Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXIII [1]. Synthese und Struktur der [Bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methyliden]phosphane

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXIII. Synthesis and Structure of [Bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]phosphines Analogous to the phenyl derivative 1a [2] tert-butyl- 1b , mesityl- 1c and methylbis-(trimethylsilyl)phosphine 1 d react with carbon disulfide to give the corresponding [bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]phosphines 4 . Only in case of the mesitylphosphine 1 c the intermediate compounds 2 and 3 could be detected by n.m.r. spectroscopic methods; thermally unstable [bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]methylphosphine 4 d dimerizes rapidly [1]. [Bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]phenylphosphine 4 a crystallizes in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at ?95 ± 3°C: a = 1386.4(8); b = 1036.0(7); c = 1281.7(8) pm; ß = 101.23(4)°; Z = 4. An X-ray structure determination (R = 0.032) proves the constitution of this compound as already derived from its nmr spectra. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: P?C 170; P? C(phenyl) 183; C? S 176; S? Si 219 pm; C? P?C 107; P?C? S 124 and 120; S? C? S 116 and C? S? Si 111°.

Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of Vb Elements. VII. Crystal Structures of Lithium Bis(trimethylsilyl)bismuthide · DME and of Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)dibismuthane as well as Some Comments on the Crystal Structure of Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ditellane Colourless lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)bismuthide · DME

1 1,2-Dimethoxyethan (DME); Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

1 and green, metallic lustrous tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)dibismuthane 2 crystallize isotopic to their antimony homologues [1, 2]. As it is shown by crystal structure determinations { 1 : ?90°C; I 4 2d; a = 1017,3(4); c = 3738,0(26) pm; Z = 8; R _w = 0,065; 2 : + 20°C; P2 ₁ /c; a = 680,9(4); b = 1704,8(13); c = 1197,9 (10) pm; β = 119,46(6)°; Z = 2; R _w = 0,084} both compounds form chains which in the case of bismuthide 1 are built up as screws of alternating bismuth and lithium atoms; bonding further to two trimethylsilyl groups or to the chelating DME ligand both atoms gain coordination number 4 {Li? Bi 292(3); Bi? Si 263.3(14) pm; Bi? Li? Bi 132(1); Li? Bi? Li 148(1); φ(Li? Bi? Li? Bi) 83°}. In the case of dibismuthane 2 the centrosymmetric molecules are strung, their Bi-Bi groups forming nearly linear zigzag chains with shortened intermolecular contact distances {Bi-Bi 303.5(3); Bi …? Bi 380.4(3); Bi? Si 268 pm; Bi? Bi …? Bi 169; Bi? Bi? Si 97.4(5) and 92.0(5)°}. Structure and properties of 2 are compared with those of similar compounds; the crystal structure of brown, green metallic lustrous bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ditellane 5 already published by Ludlow and McCarthy[3] is reinvestigated with respect to very short intermolecular Te…?Te contacts.     

Monomeric and Dimeric (Aminomethylidene)phosphines and -Arsines

Abstract

In (dimethylaminomethylidene)phosphines (1) [1] and -arsines (2) the internal rotation of the dimethylamino group is hindered by a barrier of 50 to 55 kJmol^?1? analogous to the corresponding amidines. In order to evaluate the influence of this conjugative effect upon the P=C and (P)-C-N bond lengths, single crystal x-ray structure determinations of 1a and 2a have been carried out. For comparison, the cyclic (aminomethylidene)phosphine 1H-1,3-benzazaphosphole 5 [2] as well as the dimeric compounds 3a, 3b, and 3c [3] have been analyzed, too, while the arsenic derivative 6 was studied by others [4]. The diarsetanes 4 could not yet be isolated. The structural results indicate the E=C bonds in 1a, 2a, 5, and 6 to be scarcely elongated, the (E)-C-N bonds, however, to be shortened considerably with respect to the dimers.     

A combined transient and steady state approach for robust lifetime spectroscopy with micrometer resolution

We present the combination of two complementary micro‐photoluminescence spectroscopic techniques operating in transient and steady state condition, respectively. Introducing the time domain into the well‐established micro‐photoluminescence mapping approach operating under steady state conditions demonstrates a distinct improvement of the robustness and reliability in the determination of charge carrier lifetime measured with micrometer spatial resolution. Lifetimes from 50 ns to above ms are accessible. We elaborate a calibration procedure and apply the combined all‐photoluminescence setup to high‐performance multicrystalline silicon. A lifetime image obtained from the established photoluminescence imaging technique is reconstructed from the microscopic map by considering lateral diffusion and optical blurring, revealing a more detrimental influence of small angle grain boundaries as well as a higher lifetime within grains as may be deduced from the standard imaging technique.

