In Fortführung der bisher in dieser Forschungsgruppe durchgeführten Studien mit (2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl)silanen wurden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit weitere Untersuchungen zu den Schutzgruppen-Eigenschaften der Si-(2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl)-Gruppe angestellt und anschließend die hierbei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse verwendet, um Sila-Analoga bereits bekannter biologisch aktiver Verbindungen über neue Synthesewege mit (2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl)silanen darzustellen. Des Weiteren wurden im Rahmen der Untersuchungen zur C/Si-Bioisosterie die pharmakologischen Eigenschaften dieser bereits auf anderem Weg synthetisierten Wirkstoffe in Kooperation mit anderen Forschungsgruppen vervollständigt. Darüber hinaus wurden auch die Arbeiten zum Thema „(2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl)silane als Silylierungsreagenzien für O-Nucleophile“ weitergeführt.
Die Synthese der (2-Aminoethyl)cycloalkylphenylsilanole Sb (Sila-Trihexyphenidyl), 6b (SilaCycrimin), 7 b (Sila-Procyclidin) und Sb wird beschrieben. Sb- Sb wurden - ausgehend von Cl\(_2\)(C\(_6\)H\(_5\))SiCH = CH\(_2\) (9) - durch eine fünfstufige Reaktionsfolge mit einer Gesamtausbeute von 32- 40% erhalten. Am isolierten Ileum des Meerschweinchens wurden die C/Si-Paare Sa, b- 8a, b vergleichend auf ihre antimuskarinische Aktivität geprüft. Die durch die Sila-Substilution von Sa-8a erreichte Zunahme der Affinität zum Muskarinrezeptor ist deutlich weniger ausgeprägt als bei den strukturverwandten C/Si-Paaren I a, b- 4a, b.

The isolation and structure elucidation of rac-dioncophyllacine A from the leaves of Triphyophyllun peltatum, is described. Unlike all other naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, this fully dehydrogenated representative has an additional methoxy group at C-4, the position of which is deduced from NOE results. Dioncophyllacine A has a 7,1' site of the biaryl axis, as in dioncophylline A. Its constitution is confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis, which shows that the crystalline form of this new alkaloid is racemic.
In the molecular structure of the title compound, C34H58B2N2, each B atom of the diborane(4) is connected to one dimethylamino group and one Tip ligand (Tip = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl). These findings indicate that the increased steric demand of the Tip groups exerts influence solely on the B—B separation but not on the overall geometry of the title compound.
The 1,3-bis(tricyanoborane)imidazolate anion 1 was obtained in high yield from lithium imidazolate and B(CN)\(_3\)−pyridine adduct. Anion 1 is chemically very robust and thus allowed the isolation of the corresponding H\(_5\)O\(_2\)\(^+\) salt. Furthermore, monoanion 1 served as starting species for the novel dianionic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), 1,3-bis(tricyanoborane)imidazoline-2-ylidenate anion 3 that acts as ditopic ligand via the carbene center and the cyano groups at boron. First reactions of this new NHC 3 with methyl iodide, elemental selenium, and [Ni(CO)\(_4\)] led to the methylated imidazolate ion 4, the dianionic selenium adduct 5, and the dianionic nickel tricarbonyl complex 6. These NHC derivatives provide a first insight into the electronic and steric properties of the dianionic NHC 3. Especially the combination of properties, such as double negative charge, different coordination sites, large buried volume and good σ-donor and π-acceptor ability, make NHC 3 a unique and promising ligand and building block.
Chapter 1
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials provide a strategy to improve external quantum efficiencies of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Because of spin-statistics, 25% singlet and 75% triplet excitons are generated in an electronic device. Conventional organic emitters cannot harvest the triplet excitons, due to low spin orbit coupling, and exhibit low external quantum efficiencies. TADF materials have to be designed in such a way, that the energy gap between the lowest singlet and triplet states (ΔES-T) is sufficiently small to allow reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) in organic systems. An established structure property relationship for the generation of TADF materials is the spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO via an orthogonal arrangement of donor and acceptor in donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) compounds. This is achieved by increasing the steric bulk of the π-bridge. However, this is not always the most efficient method and electronic parameters have to be considered. In a combined experimental and theoretical study, a computational protocol to predict the excited states in D-π-A compounds containing the B(FXyl)2 (FXyl = 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) acceptor group for the design of new TADF emitters is presented. To this end, the effect of different donor and π-bridge moieties on the energy gaps between local and charge-transfer singlet and triplet states was examined. To prove the computationally aided design concept, the D-π-B(FXyl)2 compounds Cbz-π (1), Cbz-Meπ (2), Phox-Meπ (3), Phox-MeOπ (4), and MeO₃Ph-FMeπ (5) were synthesized and fully characterized. The photophysical properties of these compounds in various solvents, polymeric film and in a frozen matrix were investigated in detail and show excellent agreement with the computationally obtained data (Figure 5.1). A simple structure-property relationship based on the molecular fragment orbitals of the donor and the π-bridge which minimize the relevant singlet-triplet gaps to achieve efficient TADF emitters is presented.

Three-coordinate boron is widely used as an acceptor in conjugated materials. In recent years the employment of trifluoromethylated aryls was shown to improve the acceptor properties of such boranes. Astonishingly, the use of ortho-trifluoromethylated aryls in boron containing systems also improves the stability of those systems in regard to their inherent reactivity towards nucleophiles. Borafluorenes are stronger acceptors than their non-annulated triarylborane derivatives. In previous studies, the effect of trifluoromethylated aryls as the exo-aryl moieties in borafluorenes, as well as the effect of fluorination on the backbone, were examined. As the latter suffers from a very low stability, systems using trifluoromethyl groups, both on the exo-aryl as well as the borafluorene backbone were designed in order to maximize both the stability as well as the acceptor strength.
Three different perfluoroalkylated borafluorenes were prepared and their electronic and photophysical properties were investigated. The systems have four trifluoromethyl moieties on the borafluorene moiety as well as two trifluoromethyl groups at the ortho positions of their exo-aryl moieties. They differ with regard to the para-substituents on their exo-aryl moieties, being a proton (FXylFBf), a trifluoromethyl group (FMesFBf) or a dimethylamino group (p NMe2-FXylFBf), respectively. Furthermore, an acetonitrile adduct of FMesFBf was obtained and characterized. All derivatives exhibit extraordinarily low reduction potentials, comparable to those of perylenediimides. The most electron deficient derivative FMesFBf was also chemically reduced and its radical anion isolated and characterized. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of all compounds were investigated. All compounds exhibit weakly allowed lowest energy absorptions and very long fluorescent lifetimes of ca. 250 ns up to 1.6 μs; however, the underlying mechanisms differ. The donor substituted derivative p-NMe2-FXylFBf exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence from a charge transfer (CT) state, while the FMesFBf and FXylFBf borafluorenes exhibit only weakly allowed locally excited (LE) transitions due to their symmetry and low transition dipole moments, as suggested by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

Conjugated dendrimers find wide application in various fields, such as charge transport/storage or emitter materials in organic solar cells or OLEDs. Previous studies on boron containing conjugated dendrimers are scarce and mostly employ a convergent synthesis approach, lacking a simple, generally applicable synthetic access. A new divergent approach was designed and conjugated triarylborane dendrimers were synthesized up to the 2nd generation. The synthetic strategy consists of three steps:
1) functionalization, via iridium catalyzed C–H borylation;
2) activation, via fluorination of the generated boronate ester with K[HF2] or [N(nBu)4][HF2]; and
3) expansion, via reaction of the trifluoroborate salts with aryl Grignard reagents.
The concept was also shown to be viable for a convergent approach. All but one of the conjugated borane dendrimers exhibit multiple, distinct and reversible reduction potentials, making them potentially interesting materials for applications in molecular accumulators (Figure 5.7).
Based on their photophysical properties, the 1st generation dendrimers exhibit good conjugation over the whole system. The conjugation does not further increase upon expansion to the 2nd generation, but the molar extinction coefficients increase linearly with the number of triarylborane sub-units, suggesting a potential application as photonic antennas.
Chapter 4
A surprisingly high electronically-driven regioselectivity for the iridium-catalyzed C–H borylation using [Ir(COD)OMe]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) as the precatalytic species, bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as the boron source and 4,4’-ditertbutyl-2,2’-bipyridin (dtbpy) as the ligand of D-π-A systems with diphenylamino (1) or carbazolyl (2) moieties as the donor, bis(2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)boryl (B(FXyl)2) as the acceptor, and 1,4-phenylene as the π-bridge was observed. Under these conditions, borylation was observed only at the sterically least encumbered para-positions of the acceptor groups. As boronate esters are versatile building blocks for organic synthesis (C–C coupling, functional group transformations), the C–H borylation represents a simple potential method for post-functionalization by which electronic or other properties of D-π-A systems can be fine-tuned for specific applications. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the borylated (1-(Bpin)2) and unborylated (1) diphenylamino-substituted D-π-A systems were investigated. Interestingly, the borylated derivative exhibits coordination of THF to the boronate ester moieties, influencing the photophysical properties and exemplifying the non-innocence of boronate esters.
2,2′-Bipyridyl is shown to spontaneously abstract a borylene fragment (R–B:) from various hypovalent boron compounds. This process is a redox reaction in which the bipyridine is reduced and becomes a dianionic substituent bound to boron through its two nitrogen atoms. Various transition metal–borylene complexes and diboranes, as a well as a diborene, take part in this reaction. In the latter case, our results show an intriguing example of the homolytic cleavage of a B═B double bond.
Two N-methylpyridinium compounds and analogous N-protonated salts of 2- and 2,7-substituted 4-pyridyl-pyrene compounds were synthesised and their crystal structures, photophysical properties both in solution and in the solid state, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties were studied. Upon methylation or protonation, the emission maxima are significantly bathochromically shifted compared to the neutral compounds, although the absorption maxima remain almost unchanged. As a result, the cationic compounds show very large apparent Stokes shifts of up to 7200 cm\(^{-1}\). The N-methylpyridinium compounds have a single reduction at ca. −1.5 V vs. Fc/Fc\(^+\) in MeCN. While the reduction process was reversible for the 2,7-disubstituted compound, it was irreversible for the mono-substituted one. Experimental findings are complemented by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Furthermore, the N-methylpyridinium compounds show strong interactions with calf thymus (ct)-DNA, presumably by intercalation, which paves the way for further applications of these multi-functional compounds as potential DNA-bioactive agents.
The 2,2,5,5-tetraorganyl-1,4-dioxa-2,5-disilacyclohexanes 2a-2c were prepared by condensation of the corresponding (hydroxymethyl)diorganylsilanes 1 a-1 c. The constitution of the heterocycles was confirmed by elemental analyses, cryoscopic measurements, mass spectrometry, and NMR-spectroscopic \((^1H, ^{13}C)\) investigations. The molecular structure of 2 b was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
Das Sila-Dimetacrin (3a), ein Sila-Analogon des Psychopharmakons Dimetacrin (2), und sein N,N-Diethylderivat 3 b sowie sein 3-Chlorderivat 3 c wurden, von den o-Halogenanilinen 4 a- c ausgehend, über die teilweise unbekannten Stufen 5 a- c bis 10a- d synthetisiert, in ihren Eigenschaften beschrieben und in ihrer Struktur über Elementaranalysen, \(^1\)H-NMR- und Massenspektren sichergestellt. Die Synthese des Zwischenproduktes Bis(2-bromphenyl)amin (9a) konnte optimiert werden.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird über die Synthese, Struktur und katalytische Aktivität von borverbrückten Gruppe 4 Metallocenophanen berichtet, die als Katalysatoren in der Ziegler-Natta-artigen Olefinpolymerisation eingesetzt werden können. Neben den bereits bekannten [1]Borametallocenophanen wurden weitere Komplexe mit unterschiedlichen Substituenten, als auch die bislang unbekannten [2]Borametallocenophane synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Vergleichende Polymerisationsstudien einer Reihe von unterschiedlich substituierten [n]Borametallocenophanen (n = 1,2) wurden unter definierten Standardbedingungen durchgeführt, um einen möglichen Einfluss der am Boratom gebundenen Substituenten zu beobachten. Weitergehende Untersuchungen bezogen sich auf den Einfluss dieser Substituenten auf sterische und elektronische Einflüsse, die mit den Polymerisationsergebnissen korreliert wurden. Hierbei wurden die sterischen Einflüsse der verschiedenen Substituenten anhand der Kristallstrukturen festgemacht; elektronische Einflüsse sollten anhand von CO Schwingungen, die mittels Infrarotspektroskopie beobachtet werden können, von korrespondierenden Carbonylkomplexen und alternativ mittels 91Zr-NMR Spektroskopie untersucht werden.
We present herein an in‐depth study of complexes in which a molecule containing a boron‐boron triple bond is bound to tellurate cations. The analysis allows the description of these salts as true π complexes between the B−B triple bond and the tellurium center. These complexes thus extend the well‐known Dewar‐Chatt‐Duncanson model of bonding to compounds made up solely of p block elements. Structural, spectroscopic and computational evidence is offered to argue that a set of recently reported heterocycles consisting of phenyltellurium cations complexed to diborynes bear all the hallmarks of \(\pi\)‐complexes in the \(\pi\)‐complex/metallacycle continuum envisioned by Joseph Chatt. Described as such, these compounds are unique in representing the extreme of a metal‐free continuum with conventional unsaturated three‐membered rings (cyclopropenes, azirenes, borirenes) occupying the opposite end.
A cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) has been shown to react with a covalent azide similar to the Staudinger reaction. The reaction of \(^{Me}\)CAAC with trimethylsilyl azide afforded the N‐silylated 2‐iminopyrrolidine (\(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\)), which was fully characterized. This compound undergoes hydrolysis to afford the 2‐iminopyrrolidine and trimethylsiloxane which co‐crystallize as a hydrogen‐bonded adduct. The N‐silylated 2‐iminopyrrolidine was used to transfer the novel pyrrolidine‐2‐iminato ligand onto both main‐group and transition‐metal centers. The reaction of the tetrabromodiborane bis(dimethyl sulfide) adduct with two equivalents of \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\) afforded the disubstituted diborane. The reaction of \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\) with TiCl\(_{4}\) and CpTiCl\(_{3}\) afforded \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NTiCl\(_{3}\) and \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NTiCl\(_{2}\)Cp, respectively.
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.
The reduction of a cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized organoberyllium chloride yields the first neutral beryllium radical, which was characterized by EPR, IR, UV/Vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. DFT calculations show significant spin density at beryllium and confirm donor–acceptor bonding between an alkylberyllium radical fragment and a neutral CAAC ligand.
A water‐soluble tetracationic quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane chromophore showed strong binding to ds‐DNA, ds‐RNA, ss‐RNA, as well as to the naturally most abundant protein, BSA. The novel dye can distinguish between DNA/RNA and BSA by fluorescence emission separated by Δv =3600 cm\(^{-1}\), allowing for the simultaneous quantification of DNA/RNA and protein (BSA) in a mixture. The applicability of such fluorimetric differentiation in vitro was demonstrated, strongly supporting a protein‐like target as a dominant binding site of 1 in cells. Moreover, our dye also bound strongly to ss‐RNA, with the unusual rod‐like structure of the dye, decorated by four positive charges at its termini and having a hydrophobic core, acting as a spindle for wrapping A, C and U ss‐RNAs, but not poly G, the latter preserving its secondary structure. To the best of our knowledge, such unmatched, multifaceted binding activity of a small molecule toward DNA, RNA, and proteins and the selectivity of its fluorimetric and chirooptic response makes the quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane a novel chromophore/fluorophore moiety for biochemical applications.
The Fischer carbene synthesis, involving the conversion of a transition metal (TM)-bound CO ligand to a carbene ligand of the form [=C(OR’)R] (R, R’ = organyl groups), is one of the seminal reactions in the history of organometallic chemistry. Carbonyl complexes of p-block elements, of the form [E(CO)n] (E = main-group fragment), are much less abundant than their TM cousins; this scarcity and the general instability of low-valent p-block species means that replicating the historical reactions of TM carbonyls is often very difficult. Here we present a step-for-step replica of the Fischer carbene synthesis at a borylene carbonyl involving nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon followed by electrophilic quenching at the resultant acylate oxygen atom. These reactions provide borylene acylates and alkoxy-/silyloxy-substituted alkylideneboranes, main-group analogues of the archetypal transition metal acylate and Fischer carbene families, respectively. When either the incoming electrophile or the boron center has a modest steric profile, the electrophile instead attacks at the boron atom, leading to carbene-stabilized acylboranes – boron analogues of the well-known transition metal acyl complexes. These results constitute faithful main-group replicas of a number of historical organometallic processes and pave the way to further advances in the field of main-group metallomimetics.
Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) inorganic analogue of 9,10-diazido-9,10-dihydrodiboraantracene, which turned out to be a monomer in both the solid and solution state, and thermally stable up to 230 °C, representing a rare example of azido borane with boosted Lewis acidity and stability in one. Apart from the classical acid-base and Staudinger reactions, E−H bond activation (E=B, Si, Ge) was investigated. While the reaction with B−H (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) led directly to the 1,1-addition on N\(_{α}\) upon N\(_{2}\) elimination, the Si−H (Et\(_{3}\)SiH, PhMe\(_{2}\)SiH) activation proceeded stepwise via 1,2-addition, with the key intermediates 5\(_{int}\) and 6\(_{int}\) being isolated and characterized. In contrast, the cooperative Ge−H was reversible and stayed at the 1,2-addition step.
A convenient route for the synthesis of the cAAC\(^{Me}\) (cAAC=cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, cAAC\(^{Me}\)=1-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) and cAAC\(^{Cy}\) (cAAC\(^{Cy}\)=2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-ylidene) stabilized stibinidenes cAAC\(^{Me}\)⋅SbMes (2a) (Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and cAAC\(^{Cy}\)⋅SbMes (2b) is reported. A mechanism for the formation of [cAAC\(^{R}\)Cl][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] 1 and cAAC\(^{R}\)⋅SbMes 2 from the reaction of cAAC with the antimony(III) precursor SbCl\(_{2}\)Mes, which proceeds via the isolable intermediate [cAAC\(^{R}\)SbClMes][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] (3), is proposed.
