The triorgano bismuth compound [Bi(CH2C6H4Cl-2)3]2 (2) was characterized by an X-ray single-crystal structure analysis, which reveals the formation of a two-dimensional network as a result of bismuth−arene π-coordination and π−π-stacking interactions with distances of 3.659 Å (bismuth−arenecentroid) and 3.869 Å (arene centroids), respectively. In order to elucidate the nature of this bonding situation, a quantum mechanical study was carried out. Additionally, a detailed theoretical study on several model compounds of the type BiX3·C6H6 (X = H, Me, OH, OMe, F, Cl, Br) was carried out at the BSSE-corrected MP2/TZVP level of theory in order to develop a better understanding of the bismuth−arene coordination. The calculated bismuth−arene distances in the model compounds BiMe3·C6H6 (∼3.75 Å) and Bi(OMe)3·C6H6 (∼3.35 Å) compare well with experimental values for [Bi(CH2C6H4Cl-2)3]2 (2) and [Bi(OSiPh2 tBu)3]2 (1) of 3.659 and 3.340 Å, respectively. Interaction energies for the model compounds range from 7 kJ/mol for BiMe3·C6H6 to 41 kJ/mol for BiBr3·C6H6.
The reaction of the bismuth silanolates [Bi(OSiR2R')3] (R = R' = Me, Et, iPr; R = Me, R' = tBu) with water has been studied. Partial hydrolysis gave polynuclear bismuth-oxo clusters whereas amorphous bismuth-oxo(hydroxy) silanolates were obtained when an excess of water was used in the hydrolysis reaction. The metathesis reaction of BiCl3 with NaOSiMe3 provided mixtures of heterobimetallic silanolates. The molecular structures of [Bi18Na4O20(OSiMe3)18] (2), [Bi33NaO38(OSiMe3)24].3 C7H8 (3.3 C7H8), [Bi50Na2O64(OH)2(OSiMe3)22].2 C7H8.2H2O (4.2 C7H8.2 H2O), [Bi4O2(OSiEt3)8] (5), [Bi9O7(OSiMe3)13].0.5 C7H8 (6. 0.5C7H8), [Bi18O18(OSiMe3)18)].2C7H8 (7. 2C7H8) and [Bi20O18(OSiMe3)24].3C7H8 (8.3C7H8) are presented and compared with the solid-state structures of [Bi22O26(OSiMe2tBu)14] (9) and beta-Bi2O3. Compound 2 crystallises in the triclinic space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 17.0337(9), b = 19.5750(14), c = 26.6799(16) A, alpha = 72.691(4), beta = 73.113(4) and gamma = 70.985(4) degrees ; compound 3.3C7H8 crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with the lattice constants a = 20.488(4), b = 22.539(5), c = 26.154(5) A and beta = 100.79(3) degrees ; compound 4.2C7H82 H2O crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with the lattice constants a = 20.0518(12), b = 24.1010(15), c = 27.4976(14) A and beta = 103.973(3) degrees ; compound 5 crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with the lattice constants a = 25.256(5), b = 15.372(3), c = 21.306(4) A and beta = 113.96(3) degrees ; compound 6.0.5C7H8 crystallises in the triclinic space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 15.1916(9), b = 15.2439(13), c = 22.487(5) A, alpha = 79.686(3), beta = 74.540(5) and gamma = 66.020(4) degrees ; compound 7.2C7H8 crystallises in the triclinic space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 14.8295(12), b = 16.1523(13), c = 18.4166(17) A, alpha = 75.960(4), beta = 79.112(4) and gamma = 63.789(4) degrees ; and compound 8.3C7H8 crystallises in the triclinic space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 17.2915(14), b = 18.383(2), c = 18.4014(18) A, alpha = 95.120(5), beta = 115.995(5) and gamma = 106.813(5) degrees . The molecular structures of the bismuth-rich compounds are related to the CaF2-type structure. Formally, the hexanuclear [Bi6O8]2+ fragment might be described as the central building unit, which is composed of bismuth atoms placed at the vertices of an octahedron and oxygen atoms capping the trigonal faces. Depending on the reaction conditions and the identity of R, the thermal decomposition of the hydrolysis products [Bi(n)O(l)(OH)(m-)(OSiR3)(3n-(2l-m))] gives alpha-Bi2O3, beta-Bi2O3, Bi12SiO20 or Bi4Si3O12.
The reaction of [Bi(22)O(26)(OSiMe(2)tBu)(14)] (1) in THF with salicylic acid gave [Bi(22)O(24)(HSal)(14)] (2) first, which was converted into [Bi(38)O(45)(HSal)(22)(OH)(2)(DMSO)(16.5)]·DMSO·H(2)O (3·DMSO·H(2)O) after dissolution and crystallization from DMSO. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and ESI mass spectrometry associated with infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) tandem MS experiments confirm the formation of the large and quite stable bismuth oxido cluster 3. The reaction of compound 2 with the butoxycarbonyl(BOC)-protected amino acids phenylalanine and valine (BOC-PheOH and BOC-ValOH), respectively, resulted in the formation of chiral [Bi(38)O(45)(BOC-AA)(22)(OH)(2)] (AA=deprotonated amino acid), as shown by a combination of different analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and ESI mass spectrometry.
The title compound [Bi(OSitBuPh2)3] (1) was prepared by the reaction of [Bi(OtBu)3] with tBuPh2SiOH in toluene at room temperature. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the lattice constants a = 17.610(1), b = 20.153(1), c = 26.655(1) Å and β = 105.503(3)°. In the solid state a dimer is observed as a result of weak bismuth π‐arene interactions. The bismuth arene centroid distance amounts to 3.340(7) Å. Thermolysis of compound 1 performed under argon gave a heterogeneous product. The powder X‐ray diffraction analysis of the latter shows elementary bismuth as the only crystalline phase.
