Fluorsilyl- und Fluorboryl-substituierte Cyclotetrasilazane Synthese und Kristallstrukturen

Fluorosilyl and Fluoroboryl Substituted Cyclotetrasilazanes. Synthesis and Crystal Structures Mono- and dilithiated octamethylcyclotetrasilazanes ( 1, 6 ) react with fluorosilanes and F₂BN(SiMe₃)₂, respectively, under retention of the cyclotetrasilazane structure yielding the mono- and disubstituted compounds 2–5 and 7–13 . In the reaction of the dilithium compound 6 with a fluorsilane in equivalent amounts, the bicyclic compounds 14 and 15 are obtained. Crystallographic investigations of the compounds 2, 3, 8 , and 9 indicate that the monosilylated eight-membered ring has a cradle conformation while the disilylated ring has a chair conformation. The X-ray structure of the bicyclic system 14 indicates that the nitrogen atoms of the Si₃N-units have a pyramidal environment.     

Bis(Cyclodisilazan-1-yl)dimethylsilane Synthese und Reaktionen

Bis(cyclodisilazane-1-yl) dimethylsilanes — Synthesis and Reactions The monolithium derivate of trisilazan-1-yl-cyclodisilazane 1 reacts with F₃SiN (SiMe₃)₂ with substitution. The silyl-bridged cyclodisilazanes 3–6 are formed in the reaction of the dilithium derivate of 1 with fluoro- and chlorosilanes. Using lithiumamide and lithiummethanolate a controlled exchange of one fluoro atom of 4 occurs ( 7,8 ). 9 and 10 are formed by hydrolysis of 4 . The aminofunctional compounds 11 und 12 are obtained in the reaction of 5 and 6 with NH₃. The dispirocyclus 13 is formed in the reaction of 8 with tert.-butyllithium. The reaction of dilithiated 1 with 4 gives the spirocyclus 14 . The crystal structure of 14 is discussed.     

Synthese funktioneller Carbonsäure-Silylester

Synthesis of Functional Carboxylic Acid Silylester Di-tert-butylsilandiol reacts with organic acid chlorides to chlorosilanoles R₂Si(OH)Cl 1 (R = t-Bu). The phosphoric acid silylester 2 is obtained from 1 and POCl₃. Lithiated halogenosilanoles react with carboxylic acid chlorides to give silylesters ( 3 – 7 ). Lithium (trimethyl-acetoxy)silanolate 8 is obtained in the reaction of the lithiated diol with the chloride of trimethylacetic acid. The analogous reaction with benzoyl chloride lead to the formation of the bis(benzoic acid) silylester 9 . The condensation product 10 is obtained in the reaktion of the lithiated aminosilanol (t-Bu)₂Si(NH₂)OLi with trimethylacetic acid chlorid and condensation of the formed ester with aminosilanol.     

You cannot fight the pressure: Structural rearrangements of active pharmaceutical ingredients under magic angle spinning

Although solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a versatile analytical tool to study polymorphs and phase transitions of pharmaceutical molecules and products, this work summarizes examples of spontaneous and unexpected (and unwanted) structural rearrangements and phase transitions (amorphous-to-crystalline and crystalline-to-crystalline) under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions, some of them clearly being due to the pressure experienced by the samples. It is widely known that such changes can often be detected by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD); here, the capability of solid-state NMR experiments with a special focus on ¹H-¹³C frequency-switched Lee–Goldburg heteronuclear correlation (FSLG HETCOR)/MAS NMR experiments to detect even subtle changes on a molecular level not observable by conventional 1D NMR experiments or XRPD is presented. Furthermore, it is shown that a polymorphic impurity combined with MAS can induce a crystalline-to-crystalline phase transition. This showcases that solid-state NMR is not always noninvasive and such changes upon MAS should be considered in particular when compounds are studied over longer time spans.     

Lattice Location of 12B in Single-Crystal Ni3Al Studied by β-Radiation Detected NMR

β-radiation detected nuclear magnetic resonance was applied to determine the location of ¹²B probe nuclei in a Ni₃Al single crystal. Combining our results with those of channeling experiments it turned out that more than 90% of the ¹²B ions occupy the octahedral interstitial site with six Ni ions as nearest neighbours.     

Aggregation of donor base stabilized 2-thienyllithium in a single crystal and in solution: distances from X-ray diffraction and the nuclear Overhauser effect

Various 2-thienyllithium derivatives were investigated in the solid state by X-ray diffraction and in solution by 2D NMR experiments. The determined structures of [(Et(2)O)Li(C(4)H(3)S)](4) (1), [(THF)(2)Li(C(4)H(3)S)](2) (2), [(DME)Li(C(4)H(3)S)](2) (3), [(TMEDA)Li(C(4)H(3)S)](2) (4), and [(PMDETA)Li(C(4)H(3)S)] (5) (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane, TMEDA = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylene-1,2-diamine, and PMDETA = N,N,N',N",N"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) were solved in nondonating toluene and provide firm ground for diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy as well as heteronuclear Overhauser enhancement NMR spectroscopy. The distance relation of nuclear Overhauser effects with a factor of r(-6) is employed to gain further insight into the aggregation degree of 1-5 in solution. Comparison of the slope provided by the linear region of the buildup curves and of the ∑r(-6) calculated distances from the crystal structures offers a handle to judge the structure retention versus conversion in solution. The structures of 3-5 are maintained in toluene solution. The data of 2, however, indicate a partial dissociation or a rapid exchange between the vertices of a tetrameric core and free THF molecules. Auxiliary exchange spectroscopy investigations showed that the signals of the nitrogen donor base containing compounds 4 and 5 exchange with the signals of nonlithiated thiophene. This is explained by exchange of the deuterium by a hydrogen atom via lithiation of toluene molecules.     

Photodesorption and photofragmentation of disilane adsorbed on a hydrogen terminated Si(100) surface

The photochemical mechanisms leading to the desorption and fragmentation of Si₂H₆ adsorbed on a hydrogen terminated Si(100) surface have been explored by recording the time-of-flight distributions of products escaping from the surface and by using electron energy loss spectroscopy to probe possible electronic excitations. Photodesorption of intact Si₂H₆ involves hot electrons that lose energy and move to the conduction band edge before initiating desorption. When the wavelength of the incident light is 193 nm, Si₂H₆ fragments give mostly Si, SiH₂, H₂ and SiH₄, but this pathway is quenched at longer wavelengths. This is consistent with direct excitation, but we also show that a negative ion resonance is accessible to substrate electrons that have been excited by 193 nm light.
