Bonding and Structure of Disilenes and Related Unsaturated Group-14 Element Compounds No. 5] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 167 Review Bonding and structure of disilenes and related unsaturated group-14 element compounds † By Mitsuo KIRA*1, (Communicated by Hitosi NOZAKI, M.J.A.) Abstract: Structure and properties of silicon-silicon doubly bonded compounds (disilenes) are shown to be remarkably different from those of alkenes. X-Ray structural analysis of a series of acyclic tetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilenes has shown that the geometry of these disilenes is quite flexible, and planar, twist or trans-bent depending on the bulkiness and shape of the trialkylsilyl substituents. Thermal and photochemical interconversion between a cyclotetrasilene and the corresponding bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane occurs via either 1,2-silyl migration or a concerted electrocyclic reaction depending on the ring substituents without intermediacy of the corresponding tetrasila-1,3-diene. Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a stable spiropentasiladiene have revealed a unique feature of the spiroconjugation in this system. Starting with a stable dialkylsilylene, a number of elaborated disilenes including trisilaallene and its germanium congeners are synthesized. Unlike carbon allenes, the trisilaallene has remarkably bent and fluxional geometry, suggesting the importance of the :-<* orbital mixing. 14-Electron three-coordinate disilene- palladium complexes are found to have much stronger :-complex character than related 16-electron tetracoordinate complexes.

MakInG sTrIDes In Genome EDITInG: THe DIGITaL, CHemIcaL, anD BIoLogIcaL Dear Fellow Researchers: You may not know that MilliporeSigma can make DNA from scratch, using 100% synthetic chemical methods—no living cells and no fermentation necessary. Our DNA synthesis facilities in The Woodlands (Texas) and Haverhill (U.K.) receive thousands of DNA orders daily from scientists all over the world. A small piece of DNA, one hundred bases long, gives scientists 4100 possibilities using only the fundamental letters of our genetic code (A,C,G,T). Included within these options is the opportunity for a researcher to open a common text editor on his or her PC and design a 100-base piece of DNA. This piece of DNA could help study diseases ranging from sickle cell anemia and blindness to cystic fibrosis by using CRISPR. To get started, scientists cut this 100-base DNA text from the text editor and paste it into MilliporeSigma’s online ordering system. The corresponding DNA piece that likely has never existed before is then delivered to them in 24–48 hours. Once received, this piece of DNA is mixed with CRISPR and living cells, and, with a “blast” of electricity, these synthetic chemical pieces activate the cell to edit the genome.

  • The Chemistry of Carbene-Stabilized
    THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBENE-STABILIZED MAIN GROUP DIATOMIC ALLOTROPES by MARIHAM ABRAHAM (Under the Direction of Gregory H. Robinson) ABSTRACT The syntheses and molecular structures of carbene-stabilized arsenic derivatives of 1 1 i 1 1 AsCl3 (L :AsCl3 (1); L : = :C{N(2,6- Pr2C6H3)CH}2), and As2 (L :As–As:L (2)), are presented herein. The potassium graphite reduction of 1 afforded the carbene-stabilized diarsenic complex, 2. Notably, compound 2 is the first Lewis base stabilized diatomic molecule of the Group 13–15 elements, in the formal oxidation state of zero, in the fourth period or lower of the Periodic Table. Compound 2 contains one As–As σ-bond and two lone pairs of electrons on each arsenic atom. In an effort to study the chemistry of the electron-rich compound 2, it was combined with an electron-deficient Lewis acid, GaCl3. The addition of two equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in one-electron oxidation of 2 to 1 1 •+ – •+ – give [L :As As:L ] [GaCl4] (6 [GaCl4] ). Conversely, the addition of four equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in two- electron oxidation of 2 to give 1 1 2+ – 2+ – •+ [L :As=As:L ] [GaCl4 ]2 (6 [GaCl4 ]2). Strikingly, 6 represents the first arsenic radical to be structurally characterized in the solid state. The research project also explored the reactivity of carbene-stabilized disilicon, (L1:Si=Si:L1 (7)), with borane. The reaction of 7 with BH3·THF afforded two unique compounds: one containing a parent silylene (:SiH2) unit (8), and another containing a three-membered silylene ring (9).

NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis suggest that the aryl-substituted silenolates 2b,c exhibit increased character of functionalized silenes as compared to the alkyl-substituted derivative 2a due to the different coordination of the K+ counterion to the SiC(R)O moiety. 2b,c, thus, reacted with ClSiiPr3 to give the exocyclic silenes (Me3Si)2Si(Si2Me4)2Si C(OSiiPr3)R (3b:R = Mes; 3c: o-Tol), while 2a afforded the Si-silylated acylcyclohex- asilane 1d.

The meeting was a great success with more than 150 participants, which included about 60 students. The informal atmosphere, leading to vibrant scientific discussions, showed how well integrated the South and North American photochemical communities are. The participation of so many young photochemists bodes well for the future of the photosciences and of the society. During the meeting the society awards were presented to Dan Nocera (I-APS award), Mohammad A. Omary (Young Investigator Award), Ryan C.

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. 6677. https://lib.dr.iastate.edu/rtd/6677 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Iowa State University Capstones, Theses and Dissertations at Iowa State University Digital Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Retrospective Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Iowa State University Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy.

  • Organosilicon Compounds for Organic Synthesis
    Organosilicon Compounds For Organic Synthesis Introduction Recently, the use of organosilicon compounds in organic chemistry has become an increasingly important field. As such, Shin-Etsu Chemical has been a key supplier for many silylating agents currently in use while also searching for and developing new and useful organosilicon compounds. This booklet introduces several newly developed silylating agents and organosilicon compounds, including references for their application. SILYLATING AGENTS General Definition Silylating agents are reagents that are used to replace the active hydrogen of a chemical species with a silyl group (-Si RR'R"). For example,functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH2, -CONH2, and -SH are converted to -OSiRR'R", -COOSiRR'R", -NHSiRR'R", CONHSiRR'R", and -SSiRR'R",respectively. Purpose In general, the replacement of active hydrogens significantly decreases the reactivity of a functional group and dramatically reduces polar interactions such as hydrogen bonding. These replacements can be carried out for many specific reasons, but typically fall under one or more of the following objectives: (1) Protecting a reactive functional group during one or more chemical reactions (2) Improving the selectivity of a chemical reaction (3) Improving stability during distillation (4) Improving solubility in polar and/or non-polar solvents (5) Increasing volatility by reducing or eliminating hydrogen-bonding How To Select? The most common silylating agents used on an industrial scale are listed in Table I. Reactivity, type of by-product, price, and availability are often important factors that must be considered when the synthetic process is developed. Another important factor to be considered, the stability of the resultant silylated functional group, is largely determined by the combined steric bulk of the alkyl groups attached to silicon (R, R', and R").
