Abstract
The first silylone-3d-metal complexes, LSiCu(NacNacM) (2) [L = 1,2-(RSi)2-1,2-C2B10H10, R = PhC(NtBu)2; NacNacM = HC(CMeNMes)2, Mes = 2,4,6-Me3-C6H2] and LSiNi(NacNacD) (3) [NacNacD = HC(CMeNDipp)2, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3], are reported, resulting from the reaction of the strongly σ-donating and chelating bis(silylenyl)-ortho-carborane silylone LSi0 with [(NacNacMCu)2benzene] and [(NacNacDNi)2toluene], respectively. Density Functional Theory (DFT) analyses reveal that complex 2 features a Si0→CuI dative bond, while 3 exhibits a Si0→NiI bond. Oxidation of the Si0-NiI species 3 with [Cp2Fe]+ occurs at the Ni site to form the [3]+ cation with a Si0→NiII coordination.

Abstract
Increasing the donor strength of Lewis bases is a viable strategy to stabilize reactive electron-deficient species. Herein, we utilize the strong electron-releasing power of ylide substituents to gain access to electron-rich silylenes. Based on the Roesky's amidinato chlorosilylene scaffold, we succeeded in isolating two amino(ylidyl)silylenes with a tosyl and cyano group in the ylide backbone, respectively. The tosyl system revealed to be amongst the most electron-rich silylenes known to date as measured by its Tolman electronic parameter. DFT studies showed that the ylide acts as a σ and π-donor, transferring electron-density into the empty p-orbital of the silicon center, thus resulting in its electron-richness and stability. The strong donor capacity of the silylene was used to stabilize further reactive silicon species: while treatment with carbon disulfide led to the formation of silylene-CS2 complexes, the reaction with N2O or CO2 was found to depend on the electronic and steric properties of the ylide substituent. Whereas the tosyl system yielded a room-temperature stable silanone, the cyano-substituted silylene formed a carbonate complex with CO2 and a dimeric silanone with N2O. Additionally, both silylenes facilitated the isolation of silicon compounds with extended π-conjugated units, highlighting the potential of ylide substituents to stabilize unusual bonding situations.

Abstract
The very different features of cooperative disilicon(II)-mediated N═N bond activation of trans- vs. cis-azobenzene are reported, employing two bis-silylenes with distinct intramolecular Si···Si distances, PhN(LSi:)₂ 1 (L = PhC(tBuN)₂, Si···Si: 2.9 Å) and XT(LSi:)₂ 2 (XT = 9,9-dimethyl-xanthene-4,5-diyl, Si···Si: 4.3 Å). While trans-azobenzene reacts with both bis-silylenes to form C─H and N═N π bond activation products, the cis-isomer undergoes only N═N bond scission. Thus, the reaction of 1 with cis-azobenzene at room temperature affords the unprecedented N═N bond cleavage product 4, featuring a bis-silaimine with terminal and bridging Si═N moieties. In contrast, the reaction of 2 with cis-azobenzene at -30 °C in THF allows for the isolation of the [1+2] cycloaddition intermediate 6, containing a three-membered SiN₂ ring (siladiazirane), which rearranges to the N═N bond cleavage product 8 at room temperature. Compound 6 reacts with one additional equivalent of cis-azobenzene to form bis-silaazirane 7 with two SiN₂ rings. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support stepwise Si(II)···Si(II) cooperative activation mechanisms and provide insights into the role of bis-silylenes for selective N═N cleavage reactions.

Abstract
The redox non-innocent bis-silylenyl ortho-carborane ligands [SiII(CCcage)SiII] (CCcage = o-C2B10H10, SiII = ArC(NtBu)2Si; Ar = C6H5, p- t BuC6H4), with their particular chelating and electronic properties, have been employed for the synthesis of new donor-stabilized SiII → AlIII complexes, potential precursors to low oxidation state aluminium complexes. Due to the redox non-innocence of the carborane backbone, [AlI2 +] complexes with three ligand oxidation states were characterized: with neutral and radical anionic closo- as well as dianionic nido-C2B10 cores. Reduction at the aluminium center could also be enacted with potassium/naphthalene leading to {K[SiII(CCcage)SiII]Al(C10H8)} derivatives from [1 + 4] cycloaddition reaction. The mechanism of this dearomatization reaction is proposed to occur via the formation of transient low oxidation state aluminium intermediates (radicals and/or aluminylenes) that are trapped by naphthalene.

