The "non-nucleophilic" anion [Tf2N]- competes with the nucleophilic Br-: an unexpected trapping in the dediazoniation reaction in ionic liquids

Imidazolium ionic liquids containing [Tf2N]- anion are not as innocent as they are often considered; [Tf2N]- is more reactive than Br- in heterolytic dediazoniation reactions.     

TeSe3]2- and [TeSe2]2- as synthons

The [Au2(TeSe2)2]2- anion has been prepared from the reaction of [TeSe3]2- with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 and from the reaction of [TeSe2]2- with AuCN in DMF. Reaction of [TeSe2]2- with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 leads ultimately to the [Au2(Te2)2]2- anion.     

Anion-templated assembly of a [2]catenane

The first example of a [2]catenane structure to be synthesized using anion templation is described. The nature of the anion template is demonstrated to be crucial to the assembly process, with only chloride anion producing the [2]catenane in acceptable yield. Anion binding studies reveal a dramatic catenation effect on anion selectivity properties as compared to a noncatenated acyclic receptor.     

Structure of an I- x (H2O)6 anion cluster in a 3D anion crystal host [I x (H2O)6Fe(CN)6 x H2O]4-

A planar structure of an anion cluster I- x (H2O)6 in a 3D supramolecular complex [Ru(bpy)3]2[I x (H2O)6Fe(CN)6 x H2O] has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the supramolecule, the anion cluster I- x (H2O)6, together with the anion [Fe(CN)6 x H2O]2-, acts as a 3D crystal host, and the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ cations, as the guest molecules, occupy the vacancies of the 3D host framework. This is the first crystal example of the anion cluster I- x (H2O)6.     

2-benzazepines. 10 [1]. New d-fused 2-benzazepines

Pyrano[3,2-d][2]benzazepines were synthesized by reaction of the beta-dimethylamino unsaturated ketone 1 with malonic ester or the anion of t-butyl acetate. Conversion of the pyrano derivative to the pyrido[3,2-d]-[2]benzazepine was achieved in low yield. A pyrrolo[3,2-d][2]benzazepine was prepared via an oxazepino-[6,7-d][2]benzazepine which was obtained by reaction of 1 with the anion of ethyl isocyanoacetate.     

The effect of the "inert" counteranions in the deprotonation of the dihydrogen complex trans-[FeH(eta 2-H2)(dppe)2]+: kinetic and theoretical studies

Kinetic studies indicate that trans-[FeH(H2)(dppe)2]+ reacts with an excess of NEt3 to form cis-[FeH2(dppe)2] in a single kinetic step. The second-order rate constant is strongly affected by the presence of added salts, an acceleration being observed with BF4- and PF6- salts and a deceleration with BPh4-. Theoretical calculations indicate that the role of the accelerating anions consists of the formation of ion pairs that provide a more effective reaction pathway for deprotonation. However, for the ion pair with the bulky BPh4- anion, steric crowding in the proximities of the dihydrogen ligand hinders the approach of the base, and the reaction is decelerated.     

The (SO2)2N3- anion

The recently proposed (SO2)2N3- anion was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the [Cs][(SO2)2N3] salt (P2(1)/c, a = 8.945(2) A, b = 10.454(2) A, c = 8.152(2) A, beta = 109.166(3) degrees, Z = 4, and R1 = 0.0329 at 130 K). In the (SO2)2N3- anion, both SO2 ligands are coordinated to one terminal nitrogen atom of the N3- anion.     

Monocarbaborane anion chemistry. [COOH], [CH2OH] and [CHO] units as functional groups on ten-vertex monocarbaborane anionic compounds

B(10)H(14) reacts with para-C(6)H(4)(CHO)(COOH) in aqueous KOH solution to give the [nido-6-CB(9)H(11)-6-(C(6)H(4)-para-COOH)](-) anion 1, which undergoes cage closure with iodine in alkaline solution to give the [closo-2-CB(9)H(9)-2-(C(6)H(4)-para-COOH)](-) anion 2. Upon heating, anion 2 rearranges to form the [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(C(6)H(4)-para-COOH)](-) anion 3. Similarly, B(10)H(14) with glyoxylic acid OHCCOOH in aqueous KOH gives the [arachno-6-CB(9)H(13)-6-(COOH)](-) anion 4, which undergoes cage closure with iodine in alkaline solution to give the [closo-2-CB(9)H(9)-2-(COOH)](-) anion 5. Upon heating, anion 5 rearranges to give the [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(COOH)](-) anion 6. Reduction of the [COOH] anions 3 and 6 with diisobutylaluminium hydride gives the [CH(2)OH] hydroxy anions [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(C(6)H(4)-para-CH(2)OH)](-) and [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(CH(2)OH)](-) 8 respectively. The [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(C(6)H(4)-para-CH(2)OH)](-) anion 7 can also be made via isomerisation of the [closo-2-CB(9)H(9)-2-(C(6)H(4)-para-CH(2)OH)](-) anion 9, in turn obtained from the [nido-6-CB(9)H(11)-6-(C(6)H(4)-para-CH(2)OH)](-) anion 10, which is obtained from the reaction of B(10)H(14) with terephthaldicarboxaldehyde, C(6)H(4)-para-(CHO)(2), in aqueous KOH solution. Oxidation of the hydroxy anions 7 and 8 with pyridinium dichromate gives the aldehydic [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(C(6)H(4)-para-CHO)](-) anion 11 and the aldehydic [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-(CHO)](-) anion 12 respectively, characterised as their 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives, the [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-C(6)H(4)-para-CH=N-NHC(6)H(3)(NO(2))(2)](-) anion 13 and the [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-CH=N-NHC(6)H(3)(NO(2))(2)](-) anion respectively.     

