Synthesis,Characterization, and Sol-Gel Behavior of Dichlorotitanium(IV) (O-Alkyl,O-Cycloalkyl,and O-Aryl Trithiophosphates)

Dichlorotitanium(IV) trithiophosphates of the type TiCl₂[(RO)P(S)S₂] (where R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ, Buⁿ, Bu^s, Buⁱ, Amⁱ, Ph and cyclohexyl) have been synthesized for the first time by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride with potassium trithiophosphates in a 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene. Sol-gel chemistry of these titanium(IV) compounds has been studied in dry benzene by treatment with hydrogen sulfide gas. These newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, S, Cl, and Ti), molecular weight measurement, and spectral [IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P)] studies. The bonding mode of trithiophosphate ligands and tentative structure around titanium(IV) are discussed.     

A convenient synthesis of methylindium(III) dithiolate complexes—precursors for indium sulfides

Methylindium(III) dithiolate complexes of the general formulae [Me₂In(S^∩S)] ( 1 ) and [MeIn(S^∩S)₂] ( 2 ) [S^∩S = (EtO)₂PS₂^?, (PrⁱO)₂PS₂^?, Et₂NCS₂^?, , O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCS₂^?, EtOCS₂^? and PrⁱOCS₂^?] have been isolated conveniently by the reaction of Me₃In·OEt₂ with In(S^∩S)₃ ( 3 ) in an appropriate stoichiometry. Both 1 and 2 have been characterized by indium analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C{¹H} and ³¹P{H}) and mass spectral data. NMR data of 3 are also included for comparison. The Me–In and S^∩S resonances are sensitive to the number of methyl groups attached to indium metal. The mass spectral data indicate that these complexes are monomeric in nature. The thermal behavior of a few complexes has been investigated. The xanthate and dithiocarbamate complexes on pyrolysis under dynamic vacuum or flowing nitrogen atmosphere gave either In₂S₃ or a mixture of InS, In₂S₃ and In₆S₇, which were characterized using EDAX and powder XRD.

Syntheses and Characterization of Organoimido Complexes of Niobium(V); Potential CVD Precursors

New niobium imido complexes (RN)Nb(NEt₂)₃ (R = Prⁿ, Prⁱ and Bu^t), potential precursors to grow niobium containing thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), were prepared by reacting the corresponding (RN)NbCl₃py₂ complexes (R = Prⁿ, Prⁱ and Bu^t; py = pyridine) with LiNEt₂ in hydrocarbon solvents. The structures of (RN)NbCl₃py₂ (R = Prⁱ and Bu^t), determined by X-ray crystallography, are mononuclear with distorted octahedral geometries, For each complex, three chloride ligands are cis to the imido ligand and occupy meridional positions. One of two py ligands is cis to and the other is trans to the imido ligand. For (PrⁱN)NbCl₃py₂, the Nb=NPrⁱ bond distance (Å) is 1.733(3) and the ∠Nb=N-Prⁱ angle (°) is 178.0(3). Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 8.805(2), b = 14.930(4), c = 13, 407(3) Å, β = 93.37(2)°, V = 1759.5(7) ų, Z = 4, D_c = 1.565 g cm³. For (Bu^tN)NbCl₃py₂, the Nb=NBu^t bond distance (Å) is 1.734(4) and the ∠Nb=N-Bu^l angle (°) is 174.8(4). Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 9.609(1), b = 13.591(6), c = 14.615(2) Å, β = 90.05(1)°, V = 1908.5(9) ų, Z = 4, D_c = 1.492 g cm^?3.     

