In this communication, we demonstrate a novel approach to prepare a discrete dimer of chiral phthalocyanine (Pc) by exploiting the flexible molecular geometry of helicenes, which enables structural interlocking and strong aggregation tendency of Pcs. Synthesized [7]helicene-Pc hybrid molecular structure, zinc-[7]helicenocyanine (Zn-7HPc), exclusively forms a stable dimeric pair consisting of two homochiral molecules. The dimerization constants were estimated to be as high as 8.96×10\(^6\) M\(^{−1}\) and 3.42×107 M\(^{−1}\) in THF and DMSO, respectively, indicating remarkable stability of dimer. In addition, Zn\(^{-7}\)HPc exhibited chiral self-sorting behavior, which resulted in preferential formation of a homochiral dimer also in the racemic sample. Two phthalocyanine subunits in the dimeric form strongly communicate with each other as revealed by a large comproportionation constant and observation of an IV-CT band for the thermodynamically stable mixed-valence state.
π-Conjugated oligomers and polymers with tricoordinate boron centers incorporated into the main chain have attracted considerable attention as the interaction of the vacant p orbital on boron with an adjacent π system of the chain leads to conjugated materials with intriguing optical and electronic properties. This enables applicability in organic electronics and optoelectronics (OLEDs, OFETs, photovoltaics) or as sensory materials.
The potential of our B–C coupling protocol using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation is demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of π-conjugated monodisperse (het)aryl oligoboranes. Variation of the (het)aryl moieties allowed for tunability of the optoelectronic properties of the materials. Additionally, catalytic C–C cross-coupling strategies were applied to synthesize oligofuryl-based mono- and bisboranes, as well as polymers. These studies led to very robust and highly emissive compounds (f up to 97 %), which allow for tuning of their emission color from blue to orange. Furthermore, this work includes investigations of reaction routes to a kinetically stabilized tetraoxaporphyrinogen.
Being a key aspect of this work, a full investigation of the mechanism of the catalytic Si/B exchange was carried out. Additionally, this work presents the use of borenium cations to perform B–C coupling via intermolecular electrophilic borylation. Similar to the Si/B exchange, this route is capable of giving access to diaryl(bromo)boranes.
Der erste Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der "Synthese und Reaktivität sterisch anspruchsvoller Iminoborane". Dabei war es möglich, ausgehend von einem Terphenylamin geeignete Aminoborane zu synthetisieren, welche anschließend mit starken, nicht-nukleophilen Basen umgesetzt wurden. Mittels formaler HCl-Eliminierung mit LiTmp gelang auf diese Weise die Darstellung sterisch anspruchsvoller Iminoborane.
Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit befasst sich mit der "Untersuchung von B-B-Doppelbindungen als Bestandteil konjugierter p-Systeme". Durch die Verwendung von sterisch wenig anspruchsvollen Liganden oder Boryl-Substituenten war es möglich planare Diboren-Systeme zu generieren und darüberhinaus Divinyldiborene darzustellen.
Twisted boron-based biradicals featuring unsaturated C\(_2\)R\(_2\) (R=Et, Me) bridges and stabilization by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) were recently prepared. These species show remarkable geometrical and electronic differences with respect to their unbridged counterparts. Herein, a thorough computational investigation on the origin of their distinct electrostructural properties is performed. It is shown that steric effects are mostly responsible for the preference for twisted over planar structures. The ground-state multiplicity of the twisted structure is modulated by the σ framework of the bridge, and different R groups lead to distinct multiplicities. In line with the experimental data, a planar structure driven by delocalization effects is observed as global minimum for R=H. The synthetic elusiveness of C\(_2\)R\(_2\)-bridged systems featuring N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) was also investigated. These results could contribute to the engineering of novel main group biradicals.
Fluoride abstraction from different types of transition metal fluoride complexes [L\(_n\)MF] (M=Ti, Ni, Cu) by the Lewis acid tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) to yield cationic transition metal complexes with the tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate counterion (FAP anion, [(C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_3\)]\(^-\)) is reported. (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) reacted with trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Ar\(^F\))F] (iPr2Im=1,3-diisopropylimidazolin-2-ylidene; Ar\(^F\)=C\(_6\)F\(_5\), 1 a; 4-CF\(_3\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 b; 4-C\(_6\)F\(_5\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 c) through fluoride transfer to form the complex salts trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(solv)(Ar\(^F\))]FAP (2 a-c[solv]; solv=Et\(_2\)O, CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\), THF) depending on the reaction medium. In the presence of stronger Lewis bases such as carbenes or PPh\(_3\), solvent coordination was suppressed and the complexes trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(PPh\(_3\))(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (trans-2 a[PPh\(_3\)]) and cis-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Dipp\(_2\)Im)(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (cis-2 a[Dipp\(_2\)Im]) (Dipp\(_2\)Im=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) were isolated. Fluoride abstraction from [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)CuF] (3) in CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\) or 1,2-difluorobenzene led to the isolation of [{(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu}\(_2\)]\(^2\)\(^+\)2 FAP\(^-\) (4). Subsequent reaction of 4 with PPh\(_3\) and different carbenes resulted in the complexes [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(LB)]FAP (5 a–e, LB=Lewis base). In the presence of C6Me6, fluoride transfer afforded [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(C\(_6\)Me\(_6\))]FAP (5 f), which serves as a source of [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu)]\(^+\). Fluoride abstraction of [Cp\(_2\)TiF\(_2\)] (7) resulted in the formation of dinuclear [FCp\(_2\)Ti(μ-F)TiCp\(_2\)F]FAP (8) (Cp=η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\)) with one terminal fluoride ligand at each titanium atom and an additional bridging fluoride ligand.
The synthesis and characterization of Lewis acid/base adducts between tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) and selected N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) R\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-di-organyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) and phosphines are reported. For NHCs with small alkyl substituents at nitrogen (R=Me, nPr, iPr) the adducts NHC ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (2 a–h) were isolated. The reaction with the sterically more demanding NHCs Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-bis-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 i) and tBu\(_{2}\)Im (1,3-di-tert-butyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 j) afforded the aNHC adducts 3 i and 3 j (a denotes “abnormal” NHC coordination via a backbone carbon atom). The use of tBuMeIm (1-tert-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) (1 m) led to partial decomposition of the NHC and formation of the salt [tBuMeIm−H][MeIm ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)] (4 m). The phosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) forms adducts with PMe\(_{3}\) but does not react with PPh\(_{3}\) or PCy\(_{3}\). The mer-cis isomer of literature-known Me\(_{3}\)P ⋅ PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (5 a) was structurally characterized. Mixtures of the phosphorane PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) and the sterically encumbered NHCs tBu\(_{2}\)Im, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im, and Dipp\(_{2}\)Im\(^{H2}\) (1,3-bis-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-imidazolidin-2-ylidene) (1 k) showed properties of FLPs (Frustrated Lewis Pairs) as these mixtures were able to open the ring of THF (tetrahydrofuran) to yield NHC−(CH\(_{2}\))\(_{4}\)O−PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) 6 i–k. Furthermore, the deprotonation of the weak C−H acids CH\(_{3}\)CN, acetone, and ethyl acetate was achieved, which led to the formation of the corresponding imidazolium salts and the phosphates [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(CH\(_{2}\)CN)]\(^{-}\) (7), [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(OC(=CH\(_{2}\))CH\(_{3}\))]\(^{-}\) (8) and [PF\(_{2}\)(C\(_{2}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\)(CH\(_{2}\)CO\(_{2}\)Et)]\(^{-}\) (9).
Novel dyes were prepared by simple “click CuAAC” attachment of a triarylborane–alkyne to the azide side chain of an amino acid yielding triarylborane dye 1 which was conjugated with pyrene (dye 2) forming a triarylborane–pyrene FRET pair. In contrast to previous cationic triarylboranes, the novel neutral dyes interact only with proteins, while their affinity to DNA/RNA is completely abolished. Both the reference triarylborane amino acid and triarylborane–pyrene conjugate bind to BSA and the hDPP III enzyme with high affinities, exhibiting a strong (up to 100-fold) fluorescence increase, whereby the triarylborane–pyrene conjugate additionally retained FRET upon binding to the protein. Furthermore, the triarylborane dyes, upon binding to the hDPP III enzyme, did not impair its enzymatic activity under a wide range of experimental conditions, thus being the first non-covalent fluorimetric markers for hDPP III, also applicable during enzymatic reactions with hDPP III substrates.
