RESUMO
Diaryldihalodiboranes(4) were reacted with bis(amidinato)- and bis(guanidinato)silylenes to generate the first neutral diborane-centered radicals. These formally non-aromatic 5π electron systems are stable in the solid state as well as in solution and were characterized by solid-state structure determination, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and EPR spectroscopy. The reactivity of one of these radicals with the oxidant 1,4-benzoquinone led to ring-opening and B-O bond formation.
RESUMO
Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene [iPrNC(NiPr2 )NiPr]2 Si (1) with FeBr2 , CoBr2 , NiBr2 â MeOCH2 CH2 OMe, ZnCl2 , and ZnBr2 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 6â THF, 7, and 8â 0.5 Et2 O were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, compound 6â THF was studied by 15 N and 29 Si solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and 7 and 8 were characterized by NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state (15 N, 29 Si) and in solution (1 H, 13 C, 29 Si). Compounds 4-8 represent very rare examples of FeII , CoII , NiII , and ZnII silylene complexes. Four-coordinate silicon(II) compounds with an SiN3 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 SiN4 Zn skeleton (7, 8) are also unprecedented.
RESUMO
The donor-stabilized silylene [iPrNC(NiPr2 )NiPr]2 Si (2) reacts with PhEl-ElPh (El=S, Se) to form the respective cationic five-coordinate bis(guanidinato)silicon(IV) complexes {[iPrNC(NiPr2 )NiPr]2 SiSPh}(+) PhS(-) (4) and {[iPrNC (NiPr2 )NiPr]2 SiSePh}(+) PhSe(-) (5). Compounds 4 and 5 were characterized by crystal structure analyses and NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state.
RESUMO
Activation of CO2 by the bis(amidinato)silylene 1 and the analogous bis(guanidinato)silylene 2 leads to the structurally analogous six-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes 4 (previous work) and 8, respectively, the first silicon compounds with a chelating carbonato ligand. Likewise, CS2 activation by silylene 1 affords the analogous six-coordinate silicon(IV) complex 10, the first silicon compound with a chelating trithiocarbonato ligand. CS2 activation by silylene 2, however, yields the five-coordinate silicon(IV) complex 13 with a carbon-bound CS2 (2-) ligand, which also represents an unprecedented coordination mode in silicon coordination chemistry. Treatment of the dinuclear silicon(IV) complexes 5 and 6 with CO2 also affords the six-coordinate carbonatosilicon(IV) complexes 4 and 8, respectively.
RESUMO
To get information about the reactivity profile of the donor-stabilized guanidinatosilicon(II) complexes 2 and 3, a series of oxidative addition reactions was studied. Treatment of 2 and 3 with S8, Se, or Te afforded the respective four-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes 8-10 and 12-14, which contain an SiN3 El skeleton (El = S, Se, Te) with an Si=El double bond. Treatment of 2 with N2O yielded the dinuclear four-coordinate silicon(IV) complex 11 with an SiN3O skeleton and a central four-membered Si2O2 ring. Compounds 8-14 exist both in the solid state and in solution. They were characterized by elemental analyses, NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution, and crystal structure analyses. The reactivity profile of 2 was compared with that of the structurally related bis[N,N'-diisopropylbenzamidinato(-)]silicon(II) (1), which is three-coordinate in the solid state and four-coordinate in solution (1'). In contrast, as shown by state-of-the-art relativistic DFT analyses and experimental studies, silylene 2 is three-coordinate both in the solid state and solution. The three-coordinate species 2 is 9.3â kcal mol(-1) more stable in benzene than the four-coordinate isomer 2'. The reason for this was studied by bonding analyses of 2 and 2', which were compared with those of 1 and 1'. The gas-phase proton affinities of the relevant species in solution (1' and 2) amount to 288.8 and 273.8â kcal mol(-1), respectively.
RESUMO
4-Silacyclohexan-1-ones 1a-1c, 4-silacyclohexan-1-one oximes 2a-2c, 1,4-azasilepan-7-ones 3a-3c, 1,4-azasilepanes 4a-4c, and 2-bromo-4-silacyclohexan-1-ones 5a and 5b were prepared in multistep syntheses, starting from trimethoxypropylsilane. All of these compounds represent C-functional (R2CâO, R2CâN-OH, R-NH(CâO)-R, R2NH, or R3C-Br) silicon-containing heterocycles that contain Si-MOP, Si-DMOP, or Si-TMOP moieties (MOP = 4-methoxyphenyl; DMOP = 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl; TMOP = 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl), which can be cleaved under mild conditions by protodesilylation. As a proof of principle, compounds 3a-3c were transformed quantitatively and selectively into the chlorosilane 6 (treatment with hydrogen chloride in dichloromethane). Thus, the C- and Si-functional compounds 1a-1c, 2a-2c, 3a-3c, 4a-4c, 5a, and 5b represent versatile building blocks for synthesis.

