N-phosphonio formamidine derivatives: Synthesis,characterization, X-ray crystal structures,and deprotonation reactions

A simple and efficient method for the preparation of N-phosphonio formamidine derivatives of the general formula [R”₂N?C(H)=N?P(R’)R₂]⁺X^? is described. The data recorded in solution and the single crystal X-ray studies revealed that these compounds are best described by the combination of the two mesomeric N-phosphonio formamidine [R”₂N?C(H)=N?P(R’)R₂]⁺ and iminium phosphazene [R”₂N=C(H)?N=P(R’)R₂]⁺ forms. Formamidine phosphorus ylides ⁱPr₂N?C(H)=N?P(CH₂)R₂ were prepared after addition of ^tBuLi at –78 °C from the corresponding N-phosphonio compounds. [(PhCN)₂Pd(Cl)₂] was reacted with ⁱPr₂N?C(H)=N?P(CH₂)ⁱPr₂ to form the dimeric complex [(ⁱPr₂N?C(H)=N?P(CH₂)ⁱPr₂)Pd(Cl)(μ-Cl)]₂ which was structurally characterized by X-ray analysis. The deprotonation reactions conducted on [ⁱPr₂N?C(H)=N?PPh₃]⁺X^? occurred via an intramolecular rearrangement to give the cyanamide compound ⁱPr₂N?C≡N and PPh₃; transient formation of the amino-phosphazene-carbene ⁱPr₂N?C?N=PPh₃ was not observed.     

Homoleptische Amide von Zink,Cadmium und Quecksilber

Homoleptic Amides of Zinc, Cadmium, and Mercury ZnCl₂, CdCl₂ and HgCl₂ react with the lithium salts ( 1 a–5 a ) of the sterically demanding secundary amines HN(SiMe₃)Ph ( 1 ), HN(SiMe₃)C₆H₃Me₂‐2,6 ( 2 ), HN(SiMe₃)C₆H₃ⁱPr₂‐2,6 ( 3 ), HN(SiMe₃)C₆H₃^tBu₂‐2,5 ( 4 ), and HN(SiMe₂NMe₂)C₆H₃ⁱPr₂‐2,6 ( 5 ) yielding the corresponding homoleptic metal amides Zn[N(SiMe₂R′)R]₂ ( 1 b–5 b ), Cd[N(SiMe₂R′)R]₂ ( 1 c , 5 c ), and Hg[N(SiMe₂R′)R]₂ ( 1 d–5 d ), respectively. Except the dimeric {Zn[N(SiMe₃)Ph]₂}₂ ( 1 b ), all complexes are monomeric. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, NMR and mass spectra. Furthermore, the zinc amides ( 1 b–5 b ) and the mercury amides 1 d–3 d and 5 d were characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Except 1 b and 5 b , they show a linear N–M–N arrangement.     

Zur Elektronenstruktur von Phosphor(III)-p-π-Bindungssystemen: UV- und PE-spektroskopische Untersuchungen an Methylenphosphanen vom Typ R?PC(SiMe3)2

On the Electronic Structure of Phosphorus(III)-p-π-Bonded Systems: UV and PE Spectroscopic Investigation of Phosphaalkenes R? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ UV and He-I-p.e. spectra of phosphaalkenes R? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ 3 (R = Cl, F, OBu^t, SBu^t, NHBu^t, NHSiMe₃, NEt₂, NPr₂ⁱ, 2, 2, 6, 6-Me₄C₅H₆N, N(Bu^t)SiMe₃, N(SiMe₃)₂, Me, Bu^t) are discussed. Assignment of π(P?C)- and n(P) ionization potentials agrees with UV data as well as semiempirical MNDO calculations. The alkyl-substituted species 31, m exhibit an inverse sequence of π(P?C) and n(P)-i.p.'s compared to theoretical predictions and recent spectroscopic studies, due to the π-electron accepting effect of the silyl substituents. Introduction of RO and RS substituents results in formation of a mesomeric 3-center-4-electron-π-system. Two different conformers of amino-phosphaalkenes can be distinguished which depend on the steric demand of the substituent, and differ in the orientation of the amine ligand in relation to the plane of molecular symmetry. Coexistence of both isomers is proved in case of 3h by temperature dependant UV studies. The existence of conformational isomerism provides an explanation for the remarkable differences in n.m.r. data of 3e – k .     