Abstract
The silylene [(dpp-bian)Si:] (1), where dpp-bian is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene, exhibits remarkable reactivity with a variety of substrates. It reacts with chloroform and water via O-H and C-Cl bond activation to yield oxidative addition products 2 and 3, respectively. Reactions of 1 with dibenzylideneacetone and tolane involve exclusively the silicon atom and result in [4 + 1]- and [2 + 1]-cycloaddition products 4 and 6. Treatment with isoselenocyanate results in unprecedented cleavage of the CSe bond, leading to activation product 5. In contrast, treatment with acetylene and phenylacetylene leads to cooperative cycloaddition reactions, producing unique cycloadducts 7 and 8. These reactions represent a new type of cycloaddition to a tetravalent silicon atom, facilitated by a redox-active ligand. The new compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction studies. Their electronic structures and reaction pathways were investigated using DFT calculations.

Abstract
Herein, we report the isolation of pyridine moiety-functionalized SiNSi pincer-based bis-silylene ligand (1) and its reactivity toward various halide precursors (X = Br and I) of group 13 elements (M = Al, Ga, and In). This gave us straightforward access to the SiNSi pincer-coordinated group 13 cations (2-7). These complexes are duly characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H, 13C, and 29Si), and high-resolution mass spectrometry techniques. Their electronic properties were further analyzed with the help of quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
The suitability of electron-rich bis-silylenes, specifically the neutral chelating [SiII(Xant)SiII] ligand (SiII=PhC(NtBu)2Si, Xant=9,9-dimethylxanthene) and the anionic [SiII(NAcrid)SiII)]- pincer ligand (NAcrid=2,7,9,9-tetramethylacridane), has been successfully probed to stabilize monovalent bis-silylene-supported aluminium complexes (aluminylenes). At first, the unprecedented aluminium(III) iodide precursors [SiII(Xant)SiII]AlI2 + I- 1 and [SiII(NAcrid)SiII)]AlI2 2 were synthesized using AlI3 and [SiII(Xant)SiII] or [SiII(NAcrid)SiII)]Li(OEt2)], respectively, and structurally characterized. While reduction of 1 with KC8 led merely to unidentified products, the dehalogenation of 2 afforded the dimer of the desired {[SiII(NAcrid)SiII)]Al:} aluminylene with a four-membered SiIV 2AlIII 2 ring. Remarkably, the proposed aluminylene intermediates [SiII(Xant)SiII]AlII and {[SiII(NAcrid)SiII)]Al:} could be produced through reaction of 1 and 2 with Collman's reagent, K2Fe(CO)4, and trapped as AlI:→Fe(CO)4 complexes 5 and 6, respectively. While 6 is stable in solution, 5 loses one CO ligand in solution to afford the silylene- and aluminylene-coordinated iron(0) complex 7 from an intramolecular substitution reaction. The electronic structures of the novel compounds were investigated by Density Functional Theory calculations.

Abstract
Controlled oxidation of NHB-stabilized disilyne (NHB)Si ≡ Si(NHB) (1, NHB = [ArN(CMe)2NAr]B, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with one equivalent of trimethylamine N-oxide (Me3N+─O-) in dry n-hexane gave oxo-bridged bis-silepin 2 in high yields. DFT calculations disclosed that silepin 2 is only more stable by 13.4 kcal/mol than the corresponding oxo-bridged bis-silylene intermediate 2' (NHB)Si(μ-O)Si(NHB), and 2 was very likely to be formed by the insertion of the two divalent Si atoms into the pendant aryl rings in bis-silylene intermediate 2'. The two silicon atoms in bis-silepin 2 could undergo formal reductive-elimination of the aryl rings and sequential oxidative-insertion reactions with small molecules and organic substrates. Treatment of 2 with H2O, S8, and P4 at 60 °C yielded compounds 3-5 via reductive-elimination of the aryl rings, followed by the sequential oxidative-addition of these molecules at the two Si(II) centers. Similarly, reactions of 2 with PhSiH3, a diphenylalkyne, pyridines, 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazolin-2-ylidene (IMe4), Ph2CO, and thiophene yielded the corresponding polycyclic bis-silanes 6-12 via reductive-elimination and oxidative-addition of C-H, Si-H, C≡C, and aromatic C═C, C-S, and C═N bonds at the two Si atoms. These novel reactions indicated the pronounced bis-silylene reactivity of bis-silepin 2, consistent with the low-energy barrier for the interconversion between 2 and 2', as disclosed by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Since the late 19th century, heavier tetrylene- and tetrylyne-transition metal chemistry has formed an important cornerstone in both main-group and organometallic chemistry alike. Driven by the success of carbene systems, significant efforts have gone towards the thorough understanding of the heavier group 14 derivatives, with examples now known from across the d-block. This now leads towards applications in cooperative bond activation, and moves ultimately towards well-defined catalytic systems. This review aims to summarise this vast field, from initial discoveries of tetrylene and tetrylyne complexes, to the most recent developments in reactivity and catalysis, as a platform to the future of this exciting, blossoming field.

