Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 (2) decomposes slowly at room temperature with formation of Me4Si. In order to understand the mechanism of this elimination process, Lu(CH2SiMe3)3([D8]-THF)2 (1), Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)(DME) (3), and Lu(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)(diglyme) (4) were prepared. The results of 1H NMR spectroscopic studies of the decomposition in solution exclude an α- as well as a β -H elimination mechanism and point towards a γ -H elimination. The molecular structure of 4 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

This report presents the results of a study on the preparation of iron alkoxide complexes chelated by diiminopyridine ligands and their role in the room temperature polymerization of rac-lactide. Reaction of N,N′-(p-R-C6H4CH2)2-diiminopyridines (R = H (1), F (2)) with FeX2 (X = Cl, Br) yielded the homoleptic complexes [(1)2Fe][FeX4] or [(2)2Fe][FeX4], respectively. Treating the latter with Na[BPh4] afforded the anion exchange product [(2)2Fe][BPh4]2, which was characterized by 1H NMR and absorption spectroscopy, combustion analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Various attempts to grow crystals of [(1)2Fe][FeX4] and [(2)2Fe][FeX4] culminated in the isolation of single crystals of [(2)2Fe][Cl6Fe2O] that was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Attempted synthesis of well-defined, mononuclear alkoxide derivatives from [(1)2Fe]2+ or [(2)2Fe]2+ gave mostly intractable products, but in one case we obtained the crystallographically characterized sodium iron cluster Na4Fe2(OC6H4F)8(THF)2. An aryloxide derivative proved accessible by reaction of NaOC6H4F with the mono-ligand precursor LFeCl2 (L = N,N′-dimesityl-diiminopyridine), but characterization of LFe(OC6H4F)2 was limited to a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, owing to unsuccessful attempts at isolating pure samples. The difficulties encountered in the isolation of pure alkoxide derivatives prompted us to use in-situ generated LFe(OEt)2 for studying the polymerization of rac-lactide. This system was found to be moderately active at room temperature and with a slight preference for the formation of a heterotactic polymer (Pr = 0.54–0.65). Large polydispersities of 1.5–2.0 indicated the presence of transesterification side-reactions, which were confirmed by the presence of peaks with m/z = n 144 + M(EtOH) + M(Na+) and m/z = (n + 0.5) 144 + M(EtOH) + M(Na+) in MALDI-MS.

Racemic trans-2-(9(H)-fluoren-9-yl)cyclohexanol, C13H9-cyclo-C6H10-OH (1), reacts with two equivalents of potassium naphthalenide in THF to give the dipotassium salt [C13H8-cyclo-C6H10-O]- K2(THF) (2). Recrystallization of 2 from pyridine affords the solvent free salt [C13H8-cyclo-C6H10- O]K2 (3). The reactions of LaI3(THF)4 with one equivalent of 2 or of YbI2(THF)2 with equimolar amounts of 2 produce the alkoxolanthanum diiodide (C13H9-cyclo-C6H10-O)LaI2(DME)2 (4) and the ytterbium dialkoxide (C13H9-cyclo-C6H10-O)2Yb(THF)0.5(5), respectively. [(Me3Si)2N]3Y reacts with three equivalents of 1 with elimination of hexamethyldisilazane and formation of the yttrium trialkoxide (C13H9-cyclo-C6H10-O)3Y (6). The compounds 2 to 5 were characterized by elemental analyses, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectra. The molecular structure of 4 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract Tris(dimethylamino)borane, X-ray The crystal and molecular structure of tris(dimethylamino)borane, a liquid at room temperature, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at - 116°C. The single-crystal growth was accomplished by means of a miniature zone melting process on the diffractometer. The structure data are compared with those of other aminoboranes.

