RESUMO
We report a class of compounds in which both PIII -X and PI forms featuring the same ligand are stable and readily cycled with each other. A series of PIII -X (X=Cl, Br, I) dicationic triflate salts supported by benzyl- and allyl-substituted 2,6-bis(benzimidazole-2-yl)pyridine (BZIMPY) ligands is synthesized. Surprisingly, treatment of these with R3 PO (R=Et, Oct) results in reduction to BZIMPY-ligated PI monocationic triflate salts while treatment with Ph3 P reduces but also substitutes the compound to produce Ph3 P-BZIMPY-ligated PI dicationic triflate salts. The mechanisms of these surprising reductions are probed experimentally and rationalized computationally. The PIII -X dications are shown to be strong Lewis acids both experimentally and computationally and to readily behave as X+ , PX, and P+ transfer agents in reactions with phosphines, NHCs, and diazabutadienes. The PI mono- and dications are shown to be very effective P+ transfer agents when treated similarly. Oxidation from a monocationic PI salt back to the dicationic PIII -X (X=Cl, Br) salt was achieved by treatment with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). Full characterization is reported using multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffractometry where suitable crystals were isolated.
RESUMO
Catenation is common for the light main-group elements whereas it is rare for the heavy elements. Herein, we report the first example of a neutral molecule containing a Bi4 chain. It is prepared in a one-step reaction between bismuth trichloride and bis(diisopropylphosphino)amine in methanol suspension. The same reaction carried out in dichloromethane gives quite different products. All products have been characterized spectroscopically and using single-crystal X-ray analysis.
RESUMO
The reductive dehalogenation of a zwitterionic GeII species to make a zwitterionic GeI dimer with a 1,2-dicationic core is reported herein. To the root of the stability of this compound, the molecular and electronic structures were comprehensively characterized and investigated using crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational methods. It was determined that the Ge centers are attracted because they are both electron-rich and positively charged. A comparison to the electronic structure in triphosphenium cations revealed varying degrees of covalent bonding and that this difference can be distinguished spectroscopically.
RESUMO
Treatment of two equivalents of the triphosphenium zwitterion L with sources of Ni0 and Pd0 form the mononuclear η2 -diphosphoniodiphosphene complexes 1 and 2. The reaction between L and [FeCp(CO)2 ]2 results in the binuclear µ-η1 :η1 -diphosphoniodiphosphene iron complex 3, which features an alternative bonding motif of the diphosphoniodiphosphene unit. The formation of these species has been confirmed by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and their electronic structures have been elucidated using computational methods.
RESUMO
Herein we present the oxidation of base-stabilized tetrelII dications [LM][OTf]2 [L = BIMEt3 = tris(1-ethyl-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine and M = Ge, Sn] with PCl5, SeCl4, Br2, and I2 to access dicationic dihalides [LMX2][OTf]2. The addition of oxygen-rich donor molecules (picoline N-oxide, OPEt3) to dications [LM][OTf]2 yielded donor-acceptor complexes bearing a tetrel(II) dication adjacent to a pnictogen(V) moiety. The addition of elemental sulfur to [LGe][OTf]2 yielded [(LGeS)2][OTf]4 containing a dimeric tetracation.
RESUMO
The isolation and full characterisation of a series of cationic metal-carbonyl complexes bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene stabilised phosphorus(I) ligand are reported. Specifically, the mononuclear coordination complexes [LM(CO)5 ][BPh4 ] (M=Cr, Mo, W), [LFe(CO)4 ][BPh4 ] and the dinuclear complexes [LMn2 (CO)8 ][BPh4 ] and [LCo2 (CO)6 ][BPh4 ], in which L=[bis(1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene)phosphanide]+ , have all been isolated in the solid state and structurally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The dicationic platinum complex trans-[L2 PtCl2 ][BPh4 ]2 is also reported and fully characterised. The donor ability of [L]+ has been assessed by IR spectroscopy of its metal-carbonyl complexes and by using DFT calculations. The results suggest that [L]+ is a weak π-acceptor with moderate donor strength and thus it bridges the gap that exists between phosphines and amines in terms of ligand properties. Collectively, these molecules represent the first crystallographically characterised cationic metal-carbonyl derivatives of a PI -centred ligand and are a rare collection of cationic metal-carbonyl complexes.