Efficient quadrupolar chromophores (A–pi–A) with triarylborane moieties as acceptors have been studied by the Marder group regarding their non‐linear optical properties and two‐photon absorption ability for many years. Within the present work, this class of dyes found applications in live‐cell imaging. Therefore, the dyes need to be water‐soluble and water‐stable in diluted aqueous solutions, which was examined in Chapter 2. Furthermore, the influence of the pi‐bridge on absorption and emission maxima, fluorescence quantum yields and especially the two-photon absorption properties of the chromophores was investigated in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, a different strategy for the design of efficient two‐photon excited fluorescence imaging dyes was explored using dipoles (D–A) and octupoles (DA3). Finding the optimum balance between water‐stability and pi‐conjugation and, therefore, red‐shifted absorption and emission and high fluorescence quantum yields, was investigated in Chapter 5
The desymmetrization of the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene-supported diboracumulene, B\(_2\)(cAAC\(^{Me}\))\(_2\) (cAAC\(^{Me}\) = 1- (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) by mono-adduct formation with IMe\(^{Me}\) (1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) yields the zerovalent sp-sp\(^2\) diboron compound B\(_2\)(cAAC\(^{Me}\))\(_2\)(IMe\(^{Me}\)), which provides a versatile platform for the synthesis of novel symmetrical and unsymmetrical zerovalent sp\(^2\)-sp\(^2\) diboron compounds by adduct formation with IMe\(^{Me}\) and CO, respectively. Furthermore, B\(_2\)(cAAC\(^{Me}\))\(_2\)(IMe\(^{Me}\)) displays enhanced reactivity compared to its symmetrical precursor, undergoing spontaneous intramolecular C-H activation and facile twofold hydrogenation, the latter resulting in B-B bond cleavage and the formation of the mixed-base parent borylene, (cAAC\(^{Me}\))(IMe\(^{Me}\))BH.
Activation of Ge−H and Sn−H Bonds with N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes and a Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene
(2023)
A study of the reactivity of several N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene 1‐(2,6‐di‐iso‐propylphenyl)‐3,3,5,5‐tetramethyl‐pyrrolidin‐2‐ylidene (cAAC\(^{Me}\)) with the group 14 hydrides GeH2Mes2 and SnH2Me2 (Me=CH\(_{3}\), Mes=1,3,5‐(CH\(_{3}\))\(_{3}\)C\(_{6}\)H\(_{2}\)) is presented. The reaction of GeH\(_{2}\)Mes\(_{2}\) with cAAC\(^{Me}\) led to the insertion of cAAC\(^{Me}\) into one Ge−H bond to give cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−GeHMes\(_{2}\) (1). If 1,3,4,5‐tetramethyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)) was used as the carbene, NHC‐mediated dehydrogenative coupling occurred, which led to the NHC‐stabilized germylene Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)⋅GeMes\(_{2}\) (2). The reaction of SnH\(_{2}\)Me\(_{2}\) with cAAC\(^{Me}\) also afforded the insertion product cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−SnHMe\(_{2}\) (3), and reaction of two equivalents Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) with SnH\(_{2}\)Me\(_{2}\) gave the NHC‐stabilized stannylene Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)⋅SnMe\(_{2}\) (4). If the sterically more demanding NHCs Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\), 1,3‐di‐isopropyl‐4,5‐dimethyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)) and 1,3‐bis‐(2,6‐di‐isopropylphenyl)‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (Dipp\(_{2}\)Im) were employed, selective formation of cyclic oligomers (SnMe\(_{2}\))\(_{n}\) (5; n=5–8) in high yield was observed. These cyclic oligomers were also obtained from the controlled decomposition of cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−SnHMe\(_{2}\) (3).

Adducts of the parent boraphosphaketene H\(_2\)BPCO and their decarbonylative insertion chemistry
(2021)
The first examples of Lewis base adducts of the parent boraphosphaketene (H\(_2\)B-PCO) and their cyclodimers are prepared. One of these adducts is shown to undergo mild decarbonylation and phosphinidene insertion into a B−C bond of a borole, forming very rare examples of 1,2-phosphaborinines, B/P isosteres of benzene. The strong donor properties of these 1,2-phosphaborinines are confirmed by the synthesis of their π complexes with the Group 6 metals.
Die ersten Beispiele für Lewis-Basen-Addukte des Stammboraphosphaketens H\(_{2}\)B-PCO und ihre cyclischen Dimere wurden hergestellt. Eines dieser Addukte zeigt unter milden Bedingungen eine Decarbonylierung und anschließende Insertion des Phosphinidens in die B-C-Bindung eines Borols, was in der Bildung sehr seltener Beispiele für 1,2-Phosphaborinine, B,P-Isostere von Benzol, resultiert. Die starken Donoreigenschaften dieser 1,2-Phosphaborinine wurden durch die Synthese ihrer π-Komplexe mit Metallen der Gruppe 6 bestätigt.
In an attempt to assess the structural requirements of hexahydro-sila-difenidol for potency and selectivity, a series of analogues modified in the amino group and the phenyl ring were investigated for their affinity to muscarinic M1- (rabbit vas deferens), Mr (guinea-pig atria) and Mr (guinea-pig ileum) receptors. All compounds were competitive antagonists in the three tissues. Their affinities to the three muscarinic receptor subtypes differed by more than two orders of magnitude and the observed receptor selectivities were not associated with high affinity. The pyrrolidino and hexamethyleneimino analogues, compounds substituted in the phenylring with a methoxy group or a chlorine atom as weil as p-fluoro-hexahydro-difenidol displayed the same affinity profile as the parent compound, hexahydro-sila-difenidol: M1 = M3 > M2 • A different selectivity patternwas observed for p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol: M3 > M1 > M2 • This compound exhibited its highest affinity for M3-receptors in guinea-pig ileum (pA 2 = 7.84), intermediate affinity for M1-receptors in rabbit vas deferens (pA 2 = 6.68) and lowest affinity for the Mrreceptors in guinea-pig atria (pA 2 = 6.01). This receptor selectivity profile of p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol was confirmed in ganglia (M1), atria (M2 ) and ileum (M 3 ) of the rat. Furthermore, dose ratios obtained with either pirenzepine (Mt) or hexahydrosila- difenidol (M2 and M3) and the p-fluoro analogue used in combination suggested that the antagonism was additive, implying mutual competition with a single population of muscarinic receptor subtypes. These results indicate that p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol represents a valuable tool for characterization of muscarinic receptor subtypes.
Designing highly efficient purely organic phosphors at room temperature remains a challenge because of fast non-radiative processes and slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rates. The majority of them emit only single component phosphorescence. Herein, we have prepared 3 isomers (o, m, p-bromophenyl)-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boranes. Among the 3 isomers (o-, m- and p-BrTAB) synthesized, the ortho-one is the only one which shows dual phosphorescence, with a short lifetime of 0.8 ms and a long lifetime of 234 ms in the crystalline state at room temperature. Based on theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis of o-BrTAB, the short lifetime component is ascribed to the T\(^M_1\) state of the monomer which emits the higher energy phosphorescence. The long-lived, lower energy phosphorescence emission is attributed to the T\(^A_1\) state of an aggregate, with multiple intermolecular interactions existing in crystalline o-BrTAB inhibiting nonradiative decay and stabilizing the triplet states efficiently.

Amber Light Control of Peptide Secondary Structure by a Perfluoroaromatic Azobenzene Photoswitch
(2023)
The incorporation of photoswitches into the molecular structure of peptides and proteins enables their dynamic photocontrol in complex biological systems. Here, a perfluorinated azobenzene derivative triggered by amber light was site‐specifically conjugated to cysteines in a helical peptide by perfluoroarylation chemistry. In response to the photoisomerization (trans→cis) of the conjugated azobenzene with amber light, the secondary structure of the peptide was modulated from a disorganized into an amphiphilic helical structure.
Aminotroponiminate (ATI) ligands are a versatile class of redox-active and potentially cooperative ligands with a rich coordination chemistry that have consequently found a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. While backbone substitution of these ligands has been investigated in some detail, the impact of electron-withdrawing groups on the coordination chemistry and reactivity of ATIs has been little investigated. We report here Li, Na, and K salts of an ATI ligand with a nitro-substituent in the backbone. It is demonstrated that the NO2 group actively contributes to the coordination chemistry of these complexes, effectively competing with the N,N-binding pocket as a coordination site. This results in an unprecedented E/Z isomerisation of an ATI imino group and culminates in the isolation of the first “naked” (i. e., without directional bonding to a metal atom) ATI anion. Reactions of sodium ATIs with silver(I) and tritylium salts gave the first N,N-coordinated silver ATI complexes and unprecedented backbone substitution reactions. Analytical techniques applied in this work include multinuclear (VT-)NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and DFT calculations.
To understand basic principles about the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter is often a challenge in chemical education due to the difficult theoretical background of this topic. The present contribution therefore offers an experimental based introduction into the basic principles of UV/Vis spectroscopy following a three-step strategy. The starting point is to construct a simple self-built spectrometer working within the visible range of light. Learners can explore the most important components of such a device and understand their functions without previous knowledge. In a second step, emission spectra of different common light sources are investigated and compared. Finally, spectroscopic experiments are suggested for chemical education such as the qualitative detection of cations and the quantitative analysis of the dye carmine in food. This context-based introduction links chemical applications with the everyday life. It can be presumed that this way, learners are provided an easier access to radiation-matter interaction.
Using a new divergent approach, conjugated triarylborane dendrimers were synthesized up to the 2nd generation. The synthetic strategy consists of three steps: 1) functionalization, via iridium catalyzed C−H borylation; 2) activation, via fluorination of the generated boronate ester with K[HF\(_{2}\)] or [N(nBu\(_{4}\))][HF\(_{2}\)]; and 3) expansion, via reaction of the trifluoroborate salts with aryl Grignard reagents. The concept was also shown to be viable for a convergent approach. All but one of the conjugated borane dendrimers exhibit multiple, distinct and reversible reduction potentials, making them potentially interesting materials for applications in molecular accumulators. Based on their photophysical properties, the 1st generation dendrimers exhibit good conjugation over the whole system. However, the conjugation does not increase further upon expansion to the 2nd generation, but the molar extinction coefficients increase linearly with the number of triarylborane subunits, suggesting a potential application as photonic antennas.
A one-pot synthesis of a CAAC-stabilized, unsymmetrical, cyclic diborene was achieved via consecutive two-electron reduction steps from an adduct of CAAC and B\(_2\)Br\(_4\)(SMe\(_2\))\(_2\). Theoretical studies revealed that this diborene has a considerably smaller HOMO–LUMO gap than those of reported NHC- and phosphine-supported diborenes. Complexation of the diborene with [AuCl(PCy\(_3\))] afforded two diborene–Au\(^I\) π complexes, while reaction with DurBH\(_2\), P\(_4\) and a terminal acetylene led to the cleavage of B−H, P−P, and C−C π bonds, respectively. Thermal rearrangement of the diborene gave an electron-rich cyclic alkylideneborane, which readily coordinated to Ag\(^I\) via its B=C double bond.
Anionic Adducts
Sp2-sp3 tetraalkoxy diboron compounds have gained attention due to the development of new, synthetically useful catalytic reactions either with or without transition-metals. Lewis-base adducts of the diboron(4) compounds were suggested as possible intermediates in Cu catalyzed borylation reactions some time ago. However, intermolecular adducts of tetraalkoxy diboron compounds have not been studied yet in great detail. In preliminary studies, we have synthesized a series of anionic sp2-sp3 adducts of B2pin2 with alkoxy-groups (L = [OMe]–, [OtBu]–), a phenoxy-group (L = [4-tBuC6H4O]–) and fluoride (L = [F]–, with [nBu4N]+ as the counter ion) as Lewis-bases.
Neutral Adducts
Since their isolation and characterization, applications of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and related molecules, e.g., cyclic alkylaminocarbenes (CAACs) and acyclic diaminocarbenes (aDCs), have grown rapidly. Their use as ligands in homogeneous catalysis and directly in organocatalysis, including recently developed borylation reactions, is now well established. Recently, several examples of ring expansion reactions (RER) involving NHCs were reported to take place at elevated temperatures, involving Be, B, and Si.
Furthermore, preliminary studies in the group of Marder et al. showed the presence of neutral sp2-sp3 diboron compounds with B2pin2 and the NHC Cy2Im. In this work, we focused on the synthesis and characterization of further neutral sp2-sp3 as well as sp3-sp3 diboron adducts with B2cat2 and B2neop2 and different NHCs. Whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable for several hours at temperatures up to 60 °C, the bis-NHC adducts undergo thermally induced rearrangement to form the ring expanded products compound 26 and 27. B2neop2 is much more reactive than B2cat2 giving ring expanded product 29 at room temperature in quantitative yields, demonstrating that NHC ring expansion and B–B bond cleavage can be very facile processes.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konnten im Ersten Teil durch Anwendung verschiedener Synthesestrategien neuartige ansa-Halbsandwichkomplexe der sechsten, achten und zehnten Gruppe der Übergangsmetalle synthetisiert und umfassend charakterisiert werden. Die dargestellten Verbindungen wurden in Reaktivitätsstudien auf ihr Verhalten gegenüber Chalkogenen, sowie gegenüber niedervalenten späten Übergangsmetallkomplexen untersucht. Weiterhin wurden die erhalten Komplexe auf ihrer Eignung als mögliche Vorstufen für metallhaltige Polymere hin untersucht. Dabei wurden verschiedene Polymerisationsmethoden wie thermische, katalytische oder anionische induzierte Ringöffnungsreaktion eingesetzt und die erhaltenen Polymere mit Hilfe der Gelpermeations-Chromatographie auf ihr Molekulargewicht bzw. auf ihre Polydisperisität hin untersucht.
Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit konnten verschiedene neuartige Basenaddukte von Tetrabromdiboran(4) dargestellt und charakterisiert werden. Durch schrittweise Reduktion gelang die Synthese basenstabilisierter neutraler Diborene auf einer bisher unbekannten Syntheseroute. Durch die erschöpfende Reduktion von [B2Br4(IDip)2] konnte erstmals ein basenstabilisiertes Diborin außerhalb einer inerten Edelgasmatrix isoliert und charakterisiert werden. Zum Verständnis der Bindungssituation sowie der Konstitution in Lösung und Festkörper wurden umfangreiche physikochemische und theoretische Studien angefertigt. Die erhaltenen Daten belegen die Synthese von [B2(IDip)2] mit einer Bindungsordnung von drei entlang der zentralen B2-Einheit. Es wurden umfangreiche Reaktivitätsstudien gegenüber verschiedenen Substraten durchgeführt. Die Umsetzung von [B2(IDip)2] mit CO lieferte ein basenstabilisiertes Bis-boralacton, bei dessen Bildung eine gänzlich unbekannte CO-Verknüpfungsreaktion auftritt, welche für Hauptgruppenelementverbindungen bisher nicht beobachtet werden konnte. Im Zuge mechanistischer Studien gelang der Nachweis eines Reaktionsintermediates. Weiterhin zeigt das Diborin [B2(IDip)2] (140) eine interessante Koordinationschemie gegenüber Kupfer(I)-Verbindungen. Dabei gelang die Darstellung von tri- und dinuklearen Kupfer(I)-Komplexen von [B2(IDip)2]. Diese wurden durch multinukleare NMR-Spektroskopie sowie mit Hilfe der Röntgenstrukturanalyse umfassend charakterisiert.
A variety of muscarinic antagonists are currently used as tools to pharmacologically subclassify muscarinic receptors into M\(_1\), M\(_2\) and M\(_3\) subtypes. ln the present study I we have determined the affinity proflies of several of these antagonists at five cloned human muscarinic receptors (m1-m5) stably expressed in Chinesehamster ovary cells (CHO-K1). At all five receptorsl the (R)-enantiomers of trihexyphenidyl and hexbutinol displayed considerably higher affinities (up to 525-fold) than their corresponding (S)-isomers. The stereoselectivity ratios [inhibition constant( S)/inhibition constant(R)] for both pairs of enantiomers were lowest at m2 receptors, suggesting that less stringent configurational demands are made by this receptor subtype. The "M\(_1\)-selective" antagonist (R)-trihexyphenidyl displayed high affinities for m1 and m4 receptors. The "M\(_2\)-selective" antagonists himbacinel (±}-5, 11-dihydro-11-1[(2-[(dipropylamino)methyl]-1- piperidinyllethyl)amino]carbonyii-6H-pyrido(213-b)(1 ~4)benzodiazepine- 6-one (AF-DX 384)1 11-(14-[4-(diethylamino)butyl)-1-piperidinyll acetyl)-5~ 11-dihydro-6H-pyrido(2~3-b) (1~4)benzodiazepine-6-one (AQ-RA 741) and (+K11-(12-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyll acetyl)-5~ 11-di-hydro-6H-pyrido(2~3-b)(1,4)benzodiazepine-6-one (AF-OX 250; the (+)-enantiomer of AF-DX 116] exhibited high affinities for m2 and m41 intermediate affinities for m1 and m3 and low affinities for m5 receptors. This selectivity profile was most prominent for AQ-RA 7 41 I which displayed 195- and 129-fold higher affinities for m2 and m4 receptors than for mS receptors. The "M\(_3\)-selective" antagonist (±)-p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol hydrochloride (pFHHsiD) exhibited high affinity for m1 I m3 and m4 receptors. 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) bound with up to 7 -fold higher affinities to m1 I m31 m4 and m5 receptors than to m2 receptors. Although none of the tested antagonists showed more than 2-fold selectivity for one subtype over all other subtypes, each receptor displayed a unique antagonist binding profile.