Highly Active,Low‐Valence Molybdenum‐ and Tungsten‐Amide Catalysts for Bifunctional Imine‐Hydrogenation Reactions

The reactions of [M(NO)(CO)₄(ClAlCl₃)] (M=Mo, W) with (iPr₂PCH₂CH₂)₂NH, (PN^HP) at 90 °C afforded [M(NO)(CO)(PN^HP)Cl] complexes (M=Mo, 1a ; W, 1b ). The treatment of compound 1a with KOtBu as a base at room temperature yielded the alkoxide complex [Mo(NO)(CO)(PN^HP)(OtBu)] ( 2a ). In contrast, with the amide base Na[N(SiMe₃)₂], the PN^HP ligand moieties in compounds 1a and 1b could be deprotonated at room temperature, thereby inducing dehydrochlorination into amido complexes [M(NO)(CO)(PNP)] (M=Mo, 3a ; W, 3b ; PNP=(iPr₂PCH₂CH₂)₂N)). Compounds 3a and 3b have pseudo‐trigonal‐bipyramidal geometries, in which the amido nitrogen atom is in the equatorial plane. At room temperature, compounds 3a and 3b were capable of adding dihydrogen, with heterolytic splitting, thereby forming pairs of isomeric amine‐hydride complexes [Mo(NO)(CO)H(PN^HP)] ( 4a(cis) and 4a(trans) ) and [W(NO)(CO)H(PN^HP)] ( 4b(cis) and 4b(trans) ; cis and trans correspond to the position of the H and NO groups). H₂ approaches the Mo/W?N bond in compounds 3a , 3b from either the CO‐ligand side or from the NO‐ligand side. Compounds 4a(cis) and 4a(trans) were only found to be stable under a H₂ atmosphere and could not be isolated. At 140 °C and 60 bar H₂, compounds 3a and 3b catalyzed the hydrogenation of imines, thereby showing maximum turnover frequencies (TOFs) of 2912 and 1120 h^?1, respectively, for the hydrogenation of N‐(4 ‐ methoxybenzylidene)aniline. A Hammett plot for various para‐substituted imines revealed linear correlations with a negative slope of ?3.69 for para substitution on the benzylidene side and a positive slope of 0.68 for para substitution on the aniline side. Kinetics analysis revealed the initial rate of the hydrogenation reactions to be first order in c(cat.) and zeroth order in c(imine). Deuterium kinetic isotope effect (DKIE) experiments furnished a low k_H/k_D value (1.28), which supported a Noyori‐type metal–ligand bifunctional mechanism with H₂ addition as the rate‐limiting step.     

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.     

Lutetium‐Methanediide‐Alkyl Complexes: Synthesis and Chemistry

The first four‐coordinate methanediide/alkyl lutetium complex (BODDI)Lu₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₂(μ₂‐CHSiMe₃)(THF)₂ (BODDI=ArNC(Me)CHCOCHC(Me)NAr, Ar=2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃) ( 1 ) was synthesized by a thermolysis methodology through α‐H abstraction from a Lu–CH₂SiMe₃ group. Complex 1 reacted with equimolar 2,6‐iPrC₆H₃NH₂ and Ph₂C?O to give the corresponding lutetium bridging imido and oxo complexes (BODDI)Lu₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₂(μ₂‐N‐2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃)(THF)₂ ( 2 ) and (BODDI)Lu₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₂(μ₂‐O)(THF)₂ ( 3 ). Treatment of 3 with Ph₂C?O (4 equiv) caused a rare insertion of Lu–μ₂‐O bond into the C?O group to afford a diphenylmethyl diolate complex 4 . Reaction of 1 with PhN=C?O (2 equiv) led to the migration of SiMe₃ to the amido nitrogen atom to give complex (BODDI)Lu₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₂‐μ‐{PhNC(O)CHC(O)NPh(SiMe₃)‐κ³N,O,O}(THF) ( 5 ). Reaction of 1 with tBuN?C formed an unprecedented product (BODDI)Lu₂(CH₂SiMe₃){μ₂‐[η²:η²‐tBuNC(=CH₂)SiMe₂CHC?NtBu‐κ¹N]}(tBuN?C)₂ ( 6 ) through a cascade reaction of N?C bond insertion, sequential cyclometalative γ‐(sp³)‐H activation, C?C bond formation, and rearrangement of the newly formed carbene intermediate. The possible mechanistic pathways between 1 , PhN?C?O, and tBuN?C were elucidated by DFT calculations.     

