Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IX. Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Phosphanide, Arsanide, and Chloride – Three New Representatives of the Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Bromide Type Experiments to obtain thermally unstable lithium silylphosphanide at –60 °C from a 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution resulted in the isolation of its dismutation product bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 1 ). The homologous arsanide 2 precipitated after a frozen solution of arsane in the same solvent had been treated with lithium n-butanide at –78 °C. Unexpectedly, too, the analogous chloride 3 and bromide 4 were formed in reactions of 1-chloro-2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1λ³-phosphaethene with (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)stibanide and of lithium 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1λ³-phosphol-3-ide with ω-bromostyrene, respectively. The monomeric complexes 1 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1391.1(4); b = 809.8(2); c = 1249.1(3) pm; β = 102.84(2)°}, 2 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1398.3(4); b = 819.8(3); c = 1258.5(4) pm; β = 103.35(2)°} and 3 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1308.4(2); b = 788.2(1); c = 1195.6(1) pm; β = 95.35(1)°} crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four solvated ion pairs in the unit cell; they are isotypic with bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bromide ( 4 ) {–73 ± 2 °C; a = 1319.0(2); b = 794.1(1); c = 1214.3(2) pm; β = 96.22(1)°}, already studied by Rogers et al. [13] at room temperature. The neutral complexes show a trigonal bipyramidal configuration of symmetry C₂, pnicogenanide or halide anions occupying equatorial sites {Li–P 260.4(4); Li–As 269.8(6); Li–Cl 238.6(7); Li–Br 256.3(10) pm} and the chelate ligands spanning equatorial and axial positions {Li–O_eq 205.4(4) to 207.4(4); Li–O_ax 208.9(3) to 215.5(2) pm}. The coordination within the (dme)₂Li fragment, the Li–X distances (X = P, As, Cl, Br), the structure of the chelate rings, and the packing of the neutral complexes are discussed in detail.

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VI. Lithium and (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium Cyanotrimethylsilylamide — Syntheses and Structures At different temperatures N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide ( 1 ) and lithium methanide react either under addition or substitution. When compound 1 , however, is treated at ?40°C with an equimolar amount of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 2 ) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, only exchange of one trimethylsilyl group versus lithium is observed and in addition to phosphane and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane a very pure lithium derivative insoluble in n-pentane can be isolated. The vibrational spectra prove the compound to be lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ). Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran (+40/+20°C) yields (tetrahydrofuran)lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ′). As shown by an X-ray structure analysis {C2/c; a = 2 261.1(5); b = 1 106.4(2); c = 1 045.9(2) pm; β = 113.63(1)°; Z = 8 formula units}, compound 3 ′ is polymeric in the solid state. Coordinative Li? N2′ bonds allow a head-to-tail addition of two monomeric units each to give an eight-membered heterocycle with two linear N1? C2≡N2 fragments (N1? C2 126.1; C2≡N2 117.5; N1? Si 171.4; Li? N1 203.2; Li? N2′ 206.1 pm; C2? N1? Li 109.0; N1? Li? N2′ 115.9; N2≡C2? N1 177.2°). Forming planar four-membered Li? N2? Li? N2 rings (Li? N2″″ 198.3 pm; Li′? N2? Li″ 80.3; N2′? Li? N2″″ 99.5°) these heterocycles polymerize to slightly folded tapes.

S]^? [Li(dme)₃]⁺ – ( 1a ). Apart from bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfane or carbon oxide sulfide, dark red concentrated solutions of λ³-phosphaalkyne 1 are also obtained from reactions of carbon disulfide with bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide or with the homologous lithoxy-methylidynephosphane ( 2 ) [1]. The ir spectrum shows two absorptions at 1762 and 747 cm^?1 characteristic for the P≡C and C? S stretching vibrations. The nmr parameters {δ(³¹P) ? 121.3; δ(¹³C) 190.8 ppm; ¹J_CP 18.2 Hz} resemble much more values of diorganylamino-2λ³-phosphaalkynes than those of bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxy-methylidyne-phosphane ( 2a ). As found by an X-ray structure analysis (P2₁/c; a = 1192.6(16); b = 1239.1(19); c = 1414.8(26) pm; β = 105.91(13)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; wR = 0.064) of pale yellow crystals (mp. + 16°C) isolated from the reaction with O,O′-diethyl thiocarbonate, the solid is built up of separate [P≡C?

, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnn {a = 881.1(9); b = 1308.5(9); c = 1563.4(9) pm at ?120 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}, lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME 2 [10] prepared from phosphine and lithium- n -butanide in the same solvent, in P2 ₁ 2 ₁ 2 ₁ {a = 671.8(1); b = 878.6(1); c = 1332.2(2) pm at ?120 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}. X-ray structure determinations (R _w = 0.036/0.045) show the bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative 1 to be dimeric with a planar P? Li? P? Li ring (P? Li 256 pm; Li? P? Li 76°; P? Li? P 104°), and the dihydrogenphosphide 2 to be polymeric with a linear Li? P? Li fragment (P? Li 254 to 260 pm; Li? P? Li 177°; P? Li? P 118°). The shortened P? Si distance (221 pm) of compound 1 and the structure of the PH ₂ group in 2 are discussed in detail. Lithium obtains its preferred coordination number 4 by a chelation with one molecule of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (Li? O 202 to 204 pm).     

Molekül- und Kristallstruktur des 1,4-Bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran)lithium]-octaphenyltetrasilans

Molecular and Crystal Structure of 1,4-Bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran)lithium]-octaphenyltetrasilane 1,4-Dilithium-octaphenyltetrasilane prepared from octaphenyl-cyclo-tetrasilane and lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) [4], can be isolated from tetrahydrofuran/n-pentane as an adduct with six molecules of tetrahydrofuran per formula unit. The orange-red compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 {a = 1159.6(3); b = 1268.4(2); c = 1367.8(3) pm; α = 92,23(2)° β = 113.79(2)° γ = 111.62(2)° at ?5 ± 3°C; Z = 1}. An x-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.046) shows the existence of a centrosymmetric molecule with an extended planar Li? Si₄? Li unit; either lithium atom is bound to silicon and to the oxygen atoms of three molecules of tetrahydrofuran. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: Li? Si 271; Si? Si 241 and 243; Si? C 190 to 192 pm; Li? Si? Si 126°; Si? Si? Si 127°. ²⁹Si and ⁷Li n.m.r. measurements at low temperatures indicate the presence of three different adducts.     

Alkylidinphosphane und -arsane. II. Über die Oxydation des Lithoxy-methylidinphosphans PC?O?Li mit Schwefeldioxid und Iod

Alkylidynephosphanes and -arsanes. II. Oxydation of Lithoxy-methylidynephosphane P?C? O? Li with Sulphur Dioxide and Iodine At ?50°C bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxymethylidynephosphane P?C? O? Li(dme)₂^1,2) ( 1 a ) [2] reacts almost quantitatively with sulphur dioxide or iodine in 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution to give bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)bis(tetrahydrofuran-O)(μ-1,2,4-triphospholo[1,2-a]-1,2,4-triphosphol-1,3,5,7-tetraonato(2?)-O¹,O⁷:O³,O⁵)dilithium ( 2 a ) and lithium dithionite or iodide respectively. From the reaction with sulphur dioxide the crystalline, pale yellow compound is obtained in 40% yield. The formation of the unusual anionic heterocycle, built up of four PCO units, may be explained by an oxydation of two [P?C? O]^? species first, followed by a nucleophilic attack of two other [P?C? O]^? anions and coupled ?intramolecular”? cycloaddition reactions. In the ³¹P{¹H} nmr spectrum two phosphorus atoms each of coordination number two and three give rise to two triplets with chemical shift values of 81.4 and 36.9 ppm and a ²J(PP) coupling constant of 31.7 Hz; the ¹³C{¹H} resonances of the [(PCO)₄]^2? anion come from an ABMM′X spin system, the X part being discussed in detail. An X-ray structure determination {Cmcm; a = 1 277.14(11); b = 1 487.7(2); c = 1 556.94(11) pm at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 molecules; R₁ = 0.061; wR₂ = 0.150} shows compound 2 a to crystallize as a neutral complex of symmetry mm2. The anionic part of the molecule consists of two anellated 1,2-dihydro-5-oxo-1,2,4-triphosphol-3-olate rings which share the central P? P unit (P1? P1′ 215.3; P1–C1 189.1; C1 P2 178.4; C1 O1 123.9pm; C1? P1? P1′ 98.4; Cl? P1? C1″ 91.2; C1 P2 C1′ 98.7°). Thus compound 2a may be assigned to the group of P? P heterocycles with a butterfly structure [71–75] as well as to the well-known diacylphosphanides taking into account, however, the unusual E,E configuration of both O?C? P?C? O^? units. The lithium cations are square pyramidally coordinate (Li? O 193.5 to 209.1 pm), each additionally binding an 1,2-dimethoxyethane and a tetrahydrofuran molecule.