Synthesis, NMR and vibrational spectroscopic characterization, and computational study of the cis-IO2F3 2- anion

The N(CH3)4(+) salt of the cis-IO2F3(2-) anion was synthesized from [N(CH 3)4][IO2F2] and excess [N(CH3)4][F] in CH3CN solvent. The [N(CH3)4] 2[IO2F3] salt was characterized by Raman, infrared, and (19)F solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy. Geometry optimization and calculation of the vibrational frequencies at the DFT level of theory corroborated the experimental finding that the IO2F3(2-) anion exists as a single isomer with a cis-dioxo and mer-trifluoro arrangement. The fluorine atom in IO2F3(2-) that is trans to one of the oxygen atoms is weakly bound with a calculated bond length of 228.1 pm. The IO2F3(2-) anion is only the second example of an AEO 2F 3 species after XeO2F3(-).     

Mixed-valent selenidoantimonates(III,V) with transition-metal complexes as counterions: solvothermal syntheses and characterization of [M(dien)2]2Sb4Se9 (M = Mn, Fe), [Co(dien)2]2Sb2Se6, and [Ni(dien)2]2Sb2Se5

Novel selenidoantimonate compounds [M(dien)2]2Sb4Se9 [M = Mn (1), Fe (2)], [Co(dien)2]2Sb2Se6 (3), and [Ni(dien)2]2Sb2Se5 (4) (dien = diethylenetriamine) were solvothermally synthesized and characterized. The unique features of compounds 1-3 are the mixed-valent anionic structures constructed by the Sb(III)Se3 trigonal pyramid and Sb(V)Se4 tetrahedron. Three Sb(III)Se3 pyramids share common corners, forming a heterocyclic Sb3Se6 moiety, and the Sb3Se6 moieties are further connected with Sb(V)Se4 tetrahedra to form the novel one-dimensional [Sb4Se9(4-)]n anionic chain in 1 and 2. The discrete [Sb2Se6]4- anion in 3 is formed by an Sb(III)Se3 trigonal pyramid and an Sb(V)Se4 tetrahedron sharing a common corner. The [Sb2Se5]4- anion in 4 is composed of two Sb(III)Se3 trigonal pyramids connected in the same manner as the [Sb2Se6]4- anion. The mixed-valent [Sb4Se9(4-)]n and [Sb2Se6]4- anions were not observed before. The synthesis and solid-state structural studies of the title compounds show that the transition-metal complexes exhibit different structure-directing effects on the formation of selenidoantimonates in dien. Extensive N-H...Se hydrogen bonds are observed between cations and anions in compounds 1-4, resulting in three-dimensional network structures. Optical and thermal properties of the compounds are reported.

Electronic and resonance Raman spectra of [Au2(CS3)2]2-. Spectroscopic properties of a "short" Au(I)-Au(I) bond

The anion [Au2(CS3)2]2- has an unusually short Au-Au distance (2.80 A) for a binuclear Au(I) complex. We report detailed Raman studies of the nBu4N+ salt of this complex, including FT-Raman of the solid and UV/vis resonance Raman of dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. All five totally symmetric vibrations of the anion have been located and assigned. A band at delta nu = 125 cm-1 is assigned to nu (Au2). The visible-region electronic absorption bands (384 (epsilon 30,680) and 472 nm (epsilon 610 M-1 cm-1)) are attributable to CS3(2-) localized transitions, as confirmed by the dominance of nu sym(C-Sexo) (delta nu = 951 cm-1) in RR spectra measured in this region. An absorption band at 314 nm (22,250 M-1 cm-1) is assigned as the metal-metal 1(d sigma*-->p sigma) transition, largely because nu sym(C-Sexo) is not strongly enhanced in RR involving this band. Observation of the expected strong resonance enhancement of nu (Au2) was precluded as a result of masking by intense solvent Rayleigh scattering in the UV.     

Nitrite‐Templated Synthesis of Lanthanide‐Containing [2]Rotaxanes for Anion Sensing

The first anion‐templated synthesis of a lanthanide‐containing interlocked molecule is demonstrated by utilizing a nitrite anion to template initial pseudorotaxane formation. Subsequent stoppering of the interpenetrated assembly allows for the preparation of a lanthanide‐functionalized [2]rotaxane in high yield. Following removal of the nitrite anion template, the europium [2]rotaxane host is demonstrated to recognize and sense fluoride selectively.     