First Copper(I) and Silver(I) Complexes Containing Phosphanylphosphido Ligands

Three new complexes with phosphanylphosphido ligands, [Cu₄{μ₂‐P(SiMe₃)‐PtBu}₄] ( 1 ), [Ag₄{μ₂‐P(SiMe₃)‐PtBu₂}₄] ( 2 ) and [Cu{η¹‐P(SiMe₃)‐PiPr₂}₂]^–[Li(Diglyme)₂]⁺ ( 3 ) were synthesized and structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Complexes 1 and 2 were obtained in the reactions of lithium derivative of diphosphane tBu₂P‐P(SiMe₃)Li · 2.7THF with CuCl and [iBu₃PAgCl]₄, respectively. The X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the complexes 1 and 2 present macrocyclic, tetrameric form with Cu₄P₄ and Ag₄P₄ core. Complex 3 was prepared in the reaction of CuCl with a different derivative of lithiated diphosphane iPr₂P‐P(SiMe₃)Li · 2(Diglyme). Surprisingly, the X‐ray analysis of 3 revealed that in this reaction instead of the tetramer the monomeric form, ionic complex [Cu{η¹‐P(SiMe₃)‐PiPr₂}₂]^–[Li(Diglyme)₂]⁺ was formed.     

Zur Reaktion von Fluorphosphanen mit Silylaziden

On the Reaction of Fluorophosphanes with Silylazides . The fluorophosphanes Ph₂PF ( 1 ), PhOPF₂ ( 2 ), C₅H₁₀NPF₂ ( 3 ), (Et₂N)PF₂ ( 4 ), and (Et₂N)₂PF ( 5 ) react with Me₃SiN₃ via azidophosphanes R_3?nP(N₃)_n to oligo- and polyphosphazenes, (RR′P?N)_n. (ⁱPr₂N)₂PF ( 6 ), however, is oxidized by Me₃SiN₃ yielding the N-silylated phosphazene (ⁱPr₂N)₂PF?N? SiMe₃ ( 7 ). ^tBuPh₂SiN₃ is considerably less reactive. On contrary to Me₃SiN₃ it even oxidizes 5 and 1 forming (Et₂N)₂FP?N? SiPh₂^tBu ( 10 ) and Ph₂FP?N? SiPh₂^tBu, resp.     

The regioselective oxidation of 1-trimethylsilycyclopropenes to α-trimethylsilyl-α,β,- unsaturated ketones

Reaction of the cyclopropenes (3, R₁ = Me, R₂ = Me), (3, R₁ = H, R₂ = Prⁱ) and (3, R₁ = H, R₂ = Bu^t) and with one equivalent of m-chloroperbenzoic acid leads to the enones (4) and (7, R = Prⁱ and Bu^t respectively, in the last two cases accompanied by about 15% of the regioisomer (8, R = Prⁱ or Bu^t. In the case of (3, R₁ = Me, R₂ = H) oxidation with excess reagent led to the formate (9, R = SiMe₃) and two intermediates (11) and (10, R = SiMe₃) could be identified.     