A novel protocol for the transition metal-free 1,2-addition of polyfluoroaryl boronate esters to aldehydes and ketones is reported, which provides secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and ketones. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicate that both the ortho-F substituents on the polyfluorophenyl boronates and the counterion K\(^+\) in the carbonate base are critical. The distinguishing features of this procedure include the employment of commercially available starting materials and the broad scope of the reaction with a wide variety of carbonyl compounds giving moderate to excellent yields. Intriguing structural features involving O−H⋅⋅⋅O and O−H⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonding, as well as arene-perfluoroarene interactions, in this series of racemic polyfluoroaryl carbinols have also been addressed.
The dimethylbismuth cation: entry into dative Bi-Bi bonding and unconventional methyl exchange
(2021)
The dimethyl bismuth cation, [BiMe\(_2\)(SbF\(_6\))], has been isolated and characterized. Reaction with BiMe\(_3\) allows access to the first compound featuring Bi→Bi donor–acceptor bonding. In solution, dynamic behavior with methyl exchange via an unusual S\(_E\)2 mechanism is observed, underlining the unique properties of bismuth species as soft Lewis acids with the ability to undergo reversible Bi−C bond cleavage.
The development of complexes featuring low-valent, multiply bonded metal centers is an exciting field with several potential applications. In this work, we describe the design principles and extensive computational investigation of new organometallic platforms featuring the elusive manganese-manganese bond stabilized by experimentally realized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). By using DFT computations benchmarked against multireference calculations, as well as MO- and VB-based bonding analyses, we could disentangle the various electronic and structural effects contributing to the thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as the experimental feasibility, of the systems. In particular, we explored the nature of the metal-carbene interaction and the role of the ancillary η\(^{6}\) coordination to the generation of Mn\(_{2}\) systems featuring ultrashort metal-metal bonds, closed-shell singlet multiplicities, and positive adiabatic singlet-triplet gaps. Our analysis identifies two distinct classes of viable synthetic targets, whose electrostructural properties are thoroughly investigated.
In recent years, research in the fields of optoelectronics, anion sensors and bioimaging agents have been greatly influenced by novel compounds containing triarylborane motifs. Such compounds possess an empty p‐orbital at boron which results in useful optical and electronic properties. Such a diversity of applications was not expected when the first triarylborane was reported in 1885. Synthetic approaches to triarylboranes underwent various changes over the following century, some of which are still used in the present day, such as the generally applicable routes developed by Krause et al. in 1922, or by Grisdale et al. in 1972 at Eastman Kodak. Some other developments were not pursued further after their initial reports, such as the synthesis of two triarylboranes bearing three different aromatic groups by Mikhailov et al. in 1958. This review summarizes the development of synthetic approaches to triarylboranes from their first report nearly 135 years ago to the present.
The first Borono-Strecker reaction has been developed to synthesize α-aminoboronates via a multicomponent reaction of readily available carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), amines and B2pin2. The preparation of α-amino cyclic boronates can be achieved via multicomponent coupling of salicylaldehydes, amines, and B2(OH)4. In addition, the diazaborole-based PBP pincer palladium chloride and the diazaborole-based PBP pincer palladium trifluoromethanesulfonate complexes were synthesized and fully characterized for the first time, and used as catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
A novel and convenient methodology for the one-pot synthesis of sterically congested triarylboranes by using bench-stable aryltrifluoroborates as the boron source is reported. This procedure gives systematic access to symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes of the types BAr\(_{2}\)Ar’ and BArAr'Ar’’, respectively. Three unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes as well as their iridium-catalyzed C−H borylation products are reported. These borylated triarylboranes contain one to three positions that can subsequently be orthogonally functionalized in follow-up reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings or Sonogashira couplings.
An N-heterocyclic-carbene-stabilized diboryne undergoes rapid, high-yielding and catalyst-free hydroamina- tion reactions with primary amines, yielding 1-amino-2-hydro- diborenes, which can be considered boron analogues of enamines. The electronics of the organic substituent at nitrogen influence the structure and further reactivity of the diborene product. With electron-rich anilines, a second hydroamination can occur at the diborene to generate 1,1-diamino-2,2-dihy- drodiboranes. With isopropylamine, the electronic influence of the alkyl substituent upon the diborene leads to an unprece- dented boron-mediated intramolecular N-dearylation reaction of an N-heterocyclic carbene unit.
Bis(1-(4-tolyl)-carboran-2-yl)-(4-tolyl)-borane [(1-(4-MeC\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\))-closo-1,2-C\(_{2}\)B\(_{10}\)H\(_{10}\)-2-)\(_{2}\)(4-MeC\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\))B] (1), a new bis(o-carboranyl)-(R)-borane was synthesised by lithiation of the o-carboranyl precursor and subsequent salt metathesis reaction with (4-tolyl)BBr\(_{2}\). Cyclic voltammetry experiments on 1 show multiple distinct reduction events with a one-electron first reduction. In a selective reduction experiment the corresponding paramagnetic radical anion 1\(^{.−}\) was isolated and characterized. Single-crystal structure analyses allow an in-depth comparison of 1, 1\(^{.−}\), their calculated geometries, and the S\(_{1}\) excited state of 1. Photophysical studies of 1 show a charge transfer (CT) emission with low quantum yield in solution but a strong increase in the solid state. TD-DFT calculations were used to identify transition-relevant orbitals.
Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Durchführung von regioselektiven Deborierungsreaktionen von 1,7-Dicarba-closo-dodecaboranen sowie die Herstellung von polyfunktionalisierten meta-Carboran-Derivaten. Die synthetisierten {nido-7,9-C2B9}- und {closo-1,7-C2B10}-Derivate und ausgewählte ortho-Carboran-Derivate wurden nach erfolgter Kumada-artiger Kreuzkupplungsreaktion bzgl. ihrer Koordinationschemie untersucht. Die ethinylfunktionalisierten Borcluster wurden als Edukte für die Herstellung von Gold(I)-Komplexen genutzt. Weitere Ziele dieser Arbeit waren außerdem die Synthese und umfassende Charakterisierung des gemischten Fluorohydridoborat-Anions [BHF3]− und der carboranylsubstituierten Borat-Anionen [1-HF2B-closo-1,2-C2B10H11]− und [1-HF2B-9,12-I2-closo-1,2-C2B10H9]− sowie die Untersuchung hinsichtlich ihrer Folgechemie.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Synthese, Funktionalisierung und Reaktivität von 1,4,2,3-Diazadiborininen untersucht. Zu Beginn sollten Bis(dimethylamino)-substituierte Diazadiborinine mit unterschiedlichen Resten an den Stickstoffatomen dargestellt werden, deren weitere Funktionalisierung später im Fokus stand. Die Synthese erfolgte durch Reduktion von 1,4-Diazabutadienen mit elementarem Lithium und anschließender Salzeliminierungsreaktion mit B2(NMe2)2Cl2. Dadurch ließen sich die monocyclischen vier N,N’-Diaryl-substituierten Diazadiborinine sowie ein Alkyl-substituiertes Diazadiborinin darstellen. Durch etablierte Methoden der Diboran(4)-Chemie wurden diese in ihre Halogenderivate (Cl, Br, I) überführt. Aus diesen konnten drei 2,3-Diazido-1,4,2,3-diazadiborinine durch Umsetzung mit TMSN3 aus den Dihalogenderivaten dargestellt werden. Diese stellen hierbei die ersten isolierten Diboran(4)azidverbindugen dar. Ebenso gelang die Synthese eines bicyclischen Naphthalinisosters, welches erneut erfolgreich in seine Halogenderivate sowie das Diazdidoderivat überführt werden konnte. Einen Einblick in den Mechanismus der 1,4,2,3-Diazadiborininbildung ermöglichte die Isolierung eines Diazadiboretidinintermediats, welches durch doppelte Salzeliminierung entsteht. Dieses erwies sich jedoch als metastabil und lagerte zum Sechsring Diazadiborinin um. Quantenchemische Berechnungen unterstutzten die experimentellen Befunde. Über Kommutierungsreaktionen konnte eine Vielzahl an B,B‘-unsymmetrisch substituierten Diazadiborininen dargestellt und isoliert werden, wobei je nach verwendeten Startmaterialien entweder Gleichgewichtsreaktionen oder quantitative Umsetzungen beobachtet wurden.