Monocarbaborane anion chemistry. An interesting encapsulation of the Pd2I2(P(C6H(4)-4-Me)3)4]2+ cation by a pair of [PhCB9H4I(C6H4Me)4]- anions

Reaction of the [1-Ph-closo-1-CB9H(4)-6,7,8,9,10-I5]- anion with 4-MeC6H4MgBr in the presence of [PdCl2(PPh3)2] gives the [Pd2I2(P(C6H(4)-4-Me)3)4]2+ salt of the [1-Ph-closo-1-CB9H(4)-10-I-6,7,8,9-(C6H(4)-4-Me)4]- anion, which exhibits an unusual neutral supramolecular assembly in the solid state, in which the dipalladium dication is encapsulated by two four-armed 'tetrapus' anionic units; the anion also has potentialities for four-fold dendrimer construction.     

Organomercury(II) and tellurium(II) compounds with the "pincer" ligand 2,6-[O(CH2CH2)2NCH2]2C6H3--stabilization of an unusual organotellurium(II) cationic species

The reaction of RH (1) with Hg(OAc)(2), in EtOH, gave the acetate RHgOAc (2) [R = 2,6-[O(CH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(2)](2)C(6)H(3)]. The corresponding RHgCl (3) was obtained from 2 and LiCl. The reaction of 3 with TeCl(4) (1:1 molar ratio), in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane, resulted in the transfer of the organic ligand from mercury to tellurium and the isolation of the unexpected ionic compounds [RTe](2)[Hg(2)Cl(6)] (4) and [RH(3)][HgCl(4)] (5). The molecular structures of 1-4 and 5·H(2)O were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The acetate 2 and the chloride 3 are monomeric in solid state. In both mercury and tellurium organometallic compounds the organic group acts as an (N,C,N) "pincer" ligand. This coordination pattern provided stability for the rare [RTe](+) cation. Weak cation-anion interactions [Te···Cl 3.869(3) ?] are present between [RTe](+) and the dinuclear anion [Hg(2)Cl(6)](2-) in the crystal of 4. Theoretical calculations with DFT methods were performed for models of 3 and 4. The results show that in the cation of 4 the coordination of the nitrogen atoms play an important role for the stabilization of the structure found in the crystal whereas in 3 the coordination of the nitrogen atoms to the metal centre stabilizes to a less extent the structure found in solid state.     

N-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)aryloxytrifluoromethylsulfoximines [ArO-SO(CF3)=NTf] and N-aryltriflimides Ar-N(Tf)2 by thermal and photolytic dediazoniation of [ArN2][BF4] in [BMIM][Tf2N] ionic liquid: exploiting the ambident nucleophilic character of a "nonnucleophilic" anion

Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts undergo metathesis on immobilization in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)amide [BMIM][Tf(2)N]. The "noncoordinating", "nonnucleophilic" [Tf(2)N] anion acts as an ambident nucleophile toward the aryl cations, formed via thermal dediazoniation, to give predominantly the oxy anion quenching products [ArO-SO(CF(3))=NTf], with minimal formation of ArN(Tf)(2), irrespective of the nature of the substituent(s) on the ArN(2)+. Strong preference for the formation of oxygen trapping products did not change under photolytic conditions, where dediazoniation occurs at room temperature. A minimal amount of the Schiemann product ArF is also formed in both thermal and photolytic dediazoniation, depending on the substituent(s). Progress of dediazoniation in the IL (both thermal and photolytic) and the evolution of the products were directly monitored by (1)H and (19)F NMR. According to DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations, PhN(Tf)(2) is more stable than PhO-SO(CF(3))=NTf by 15-17 kcal/mol, depending on the basis set. Inclusion of solvation effects (PCM, with acetone and with CH(2)ClCH(2)Cl as solvent) did not change this preference. The [ArN(2)][BF(4)] dediazoniation in [BMIM][Tf(2)N] resulted in synthesis and characterization of a series of hitherto unknown [ArO-SO(CF(3))=NTf] compounds. The X-ray structure of MesO-SO(CF(3))=NTf (Mes = mesityl) is reported. On the basis of extraction studies, suitable solvent systems have been identified that remove the products without dissolving [BMIM][NTf(2)], thus overcoming product recovery difficulties typically associated with the use of this IL.

New insight into reactions of Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 with simple alkenes: alkene adduct versus dihydrodithiin product selectivity is controlled by [Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2]- anion

The nickel bis(dithiolene) complex Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 employs its sulfur centers in reactions with alkenes, and stable interligand S-bonded alkene adducts can be formed. The present study shows that the selectivity of alkene binding to charge-neutral Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 is influenced by the anion [Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2]-. In the absence of anion, formation of substituted dihydrodithiins (intraligand addition) dominates, whereas the presence of anion allows for the formation of stable interligand adducts. Mechanistic implications are discussed. The X-ray crystal structure of the ethylene adduct of Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 is presented, displaying interligand binding of ethylene to sulfur centers in the bis(dithiolene) complex.