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global concern in human and veterinary medicine, with an ever-increasing void in the arsenal of clinicians. Novel classes of compounds including carbon monoxoide-releasing molecules (CORMs), for example the light-activated metal complex [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br, could be used as alternatives/to supplement traditional antibacterials. Avian pathogenic \(Escherichia\) \(coli\) (APEC) represent a large reservoir of antibiotic resistance and can cause serious clinical disease in poultry, with potential as zoonotic pathogens, due to shared serotypes and virulence factors with human pathogenic \(E.\) \(coli\). The \(in\) \(vitro\) activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br against multidrug-resistant APECs was assessed via broth microtitre dilution assays and synergy testing with colistin performed using checkerboard and time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) antibacterial activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br alone and in combination with colistin was determined using the \(Galleria\) \(mellonella\) wax moth larvae model. Animals were monitored for life/death, melanisation and bacterial numbers enumerated from larval haemolymph. \(In\) \(vitro\) testing produced relatively high [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1024 mg/L. However, its activity was significantly increased with the addition of colistin, bringing MICs down to \(\geq\)32 mg/L. This synergy was confirmed in time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) assays showed that the combination of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br with colistin produced superior bacterial killing and significantly increased larval survival. In both \(in\) \(vitro\) and \(in\) \(vivo\) assays light activation was not required for antibacterial activity. This data supports further evaluation of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br as a potential agent for treatment of systemic infections in humans and animals, when used with permeabilising agents such as colistin.
Aims: We set out to investigate the antibacterial activity of a new Mn-based photoactivated carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (PhotoCORM, [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-kappa\(^3\)N)]\(^+\)) against an antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic strain (EC958) of Escherichia coli. Results: Activated PhotoCORM inhibits growth and decreases viability of E. coli EC958, but non-illuminated carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (CORM) is without effect. NADH-supported respiration rates are significantly decreased by activated PhotoCORM, mimicking the effect of dissolved CO gas. CO from the PhotoCORM binds to intracellular targets, namely respiratory oxidases in strain EC958 and a bacterial globin heterologously expressed in strain K-12. However, unlike previously characterized CORMs, the PhotoCORM is not significantly accumulated in cells, as deduced from the cellular manganese content. Activated PhotoCORM reacts avidly with hydrogen peroxide producing hydroxyl radicals; the observed peroxide-enhanced toxicity of the PhotoCORM is ameliorated by thiourea. The PhotoCORM also potentiates the effect of the antibiotic, doxycycline. Innovation: The present work investigates for the first time the antimicrobial activity of a light-activated PhotoCORM against an antibiotic-resistant pathogen. A comprehensive study of the effects of the PhotoCORM and its derivative molecules upon illumination is performed and mechanisms of toxicity of the activated PhotoCORM are investigated. Conclusion: The PhotoCORM allows a site-specific and time-controlled release of CO in bacterial cultures and has the potential to provide much needed information on the generality of CORM activities in biology. Understanding the mechanism(s) of activated PhotoCORM toxicity will be key in exploring the potential of this and similar compounds as antimicrobial agents, perhaps in combinatorial therapies with other agents.
Fluorinated compounds are an important motif, particularly in pharmaceuticals, as one-third of the top performing drugs have fluorine in their structures. Fluorinated biaryls also have numerous applications in areas such as material science, agriculture, crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, etc. Thus, the development of new synthetic routes to fluorinated chemical compounds is an important area of current research. One promising method is the borylation of suitable precursors to generate fluorinated aryl boronates as versatile building blocks for organic synthesis.
Chapter 1
In this chapter, the latest developments in the synthesis, stability issues, and applications of fluorinated aryl boronates in organic synthesis are reviewed. The catalytic synthesis of fluorinated aryl boronates using different methods, such as C–H, C–F, and C–X (X = Cl, Br, I, OTf) borylations are discussed. Further studies covering instability issues of the fluorinated boronate derivatives, which are accelerated by ortho-fluorine, have been reported, and the applications of these substrates, therefore, need special treatment.
Numerous groups have reported methods to employ highly fluorinated aryl boronates that anticipate the protodeboronation issue; thus, polyfluorinated aryl boronates, especially those containing ortho-fluorine substituents, can be converted into chloride, bromide, iodide, phenol, carboxylic acid, nitro, cyano, methyl esters, and aldehyde analogues. These substrates can be applied in many cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with aryl halides, the Chan-Evans-Lam C–N reaction with aryl amines or nitrosoarenes, C–C(O) reactions with N-(aryl-carbonyloxy)phthalamides or thiol esters (Liebskind-Srogl cross-coupling), and oxidative coupling reactions with terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the difficult reductive elimination from the highly stable complex [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] was the next challenge to be targeted in the homocoupling of 2,6-di-fluoro aryl pinacol boronates, and it has been solved by conducting the reaction in arene solvents that reduce the energy barrier in this step as long as no coordinating solvent or ancillary ligand is employed.
Chapter 2
In this chapter, phenanthroline-ligated copper complexes proved to be efficient catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of highly fluorinated aryl boronate esters (ArF–Bpin) with aryl iodides or bromides. This newly developed method is an attractive alternative to the traditional methods as copper is an Earth-abundant metal, less toxic, and cheaper compared to the traditional methods which commonly required palladium catalysts, and silver oxide that is also often required in stoichiometric amounts. A combination of 10 mol% copper iodide and 10 mol% phenanthroline, with CsF as a base, in DMF, at 130 ˚C, for 18 hours is efficient to cross-couple fluorinated aryl pinacol boronates with aryl iodides to generate cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields. This method is also viable for polyfluorophenyl borate salts such as pentafluorophenyl-BF3K. Notably, employing aryl bromides instead of aryl iodides for the coupling with fluorinated aryl–Bpin compounds is also possible; however, increased amounts of CuI/phenanthroline catalyst is necessary, in a mixture of DMF and toluene (1:1).
A diverse range of π···π stacking interactions is observed in the cross-coupling products partly perfluorinated biaryl crystals. They range from arene–perfluoroarene interactions (2-(perfluorophenyl)naphthalene and 2,3,4-trifluorobiphenyl) to arene–arene (9-perfluorophenyl)anthracene) and perfluoroarene–perfluoroarene (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-2’methylbiphenyl) interactions.
Chapter 3
In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl pinacol pinacol boronates (ArF–Bpin) that contain two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reaction must be conducted in a “noncoordinating” solvent such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene and, notably, stronger coordinating solvents or ancillary ligands have to be avoided. Thus, the Pd center becomes more electron deficient and the reductive elimination becomes more favorable. The Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronate derivatives is difficult in strongly coordinating solvents or in the presence of strong ancillary ligands, as the reaction stops at the [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] stage after the transmetalations without the reductive elimination taking place. It is known that the rate of reductive elimination of Ar–Ar from [ML2(Ar)(Ar)] complexes containing group-10 metals decreases in the order Arrich–Arpoor > Arrich–Arrich > Arpoor–Arpoor. Furthermore, reductive elimination of the most electron-poor diaryls, such as C6F5–C6F5, from [PdL2(C6F5)2] complexes is difficult and has been a challenge for 50 years, due to their high stability as the Pd–Caryl bond is strong. Thus, the Pd-catalyzed homocoupling of perfluoro phenyl boronates is found to be rather difficult.
Further investigation showed that stoichiometric reactions of C6F5Bpin, 2,4,6-trifluorophenyl–Bpin, or 2,6-difluorophenyl–Bpin with palladium acetate in MeCN stops at the double transmetalation step, as demonstrated by the isolation of cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(C6F5)2], cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,4,6-C6F3H2)2], and cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,6-C6F2H3)2] in quantitative yields. Thus, it can be concluded that the reductive elimination from diaryl-palladium complexes containing two ortho-fluorines in both aryl rings, is difficult even in a weakly coordinating solvent such as MeCN. Therefore, even less coordinating solvents are needed to make the Pd center more electron deficient. Reactions using “noncoordinating” arene solvents such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene were conducted and found to be effective for the catalytic homocoupling of 2,6-C6F2+nH3-nBpin. The scope of the reactions was expanded. Using toluene as the solvent, the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of ArF–Bpin derivatives containing one, two or no ortho-fluorines gave the coupled products in excellent yields without any difficulties.
DFT calculations at the B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP/6-311+g(2d,p)/IEFPCM // B3LYP-D3/SDD/6-31g**/IEFPCM level of theory predicted an exergonic process and lower barrier (< 21 kcal/mol) for the reductive elimination of Pd(C6F5)2 complexes bearing arene ligands, compared to stronger coordinating solvents (acetonitrile, THF, SMe2, and PMe3), which have high barriers ( > 33.7 kcal/mol). Reductive elimination from [Pd(ηn-Ar)(C6F5)2] complexes have low barriers due to: (i) ring slippage of the arene ligand as a hapticity change from η6 in the reactant to ηn (n ≤ 3) in the transition state and the product, which led to less σ-repulsion; and (ii) more favorable π-back-bonding from Pd(ArF)2 to the arene fragment in the transition state.
Chapter 4
In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed C–Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reactions are conducted under base-free conditions to prevent the decomposition of the di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronates, which are unstable in the presence of base. A combination of Pd(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) with SPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl) as a ligand is efficient to catalyze the C–Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorine substituents without base, and the products were isolated in excellent yields. The substrate scope can be expanded to aryl chloride containing one or no ortho-fluorines and the borylated products were isolated in good to very good yield. This method provides a nice alternative to traditional methodologies using lithium or Grignard reagents.

The 2‐aryl‐3,4,5,6‐tetraphenyl‐1,2‐azaborinines 1‐EMe\(_{3}\) and 2‐EMe\(_{3}\) (E=Si, Sn; aryl=Ph (1), Mes (=2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl, 2)) were synthesized by ring‐expansion of borole precursors with N\(_{3}\)EMe\(_{3}\)‐derived nitrenes. Desilylative hydrolysis of 1‐ and 2‐SiMe\(_{3}\) yielded the corresponding N‐protonated azaborinines, which were deprotonated with nBuLi or MN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\) (M=Na, K) to the corresponding group 1 salts, 1‐M and 2‐M. While the lithium salts crystallized as monomeric Lewis base adducts, the potassium salts formed coordination polymers or oligomers via intramolecular K⋅⋅⋅aryl π interactions. The reaction of 1‐M or 2‐M with CO\(_{2}\) yielded N‐carboxylate salts, which were derivatized by salt metathesis to methyl and silyl esters. Salt metathesis of 1‐M or 2‐M with methyl triflate, [Cp*BeCl] (Cp*=C\(_{5}\)Me\(_{5}\)), BBr\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Ph, Mes, 2‐thienyl), ECl\(_{3}\) (E=B, Al, Ga) and PX\(_{3}\) (X=Cl, Br) afforded the respective group 2, 13 and 15 1,2‐azaborinin‐2‐yl complexes. Salt metathesis of 1‐K with BBr\(_{3}\) resulted not only in N‐borylation but also Ph‐Br exchange between the endocyclic and exocyclic boron atoms. Solution \(^{11}\)B NMR data suggest that the 1,2‐azaborinin‐2‐yl ligand is similarly electron‐withdrawing to a bromide. In the solid state the endocyclic bond length alternation and the twisting of the C\(_{4}\)BN ring increase with the sterics of the substituents at the boron and nitrogen atoms, respectively. Regression analyses revealed that the downfield shift of the endocyclic \(^{11}\)B NMR resonances is linearly correlated to both the degree of twisting of the C\(_{4}\)BN ring and the tilt angle of the N‐substituent. Calculations indicate that the 1,2‐azaborinin‐1‐yl ligand has no sizeable π‐donor ability and that the aromaticity of the ring can be subtly tuned by the electronics of the N‐substituent.
The aim of this work was to synthesize and functionalize different bio-relevant nanomaterials like silica-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as contrast agents for T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and detonation nanodiamond (DND) with the neurohormone peptide allatostatin 1 (ALST1) and a fluorescent dye. Analytical techniques for the determination and quantification of surface functional groups like amines, azides, and peptides were also developed and established.
Thus, in the first part of the work, a TGF-1 binding peptide and allatostatin 1 (ALST1), both supposed to act as active tumour targeting vectors, were synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and characterized by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. Then, azide-functionalized silica nanoparticles were synthesized by the Stöber process and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The surface loading of amine and azide groups was determined by a new protocol. The azide groups were reduced with sodium boronhydride to amine and then functionalized with Fmoc-Rink Amide linker according to a standard SPPS protocol. Upon cleavage of Fmoc by piperidine, the resulting dibenzofulvene and its piperidine adduct were quantified by UV/Vis spectroscopy and used to determine the amount of amine groups on the nanoparticle surface. Then, ALST1 and related tyrosine- and phenylalanine substituted model peptides were conjugated to the azide-functionalized silica nanoparticles by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC). The successful peptide conjugation was demonstrated by the Pauly reaction, which however is only sensitive to histidine- and tyrosine-containing peptides. As a more general alternative, the acid hydrolysis of the peptides to their individual amino acid building blocks followed by derivatization with phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) allowed the separation, determination, and quantification of the constituent amino acids by HPLC.
In the second part of the work, amine- and azide-functionalized silica-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized by co-precipitation and subsequent silica-coated based on the Stöber process and characterized by TEM and IR. The amine surface loading was determined by the method already established for the pure silica systems. The azide surface loading could also be quantified by reduction with sodium boronhydride to amine groups and then conjugation to Fmoc-Rink amide linker. Upon cleavage of Fmoc with piperidine, the total amine surface loading was obtained. The amount of azide surface groups was then determined from the difference of the total amine surface loading and the amine surface loading. Thus, it was possible to quantify both amine and azide surface groups on a single nanoparticle system. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are potent T2 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to their natural metabolism after injection into the blood stream, SPIONs mostly end up inside macrophages, liver, spleen or kidneys. To generate a potential target-specific SPION-based T2 contrast agent for MRI, the neurohormone peptide ALST1 was conjugated by CuAAC to the azide- and amine functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, since ALST1 is supposed to target difficult-to-treat neuroendocrinic tumours due to its analogy to galanin and somastatin receptor ligands. The organic fluorescent dye cyanine 5 (Cy5) was also conjugated to the silica-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) via a NHS-ester to the amines to enable cell uptake studies by fluorescence microscopy. These constructs were characterized by TEM, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and IR. The amino acids of the conjugated ALST1 were determined by the HPLC method as described before for peptide-modified silica nanoparticle surfaces. Then, the relaxivity r2 was measured at 7 T. However, a r2 value of 27 L/mmolFe·s for the dual ALST1-/Cy5-functionalized silica-coated SPIONs was not comparable to T2 contrast agents in clinical use, since their relaxivity is commonly determined at 1.5 T, and no such instrument was available. However, it can be assumed that the synthesized dual
ALST1-/Cy5-functionalized silica-coated SPION would show a lower r2 at 1.5 T than at 7T. Commercial T2 MRI contrast agents like VSOP-C184 from Ferropharm show at r2 values of about 30 L/mmolFe·s at 1.5 T. Still, the relaxivity of the new material has some potential for application as a T2 contrast agent. Then, the material was used in cell uptake studies by fluorescence microscopy with the conjugated Cy5 dye as a probe. The dual
ALST1-/Cy5-functionalized silica-coated SPION showed a high degree of agglomeration with no cellular uptake unlike described for ALST1-functionalized nanoparticles in literature. It is assumed that upon agglomeration of the particles, constructs form which are unable to be internalized by the cellular endocytotic pathways anymore. As a future perspective, the tendency of the particle to agglomerate should be reduced by changing the coating material to polyethylene glycol (PEG) or chitosan, which are known to be bio-compatible, bio-degradable and prevent agglomeration.
In the third part of the work, the rhenium compound [ReBr(CO)3(L)] with L = 2-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and its manganese analogue were synthesized by heating the ligand and rhenium pentacarbonyl bromide or and manganese pentacarbonyl bromide respectively, in toluene. However, [MnBr(CO)3(L)] was unstable upon illumination by UV light at 365 nm. Thus, it was dismissed for further application. The photophysical properties of [ReBr(CO)3(L)] were explored, by determination of the excited-state life time by the time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) method and the quantum yield by a fluorescence spectrometer equipped with an integration sphere. A value of = 455 ns, a Stokes shift of 197 nm and a rather low quantum yield =were found. Metal complexes are supposed to have superior properties compared to organic dyes due to their large Stokes shifts, long excited-state life times, and high quantum yields. Thus, amine- and azide-functionalized detonation nanodiamond (DND) as an alternative biological inert carrier system was functionalized with ALST1 to enhance its cell uptake properties. A luminescent probe for cell uptake studies using fluorescence microscopy was also attached, either based on the new rhenium complex or the commercially available organic dye Cy5, respectively. The aldehyde-functionalized rhenium complex was conjugated to the DND via oxime ligation, which is known to be a mild and catalyst-free conjugation method. The amount of peptide ALST1 on the DND was analyzed and quantified after acid hydrolysis and PITC derivatization by HPLC as described before. Then, the ALST1-/luminescent probe-functionalized DND was investigated for its photophysical properties by fluorescence spectroscopy. The Cy5-functionalized material showed a slightly lower fluorescence performance in aqueous solution than reported in literature and commercial suppliers with a life time < 0.4 ns and quantum yields not determinable by integration sphere due to the week signal intensity. The rhenium complex-functionalized material had a very low signal intensity in only aqueous medium, and thus determination of life times and quantum yield by fluorescence spectroscopy was not possible. After incubation with MDA-MB 231 cells, the Cy5-functionalized DND could easily be detected due to its red fluorescence. However, it was not possible to visualize the rhenium complex-functionalized DND with fluorescence microscopy due to the low fluorescence intensity of the complex in aqueous medium and the lack of proper filters for the fluorescence microscope. Cy5-functionalized DND did not show any cellular uptake in fluorescence microscopy after conjugation with ALST1. Since the nanodiamond surface is known to strongly adsorb peptides and proteins, it is assumed that the peptide chain is oriented perpendicular to the nanoparticle surface and thus not able to interact with cell membrane receptors to promote cell uptake of the particles. As a future perspective, the ALST1-promoted cellular uptake of the DND should be improved by using different linker systems for peptide conjugation to prevent adsorption of the peptide chain on the particle surface.