NEW POLYHETEROATOMIC CYCLIC MOLECULES CONTAINING ELEMENTS of the 13.–16. GROUP

During studies of the reactions of ─N(H)SiMe ₃ and ─N(Me)SiMe ₃ derivatives of Cl ₃ PNSO ₂ Cl with acetonitrile and BCl ₃ we have obtained six-membered polyheteroatomic cycles ?P(Cl ₂ )NSO ₂ (Cl)N(H) C(Me)N? and ?P(Cl ₂ )NS(O)(Cl)OB(Cl ₂ )N(Me)?.^{1, 2} In the system Ph ₂ PCl ₃ , H ₂ NSO ₂ Cl and HN(SiMe ₃ ) ₂ we have identified and isolated several P─N─S cycles, e.g. the reaction of Ph ₂ PCl ₃ with H ₂ NSO ₂ Cl gives Ph ₂ ClPNSO ₂ Cl³ which with HN(SiMe ₃ ) ₂ reacts to ?S(O ₂ )N(H)P(Ph) ₂ N(H)SO ₂ N(H)P(Ph) ₂ N(H)?, ?S(O ₂ )N(H)S(O ₂ )N(H)P(Ph) ₂ N(H)P(Ph) ₂ N(H)? and ?[S(O ₂ )N(H) P(Ph) ₂ NP(Ph) ₂ N(H)]⁺? Cl^?; Ph ₂ PCl ₃ with HN(SiMe ₃ ) ₂ gives N[P(Ph) ₂ N(H)SiMe ₃ ] ₂ ⁺ Cl^?, and H ₂ NSO ₂ Cl with HN(SiMe ₃ ) ₂ leads to SO ₂ (NHSiMe ₃ ) ₂ . The reaction of Ph ₂ PCl ₃ with HN(SiMe ₃ ) ₂ gives N(P(Ph) ₂ NHSiMe ₃ ) ₂ Cl in a very good yield which was further used to syntheses of metal-containing heterocycles. By the reaction of N[P(Ph) ₂ N(H)SiMe ₃ ] ₂ ⁺Cl^? with some covalent halogenides we have obtained six-membered heterocycles containing B, As, In, and Sn. The same cyclic compounds can also obtained by the reaction of N[P(Ph ₂ )NH ₂ ] ₂ ⁺Cl^? or HN(P(R ₂ )N(H)SiMe ₃ ) ₂ with covalent halogenides.^4?6 However, the synthetic route via N[P(Ph) ₂ NHSiMe ₃ ] ₂ ⁺Cl^? is more convenient and gives the compounds in almost quantitative yields. The identity of all compounds was unambiguously establised by their X-ray structure determination.     

Phosphan-, Phosphit- und Phosphido-Komplexe des Vanadiums(V)

Phosphane, Phosphite, Phosphido, Complexes of Vanadium(V) Complex formation of tert-butylimidovanadium(V)trichloride ( 1 ) with phosphanes und phosphites has been studied. Syntheses of phosphidovanadium(V) compounds ^tC₄H₉N?VCp(NH^tC₄H₉)[P(SiMe₃)₂] and ^tC₄H₉N?VCp(NⁱProp₂)(PR₂) (R?SiMe₃, Ph) are described starting from the corresponding chlorovanadium(V) complexes. The reaction of 1 with silver hexafluorophosphate yields a bis(fluoro)phosphidovanadium(IV complex [(μ-PF₂)₂V₂Cl₂)(N^tC₄H₉)₂]; as primary intermediate product of the unknown redox reaction a cationic vanadium(V) complex [^tC₄H₉N?VCl₂ · PPh₃]⁺PF₆^? has been isolated. 1 reacts with an excess of diisopropylamine forming ^tC₄H₉N?V(NⁱProp₂)Cl₂ ( 16 ); in addition the following diisopropylamido-tert-butylimidovanadium(V) compounds ^tC₄H₉N?VCp(NⁱProp₂)Cl ( 3 ) and ^tC₄H₉N?V(NⁱProp₂)X₂ (X?CH₂CMe₃, O^tC₄H₉, CH₃COO) has been prepared. All compounds obtained are characterized by ¹H, ⁵¹V, ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis of 16 and 3 indicate a planar coordination sphere of the amido nitrogen atom.

