Fluoride abstraction from different types of transition metal fluoride complexes [L\(_n\)MF] (M=Ti, Ni, Cu) by the Lewis acid tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) to yield cationic transition metal complexes with the tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate counterion (FAP anion, [(C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_3\)]\(^-\)) is reported. (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) reacted with trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Ar\(^F\))F] (iPr2Im=1,3-diisopropylimidazolin-2-ylidene; Ar\(^F\)=C\(_6\)F\(_5\), 1 a; 4-CF\(_3\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 b; 4-C\(_6\)F\(_5\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 c) through fluoride transfer to form the complex salts trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(solv)(Ar\(^F\))]FAP (2 a-c[solv]; solv=Et\(_2\)O, CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\), THF) depending on the reaction medium. In the presence of stronger Lewis bases such as carbenes or PPh\(_3\), solvent coordination was suppressed and the complexes trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(PPh\(_3\))(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (trans-2 a[PPh\(_3\)]) and cis-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Dipp\(_2\)Im)(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (cis-2 a[Dipp\(_2\)Im]) (Dipp\(_2\)Im=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) were isolated. Fluoride abstraction from [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)CuF] (3) in CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\) or 1,2-difluorobenzene led to the isolation of [{(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu}\(_2\)]\(^2\)\(^+\)2 FAP\(^-\) (4). Subsequent reaction of 4 with PPh\(_3\) and different carbenes resulted in the complexes [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(LB)]FAP (5 a–e, LB=Lewis base). In the presence of C6Me6, fluoride transfer afforded [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(C\(_6\)Me\(_6\))]FAP (5 f), which serves as a source of [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu)]\(^+\). Fluoride abstraction of [Cp\(_2\)TiF\(_2\)] (7) resulted in the formation of dinuclear [FCp\(_2\)Ti(μ-F)TiCp\(_2\)F]FAP (8) (Cp=η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\)) with one terminal fluoride ligand at each titanium atom and an additional bridging fluoride ligand.
Novel dyes were prepared by simple “click CuAAC” attachment of a triarylborane–alkyne to the azide side chain of an amino acid yielding triarylborane dye 1 which was conjugated with pyrene (dye 2) forming a triarylborane–pyrene FRET pair. In contrast to previous cationic triarylboranes, the novel neutral dyes interact only with proteins, while their affinity to DNA/RNA is completely abolished. Both the reference triarylborane amino acid and triarylborane–pyrene conjugate bind to BSA and the hDPP III enzyme with high affinities, exhibiting a strong (up to 100-fold) fluorescence increase, whereby the triarylborane–pyrene conjugate additionally retained FRET upon binding to the protein. Furthermore, the triarylborane dyes, upon binding to the hDPP III enzyme, did not impair its enzymatic activity under a wide range of experimental conditions, thus being the first non-covalent fluorimetric markers for hDPP III, also applicable during enzymatic reactions with hDPP III substrates.
A series of methylene-bridged bis(triarylboranes) has been synthesized via two complementary routes using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation under mild conditions. The title compounds comprise two borane moieties that show effective internal π-conjugation involving the respective boron centers and the adjacent hetaryl groups. Conjugation between both borane units, however, is disrupted by the aliphatic linker. Cyclic voltammetry revealed minimal electronic communication between the boron centers, as evidenced by two closely spaced reduction processes. The UV-vis spectra showed bathochromic shifted absorption bands compared to related monoboranes, which is attributed to the methylene bridge. A further red-shift results upon introduction of methyl or SiMe\(_3\) groups at the terminal thiophene rings.
A General Synthetic Route to NHC‐Phosphinidenes: NHC‐mediated Dehydrogenation of Primary Phosphines
(2021)
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.