The new analytical methods for amino-, azide-, and peptide-functionalized nanoparticles have great potential to assist in the quantification of nanoparticle surface modifications by UV/Vis spectroscopy and HPLC. The determination of surface amine and azide groups based on the cleavage of conjugated Fmoc-Rink amide linker and detected by UV/Vis spectroscopy is applicable to all amine-/azide-functionalized nanomaterials. However, particles which form very stable suspension with the cleavage mixture can cause quantification problems due to scattering, making an accurate quantification of dibenzofulvene and its piperidine adduct impossible. The detection of tyrosine- and histidine-containing peptides based on the Pauly reaction is well-suited as a fast and easy-to-perform qualitative demonstration of successful peptide surface conjugation. However, its major drawback as a colourimetric approach is that coloured particles cannot be evaluated by this method. The amino acid analysis based on HPLC after acid hydrolysis of peptides conjugated to nanoparticle surfaces to its individual building blocks and subsequent derivatization with PITC, can be used on all nanomaterials with peptide or protein surface modification. It allows detection of amino acids down to picomolar concentrations and even enables analysis of very small peptide surface loadings. However, the resulting HPLC traces are difficult to analyze.
Three new analytical methods based on UV/Vis and HPLC techniques have been developed and established. They assisted in the characterization of the synthesized DND and SPIONs with dual functionalization by ALST1 and Cy5 or [ReBr(CO)3(L)], respectively. However, the nanomaterials showed no cellular uptake due to a high tendency to agglomerate. The cellular uptake should be improved and the tendency to agglomerate of the SPIONs should be reduced by changing the surface coating from silica to either PEG or chitosan. Furthermore, different linker systems for connecting peptides to DND surfaces should be synthesized and evaluated to reduce potential peptide chain adsorption.

A practical and direct method was developed for the production of versatile alkyl boronate esters via transition metal-free borylation of primary and secondary alkyl sulfones. The key to the success of the strategy is the use of bis(neopentyl glycolato) diboron (B\(_{2}\)neop\(_{2}\)), with a stoichiometric amount of base as a promoter. The practicality and industrial potential of this protocol are highlighted by its wide functional group tolerance, the late-stage modification of complex compounds, no need for further transesterification, and operational simplicity. Radical clock, radical trap experiments, and EPR studies were conducted which show that the borylation process involves radical intermediates.

Catalytic C−X borylation of aryl halides containing two ortho‐fluorines has been found to be challenging, as most previous methods require stoichiometric amounts of base and the polyfluorinated aryl boronates suffer from protodeboronation, which is accelerated by ortho‐fluorine substituents. Herein, we report that a combination of Pd(dba)2 (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) with SPhos (2‐dicyclohexylphosphino‐2’,6’‐dimethoxybiphenyl) as a ligand is efficient to catalyze the C‐Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho‐fluorine substituents. This method, conducted under base‐free conditions, is compatible with the resulting di‐ortho‐fluorinated aryl boronate products which are sensitive to base.

Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt einen Beitrag zur Siliciumchemie dar — mit einem Schwerpunkt in der Chemie des penta- und hexakoordinierten Siliciums. Die Ergebnisse werden im Folgenden aufgegliedert in vier Themenkomplexe vorgestellt. 7.1 Synthese und Charakterisierung zwitterionischer l5Si-Silicate Im Rahmen der hier vorgestellten Untersuchungen wurden die bisher unbekannten zwitterionischen l5Si-Silicate 3–8 — lösungsmittelfrei oder in Form wohldefinierter Solvate — dargestellt. Erstmals konnte für die Substanzklasse der zwitterionischen l5Si-Spirosilicate an dem bereits bekannten l5Si-Silicat 1 durch 1H-VT-NMR-Experimente die Energiebarriere für die Enantiomerisierung im Sinne einer Berry-Pseudorotation in Lösung bestimmt werden. Durch Hydrolyse von 1 — gefolgt von Kondensationsreaktionen — wurde das neuartige Oktasilsesquioxan 2 dargestellt. Die Charakterisierung aller Verbindungen erfolgte durch Elementaranalysen, 1H-, 13C- und 29Si-NMR-Spektroskopie an Lösungen (außer 2), 29Si-VACP/MAS-NMR-Spektroskopie an Feststoffen und im Fall der Verbindungen 2, 3×½HO(CH2)2OH, 4×HO(CH2)2OH, 6, 7×3/2C4H8O2 und 8×2CH2Cl2 durch Einkristall-Röntgenstrukturanalysen. Anhand der Synthese von 1 durch Umsetzung von Dimethoxy(methyl)[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino)methyl]silan mit Ethan-1,2-diol wurde gezeigt, das Ethan-1,2-diol zu einer selektiven Si–C-Spaltungsreaktion (Abspaltung eines Moläquivalents Methan) in der Synthese zwitterionischer l5Si-Spirosilicate in der Lage ist. Durch 1H-VT-NMR-Experimente wurde die Barriere des Enantiomerisierungsprozesses am Silicium-Zentrum von 1 zu 35.3(5) kJ mol–1 bestimmt. Durch Umsetzung von 1 mit Wasser in Methylenchlorid bei Raumtemperatur gelang die Synthese des Aminomethylsubstituierten Octasilsesquioxans 2. Die Synthese der Verbindungen 3–5 erfolgte durch Umsetzung der entsprechenden Trialkoxy[(amino)alkyl]silane mit Ethan-1,2-diol in Substanz (3) oder in Acetonitril (4 und 5). Die bereits bekannte Verbindung 6 wurde zwecks struktureller Charakterisierung resynthetisiert. Durch Umsetzung von Trimethoxy[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino)methyl]-silan mit Benzoin gelang die Synthese von 7. Mit Verbindung 8 — dargestellt durch Umsetzung von Dimethoxy(methyl)[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino)methyl]silan mit Brenzkatechin — gelang erstmals die Synthese eines zwitterionischen l5Si-Silicates mit SiO3C2-Gerüst. In siedendem Acetonitril konnte 8 unter Methan-Abspaltung zum bekannten zwitterionischen l5Si-Spirosilicat 9 umgesetzt werden. 7.2 Synthese und Charakterisierung anionischer l5Si-Silicate und dianionischer l5Si,l5Si’-Disilicate mit SiO5-Gerüst Im Rahmen der hier vorgestellten Untersuchungen wurden erstmals die anionischen l5Si-Silicate 11 und 13–15 sowie die dianionischen l5Si,l5Si’-Disilicate 10, 12 und 16 mit SiO5-Gerüst — lösungsmittelfrei oder in Form wohldefinierter Solvate — dargestellt. Die Charakterisierung dieser Verbindungen erfolgte durch Elementaranalysen, 1H-, 13C- und 29Si-NMR-Spektroskopie an Lösungen, 29Si-VACP/MAS-NMR-Spektroskopie am Festkörper sowie durch Kristallstrukturanalysen [(Δ,Δ/Λ,Λ)-10×2CH3CN, (Λ)-11×THF, meso-12×2CHCl3, 13, 14, 15×2THF und meso-16]. Die Synthesen der l5Si-Silicate 10–13 und 16 erfolgten in aprotischen organischen Lösungsmitteln durch Umsetzung von Tetramethoxysilan mit Benzilsäure, dem entsprechenden Amin und Wasser in dem erforderlichen stöchiometrischen Verhältnis. Das l5Si-[Trimethylsilanolato(1–)]silicat 14 wurde ausgehend von dem Hydroxosilicat 13, Chlortrimethylsilan und Triethylamin in Acetonitril erhalten. Das l5Si-[Methanolato- (1–)]silicat 15 wurde durch die Umsetzung von Tetramethoxysilan mit Benzilsäure und Lithiummethanolat in Tetrahydrofuran dargestellt. Die l5Si,l5Si’-μ-Oxo-disilicate 10, 12 und 16 sind die ersten strukturell charakterisierten Verbindungen, in denen zwei pentakoordinierte Silicium-Atome mit SiO5-Skelett über ein gemeinsames Sauerstoff-Atom miteinander verbrückt sind. Sowohl ihre Reaktivität gegenüber Wasser, als auch ihr stereodynamisches Verhalten in Lösung, das mit 1H- und 13C-VT-NMR-Experimenten untersucht werden konnte, machen diese Verbindungen zu sehr lohnenden Studienobjekten für das Verständnis der Chemie des pentakoordinierten Siliciums. Mit den Verbindungen 11 und 13 wurden erstmals l5Si-Hydroxosilicate zugänglich gemacht und strukturell charakterisiert (unabhängig von einem kürzlich von P. Klüfers et al. veröffentlichten l5Si-Hydroxosilicat). Das l5Si-[Trimethylsilanolato(1–)]silicat 14 ist das erste Beispiel für die Verknüpfung eines pentakoordinierten und tetrakoordinierten Silicium-Atoms durch ein Sauerstoff-Atom und demonstriert die Zugänglichkeit der HO-Funktionaliät des l5Si-Hydroxosilicates 13 für Derivatisierungen. Das l5Si-[Methanolato(1–)]silicat 15 ist als Modellverbindung für die Bildung der l5Si-Hydroxosilicate 11 und 13 von mechanistischem und auch präparativem Interesse. 7.3 Synthese und Charakterisierung dianionischer l6Si-Silicate mit SiO6-Gerüst Im Rahmen der hier vorgestellten Untersuchungen wurden die bisher unbekannten dianionischen l6Si-Silicate 19–21 mit SiO6-Gerüst — lösungsmittelfrei oder in Form wohldefinierter Solvate — dargestellt. Die bereits bekannte Verbindung 18 wurde zwecks Kristallstrukturanalyse resynthetisiert. Die Charakterisierung aller synthetisierten Verbindungen erfolgte durch Elementaranalysen 1H-, 13C- und 29Si-NMR-Spektroskopie an Lösungen (mit Ausnahme von 19 und 21 [nur 1H- und 13C-NMR-Messungen]), 29Si-VACP/MAS-NMR-Spektroskopie am Festkörper sowie durch Röntgenbeugungs-Experimente an Einkristallen [18·2NH3·2H2O , mer-19, fac-20·½C4H8O2, (R,R/S,S)-21]. Die l6Si-Silicate 19–21 wurden durch Umsetzung von Tetramethoxysilan bzw. Tetrachlorsilan mit drei bzw. zwei Moläquivalenten des entsprechenden Amins dargestellt. Diese Verbindungen stellen die ersten l6Si-Silicate mit deprotonierten α-Hydroxycarbonsäuren als Liganden dar. Verbindung 21 ist darüber hinaus die erste Silicium-Verbindung mit dreizähnigen Citrato(3–)-Liganden. Neben einem allgemein erweiterten Verständnis der Chemie von l6Si-Silicaten mit SiO6-Gerüst geben die untersuchten Verbindungen insbesondere auch neue stereochemische Einblicke in die Koordinationschemie des Siliciums. In wieweit diese hier genannten l6Si-Silicate einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Siliciumdioxid-Biomineralisation leisten können, bleibt abzuwarten. 7.4 Synthese und Charakterisierung von Verbindungen des tetrakoordinierten Siliciums Im Rahmen der hier vorgestellten Untersuchungen wurden erstmals die Silane 25 und 27 dargestellt, und die Synthesen der bereits bekannten Silicium-Verbindungen 22–24 konnten verbessert werden. Die Charakterisierung von 22–27 erfolgte durch Elementaranalysen 1H-, 13C- und 29Si-NMR-Spektroskopie an Lösungen, 29Si-VACP/MAS-NMR-Spektroskopie am Festkörper (nur 23×EtOAc), sowie durch Röntgenbeugung an Einkristallen (23×EtOAc, 25–27). Eine Verbesserung der Synthese von 22 gelang durch die Umsetzung von 1,2-Bis(diethylamino)-1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilan mit Acetylchlorid zum 1,2-Dichlor-1,1,2,2-tetraphenyldisilan und dessen nachfolgende Hydrolyse. Die Kristallisation des macrocyclischen Siloxans 23 konnte verbessert und das Solvat 23×EtOAc durch Röntgenbeugung strukturell charakterisiert werden. Bei der Umkristallisation von 22 wurden auch einzelne Kristalle des entsprechenden Disiloxans 26 erhalten, welches erstmals durch Kristallstrukturanalyse charakterisiert werden konnte. Das Silan 24 wurde auf zwei neuen Synthesewegen dargestellt: zum einen durch Umsetzung von Bis(chlormethyl)diphenylsilan mit Trifuormethansulfonsäure und anschließende Aufarbeitung mit Triethylammoniumchlorid, zum anderen durch Chlormethylierung von Chlor(chlormethyl)bis(diethylamino)silan mittels der Reagenzkombination BrCH2Cl/n-BuLi und anschließende Umsetzung mit Benzoylchlorid. Das Silan 25 wurde ausgehend von Trimethoxy[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidino)methyl]silan durch wiederholte Umsetzung mit Tetrachlorsilan erhalten, und das Silan 27 wurde ausgehend von Tetrachlorsilan durch vierfache Chlormethylierung mittels der Reagenzkombination BrCH2Cl/n-BuLi erhalten.
Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt einen Beitrag zur Chemie des höherkoordinierten Siliciums dar. Dabei standen die Synthese und Charakterisierung neuer neutraler tetra-, penta- und hexakoordinierter Silicium(IV)-Komplexe sowie die Synthese, Charakterisierung und Reaktivität eines neuartigen Donor-stabilisierten Silylens im Vordergrund.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden das Silan 16, die neutralen tetrakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 36, 37', 38'·C6H5CH3, 40'∙C6H5CH3, 41 und 42, die neutralen pentakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 2‒8, 10·0.5C6H5CH3, 11, 12, 15, 17‒20 und 39', die neutralen hexakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 21‒23, das Donor-stabilisierte trikoordinierte Silylen 25, der neutrale tetrakoordinierte Silicium(II)-Komplex 35 sowie das Lithiumamidinat 1·2Et2O erstmalig dargestellt und charakterisiert. Die Charakterisierung dieser Verbindungen erfolgte durch NMR-Spektroskopie in Lösung und im Festkörper, durch Kristallstrukturanalyse sowie durch Elementaranalyse. Die Synthesen und Eigenschaften dieser Verbindungen können wie folgt zusammengefasst werden:
Synthese und Charakterisierung neutraler pentakoordinierter Silicium(IV)-Komplexe
Ausgehend von entsprechenden Silicium(IV)-haltigen Vorstufen wurden die neutralen pentakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 2‒8, 10·0.5C6H5CH3, 11, 12, 15 und 17‒20 dargestellt. So konnten die Verbindungen 2, 5, 7 und 8 durch Umsetzung der entsprechemden Trichlorsilane bzw. Tetrachlorsilan mit 1 in Diethylether erhalten werden. Diese Verbindungen besitzen an den beiden Stickstoff-Atomen des Amidinato-Liganden jeweils eine sterisch sehr anspruchsvolle Diisopropylphenyl-Einheit (Dipp), welche den Einbau eines zweiten Amidinato-Liganden nicht zulässt und sich so ausschließlich pentakoordinierte Silicium(IV)-Komplexe bilden. Durch Weiterreaktion von 2 und 5 mit Lithiumdimethyl- bzw. Kaliumbis(trimethylsilyl)amid entstanden die Komplexe 3, 4 und 6.
Die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 2‒8 im Kristall entsprechen denen von stark verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramiden, wobei die Stickstoff-Atome des Amidinato-Liganden eine axiale bzw. äquatoriale Position besetzen. Die zweite axiale Position wird jeweils von einem Chloro-Liganden eingenommen. Die genannten Verbindungen besitzen alle einen stark gespannten viergliedrigen SiN2C-Ring mit mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägter Elektronendelokalisation innerhalb de N‒C‒N-Fragmentes, welcher durch den Amidinato-Liganden mit dem Si-Koordinationszentrum gebildet wird und hauptverantwortlich für die starke Verzerrung der Si-Koordinationspolyeder ist.
Die Verbindungen 10·0.5C6H5CH3, 11 und 12 entstanden durch Umsetzung der entsprechenden Trichlorsilane mit 9 und zwei Moläquivalenten Triethylamin in Tetrahydrofuran. Durch Weiterreaktion von 11 mit Benzolthiol bzw. Benzolselenol und Triethylamin in Tetrahydrofuran wurden die Komplexe 18 und 19 gebildet. Die Verbindungen 15 und 20 entstanden mittels einer Transsilylierungsreaktion von 14 mit Azidotrimethylsilan bzw. 11 mit Trimethylsilyl(phenyl)tellurid in Tetrahydrofuran. Verbindung 17 wurde durch Umsetzung von Cl2Si(OPh)Me (16) mit 9 und zwei Moläquivalenten Triethylamin in Tetrahydrofuran erhalten.
Die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 10·0.5C6H5CH3, 11, 12, 15 und 17‒20 im Kristall entsprechen denen von stark verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramiden, wobei der tridentate N,N',S- bzw. N,N',O-Ligand zwei Fünfringe mit dem Si-Koordinationszentrum ausbildet. Das Pyridin-Stickstoff- und das Schwefel-Atom des N,N',S-Liganden (bzw. Sauerstoff-Atom des N,N',O-Liganden) besetzen die axialen Bindungspositionen.
Synthese und Charakterisierung neutraler hexakoordinierter Silicium(IV)-Komplexe
Die neutralen hexakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 21 und 22 wurden durch Umsetzung von Trichlorsilan mit zwei Moläquivalenten des entsprechenden Lithiumamidinats in Diethylether dargestellt.
Die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 21 und 22 im Kristall entsprechen denen von stark verzerrten Oktaedern, wobei jeweils eines der beiden Stickstoff-Atome der zwei Amidinato-Liganden trans zueinander angeordnet sind. Die beiden anderen Stickstoff-Atome der Amidinato-Liganden befinden sich in trans-Position zum Chloro- bzw. Hydrido-Liganden.