Ebenso wurde die Reaktivität der neuartigen Diazidodiborane(4) gegenüber Lewis-Basen untersucht. Sowohl das monocyclische Diazadiborinin, als auch das Benzodiazadiborinin konnten mit NHC-Basen zu den fünf verschiedenen Addukten umgesetzt werden. Unter thermischer Belastung wurde bei den monocyclischen Addukten eine Staudinger-artige Reaktion beobachtet, die unter Freisetzung von N2 zur Bildung von Guanadin-substituierten Diborane(4) führte. Die Benzodiazadiborininaddukte zeigten jedoch eine gänzlich andere Reaktivität. Hier fand eine Ringverkleinerungsreaktion unter Bildung von Diazaborolen statt, welche unter Wanderung einer Azidfunktion auf das NHC-stabilisierte Boratom gebildet wurden. Auf diese Weise konnten drei 1,1-Diamino-2,2-diazidodiborane(5) isoliert werden. Während bei der Umsetzung des Naphtalenderivats mit cAAC keine selektive Reaktion beobachtet wurde, reagierte das monocyclische Diazadiborinin mit zwei Äquivalenten cAAC. Hier bedingte das erste Carbon eine Staudinger-artige Reaktion, die unter Distickstofffreisetzung zu einem Formamidin führte. Die zweite Azidgruppe wurde am $\gamma$-Stickstoffatom von einem weiteren Äquivalent cAAC koordiniert.
In weiteren Reaktivitätsstudien wurde die Generierung von transienten Iminoboranen aus Diazidodiazadiborininen untersucht. Die Diazide zeigten bei Temperaturen von über 150 °C ein sehr selektives Reaktionsverhalten und gingen unter Freisetzung von Distickstoff zu 1,3,2,4-Diazadiboretidin über, wobei dies über die Dimerisierung eines intermediär gebildeten siebengliedrigen, endocyclischen Iminoborans verlief. Der Mechanismus zur Bildung der transienten Iminoborane wurde anhand zweier möglicher Bildungswege mit quantenchemischen Methoden untersucht.
Im letzten Kapitel wurde die Reaktivität des Dihydrodiazadiborinins gegenüber
NHC- und cAAC-Lewis-Basen untersucht. Die Umsetzung mit cAAC führte zu einer B–H-Bindungsaktivierung durch das Carbenkohlenstoffatom, die vermutlich über eine Adduktspezies verläuft. Mit dem gesättigten NHC SIMes wurde ebenfalls keine Adduktbildung beobachtet, auch wenn ein derartiges Intermediat vermutlich durchlaufen wird. Als Produkt der Umsetzung wurde indes ein bicyclisches Molekül identifiziert, welches durch doppelte Ringerweiterung gebildet wurde. Mit ungesättigten NHCs wurden drei Addukte isoliert, welche jedoch nur metastabil waren und beim Erwärmen in bicyclische Verbindungen umlagerten. Die Umlagerungsprodukte konnten weiterhin durch Koordination eines weiteren Äquivalents IMe an die B–H-Funktionalität erneut zu Addukten umgesetzt werden.
Die Bildung der zweier bicyclischer Verbindungen wurde ebenfalls mit quantenchemischen Methoden untersucht, wobei ein vierstufiger Prozess durchlaufen wird. Nach der Bildung des NHC-Addukts erfolgt die Übertragung eines Hydrids auf das Carbenkohlenstoffatom. Durch Insertion eines Boratoms in die NC-Bindung des Carbenrings wird eine Spiroverbindung gebildet und im letzten Schritt folgt die Spaltung der BB-Bindung durch Insertion des ehemaligen Carbenkohlenstoffatoms, was zur Bildung der Bicyclen führt.
Based on the strand‐like coordination polymer (CP) type \(^{1}\)\(_{∞}\)[Ln(BSB)\(_{3}\)(py)\(_{2}\)], [BSB]−=bis‐salicylatoborate anion, mixed Eu/Tb‐containing compounds of the constitution \(^{1}\)\(_{∞}\)[Eu\(_{x}\)Tb\(_{1-x}\)(BSB)\(_{3}\)(py)\(_{2}\)] were synthesised ionothermally for a phase width of (x=0.25–0.75) and characterized regarding structure and optical properties. Previously, known only for other lanthanides, the mixed 1D−Eu/Tb‐CPs show excellent options for statistic replacement of the Ln‐cations during synthesis yielding solid solutions. The products are highly luminescent, with the chromaticity being a direct function of the amount of the respective Ln‐ions. Corresponding to an overall addition of emission intensities, the green Tb\(^{3+}\) emission and the red Eu\(^{3+}\) emission allow for a chromaticity control that also includes yellow emission. Control of the luminescence colour renders them suitable examples of the versatility of statistic replacement of metal ions in coordination chemistry. In addition, crystallization of [EMIm]\(_{2}\)[YCl\(_{5}\)(py)] illuminates possible other products of the ionothermal reactions of [EMIm][BSB] with LnCl\(_{3}\) constituted by components not being part of the main CPs.
Fluorinated groups are essential for drug design, agrochemicals, and materials science. The bis(trifluoromethyl)amino group is an example of a stable group that has a high potential. While the number of molecules containing perfluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkoxy, and other fluorinated groups is steadily increasing, examples with the N(CF\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\) group are rare. One reason is that transfer reagents are scarce and metal-based storable reagents are unknown. Herein, a set of Cu\(^{I}\) and Ag\(^{I}\) bis(trifluoromethyl)amido complexes stabilized by N- and P-donor ligands with unprecedented stability are presented. The complexes are stable solids that can even be manipulated in air for a short time. They are bis(trifluoromethyl)amination reagents as shown by nucleophilic substitution and Sandmeyer reactions. In addition to a series of benzylbis(trifluoromethyl)amines, 2-bis(trifluoromethyl)amino acetate was obtained, which, upon hydrolysis, gives the fluorinated amino acid N,N-bis(trifluoromethyl)glycine.
Industrially used semiconducting materials, building blocks of modern electronics and computer industry, are mostly based on inorganic, crystalline solids, which have the drawback of relatively high production costs. As an alternative, organic pi-conjugated systems show enhanced flexibility and processability as well as the opportunity to obtain light-weight materials. They have emerged as attractive candidates, especially since elements beyond hydrogen and carbon can be used to create pi-conjugated frameworks. In recent years, pi-conjugated oligomers and polymers with tricoordinate boron centers incorporated into the main chain of such organic polymers have attracted considerable attention as the interaction of the vacant p orbital on boron with an adjacent pi system of the chain leads to extended conjugated materials. These materials show intriguing optical and electronic properties and potential applications in organic electronics and optoelectronics (OLEDs, OFETs, photovoltaics) or as sensory materials.
