Synthesis and Structure of 1, 3-Dimethyl-2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilylsulfano)-1,3-diphosphetane At ?30°C methylbis(trimethylsilyl)phosphine reacts with carbon disulfide to give a red adduct first which rearranges to [bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]methylphosphine 1a . In contrast to the thermally stable phenyl derivative 1b [2], this compound with its insufficiently shielded P?C group dimerizes fast with increasing temperature. 1,3-Dimethyl-2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilylsulfano)-1,3-diphosphetane 2a formed by this reaction, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with following dimensions of the unit cell, determined at a temperature of measurement of ?80 ± 3°C: a = 1024.7(3); b = 1360.2(5); c = 1326.3(6)pm; α = 117.85(4); ß = 111.05(3); γ = 72.09(3)°; Z = 2. Due to ring folding at the P1? P2 axis of 149.1°, the molecule shows pseudosymmetry C_s. Characteristic averaged bond lengths and angles obtained at an R_w-value of 0.030, are: P? C(endocyclic) 188 and 191; P? CH₃ 184; C? S 183; S? Si 216 pm; C? P? CH₃ 105; P? C? S 113; S? C? S 114; C? S? Si 108; P? C? P 90 and C? P? C 86°.

Acyl- and Alkylidenearsines. VI. Comparative Studies on the Structures of Bis(2,2-di-methylpropionyl)phenylarsine and -phosphine . Bis(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)phenylarsine 1a [19] and -phosphine 1b [20] prepared from the corresponding bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative and 2,2-dimethylpropionyl chloride, crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at a temperature of measurement of ?70 ± 3°C/?73 ± 3°C: a = 1449.3(7)/1468.3(3); b = 1050.0(5)/985.9(2); c = 1138.5(4)/1159.4(4) pm; β = 108.27(3)/105.61(3)°; Z = 4. X-ray structure determinations (R_w = 0.044/0.044) reveal distances of 205 and 191 pm between the pnicogen and the carbon atom of the carbonyl group which, as in similar trifluoromethyl compounds [2], are definitely elongated with respect to standard values of 194 and 183 pm. Further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: As? C(phenyl) 194; P? C(phenyl) 184; C?O 119/121; C(O)? C 153/154; C(O)? As? C(O) 91; C(O)? P? C(O) 95; As? C? O 120; P? C? O 120; As? C(O)?

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXVI. 2, 4-Bis(phenylimino)-1,3-diphosphetane aus Thiocarbamoyl- und Carbamoyltrimethylsilylphosphanen

Acyl-and Alkylidenephosphines. XXVI. 2, 4-Bis (phenylimino)-1, 3-diphosphetanes from Thiocarbamoyl- and Carbamoyltrimethylsilylphosphines . Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphines R? P[? Si(CH₃)₃]₂ 1 (R = H₃C a, H₅C₆ b, (H₃C)₃C e, H₁₁C₉ d) and phenyl isothiocyanate give insertion compounds which were identified as [CN-phenyl, N-trimethylsilyl)thiocarbamoyl]trimethylsilylphosphines 3 ? 2 in solution as well as in the solid state [2]. In the presence of small amounts of solid sodium hydroxide the phenyl derivative 3 ? 2b eliminates bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfane, whereas the tert-butyl 3 ? 2c and the mesityl compound 3 ? 2d show the same reaction even without a catalyst. The unstable [(phenylimino)methylidene]phosphines 6 formed first, dimerize rapidly to give 2, 4-bis(phenylimino)-1,3-diphosphetanes 7 which in solution exist as mixtures of the E and Z isomers. Via a NaOH-catalyzed elimination of hexamethyldisiloxane these cyclic phosphines 7 can also be obtained from the adducts of phenyl isocyanate and bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphines 1. Taking the thermally sufficiently stable tert-butyl derivative 7 c as an example, the temperature dependence of n.m.r. spectra is discussed in detail.

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXVII. Molecular and Crystal Structure of Methyl-[(N-phenyl, N-trimethylsilyl)thiocarbamoyl]trimethylsilylphosphine . Methyl[(N-phenyl, N-trimethylsilyl)thiocarbamoyl]trimethylsilylphosphine 1a formed via an addition of methylbis(trimethylsilyl)phosphine to phenyl isothiocyanate [1], crystallizes in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space group P2₁/n with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at a temperature of measurement of ?80±3°C: a=1041.2(4);b=1706.9(12);c=1001.1(6)pm; β=106.41(4)°; Z = 4. An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.039) confirms the constitution of the compound as already derived from its nmr spectra. One trimethylsilyl group is bound to the phosphorus atom, whereas the other is connected with the sp²-hybridized nitrogen atom. Characteristic rounded bond lenghts and angles are: P? Si 231, P?

, 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).     

