Dispersion Forces and Counterintuitive Steric Effects in Main Group Molecules: Heavier Group 14 (Si-Pb) Dichalcogenolate Carbene Analogues with Sub-90° Interligand Bond Angles

The synthesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of an extensive series of acyclic, monomeric tetrylene dichalcogenolates of formula M(ChAr)2 (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; Ch = O, S, or Se; Ar = bulky m-terphenyl ligand, including two new acyclic silylenes) are described. They were found to possess several unusual features-the most notable of which is their strong tendency to display acute interligand, Ch-M-Ch, bond angles that are often well below 90°. Furthermore, and contrary to normal steric expectations, the interligand angles were found to become narrower as the size of the ligand was increased. Experimental and structural data in conjunction with high-level DFT calculations, in…

Tetracyclic silaheterocycle formed through a pericyclic reaction cascade including a two-fold intramolecular C–C bond activation

Reductive debromination of the tribromoamidosilane 2 gave the tetracyclic silaheterocycle 3 through a unique reaction cascade involving unprecedented two-fold intramolecular cycloaddition by transient silylenes. Experimental and computational analyses of the reaction mechanism allowed the identification of the key intermediates that lead to the silaheterocycle 3 or, alternatively, to the cyclotrisilene 19. peerReviewed

Reversible complexation of ethylene by a silylene under ambient conditions.

Treatment of toluene solutions of the silylenes Si(SArMe6)2 (ArMe6 = C6H3-2,6(C6H2-2,4,6-Me3)2, 1) or Si(SArPri4)2 (ArPri4 = C6H3-2,6(C6H3-2,6-Pri2)2, 2) with excess ethylene gas affords the siliranes (ArMe6S)2tiebar above startSiCH2tiebar above endCH2 (3) or (ArPri4S)2tiebar above startSiCH2tiebar above endCH2 (4). Silirane 4 evolves ethylene spontaneously at room temperature in toluene solution. A Van’t Hoff analysis by variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy showed that ΔGassn = −24.9(2.5) kJ mol–1 for 4. A computational study of the reaction mechanism using a model silylene Si(SPh)2 (Ph = C6H5) was in harmony with the Van’t Hoff analysis, yielding ΔGassn = −24 kJ mol–1 and an activatio…

Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes with an Acyclic Silylene and Heavier Tetrylenes under Ambient Conditions

Cycloaddition reactions of the acyclic silylene Si(SAriPr4)2 (AriPr4 = C6H3-2,6(C6H3-2,6-iPr2)2) with a variety of alkenes and alkynes were investigated. Its reactions with the alkynes phenylacetylene and diphenylacetylene and the diene 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene yielded silacycles (AriPr4S)2tiebar above startSi(CH═tiebar above endCPh) (1), (AriPr4S)2tiebar above startSi(PhC═tiebar above endCPh) (2), and (AriPr4S)2tiebar above startSiCH2CMeCMetiebar above endCH2 (3) at ambient temperature. The compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography, 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. No reaction was observed with more substituted alkenes such as propene, (Z)-2-butene, te…