In this thesis, a catalytic Si/B exchange reaction protocol is used as a facile and highly effective B-C bond formation method to synthesize organoboron molecules, oligomers, polymers and macrocycles. This reaction is applied to synthesize a series of thienyl- and furylborane based materials. Special focus is on furylborane based materials, which, in general, have been only scarcely explored so far. This is mainly due to synthetic challenges since furan decomposes readily in the presence of light and oxygen. Our mild and highly selective reaction protocol in combination with sufficient kinetic protection of the boron centers gives access to a series of extended organoboranes featuring furylborane units in the main chain. Furthermore, kinetically stabilized furylboranes are established as highly robust and versatile building blocks for pi conjugated materials. The obtained materials reveal remarkable luminescence properties. The scope of potential starting materials was investigated by a catalyst screening, demonstrating that the Si/B exchange reaction can also be performed for less reactive aryldichloroboranes. Furthermore, borazine-based hybrid cyclomatrix microspheres have been synthesized via a Si/B exchange condensation reaction under precipitation polymerization conditions. Finally, synthetic routes to tetrabora- and diboraporphyrinogens were attempted in a multi-step reaction procedure. In the case for tetraboraporphyrinogens, the final macrocyclization reaction under pseudo high-dilution conditions afforded a mixture of macrocycles with different ring sizes. UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis indicated significant differences in comparison to their linear congeners.
Organoboron compounds are important building blocks in organic synthesis, materials science, and drug discovery. The development of practical and convenient ways to synthesize boronate esters attracted significant interest. Photoinduced borylations originated with stoichiometric reactions of arenes and alkanes with well-defined metal-boryl complexes. Now photoredox-initiated borylations, catalyzed either by transition-metal or organic photocatalysts, and photochemical borylations with high efficiency have become a burgeoning area of research. In this chapter, we summarize research in the field of photocatalytic C-X borylation, especially emphasizing recent developments and trends, based on transition-metal catalysis, metal-free organocatalysis and direct photochemical activation. We focus on reaction mechanisms involving single electron transfer (SET), triplet energy transfer (TET), and other radical processes.
We developed a highly selective photocatalytic C-F borylation method that employs a rhodium biphenyl complex as a triplet sensitizer and the nickel catalyst [Ni(IMes)2] (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene) for the C-F bond activation and defluoroborylation process. This tandem catalyst system operates with visible (400 nm) light and achieves borylation of a wide range of fluoroarenes with B2pin2 at room temperature in excellent yields and with high selectivity. Direct irradiation of the intermediary C-F bond oxidative addition product trans-[NiF(ArF)(IMes)2] leads to fast decomposition when B2pin2 is present. This destructive pathway can be bypassed by indirect excitation of the triplet states of the nickel(II) complex via the photoexcited rhodium biphenyl complex. Mechanistic studies suggest that the exceptionally long-lived triplet excited state of the Rh biphenyl complex used as the photosensitizer allows for efficient triplet energy transfer to trans-[NiF(ArF)(IMes)2], which leads to dissociation of one of the NHC ligands. This contrasts with the majority of current photocatalytic transformations, which employ transition metals as excited state single electron transfer agents. We have previously reported that C(arene)-F bond activation with [Ni(IMes)2] is facile at room temperature, but that the transmetalation step with B2pin2 is associated with a high energy barrier. Thus, this triplet energy transfer ultimately leads to a greatly enhanced rate constant for the transmetalation step and thus for the whole borylation process. While addition of a fluoride source such as CsF enhances the yield, it is not absolutely required. We attribute this yield-enhancing effect to (i) formation of an anionic adduct of B2pin2, i.e. FB2pin2-, as an efficient, much more nucleophilic {Bpin-} transfer reagent for the borylation/transmetalation process, and/or (ii) trapping of the Lewis acidic side product FBpin by formation of [F2Bpin]- to avoid the formation of a significant amount of NHC-FBpin and consequently of decomposition of {Ni(NHC)2} species in the reaction mixture.
We reported a highly selective and general photo-induced C-Cl borylation protocol that employs [Ni(IMes)2] (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazoline-2-ylidene) for the radical borylation of chloroarenes. This photo-induced system operates with visible light (400 nm) and achieves borylation of a wide range of chloroarenes with B2pin2 at room temperature in excellent yields and with high selectivity, thereby demonstrating its broad utility and functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the borylation reactions proceed via a radical process. EPR studies demonstrate that [Ni(IMes)2] undergoes very fast chlorine atom abstraction from aryl chlorides to give [NiI(IMes)2Cl] and aryl radicals. Control experiments indicate that light promotes the reaction of [NiI(IMes)2Cl] with aryl chlorides generating additional aryl radicals and [NiII(IMes)2Cl2]. The aryl radicals react with an anionic sp2-sp3 diborane [B2pin2(OMe)]- formed from B2pin2 and KOMe to yield the corresponding borylation product and the [Bpin(OMe)]•- radical anion, which reduces [NiII(IMes)2Cl2] under irradiation to regenerate [NiI(IMes)2Cl] and [Ni(IMes)2] for the next catalytic cycle.
A highly efficient and general protocol for traceless, directed C3-selective C-H borylation of indoles with [Ni(IMes)2] as the catalyst was achieved. Activation and borylation of N-H bonds by [Ni(IMes)2] is essential to install a Bpin moiety at the N-position as a traceless directing group, which enables the C3-selective borylation of C-H bonds. The N-Bpin group which is formed is easily converted in situ back to an N-H group by the oxidiative addition product of [Ni(IMes)2] and in situ-generated HBpin. The catalytic reactions are operationally simple, allowing borylation of of a variety of substituted indoles with B2pin2 in excellent yields and with high selectivity. The C-H borylation can be followed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of the C-borylated indoles in an overall two-step, one-pot process providing an efficient method for synthesizing C3-functionalized heteroarenes.
A series of highly substituted 1,2-azaborinines, including a phenylene-bridged bis-1,2-azaborinine, was synthesized from the reaction of 1,2-azaborete rhodium complexes with variously substituted alkynes. 1-Rhoda-3,2-azaborole complexes, which are accessible by phosphine addition to the corresponding 1,2-azaborete complexes, were also found to be suitable precursors for the synthesis of 1,2-azaborinines and readily reacted with alkynyl-substituted 1,2-azaborinines to generate new regioisomers of bi-1,2-azaborinines, which feature directly connected aromatic rings. Their molecular structures, which can be viewed as boron-nitrogen isosteres of biphenyls, show nearly perpendicular 1,2-azaborinine rings. The new method using rhodacycles instead of 1,2-azaborete complexes as precursors is shown to be more effective, allowing the synthesis of a wider range of 1,2-azaborinines.
Boroles are attracting broad interest for their myriad and diverse applications, including in synthesis, small molecule activation and functional materials. Their properties and reactivity are closely linked to the cyclic conjugated diene system, which has been shown to participate in cycloaddition reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction with alkynes. The reaction steps leading to boranorbornadienes, borepins and tricyclic boracyclohexenes from the thermal reaction of boroles with alkynes are seemingly well understood as judged from the literature. Herein, we question the long-established mechanistic picture of pericyclic rearrangements by demonstrating that seven-membered borepins (i. e., heptaphenylborepin and two derivatives substituted with a thienyl and chloride substituent on boron) exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the corresponding bicyclic boranorbornadienes, the direct Diels-Alder products, but are not isolable products from the reactions. Heating gradually converts the isomeric mixtures into fluorescent tricyclic boracyclohexenes, the most stable isomers in the series. Results from mechanistic DFT calculations reveal that the tricyclic compounds derive from the boranorbornadienes and not the borepins, which were previously believed to be intermediates in purely pericyclic processes.
Bei der Einelektronenreduktion eines durch eine cyclisches (Alkyl)(amino)carben (CAAC) stabilisierten Arylborylen-Carbonylkomplexes erfolgt die Bildung eines dimeren Borylketyl-Radikalanions, bedingt durch eine intramolekulare Arylmigration zum CO Kohlenstoffatom. Computergestützte Analyse liefert Hinweise auf eine radikalanionische [(CAAC)B(CO)Ar]\(^{.-}\) Zwischenstufe. Weiterführende Reduktion des entstandenen Komplexes liefert ein hoch nukleophiles (Boranyliden)methanolat.
Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt im ersten Abschnitt die Synthese und Reaktivität neuartiger Diborane(4). Ebenfalls wurde die Reaktivität von Dihalogendiboranen(4) gegenüber Phenylazid untersucht, wobei symmetrische Vertreter unter Beibehalt der B-B-Bindung die fünfgliedrigen B2N3 Heterocyclen 14 und 15 lieferten. Der zweite Abschnitt dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der unerwarteten Reaktivität der NHC-stabilisierten μ-Hydridodiborane(5) XXIII und XXIV. Der abschließende Teil dieser Arbeit befasst sich mit den ersten Versuchen zur Darstellung eines CAAC-stabilisierten, Diboranyl-substituierten Borylens.
