A Theoretical Study of Substituent Effects on Germanium−Phosphorus Triple Bonds

Abstract: To extend our knowledge of the germanium-phosphorus triple bond, the isomerization reactions of singlet XGeP (i.e., XGetP f TS f GedPX; X ) H, Li, BeH, BH 2 , CH 3 , SiH 3 , NH 2 , PH 2 , OH, SH, F, and Cl) were investigated using B3LYP and CCSD(T) calculations. It is found that electronegative and π-electrondonating substituents (X) can stabilize the XGetP triply bonded species in a kinetic sense, although germanium is less reluctant to form GedP doubly bonded than GetP triply bonded compounds.

“…In the same manner, the energy gain upon isomerisation increases in the sequence Ge < Sn < Pb from −30.7 to −72.0 and −121.2 kJ/mol. Both trends highlight that for the heaviest congener, the initially formed [( dtbp Cbz)EP] is least thermodynamically favourable and most likely to rearrange which is in line with previous computational work by Su and co‐workers [44−46] . Consequently, such isomerisation process was only observed for the photolysis of the Pb derivative [( dtbp Cbz)PbPCO].…”

“…While examples for transition-metal complexed silylynes and germylynes have been reported, [4][5][6] triple bonds of silicon and germanium towards other main group elements have not to date been stabilized, despite theoretical predictions. [7,8] In this respect, 1,2-chlorosilane elimination has proven to be unsuccessful, while the analogous chlorostannane elimination has not been exploited for this purpose to date. This prompted us to investigate whether chlorostannane elimination might be a better alternative for generating unsaturated PSi and PGe units.…”