A systematic study on Lewis-acid/base adducts of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene cAAC\(^{Me}\) (1-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) with antimony(III) chlorides of the general formula SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl, Ph, Mes) is presented. The reaction of the NHCs Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3-di-isopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), Mes\(_{2}\)Im, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (R\(_{2}\)Im=1,3-di-organyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene; Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, Dipp=2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) with antimony(III) compounds SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (1), Ph (2) and Mes (3)) yields the adducts NHC ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4), Ph (5) and Mes (6); NHC=Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (a), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (b), Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (c) and Mes\(_{2}\)Im (d)) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4 e) and Ph (5 e)). Thermal treatment of (Dipp\(_{2}\)Im) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Ph (5 c) and Mes (6 c)) in benzene leads to isomerization to the backbone coordinated \(^{a}\)NHC-adduct \(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Mes (7) and Ph (8)) (\(^{"a"}\) denotes “abnormal” coordination mode of the NHC) in high yields. One of the chloride substituents at antimony of 7 can be abstracted by GaCl3 or Ag[BF\(_{4}\)] to obtain the imidazolium salts [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][BF\(_{4}\)] (9) and [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][GaCl\(_{4}\)] (10).
The reactions of carbodiimides with the iron arylborylene complex [Fe=BDur(CO)\(_{3}\)(PMe\(_{3}\))] (Dur=2,3,5,6-Me\(_{4}\)C\(_{6}\)H) and the iron bis(borylene) complex [Fe{=BDur}{=BN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)}(CO)\(_{3}\)] yield a wide variety of temperature-dependent products, including known FeBNC and novel FeBNB metallacycles, complexes of N-heterocyclic boracarbene and spiro-boracarbene ligands and a unique 1,3,2,4-diazadiborolyl pianostool complex, characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The product distributions can be rationalized by considering sequences of cycloaddition, metathesis, insertion, and C−H activation pathways mainly governed by sterics.
The synthesis and characterization of Lewis acid/base adducts between tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) and selected N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) R\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-di-organyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) and phosphines are reported. For NHCs with small alkyl substituents at nitrogen (R=Me, nPr, iPr) the adducts NHC ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (2 a–h) were isolated. The reaction with the sterically more demanding NHCs Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-bis-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 i) and tBu\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-di-tert-butyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 j) afforded the aNHC adducts 3 i and 3 j (a denotes “abnormal” NHC coordination via a backbone carbon atom). The use of tBuMeIm (1-tert-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 m) led to partial decomposition of the NHC and formation of the salt [tBuMeIm−H][MeIm ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)] (4 m). The phosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) forms adducts with PMe\(_{3}\) but does not react with PPh\(_{3}\) or PCy\(_{3}\). The mer-cis isomer of literature-known Me\(_{3}\)P ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (5 a) was structurally characterized. Mixtures of the phosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) and the sterically encumbered NHCs tBu\(_{2}\)Im, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im, and Dipp\(_{2}\)Im\(^{H2}\) (1,3-bis-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-imidazolidin-2-ylidene) (1 k) showed properties of FLPs (Frustrated Lewis Pairs) as these mixtures were able to open the ring of THF (tetrahydrofuran) to yield NHC−(CH\(_{2}\))\(_{4}\)O−PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) 6 i–k. Furthermore, the deprotonation of the weak C−H acids CH\(_{3}\)CN, acetone, and ethyl acetate was achieved, which led to the formation of the corresponding imidazolium salts and the phosphates [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(CH\(_{2}\)CN)]\(^{-}\) (7), [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(OC(=CH\(_{2}\))CH\(_{3}\))]\(^{-}\) (8) and [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(CH\(_{2}\)CO\(_{2}\)Et)]\(^{-}\) (9).
We investigate NCl\(_{3}\) and the NCl\(_{2}\) radical by photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The mass selected threshold photoelectron spectrum (ms-TPES) of NCl\(_{3}\) is broad and unstructured due to the large geometry change. An ionization energy of 9.7±0.1 eV is estimated from the spectrum and supported by computations. NCl2 is generated by photolysis at 213 nm from NCl\(_{3}\) and its ms-TPES shows an extended vibrational progression with a 90 meV spacing that is assigned to the symmetric N−Cl stretching mode in the cation. An adiabatic ionization energy of 9.94 ± 0.02 eV is determined.
A number of novel alkynyl-functionalized diarylbis(dimethylamino)diboranes(4) are prepared by salt metathesis, and the appended alkynyl groups are subjected to hydroboration. Their reactions with monohydroboranes lead to discrete boryl-appended diborane(4) species, while dihydroboranes induce their catenation to oligomeric species, the first known examples of well-characterized macromolecular species with B−B bonds. The oligomeric species were found to comprise up to ten repeat units and are soluble in common organic solvents. Some of the oligomeric species have good air stability and all were characterized by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy and size-exclusion chromatography techniques.
