Abstract: | In this work, we report the preparation of multiple interpnictogen chain compounds with three consecutive pnictogen atoms and terminal Ar2Bi fragments (Ar=Ph, Mes). Symmetrical compounds of the form Ar2Bi−E(tBu)−Bi2Ar ( 1 : Ar=Ph, E=P; 2 : Ar=Ph, Mes, E=As) as well as ternary interpnictogen compounds of the form Ar2Bi−E1(tBu)−E2tBu2 (Ar=Ph, Mes; 4 : E1=P, E2=As; 5 : E1=P, E2=Sb; 6 : E1=As, E2=P) were prepared. The decomposition in solution at room temperature and under the influence of light was studied for compounds 1 – 6 . The reactivity of 1Ph and 2Ph with the small N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene (Me2IMe) was also studied. In the case of 1Ph , the formation and consecutive decomposition of Me2IMe=PtBu ( 8 ) was observed in solution. Hence, it was shown that 1Ph can react as a “masked phosphinidene”. In the case of 2Ph , no reaction with Me2IMe was observed. All isolated compounds were analysed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. |
