Two equivalents of LGa (L=HC[C(Me)N(2,6-iPr C H )] ) reacted with PX (X=Cl, Br) with insertion into two P-X bonds and formation of [L(X)Ga] PX (X=Cl 1, Br 2), whereas the analogous reaction with AsCl occurred with twofold insertion and subsequent elimination of LGaCl and formation of the Ga-substituted diarsene [L(Cl)Ga] As (3). Analogous findings were observed in the reactions with Me NAsCl , yielding the unsymmetrically-substituted diarsene [L(Cl)Ga]As=As[Ga(NMe )L] (4). The reaction of As(NMe ) with LGa gave [L(Me N)Ga] As (5) after heating at 165 °C for five days, whereas the reaction with LAl gave [L(Me N)Al] As (6) after heating at only 80 °C for one day. Finally, two equivalents of LGa reacted with Bi(NEt ) to give [L(Et N)Ga] Bi (7). Complexes 1-7 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy ( H, C, P), elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (except for 1 and 5). The bonding situations in 4, 6, and 7 were analyzed by quantum chemical calculations.
[Cp*Sb] (Cp*=C Me ) reacts with [L Mg] and L Ga with formation of [(L Mg) (μ ,η -Sb )] (L =iPr NC[N(2,6-iPr C H )] , 1) and [(L Ga) (μ,η -Sb )] (L =HC[C(Me)N(2,6-iPr C H )] , 2). The cleavage of the Sb-Sb and Sb-C bonds in [Cp*Sb] are the crucial steps in both reactions. The formation of 1 occurred by elimination of the Cp* anion and formation of Cp*MgL , while 2 was formed by reductive elimination of Cp* and oxidative addition of L Ga to the Sb unit. 1 and 2 were characterized by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and their bonding situation was studied by quantum chemical calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