Der neutrale hexakoordinierte Silicium(IV)-Komplex 23 wurde durch Umsetzung des pentakoordinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexes 11 mit 8-Hydroxychinolin und Triethylamin in Tetrahydrofuran dargestellt.
Das Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 23 im Kristall entspricht dem eines stark verzerrten Oktaeders, wobei der dreizähnige N,N',S-Ligand eine mer-Anordnung einnimmt und das Chinolin-Stickstoff-Atom und das Kohlenstoff-Atom des Methyl-Liganden trans zueinander stehen.
Mit den hier beschriebenen Synthesen konnte gezeigt werden, dass pentakoordinierte Chlorosilicium(IV)-Komplexe ‒ wie beispielsweise 2, 5 oder 11 ‒ sehr gut geeignete Ausgangsstoffe für die Darstellung neuartiger penta- und hexakoordinierter Silicium(IV)-Verbindungen darstellen.
Synthese und Charakterisierung eines neuartigen Donor-stabilisierten Silylens
Nachdem alle Versuche, ein entsprechendes Donor-stabilisiertes Silylen durch Basen-induzierte reduktive HCl-Eliminierung der penta- bzw. hexakoordinierten Chlorohydridosilicium(IV)-Komplexe 2‒4, 21 und 22 darzustellen, fehlschlugen, wurde daraufhin der pentakoordinierte Dichlorosilicium(IV)-Komplex 6 mit zwei Moläquivalenten elementarem Kalium in Tetrahydrofuran erfolgreich zum trikoordinierten Donor-stabilisierten Silylen 25 umgesetzt.
Das Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 25 entspricht dem eines stark verzerrten (Pseudo)tetraeders, wobei die drei Bindungspositionen von den Stickstoff-Atomen und eine vierte von dem freien Elektronenpaar eingenommen werden. Die starke Verzerrung ist auf den stark gespannten viergliedrigen SiN2C-Ring des Komplexes zurückzuführen.
Reaktivität des Donor-stabilisierten Silylens 25
Der trikoordinierte Silicium(II)-Komplex 25 reagierte mit Eisenpentacarbonyl in Toluol im Sinne einer nukleophilen Substitutionsreaktion unter Ausbildung einer Si–Fe-Bindung zum neutralen tetrakoordinierten Silicium(II)-Komplex 35.
Das Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 35 im Kristall entspricht dem eines stark verzerrten Tetraeders. Das Fe-Koordinationspolyeder entspricht dem einer stark verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide, wobei der sterisch sehr anspruchsvolle Silylen-Ligand interessanterweise eine axiale Bindungsposition am Eisen-Koordinationszentrum einnimmt.
Desweiteren wurde 25 mit den Aziden Me3SiN3, PhSCH2N3 und (PhO)2P(O)N3 in Toluol im Sinne einer oxidativen Addition unter Abspaltung von elementarem Stickstoff zu 36, 37' bzw. 38'·C6H5CH3 umgesetzt. Bemerkenswert ist, dass bei der Reaktion mit PhSCH2N3 zu 37' eine Umlagerungsreaktion stattfindet, wobei eine Si–S-Bindung geknüpft und ein Si–N=CH2-Fragment gebildet wird. Bei der Reaktion von 25 mit (PhO)2P(O)N3 zu 38'·C6H5CH3 wird ein Sauerstoff-verbrücktes Dimer gebildet, wodurch ein achtgliedriger Ring mit zwei Silicium(IV)-Zentren aufgebaut wird.
Die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 36, 37' und 38'·C6H5CH3 im Kristall entsprechen denen von stark verzerrten Tetraedern, wobei der Amidinato-Ligand nur in Verbindung 36 bidentat an das Silicium-Zentrum koordiniert ist, während für 37' und 38'·C6H5CH3 ein monodentater Koordinationsmodus beobachtet wird.
Durch Umsetzung von 25 mit N2O, S, Se bzw. Te in Toluol entstanden ebenfalls im Sinne einer oxidativen Addition die tetra- bzw. pentakoodinierten Silicium(IV)-Komplexe 39', 40'·C6H5CH3, 41 und 42. Die Verbindungen 39' und 40'·C6H5CH3 sind Dimere der eigentlichen Zielverbindungen 39 und 40, wobei 40' bei höheren Temperaturen zu dem Monomer 40 dissoziiert, welches dann nach Abkühlen auf Raumtemperatur auch in Lösung stabil ist. Die Verbindungen 41 sowie 42 bilden jedoch ausschließlich Monomere.
Die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 39' im Kristall entsprechen dem einer stark verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide, während die Si-Koordinationspolyeder von 40'·C6H5CH3, 41 und 42 denen eines stark verzerrten Tetraeders entsprechen. Dabei ist der Amidinato-Ligand in 39', 41 und 42 bidentat, in 40'·C6H5CH3 dagegen monodentat an das Silicium-Koordinationszentrum koordiniert ist.
Mit den hier beschriebenen Synthesen konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Donor-stabilisierte Silylen 25 ein außergewöhnliches Reaktivitätsspektrum aufweist und damit ein sehr interessantes Synthesepotential zur Darstellung neuartiger Silicium(II)- und Silicium(IV)-Komplexe besitzt.

Zusammenfassung
Synthetisch einfach zugängliche, thermisch und chemisch robuste schwach oder mittelstark wechselwirkende Anionen sind wichtige Bausteine für neue Materialien wie zum Beispiel ionische Flüssigkeiten und Li-Leitsalze. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden zum einen neue schwach koordinierende Borat- und Pentafluorophosphat-Anionen entwickelt und zum anderen effiziente Synthesen zu bereits bekannten Cyanoborat-Anionen ausgearbeitet.
Aufgrund ihrer interessanten Eigenschaften wie niedriger Viskosität und elektrochemischer Stabilität wird der Einsatz von ionischen Flüssigkeiten mit dem [BH(CN)3]−-Anion seit längerer Zeit intensiv untersucht. Ausgehend von Na[BH4] wurde eine äußerst effiziente Synthese zu K[BH(CN)3], die auch für den molaren Maßstab geeignet ist, entwickelt.
Die Synthese verläuft über Tricarboxylatohydridoborate als Zwischenstufen, welche sich bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Temperaturen von 60 °C weiter mit TMSCN und TMSCl (Kat.) zum [BH(CN)3]−-Anion cyanieren lassen. Durch schrittweise Cyanierung mit TMSCN, ohne den Einsatz eines Lewis-Säure-Katalysators wie TMSCl, wurden die Carboxylatocyanoborate M[BH(CN)(OC(O)Et)2] (M+ = Na+, [Ph4P]+) und M[BH(CN)2(OC(O)Et)] (M+ = Na+, [EMIm]+) synthetisiert und zum Teil strukturell charakterisiert. [EMIm][BH(CN)2(OC(O)Et)] ist eine bei Raumtemperatur flüssige ionische Flüssigkeit mit einem Schmelzpunkt von −78 °C. Die dynamische Viskosität ist mit 44.81 mPa∙s bei 20 °C etwa vier Mal so hoch wie die von [EMIm][BH(CN)3] mit 12.36 mPa∙s.
Ausgehend von den nun in sehr guten Ausbeuten und in hohen Reinheiten zugänglichen Cyanohydridoboraten wurden verschiedene Fluorierungsmethoden untersucht, um daraus Cyanofluoroborate zu synthetisieren. So wurde K[BF(CN)3] ausgehend von K[BH(CN)3] über direkte Fluorierung mit F2 in aHF oder F-TEDA, XeF2 sowie (Et2N)SF3 in Acetonitril synthetisiert. K[BH(CN)3] reagiert in aHF in Gegenwart von Fluor jedoch nicht selektiv zu K[BF(CN)3]. Es kommt zur teilweisen Addition eines HF-Moleküls an eine Cyanogruppe, welche nach wässriger Aufarbeitung K[BF(CN)2(C(O)NH2)] liefert. Die Säureamid-Gruppe lässt sich aber anschließend mit COCl2 leicht entwässern, sodass K[BF(CN)3] selektiv erhalten wird. Ebenfalls ist eine indirekte Fluorierung durch vorheriges Umsetzen eines entsprechenden [BH(CN)3]− Borats mit Cl2 oder Br2 und nachfolgender Fluorierung mit Et3N∙3HF möglich. Die gezeigten Fluorierungen wurden ebenfalls auf weitere Hydridoborate übertragen. Na[BH(CN)2(OC(O)Et)] wurde unter Erhalt der Propoxylato-Gruppe in einer Eintopfsynthese mit Br2 und Et3N∙3HF zu Na[BF(CN)2(OC(O)Et)] fluoriert.
K[BF(CN)3] konnte ausgehend von K[BH(CN)3] ebenfalls mit Hilfe der elektrochemischen Fluorierung (ECF, Simons-Prozess) im Gramm-Maßstab hergestellt werden. Dabei gelang die erste Fluorierung einer B−H-Spezies mit dem Simons-Prozess überhaupt.
Bei der ECF von K[BF(CN)3] wurden bei fortschreitender Reaktionsdauer NMR-spektroskopisch verschiedene CF3-Borate beobachtet. Während der ECF kommt es also teilweise zu einer C≡N-Bindungsspaltung.
Die Fluorierung von CN-Gruppen mit ClF zu CF3-Gruppen wurde ebenfalls auf eine Reihe weiterer Borate angewendet. So wurden K[(C2F5)B(CF3)3] und K[(C2F5)BF(CF3)2] ausgehend von K[(C2F5)B(CN)3] und K[(C2F5)BF(CN)2] synthetisiert und mit einigen Zwischenstufen NMR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert.
Neben Boraten sind besonders Salze von schwach koordinierende Phosphat-Anionen wie Li[PF6] für elektrochemische Anwendungen von Interesse. Auf Basis von verschiedenen aminverbrückten Phosphonsäuren wurden neuartige Salze mit mehrfach negativ geladenen Oligo-Phosphat-Anionen synthetisiert. {((HO)2(O)PCH2)2NCH2}2 und ((HO)2(O)PCH2)3N reagieren mit wasserfreiem Fluorwasserstoff zu den entsprechenden Oligo-Pentafluorophosphat-Anionen [{(F5PCH2)2NHCH2}2]2− und [(F5PCH2)2NH]2−. Die verbrückenden Stickstoffatome werden dabei protoniert, was zu zweifach negativ geladenen Phosphat-Anionen führt. Unterschiedliche Salze mit organischen und anorganischen Kationen wurde so isoliert.
Weitere Salze, wie das [Ph3C]-, [EMIm]- oder das Li-Salz, wurden durch Metathesereaktionen erhalten. Das Stickstoffatom in -Position zum Phosphoratom scheint essenziel für die Fluorierung der Phosphonsäure-Gruppe mit aHF zu einer PF5-Gruppe zu sein. Dies wurde durch die Umsetzung anderer funktionalisierter Phosphonsäuren wie z.B. (HO)2(O)PMe bestätigt, da es dabei nur zu einer Teilfluorierung zum F2(O)PMe kam.
Die Kalium-Salze K2[{(F5PCH2)2NHCH2}2] und K2[(F5PCH2)3NH] lassen sich mit KH in DMF deprotonieren und so Salze mit den dreifach bzw. vierfach negativ geladenen Anionen [{(F5PCH2)2NCH2}2]4− und [(F5PCH2)3N]3− erhalten. K4[{(F5PCH2)2NCH2}2] und K3[(F5PCH2)2N] sind hydrolyseempfindlich und werden leicht protoniert. Die deprotonierten Anionen können jedoch mit Methyliodid oder Allyliodid weiter umgesetzt und so funktionalisiert werden.
Das methylierte bzw. allylierte Stickstoffatom sorgt für eine deutliche Stabilisierung der Anionen. So steigt zum Beispiel die Zersetzungstemperatur von K2[{(F5PCH2)2N(CH3)CH2}2] im Vergleich zu K2[{(F5PCH2)2NHCH2}2] um über 100 °C auf 300 °C. Des Weiteren steigt auch die Stabilität gegenüber Hydrolyse bei Salzen mit den methylierten Phosphat-Anionen deutlich an. K2[{(F5PCH2)2NHCH2}2] wird nach einigen Minuten in H2O langsam hydrolisiert. Dagegen ist K2[{(F5PCH2)2N(CH3)CH2}2] mehrere Tage sowohl wasser- als auch basenstabil. Das durch eine Metathesereaktion von Li[BF4] mit K2[{(F5PCH2)2N(CH3)CH2}2] erhaltene Li2[{(F5PCH2)2N(CH3)CH2}2] hat in -Butyrolacton eine Leitfähigkeit von 2.67 mS∙cm−1 (c = 0.1 mol∙L−1). Einige Oligo-Pentafluorophosphate wurden ebenfalls strukturanalytisch charakterisiert.
Metall-basierte Antitumorwirkstoffe wie Cisplatin, Carboplatin und Oxaliplatin sind weltweit für die Behandlung verschiedener Krebsarten zugelassen. Resistenzbildung, starke Nebenwirkungen und ein eingeschränktes Spektrum responsiver Tumoren schränken jedoch ihren Anwendungsbereich ein. Daher ist die Suche nach neuen Platinverbindungen mit verbesserten Eigenschaften sowie Antitumor-aktiven Metallkomplexen anderer Metalle ein aktuelles Forschungsthema. Durch die Einbettung der Wirkstoffe in entsprechende Trägermaterialien und eine Freisetzung mit präziser zeitlicher und räumlicher Kontrolle sollten sich zudem die Nebenwirkungen deutlich reduzieren lassen. Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wurde daher eine Serie von quadratisch-planaren Platin(II)- und Palladium(II)-Komplexen mit N^N^S-Chelatliganden auf der Basis von N-Phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylen)hydrazin-1-carbothioamid und N-Phenyl-2-(chinolin-2-ylmethylen)hydrazin-1-carbothioamid synthetisiert, die mit längeren Alkylketten funktionalisiert wurden, um eine hohe Affinität für Lipid-basierte Microbubbles als Träger zu erreichen, aus denen die Metallkomplexe dann unter Einwirkung von Ultraschall freigesetzt werden sollten. Es wurden drei verschiedene Ligandenfamilien ausgehend von der Grundstruktur L = R1-CR2=N-NH-C(S)-NH-R3 synthetisiert, wobei R1 = 2-Pyridyl oder 2-Chinolinyl, R2 = H, CH3, C8H17 oder C10H21 und R3 = CH3 oder C6H5 gewählt wurden. Die Umsetzung der Liganden mit Kaliumtetrachloridoplatinat(II), Natriumtetrachloridopalladat(II) oder [PdCl2(cod)] mit cod = 1,5-Cyclooctadien führte zu neutralen N^N^S-Komplexen [MCl(L)] mit M = Pd, Pt in allgemein guter Ausbeute. Die Kristallstruktur von [PtCl(L)] mit R1 = 2-Pyridyl, R2 = C10H21 und R3 = CH3 bestätigte zudem die quadratisch-planar Koordination des Metalls durch den N^N^S-koordinierten Liganden und ein Chlorid-Anion. Die Verbindungen mit R3 = CH3 zeigen im 195Pt NMR zwei Peaks, was auf das Vorliegen eines Isomerengemischs hindeutet, wobei die Daten vermuten lassen, dass neben der N^N^S-gebundenen Hauptspezies noch eine weitere mit N^N^N-koordiniertem Liganden und freier SH-Gruppe vorliegt. Solche Isomerengemische sind für biologischen Anwendungen ungeeignet, da die Isomere eine unterschiedliche Aktivität aufweisen können. Die anderen Platin(II)-Komplexe zeigen dagegen im 195Pt NMR nur einen Peak und sind somit für Cytotoxizitätsstudien geeignet. Mit Hilfe des MTT-Assays wurden EC50-Werte an verschiedenen Gliablastom-Zellinien für zwölf einheitliche Komplexe bestimmt. Für die potentesten Verbindungen wurden EC50-Werte im unteren mikromolaren Bereich ermittelt (2–9 µM), so dass die Aktivität teilweise sogar die von Cisplatin als Referenzverbindung übertraf. Insbesondere die Variation der aromatischen Oberfläche in den Pyridyl- vs. Chinolinylverbindungen hatte jedoch keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die EC50-Werte. Zudem führte eine Verlängerung der R2-Seitenkette bei den Palladium(II)-Verbindungen zu einer niedrigeren Aktivität. Die Verteilungskoeffizienten logP ergaben für alle Verbindungen recht ähnliche positive Werte, was die Lipophilie der Neutralkomplexe belegte. Für eine weitere Strukturvariation wurden außerdem zwei Azido-Komplexe [M(N3)(L)] mit M = Pd, Pt in moderater Ausbeute synthetisiert. Diese wurden dann in einer „iClick“-Reaktion unter sehr milden Bedingungen mit Dimethylacetylendicarboxylat (DMAD) und 4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-insäureethylester zu den Triazolat-Komplexen [M(triazolateR,R')(L)] umgesetzt. Durch 1H NMR- und 19F NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen wurden gezeigt, dass diese teilweise als Isomerengemische vorliegen, da das Triazolat entweder über das N1-, N2- oder N3-Stickstoffatom an das Metall gebunden sein kann. Für eine ausgewählte Verbindung mit M = Pt und DMAD als Alkin wurde die Kinetik der „iClick“-Reaktion mit Hilfe der 1H NMR Spektroskopie untersucht. Die ermittelte Geschwindigkeitskonstante 2. Ordnung k2 = (1.82 ± 0.05).10-1 L mol-1 s 1 ist vergleichbar zum Beispiel der der etablierten strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). Für die Einbettung der lipophilen Metallkomplexe in ein Ultraschall-aktivierbares Trägersystem wurden aus Dipalmytoylphosphatidylcholin, 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphat, 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamin-N-methoxy(polyethylenglycol)-2000 Ammonium Salz und Komplexlösung unter Zusatz von Octafluopropan gasgefüllte Microbubbles hergestellt. Stabilitätsversuche zeigten, dass die Bläschenzahl selbst unter Normalbedingungen innerhalb von 2 h um 50% abnimmt. Daher sollten die Microbubbles vor jeder Verwendung täglich frisch hergestellt und möglichst unmittelbar danach verwendet werden. Ein unmittelbares Zerplatzen der Bläschen wurde durch Behandlung mit Ultraschall bei 500 Hz erreicht. Die Viabilität der verwendeten GaMG-Zellen wudre unter diesen Bedingungen jedoch nicht beeinträchtigt. Dennoch war die auf die Microbubbles geladene Platin-Konzentration zu niedrig, um mit dem MTT-Assay einen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen beladenen und unbeladenen Bläschen zu erreichen, so dass hier in Zukunft noch weitere Optimierungen erforderlich sein werden.