IV Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Lithium [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME Lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME [3] and tellurium react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give colourless lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME ( 1 ). An X-ray structure determination {-150 · 3·C; P2₁/c; a = 1346.6(4); b = 1497.0(4); c = 1274.5(3) pm; β = 99.22(2)·; Z = 2 dimers; R = 0.030} shows the compound to be dimeric forming a planar Li? Te? Li? Te ring with two tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents in a trans position. Three-coordinate tellurium is bound to the central silicon of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group and to two lithium atoms; the two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium are occupied by the chelate ligand DME {Li? Te 278 and 284; Si? Te 250; Li? O 200 pm (2X); Te? Li? Te 105°; Li? Te? Li 75°; O? Li? O 84°}. The covalent radius of 154 pm as determined for the DME-complexed lithium in tellanide 1 is within the range of 155 ± 3 pm, also characteristic for similar compounds. In typical reactions of the tellanide 1 [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 2 ), methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 4 ) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane ( 5 ) are formed.

An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.040) shows the compound to be built up from two [lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide] moieties which are connected via a bridging DME molecule. Two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium atom are occupied by a chelating DME ligand. The Li? Si distance of 263 pm is considerably longer than the sum of covalent radii; further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: Si? Si 234, Li? O 200, O? C 144, O?O (biß) 264 pm; Si? Si? Si 104°, Li? Si? Si 107° to 126°; O? Li? O (inside the chelate ring) 83°. Unfortunately, di(tert-butyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane 17 prepared from di(tert-butyl)dichlorsilane 15 , chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium, does not react with alkyllithium compounds to give the analogous silanide.

Treatment of these two compounds with 85% tetrafluoroboric acid. diethylether adduct yields di-cyclo-hexoyl- ( 1b ) and diadamant-1-oylphosphine ( 1c ). In nmr spectroscopic studies 1b over a range of 203 to 343 K, a strong temperature dependence of the keto-enol equilibrium is found; thermodynamic data characteristic for the formation of the enol tautomer (ΔH⁰ = ?4.3 kJ. mol^?1; ΔS⁰ = ?9.2 J. mol^?1.

An X- ray structure analysis (R_w = 0.033) shows bond lengths and angles to be almost identical within the enolic system (P? C 179/180; C? O 130/129; C? C(adamant-1-yl) 152/153 pm; C? P? C 99°; P? C?

Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium Disilylphosphanide — Synthesis and Structure Crystalline lithium phosphanides studied so far show a remarkably high diversity of structure types dependent on the ligands at lithium and the substituents at phosphorus. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium disilylphosphanide ( 1 ) discussed here, belongs to the up to now small group of compounds which are ionic in the solid state.

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXXIII. Lithoxy-methylidenphosphan · DME und -methylidinphosphan · 2 DME — Synthese und Struktur

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines.

Since lithium complexed by the chelate ligand DME is bound to the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group, the compound has to be considered as lithoxy-methylidenephosphine · DME ( 1 ). According to x-ray structure analyses of crystalline derivatives [5, 6], molecules of this type dimerize forming a four membered Li O Li O ring. Characteristic nmr-data show the presence of an E- and Z-isomer (δ¹ H  P: 3.87 and 4.49; ¹ J _HP: 150.8 and 136.5; δ¹ H  C: 11.4 and 10.05; ² J _HP: 6.1 and 81.2; ³ J _HH: 6.6 and 13.9; δ³¹ P : 38.6 and 8.8; δ¹³ C P: 225.0 and 215.4 ppm; ¹ J _CP: 41.2 and 65.0 cps); in 1,2-dimethoxyethane an E : Z ratio of 1.86 : 1 is found. In a similar reaction of lithium bis (trimethylsilyl)phosphide · 1.6 THF(¹) with excess dimethyl carbonate lithoxy-methylidynephosphine · 2DME ( 2 ) is formed via an up to now poorly understood mechanism.