The subjects of this study are the structures and electron densities of the carbon/silicon analogues haloperidol/sila-haloperidol (1a/1b) and venlafaxine/sila-venlafaxine (2a/2b). The parent carbon compounds 1a (an antipsychotic agent) and 2a (an antidepressant) are both in clinical use. For haloperidol/sila-haloperidol, three published structures were studied in more detail: the structures of haloperidol hydrochloride (1a·HCl), haloperidol hydropicrate (1a·HPic) and sila-haloperidol hydrochloride (1b·HCl). For venlafaxine/sila-venlafaxine, the published structures of venlafaxine (2a), venlafaxine hydrochloride (2a·HCl; as orthorhombic (2a·HCl-ortho) and monoclinic polymorph (2a·HCl-mono)) and sila-venlafaxine hydrochloride (2b·HCl) were investigated. Based on these structures, the molecular electron densities were reconstructed by using the invariom formalism. They were further analysed in terms of Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules, electrostatic potentials mapped onto electron density isosurfaces and Hirshfeld surfaces. These studies were performed with a special emphasis on the comparison of the corresponding carbon/silicon analogues.

The donor-stabilized silylene 2 (the first bis(guanidinato)silicon(II) complex) reacts with the transition-metal carbonyl complexes [M(CO)6 ] (M=Cr, Mo, W) to form the respective silylene complexes 7-10. In the reactions with [M(CO)6 ] (M=Cr, Mo, W), the bis(guanidinato)silicon(II) complex 2 behaves totally different compared with the analogous bis(amidinato)silicon(II) complex 1, which reacts with [M(CO)6 ] as a nucleophile to replace only one of the six carbonyl groups. In contrast, the reaction of 2 leads to the novel spirocyclic compounds 7-9 that contain a four-membered SiN2 C ring and a five-membered MSiN2 C ring with a MSi and MN bond (nucleophilic substitution of two carbonyl groups). Compounds 7-10 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), crystal structure analyses, and NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution.
RESUMO
Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene 1 (which is three-coordinate in the solid state and four-coordinate in solution) with [HMCp(CO)3 ] (M=Mo, W; Cp=cyclopentadienyl) leads to the cationic five-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes 2 and 3, respectively, and reaction of 1 with CH3 COOH yields the neutral six-coordinate silicon(IV) complex 4. Compounds 2-4 were structurally characterized by crystal structure analyses and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution. The formation of 2-4 can be formally described in terms of a Brønsted acid/base reaction, coupled with a redox process (Si(II) âSi(IV) , H(+) âH(-) ).
RESUMO
A convenient and robust synthesis of bis[N,N'-diisopropylbenzamidinato(-)]silicon(II) (1), a donor-stabilized silylene, has been developed (35â g scale). To get further information about the reactivity profile of 1, a series of oxidative addition reactions were studied. Treatment of 1 with PhSe-SePh (Se-Se bond activation), C6F6 (C-F activation), and CO2 (C=O activation/cycloaddition) yielded the neutral six-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes 10, 11, and 13, respectively. Treatment of 1 with N2O resulted in the formation of the dinuclear five-coordinate silicon(IV) complex 12 (oxidative addition/dimerization), which contains a four-membered Si2O2 ring. Compounds 10-13 were characterized by NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution and by crystal structure analyses. Silylene 1 is three-coordinate in the solid state (from crystal structure analysis) and exists as the four-coordinate isomer 1' in benzene solution (from computational studies). Based on state-of-the-art relativistic DFT analyses, the four-coordinate species 1' was demonstrated to be the thermodynamically favored isomer in benzene solution (favored by ΔG = 6.6â kcal mol(-1) over the three-coordinate species 1). The reason for this was studied by bonding analyses of 1 and 1'. Furthermore, the (29)Siâ NMR chemical shifts of 1 and 1' were computed, and in the case of 1' it was analyzed how this NMR spectroscopic parameter is affected by solvation. These studies further supported the assumption that the silylene is four-coordinate in solution.