Hexahydro-sila-difenidoJ and eight analogues behaved as simple cumpetitive inhibitors of eHJN·methyl·scopoJamine binding to homogenates frorn human neuroblastoma NB-OK 1 cells (M\(_1\) sites), rat heart (M\(_2\) sites), rat pancreas (M\(_3\) sites), and rat striatum 'B' sites (M\(_4\) sites). Pyrrolidino- and hexamethyleneimino analogues showed the same sekctivity profile as the parent compound. Hexahydro-sila-difenidol methiodide and the methiodide of p-fluoro-hexahydro·sila-difenidol had a fügher affinity but a lower selectivity than the tertiary amines. Compounds containing a p·methoxy, p-chJoro or p-fluoro substituent in the phenyl ring of hexahydro-sila-difenidol showed a qualitative)y similar selectivity profile as the parent compound (i.e., M\(_1\)= M\(_3\) = M\(_4\) >M\(_2\) ), but up to 16-fold lower affinities. o-Methoxy-hexahydro-sila-difenidol has a lower affinity than hexahydro-sila-difeni.:!o! at the four binding sites. lts selectivity profile (M\(_4\) > M\(_1\), M\(_3\) > M\(_2\) ) was different from hexahydro-sila-difenidol. Replacement of the centrat silicon atom of hexahydro-sila-difenidol, p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol and thdr quatemary (N-methylated) analogues by a carbon atom did not change their binding affinities significantly. The iour muscarinic receptors showed a higher affinity for the (R)- than for the (S)-enantiomers of hexahydro-difenidol, p-fluorohexahydro-difenidol and their methiodides. The stereoselectivity varied depending on the receptor subtype and drug considered.
l In an attempt to assess the structural requirements for the musearlnie receptor selectivity of hexahydro-diphenidol (hexahydro-difenidol) and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol (hexahydro-sila-difenidol), a serles of structurally related C/Si pairs were investigated, along with atropine, pirenzepine and methoctramine, for their binding affinities in NB-OK 1 cells as well as in rat heart and pancreas. 2 The action of these antagonists at musearlnie receptors mediating negative inotropic responses in guinea-pig atrla and ileal contractions has also been assessed. 3 Antagonist binding data indicated that NB-OK 1 cells (M\(_1\) type) as weil as rat heart (cardiac type) and pancreas (glandularjsmooth muscle type) possess different muscarinic receptor subtypes. 4 A highly significant correlation was found between the binding affinities of the antagonists to muscarinic receptors in rat heart and pancreas, respectively, and the affinities to muscarinic receptors in guinea-pig atria and ileum. This implies that the musearlnie binding sites in rat heart and the receptors in guinea-pig atrla are essentially similar, but different from those in pancreas and ileum. 5 The antimuscarinic potency of hexahydro-diphenidol and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol at the three subtypes was inftuenced differently by structural modifications (e.g. quaternization). Different selectivity profiles for the antagonists were obtained, which makes these compounds useful tools to investigate further muscarinic receptor heterogeneity. lndeed, the tertiary analogues hexahydrodiphenidol (HHD) and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol (HHSiD) bad an M\(_1\) = glandularjsmooth muscle > cardiac selectivity profile, whereas the quaternary analogues HHD methiodide and HHSiD methiodide were M\(_1\) preferring (M\(_1\) > glandularjsmooth muscle, cardiac).
1 We have compared the binding properties of several hexocyclium and sila-hexocyclium derivatives to muscarinic Ml receptors (in rat brain, human neuroblastoma (NB-OK I) cells and calf superior cervical ganglia), rat heart M2 receptors, rat pancreas M3 receptors and M4 receptors in rat striatum, with their functional antimuscarinic properties in rabbit vas deferens (Ml/M4-like), guinea-pig atria (M2), and guinea-pig ileum (M3) muscarinic receptors.
2 Si la-substitution (C/Si exchange) of hexocyclium (~ sila-hexocyclium) and demethyl-hexocyclium (~demethyl-sila-hexocyclium) did not significantly affect their affinities for muscarinic receptors. By contrast, sila-substitution of demethoxy-hexocyclium increased its affinity 2 to 3 fold for all the muscarinic receptor subtypes studied.
3 The p-fluoro- and p-chloro-derivatives of sila-hexocyclium had lower affinities than the parent
compound at the four receptor subtypes, in binding and pharmacological studies.
4 In binding studies, o-methoxy-sila-hexocyclium (Ml = M4 ~ M3 ~ M2) had a much lower affinity than sila-hexocyclium for the four receptor subtypes, and discriminated the receptor subtypes more poorly than sila-hexocyclium (Ml = M3> M4> M2)' This is in marked contrast with the very clear selectivity of demethoxy-sila-hexocyclium for the prejunctional MtlM4-like heteroreceptors in rabbit vas deferens.
5 The tertiary amines demethyl-hexocyclium, demethyl-sila-hexocyclium and demethyl-o-methoxy-silahexocyclium had 10 to 30 fold lower affinities than the corresponding quaternary ammonium derivatives.
Das Zwitterionische spirocyclische Bis(2,3-naphthalindiolato )[2-(pyrrolidinio )ethyl)silicat [( C\(_{10}\)H\(_6\)O\(_2\)-SiCH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)(H)NC\(_4\)H\(_8\), 3) wurde synthetisiert und strukturell charakterisiert (Einkristallröntgenstrukturanalyse von 3·CH\(_3\)CN; \(^1\)H-, \(^{13}\)C- und \(^{29}\)Si-NMR-Untersuchungen von Lösungen in DMSO). 3 wurde durch Reaktion von Cyclohexylmethoxyphenyl(2·pyrrolidinoetbyl)silan [C\(_6\)H\(_{11}\)(CH\(_3\)O)Si(C\(_6\)H\(_5\))CH\(_2\)CH\(_2\) NC\(_4\)H\(_8\), 4] mit 2,3-Dihydroxynaphthalin [C\(_{10}\)H\(_6\)(OH)\(_2\)] in Acetonitril bei Raumtemperatur erhalten (isoliert als 3·CH\(_3\)CN, Ausbeute 81%). Der Bildung von 3 liegen zwei ungewöhnliche Si-eSpaltungen zugrunde (Spaltung von Si-C\(_6\)H\(_5\) und Si-C\(_6\)H\(_{11}\) unter milden Reaktionsbedingungen). 3 wurde auch durch Reaktion von 2,3-Dibydroxynaphthalin mit Dimethoxyphenyl(2-pyrrolidinoethyl)silan [C\(_6\)H\(_5\) (CH\(_3\)O)\(_2\)SiCH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)NC\(_4\)H\(_8\), 5) bzw.

Bis( 4-fluorophenyl)methyl(l H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)germane (2), a germanium analogue of the agricultural fungicide flusilazole (1), has been synthesized from Cl\(_3\)GeCH\(_2\)CI (3) by both a three-step and a four-step synthesis (3-> (p-F-C\(_6\)H\(_4\))\(_2\)Ge(CH\(_2\)Cl)Br (4)-> (p-F-C\(_6\)H\(_4\))\(_2\)Ge(CH\(_2\)CI)CH\(_3\) (S)-> 2; S ~ (p-F-C\(_6\)H\(_4\))\(_2\)Ge(CH\(_2\)I)CH\(_3\) (6)-> l). The fungicidal properties of l have been compared with those of the parent silicon compound 1 (studies on Si/Ge bioisosterism). In various test systems, the SijGe analogues 1 and 2 showed comparable fungicidal properlies (in activity against plant pathogenic fungi: in agar plate diffusion tests and greenhause evaluations; in activity against human pathogenic fungi: in serial dilution tests). In addition, 1 and 2 displayed comparable potencies in respect of sterol biosynthesis inhibition in Sacclulromycopsis üpolytica and Pyricularia oryzae, the mode of action being primarily an inhtbition of oxidative C14-demethylation.
We report four new luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors that show high binding affinities, in several cases even in the nanomolar range. Three of the compounds contain substituted, highly emissive and structurally flexible bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl-4-ethynyl)arene linkers (3: arene=5,5′-2,2′-bithiophene; 4: arene=1,4-benzene; 5: arene=9,10-anthracene) between the two boryl moieties and serve as efficient dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores. The shorter analogue 6 employs 9,10-anthracene as the linker and demonstrates the importance of an adequate linker length with a certain level of flexibility by exhibiting generally lower binding affinities than 3–5. Pronounced aggregation–deaggregation processes are observed in fluorimetric titration experiments with DNA for compounds 3 and 5. Molecular modelling of complexes of 5 with AT-DNA, suggest the minor groove as the dominant binding site for monomeric 5, but demonstrate that dimers of 5 can also be accommodated. Strong SERS responses for 3–5 versus a very weak response for 6, particularly the strong signals from anthracene itself observed for 5 but not for 6, demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. The energy of the characteristic stretching vibration of the C≡C bonds is significantly dependent on the aromatic moiety between the triple bonds. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two C≡C bonds thus offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores, applicable in multiplex biological Raman imaging.
Bis(μ-diisopropyl-phosphanido-\(κ^2\)P:P)bis-[hydrido(triisopropyl-phosphane-κP)platinum(II)]
(2012)
In the centrosymmetric molecular structure of the title compound \([Pt_2(C_6H_{14}P)_2H_2)(C_9H_{21}P)_2]\), each \(Pt^{II}\) atom is bound on one side to a phosphane ligand \((PiPr_3)\) and a hydrido ligand. On the other side, it is bound to two phosphanide ligands \((μ-PiPr_2)\), which engage a bridging position between the two \(Pt^{II}\) atoms, forming a distorted square-planar structure motif. The PtPt distance is 3.6755(2)Å. A comparable molecular structure was observed for bis-(μ-di-tert-butyl-phosphanido)bis-[hydrido(triethyl-phosphane)platinum(II)] [Itazaki et al. (2004 ). Organometallics, 23, 1610-1621].
The zwitterionic spirocyclic \(\lambda_5\)-germanate bis(2,3-naphthalenediolato( 2-)](pyrrolidiniomethyl)germanate (8) was synthesized and the crystal structure of its tetartoacetonitrile solvate 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 8 was prepared by reaction of (MeO)\(_3\)GeCH\(_2\)NC\(_4\)H\(_8\) (11; NC\(_4\)H\(_8\) = pyrrolidino) with two equivalents of 2,3-naphthalenediol (isolated as 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN; yield 92%). The coordination polyhedron around the pentacoordi- naphthalenediolatonate germanium atom of 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN can be described as a strongly distorted trigonal bipyramid (the structure is displaced by 38.9% from the ideal trigonal bipyrarnid towards the ideal square pyramid), the carbon atom occupying an equatorial position. In the crystal lattice of 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN, the zwitterions form intermolecular N-H ... o hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of dimers. 1H- and \(^{13}\C-NMR studies revealed that 8 also exists in solution ([D\(_6\)]DMSO).
Single crystal X-ray studies on bis[3,4,5,6-tetrabromo-1 ,2-benzenediolato(2- )](pyrrolidiniomethyl)silicate acetonitrile solvate [(C6Br40 2hSiCH2(H)NC4H8 · CH3CN; monoclinic, P2t/c, a = 808.5(4), b = 1533.0(8), c = 2212.6(1) pm, ß = 97.67(2)0 , Z = 4] revealed a zwitterionic structure with a pentacoordinate, formally negatively charged silicon atom and a positively charged ammonium moiety. The silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms and one carbon atom in a trigonalbipyramidal fashion, with the carbon atom in an equatorial position. The structure is displaced by 7.0% from the trigonal bipyramid towards the square pyramid. The zwitterion and the CH3CN molecule form intermolecular N-H · · · N hydrogen bonds.
Bismuth Amides Mediate Facile and Highly Selective Pn–Pn Radical‐Coupling Reactions (Pn=N, P, As)
(2021)
The controlled release of well‐defined radical species under mild conditions for subsequent use in selective reactions is an important and challenging task in synthetic chemistry. We show here that simple bismuth amide species [Bi(NAr\(_2\))\(_3\)] readily release aminyl radicals [NAr\(_2\)]. at ambient temperature in solution. These reactions yield the corresponding hydrazines, Ar\(_2\)N−NAr\(_2\), as a result of highly selective N−N coupling. The exploitation of facile homolytic Bi−Pn bond cleavage for Pn−Pn bond formation was extended to higher homologues of the pnictogens (Pn=N–As): homoleptic bismuth amides mediate the highly selective dehydrocoupling of HPnR\(_2\) to give R\(_2\)Pn−PnR\(_2\). Analyses by NMR and EPR spectroscopy, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and DFT calculations reveal low Bi−N homolytic bond‐dissociation energies, suggest radical coupling in the coordination sphere of bismuth, and reveal electronic and steric parameters as effective tools to control these reactions.
Bis‐NHC Aluminium and Gallium Dihydride Cations [(NHC)\(_{2}\)EH\(_{2}\)]\(^{+}\) (E = Al, Ga)
(2020)
The NHC alane and gallane adducts (NHC)·AlH\(_{2}\)I (NHC = Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 7, iPr\(_{2}\)Im 8, iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 9) and (NHC)·GaH\(_{2}\)I (NHC = Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 10, iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 11, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im 12; R\(_{2}\)Im = 1,3‐di‐organyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene; Dipp = 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl; iPr = isopropyl; Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) = 1,3,4,5‐tetra‐methyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene) were prepared either by the simple yet efficient reaction of the NHC adduct (NHC)·AlH\(_{3}\) with elemental iodine or by the treatment of (NHC)·GaH\(_{3}\) with an excess of methyl iodide at room temperature. The reaction of one equivalent of the group 13 NHC complexes with an additional equivalent of the corresponding NHC afforded cationic aluminium and gallium hydrides [(NHC)\(_{2}\)·AlH\(_{2}\)]\(^{+}\)I− (NHC = Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 13, iPr\(_{2}\)Im 14, iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 15) and [(NHC)\(_{2}\)·GaH\(_{2}\)]\(^{+}\)I− (NHC = Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 16, iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) 17) and the normal and abnormal NHC coordinated compound [(Dipp\(_{2}\)Im)·GaH\(_{2}\)(aDipp\(_{2}\)Im)]+I− 18. Compounds 7–18 were isolated and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and by X‐ray diffraction of the compounds 7, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 18.
The synthesis, photophysical, and electrochemical properties of selectively mono-, bis- and tris-dimethylamino- and trimethylammonium-substituted bis-triarylborane bithiophene chromophores are presented along with the water solubility and singlet oxygen sensitizing efficiency of the cationic compounds Cat\(^{1+}\), Cat\(^{2+}\), Cat(i)\(^{2+}\), and Cat\(^{3+}\). Comparison with the mono-triarylboranes reveals the large influence of the bridging unit on the properties of the bis-triarylboranes, especially those of the cationic compounds. Based on these preliminary investigations, the interactions of Cat\(^{1+}\), Cat\(^{2+}\), Cat(i)\(^{2+}\), and Cat\(^{3+}\) with DNA, RNA, and DNApore were investigated in buffered solutions. The same compounds were investigated for their ability to enter and localize within organelles of human lung carcinoma (A549) and normal lung (WI38) cells showing that not only the number of charges but also their distribution over the chromophore influences interactions and staining properties.
Blending different low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) provides a convenient route to tune the properties of a gel and incorporate functionalities such as fluorescence. Blending a series of gelators having a common bis-urea motif, and functionalised with different amino acid-derived end-groups and differing length alkylene spacers is reported. Fluorescent gelators incorporating 1- and 2-pyrenyl moieties provide a probe of the mixed systems alongside structural and morphological data from powder diffraction and electron microscopy. Characterisation of the individual gelators reveals that although the expected α-urea tape motif is preserved, there is considerable variation in the gelation properties, molecular packing, fibre morphology and rheological behaviour. Mixing of the gelators revealed examples in which: 1) the gels formed separate, orthogonal networks maintaining their own packing and morphology, 2) the gels blended together into a single network, either adopting the packing and morphology of one gelator, or 3) a new structure not seen for either of the gelators individually was created. The strong binding of the urea functionalities to anions was exploited as a means of breaking down the gel structure, and the use of fluorescent gel blends provides new insights into anion-mediated gel dissolution.
While polysulfones constitute a class of well‐established, highly valuable applied materials, knowledge about polymers based on the related sulfoximine group is very limited. We have employed functionalized diaryl sulfoximines and a p ‐phenylene bisborane as building blocks for unprecedented BN‐ and BO‐doped alternating inorganic–organic hybrid copolymers. While the former were accessed by a facile silicon/boron exchange protocol, the synthesis of polymers with main‐chain B–O linkages was achieved by salt elimination.
Within this thesis, the analysis and hence the better comprehension of the chemical bond within metal–element compounds is the central topic. By use of various DFT methods a selection of M–E interactions have been modeled and analyzed via Bader’s QTAIM, the ELF and NBO techniques. Special focus was set on a series of transition metal borylene and carbene complexes, and the Li–C bonds as representatives for main group organometallics. Therefore, this thesis is split into three parts:(I) An introduction reviewing the quantum chemical machinery as well as the analysis tools applied for the evaluation of chemical bonds. (II) Within the second part the chemical interactions taking place in transition metal complexes are studied focusing on borylenes and cognate carbenes. (III) In Part III, a broad overview of the appropriate modeling and nature of the Li–C bond as well as intermolecular interactions in methyllithium is provided.