Indium‐Bridged [1]Ferrocenophanes

Indium‐bridged [1]ferrocenophanes ([1]FCPs) and [1.1]ferrocenophanes ([1.1]FCPs) were synthesized from dilithioferrocene species and indium dichlorides. The reaction of Li₂fc?tmeda (fc=(H₄C₅)₂Fe) and (Mamx)InCl₂ (Mamx=6‐(Me₂NCH₂)‐2,4‐tBu₂C₆H₂) gave a mixture of the [1]FCP (Mamx)Infc ( 4₁ ), the [1.1]FCP [(Mamx)Infc]₂ ( 4₂ ), and oligomers [(Mamx)Infc]_n ( 4 _n ). In a similar reaction, employing the enantiomerically pure, planar‐chiral (S_p,S_p)‐1,1′‐dibromo‐2,2′‐diisopropylferrocene ( 1 ) as a precursor for the dilithioferrocene derivative Li₂fc^iPr2, equipped with two iPr groups in the α position, gave the inda[1]ferrocenophane 5₁ [(Mamx)Infc^iPr2] selectively. Species 5₁ underwent ring‐opening polymerization to give the polymer 5 _n . The reaction between Li₂fc^iPr2 and Ar′InCl₂ (Ar′=2‐(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄) gave an inseparable mixture of the [1]FCP Ar′Infc^iPr2 ( 6₁ ) and the [1.1]FCP [Ar′Infc^iPr2]₂ ( 6₂ ). Hydrogenolysis reactions (BP86/TZ2P) of the four inda[1]ferrocenophanes revealed that the structurally most distorted species ( 5₁ ) is also the most strained [1]FCP.     

α‐Tetraphosphorus Trichalcogenide Diamides and Imides containing both Sulfur and Selenium

Reaction of a mixture of bicyclic phosphorus sulfide selenide iodides α‐P₄S_nSe_3−nI₂ (n = 0–3) with PrⁱNH₂ and Et₃N gave corresponding diamides α‐P₄S_nSe_3−n(NHPrⁱ)₂ (n = 0–3) and imides α‐P₄S_nSe_3−n(μ‐NPrⁱ) (n = 2–3), identified in solution by ³¹P NMR. In one isomer of α‐P₄S₂Se(μ‐NPrⁱ), the C₂ symmetry of imides such as α‐P₄S₃(μ‐NPrⁱ) was broken, allowing relative assignment of ²J NMR couplings to the PNP bridge and the PSP bridge opposite to it. The coupling through the sulfur bridge was found to be reduced to ca. zero, in contrast to previous assumptions for this class of compounds. Ab initio models were calculated at the MPW1PW91/svp level for the sulfide selenide imides and for a selection of bond rotamers of the diamides, and at the MPW1PW91/LanL2DZ(d) level for the sulfide selenide diiodides. Different skeletal isomers were prevalent for the mixed chalcogenide diamides than for the diiodides, showing that exchange of chalcogen between skeletal positions took place in the amination reaction even at room temperature. Similar differences to those observed were predicted by the models, suggesting that equilibrium was attained.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of tetrabutyldithioimidodiphosphinates

Butyl substituted imidodithiophosphinates R₂P(S)NP (S)R′₂ (R=ⁿBuⁱBu^sBuR′=ⁿBuⁱBu^sBu) have been synthesised via an HBr elimination reaction between R₂P(S)NH₂ and R′₂P(S)Br The compounds were characterised spectroscopically Crystallographic and spectroscopic studies reveal ⁿBu₂P(S)NHP(S)ⁿBu₂ and ^sBu₂P(S)NHP(S)ⁱBu₂ to be hydrogen bonded transoid dimers and ⁱBu₂P(S)NHP(S)ⁱBu₂ to be a transoid hydrogen bonded chain Reactions of the imidodithiophosphinates with ZnCl₂ or MCl₂COD gave the coordination complexes M[R₂P(S)NP (S)R′₂]₂ (R=ⁿBuⁱBu^sBuR′=ⁿBuⁱBu^sBuM=ZnPd: R=ⁿBuⁱBu^sBuPt).     

Chiral (1,2)‐Diphenylethylene‐Salen Complexes of Triel Metals: Coordination Patterns and Mechanistic Considerations in the Isoselective ROP of Lactide

