Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit war es möglich, diverse dinukleare Platinphosphankomplexe darzustellen, wodurch unteranderem neuartige unsymmetrische (N- Aminoboryl)aminoboryl Pt-Komplexe, Borandiyl- und Diboran-1,2-diyl-verbrückte Diplatin-A-Frame Komplexe synthetisiert und charakterisiert werden konnten. Der abschließende Teil dieser Arbeit befasst sich mit den ersten Versuchen zur Darstellung von Polyboranen durch eine Palladium-vermittelte Kreuzkupplungsreaktion.
We report the generation, spectroscopic characterization, and computational analysis of the first free (non-stabilized) organometallic bismuthinidene, BiMe. The title compound was generated in situ from BiMe\(_3\) by controlled homolytic Bi–C bond cleavage in the gas phase. Its electronic structure was characterized by a combination of photoion mass-selected threshold photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT as well as multi-reference computations. A triplet ground state was identified and an ionization energy (IE) of 7.88 eV was experimentally determined. Methyl abstraction from BiMe\(_3\) to give [BiMe(_2\)]• is a key step in the generation of BiMe. We reaveal a bond dissociation energy of 210 ± 7 kJ mol\(^{−1}\), which is substantially higher than the previously accepted value. Nevertheless, the homolytic cleavage of Me–BiMe\(_2\) bonds could be achieved at moderate temperatures (60–120 °C) in the condensed phase, suggesting that [BiMe\(_2\)]• and BiMe are accessible as reactive intermediates under these conditions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is generally acknowledged that polyfluoroarenes are important fluorinated structural units for various organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Polyfluorinated aryl alkynes and alcohols are also powerful building blocks in chemical synthesis because of their versatility to be transformed into various useful molecules and also their ubiquity in natural product synthesis. Efficient methods for the synthesis of polyfluorinated aryl alkynes and alcohols are presented in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. In addition, 3-amino-indoles have found a broad applications in medicinal chemistry as effective anticancer agents, compounds with analgesic properties and can function as potent inhibitors of tubulin polymerization, and agents for the prevention of type II diabetes. A simple method for the synthesis of 3-amino-indoles via the annulation reaction of polyfluorophenylboronates with DMF is reported in Chapter 4.
Chapter 2
In Chapter 2, a mild process for the copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of electron-deficient polyfluorophenylboronate esters with terminal alkynes (Scheme S-1) is reported. This method displays good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, generating cross-coupled alkynyl(fluoro)arene products in moderate to excellent yields. This copper-catalyzed reaction was conducted on a gram scale to generate the corresponding product in good yield (72%).
Scheme S-1. Copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with polyfluorophenylboronate esters.
Based on previous reports and the aforementioned observations, a plausible catalytic cycle for this oxidative cross-coupling reaction is shown in Scheme S-2. The first step involves the addition of an alkynyl anion to Cu leading to the formation of alkynylcopper(II) species B. Subsequent transmetalation between ArFBpin and intermediate B occurs to form intermediate C. The desired product 3a is generated by eductive elimination. Finally, the oxidation of Cu(0) to Cu(II) with DDQ and Ag2O regenerates A to complete the catalytic cycle.

Chapter 3
In Chapter 3, A convenient and efficient 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 (Scheme S-3). 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.
Scheme S-3. Base-promoted 1,2-addition of polyfluorophenylboronates to aldehydes and ketones.
Control experiments were carried out to gain insight into the reaction mechanism. The reaction of 2a with pentafluorobenzene 5 under standard conditions was examined, yet 3a was not formed in any detectable amounts (Scheme S-4a), indicating that the C-Bpin moiety is essential and deprotonation of the fluoroarene or nucleophilic attack at the fluoroarene by the base is not a plausible pathway. Interestingly, for the standard reaction between 1a and 2a, the yield dropped dramatically if 18-crown-6 ether and K2CO3 were added (Scheme S-4b). This experimental result indicates that the presence of the potassium ion plays a crucial role for the outcome of the reaction. Furthermore, if the reaction of 1a and 2a was performed in the presence of only a catalytic amount of K2CO3 (20 mol%) (Scheme S-4c), reaction rates were reduced, and a week was required to produce 3a in good yield. This finding again indicates that the potassium ion (or the base) plays an important role in the reaction. Substituting ortho-fluorines by ortho-chlorines, using either C6Cl5Bpin 2,6-dichlorophenyl-1-Bpin as substrates, did not yield any product as shown by in situ GCMS studies.
Scheme S-4. Control experiments.
Based on DFT calculations, a mechanism for the 1,2-addition of polyfluorophenylboronates to aryl aldehydes in the presence of K2CO3 as base is proposed, as shown in Scheme S-5. K2CO3 interacts with the Lewis-acidic Bpin moiety of substrate 1 to generate base adduct A, which weakens the carbon-boron bond and ultimately cleaves the BC bond along with attachment of a potassium cation to the aryl group. The resulting ArF- anion adduct B undergoes nucleophilic attack at the aldehyde carbon atom of substrate 2 to generate methanolate C. The methanolate oxygen atom then attacks the electrophilic Bpin group to obtain compound D. Transfer of K2CO3 from intermediate D to the boron atom of the more Lewis-acidic polyfluorophenyl-Bpin 1 finally closes the cycle and regenerates complex A. Thus, the primary reaction product is the O-borylated addition product E, which was detected by HRMS and NMR spectroscopy for the perfluorinated derivative.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4 presents a novel protocol for the transition metal-free addition and annulation of polyfluoroarylboronate esters to DMF, which provides 3-aminoindoles and tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme S-6).

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 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.