RESUMO
The neutral six-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes 2 and 3 (mixture of cis-3 and trans-3) were synthesized by reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene bis[N,N'-diisopropylbenzamidinato(-)]silicon(II) (1) with SO2 . Compounds 2 and 3 are the first silicon(IV) complexes with chelating sulfito or dithionito ligands, and 3 is even the first molecular compound with a chelating dithionito ligand. Compounds 2 and 3 were structurally characterized by crystal structure analyses and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution.
RESUMO
Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene 1 (which is three-coordinate in the solid state and four-coordinate in solution) with BEt3 and BPh3 leads to the formation of the Lewis acid/base complexes 2 and 3, respectively, which are the first five-coordinate silicon compounds with an SiB bond. These compounds were structurally characterized by crystal structure analyses and by multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution. Additionally, the bonding situation in 2 and 3 was analyzed by quantum chemical studies.
RESUMO
5-Methyl-4-methylidene-6-(trimethylsilyl)hexanal (1b), a sila analog of the acyclic lily-of-the-valley odorant 5,7,7-trimethyl-4-methylideneoctanal (1a), and the Si-containing derivatives 2-6 were prepared in multistep syntheses, starting from Cl3 SiH and Cl2 SiMe2 , respectively. Compounds 1b, 2-6, and their new precursors were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N) and NMR spectroscopic studies ((1) H, (13) C, (15) N, and (29) Si). To gain more information about the structureodor correlation in the family of lily-of-the-valley or 'muguet' odorants, C/Si analogs 1a/1b and derivatives 2-6 were evaluated for their olfactory properties.

A series of silicon-containing derivatives of the polycyclic musk odorant galaxolide (4 a) was synthesized, that is, disila-galaxolide ((4RS,7SR)-4 b/(4RS,7RS)-4 b), its methylene derivative rac-9, and its nor analogue rac-10. The tricyclic title compounds with their 7,8-dihydro-6,8-disila-6 H-cyclopenta[g]isochromane skeleton were prepared in multistep syntheses by using a cobalt-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of the mono- yne H2C=CHCH2 OCH2 C≡CB(pin) (B(pin)=4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-di- oxaborolan-2-yl) with the diynes H2C=C[Si(CH3 )2 C≡CH]2 or H2C- [Si(CH3)2 C≡CH]2 as the key step. Employing [Cr(CO)3 (MeCN)3 ] as an auxiliary, the disila-galaxolide diastereomers (4RS,7SR)-4 b and (4RS,7RS)-4 b could be chromatographically separated through their tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes, followed by oxidative decomplexation. The identity of the title compounds and their precursors was established by elemental analyses and multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies and in some cases additionally by crystal structure analyses. Compounds (4RS,7SR)-4 b, (4RS,7RS)-4 b, rac-9, and rac-10 were characterized for their olfactory properties, including GC-olfactory studies of the racemic compounds on a chiral stationary phase. As for the parent galaxolide stereoisomers 4 a, only one enantiomer of the silicon compounds (4RS,7SR)-4 b, (4RS,7RS)-4 b, rac-9, and rac-10, smelt upon enantioselective GC-olfactometry, which according to the elution sequence is assumed to be also (4S)-configured as in the case of the galaxolide stereoisomers. The disila-analogues (4S,7R)-4 b and (4S,7S)-4 b were, however, about one order of magnitude less intense in terms of their odor threshold than their parent carbon compounds (4S,7R)-4 a and (4S,7S)-4 a. The introduction of a 7-methylene group in disila-galaxolide (4 bârac-9) improved the odor threshold by a factor of two. With the novel silicon-containing galaxolide derivatives, the presumed hydrophobic bulk binding pocket of the corresponding musk receptor(s) could be characterized in more detail, which could be useful for the design of novel musk odorants with an improved environmental profile.
RESUMO
A series of neutral six-coordinate silicon(IV) complexes (4-11) with two bidentate monoanionic N,S-pyridine-2-thiolato ligands and two monodentate ligands R(1) and R(2) was synthesized (4, R(1) = R(2) = Cl; 5, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = Cl; 6, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = F; 7, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = Br; 8, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = N3; 9, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = NCO; 10, R(1) = Ph, R(2) = NCS; 11, R(1) = Me, R(2) = Cl). In addition, the related ionic compound 12 was synthesized, which contains a cationic five-coordinate silicon(IV) complex with two bidentate monoanionic N,S-pyridine-2-thiolato ligands and one phenyl group (counterion: I(-)). Compounds 4-12 were characterized by elemental analyses, NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution, and crystal structure analyses (except 7). These structural investigations were performed with a special emphasis on the sophisticated stereochemistry of these compounds. These experimental investigations were complemented by computational studies, including bonding analyses based on relativistic density functional theory.