[iPr₂P]₂P? SiMe₃ and [iPr₂P]₂PLi – Synthesis and Reactions Structure of [iPr₂P]₂P? P[PiPr₂]₂ [iPr₂P]₂P? SiMe₃ 1 and [iPr₂P]₂PLi 2 were prepared to investigate the influence of the bulky alkyl groups on formation and properties of the ylides R₂P? P?P(X)R₂ (R = iPr, tBu; X = Br, Me) in reactions of 1 with CBr₄ and of 2 with 1,2-dibromoethane or MeCl, resp. Compared to the iPr groups the tBu groups favour the formation of ylides. With CBr₄ 1 forms iPr₂P? P?P(Br)iPr₂ 5 just as a minor product which decomposes already below ?30°C. With 1,2-dibromoethane 2 yields only traces of 5 but [iPr₂P]P? P[P(iPr)₂]₂ 7 as main product. With MeCl 2 gives iPrP? P?P(Me)iPr₂ 9 and [iPr₂P]₂PMe 10 in a molar ratio of 1:1. 9 is considerably more stable than 5. 7 crystallizes triclinic in the space group P1 (No. 2) with a = 10.813 Å, b = 11.967 Å, c = 15.362 Å, α = 67.90°, β = 71.36°, γ = 64.11° and two formula units in the unit cell.     

Reactivity of di-n-butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium towards amido stabilized stannylenes

Reaction of Sn[(N(C₆H₃iPr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]₂ and [{Sn(N(C₆H₃iPr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)(μ-Cl)₂] with di-n-butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium yielded the trimetallic a carbene-like complex {[(N(C₆H₃iPr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)](n-Bu)Sn}₂Cp₂Zr. The oxidation of {[(N(C₆H₃iPr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)](n-Bu)Sn}₂Cp₂Zr by oxygen gives the five-membered dioxadistannazirconacyclic complex {[(N(C₆H₃iPr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)](n-Bu)Sn}₂O₂Cp₂Zr.     

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.     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 152. Funktionalisierte Cyclotriphosphane des Typs (t-BuP)2PX (X = K,SiMe3, SnMe3, Cl,Br, PCl2, P(t-Bu)Cl,P(t-Bu)I)

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 152. Functionalized Cyclotriphosphanes of the Type (t-BuP)₂PX (X = K, SiMe₃, SnMe₃, Cl, Br, PCl₂, P(t-Bu)Cl, P(t-Bu)I) Functionalized cyclotriphosphanes of the type (t-BuP)₂PX with electropositive or electronegative substituents X have been prepared on various synthetic routes: KP(t-BuP)₂ ( 1 ) can be obtained in 50–55 per cent purity by reacting (t-BuP)₄ or (t-BuP)₃ with potassium. Reaction of 1 with Me₃SiCl or Me₃SnCl leads to the cyclotriphosphanes (t-BuP)₂PSiMe₃ ( 2 ) and (t-BuP)₂PSnMe₃ ( 3 ), respectively; the cyclocondensation of Cl(t-Bu)P? P(t-Bu)Cl with P(SnMe₃)₃, however, is more convenient for the preparation of 3 . In a similar way the halogenated compounds (t-BuP)₂PCl ( 4 ) and (t-BuP)₂PBr ( 5 ) can be obtained from Me₃Sn(t-Bu)P? P(t-Bu)SnMe₃ ( 6 ) and PX₃ (X = Cl, Br). The phosphino-substituted cyclotriphosphanes (t-BuP)₂P? PCl₂ ( 7 ), (t-BuP)₂P? P(t-Bu)Cl ( 8 ), and (t-BuP)₂P? P(t-Bu)I ( 9 ) are accessible by the reaction of 3 with PCl₃ and t-BuPX₂ (X = Cl, I), respectively. 2–9 could be obtained free from phosphorus-containing by-products and were ³¹P-NMR spectroscopically characterized as compounds with a cyclic P₃ skeleton.     

General route for the synthesis of terminal phosphanylphosphido complexes of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV): Structural investigations of the first zirconium complex with a phosphanylphosphido ligand

Reactions of R₂P-P(SiMe₃)Li with [Cp₂MCl₂] (M = Zr, Hf) in hydrocarbons yield the related terminal phosphanylphosphido complexes [Cp₂M(Cl){(Me₃Si)P-PR₂-κP¹}] (R = ⁱPr and ^tBu). The solid state structures of [Cp₂M(Cl){P(SiMe₃)-PⁱPr₂-κP¹}] (M = Zr, Hf) were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The phosphido-P atoms adopt almost planar geometries and the phosphanyl P atoms adopt pyramidal geometries. The reaction of a mixture of (Me₃Si)₂PLi and Ph₂P-P(SiMe₃)Li with [CpZrCl₃] in toluene yields the dinuclear complex [Cp₂Zr₂Cl₅(Ph₂PPPSiMe₃)(Li THF DME)].     