Abstract
Silylenes, divalent silicon(II) compounds, once considered highly reactive and transient species, are now widely employed as stable synthons in main-group and coordination chemistry for myriad applications. The synthesis of stable silylenes represents a major breakthrough, which led to extensive exploration of silylenes in stabilizing low-valent main-group elements and as versatile ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysis. In recent years, the exploration of transition metal complexes stabilized with silylene ligands has captivated significant research attention. This is due to their robust σ-donor characteristics and capacity to stabilize transition metals in low valent states. It has also been demonstrated that the transition metal complexes of silylenes are effective catalysts for hydroboration, hydrosilylation, hydrogenation, hydrogen isotope exchange reactions, and small molecule activation chemistry. This review article focuses on the recent progress in the synthesis and catalytic application of transition metal complexes of silylenes.

J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:23606-23615. [PMID: 39106297 PMCID: PMC11345810 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c08297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/09/2024]
Abstract
A family of chelating aryl-functionalized germylene ligands has been developed and employed in the synthesis of their corresponding 16-electron Ni0 complexes (PhiPDippGeAr·Ni·IPr; PhiPDipp = {[Ph2PCH2Si(iPr)2](Dipp)N}-; IPr = [{(H)CN(Dipp)}2C:]; Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3). These complexes demonstrate the ability to cooperatively and reversibly activate dihydrogen at the germylene-nickel interface under mild conditions (1.5 atm H2, 298 K). We show that the thermodynamics of the dihydrogen activation process can be modulated by tuning the electronic nature of the germylene ligands, with an increase in the electron-withdrawing character displaying more exergonic ΔG298 values, as ascertained through NMR spectroscopic Van't Hoff analyses for all systems. This is also shown to correlate with experimental 31P NMR and UV/vis absorption data as well as with computationally derived parameters such as Ge-Ni bond order and Ni/Ge NPA charge, giving a thorough understanding of the modulating effect of ligand design on this reversible, cooperative bond activation reaction. Finally, the utility of this modulation was demonstrated in the catalytic dehydrocoupling of phenylsilane, whereby systems that disfavor dihydrogen activation are more efficient catalysts, aligning with H2-elimination being the rate-limiting step. A density functional theory analysis supports cooperative activation of the Si-H moiety in PhSiH3.

Abstract
The unprecedented silylene-supported dibenzodiboraoxepin 2 and 9,10-diboraphenanthrene complexes 6 and 8 were synthesized. The (NHSi)2B2(xanthene) [NHSi = PhC(NtBu)2(Me2N)Si:] 2 results from debromination of the bis(NHSi)-stabilized bis(dibromoboryl)xanthene 1 with potassium graphite (KC8); 2 is capable of activating white phosphorus and ammonia to form the B2P4 cage compound 3 and H2N-B-B-H diborane species 4, respectively. The thermal rearrangement of 2 affords the 9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraphenanthrene 5 through a bis(NHSi)-assisted intramolecular reductive C-O-C deoxygenation process. Notably, the 9,10-diboraphenanthrene derivatives 6 and 8 could be generated by deoxygenation of 2 with KC8 and 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene, respectively. The aromaticity of 6 and 8 was confirmed by computational studies. Strikingly, the NHSi ligand in 8 engenders the monodeoxygenation of carbon dioxide in toluene at room temperature to form the CO-stabilized 9,10-diboraphenanthrene derivative 9 via the silaoxadiborinanone intermediate 10.

Abstract
A 1,1-bis(silylene)silole has been synthesised by a double salt-metathesis reaction from potassium silacyclopentadienediide, K2[1], and an amidinato-stabilized silylene chloride in a 1 : 2 ratio. The red colour of the title compound is due to the lp(Si)/π*(silole) transition. This band is bathochromically shifted compared to that of other 1,1-bissilylsiloles suggesting enhanced conjugation between the silole π-system and the newly formed Si(II)-Si(IV)-Si(II) group. The bissilylene is easily oxidised by the elemental chalcogens S, Se, and Te and forms a bissilaimide by reaction with an arylazide.

