UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Professor A. Wojcicki, for his support and guidance. The completion of my experimental work would have been impossible without the collaboration of Carl Engleman (NMR), David Chang (mass spectrometry), and Judith Gallucci (X-ray diffraction analysis). I would like to acknowledge as well the financial support provided by The Ohio State University and the Lubrizol Co. for a graduate fellowship. Thanks to all the members of the Wojcicki group, past and present: Laura L. Padolik, Patrick W. Blosser, Richard R. Willis, Dean E. Rende, Mark W. Baize, Todd R. Dunsizer, Kirsten L. Daniel, and Christopher M. Beck. In addition to constructive chemistry-related discussions, I am appreciative of their moral support and friendship. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my parents whose love, patience, and unconditional support have contributed to the completion of my graduate studies. This dissertation is dedicated to them.

Part 1: y Hemicarbonato and Carbonato Complexes Laurent Plasseraud Institut de Chimie Moléculaire de l’Université de Bourgogne (ICMUB), UMR-CNRS 6302, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 9 avenue A. Savary, F-21078 Dijon, France; [email protected] Paper dedicated to Professor Georg Süss-Fink on the occasion of his 70th birthday. y Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 24 April 2020; Published: 29 April 2020 Abstract: This review focuses on organotin compounds bearing hemicarbonate and carbonate ligands, and whose molecular structures have been previously resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Most of them were isolated within the framework of studies devoted to the reactivity of tin precursors with carbon dioxide at atmospheric or elevated pressure. Alternatively, and essentially for the preparation of some carbonato derivatives, inorganic carbonate salts such as K2CO3, Cs2CO3, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 were also used as coreagents. In terms of the number of X-ray structures, carbonate compounds are the most widely represented (to date, there are 23 depositions in the Cambridge Structural Database), while hemicarbonate derivatives are rarer; only three have so far been characterized in the solid-state, and exclusively for diorganotin complexes. For each compound, the synthesis conditions are first specified. Structural aspects involving, in particular, the modes of coordination of the hemicarbonato and carbonato moieties and the coordination geometry around tin are then described and illustrated (for most cases) by showing molecular representations. Moreover, when they were available in the original reports, some characteristic spectroscopic data are also given for comparison (in table form).

    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

  • Carbonation of a Grignard Preparation of Benzoic Acid
    CARBONATION OF A GRIGNARD PREPARATION OF BENZOIC ACID INTRODUCTION The Grignard is one of the most versatile reactions in organic chemistry. It was used to produce 2-methyl-2-hexanol from bromobutane and acetone. Carboxylic acids may also be prepared by the Grignard reagent. The “Grignard” is an organometallic compound that contains one the most powerful nucleophiles. This carbanion is capable of reacting with something that is only slightly basic like carbon dioxide. This reaction will convert bromobenzene to benzoic acid. The bromobenzene is converted to the Grignard and then added to solid carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide acts as a reactant and as the means to keep the reaction cold. The Grignard is prepared by the process of reflux with addition. In this reaction the glassware and reactants must be kept absolutely dry, as the presence of water will inhibit the reaction. Reactions: Br MgBr Ether + Mg MgBr COOH + H3O + CO2 Week One PROCEDURE 1. PREPARATION OF THE GRIGNARD REAGENT Add 0.1 mole of Mg metal ( 2.43 grams ) to a 100 ml round bottom flask and add 30 ml of anhydrous ether to cover the metal. Clamp the flask to the grid at a height that will allow enough room for heating and cooling. Add 0.1 mole of bromobenzene to a separatory funnel. Attach a Claisen adapter to the round bottom flask and fit the adapter just above with a water cooled column. Attach the separatory funnel to the other connection. Prepare an ice/water bath and position it so that the reaction mixture may be cooled by raising the bath to the round bottom with a lab jack.