Among the parent borirane, benzoborirene and ortho‐dicarbadodecaborane‐fused borirane, the latter possesses the highest ring strain and the highest Lewis acidity according to our density functional theory (DFT) studies. The synthesis of this class of compounds is thus considerably challenging. The existing examples require either a strong π‐donating group or an extra ligand for B‐coordination, which nevertheless suppresses or completely turns off the Lewis acidity. The title compound, which possesses both features, not only allows the 1,2‐insertion of P=O, C=O or C≡N to proceed under milder conditions, but also enables the heretofore unknown dearomative 1,4‐insertion of Ar−(C=O)− into a B−C bond. The fusion of strained molecular systems to an o‐carborane cage shows great promise for boosting both the ring strain and acidity.
Diplatinum A‐frame complexes with a bridging (di)boron unit in the apex position were synthesized in a single step by the double oxidative addition of dihalo(di)borane precursors at a bis(diphosphine)‐bridged Pt\(^{0}\)\(_{2}\) complex. While structurally analogous to well‐known μ‐borylene complexes, in which delocalized dative three‐center‐two‐electron M‐B‐M bonding prevails, theoretical investigations into the nature of Pt−B bonding in these A‐frame complexes show them to be rare dimetalla(di)boranes displaying two electron‐sharing Pt−B σ‐bonds. This is experimentally reflected in the low kinetic stability of these compounds, which are prone to loss of the (di)boron bridgehead unit.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Synthese neuer Borolderivate des Typs Ph4C4BR' (R' = Substituent am Borzentrum). Zudem wurde die Reaktivität ausgewählter Borole gegenüber Lewis-Basen, gesättigten und ungesättigten Substraten sowie unter Reduktionsbedingungen untersucht. Auf diese Weise konnten neue Strategien für die Synthese von Bor-haltigen konjugierten Systemen erschlossen werden. Alle wichtigen Strukturmotive wurden durch Multikern-NMR-Spektroskopie in Lösung sowie durch Einkristall-Röntgenstrukturanalyse im Festkörper charakterisiert.
Cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene-stabilized (cyano)hydroboryl anions were synthesized by deprotonation of (cyano)dihydroborane precursors. While they display boron-centered nucleophilic reactivity towards organohalides, generating fully unsymmetrically substituted cyano(hydro)organoboranes, they show cyano-nitrogen-centered nucleophilic reactivity towards haloboranes, resulting in the formation of hitherto unknown linear 2-aza-1,4-diborabutatrienes.
Project Borylene
A new borylene ligand ({BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}) has been successfully synthesized bound in a terminal manner to base metal scaffolds of the type [M(CO)\(_5\)] (M = Cr, Mo, and W), yielding complexes [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (19), [(OC)\(_5\)Mo{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t- Bu)}] (20), and [(OC)\(_5\)W{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (21) (Figure 5-1). Synthesis of complexes 19, 20, and 21 was accomplished by double salt elimination reactions of Na\(_2\)[M(CO)\(_5\)] (M = Cr (11), Mo (1), and W (12)) with the dihaloborane Br\(_2\)BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu) (18). This new “first generation” unsymmetrical borylene ligand is closely akin to the bis(trimethylsilyl)aminoborylene ligand and has been shown to display similar structural characteristics and reactivity. The unsymmetrical borylene ligand {BN((SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)} does display some individual characteristics of note and has experimentally been shown to undergo photolytic transfer to transition metal scaffolds in a more rapid manner, and appears to be a more reactive borylene ligand, than the previously published symmetrical {BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)} ligand, based on NMR and IR spectroscopic evidence.
Photolytic transfer reactions with this new borylene ligand ({BN((SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}) were conducted with other metal scaffolds, resulting in either complete borylene transfer or partial transfer to form bridging borylene ligand interactions between the two transition metals. The unsymmetrical ligand’s coordination to early transition metals (up to Group 6) indicates a preference for a terminal coordination motif while bound to these highly Lewis acidic species. The ligand appears to form more energetically stable bridging coordination modes when bound to transition metals with high Lewis basicity (beyond Group 9) and has been witnessed to transfer to transition metal scaffolds in a terminal manner and subsequently rearrange in order to achieve a more energetically stable bridging final state.
Figure 5-2 lists the four different transfer reactions conducted between the chromium borylene species [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (19) and the transition metal complexes [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\))V(CO)\(_4\)] (51), [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)Me\(_5\))Ir(CO)\(_2\)] (56), [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_4\)Me)Co(CO)\(_2\)] (59), and [{(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\))Ni}\(_2\){μ-(CO)\(_2\)}] (53). These reactions successfully yielded the new “second generation” borylene complexes [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\))(OC)\(_3\)V{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (55), [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)Me\(_5\))Ir{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}\(_2\)] (58), [{(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_4\)Me)Co}\(_2\)(μ-CO)\(_2\){μ- BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (61), and [{(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\))Ni}\(_2\)(μ-CO){μ-BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (62), respectively.
Analysis of the accumulated data for all of the terminal borylene species discussed in this section, particularly bond distances, infrared spectroscopy, and \(^{11}\)B{\(^1\)H} NMR spectroscopic data, has been performed, and a trend in the data has led to the following conclusions:
[1] NMR spectroscopic data for the \(^{11}\)B{\(^1\)H} boron and \(^{13}\)C{\(^1\)H} carbonyl environments of the first generation borylene species ([(OC)\(_5\)M{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (M = Cr (19), Mo (20), and W (21))) all show progressive up-field shifting as the Group 6 metal becomes heavier (Cr (19) to Mo (20) to W (21)), indicating maximum deshielding for these nuclei in the [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (19) complex.
[2] The boron-metal-trans-carbon (B-M-C\(_{trans}\)) axes of the first generation borylene complexes [(OC)\(_5\)M{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (M = Mo (20), and W (21)) are not completely linear, preventing direct IR spectroscopic comparison. The chromium analog [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (19), however, is essentially linear and displays the expected three carbonyl IR stretching frequencies, all at higher energy than those of the chromium bis(trimethylsilyl)aminoborylene complex [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)}] (13), indicating that the ({BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}) ligand is either a stronger σ-donor or a poorer π-acceptor compared to the chromium metal center.
[3] In transfer reactions, the {BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)} fragment appears to be more stable as a terminal ligand when bound to more Lewis acidic first row transition metals and appears to prefer coordination in a bridging motif when coordinated to more Lewis basic first row transition metals.
Project Borirene
The synthesis of the first platinum bis(borirene) complexes are presented along with findings from structural and electronic examination of the role of platinum in allowing increased coplanarity and conjugation of twin borirene systems. This series of trans-platinum-linked bis(borirene) complexes (119/120, 122/123, and 125/126) all show coplanarity in the twin ring systems and stand as the first verified structural representations of two coplanar borirene systems across a linking unit. The role of a platinum atom in mediating communication between chromophoric ligands can be generalized by an expected bathochromic (red) shift in the absorption spectrum due to an increase in the electronic delocalization between the formerly independent aromatic systems when compared to the platinum mono-σ-borirenyl systems. The trans-platinum bis(borirene) scaffold serves as a simplified monomeric system that allows not only study of the effects of transition metals in mitigating electronic conjugation, but also the tunability of the overall photophysical profile of the system by exocyclic augmentation of the three-membered aromatic ring.
A series of trans-platinum bis(alkynyl) complexes were prepared (Figure 5-3) to serve as stable platforms to transfer terminal borylene ligands {BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)} onto 95, 102, 106, and 63. Mixing of cis-[PtCl\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (93) with two equivalents of corresponding alkynes in diethylamine solutions successfully yielded trans-[Pt(C≡C-Ph)\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (95), trans-[Pt(C≡C-p-C\(_6\)H\(_4\)OMe)\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (102), trans-[Pt(C≡C-p-C\(_6\)H\(_4\)CF\(_3\))\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)](106), and trans-[Pt(C≡C-9-C\(_{14}\)H\(_9\))\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (63) through salt elimination reactions.
Three of the trans-platinum bis(alkynyl) complexes (95, 102, and 106) successfully yielded trans-platinum bis(borirenyl) complexes 119/120, 122/123, and 125/126 through photolytic transfer of two equivalents of the terminal borylene ligand {BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)} from [(OC)\(_5\)Cr{BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)}] (13) (Figure 5-4). Attempted borylene transfer reactions to the trans-platinum bis(alkynyl) complex trans-[Pt(C≡C-9-C\(_{14}\)H\(_9\))\(_2\)(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (63) failed due to the complex’s photoinstability. Although a host of other variants of platinum alkynyl species were prepared and attempted, these three were the only ones that successfully yielded trans-platinum bis(borirenyl) units. Attempts were also made to create a cis variant for direct UV-vis comparison to the trans-platinum bis(borirenyl) variants, however, these attempts were also not successful. Gladysz-type platinum end-capped alkynyl species were also synthesized to serve as transfer platforms for borirene synthesis in sequential order, however, these species were also shown to not be photolytically stable.
A host of new monoborirenes: Ph-(μ-{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}C=C)-Ph (148), trans- [PtCl{(μ-{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}C=C)-Ph}(PEt\(_3\))\(_2\)] (149), and [(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)Me\(_5\))(OC)\(_2\)Fe(μ- {BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}C=C)Ph] (150) were synthesized by photo- and thermolytic transfer of the unsymmetrical {BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)} ligand from the complexes [(OC)\(_5\)M{BN(SiMe\(_3\))(t-Bu)}] (M = Cr (19), Mo (20), and W (21)) to organic and organometallic alkynyl species to verify that the borylene complexes all display similar reactivity to the symmetrical terminal borylenes of the type [(OC)\(_5\)M{BN(SiMe\(_3\))\(_2\)}] (M = Cr (13), Mo (14), and W (15)). These monoborirenes are all found to be oils when in their pure states and X-ray structural determination was impossible for these species.
Project Boratabenzene
The bis(boratabenzene) complex [{(η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\))Co}\(_2\){μ:η\(^6\),η\(^6\)-(BC\(_5\)H\(_5\))\(_2\)}] (189) was successfully prepared by treatment of tetrabromodiborane (65) with six equivalents of cobaltocene (176) in a unique reaction that utilized cobaltocene as both a reagent and reductant (Figure 5-5). The bimetallic transition metal complex features a new bridging bis(boratabenzene) ligand linked through a boron-boron single bond that can manifest delocalization of electron density by providing an accessible LUMO orbital for π-communication between the cobalt centers and heteroaromatic rings.
This dianionic diboron ligand was shown to facilitate electronic coupling between the cobalt metal sites, as evidenced by the potential separations between successive single-electron redox events in the cyclic voltammogram. Four formal redox potentials for complex 189 were found: E\(_{1/2}\)(1) = −0.84 V, E\(_{1/2}\)(2) = −0.94 V, E\(_{1/2}\)(3) = −2.09 V, and E\(_{1/2}\)(4) = −2.36 V (relative to the Fc/Fc+ couple) (Figure 5-6). These potentials correlate to two closely-spaced oxidation waves and two well-resolved reduction waves ([(189)]\(^{0/+1}\), [(189)]\(^{+1/+2}\), [(189)]\(^{0/–1}\), and [(189)]\(^{–1/–2}\) redox couples, respectively). The extent of metal-metal communication was found to be relative to the charge of the metal atoms, with the negative charge being more efficiently delocalized across the bis(boratabenzene) unit (class II Robin-Day system). Magnetic studies indicate that the Co(II) ions are weakly antiferromagnetically coupled across the B-B bridge.
While reduction of the bis(boratabenzene) system resulted in decomposition of the complex, oxidation of the system by one- and two-electron steps resulted in isolable stable monocationic (194) and dicationic (195) forms of the bis(boratabenzene) complex (Figure 5-7). Study of these systems verified the results of the cyclic voltammetry studies performed on the neutral species. These species are unfortunately not stable in acetonitrile or nitromethane solutions, which until this point are the only solvents that have been observed to dissolve the cationic species. Unfortunately, this instability in solution complicates reactivity studies of these cationic complexes.
Finally, reactivity studies were performed on the neutral bis(boratabenzene) complex 189 in which the compound was tested for: (A) cleavage of the boratabenzene (cyclo-BC\(_5\)H\(_5\)) ring from the cobalt center, and (B) oxidative addition of the B-B bond to a transition metal scaffold to attempt synthesis of the first ever L\(_x\)M-η\(^1\)-(BC\(_5\)H\(_5\)) complex. Both of these reactivity studies, however, proved unsuccessful and typically witnessed decomposition of the bis(boratabenzene) complex or no reactivity. After repeated attempts of these reactions, no oxidative addition of the bis(boratabenzene) system could be confirmed.
Boron's unique position in the Periodic Table, that is, at the apex of the line separating metals and nonmetals, makes it highly versatile in chemical reactions and applications. Contemporary demand for renewable and clean energy as well as energy‐efficient products has seen boron playing key roles in energy‐related research, such as 1) activating and synthesizing energy‐rich small molecules, 2) storing chemical and electrical energy, and 3) converting electrical energy into light. These applications are fundamentally associated with boron's unique characteristics, such as its electron‐deficiency and the availability of an unoccupied p orbital, which allow the formation of a myriad of compounds with a wide range of chemical and physical properties. For example, boron's ability to achieve a full octet of electrons with four covalent bonds and a negative charge has led to the synthesis of a wide variety of borate anions of high chemical and electrochemical stability—in particular, weakly coordinating anions. This Review summarizes recent advances in the study of boron compounds for energy‐related processes and applications.
Die Reaktion der Verbindungen trans-[Pt{B(Br)(R)}Br(PCy3)2] mit Lewis-aciden Bromboranen BBr2(R) liefert Bromo-verbrückte, zweikernige Borylkomplexe. Sowie die jeweiligen Phosphan–Boran-Addukte Cy3P–BBr2(R). Die Reaktion von [Pt{B(X)(R)}(-X)(PCy3)]2 mit 4-Picolin erfolgt unter Koordination der Base am Boratom unter formaler Halogenidverschiebung zur Entstehung der ersten neutralen, basenstabilisierten Borylenkomplexe cis-[Pt{B(R)(4-Pic)}X2(PCy3)]. Durch oxidative Addition der B–Cl-Bindung von BCl3 an [Pt(PCy3)2] ist trans-[Pt(BCl2)Cl(PCy3)2] zugänglich, welches durch Reaktion mit Na[BArf4] zum kationischen Borylkomplex trans-[Pt(BCl2)(PCy3)2][BArf4] umgesetzt wird. Durch die strukturelle Charakterisierung von trans-[Pt{B(Br)(Fc)}Br(PiPr3)2] und trans-[Pt{B(Br)(Fc)}(PiPr3)2][BArf4] kann gezeigt werden, dass der Borylligand {B(Br)(Fc)} durch das {Pt(PiPr3)2}-Fragment in einem neutralen sowie in einem kationischen, T-förmigen Komplex stabilisiert werden kann. Die Reaktion von trans-[Pt{B(Br)(NMe2)}(PCy3)2][BArf4] mit Acetonitril führt zur Bildung des kationischen Acetonitrilkomplexes trans-[Pt{B(Br)(NMe2)}(NCMe)(PCy3)2][BArf4]. Durch die Reaktion von trans-[Pt{B(Br)(NMe2)}Br(PCy3)2] mit Na2[B12Cl12] im Verhältnis 2:1 und Zugabe von Acetonitril wird trans-[Pt{B(Br)(NMe2)}(NCMe)(PCy3)2]2[B12Cl12] als erste kationische, metallorganische Verbindung, die durch [B12Cl12]2− stabilisiert wird, erhalten. Die Abstraktion des Bromoliganden aus trans-[Pt{B(4-Pic)(NMe2)}Br(PCy3)2][BArf4] mittels Na[BArf4] führt zur Bildung des ersten dikationischen 14-Elektronenkomplexes trans- [Pt{B(NMe2)(4-Pic)}(PCy3)2][BArf4]2 mit einer freien Koordinationsstelle. Die Reaktion von trans-[Pt(BCat’)Br(PCy3)2] mit MeLi liefert trans-[Pt(BCat’)Me(PCy3)2]. Die Anwesenheit von Alkinen oder Bisphosphanen (P–P) beschleunigt die Reduktive Eliminierung von CatBMe. Die Reaktion von trans–[Pt(BCat’)Me(PCy3)2] mit Cat2B2 führt zu einem Reaktionsgemisch, welches auf einen komplexen Reaktionsverlauf schließen lässt. Diese Prozesse verlaufen assoziativ. Es werden zwei mögliche Reaktionsmechanismen vorgeschlagen. Dies sind I) die reduktive Eliminierungsreaktion aus einem anfänglich gebildeten, hexakoordinierten Platinkomplex und II) eine -Bindungsmetathese der B–B- mit der Pt–C- Bindung. Die oxidative Addition von Cat2B2 an [Pt(PCy3)3] erfolgt reversibel. Die strukturellen Parameter des Bisborylkomplexes im Kristall deuten auf einen sterisch überfrachteten cis-Bis(boryl)komplex mit relativ schwach gebundenen Borylliganden hin. Das neuartige Phosphan P(CH2Cy)3, welches sich durch einen flexiblen sterischen Anspruch auszeichnet, wird als Ligand in niedervalenten Phosphankomplexen eingesetzt. Der Platinkomplex reagiert mit 1,3,5-(C6H3)(BBr2)3 selektiv zu 1,3,5-trans-[Pt(BBr)Br{P(CH2Cy)3}2]3(C6H3), dem ersten Tris(boryl)komplex. Die Bis- und Tris(phosphan)rhodium(I)-Komplexe, welche im Überschuss mit Phosphan im Gleichgewicht vorliegen, reagieren mit CatBH zu trans-[Rh(BCat)ClH{P(CH2Cy)3}2]. [Pt(PCy3)2] reagiert mit CatBH in einer cis-selektiv verlaufenden Reaktion. Die Reaktion von [Pt{P(CH2Cy)3}2] mit CatBH im Überschuss führt zur Bildung von trans-[Pt(BCat)H{P(CH2Cy)3}2], cis-[Pt(BCat)2{P(CH2Cy)2}2] und H2 im Gleichgewicht. Gemäß quantenchemischen Berechnungen erfolgt die oxidative Addition der B–H-Bindung an [Pt(PR3)2] (R=Me, Cy, CH2Cy) ausgehend von einem -Präkursorkomplex. Durch die oxidative Addition der B–H-Bindung von CatBH an cis-[Pt(BCat)H(PR3)2] wird ein hyperkoordiniertes Platin(IV)-Intermediat gebildet, aus welchem das thermodynamisch stabilere trans-konfigurierte Isomer gebildet werden kann. Dieses Platin(IV)-Intermediat stellt die Schlüsselverbindung für die nachfolgende Dehydrokupplung dar. Durch einen Übergangszustand, in welchem Diwasserstoff abgespalten werden kann, wird ein cis-Bis(boryl)platinkomplex gebildet. Durch eine -Bindungsmetathese mit der B–H-Bindung von CatBH kann die B–B-Bindung geknüpft und Diboran(4) abgespalten werden. Das metallhaltige Produkt dieser Reaktion ist identisch mit dem trans-(Boryl)(hydrido)platinkomplex. Durch die Flexibilität der P(CH2Cy)3-Liganden werden durchweg Intermediate berechnet, welche geringere Deformationskräfte aufweisen als mit den rigiden PCy3-Liganden.