RESUMO
A convenient synthesis of dicyanophosphide and dicyanoarsenide anions is reported. These heavy homologues of the long-known and fundamentally important dicyanamide anion were formed through the nucleophilic displacement of bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) from the pnictogen+ transfer agents [dppePn][BPh4 ] (Pn=P, As) by exposure to cyanide salts. The protocol requires three synthetic steps from commercially available materials and the [dppePn][BPh4 ] salts are remarkably temperature, air, and moisture stable. All products have been fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the electronic structures of the DCPn anions have been assessed computationally.
RESUMO
The phosphorus-sulfur heterocycles 1,2-thiaphosphetenes and phosphirene sulfides have been prepared, and represent the first structurally characterized derivatives for either class of compound. These strained P-S ring systems are formed by the reaction of a phosphinidene sulfide and alkyne. Using an internal alkyne, only the 3-membered PV , phosphirene sulfide was produced, whereas a terminal alkyne yielded a mixture of phosphirene sulfide and 1,2-thiaphosphetene (PIII ). Detailed computational analysis revealed that for numerous derivatives of alkynes, the corresponding 4-membered rings are always more stable than the 3-membered isomers. The electronic nature of "free" phosphinidene sulfides (R-P=S) is discussed based on computational results.
RESUMO
Reported are general synthetic approaches for the syntheses of asymmetrically substituted phosphorus(I) cations by P+ transfer from [dppeP]+ (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane). The first method grants access to acyclic derivatives and is accomplished by the sequential substitution of dppe using first a sterically encumbered ligand which cannot form a stable homoleptic complex, followed by a second equivalent of a less sterically demanding ligand. The second method grants access to cyclic derivatives and utilizes asymmetric hybrid phosphine/N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Interplay between the different ligand types and their stoichiometries relative to those of [dppeP]+ also allows for the isolation of symmetrical derivatives with pendant phosphines.
RESUMO
The manipulation of white phosphorus (P4) has been a long-standing challenge for chemists. While the holy grail remains at finding a method to catalytically activate and functionalize P4 to yield new organophosphorus compounds, fundamental research lies in developing procedures to control the reactivity of elemental phosphorus. In this work, Lewis acidic transition metal moieties M(CO)5 (M = Cr, Mo, W) and AuCl react with P4 derivatized with a low valent germanium compound. For both M(CO)5 and AuCl, bis-functionalized products can be formed; however the monosubstituted derivatives are found to be more stable, and the decomposition can be monitored by 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. The selective reactivity of white phosphorus, once a P-P bond has been activated, is a key step in yielding new organophosphorus compounds.
RESUMO
Notable aspects of the chemistry of complexes of polyether ligands including crown ethers, cryptands, glycols, glymes, and related polyether ligands with heavier group 13 and 14 elements are reviewed with a focus on results from 2005 to the present. The majority of reported polyether complexes contain lead(ii) and thallium(i) but recent breakthroughs in regard to the preparation of low oxidation state reagents of the lighter congeners have allowed for the generation of complexes containing indium(i), gallium(i), germanium(ii), and even silicon(ii). The important roles of ligand size, donor types, and counter anions in regard to the chemical properties of the polyether complexes is highlighted. A particular focus on the structural aspects of the numerous coordination complexes provides a rationale for some of the spectacular contributions that such compounds have made to Modern Main Group Chemistry.
