Abstract Based on the previously described bifunctional Lewis acid with a functional distance of the boron functions of 4.918(2) Å, the development of a further bifunctional, boron-containing Lewis acid with a wider functional distance is demonstrated. Again, a stannylated precursor was used and the Lewis-acidic boron functions were introduced by means of tin-boron exchange. The general suitability of this class of compounds for the formation of host-guest-complexes is demonstrated by NMR experiments and by solid-state structures using pyridine and TMPD (N 1,N 1,N 4,N 4-tetramethylbenzene-1,4-diamine) as Lewis basic guests. The influence of traces of moisture on the boron-containing, bifunctional Lewis acids was investigated by the structure elucidation of a decomposition product.

Triphenylsilanes are versatile propeller-shaped building blocks and have been used for the syntheses of several novel poly-Lewis-acids. The first solid-state structure of a bisma-silatriptycene as well as investigations in host–guest chemistry of a triple alane with a threefold amine are reported.

Halogen bonding (XB) is often described as being driven predominantly by electrostatics, and thus adducts between <i>anionic</i> XB donors (halogen-based Lewis acids) and anions seem counter­intuitive. Such “anti-electrostatic” XBs have been predicted theoretically, but there are currently no experimental examples based on organic XB donors. Herein, we report the synthesis of two negatively charged organoiodine derivatives, which were subsequently investigated towards their ability to form “anti-electrostatic” XBs with anions. Even though the electrostatic potential is universally negative across the surface of both compounds, DFT calculations indicate kinetic stabilization of their halide complexes in the gas phase and particularly in solution. Experimentally, self-association of the anionic XB donors was observed in solid-state structures, resulting in dimers, trimers and infinite chains. In addition, co-crystals with halides were obtained which featured XB adducts between two or even three anions. The bond-lengths of all observed interactions are 14-21% shorter than sum of the van-der-Waals radii.

Palladium chloride anchored on polystyrene modified by 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline was prepared and used as an efficient recoverable catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The heterogeneous catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused for five cycles without significant Pd leaching and loss of catalytic activity. Rate enhancement in the Suzuki reaction by Lewis acids was also studied.