The reactions of carbodiimides with the iron arylborylene complex [Fe=BDur(CO)\(_{3}\)(PMe\(_{3}\))] (Dur=2,3,5,6-Me\(_{4}\)C\(_{6}\)H) and the iron bis(borylene) complex [Fe{=BDur}{=BN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\)}(CO)\(_{3}\)] yield a wide variety of temperature-dependent products, including known FeBNC and novel FeBNB metallacycles, complexes of N-heterocyclic boracarbene and spiro-boracarbene ligands and a unique 1,3,2,4-diazadiborolyl pianostool complex, characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The product distributions can be rationalized by considering sequences of cycloaddition, metathesis, insertion, and C−H activation pathways mainly governed by sterics.
Chapter 1 deals with the reaction of [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with para-substituted 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diynes at room temperature, in which a complex containing a bidentate organic fulvene moiety, composed of two diynes, σ-bound to the rhodium center is formed in an all-carbon [3+2] type cyclization reaction. In addition, a complex containing an organic indene moiety, composed of three diynes, attached to the rhodium center in a bis-σ-manner is formed in a [3+2+3] cyclization process.
Reactions at 100 °C reveal that the third diyne inserts between the rhodium center and the bis-σ-bound organic fulvene moiety. Furthermore, the formation of a 2,5- and a 2,4-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadiene is observed. The unique [3+2] cyclization product was used for the synthesis of a highly conjugated organic molecule, which is hard to access or even inaccessible by conventional methods. Thus, at elevated temperatures, reaction of the [3+2] product with para-tolyl isocyanate led to the formation of a purple organic compound containing the organic fulvene structure and one equivalent of para-tolyl isocyanate.
The blue and green [3+2+3] complexes show an unusually broad absorption from 500 – 1000 nm with extinction coefficients ε of up to 11000 M-1 cm-1. The purple organic molecule shows an absorption spectrum similar to those of known diketopyrrolopyrroles.
Additionally, the reaction of [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with para-tolyl isocyanate was investigated. A cis-phosphine complex of the form cis-[Rh(acac)(PMe3)2(isocyanate)2] with an isocyanate dimer bound to the rhodium center by one carbon and one oxygen atom was isolated.
Replacing the trimethylphosphine ligands in [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] with the stronger σ-donating NHC ligand Me2Im (1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene), again, drastically alters the reaction. Similar [3+2] and [3+2+3] products to those discussed above could not be unambiguously assigned, but cis- and trans-π-complexes, which are in an equilibrium with the two starting materials, were formed.
Chapters 2 is about the influence of the backbone of the α,ω-diynes on the formation and photophysical properties of 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadienes. Therefore, different α,ω-diynes were reacted with [Rh(acac)(PMe3)2] and [Rh(acac)(P(p-tolyl)3)2] in equimolar amounts. In general, a faster consumption of the rhodium(I) starting material is observed while using preorganized α,ω-diynes with electron withdrawing substituents in the backbone. The isolated PMe3-substituted rhodacyclopentadienes exhibit fluorescence, despite the presence of the heavy atom rhodium, with lifetimes τF of < 1 ns and photoluminescence quantum yields Φ of < 0.01 as in previously reported P(p-tolyl)-substituted 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadienes. However, an isolated P(p-tolyl)-substituted 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadiene shows multiple lifetimes and different absorption and excitation spectra leading to the conclusion that different species may be present.
Reaction of [Rh(acac)(Me2Im)2] with dimethyl 4,4'-(naphthalene-1,8-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))dibenzoate, results in the formation of a mixture trans- and cis-NHC-substituted 2,5-bis(aryl)rhodacyclopentadienes.
In chapter 3 the reaction of various acac- and diethyldithiocarbamate-substituted rhodium(I) catalysts bearing (chelating)phosphines with α,ω-bis(arylethynyl)alkanes (α,ω-diynes), yielding luminescent dimers and trimers, is described. The photophysical properties of dimers and trimers of the α,ω-diynes were investigated and compared to para-terphenyl, showing a lower quantum yield and a larger apparent Stokes shift.
Furthermore, a bimetallic rhodium(I) complex of the form [Rh2(ox)(P(p-tolyl)3)4] (ox: oxalate) was reacted with a CO2Me-substituted α,ω-tetrayne forming a complex in which only one rhodium(I) center reacts with the α,ω-tetrayne. The photophysical properties of this mixed rhodium(I)/(III) species shows only negligible differences compared to the P(p-tolyl)- and CO2Me-substituted 2,5-bis(arylethynyl)rhodacyclopentadiene, previously synthesized by Marder and co-workers.
Detection of metals in different environments with high selectivity and specificity is one of the prerequisites of the fight against environmental pollution with these elements. Pyrenes are well suited for the fluorescence sensing in different media. The applied sensing principle typically relies on the formation of intra- and intermolecular excimers, which is however limiting the sensitivity range due to masking of e. g. quenching effects by the excimer emission. Herein we report a highly selective, structurally rigid chemical sensor based on the monomer fluorescence of pyrene moieties bearing triazole groups. This sensor can quantitatively detect Cu\(^{2+}\), Pb\(^{2+}\) and Hg\(^{2+}\) in organic solvents over a broad concentrations range, even in the presence of ubiquitous ions such as Na\(^{+}\), K\(^{+}\), Ca\(^{2+}\) and Mg\(^{2+}\). The strongly emissive sensor's fluorescence with a long lifetime of 165 ns is quenched by a 1 : 1 complex formation upon addition of metal ions in acetonitrile. Upon addition of a tenfold excess of the metal ion to the sensor, agglomerates with a diameter of about 3 nm are formed. Due to complex interactions in the system, conventional linear correlations are not observed for all concentrations. Therefore, a critical comparison between the conventional Job plot interpretation, the method of Benesi-Hildebrand, and a non-linear fit is presented. The reported system enables the specific and robust sensing of medically and environmentally relevant ions in the health-relevant nM range and could be used e. g. for the monitoring of the respective ions in waste streams.
The parent borylene (CAAC)(Me\(_{3}\)P)BH, 1 (CAAC=cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene), acts both as a Lewis base and one-electron reducing agent towards group 13 trichlorides (ECl\(_{3}\), E=B, Al, Ga, In), yielding the adducts 1-ECl\(_{3}\) and increasing proportions of the radical cation [1]\(^{•+}\) for the heavier group 13 analogues. With boron trihalides (BX\(_{3}\), X=F, Cl, Br, I) 1 undergoes sequential adduct formation and halide abstraction reactions to yield borylboronium cations and shows an increasing tendency towards redox processes for the heavier halides. Calculations confirm that 1 acts as a strong Lewis base towards EX3 and show a marked increase in the B−E bond dissociation energies down both group 13 and the halide group.
Die 1:2-Reaktion von [μ-(dmpm)Pt(nbe)]\(_{2}\) (dmpm=Bis(dimethylphosphino)methan, nbe=Norbornen) mit Cl\(_{2}\)BNR(SiMe\(_{3}\)) (R=tBu, SiMe\(_{3}\)) führt durch eine B-N-Kupplung über eine ClSiMe\(_{3}\)-Eliminierung zu unsymmetrischen (N-Aminoboryl)aminoboryl-Pt\(^{I}\)\(_{2}\)-Komplexen. Eine anschließende intramolekulare ClSiMe\(_{3}\)-Eliminierung des tBu-Derivats führt zu einer Cyclisierung der BNBN-Einheit unter Bildung eines einzigartigen 1,3,2,4-Diazadiboretidin-2-yl-Liganden. Im Gegensatz hierzu steht die analoge Reaktion mit Br\(_{2}\)BN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\), die über eine zweifache BrSiMe\(_{3}\)-Eliminierung zu einem Pt\(^{II}\)\(_{2}\)-A-Frame-Komplex führt, der von einem linearen Isoster des Butatriens verbrückt wird. Strukturelle und theoretische Daten bestätigen eine π-Elektronen-Delokalisierung über die gesamte BNBN-Einheit.