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure aluminium, gallium and indium complexes supported by chiral (R,R)‐(^HHONNO^HH) ( 1 ), (R,R)‐(^MeHONNO^HMe) ( 2 ), (R,R)‐(^tButBuONNO^tButBu) ( 3 ), (R,R)‐(^MeNO2ONNO^MeNO2) ( 4 ), (R,R)‐(^HOMeONNO^HOMe) ( 5 ) and (R,R)‐(^ClClONNO^ClCl) ( 6 ) (1,2)‐diphenylethylene‐salen ligands is described. Several of these complexes have been crystallographically authenticated, which highlights a diversity of coordination patterns. Whereas all Ga complexes form [Ga₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₄(ONNO)] bimetallic species (ONNO= 1 – 3 ), aluminium [AlR(ONNO)] (R=Me, CH₂SiMe₃) and indium [In(CH₂SiMe₃)(ONNO)] derivatives are monometallic for ONNO= 1 , 2 and 4 – 6 , and only form the bimetallic complexes [Al₂R₄(ONNO)] and [In₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₄(ONNO)] for the most sterically crowded ligand 3 . The [AlMe(ONNO)] complexes react with iPrOH to give [AlOiPr(ONNO)] complexes that are robust towards further iPrOH. The [In(CH₂SiMe₃)(ONNO)] congeners are inert towards excess alcohol, whereas the Ga compounds decompose easily. All these alkyl complexes, as well as the [AlOiPr(ONNO)] derivatives, catalyse the ring‐opening polymerisation (ROP) of racemic lactide (rac‐LA). The [AlMe(ONNO)] complexes require additional alcohol to afford controlled reactions, but [AlOiPr(ONNO)] complexes are single‐component catalysts for the isoselective ROP of rac‐LA, with values of P_m in the range 0.80–0.90. Experimental evidence unexpectedly shows that chain‐end control leads to the isoselectivity of these aluminium catalysts; also, the more crowded the coordination sphere, the higher the isoselectivity. The bimetallic Ga complexes do not afford controlled reactions, but the binary [In(ONNO)(CH₂SiMe₃)/(PhCH₂OH)] systems competently mediate non‐stereoselective ROP; evidence is given that an activated monomer mechanism is at work. Kinetic studies show that catalytic activity decreases when electronic density and steric congestion at the metal atom increase.     

Effect of substituents on the catalytic properties of bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride complexes with polymethylaluminoxane and AlBu1 3/CPh3B(C6F5)4 cocatalysts in ethylene polymerization

The catalytic properties of the complexes (RCp)₂ZrCl₂ (R=H, Me, Prⁱ, Buⁿ, Buⁱ, Me₃Si,cyclo-C₆H₁₁), and Me₂SiCp^*NBuⁱZrCl₂ (Cp^*=C₅(CH₃)₄) combined with the AlBuⁱ ₃−CPh₃B(C₆F₅)₄ cocatalyst in ethylene polymerization were studied. The specific activity of the substituted bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes decreases in the sequence: Me>Prⁱ>Buⁿ>Buⁱ>Me₃Si>cyclo-C₆H₁₁, which corresponds to the activity sequence for these complexes activated by polymethylaluminoxane (MAO) but is 4–20 times lower in absolute value. Comparison of the polyethylene samples obtained in the presence of the same complexes with MAO and AlBuⁱ ₃−CPh₃B(C₆F₅)₄ cocatalysts showed that polyethylene with much higher molecular mass, melting point, and crystallinity is formed in the presence of the ternary catalytic systems, and this indicates a different nature of the active sites of the catalytic systems. The effective activation energy of polymerization (≈3.6 kcal mol⁻¹), first order with respect to monomer and ≈0.4 order with respect to organoaluminum component, was found for the (PrⁱCo)₂ZrCl₂−AlBuⁱ ₃−CPh₃B(C₆F₅)₄ catalytic system. It was proposed on the basis of the kinetic data that AlⁱBu₃ enters into the composition of the active site to form a bridged heteronuclear cationic complex. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of Heterobimetallic Bu2Sn(IV) Complexes Derived from Some Chelating Ligands

The interaction of Bu₂Sn(OPrⁱ)₂ with a trifunctional tetradentate Schiff base (LH₃) (where H₃L = HOC₆H₄CH═NCH₃C(CH₂OH)₂) yields the precursor complex Bu₂Sn(LH) 1, which, on equimolar reactions with different metal alkoxides [Al(OPrⁱ)₃, Bu₃Sn(OPrⁱ), Ge(OEt)₄]; Al(Medea)(OPrⁱ) (where Medea = CH₃N- (CH₂CH₂O)₂); and Me₃SiCl in the presence of Et₃N], affords, respectively, the complexes Bu₂Sn(L)Al(OPrⁱ)₂ 2, Bu₂Sn(L)Al(Medea) 3, Bu₂Sn(L)Bu₃Sn 4, Bu₂Sn(L)Ge(OEt)₃ 5, and Bu₂Sn(L)SiMe₃ 6. The reactions of 2 with 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol in a 1:1 ratio and with acetylacetone (acacH) in a 1:2 molar ratio afforded derivatives Bu₂Sn(L)Al(OC(CH₃)₂CH₂CH₂C(CH₃)₂ O) 7 and Bu₂Sn(L)Al(acac)₂ 8, respectively. All of the derivatives 1– 8 have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurements, and spectroscopic [IR and NMR (¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn, ²⁹Si, and ²⁷Al)] studies.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIzATION OF TRIPHENYLANTIMONY (V) (O-ALKYL,O-CYCLOALKYL AND O-ARYLTRITHIOPHOSPHATES)