AbstractAs part of our efforts to develop rhenium-oxo corroles as photosensitizers for oxygen sensing and photodynamic therapy, we investigated the potential β-perhalogenation of five ReO meso-tris(para-X-phenyl)corroles, Re[TpXPC](O) (X = CF3, H, F, CH3, and OCH3), with elemental chlorine and bromine. With Cl2, β-octachlorinated products Re[Cl8TpXPC](O) were rapidly obtained for X = CF3, H, and CH3, but X = OCH3 resulted in overchlorination on the meso-aryl groups. Full β-octabromination proved slower relative to Cu and Ir corroles, but the desired Re[Br8TpXPC](O) products were finally obtained for X = H and F after a week at room temperature. For X = CH3 and OCH3, these conditions led to undecabrominated products Re[Br11TpXPC](O). Compared to the β-unsubstituted starting materials, the β-octahalogenated products were found to exhibit sharp 1H NMR signals at room temperature, indicating that the aryl groups are locked in place by the β-halogens, and substantially redshifted Soret and Q bands. Single-crystal X-ray structures of Re[Cl8TpCF3PC](O), Re[Cl8TpCH3PC](O), and Re[Br8TpFPC](O) revealed mild saddling for one Cl8 structure and the Br8 structure. These structural variations, however, appear too insignificant to explain the slowness of the β-octabromination protocols, which seems best attributed to the deactivating influence of the high-valent Re center.

Bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 (n = 0, 1) were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding carboranyl acyl chlorides with ethylenediamine. Crystal molecular structure of 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C-1,2-C2B10H11)2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Treatment of bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 with ammonium or cesium fluoride results in partial deboronation of the ortho-carborane cages to the nido-carborane ones with formation of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2−. The attempted reaction of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)CCH2-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2− with GdCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxy- ethane did not give the expected metallacarborane. The stability of different conformations of Gd-containing metallacarboranes has been estimated by quantum-chemical calculations using [3,3-μ-DME-3,3′-Gd(1,2-C2B9H11)2]− as a model. It was found that in the most stable conformation the CH groups of the dicarbollide ligands are in anti,anti-orientation with respect to the DME ligand, while any rotation of the dicarbollide ligand reduces the stability of the system. This makes it possible to rationalize the design of carborane ligands for the synthesis of gadolinium metallacarboranes on their base.

By reacting [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P4)] (1) with in situ generated phosphenium ions [Ph2P][A] ([A]− = [OTf]− = [O3SCF3]−, [PF6]−), a mixture of two main products of the composition [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P5(C6H5)2)][PF6] (2a and 3a) could be identified by extensive 31P NMR spectroscopic studies at 193 K. Compound 3a was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the rarely observed bicyclo[2.1.0]pentaphosphapentane unit. At room temperature, the novel compound [{Cp‴Fe}(µ,η4:1-P5Ph2){Cp‴(CO)2Fe}][PF6] (4) is formed by decarbonylation. Reacting 1 with in situ generated diphenyl arsenium ions gives short-lived intermediates at 193 K which disproportionate at room temperature into tetraphenyldiarsine and [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}4(µ4,η1:1:1:1-P8)][OTf]2 (5) containing a tetracyclo[3.3.0.02,7.03,6]octaphosphaoctane ligand.

The structure of the compound obtained on heating the naturally occurring clerodane furanoditerpene (1) had been formulated as (2) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the dihydro derivative of (2) has confirmed this and provides support for the stereochemistry previously assigned to (1) on the basis of chemical evidence.

Abstract Triethylborane, BEt3, can act as a 1,2-hydroborating reagent towards alkyn-1-ylsilanes, depending on the nature of the silane. A mechanism is proposed invoking hydrogen transfer from the β -carbon of one ethyl group, quite different from the 1,2-hydroboration mechanism using tri-n-propylborane, BnPr3. The structure of the products has been confirmed by comparison with that obtained using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 9-BBN, as a well established 1,2-hydroborating reagent. All products have been characterized by a consistent set of NMR data (1H, 11B, 13C and 29Si NMR). The molecular structure of (Z)-1-dichlorosilyl-1-[9-(9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl)]-2-phenylethene has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