The potassium salt of the boron-centred nucleophile B(CN)\(_{3}\)\(^{2-}\)(1) readily reacts with perfluorinated arenes, such as hexafluorobenzene, decafluorobiphenyl, octafluoronaphthalene and pentafluoropyridine, which results in KF and the K\(^{+}\) salts of the respective borate anions with one {B(CN)\(_{3}\)} unit bonded to the (hetero)arene. An excess of K\(_{2}\)1 leads to the successive reaction of two or, in the case of perfluoropyridine, even three C–F moieties and the formation of di- and trianions, respectively. Moreover, all of the 11 partially fluorinated benzene derivatives, C\(_{6}\)F\(_{6-n}\)H\(_{n}\) (n = 1–5), generally react with K\(_{2}\)1 to give new tricyano(phenyl)borate anions with high chemo- and regioselectivity. A decreasing number of fluorine substituents on benzene results in a decrease in the reaction rate. In the cases of partially fluorinated benzenes, the addition of LiCl is advantageous or even necessary to facilitate the reaction. Also, pentafluorobenzenes R–C\(_{6}\)F\(_{5}\) (R = –CN, –OMe, –Me, or –CF\(_{3}\)) react via C–F/C–B exchange that mostly occurs in the para position and to a lesser extent in the meta or ortho positions. Most of the reactions proceed via an S\(_{N}\)Ar mechanism. The reaction of 1,4-F\(_{2}\)C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\) with K\(_{2}\)1 shows that an aryne mechanism has to be considered in some cases as well. In summary, a wealth of new stable tricyano(aryl)borates have been synthesised and fully characterized using multi-NMR spectroscopy and most of them were characterised using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
The self-stabilizing, tetrameric cyanoborylene [(cAAC)B(CN)]4 (I, cAAC = 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene) and its diborene relative, [(cAAC)(CN)B=B(CN)(cAAC)] (II), both react with disulfides and diselenides to yield the corresponding cAAC-supported cyanoboron bis(chalcogenides). Furthermore, reactions of I or II with elemental sulfur and selenium in various stoichiometries provided access to a variety of cAAC- stabilized cyanoboron-chalcogen heterocycles, including a unique dithiaborirane, a diboraselenirane, 1,3-dichalcogena-2,4-diboretanes, 1,3,4-trichalcogena- 2,5-diborolanes and a rare six-membered 1,2,4,5-tetrathia-3,6-diborinane. Stepwise addition reactions and solution stability studies provided insights into the mechanism of these reactions and the subtle differences in reactivity observed between I and II.
A 1,4,2,3‐diazadiborinine derivative was found to form Lewis adducts with strong two‐electron donors such as N‐heterocyclic and cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes. Depending on the donor, some of these Lewis pairs are thermally unstable, converting to sole B,N‐embedded products upon gentle heating. The products of these reactions, which have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, were identified as B,N‐heterocycles with fused 1,5,2,4‐diazadiborepine and 1,4,2‐diazaborinine rings. Computational modelling of the reaction mechanism provides insight into the formation of these unique structures, suggesting that a series of B−H, C−N, and B−B bond activation steps are responsible for these “intercalation” reactions between the 1,4,2,3‐diazadiborinine and NHCs.
Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has very interesting photophysical properties which make it suitable for a broad range of applications. The 2,7-positions of pyrene are situated on nodal planes in both the HOMO and LUMO. Hence, electrophilic reactions take place at the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 8-positions. The goal of this project was to develop novel pyrene derivatives substituted at the 2- and 2,7-positions, with very strong donors or/and acceptors, to achieve unprecedented properties and to provide a deeper understanding of how to control the excited states and redox properties. For that reason, a julolidine-type moiety was chosen as a very strong donor, giving D-π and D-π-D systems and, with Bmes2 as a very strong acceptor, D-π-A system. These compounds exhibit unusual photophysical properties such as emission in the green region of the electromagnetic spectrum in hexane, whereas all other previously reported pyrene derivatives substituted at the 2,7-positions show blue luminescence. Furthermore, spectroelectrochemical measurements suggest very strong coupling between the substituents at the 2,7-positions of pyrene in the D-π-D system. Theoretical studies show that these properties result from the very strong julolidine-type donor and Bmes2 acceptor coupling efficiently to the pyrene HOMO-1 and LUMO+1, respectively. Destabilization of the former and stabilization of the latter lead to an orbital shuffle between HOMO and HOMO 1, and LUMO and LUMO+1 of pyrene. Consequently, the S1 state changes its nature sufficiently enough to gain higher oscillator strength, and the photophysical and electrochemical properties are then greatly influenced by the substituents.
In another project, further derivatives were synthesized with additional acceptor moieties at the K-region of pyrene. These target derivatives exhibit strong bathochromically shifted absorption maxima (519-658 nm), which is a result of the outstanding charge transfer character introduced into the D-π-D pyrene system through the additional acceptor moiety at the K-region. Moreover, emission in the red to NIR region with an emission maximum at 700 nm in CH2Cl2 is detected. The excited state lives unusual long for K-region substituted pyrenes; however, such a lifetime is rather typical for 2,7-substituted pyrene derivatives.
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon perylene, especially perylene diimide, has received considerable attention in recent years and has found use in numerous applications such as dyes, pigments and semiconductors. Nevertheless, it is of fundamental importance to understand how to modulate the electronic and photophysical properties of perylene depending on the specific desired application. Perylenes without carboxyimide groups at the peri positions are much less well studied due to the difficulties in functionalizing the perylene core directly. In particular, only ortho heteroatom substituted perylenes have not been reported thus far (exception: (Bpin)4-Per was already reported by Marder and co-workers). Thus, the effect of substituents on the ortho positions of the perylene core has not been investigated.
Two perylene derivatives were synthesized that bear four strong diphenylamine donor or strong Bmes2 acceptor moieties at the ortho positions. These compounds represent the first examples of perylenes substituted only at the ortho positions with donors or acceptors.
The investigations show that the photophysical and electronic properties of these derivatives are unique and different compared to the well-studied perylene diimides. Thus, up to four reversible reductions or oxidations are possible, which is unprecedented for monomeric perylenes. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of these two ortho-substituted derivatives are unusual compared to reported perylenes on many regards. Thus, large Stokes shifts are obtained, and the singlet excited state of these derivatives lives remarkably long with intrinsic lifetimes of up to 94 ns.
In a cooperation with Dr. Gerard P. McGlacken at University College Cork in Ireland, different quinolones were borylated using an iridium catalyst system to study the electronic and steric effect of the substrates. It was possible to demonstrate that the Ir-catalyzed borylation with the dtbpy ligand allows the direct borylation of various 4-quinolones at the 6- and 7-positions. Thus, later stage functionalization is possible with this method and more highly functionalized quinolones are also compatible with this mild reaction conditions.
Geringe HOMO-LUMO-Abstände und eine hohe Ladungsträgermobilität prädestinieren die höheren Acene für Anwendungen im Bereich der Organoelektronik. Die Leistungsfähigkeit derartiger Verbindungen steigt hierbei dramatisch mit der Anzahl anellierter Benzolringe. Größere Acenmengen sind synthetisch bisher jedoch nur für Acene bis Heptacen verlässlich zugänglich. Theoretischen Studien zufolge besitzen (Oligo)acene offenschalige Singulettbiradikal- und (Poly)acene polyradikalische Grundzustände. Eindeutige experimentelle Belege für diese Vorhersagen sind hingegen äußerst selten. Durch den Einbau von zwei Boratomen in das Anthracengrundgerüst konnten wir den HOMO-LUMO-Abstand von Acenen dramatisch verringern und zwar ohne die Notwendigkeit einer Ausweitung des konjugierten π-Systems. Stabilisierung der Borzentren durch cyclische (Alkyl)(amino)carbene lieferte hierbei neutrale 9,10-Diboraanthracene mit disjunkten, offenschaligen Singulettbiradikal-Grundzuständen.
cAAC‐Stabilized 9,10‐diboraanthracenes—Acenes with Open‐Shell Singlet Biradical Ground States
(2020)
Narrow HOMO–LUMO gaps and high charge‐carrier mobilities make larger acenes potentially high‐efficient materials for organic electronic applications. The performance of such molecules was shown to significantly increase with increasing number of fused benzene rings. Bulk quantities, however, can only be obtained reliably for acenes up to heptacene. Theoretically, (oligo)acenes and (poly)acenes are predicted to have open‐shell singlet biradical and polyradical ground states, respectively, for which experimental evidence is still scarce. We have now been able to dramatically lower the HOMO–LUMO gap of acenes without the necessity of unfavorable elongation of their conjugated π system, by incorporating two boron atoms into the anthracene skeleton. Stabilizing the boron centers with cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes gives neutral 9,10‐diboraanthracenes, which are shown to feature disjointed, open‐shell singlet biradical ground states.
Carba-closo-dodecaboranylethinyl-Liganden und deren Einsatz als Liganden für Münzmetall(I)-Komplexe
(2018)
Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Synthese von mehrfach funktionalisierten Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anionen, um lineare Bausteine für höhermolekulare Netzwerke zu generieren. Speziell funktionelle Gruppen, die entweder zwei Koordinationstellen aufweisen oder weitere Funktionalisierungen ermöglichen, stehen im Fokus. Des Weiteren soll die Koordinationschemie von Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anionen mit Ethinylgruppen am antipodalen Boratom, besonders in Hinsicht auf die Bildung von Münzmetall(I)-Komplexen untersucht werden.
Im Rahmen dieser Themengebiete wurden zahlreiche zweifach funktionalisierte Derivate des Carba-closo-dodecaboratanions synthetisiert. Drei ausgewählte Anionen sind in Abbildung 141 gezeigt. Überdies wurde mit der Synthese von [1-H2CHCC(O)NH-closo-1-CB11H11]- gezeigt, dass die Aminofunktion derivatisiert werden kann. Diese Resultate ermöglichen die Synthese einer breiten Palette an linearen Bausteinen, beispielsweise für die Verwendung als Linker in höhermolekularen Netzwerken.Zudem wurden Bausteine synthetisiert, welche über Wasserstoffbrücken-bindungen lineare Stränge bilden . Aufgrund des, für Carboxylgruppen selten beobachteten Motivs von tetrameren Einheiten mit dem Graph-Set-Deskriptor [R44(16)] sticht die Struktur von
[1-HO(O)C-12-HCC-closo-1-CB11H10]- besonders hervor, da normalerweise für Carbonsäuren die Bildung von Dimeren bevorzugt ist.[129-131] Die maximale Länge des tetrameren, cyclischen Bausteins beträgt 2.24 nm. Das Anion [1-H2N(O)C-12-HCC-closo-1-CB11H10]- bildet einen linearen Strang mit einer Länge von 2.10 nm, welcher an beiden Enden funktionelle Gruppen trägt. Ein interessantes Einsatzgebiet von derartigen Verbindungen ist wiederum die Verwendung als Liganden im Bereich von Münzmetall(I)-Komplexen, wie sie beispielsweise von Himmelspach et al.[87] synthetisiert wurden, wobei in diesem Fall über das Wasserstoffbrückenbindungsmotiv ein Verknüpfungspunkt vorhanden wäre, um höhermolekulare Netzwerke zu bilden.
Des Weiteren wurde der elektronische Einfluss verschiedener funktioneller Gruppen auf die Polarisierung der Alkinylfunktion über das {closo-CB11}-Gerüst untersucht. Die Differenzen der experimentellen und berechneten chemischen Verschiebungen der Alkinylresonanzen stehen in linearem Zusammenhang mit der berechneten Differenz der NBO-Ladung des entsprechenden Clusters, wie Abbildung 143 zu entnehmen ist. Im Vergleich mit in 1,4-Position substituierten Derivaten von Benzol und Bicyclo[2.2.2]oktan wird deutlich, dass bei dem Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anion in größerem Maße induktive Effekte eine Rolle spielen, aber zu einem gewissen Teil auch mesomere Effekte über das {closo-1-CB11}-Gerüst vermittelt werden. Dementsprechend ist das Carba-closo-dodecaborat-Anion zwischen den beiden Extremfällen Benzol - mit dominierenden mesomeren Effekten - und Bicyclo[2.2.2]oktan - mit reinen induktiven Effekten - einzuordnen.Durch die Verwendung ausgewählter funktionalisierter Pyridinderivate wurde ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher AgI-Cluster synthetisiert. Mit Pyridin und 4-Me-Pyridin ist die Struktur im Festkörper ein Oktaeder. Bei Verwendung von 4 tBu-Pyridin wird neben eines, auf einer Seite geöffneten Oktaeders, auch ein stark verzerrtes geschlossenes Oktaeder beobachtet. Wird 4-F3C-Pyridin als Ligand verwendet, werden je nach Reaktionstemperatur zwei verschiedene geometrische Grundgerüste im Festkörper erhalten. Bei Temperaturen über 20 °C wird ein Oktaeder und bei Temperaturen unter 15 °C ein Dekaeder aus AgI-Ionen im Festkörper gebildet. Bei Einsatz von 3,5-Me-Lutidin hingegen formt sich eine pentagonale Bipyramide.Diese Komplexe phosphoreszieren bei Raumtemperatur, was für diese Verbindungsklasse sehr selten beobachtet wird. Des Weiteren konnten Informationen hinsichtlich der Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehung solcher Komplexe erhalten werden, so wird die Quantenausbeute der einzelnen Komplexe maßgeblich von der Struktur beeinflusst wird. Während das am häufigsten beobachtete geometrische Grundgerüst das Oktaeder ist und die Quantenausbeuten für diese Serie von Clustern in einem Bereich zwischen 0.01 und 0.14 liegen, wird bei Verwendung von 3,5-Me2-Lutidin als Ligand eine pentagonale Bipyramide gebildet, die sich darüber hinaus mit einer Quantenausbeute von 0.76 deutlich von allen anderen bislang synthetisierten Komplexen hervorhebt.
Mit den eben erwähnten Silber(I)-Komplexen wurden Ergebnisse bei Umsetzungen mit halogenidhaltigen Salzen erhalten. Auch hier wurden Unterschiede bei den verschiedenen Liganden beobachtet und bei Verwendung von 3,5-Me2-Lutidin wurden, in Abhängigkeit der verwendeten Kationen der eingesetzten Halogenid-Salze, unterschiedliche Komplexe erhalten. Im Falle des [Et4N]+-Kations bleibt die pentagonale Bipyramide erhalten und [Et4N][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-Me2-C5H3N)9] bildet sich, während bei Verwendung des [Ph4P]+-Kations [Ph4P][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-(Me)2C5H3N)13] erhalten wird und die Struktur im Kristall ist mit der von [Ag(C5H5N)4][(Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(C5H5N)11] verwandt. Die Struktur-Eigenschaft-Beziehung der Komplexe wird hierbei bestätigt, da für beide Komplexe sehr unterschiedliche Quantenausbeuten gemessen werden. Der Cluster mit dem pentagonal bipyramidalen Aufbau [Et4N][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-Me2-C5H3N)8] hat eine Quantenausbeute von 0.23 gemessen, während die Quantenausbeute im Fall von [Ph4P][Ag7(12-CC-closo-1-CB11H11)4(3,5-(Me)2C5H3N)13] nur 0.04 beträgt. Dies belegt, dass die Struktur des AgI-Clusters im Festkörper die Lumineszenzeigenschaften maßgeblich bestimmt.
Des Weiteren wurden verschiedene Münzmetallkomplexe mit Carboranyl-ethinyl- und Triphenylphosphan-Liganden synthetisiert . Auch diese Komplexe lumineszieren bei Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht. Im Falle des gemischten Komplexes {12-(Ph3PAu)((Ph3P)2Ag)]-CC-closo-1-CB11H11} konnte die Quantenausbeute auf 0.39 im Vergleich zu den reinen AgI- und AuI-Verbindungen erhöht werden. In diesen Fällen liegt die Quantenausbeute bei lediglich 0.01 beziehungsweise 0.02.
Major advances in the chemistry of 5th and 6th row heavy p-block element compounds have recently uncovered intriguing reactivity patterns towards small molecules such as H\(_2\), CO\(_2\), and ethylene. However, well-defined, homogeneous insertion reactions with carbon monoxide, one of the benchmark substrates in this field, have not been reported to date. We demonstrate here, that a cationic bismuth amide undergoes facile insertion of CO into the Bi–N bond under mild conditions. This approach grants direct access to the first cationic bismuth carbamoyl species. Its characterization by NMR, IR, and UV/vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations revealed intriguing properties, such as a reversible electron transfer at the bismuth center and an absorption feature at 353 nm ascribed to a transition involving σ- and π-type orbitals of the bismuth-carbamoyl functionality. A combined experimental and theoretical approach provided insight into the mechanism of CO insertion. The substrate scope could be extended to isonitriles.