Triphenylantimony (V) (O-alkyl,O-cycloalkyl and O-aryltrithiophosphates) of the type Ph ₃ Sb[S ₂ (S)P(OR)] (R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ , Pr ⁱ , Bu ⁿ , Bu ^s , Bu ⁱ , Am ⁱ , Ph and C.h. = cyclohexyl) have been synthesized for the first time by the reaction of triphenylantimony (V) dibromide with potassium trithiophosphates in 1:1 molar ratio in methanol. These new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determinations, and spectroscopic (IR,¹³C and ³¹P NMR) studies. On the basis of these data trigonal bipyramidal geometry has been proposed for these compounds.     

Cyclization of N-alkyldithiocarbamates in alkaline media,a counter example of well-known chemistry – an experimental and theoretical study

In strong alkaline media, the reaction of 2-(tert-butylamino)ethanol (3: R?=?Bu^t) with CS₂ at 0°C produced a cyclic dithiocarbamate, 3-tert-butylthiazolidine-2-thione (1: R?=?Bu^t), rather than alkaline metal or ammonium salts of [S₂CN(Bu^t)CH₂CH₂OH]^?. This is in contrast to isolation of stable alkaline metal or ammonium salts of [S₂CN(R)CH₂CH₂OH]^? (R?=?Me, Et, Pr, or CH₂CH₂OH) obtained in analogous reactions. The use of Ni(OAc)₂, both as a source of Ni(II) and a weaker base, in a one-pot reaction with (3: R?=?Bu^t) and CS₂, successfully gave the first reported metal complex of [S₂CN(Bu^t)CH₂CH₂OH]^?, namely [Ni{S₂CN(Bu^t)CH₂CH₂OH}₂] (2: R?=?Bu^t). Compounds 1 and 2 have been fully characterized by infrared and NMR spectroscopies, and by X-ray crystallography. DFT calculations on the cyclization and stabilities of [S₂CN(R)CH₂CH₂OH]^? (R?=?Pr and Bu^t) have been carried out.     

Preparation of copper-indium sulfide thin films by single-source OMCVD: Mass-spectral investigation of decomposition path of the organometallic sources

In order to prepare high-quality CuInS₂ thin films vapor phase decomposition patterns of three copper-indium binuclear complexes, and as candidates for source materials were investigated using EI MS. The complex 1c showed series of intensive peaks due to the fragmentation of M⁺. For 1a, only a fragmentation pattern starting from BuIn(S₂CNBu₂)₂ was detectable. This should suggest that 1a decomposed into BuIn(S₂CNBu₂)₂ and copper sulfide before vaporization. In addition an ambiguous feature could be observed for 1b, viz. two fragmentation paths. Consequently, we judge that 1c is a suitable source complex to prepare CuInS₂ thin films via a single-source OMCVD process. Thus chalcopyrite CuIns₂ thin films were successfully prepared via single-source OMCVD using 1c as a source complex, with T_substrate400°C, T_source80°C, base pressure 0.7 Torr and carrier (nitrogen) flow rate 0.8 L min^?1. Fragmentation of two copper dithiocarbmates, Cu(S₂CNBu₂)₂ and Cu[S₂CN(i-Pr)₂]₂, and two butylindium thiolates, Bu₂InS(i-Pr) and BuIn[S(i-Pr)]₂, as components of 1 is additionally discussed.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DICHLORODIMETHOXYMOLYBDENUM (V) 0,0′-DIALKY L(ALKYLENE) DITHIOPHOSPHATE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Dichlorodimethoxymolybdenum(V) 0.0′-dialkyl dithiophosphates, MoCI₂(OMe)₂S₂,P(OR)₂ (where R = Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ,Buⁱ) and dichlorodimethoxymolybdenum (V), 0,0′-alkylene dithiophosphates, MoCI₂(OMe)₂S₂POGO (where G = CH₂CMe₂-, -CMe₂,CMe₂-,-CHMeCHMe-) have been synthesized by the reactions of MoCI₃ (OMe)₂, with sodium (or ammonium) salts of the corresponding dithiophosphoric acids.

These complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, ³¹P NMR spectral data, magnetic studies and molecular weight determinations, which show their paramagnetic as well as dimeric nature. Based on these data, plausible structures containing hepta-coordinated molybdenum have been suggested for these compounds.     

Kinetic Analysis of the Thermal Decomposition of Dialkyldithiocarbamates Chelates of Indium(III)

The kinetics of thermal decomposition of solid In(S₂CNR₂)₃ complexes, (R=CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₃H₇,i-C₃H₇, n-C₄H₉ and i-C₄H₉), has been studied using isothermal and non-isothermal thermogravimetry. Superimposed TG/DTG/DSC curves show that thermal decomposition reactions occur in the liquid phase, except for the In(S₂CNMe₂)₃ and In(S₂CNPrⁱ ₂)₃ compounds. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Die Reaktionen von tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2 und (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(Me)tBu2 mit PR3

The Reactions of ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ and (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ with PR₃ ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) reacts at 20 °C with PMe₃, PEt₃, P(c‐Hex)₃, P(p‐Tol)₃, PPh₂Me, PPh₂Et, PPhEt₂, PPh₂ⁱPr, PPh₃ and P(NEt₂)₃ yielding ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ and ^tBu₂PMe; however, P^tBu₃, P^tBu₂(SiMe₃) and ^tBu₂PCl don't. ^tBu₂PH and 1 form ^tBu₂P–PH–P^tBu₂ which yields ^tBu₂P–P=PEt₃ when treated with PEt₃. Ph₂PH, ^tBuPH₂, PH₃, Ph₂PCl and EtOH don't substitute the ^tBu₂PMe group in 1 , instead, the molecule is decomposed. With PEt₃, (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ forms (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=PEt₃. The compounds ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ decompose at 20 °C to different degrees giving P‐rich consecutive products of the phosphinophosphinidene.     

Phosphinophosphiniden-Phosphorane tBu2P?P = P(R)tBu2 aus Li(THF)2[η2-(tBu2P)2P] und Alkylhalogeniden

The Phosphinophosphinidene-phosphoranes ^tBu₂P? P = P(R)^tBu₂ from Li(THF)₂[η²-(^tBu₂P)₂P] and Alkyl Halides We report the formation of ^tBu₂P? P = P(R)^tBu₂ a and (^tBu₂)₂PR b (with R = Me, Et, ⁿPr, ⁱPr, ⁿBu, PhCH₂, H₂C = CH? CH₂ and CF₃) reactions of Li(THF)₂[η²-(^tBu₂P)₂P] 2 with MeCl, MeI, EtCl, EtBr, ⁿPrCl, ⁿPrBr, ⁱPrCl, ⁿBuBr, PhCH₂Cl, H₂C = CH? CH₂Cl or CF₃Br. In THF solutions the ylidic compounds a predominate, whereas in pentane the corresponding triphosphanes b are preferrably formed. With ClCH₂? CH = CH₂ only b is produced; CF₃Br however yields both ^tBu₂P? P = P(Br)^tBu₂ and ^tBu₂P? P = P(CF₃)^tBu₂, but no b . The ratio of a:b is influenced by the reaction temperature, too. The compounds ^tBu₂P? P = P(Et)^tBu₂ 4a and (^tBu₂P)₂PEt 4 b , e. g., are produced in a ratio of 4:3 at ?70°C in THF, and 1:1 at 20°C; whereas 1:1 is obtained at ?70°C in pentane, and 1:2 at 20°C. Neither ^tBuCl nor H₂C = CHCl react with 2 . The compounds a decompose thermally or under UV irradiation forming ^tBu₂PR and the cyclophosphanes (^tBu₂P)_nP_n.     

Alkylxanthates of phenylarsenic(III)

Bis-xanthates of phenylarsenic(III), having the general formula, PhAs(S₂COR)₂ (where R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ, allyl and Buⁿ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight, IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and mass spectral data which have been discussed in relation to plausible structures for these arsenic derivatives.     

