Direct observation of a borane–silane complex involved in frustrated Lewis-pair-mediated hydrosilylations

2014

Perfluorarylborane Lewis acids catalyse the addition of silicon–hydrogen bonds across C=C, C=N and C=O double bonds. This ‘metal-free’ hydrosilylation has been proposed to occur via borane activation of the silane Si–H bond, rather than through classical Lewis acid/base adducts with the substrate. However, the key borane/silane adduct had not been observed experimentally. Here it is shown that the strongly Lewis acidic, antiaromatic 1,2,3-tris(pentafluorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoro-1-boraindene forms an observable, isolable adduct with ​triethylsilane. The equilibrium for adduct formation was studied quantitatively through variable-temperature NMR spectroscopic investigations. The interacti…

Crystal structure of tricarbonyl(μ-diphenylphosphido-κ2P:P)(methyldiphenylsilyl-κSi)bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)iron(II)platinum(0)(Fe—Pt)

2015

The title compound belongs to the large family of heterodinuclear phosphide-bridged complexes. The Fe—Pt bond is of 2.7738 (4) Å and there is an unprecedented arrangement of the silyl ligand in a trans-position with respect to the metal–metal vector in the family of phosphide-bridged iron–platinum heterobimetallics.

Rotational spectrum of silyl chloride: hyperfine structure and equilibrium geometry

2012

The Lamb-dip technique was employed to record the rotational spectra of two isotopic species of silyl chloride, namely (28)SiH3Cl and (29)SiH3Cl, in order to investigate their hyperfine structure. High-accuracy quantum-chemical computations were employed to predict the hyperfine parameters involved and to support the experimental investigation. Analysis of the experimental spectra led to an improvement in the accuracy of the known spectroscopic constants as well as allowed us to determine additional spectroscopic parameters for the first time. Furthermore, the equilibrium structure of silyl chloride was reinvestigated using both theoretical and experimental data. The best theoretical and se…

Magnetic Core–Shell Nanoparticles as Carriers for Olefin Dimerization Catalysts

2013

We report the covalent support of functionalized nickel complexes on magnetic core–shell hybrid particles γ-Fe2O3/SiO2. Two completely different ways of connecting the particle with these nickel complexes were carried out. The first approach used the hydrosilylation method between the alkene-substituted nickel complex and a silane. In a second approach, the particles were connected with the complexes by means of click chemistry (copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition). For this purpose, the nickel complexes were substituted with an alkyne moiety. Transmission and scanning electron microscopies, energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy were the methods employed …

Stereoselective glycosylation of Alcohols and Silyl Ethers Using Glycosyl Fluorides and Boron Trifluoride Etherate

1985

The stereoselective glycosylation of alcohols and their silyl ethers has been achieved using O-alkyl-, O-acyl-, and acetal-protected glycosyl fluorides of the pyranose and furanose series and boron trifluoride etherate in CH2Cl2.
