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).
This thesis contributes to the field of silicon chemistry, with a special emphasis on the chemistry of penta- and hexacoordinate silicon.The spirocyclic zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicates 1–6 with a (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinio)- methyl group and two identical bidentate chelate ligands derived from glycine, (S)-alanine, (S)-phenylalanine, (S)-valine, (S)-tert-leucine, or (S)-proline bound to the silicon(IV) coordination center were synthesized and structurally characterized for the first time.The hitherto unknown spirocyclic zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicates 7–12 with an (ammonio)- methyl group and two identical bidentate chelate ligands derived from (S)-lactic acid, (S)-3- phenyllactic acid, or (S)-mandelic acid were synthesized and structurally characterized in the solid state (elemental analyses (C, H, N), crystal structure analyses, 15N and 29Si VACP/MAS solid-state NMR experiments) and in solution (except 10; 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR experiments)The spirocyclic zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicates 13, 15, and 16 with an (ammonio)methyl group and two bidentate meso-oxolane-3,4-diolato(2–) ligands bound to the silicon(IV) coordination center were synthesized for the first time. The already existent compound 14 was resynthesized in order to perform a crystal structure analysis. All compounds were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), 29Si VACP/MAS solid-state NMR experiments, and solution NMR studies (1H, 13C, 15N, and 29Si NMR experiments), and compounds 14–16 were additionally studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The already existent zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicate 17 was synthesized by new methods, including a remarkable Si–C cleavage reaction with benzoin. To investigate the dynamic behavior of the known zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicate 18 in solution, VT 1H NMR experiments in CD2Cl2 were performed in the temperature range –100 °C to 23 °C.The hexacoordinate silicon compounds 19–22 containing multidentate ligands derived from citric acid or (S)-malic acid were synthesized for the first time. The anionic Lambda6Si-silicates 19–22 were structurally characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and VACP/MAS NMR spectroscopy (13C, 15N, 29Si). Upon dissolution in water at 20 °C, spontaneous hydrolysis of the Lambda6Si-silicate anions was observed.
