  • 1 Introduction
    Phosphine-catalysed reductive coupling of Dihalophosphanes Jan-Erik Siewert,[a] André Schumann[a] and Christian Hering-Junghans*[a] [a] M.Sc. Jan-Erik Siewert, Dr. André Schumann, Dr. Chirstian Hering-Junghans Leibniz Institute of Catalysis e.V. Rostock (LIKAT) Albert-Einstein-Straße 29a, 18059 Rostock, Germany E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract Classically, tetraorgano diphosphanes have been synthesized through Wurtz-type reductive coupling of halophosphanes R2PX or more recently, through the dehydrocoupling of phosphines R2PH. Catalytic variants of the dehydrocoupling reaction have been reported but are limited to R2PH compounds. Using PEt3 as a catalyst, we now show that TipPBr2 (Tip = 2,4,6-iPr3C6H2) is selectively coupled to give the dibromodiphosphane (TipPBr)2 (1), a compound not accessible using classic Mg reduction. Surprisingly, when using DipPBr2 (Dip = 2,6-iPr3C6H3) in the PEt3-catalysed reductive coupling the diphosphene (PDip) 2 (2) with a P=P double was formed selectively. In benzene solutions (PDip)2 has a half life-time of ca. 28 days and can be utilized with NHCs to access NHC-phosphinidene adducts. Control experiments show that [BrPEt3]Br is a potential oxidation product in the catalytic cycle, which can be then debrominated by using Zn dust as sacrificial reductant. 1 Introduction The formation of element-element bonds in main group chemistry is still dominated by classic stoichiometric salt metathesis and reductive coupling reactions. Only in S1 recent years, catalytic protocols for the dehydrocoupling of main group (p-block) substrates to species with homonuclear (E−E) or heteronuclear (E−E’) bonds have emerged.1-3 Catalysis with earth-abundant metals, in particular Zr, Fe and Ni,4 has been shown to be a viable alternative to using rather expensive systems based on Rh,5-7 Ir7- 10 and Ru.11 Using main-group species to facilitate the homo- or heterocoupling of p- block elements has also been in the focus of current research.

  • 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. Keywords: silicon, germanium, double bond, synthesis, structure, theoretical calculations

(DLR, German Aerospace Center), Pfaffenwaldring 38, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany. [email protected] ABSTRACT The ideal gas thermochemical properties such as standard heat of formation, entropy and heat capacities of 112 inorganic and 35 organic neutral compounds, radicals and ions containing silicon were calculated using molecular properties obtained with the G3B3 (or G3//B3LYP) method. Among them were linear and cyclic silanes, silenes, hydrocarbonsilanes, fluorine and oxygen containing compounds. Many of their molecular and thermodynamic properties were calculated for the first time and 16 of them had no CAS No. Additionally the thermochemical properties were presented in the NASA 7-term polynomial format for the temperature range of 200 K to 6000 K commonly used in chemical kinetic modeling and simulation programs. The polynomials are available in the supplement to this article free of charge. 2 KEYWORDS Thermodynamic data, Thermochemistry, Thermochemical properties, Heat of formation, Entropy, Enthalpy, Heat capacity, NASA format, Quantum chemical calculation, G3B3 composite approach, Silicon hydride, Silanes, Silicon fluoride, Silicon hydrocarbon, Silicon ions, Silicon compounds, Database INTRODUCTION Silicon containing substances are widely used and important for the mankind.

  • Diiminopyridine Complexes of Ti, Zr and Hf
    Diiminopyridine Complexes of Ti, Zr and Hf By Naser Rahimi A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB, Canada, R3T 2N2 ã Copyright by Naser Rahimi 2018 i To my beloved parents for their endless sacrifices ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the electronic and chemical noninnocence of diiminepyridine (DIP) ligand in its group IV metals complexes. A series of mono- and dialkyl titanium complexes of DIP were synthesized and the oxidation state of the metal and the ligand were characterized by a combination of techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory. It was elucidated that the unpaired electron in III (DIP)TiCl3 is mostly residing in the metal d orbital giving a Ti . Interestingly, one electron III IV reduction of (DIP)TiCl3 to (DIP)TiCl2 led into oxidation of Ti to Ti , subsequently 0 2- reduction of DIP to DIP . The two dialkyl titanium complexes (DIP)TiMe2 and (DIP)Ti(CH2SiMe3)2 was shown to be stable at elevated temperature. Variable temperature (VT) 1H-NMR of the former exhibited a thermal population of the triplet state while the latter displayed a normal dynamic behavior. The formation of (DIP)ZrCl4 was accompanied by a yellow precipitate, but (DIP)HfCl4 stayed in solution. This difference in solubility could very well be due to formation of six- + - coordinate ionic [(DIP)HfCl3] Cl . In contrast to (DIP)TiCl3, attempts to manufacture (DIP)MCl3 (M: Zr, Hf) were unsuccessful.

To access the final edited and published work see DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.8b00555. First-Row Transition Metal (De)hydrogenation Catalysis based on Functional Pincer Ligands Lukas Alig‡, Maximilian Fritz‡, Sven Schneider* Universität Göttingen, Institut für Anorganische Chemie, Tammannstrasse 4, D-37077 Göttingen, Germany ABSTRACT: The use of 3d metals in de-/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with respect to ‘tradi- tional’ precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of functional pincer ligands that can store protons and/or electrons as expressed by metal-ligand cooperativity and ligand redox-activity strongly stimulated this development as conceptual starting point for rational catalyst design. This reviews aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the utilization of functional pincer ligands in first-row transition metal hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysis and re- lated synthetic concepts relying on these such as the hydrogen borrowing methodology. Particular emphasis is put on the implementation and relevance of cooperating and redox-active pincer ligands within the mechanistic scenarios. CONTENTS 3.4. Hydrogenation of Nitriles 1.
