Abstract: | The NHC supersilyl silver complex Ag(IPr)SitBu3] (IPr = NHCIPr) was prepared by treatment of Ag(IPr)Cl with Na(thf)2SitBu3] in benzene/thf at room temperature. X-ray quality crystals of the NHC supersilyl silver complex Ag(IPr)SitBu3] (monoclinic, space group P21/m) were grown from heptane at room temperature. The 29Si NMR spectrum of a solution of Ag(IPr)SitBu3] in C6D6 revealed two doublets caused by coupling to 107Ag and 109Ag nuclei. We further investigated the possibility of a conversion of triel halides EX3 by treatment with Ag(IPr)SitBu3]. At ambient temperature the reaction of Ag(IPr)SitBu3] with an excess of EX3 yielded tBu3SiEX2 (E = B, Al; X = Cl, Br; E = Ga; X = Cl) and IPr · EX3 (EX3 = BCl3, BBr3, AlCl3, AlBr3, GaCl3). The identity of tBu3SiEX2 and IPr · EX3 was confirmed by comparison with authentic samples. |