RESUMO
A safe, convenient, and P-atom-efficient synthesis of N-heterocyclic-carbene- (NHC-) stabilized phosphorus(I) bromide salts is reported that involves P(+) transfer from an easily prepared triphosphenium precursor. The resulting family of phosphamethine cyanine dyes featuring N,N'-dialkyl-substituted 4,5-dimethylimidazole-2-ylidenes ((R)NHC(Me)) and benzimidazole-2-ylidenes ((R)NHC(B)) (R = Me, Et, iPr) have been fully characterized. We found that increasing N-alkyl group size causes increased twisting of the carbene fragments from the C-P-C plane, which decreases the magnitude of hyperconjugation between the π-type lone pair on phosphorus and the carbene fragments. This decrease is manifested as changes in the (31)P NMR chemical shifts, magnitudes of the P-C coupling constants, and electronic spectra of the cations. The reactivities of these ions toward various oxidants are reported: Oxidation by sulfur generates dithiophosphinium salts, protonation or methylation gives dicationic phosphines, and coordination to 1 or 2 equiv of gold(I) chloride results in mono or bimetallic complexes, respectively.
RESUMO
Two unique systems based on low-coordinate main group elements that activate P4 are shown to quantitatively release the phosphorus cage upon short exposure to UV light. This reactivity marks the first reversible reactivity of P4, and the germanium system can be cycled 5â times without appreciable loss in activity. Theoretical calculations reveal that the LUMO is antibonding with respect to the main group element-phosphorus bonds and bonding with respect to reforming the P4 tetrahedron, providing a rationale for this unprecedented activity, and suggesting that the process is tunable based on the substituents.
RESUMO
A convenient preparative approach to low-valent phosphorus-rich oligomers is presented. Ligand substitution reactions involving anionic diphosphine ligands of the form [(PR2)2N](-) and [(PPh2)2C5H3](-) and a triphosphenium bromide P(I) precursor result in the formation of phosphorus(I)-containing heterocycles, several of which are of types that have never been prepared before. The methodology described also allows for the preparation of the known heterocycle cyclo-[P(PPh2)N(PPh2)]2 in better yields and purity than the synthetic approach reported previously. Preliminary reactivity studies demonstrate the viability of such zwitterionic oligomers as multidentate ligands for transition metals.
RESUMO
In the tetra-hydro-furan solvate of the title salt, C12H36N6P3 (+)·C24H20B(-)·C4H8O, the cation features short P-P bond lengths [2.1111â (11) and 2.1364â (10)â Å] and a distinctly bent P-P-P angle [104.67â (4)°] that confirm that the mol-ecule is not allene-like. In the crystal, the solvent mol-ecule is linked to the cation via a weak C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bond.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of the existing literature with the aim of evaluating and consolidating the present understanding of strategies for mitigating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts related to cochlear implants in adult and pediatric patients, covering both in-vivo and ex-vivo investigations. DATA SOURCES: A systematic review of MEDLINE-Ovid, Embase, Google Scholar, The Cochrane Library, and Scopus was performed from inception through April 2022. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO before commencement of data collection (CRD CRD42022319651). REVIEW METHODS: The data were screened and collected by two authors independently, and eligibility was assessed according to Cochrane Handbook and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis recommendations, whereas the quality of the articles was evaluated using the NIH Study Quality Assessment. RESULTS: The search yielded 2,354 potentially relevant articles, of which 27 studies were included in the final review. Twelve studies looked at 1.5-T MRI, four studies looked at 3-T MRI, eight studies looked at both 1.5 and 3 T, one study looked at 0.2 and 1.5 T, and one study looked at 3- and 7.0-T MRI. Nineteen studies focused on MRI sequences as a means of artifact reduction, nine studies focused on implant magnet positioning, two studies focused on head positioning, and one study focused on both magnet and head positioning. In terms of MRI sequences, diffusion-weighted imaging produced larger artifacts compared with other sequences, whereas fast spin echo/turbo spin echo sequences and fat suppression techniques produced smaller artifacts. The position of the magnet was also found to be important, with a magnet position more than 6.5 cm posterior to the external auditory canal producing the best images with the least distortion. The angle at which the magnet is placed also affects visibility of different brain structures. CONCLUSION: Proper head positioning, magnet placement at a distance of over 6.5 cm from the external auditory canal, use of spin echo sequences, and fat suppression techniques reduce the size and shape of MRI artifacts.