RESUMO
Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene 1 with [Cr(CO)6], [Mo(CO)6], [W(CO)6], or [Fe(CO)5] leads to the formation of the transition-metal silylene complexes 2-5, which contain five-coordinate silicon(II) moieties with Si-M bonds (M = Cr, Mo, W, Fe). These compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution and by crystal structure analyses. These experimental investigations were complemented by computational studies to gain insight into the bonding situation of 2-5. The nature of the Si-M bonds is best described as a single bond.
RESUMO
By the application of the invariom formalism, which provides aspherical atomic scattering factors, the electron densities of the RXR-selective retinoid agonists bexarotene (1a) and disila-bexarotene (1b) were derived from their known low resolution (d = 0.76 Å) crystal structures. The density distributions allowed us to make a comparison of the electronic properties of these pharmacologically relevant compounds. Differences were found to be restricted to relatively small regions in the terminal six-membered rings of the tetrahydronaphthalene and tetrahydrodisilanaphthalene fragments. In total, the replacement of two carbon atoms in 1a by silicon atoms (â1b) does neither influence the electronic structures nor the pharmacological properties (RXR receptor activation) significantly. It should be noted that the almost completely software supported invariom formalism can yield electronic information for biologically interacting systems with moderate effort. This offers interesting possibilities for drug research, in that steric and electronic information can be combined for the analysis of intermolecular recognition and interaction on an atomic scale. This approach is also valuable for the design and development of silicon-containing drugs using the carbon/silicon switch strategy.

Silylenes: Reaction of the donor-stabilized silylene 1 with elemental sulfur, selenium, or tellurium led to the formation of 2 a-c [SiN(4)X skeletons (X = S, Se, Te)], the first stable five-coordinate silicon(IV) compounds with silicon-chalcogen double bonds (see figure).
RESUMO
Two nutrients in one molecule: A zwitterionic λ(5)Si,λ(5)Si'-disilicate (1) was synthesized and characterized. It contains ligands that exclusively derive from natural products ((R,R)-tartaric acid, choline). Hydrolysis of 1 yields 2, which shows a remarkable kinetic stability in water. Upon dissolution of 1 and 2 in water, the nutrients choline and orthosilicic acid are formed by hydrolysis.
RESUMO
Silicon chemistry offers the potential to tune the effects of biologically active organic molecules. Subtle changes in the molecular backbone caused by the exchange of a carbon atom for a silicon atom (sila-substitution) can significantly alter the biological properties. In this study, the biological effects of a two-fold sila-substitution in the synthetic retinoids EC23 (4-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ylethynyl)benzoic acid (4a)) and TTNN (6-(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-2-naphthoic acid (7a)) as well as their corresponding analogues with an indane instead of a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene skeleton (compounds 5a and 8a) were investigated. Two-fold C/Si exchange in 4a, 5a, 7a and 8a leads to the silicon-analogues disila-EC23 (4b), 5b, disila-TTNN (7b) and 8b, which contain a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-disilanaphthalene (4b, 7b) or 1,3-disilaindane skeleton (5b, 8b). Exchange of the SiCH(2)Si moiety of 5b for an SiOSi fragment leads to the disiloxane 6 (2-oxa-1,3-disilaindane skeleton). The EC23 derivative 5a, the TTNN derivative 8a and the silicon-containing analogues 4b, 5b, 6, 7b and 8b were synthesised, and the biological properties of the C/Si pairs 4a/4b, 5a/5b, 7a/7b and 8a/8b and compound 6 were evaluated in vivo using RAR isotype-selective reporter cells. EC23 (4a) and its derivatives disila-EC23 (4b), 5a, 5b and 6 are very potent RAR agonists, which are even more potent than the powerful reference compound TTNPB. Disila-substitution of EC23 (4a) and 5a leads to a moderate decrease in RARα activation, whereas the RARß,γ activation is almost not affected. In contrast, two-fold C/Si exchange in the weak retinoid agonist TTNN (7a) and 8a resulted in considerably different effects: a significant increase (7aâ7b) and almost no change (8aâ8b) in transcription activation potential for all three RAR isotypes. Disila-TTNN (7b) can be regarded as a powerful RARß,γ-selective retinoid.