Die Lehre von physikalisch-chemischen Inhalten in der universitären Lehramtsausbildung und im gymnasialen Chemieunterricht ist herausfordernd. Mögliche Ursachen hierfür sind das teils hohe Abstraktionsniveau und fehlende Messgeräte. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden kostengünstige Messgeräte entwickelt, mit denen Lernende in typische physikochemische Methoden und deren Anwendungen experimentell eingeführt werden können. Durch offen gestaltete und kontextbezogene Experimente zu Themenfeldern der Spektroskopie, Thermodynamik und Kinetik sollen Lernende einen phänomenologischen Zugang zur physikalischen Chemie finden. Durch eine entsprechende didaktische und experimentelle Aufarbeitung der Konzepte sollen insbesondere Schülerinnen und Schüler ohne größeres Vorwissen für physikalisch-chemische Inhalte im Sinne eines modernen und experimentell orientierten Chemieunterrichts begeistert werden.
We investigate NCl\(_{3}\) and the NCl\(_{2}\) radical by photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The mass selected threshold photoelectron spectrum (ms-TPES) of NCl\(_{3}\) is broad and unstructured due to the large geometry change. An ionization energy of 9.7±0.1 eV is estimated from the spectrum and supported by computations. NCl2 is generated by photolysis at 213 nm from NCl\(_{3}\) and its ms-TPES shows an extended vibrational progression with a 90 meV spacing that is assigned to the symmetric N−Cl stretching mode in the cation. An adiabatic ionization energy of 9.94 ± 0.02 eV is determined.
Phenylpyridyl-fused boroles [TipPBB1]\(_4\) and TipPBB2 were synthesized and their properties investigated. [TipPBB1]\(_4\) forms a tetramer in both the solid state and solution. TipPBB2 contains a 4-coordinate boron atom in the solid state but dissociates to give a 3-coordinate boron species in solution. TipPBB2 shows interesting temperature-dependent dual fluorescence in solution because of the equilibrium between 3- and 4-coordinate boron species due to weak N⋅⋅⋅B intermolecular coordination.
Persistent room-temperature phosphorence from purely organic molecules and multi-component systems
(2021)
Recently, luminophores showing efficient room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have gained tremendous interest due to their numerous applications. However, most phosphors are derived from transition metal complexes because of their intrinsic fast intersystem crossing (ISC) induced by strong spin–orbit coupling (SOC) constants of the heavy metal.
Metal-free RTP materials are rare and have become a promising field because they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. This review summarizes organic molecular materials with long triplet lifetimes at room temperature from the perspective of whether they stem from a molecular or multi-component system. Among purely organic phosphors, heteroatoms are usually introduced into the backbone in order to boost the singlet–triplet ISC rate constant.
In multi-component systems, useful strategies such as host–guest, polymer matrix, copolymerization, and supramolecular assembly provide a rigid matrix to restrict nonradiative pathways thus realizing ultralong RTP.
Investigations concerning the reactivity of the N‐heterocyclic silylene Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi (1, 1,3‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1,3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐en‐2‐ylidene) towards selected alanes and boranes, elemental halides X\(_{2}\) (X=Br, I), selected halide containing substrates such as tin chlorides and halocarbons, as well as organoazides are presented. The NHSi adducts Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi⋅AlI\(_{3}\) (2), Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi⋅Al(C\(_{6}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (3), and Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi⋅B(C\(_{6}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\) (4) were formed by the reaction of Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi with the corresponding Lewis acids AlI\(_{3}\), Al(C\(_{6}\)F\(_{6}\))\(_{3}\) and B(C\(_{6}\)F\(_{5}\))\(_{3}\). Adducts 3 and 4 were tested with respect to their ability to activate small organic molecules, but no frustrated Lewis pair reactivity was observed. Reactions of Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi with Br\(_{2}\), I\(_{2}\), Ph\(_{2}\)SnCl\(_{2}\) and Me\(_{3}\)SnCl led to formation of Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSiBr\(_{2}\) (5), Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSiI\(_{2}\) (6), Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSiCl\(_{2}\) (7) and {(Me\(_{3}\)Sn)N(Dipp)CH}\(_{2}\) (8), respectively. The reaction with the halocarbons methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, and benzyl bromide afforded the insertion products Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi(I)(CH\(_{3}\)) (9), Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi(Cl)(CH\(_{2}\)Ph) (10) and Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi(Br)(CH\(_{2}\)Ph) (11). Reaction of Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi with the organoazides Ad‐N\(_{3}\) (Ad=adamantyl) and TMS‐N\(_{3}\) (TMS=trimethylsilyl) led to the formation of 1‐Dipp\(_{2}\)NHSi‐2,5‐bis(adamantyl)‐tetrazoline (12) and bis(trimethylsilyl)amido azido silane (13), respectively. For 2,6‐(diphenyl)phenyl‐N\(_{3}\) C−H activation occurs and a cyclosilamine 14 was isolated.
A systematic study on Lewis-acid/base adducts of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene cAAC\(^{Me}\) (1-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) with antimony(III) chlorides of the general formula SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl, Ph, Mes) is presented. The reaction of the NHCs Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (1,3-di-isopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), Mes\(_{2}\)Im, Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (R\(_{2}\)Im=1,3-di-organyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene; Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, Dipp=2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) with antimony(III) compounds SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (1), Ph (2) and Mes (3)) yields the adducts NHC ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4), Ph (5) and Mes (6); NHC=Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (a), iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) (b), Dipp\(_{2}\)Im (c) and Mes\(_{2}\)Im (d)) and cAAC\(^{Me}\) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)R (R=Cl (4 e) and Ph (5 e)). Thermal treatment of (Dipp\(_{2}\)Im) ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Ph (5 c) and Mes (6 c)) in benzene leads to isomerization to the backbone coordinated \(^{a}\)NHC-adduct \(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbCl\(_{2}\)Ar (Ar=Mes (7) and Ph (8)) (\(^{"a"}\) denotes “abnormal” coordination mode of the NHC) in high yields. One of the chloride substituents at antimony of 7 can be abstracted by GaCl3 or Ag[BF\(_{4}\)] to obtain the imidazolium salts [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][BF\(_{4}\)] (9) and [\(^{a}\)Dipp\(_{2}\)Im ⋅ SbClMes][GaCl\(_{4}\)] (10).
A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B\(_{2}\)(neop)\(_{2}\) (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I is in equilibrium with the S-bonded isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(SOC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2-TZVP-level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(η\(^{2}\)-{SO}-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5.
This thesis describes the synthesis and reactivity of NHC-stabilized Lewis-acid/Lewis-base adducts of alanes and gallanes (NHC = Me2ImMe, iPr2Im, iPr2ImMe, Dipp2Im, Dipp2ImH). As this field of research has developed tremendously, especially in the last five years, the first chapter provides an overview of the current state of knowledge.
The influence of electronegative π-donor-substituents on the stability of the NHC alane adducts is examined in chapter 2. For this purpose, the carbene stabilized alanes (NHC)∙AlH3 (NHC = iPr2Im, Dipp2Im) were reacted with secondary amines of different steric demand and with phenols. The π-donor substituents saturate the Lewis acidic aluminium center and coordination of a second NHC-ligand was not observed. The strongly electronegative N and O substituents increase the Lewis acidity of the aluminium atom, which leads to stronger Al-CNHC as well as Al-H bonds, which inhibits the insertion of the carbene into the Al-H bond.
In Chapter 3 the development of the synthesis and reactivity of carbene-stabilized gallanes is presented. The synthesis of NHC gallane adducts (NHC)∙GaH3, (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 and their reactivity towards NHCs and cAACMe were investigated in detail. The reaction of the mono- and dichlorogallanes (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 (NHC = iPr2ImMe, Dipp2Im) with cAACMe led to insertion of the cAACMe with formation of chiral and achiral compounds depending on the sterically demand of the used NHC. Furthermore, the formation of bis-alkylgallanes was observed for the insertion of two equivalents of cAACMe with release of the NHC ligand.
