SO2 Activation by the Bis(guanidinato)silylene [iPrNC(NiPr2)NiPr]2Si: Formation of Neutral Six‐Coordinate Silicon(IV) Complexes with a Chelating Sulfito or Dithionito Ligand
Abstract:Activation of SO 2 by the donor-stabilized bis(guanidinato)silylene [iPrNC(NiPr 2 )NiPr] 2 Si (7) leads to the six-coordinate sulfitosilicon(IV) complex 12 (obtained by treatment of 7 with 1.5 molar equivalents of SO 2 in n-hexane) or the six-coordinate dithionitosilicon(IV) complex 13 (a co-crystallizate of cis-13 and trans-13; obtained by treatment of 7 with a vast excess
“…2,20−22 Amine derivatives are employed for this purpose. 21 Presently, frustrated Lewis pairs, 20,23 phosphine derivatives, 24,25 ionic liquids, 11,26−29 metal−organic frameworks, 30−33 and silylene complexes 22,34 are the front runners of SO 2 sequestering agents.…”
The sequestering and complete conversion of SO 2 to valuable chemicals in a metal-free pathway is highly demanded. The recent success of SO 2 fixation by N-heterocyclic carbenes instigated further studies in this regard. Previous reports were confined within the carbene−SO 2 reaction mechanism and the stability of oxathiirane S-oxide derivatives. The complete conversion of captured SO 2 to precious chemicals was not studied. The present inquisition has accomplished the scarcity of the earlier studies. It is observed that in the presence of an excess amount of carbene, the registered SO 2 is converted to the ketone derivative and thiocarbonyl S-oxide derivative. An electronic level investigation of these reactions is carried out. From the change of the molecular orbitals along the reaction path, it is concluded that the reaction between the oxathiirane S-oxide derivative and carbene follows a frog's hunting mechanism.

“…Using bis(guanidinato)silylenes the reaction with SO 2 in hexane resulted in the formation of a six-coordinate sulfitosilicon( iv ) species whereas in liquid SO 2 a dithionitosilicon( iv ) complex was obtained, in which S–S-coupling was achieved (Scheme 1, iv). 46 The potential of ionic liquids in SO 2 capture has been thoroughly investigated. For example, using tetraethylammonium tetrazolate and ethylene glycol at a molar ratio of 1 : 2, effective SO 2 capture at low SO 2 concentrations was documented (Scheme 1, v).…”
In here we present the deoxygenation of the chalcogen oxides EO2 (E = S, Se) with R–P(PMe3), so-called phospha-Wittig reagents. The reaction of DABSO (DABCO⋅2SO2) with R–P(PMe3) (R = Mes*,...
Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene [iPrNC(NiPr )NiPr] Si (1) with FeBr , CoBr , NiBr ⋅MeOCH CH OMe, ZnCl , and ZnBr afforded the respective transition-metal silylene complexes 4-8, the formation of which can be described in terms of a Lewis acid/base reaction (4, 5, 7, 8) or a nucleophilic substitution reaction (6). However, the reactivity profile of silylene 1 is not only based on its strong Lewis base character; the different coordination modes of the two guanidinato ligands (4-6 vs. 7 and 8) add an additional reactivity facet. The paramagnetic compounds 4 and 5 and the diamagnetic compounds 6⋅THF, 7, and 8⋅0.5 Et O were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, compound 6⋅THF was studied by N and Si solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and 7 and 8 were characterized by NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state ( N, Si) and in solution ( H, C, Si). Compounds 4-8 represent very rare examples of Fe , Co , Ni , and Zn silylene complexes. Four-coordinate silicon(II) compounds with an SiN M skeleton (M=Fe, Co, Ni) and M in the formal oxidation state +2 (4-6) have not yet been reported, and five-coordinate silicon(II) compounds with an SiN Zn skeleton (7, 8) are also unprecedented.