We report the formation and characterization of new self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from dihexadecyldithiophosphate (C16)2DDP and compare their properties with those of SAMs formed from the structurally similar adsorbate dihexadecyldithiophosphinic acid (C16)2DTPA. The new (C16)2DDP SAMs were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The data indicate that (C16)2DDP forms SAMs on gold films formed by e-beam evaporation in which all adsorbates chelate to gold, in contrast to (C16)2DTPA SAMs, in which 40% of the adsorbates are monodentate. The alkyl chains of the (C16)2DDP SAM are also less densely packed and ordered than those of the (C16)2DTPA SAM. To understand these differences, we present density functional theory calculations that show that there are only minimal differences between the geometric and electronic structures of the two adsorbates and that the energetic difference between monodentate and bidentate binding of a gold(I) ion are surprisingly small for both adsorbates. This study leads to the conclusion that differences in intermolecular interactions within the SAM are the driving force for the difference in chelation between the two adsorbates.
RESUMO
Attempts to coordinate neutral ligands to low oxidation state indium centers are often hindered by disproportionation pathways that produce elemental indium and higher oxidation state species. In contrast, we find that reactions of the salt, InOTf (OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate), with α-diimine ligands yielded intensely colored compounds with no evidence of decomposition. X-ray structural analysis of InOTfâ (Mes) DAB(Me) ((Mes) DAB(Me) =N,N-dimesityl-2,3-dimethyl-diazabutadiene; 1) reveals a discrete molecular compound with a pyramidal coordination environment at the indium center, consistent with the presence of a stereochemically active lone pair of electrons on indium and a neutral diazabutadiene chelate ligand. The use of the less-electron-rich (Mes) DAB(H) ligand ((Mes) DAB(H) =N,N-dimesityl-diazabutadiene) engenders dramatically different reactivity and produces a metallopolymer (InOTfâ (Mes) DAB(H) )∞ (2) linked via CC and InIn bonds. The difference in reactivity is rationalized by cyclic voltammetry and DFT studies that suggest more facile electron transfer from In(I) to the (Mes) DAB(H) and bis(aryl)acenaphthenequinonediimine (BIAN) ligands. Solution EPR spectroscopy indicates the presence of non-interacting ligand-based radicals in solution, whereas solid-state EPR studies reflect the presence of a thermally accessible spin triplet consistent with reversible CC bond cleavage.
RESUMO
A collection of zwitterionic phosphanide metal carbonyl coordination complexes has been synthesized and fully characterized, representing the first isolated series of metal complexes for the triphosphenium family of compounds. The dicoordinate phosphorus atom of the zwitterion is formally in the +1 oxidation state and can coordinate to one metal, 2M (M = Cr, Mo, W) and 2Fe, or two metals, a Co2(CO)6 fragment 4, depending on the starting reagents. All complexes have been isolated in greater than 80% yield, and structures were confirmed crystallographically. Metrical parameters are consistent with 1 being a weak donor and results in long metal-phosphorus bonds being observed in all cases. Unique bimetallic structures, 3M (M = Cr, Mo, W), consisting of a M(CO)5 fragment on phosphorus and a piano-stool M(CO)3 fragment on a boron phenyl group have been identified in the (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectra and confirmed using X-ray diffraction studies. Use of the borate backbone in 1, which renders the molecule zwitterionic, proves to be a determining factor in whether these metal complexes will form; the halide salt of a cationic triphosphenium ion, 6[Br], shows no evidence for formation of the analogous metal complexes by (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectroscopy, and tetraphenylborate salts, 6[BPh4] and 7[BPh4], produce complexes that are unstable.
RESUMO
While cyanine dyes enjoy a multitude of uses in science and technology, their phosphorus analogues, phosphamethine cyanine dyes, have not yet found benchtop applications primarily because of their sensitivity to air and moisture. We are excited to report full characterization of an extraordinarily stable acyclic phosphamethine cyanine dye. Nitrile substituents on the N-heterocyclic framework afford air and water stability as well as resistance to methylation and sulfuration even under forcing conditions. Cyclic voltammetry confirms a high oxidation potential of the compound and computational investigations reveal stabilized orbitals. The unusual orbital stability appears to render the normally electron-rich PI site an extremely poor nucleophile and difficult to oxidize. From a practical perspective, this dye is prepared in a one-pot method under mild conditions.