An x-ray structure analysis (R_w = 0.052) gives a P C distance of 155.5 pm which is typical for a triple bond. The C O bond length of 119.8 pm, however, is extremely short compared to the standard value of a single bond (139 pm).

P?P(Br)tBu₂ 3 A new method for the synthesis of 1 and 2 (Formulae see ?Inhaltsübersicht”?) is reported based on the reaction of 5 with substitution reagents (Me₂SO₄ or CH₃Cl). The results of the X-ray structure determination of 1 and 2 are given and compared with those of 3 . While in 3 one P? P distance corresponds to a double bond and the other P? P distance to a single bond (difference 12.5 pm) the differences of the P? P distances in 1 and 2 are much smaller: 5.28 pm in 1 , 4.68 pm in 2 . Both 1 and 2 crystallize monoclinic in the space group P2₁/n (Z = 4). 2 additionally contains two disordered molecules of the solvent pentane in the unit cell. Parameters of 1 : a = 884.32(8) pm, b = 1 924.67(25) pm, c = 1 277.07(13) pm, β = 100.816(8)°, and of 2 : a = 1 101.93(12) pm, b = 1 712.46(18) pm, c = 1 395.81(12) pm, β = 111.159(7)°, all data collected at 143 K. The skeleton of the three P atoms is bent (PPP angle 100.95° for 1 , 100.29° for 2 and 105.77° for 3 ). Ab initio SCF calculations are used to discuss the bonding situation in the molecular skeleton of the three P atoms of 1 and 3 . The results show a significant contribution of the ionic structure R₂P? P(^?)? P(⁺)(X)R₂. The structure with (partially) charged P atoms is stabilized by bulky polarizable groups R (as tBu) as compared to the fully covalent structure R₂P? P(X)? PR₂.     

High Lithium Ionic Conductivity in the Lithium Halide Hydrates Li3‐n(OHn)Cl (0.83≤n≤2) and Li3‐n(OHn)Br (1≤n≤2) at Ambient Temperatures

Lithium ionic conductivity and phase transitions in a series of lithium halides hydrates and hydroxides with general formula Li_3‐n(OH_n)X (0.83≤n≤2; X=Cl,Br) were studied using impedance measurements and ¹H and ⁷Li NMR spectroscopy. All compounds studied in this work crystallize in the antiperovskite structure or are closely related to this structure type. With the exception of LiCl?H₂O, all compounds with integer lithium content exhibit good lithium ionic conductivity in their high temperature cubic phases above T=33 °C. Lithium doping of samples LiX?H₂O and Li₂(OH)X leads to a suppression of the phase transition into the noncubic phases and the good ionic conductivity is extended down to lower temperatures (T<0 °C). Thus, lithium doping of the lithium halide hydrates provides a promising tool for tailoring the ionic conductivity at ambient temperatures to its optimum value.

Contributions on the Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. IX. Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cr₆(P₂O₇)₄. A Pyrophosphate Containing Di- and Trivalent Chromium Cr₆(P₂O₇)₄ (Cr₂²⁺Cr₄³⁺(P₂O₇)₄) can be obtained reducing CrPO₄ by phosphorus (950°C, 48 h, 100 mg iodine as mineralizer). By means of chemical transport reactions (transport agent iodine; 1050 → 950°C) the compound has been separated from its neighbour phases (Cr₂P₂O₇, CrP₃O₉) and crystallized (greenish, transparent crystals; edge length up to 0.3 mm). The crystal structure of Cr₆(P₂O₇)₄ (Spcgrp.: P-1; z = 1; a = 4.7128(8) Å, b = 12.667(3) Å, c = 7.843(2) Å, α = 89.65(2)°, β = 92.02(2)°, γ = 90.37(2) has been solved and refined from single crystal data (2713 unique reflections, 194 parameter, R = 0.035). Cr²⁺ is surrounded by six oxygen atoms which occupy the corners of an elongated octahedron (4 × d^{Cr? O} ≈? 2.04 Å; 2 × d^{Cr? O} ≈? 2.62 Å). The Cr³⁺ ions are also coordinated octahedraly (1.930 Å ≤ d_{Cr? O} ≤ 2.061 Å). The crystallographically independent pyrophosphate groups show nearly eclipsed conformation. The bridging angles (P? O? P) are 136.5° and 138.9° respectively.