Synthese,Eigenschaften und Struktur von Amin-Addukten der Lithium-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinkate

Synthesis, Properties, and Structure of the Amine Adducts of Lithium Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincates . Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc and the aliphatic amine 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazinane (tmta) yield in n-pentane the 1:1 adduct, the tmta molecule bonds as an unidentate ligand to the zinc atom. Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc · tmta crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with {a = 897.7(3); b = 1 114.4(4); c = 1 627.6(6) pm; α = 90.52(1); β = 103.26(1); γ = 102.09(1)°; Z = 2}. The central C₂ZnN moiety displays a nearly T-shaped configuration with a CZnC angle of 157° and Zn? C bond lengths of 199 pm. The Zn? N distances of 239 pm are remarkably long and resemble the loose coordination of this amine; a nearly complete dissociation of this complex is also observed in benzene. The addition of aliphatic amines such as tmta or tmeda to an equimolar etheral solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)methanide and bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc leads to the formation of the amine adducts of lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate. Lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate · tmeda · 2 Et₂O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with {a = 1 920.2(4); b = 2 243.7(5); c = 2 390.9(5) pm; Z = 8}. In the solid state solvent separated ions are observed; the lithium cation is distorted tetrahedrally surrounded by the two nitrogen atoms of the tmeda ligand and the oxygen atoms of both the diethylether molecules. The zinc atom is trigonal planar coordinated; the long Zn? C bonds with a value of 209 pm can be attributed to the steric and electrostatic repulsion of the three carbanionic bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl substituents.     

Synthese und Molekülstruktur von Barium-bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinat] · DME · THF

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Barium Bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] ° DME ° THF Barium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · thf · dme crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 122.0(2), b = 2 190.7(4), c = 1 840.2(3) pm, β = 98.04(1)° and Z = 4 containing a metal center in a distorted monocapped trigonal prismatic surrounding. The barium dibenzamidinate moiety is sent with an angle of 120°, although this leads to different Ba? N distances of 273 and 282 pm originating from the interligand repulsion of the trimethylsilyl groups and the dme substituent. The 1,3-diazaallyl fragment with C? N bond lengths of 132 pm shows a delocalisation of the anionic charge.

Synthesis, NMR Spectroscopic Characterization and Structure of Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)barium Bis[1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenyl-1-aza-3-phosphapropenide] Barium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide] 1 reacts with two equivalents of benzonitrile to give barium bis[1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-phenyl-1-aza-3-phosphapropenide]; the choice of the solvent determines whether a tris-(tetrahydrofuran)- or a bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane)-complex 2 can be isolated. 2 crystallizes from DME as red cuboids (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 1627.0(3), b = 1836.6(3), c = 1602.5(2) pm; β = 96.071(12)°; V = 4761.7(12); Z = 4; wR₂ = 0.0851). The phosphorus atom displays a pyramidal surrounding in contrast to the planar coordination sphere of the nitrogen atom. In addition a twist within the P? C? N skeleton of the heteroallyl anion is observed.     

Synthese von Magnesium-bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinat] als Bis(THF)- und Benzonitril-Addukt

Synthesis of Magnesium Bis[N,N′ -bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] as both Bis(THF) and Benzonitrile Adduct Magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] 1 , reacts with benzonitrile in toluene at room temperature to yield magnesium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate]-benzonitrile(1/1) 2 . Addition of THF leads to a quantitative substitution of the benzonitrile ligand by two THF molecules. The performance of the addition reaction in THF yields magnesium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · THF(1/2) 3 . The upper benzonitrile complex 2 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with {a = 1383.2(2); b = 2589.1(4); c = 1133.7(1) pm; Z = 4}. The magnesium atom is coordinated distorted trigonal-bipyramidal, where the benzonitrile ligand lies within the equatorial plane. The axial bound nitrogen atom of the benzamidinate substitution shows with a value of 213 pm a slightly longer bond distance to the metal center than the one in the equatorial plane (210 pm). The steric strain within the benzamidinate ligand leads to an elongation of the silicon atoms out of the 1,3-diazaallylic moiety under an enlargement of the C? N? Si angle to 131°.

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. It is best prepared from silylphosphane by twofold lithiation with lithium dimethylphosphanide first and subsequent monosilylation with silyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by complexation. As found by X-ray structure determination (wR = 0.038) on crystals obtained from diethyl ether {monoclinic; space group P2₁/c; a = 897.8(1); b = 1 673.6(2); c = 1 466.8(1) pm; β = 90.73(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}, the lithium cation is tetrahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane molecules. Characteristic parameters of the disilylphosphanide anion are a shortened average P? Si bond length of 217 pm (standard value 225 pm) and a Si? P? Si angle of 92.3°.

Yttrium tris-[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] crystallizes in the space group P3 1c with a = 1 636,3(2), c = 849,3(2) pm, Z = 2. The yttrium atom is surrounded trigonal pyramidal by three nitrogen atoms with Y? N-bond lengths of 222 pm. Benzene molecules are incorporated parallel to the c-axes.

The reaction of yttrium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with benzonitrile yields the bis(benzonitrile) complex, which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 1 173,7(2), b = 1 210,3(2), c = 1 912,4(3) pm, α = 94,37(1), β = 103,39(1), γ = 117,24(1)° and Z = 2.