Synthese linearer und verzweigter Phosphazene aus N-silylierten Phosphorylamiden

Synthesis of Lineary and Branched Phosphazenes from N-silylated Phosphoryl Amides The use of N-silylated phosphoryl amides in the reaction with PCl₅ favours the KIRSANOV reaction and reduces undesirable substitution reactions. However, silylated monoamides, X₂P(O)NHSiMe₃ (X = OEt, NEt₂), do not give the expected trichlorophosphazenes but the isomeric N-dichlorophosphoryl phosphazenes, Cl₂P(O)? N?PClX₂, which are also formed in the reaction of (EtO)₂P(O)NCl₂ with PCl₅. As the first phosphoryl-P, P-bis(trichlorophosphazene) (EtO)P(O)(N?PCl₃)₂ could be obtained in the reaction of PCl₅ with the silylated diamide (EtO)P(O)(NHSiMe₃)₂. Tris reactivity of silylated amides to P? Cl compounds decreases in the row PCl₅ > POCl₃ > CIP(O)(OEt)₂ > ClP(O)(NEt₂)₂. In the reaction with phosphoryl chlorides the preferred formation of compounds with P? NH? P bridges could not be observed.     

An elimination-addition mechanism for some phosphonamidic chloride-amine reactions

For the reactions of RP(O)(NHBu^t)Cl mth PrⁱNH₂ and Bu^tNH₂ in CH₂Cl₂, relative rates and product ratios suggest an elimination-addition mechanism uith a reactive (monomeric) metaphosphonimidate intermediate.     

Ein Beitrag zur Reaktivität von (η5-C5Me5)(CO)2FeP(SiMe3)2 gegenüber P-Chlormethylenphosphanen

On the Reactivity of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(SiMe₃)₂ Toward P-Chloromethylene phosphanes The reaction of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(SiMe₃)₂ ( 2 ) with three equivalents of Cl? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ ( 3a ) afforded the 3-methanediyl-1,3,5,6-tetraphosphabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? ( 6a ). In contrast, 2 reacts with two equivalents of Cl? P?C(Ph)SiMe₃ ( 3b ) to give the thermolabile (η⁵-C₅Me₅) · (CO)₂Fe? P[P?C(Ph)SiMe₃]₂ ( 4b ) which decomposed during the reaction with further 3b. 4 b was also obtained from (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? P(SiMe₃)? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ ( 1a ) and two equivalents of 3b .     

Zur Bildung der Cyclotetraphosphane cis- und trans-P4(SiMe3)2(CMe3)2 bei der Umsetzung von (Me3C)PCl2 mit LiP(SiMe3)2 · 2 THF

Formation of the Cyclotetraphosphanes cis- und trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ in the Reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF The mechanism of the reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ 1 with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF 2 was investigated. With a mole ration of 1:1 at ?60°C quantitatively (Me₃C)(Cl)P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 3 is formed. This compound eliminates Me₃SiCl on warming to 20°C, yielding Me₃Si? P?P? CMe₃ 4 (can be trapped using 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in a 4+2 cycloaddition), which dimerizes to produce the cyclotetraphosphanes cis-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 5 and trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 . Also with a mole ratio of 1:2 initially 3 is formed which remarkably slower reacts on to give [(Me₃Si)₂P]P₂P? CMe₃ 8 . Remaining LiP(SiMe₃)₂ cleaves one Si? P bond of 8 producing (Me₃)₂P? P(CMe₃)? P(SiMe₃)₂Li. Via a condensation to the pentaphosphide 10 and an elimination of LiP(SiMe₃)₂ from this intermediate, eventually trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 is obtained as the exclusive cyclotetra-phosphane product.
