  abstract  = {The diorgano(bismuth)alcoholate [Bi((C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)CH\(_{2}\))\(_{2}\)S)OPh] (1-OPh) has been synthesized and fully characterized. Stoichiometric reactions, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and (TD-)DFT calculations suggest its susceptibility to homolytic and heterolytic Bi-O bond cleavage under given reaction conditions. Using the dehydrocoupling of silanes with either TEMPO or phenol as model reactions, the catalytic competency of 1-OPh has been investigated (TEMPO=(tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-oxyl). Different reaction pathways can deliberately be addressed by applying photochemical or thermal reaction conditions and by choosing radical or closed-shell substrates (TEMPO vs. phenol). Applied analytical techniques include NMR, UV/Vis, and EPR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and (TD)-DFT calculations.},

  abstract  = {The dehydrocoupling of primary phosphines with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to yield NHC-phosphinidenes is reported. The reaction of two equivalents of the NHCs Me\(_2\)Im (1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene), Me\(_4\)Im (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazolin-2-ylidene), iPr\(_2\)Im (1,3-di-iso-propylimidazolin-2-ylidene) and Mes\(_2\)Im (2,4,6-trimethylphenylimidazolin-2-ylidene) with PhPH\(_2\) and MesPH\(_2\) led to the NHC stabilized phosphinidenes (NHC)PAr: (iPr\(_2\)Im)PPh (1), (Mes\(_2\)Im)PPh (2), (Me\(_4\)Im)PPh (3), (Mes\(_2\)Im)PMes (4), (Me\(_2\)Im)PMes (5), (Me\(_4\)Im)PMes (6) and (iPr\(_2\)Im)PMes (7). The reaction of tBuPH\(_2\) with two equivalents of the NHCs afforded the corresponding NHC stabilized parent phosphinidenes (NHC)PH: (iPr\(_2\)Im)PH (8), (Mes\(_2\)Im)PH (9) and (Me\(_4\)Im)PH (10). Reaction of 1 with oxygen and sulfur led to isolation of iPr\(_2\)Im-P(O)\(_2\)Ph (11) and iPr\(_2\)Im-P(S)\(_2\)Ph (12), whereas the reaction with elemental selenium and tellurium gave (NHC)PPh cleavage with formation of (iPr\(_2\)Im)Se (13), iPr\(_2\)ImTe (14) and different cyclo-oligophosphines. Furthermore, the complexes [{(iPr\(_2\)Im)PPh}W(CO)\(_5\)] (15), [Co(CO)\(_2\)(NO){(iPr\(_2\)Im)PPh}] (16) and [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)Me\(_2\))Co(η\(^2\)-C\(_2\)H\(_4\)){(iPr\(_2\)Im)PPh}] (17) have been prepared starting from 1 and a suitable transition metal complex precursor. The complexes 16 and 17 decompose in solution upon heating to ca. 80 °C to yield the NHC complexes [Co(iPr\(_2\)Im)(CO)\(_2\)(NO)] and [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)Me\(_5\))Co(iPr\(_2\)Im)(η\(^2\)-C\(_2\)H\(_4\))] with formation of cyclo-oligophosphines. The reaction of 1 with [Ni(COD)\(_2\)] afforded the diphosphene complex [Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(trans-PhP=PPh)] 18.},

These molecular bismuth complexes have been exploited in homogeneous photochemically-induced radical catalysis, using the coupling of silanes with TEMPO as a model reaction (TEMPO=(tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl)-oxyl). Their catalytic properties are complementary or superior to those of known catalysts for these coupling reactions. Catalytically competent intermediates of the reaction have been identified.

  abstract  = {The reactivity of a diruthenium tetrahydride complex towards three selected dihydroboranes was investigated. The use of [DurBH\(_{2}\)] (Dur=2,3,5,6-Me\(_{4}\)C\(_{6}\)H) and [(Me\(_{3}\)Si)\(_{2}\)NBH\(_{2}\)] led to the formation of bridging borylene complexes of the form [(Cp\(^{*}\)RuH)\(_{2}\)BR] (Cp\(^{*}\)=C\(_{5}\)Me\(_{5}\); 1 a: R=Dur; 1 b: R=N(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)) through oxidative addition of the B-H bonds with concomitant hydrogen liberation. Employing the more electron-deficient dihydroborane [3,5-(CF\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{3}\)BH\(_{2}\)] led to the formation of an anionic complex bearing a tetraarylated chain of four boron atoms, namely Li(THF)\(_{4}\)[(Cp\(^{*}\)Ru)\(_{2}\)B\(_{4}\)H\(_{5}\)(3,5-(CF\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)C\(_{6}\)H\(_{3}\))\(_{4}\)] (4), through an unusual, incomplete threefold dehydrocoupling process. A comparative theoretical investigation of the bonding in a simplified model of 4 and the analogous complex nido-[1,2(Cp\(^{*}\)Ru)\(_{2}\)(μ-H)B\(_{4}\)H\(_{9}\)] (I) indicates that there appear to be no classical σ-bonds between the boron atoms in complex I, whereas in the case of 4 the B\(_{4}\) chain better resembles a network of three B-B σ bonds, the central bond being significantly weaker than the other two.},
