Abstract:In all likelihood the first synthesis of the phosphaethynolate anion, PCO , was performed in 1894 when NaPH was reacted with CO in an attempt to make Na(CP) accompanied by elimination of water. This reaction was repeated 117 years later when it was discovered that Na(OCP) and H are the products of this remarkable transformation. Li(OCP) was synthesized and fully characterized in 1992 but this salt proved to be too unstable to allow for a detailed investigation of its chemistry. It was not until the heavier ana… Show more

The isolation of rhenium(V) complexes with terminal phosphide and arsenide ligands was achieved upon decarbonylation of rhenium(III) pnictaethynolates.O ne-electron oxidation of the pnictide complexes yielded PnÀPn (Pn = P, As) coupling products,w hichw ere spectroscopically and crystallographically characterized.C omputational bond analysis suggests that these complexes are best described as {Pn 2 } 0 complexes that are stabilized by donor-acceptor interactions with the metal and ap yrazole ligand.Dinitrogen exhibits one of the strongest bonds known in chemistry (bond dissociation energy,B DE = 225.1 kcal mol À1 ).

Decarbonylation of a cyclic bis‐phosphaethynolatostannylene [(ADC)Sn(PCO)]2 based on an anionic dicarbene framework (ADC = PhC{N(Dipp)C}2; Dipp = 2,6‐iPr2C6H3) under UV light results in the formation of a Sn2P2 cluster compound [(ADC)SnP]2 as a green crystalline solid. The electronic structure of [(ADC)SnP]2 is analyzed by quantum‐chemical calculations. At room temperature, [(ADC)SnP]2 reversibly binds with CO2 and forms [(ADC)2{SnOC(O)P}SnP]. [(ADC)SnP]2 enables catalytic hydroboration of CO2 and reacts with elemental selenium and Fe2(CO)9 to afford [(ADC)2{Sn(Se)P2}SnSe] and [(ADC)Sn{Fe(CO)4}P]2, respectively. All compounds are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and their solid‐state molecular structures are determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.
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.