Synthesis and Structure of Lithium Tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME Lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME 2a synthesized from tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane 1 [6] and methyllithium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane , crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at a temperature of measurement of ?120 ± 2°C: a = 1 072.9(3); b = 1 408.3(4); c = 1 775.1(5) pm; β = 107.74(2)°; 4 formula units (Z = 2). 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.

In different solvents the benzyl compound was found to exist only as a mixture of [N,N′-(E)/(Z)]-isomeric 2,4-bis-(phenylimino)-1,3-diphosphetanes 2a with their alkyl groups at the phosphorus atoms in trans position, whereas in case of the ethyl derivative 2b a second pair of [N,N′-(E)/(Z)]-isomeric dimers with their substituents in cis position and two trimeric forms ( 3b and 4b ) could be detected in cyclopentane. [N,N′-(E)]-1r,3t-dibenzyl- ( 2a ) and [N,N′-(E)]-1r,3t-diethyl-2,4-bis(phenylimino)-1,3-diphosphetane 2b isolated from 1,2-dimethoxyethane or cyclopentane, crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c or P2₁/n, resp., with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at temperatures of measurement of +20 ± 3°C/?130 ± 3°C: a = 2145.4(1)/569.3(1); b = 568.1(2)/719.1(2); c = 1960.2(2)/2042.6(4) pm; β 99.43(1)°/95.03(2)°; Z = (2+2) and 2, resp.

The phosphanide ligands are in trans-positions and the P–Sr–P bond angle is found to be 168.5°. Partial hydrolysis of this compound leads to the formation of bis(dimethylsilylisopropylsilyl)phosphane and Sr₄O[P(SiMePr)₂]₆ with a central oxygen atom surrounded tetrahedrally by four alkaline earth metal atoms (monoclinic, space group C2/c, C2/c, a = 2265.83(6), b = 1702.11(5), c = 2462.46(9) pm, β = 91.34(1)°, Z = 4, wR₂ = 0.1057).

Molecular and Crystal Structure of the dimeric Magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)-amide] The magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] crystallizes as a dimeric molecule in the space group C2/c with {a = 1821.0(4); b = 1494.4(4); c = 1859.6(6) pm; β = 121.10(2)°; Z = 4 dimers}. The cyclic planar Mg₂N₂ moiety shows endocyclic NMgN angles of 95.8°. The bond lengths within this ring system to the four-coordinate, bridging nitrogen atoms N^b are 215 pm, whereas the distances between the magnesium atom and the terminal, three-coordinate nitrogen atom N^t display values of approximately 198 pm. These different coordination numbers of the nitrogen atoms affect the NSi bond length (N^tSi 171, N^bSi 177 pm).     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. IV. Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität des Lithium-[tris-(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanids · DME

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. 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.     

Homo- und heteroleptische Zinkarsanide — Synthese und Struktur

Homo- and Heteroleptic Zinc Arsanides — Syntheses and Structure Bis(trimethylsilyl)arsane reacts with dialkylzinc ZnR₂ (R = Me, Et, CH₂SiMe₃) in the stoichiometric ratio of 1 : 1 in hydrocarbons to the heteroleptic alkyl zink bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanides. The steric demand of the alkyl substituent enforces the oligomerisation degree of two or three. Diethylzinc and two equivalents of HAs(SiMe₃)₂ yield dimeric zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide]. Methyl zinc bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide crystallizes as a trimer with a six-membered Zn₃As₃-cycle in the twist-boat conformation {orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a = 1 015.3(1), b = 1 887.6(4), c = 2 272.9(4) pm, Z = 4}. The molecule of ethyl zinc bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide is built similar in the solid state {monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 1 220.2(4), b = 1 889.0(6), c = 1 968.5(6) pm, β = 90.24(1)°, Z = 4}. However, zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide] separates due to the steric demand of the terminal (Me₃Si)₂As-ligand as a dimer in the triclinic space group P1 {a = 967.8(2), b = 1 088.5(2), c = 1 238.1(2) pm, α = 92.41(1), β = 105.20(1), γ = 105.05(1)°, Z = 2}. The endocyclic zinc-arsenic distances vary only slightly around 248 pm, but the exocyclic one is with a value of 238 pm drastically shorter. The Zn? C bond lengths with values around 197 pm lie in the characteristic region for zinc with the coordination number of three.     

Alkylidinphosphane und -arsane. I [P ≡ C?S]−[Li(dme)3]+ – Synthese und Struktur

Alkylidynephosphanes and -arsanes. I [P ≡ C? S]^?[Li(dme)₃]⁺ – Synthesis and Structure O,O′-Diethyl thiocarbonate and bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, react below 0°C to give ethoxy trimethylsilane and tris(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium 2λ³-phosphaethynylsulfanide – [P≡C? 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? S]^? and [Li(dme)₃]⁺ ions. Typical bond lengths and angles are: P≡C 155.5(11); C? S 162.0(11); Li? O 206.4(17) to 220.3(20) pm; P≡C? S 178.9(7)°.