Derivative discontinuities in time-dependent density-functional theory

Based on the Runge-Gross theorem for ensembles we investigate the influence of particle-number-changes on the exchange-correlation potential in time-dependent density-functional theory. We show that the potential changes discontinuously when the particle number crosses an integer value. Real-time simulations of an atomic ionization process demonstrate that this discontinuity appears naturally in the theory of the time-dependent optimized effective potential. The importance of such a discontinuity for physical processes, even such ones in which the particle number is a constant, is discussed.     

Coherent coupling of a single <Superscript>40</Superscript>Ca<Superscript>+</Superscript> ion to a high-finesse optical cavity

We demonstrate coherent coupling of the quadrupole S_1/2D_5/2 optical transition of a single trapped ⁴⁰Ca⁺ ion to the standing wave field of a high-finesse cavity. The dependence of the coupling on temporal dynamics and spatial variations of the intracavity field is investigated in detail. By precisely controlling the position of the ion in the cavity standing wave field and by selectively exciting vibrational state-changing transitions the ion’s quantized vibration in the trap is deterministically coupled to the cavity mode. We confirm coherent interaction of ion and cavity field by exciting Rabi oscillations with short resonant laser pulses injected into the cavity, which is frequency-stabilized to the atomic transition.

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonan-O2,O5) lithium-methylphosphanid] — eine Verbindung mit meso-Helix-Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵) lithium-methylphosphanide] — a Compound with a meso-Helix Structure Studies of Fritz et al. [10] showed methylphosphane to be lithiated at ?60°C in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether solution by stoichiometric amounts of lithium n-butanide in n-hexane. After removing the hydrocarbons almost completely by distillation and cooling the solutions to ?60°C again, colourless square crystals of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium ( 1 ) and (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵)lithium methylphosphanide ( 2 ) precipitate. As shown by an X-ray structure determination (monoclinic, P2₁/n; a = 805.5(1); b = 1820.6(2); c = 851.5(1) pm; β = 116.76(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; R = 0.034) complex 2 forms a polymer which has the shape of an up to now scarcely noted meso-helix. Four-coordinated lithium is bound to two phosphorus (P? Li 252.9 and 253.2 pm; P? Li? P 131.8°; Li? P? Li 132.1°) and to two oxygen atoms (Li? O 203.9 and 206.8; O …? O 270.7 pm; O? Li? O 82.5°) of the inherently tridentate 2,5,8-trioxanonane ligand. As compared to the standard value (185 pm) the P? C distance (187.4 pm) is slightly lengthened. Structure determinations of (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵,O⁸) lithium 1-(phenylsulfonyl)alkyl compounds published some years ago [26, 27], allow a comparison of molecular parameters characteristic for the twofold or threefold coordinating chelate ligand.

Element-Element Bonds. I. Syntheses and Structure of Tetra(tert-butyl)tetrarsetane and of Tetra(tert-butyl)tetrastibetane Dilithium (tert-butyl)arsenide reacts with (tert-butyl)dichloroarsine to give tetra-(tert-butyl)tetrarsetane 1 ; homologous tetra(tert-butyl)tetrastibetane 2 is formed by reduction of (tert-butyl)dichlorostibane with magnesium. The isotypic compounds 1/2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 4. The dimensions of the unit cells determined at ?45 ± 5°C are: a = 957.4(8)/1 000.2(3); b = 1 399.1(14)/1 423.9(4); c = 1 697.4(9)/1 749.8(7) pm; β = 96.02(6)/96.77(3)°. As shown by low temperature X-ray structure determinations (3 531/3 232 symmetry independent reflections; R_g = 4.0/4.6%) the four membered rings E₄ (E = As or Sb) are folded; in all-trans configuration the bulky organic substituents occupy pseudo-equatorial positions. Characteristic averaged bond distances and angles are: E? E 244/282; E? C 202/221 pm; ? E? E? E 86/85° ? E? E? C 101/99°. The dihedral angels of the bisphenoides built up by the atoms of the rings are found to be 139/133°.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VII. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethan-N,N′]lithium-disilylphosphanid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VII. 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°.