Chapter 4 describes investigations concerning the synthesis and reactivity of NHC-stabilized iodoalanes and iodogallanes, which are suitable for the formation of cationic aluminium and gallium dihydrides. The reaction of (NHC)∙EH2I (E = Al, Ga) stabilized by the sterically less demanding NHCs (NHC = Me2ImMe, iPr2Im, iPr2ImMe) with an additional equivalent of the NHC led to the formation of the cationic bis-NHC aluminium and gallium dihydrides [(NHC)2∙AlH2]+I- and [(NHC)2∙GaH2]+I-. Furthermore, the influence of the steric demand of the used NHC was investigated. The adduct (Dipp2Im)∙GaH2I was reacted with an additional equivalent of Dipp2Im. Due to the bulk of the NHC used, rearrangement of one of the NHC ligands from normal to abnormal coordination occurred and the cationic gallium dihydride [(Dipp2Im)∙GaH2(aDipp2Im)] was isolated.
Chapter 5 of this thesis reports investigations concerning the reduction of cyclopentadienyl-substituted alanes and gallanes with singlet carbenes. NHC stabilized pentamethylcyclopentadienyl aluminium and gallium dihydrides (NHC)∙Cp*MH2 (E = Al, Ga) were prepared by the reaction of (AlH2Cp*)3 with the corresponding NHCs or by the salt elimination of (NHC)∙GaH2I with KCp*. The gallane adducts decompose at higher temperatures with reductive elimination of Cp*H and formation of Cp*GaI. . The reductive elimination is preferred for sterically demanding NHCs (Dipp2Im > iPr2ImMe > Me2ImMe). In addition, NHC ring expansion of the backbone saturated carbene Dipp2ImH was observed for the reaction of the NHC with (AlH2Cp*)3, which led to (RER-Dipp2ImHH2)AlCp*. Furthermore, the reactivity of the adducts (NHC)∙Cp*EH2 (E = Al, Ga) towards cAACMe was investigated. The reaction of the alane adducts stabilized by the sterically more demanding NHCs iPr2ImMe and Dipp2Im afforded the exceptionally stable insertion product (cAACMeH)Cp*AlH V-10 with liberation of the NHC. The reaction of the gallium hydrides (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe led to the reductive elimination of cAACMeH2 and formation of Cp*GaI.
A variety of neutral and cationic carbene-stabilized alanes and gallanes are presented in this work. The introduction of electronegative π-donor substituents (Cl-, I-, OR-, NR2-) and the investigations on the thermal stability of these compounds led to the conclusion that the stability of alanes and gallanes increased significantly by such a substitution. Investigations on the reactivity of the NHC adducts towards cAACMe resulted in various insertion products of the carbene into the Al-H or Ga-H bonds and the first cAACMe stabilized dichlorogallane was isolated. Furthermore, a first proof was provided that carbenes can be used specifically for the (formal) reduction of group 13 hydrides of the higher homologues. Thus, the synthesis of Cp*GaI from the reaction of (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe was developed. In the future, this reaction pathway could be of interest for the preparation of other low-valent compounds of aluminium and gallium.
Zwei Arten helikal-chiraler Verbindungen mit einem oder zwei Boratomen wurden nach einem modularen Ansatz synthetisiert. Die Bildung der helikalen Strukturen erfolgte durch Einführung von Bor in flexible Biaryl- bzw. Triaryl-Vorstufen, hergestellt aus kleinen achiralen Bausteinen. Die durchgehend ortho-fusionierten Azabora[7]helicene zeichnen sich dabei durch außergewöhnliche Konfigurationsstabilität, blaue oder grüne Fluoreszenz in Lösung mit Quantenausbeuten (Φ\(_{fl}\)) von 18–24 %, grüne oder gelbe Emission im Festkörper (Φ\(_{fl}\) bis zu 23 %) und starke chiroptische Resonanz mit großen Anisotropiefaktoren von bis zu 1.12×10\(^{-2}\) aus. Azabora[9]helicene, aufgebaut aus winkelförmig sowie linear angeordneten Ringen, sind blaue Emitter mit Φ\(_{fl}\) von bis zu 47 % in CH\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{2}\) und 25 % im Festkörper. DFT-Rechnungen zeigen, dass ihre P-M-Interkonversion über einen komplexeren Weg verläuft als im Fall von H1. Röntgenstrukturanalyse von Einkristallen zeigt deutliche Unterschiede in der Packungsanordnung von Methyl- und Phenylderivaten auf. Die Moleküle werden als Primärstrukturen verlängerter Helices vorgeschlagen.
Two types of helically chiral compounds bearing one and two boron atoms were synthesized by a modular approach. Formation of the helical scaffolds was executed by the introduction of boron to flexible biaryl and triaryl derived from small achiral building blocks. All‐ortho‐fused azabora[7]helicenes feature exceptional configurational stability, blue or green fluorescence with quantum yields (Φ\(_{fl}\)) of 18–24 % in solution, green or yellow solid‐state emission (Φ\(_{fl}\) up to 23 %), and strong chiroptical response with large dissymmetry factors of up to 1.12×10\(^{-2}\). Azabora[9]helicenes consisting of angularly and linearly fused rings are blue emitters exhibiting Φ\(_{fl}\) of up to 47 % in CH\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{2}\) and 25 % in the solid state. As revealed by the DFT calculations, their P–M interconversion pathway is more complex than that of H1. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis shows clear differences in the packing arrangement of methyl and phenyl derivatives. These molecules are proposed as primary structures of extended helices.
The substitution of selected CC units by their isoelectronic and isosteric BN units in π−conjugated organic compounds (BN/CC isosterism), especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has emerged as a viable strategy to produce novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials with structural similarities to their all-carbon congeners, but in many cases with intriguing properties and functions.
In the first two chapters the synthesis and properties of novel BNB-doped phenalenyls, dithienoazadiborepins and dithienooxadiborepins are presented. The optoelectronic properties of these new building blocks can be effectively tuned by variation of the incorporated Ar (Mes, Tip, FMes) and R groups (H, Me, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph). Theoretical investigations, including NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift) scans and AICD (Anisotropy of the Induced Current Density) calculations, have been performed which provide insight into their aromatic or antiaromatic character, respectively.
The incorporation of BP units, on the other hand, which are valence isoelectronic with BN and CC, into unsaturated organic compounds, has been scarcely studied, though the potential of the resulting BCP hybrid materials for electronic applications has been recognized quite recently. Main chain conjugated polymers featuring BP fragments in the backbone are unknown so far. The first molecular model compounds for a BP analogue of the conjugated polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) are presented in chapter 3. Theoretical investigations revealed that the Mes* group to fully planarizes the phosphorus center, increasing the B=P double bond character and enabling conjugation over the BP unit. Different synthetic approaches to the molecular model compounds have been investigated and a viable synthetic strategy was found.
Kohlenstoffmonoxid ist ein wichtiges kleines Signalmolekül das im menschlichen Körper durch die enzymatische Wirkung von Häm-Oxygenase (HO) auf Häm produziert wird. Für eine thera-peutische Anwendung werden Metallcarbonyl-Komplexe als CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) untersucht, die eine kontrollierte Freisetzung in biologischen Zielstrukturen erlauben. Dafür wird entweder die Ligandenperipherie ("drug sphere") modifiziert oder die CORMs an bio-molekulare Trägersysteme konjugiert.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit stand dabei die lichtinduzierte Freisetzung von Kohlenstoffmonoxid aus Mangan(I)tricarbonyl-Komplexen im Vordergrund. Die oktaedrische Koordinationssphäre des Metallzentrums wurde dabei durch verschiedene faciale tridentate Liganden komplettiert, welche außerdem eine einfache und modulare Verknüpfung mit biologischen Träger-molekülen ermöglichen sollten. Als Chelatoren wurden Derivate von N,N-Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amin (bpa) ausgewählt, in denen das zentrale Stickstoffatom mit Alkylaminen unterschiedlicher Kettenlänge funktionalisiert ist, welche über Amid-Bindungen mit Carboxylat-modifizierten Trägermolekülen verknüpft werden können. Diesen bpa-Liganden sollte ein neuartiges Ligandensystem auf der Basis von N-(Phenanthridin-6-ylmethyl)-N-(chinolin-2-ylmethyl)ethan-1,2-diamin (pqen) gegenübergestellt werden, in denen die Phenanthridin-Gruppe interessante photophysikalische und photochemische Eigenschaften erwarten lässt. Die CO-releasing molecules sollten zudem mit den isostrukturellen Rhenium(I)tricarbonyl-Komplexen verglichen werden, die als Marker für die Fluoreszenz-mikroskopie dienen.