Stereospecific post-metallocene polymerization catalysts: the example of isospecific styrene polymerization

In the context of developing single-site stereoselective post-metallocene catalysts, the case for isospecific styrene polymerization catalysts based on methylaluminoxane-activated group 4 metal bis(phenolato) complexes is summarized. Ligands derived from the 1,4-dithiabutanediyl-linked bis(phenol)s have been found to induce stereochemical rigidity by the presence of the hemi-labile sulfide donor functions. Isospecific styrene polymerization was achieved using easily accessible catalyst precursors of the type [MX₂(OC₆H₂-^tBu₂-4,6)₂{S(CH₂)₂S}] (M = Ti, Zr, Hf; X = Cl, OⁱPr, CH₂Ph). Activating the dibenzyl titanium complex [Ti(CH₂Ph)₂(OC₆H₂-^tBu₂-4,6)₂{S(CH₂)₂S}] with B(C₆F₅)₃ and AlⁱBu₃, controlled isotactic polymerization became possible at lower temperatures. A remarkable dependence of both the activity and stereoselectivity on the ligand substitution pattern was observed. Analogous precursors with the 1,5-dithiapentanediyl-linked bis(phenolato) ligand gave syndiotactic polystyrene with lower activity.     

O-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Triorganotin(IV) and S-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Diorganotin(IV) Chloride

Reactions of triorganotin chlorides with potassium salt of O-alkyl trithiophosphate [ROP(S)(SK)₂; R = Me, Prⁱ, Ph] in 2:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene yield triorganotin O-alkyl trithiophosphate of the type ROP(S) [SSnR′₃]₂ R = Me, Prⁱ; Ph, R′ = Prⁿ, Buⁿ, Ph] which are found to be monomeric in nature. These complexes are soluble in common organic solvents. Similar reactions of diorganotin chloride with dipotassium salt of S-alkyl trithiophosphate yield diorganotin-S-alkyl trithiophosphate of the type [(RS)P(O)S₂]₂SnR′₂; R = Me, Prⁱ; R′ = Me, Et, Ph, which also are found to be monomeric in nature and are soluble in common organic solvents. The newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques, IR, NMR (¹H, ³¹P, and ¹¹⁹Sn).     

Zum Einfluß der Substituenten R = Ph,NEt2, iPr und tBu in Triphosphanen, (R2P)2P?SiMe3, und Phosphiden,Li(THF)2[(R2P)2P], auf die Bildung und Eigenschaften von Phosphinophosphiniden-Phosphoranen

Concerning the Influence of the Substituents R = Ph, NEt₂, ⁱPr, and ^tBu in Triphosphanes (R₂P)₂P? SiMe₃ and Phosphides Li(THF)₂[(R₂P)₂P] on the Formation and Properties of Phosphino-phosphinidene-phosphoranes The triphosphanes X₂P? P(SiMe₃)? PY₂ 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and the derived phosphides Li(THF)₂[X₂P? P? PY₂] 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 were synthesized: 5 and 6 with X₂ = ⁱPr₂ and Y₂ = ^tBu₂, 7 and 8 with X₂ = Y₂ = Ph^tBu, 9 and 10 with X₂ = ^tBu₂ and Y₂ = Ph₂, 11 and 12 with X₂ = Y₂ = Ph₂, and 13 and 14 with X₂ = ^tBu₂ and Y₂ = (NEt₂)₂. The silylated triphosphanes at ?70°C in toluene with CBr₄ may yield X₂P? P?P(Br)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Br)? PY₂, and the lithiated phosphides with MeCl may yield X₂P? P?P(Me)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Me)? PY₂ depending on X and Y. The bromiated product of 5 (X₂ = ⁱPr₂, Y₂ = ^tBu₂) is the ylide ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂, and the methylated derivatives of 6 are both ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂, ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)ⁱPr and the methylated triphosphane. Ph₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂ as well as the brominated triphosphane are obtained from 9 (X₂ = ^tBu₂, Y₂ = Ph₂), and similarly Ph₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂ and the methylated triphosphane from 10 . Compound 14 (X₂ = ^tBu₂, Y₂ = (NEt₂)₂ gives rise to the brominated ylide ^tBu₂)P? P?P(Br) · (NEt₂)₂ and to the brominated triphosphane, and on methylation to ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)(NEt₂)₂ and to ^tBu₂P? P(Me)? P · (NEt₂)₂ (main product). The Br substituted derivatives decompose already on warming to ?30°C, while the methylated compounds are stable up to 20°C.