With the rapid development of the hexadehydro‐Diels‐Alder reaction (HDDA) from its first discovery in 1997, the question of whether a concerted or stepwise mechanism better describes the thermally activated formation of ortho‐benzyne from a diyne and a diynophile has been debated. Mechanistic and kinetic investigations were able to show that this is not a black or white situation, as minor changes can tip the balance. For that reason, especially, linked yne‐diynes were studied to examine steric, electronic, and radical‐stabilizing effects of their terminal substituents on the reaction mechanism and kinetics. Furthermore, the influence of the nature of the linker on the HDDA reaction was explored. The more recently discovered photochemical HDDA reaction also gives ortho‐arynes, which display the same reactivity as the thermally generated ones, but their formation might not proceed by the same mechanism. This minireview summarizes the current state of mechanistic understanding of the HDDA reaction.
Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit galten Kupfer(I)-emitter als vielversprechende Alternativen zu den bis dato führenden Iridium(III)-emittern, waren dabei aber nur sehr selten tatsächlich kompetitiv. Die oftmals verwendenten chelatisierenden Diimin- bzw. Phosphanliganden als π-Chromophorligand ermöglichten bei diesen Kupfer(I)-emittern die Nutzung von TADF als Emissionsmechanismus, womit in seltenen Fällen strahlenden Ratenkonstanten von kr > 105 s-1 erreicht wurden. Diese Werte konnten allerdings nicht für den gesamten sichtbaren Spektralbereich erzielt werden, was auf eingeschränkte Modifikationsmöglichkeiten sowie unvollständige Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen zurückgeführt werden kann. Erklärtes Ziel dieser Arbeit war es folglich, die Modifikationsmöglichkeiten von Kupfer(I)-emittern deutlich zu vergrößern. Hierbei wurde besonderes Augenmerk auf die Verwendung von Carbenen als monodentaten π-Chromophorliganden gelegt.
Ausgehend von MeCAAC bzw. verschiedenen CAArCs konnte eine Bandbreite von Kupfer(I)- sowie Zink(II)-verbindungen synthetisiert sowie charakterisiert werden. Die durchgeführten Photolumineszenzstudien zeigen eindrucksvoll die Chromophoreigenschaften der verwendeten Carbene auf, werden doch Quantenausbeuten bis nahezu 1 sowie strahlende Ratenkonstanten von bis zu 9·105 s-1 erreicht. Es gelang somit also, Kupfer(I)-carbenverbindungen als vielversprechende Emitterklasse zu etablieren.
In einem zweiten Bereich wurden anschließend erste Versuche unternommen, die gewonnen Erkenntnisse auf das Feld der Zink(II)-carbenverbindungen zu übertragen. Dabei konnten wichtige Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich Struktur und Stabilität Zink(II)-MeCAAC-verbindungen erhalten werden.
Lewisbasenstabilisierte Bor-Bor-Mehrfachbindungssysteme - Darstellung und Reaktivitätsstudien
(2021)
Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Darstellung und Reaktivität von Lewisbasenstabilisierten Bor-Bor-Mehrfachbindungssystemen.
Besonderes Augenmerk lag hierbei auf der Aktivierung von Element-Wasserstoff-Bindungen von Boranen, Aminen, Silanen und Phosphanen durch NHC-stabilisierte Diborine. Des Weiteren wurde die Aktivierung von Bor-Bor-, sowie Phosphor-Phosphor-Einfachbindungen untersucht. Zusätzlich wurde die Reaktivität gegenüber Carbenen und aromatischen Stickstoffbasen näher beleuchtet.
The NHC-stabilised diboryne (B\(_2\)(SIDep)\(_2\); SIDep=1,3-bis(2,6-diethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) undergoes a high-yielding P−P bond activation with tetraethyldiphosphine at room temperature to form a B\(_2\)P\(_2\) heterocycle via a diphosphoryldiborene by 1,2-diphosphination. The heterocycle can be oxidised to a radical cation and a dication, respectively, depending on the oxidant used and its counterion. Starting from the planar, neutral 1,3-bis(alkylidene)-1,3-diborata-2,4-diphosphoniocyclobutane, each oxidation step leads to decreased B−B distances and loss of planarity by cationisation. X-ray analyses in conjunction with DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations reveal closed-shell singlet, butterfly-shaped structures for the NHC-stabilised dicationic B\(_2\)P\(_2\) rings, with their diradicaloid, planar-ring isomers lying close in energy.
The concepts of aromaticity and antiaromaticity have a long history, and countless demonstrations of these phenomena have been made with molecules based on elements from the p, d, and f blocks of the periodic table. In contrast, the limited oxidation‐state flexibility of the s‐block metals has long stood in the way of their participation in sophisticated π‐bonding arrangements, and truly antiaromatic systems containing s‐block metals are altogether absent or remain poorly defined. Using spectroscopic, structural, and computational techniques, we present herein the synthesis and authentication of a heterocyclic compound containing the alkaline earth metal beryllium that exhibits significant antiaromaticity, and detail its chemical reduction and Lewis‐base‐coordination chemistry.
The introductory chapter reviews the current state of mechanistic understanding of the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction. With the rapid development of the HDDA reaction from its first discovery in 1997, the question of whether a concerted or stepwise mechanism better describes the thermally activated formation of ortho-benzyne from a diyne and a diynophile has been debated. Mechanistic and kinetic investigations were able to show that this is not a black or white situation, as minor changes can tip the balance. In chapter 2 of this thesis, the catalytic process leading from 1,11-bis(p-tolyl)undeca-1,3,8,10-tetrayne to fully-substituted naphthalene and azulene derivatives, by two different platinum-catalyzed dimerization pathways, was investigated. In chapter 3, the cannibalistic self-trapping reaction of an ortho-benzyne derivative generated from 1,11-bis(p-tolyl)undeca-1,3,8,10-tetrayne in an HDDA reaction was investigated. Without adding any specific trapping agent, the highly reactive benzyne is trapped by another bisdiyne molecule in at least three different modes. In chapter 4 direct UV/VIS spectroscopic evidence for the existence of an o-benzyne in solution is reported, and the dynamics of its formation in a photo-induced reaction are established. For this purpose, 1,11-bis(p-tolyl)undeca-1,3,8,10-tetrayne was investigated, using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet/visible region. In chapter 5, following the isolation and characterization of the reaction products discussed in chapter 3, further species resulting from reactions of the highly reactive ortho-benzyne derivative were identified.
A series of 9-borafluorene derivatives, functionalised with electron-donating groups, have been prepared. Some of these 9-borafluorene compounds exhibit strong yellowish emission in solution and in the solid state with relatively high quantum yields (up to 73.6 % for FMesB-Cz as a neat film). The results suggest that the highly twisted donor groups suppress charge transfer, but the intrinsic photophysical properties of the 9-borafluorene systems remain. The new compounds showed enhanced stability towards the atmosphere, and exhibited excellent thermal stability, revealing their potential for application in materials science. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices were fabricated with two of the highly emissive compounds, and they exhibited strong yellow-greenish electroluminescence, with a maximum luminance intensity of >22 000 cd m\(^{-2}\). These are the first two examples of 9-borafluorene derivatives being used as light-emitting materials in OLED devices, and they have enabled us to achieve a balance between maintaining their intrinsic properties while improving their stability.