Abstract
A silyliumylidene ion 2 stabilized by two σ-donating Ni(0)- and Pd(0)-fragments was successfully synthesized. Due to the σ-donation of M→Si interactions, 2 presents a pyramidalized cationic silicon center with a localized lone pair. The additional coordination of basic Pd(0) fragment to the mono-Ni(0)-stabilized silyliumylidene 1 results in a higher HOMO level and an unchanged HOMO-LUMO gap and thus, 2 remains highly reactive. Interestingly, the coordination mode at the Si center is closely related to the nature of M-ligands. Indeed, the donor/donor-stabilized silyliumylidene ion 2 has been transformed into a donor/acceptor-stabilized ion 13, featuring a trigonal planar Si center with a vacant orbital, just via a ligand exchange reaction from PCy3/NHC toward PMe3.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the low-valent compounds of group-14 elements have received significant attention in several fields of chemistry owing to their unique electronic properties. The low-valent group-14 species include tetrylenes, tetryliumylidene, tetrylones, dimetallenes and dimetallynes. These low-valent group-14 species have shown applications in various areas such as organic transformations (hydroboration, cyanosilylation, N-functionalisation of amines, and hydroamination), small molecule activation (e.g. P4, As4, CO2, CO, H2, alkene, and alkyne) and materials. This review presents an in-depth discussion on low-valent group-14 species-catalyzed reactions, including polymerization of rac-lactide, L-lactide, DL-lactide, and caprolactone, followed by their photophysical properties (phosphorescence and fluorescence), thin film deposition (atomic layer deposition and vapor phase deposition), and medicinal applications. This review concisely summarizes current developments of low-valent heavier group-14 compounds, covering synthetic methodologies, structural aspects, and their applications in various fields of chemistry. Finally, their opportunities and challenges are examined and emphasized.

Abstract
This review article focuses on amidinatotetrylenes that potentially can (or have already shown to) behave as bi- or tridentate ligands because they contain at least one amidinatotetrylene moiety (silylene, germylene or stannylene) and one (or more) additional coordinable fragment(s). Currently, they are being widely used as ligands in coordination chemistry, small molecule activation and catalysis. This review classifies those that have been isolated as transition metal-free compounds into five families that differ in the position(s) of the donor group(s) (D) on the amidinatotetrylene moiety, namely: ED{R1NC(R2)NR1}, EX{DNC(R2)NR1}, EX{R1NC(D)NR1}, EX{DNC(R2)ND} and E{R1NC(R2)ND}2 (E=Si, Ge or Sn). Those that do not exist as transition metal-free compounds but have been observed as ligands in transition metal complexes are cyclometallated and ring-opened amidinatotetrylene ligands. This article presents schematic descriptions of their structures, the approaches used for their syntheses and a quick overview of their involvement (as ligands) in transition metal-catalysed reactions. The literature is covered up to the end of 2023.

Abstract
The synthesis of a new bis-NHP complex (NHP=N-heterocyclic phosphenium) of chromium via salt metathesis and studies of its reactivity are reported. Photochemical reactions with H2 and selected olefins give rise to non-isolable H2- and π-alkene complexes identified spectroscopically, while internal alkynes react via activation of the triple bond to yield isolable metalla-phospha-cyclobutenes characterized by spectroscopic and XRD data. DFT studies give a preliminary account of the bonding in H2- and alkene-complexes and explain the different reactivity towards alkenes and alkynes as the consequence of kinetic effects. Photolysis of the bis-NHP-complex in the presence of H2 and olefins or alkenes enables the catalytic hydrogenation of the organic substrates, while the π-ethene complex mediates the catalytic hydrogenation of ethene in a dark reaction. The similarities and differences between both catalytic processes are shortly discussed.

Abstract
Tetranuclear cores (M-E)2 of transition metals (M) and tetrylenes (EII=Si, Ge, Sn) are key motifs in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. They exhibit a continuum of M-M and E-E bonding within the inorganic core that leads to a variety of structures for which there are no specific synthetic methods. Herein, we report a series of highly reduced [Ni0GeII]2 squares solely stabilized by bulky terphenyl (C6H3-2,6-Ar2) ligands, for which we provide complementary and high-yielding syntheses. Reactivity studies with common Lewis bases (carbene and CO) evince that the structure of the (M-E)2 core can be transformed. We have investigated this core modification by computational means, offering a rationale to better understand the continuum of bonding across these clusters.

Stabilizing Monoatomic Two-Coordinate Bismuth(I) and Bismuth(II) Using a Redox Noninnocent Bis(germylene) Ligand. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:6025-6036.

Abstract
The formation of isolable monatomic BiI complexes and BiII radical species is challenging due to the pronounced reducing nature of metallic bismuth. Here, we report a convenient strategy to tame BiI and BiII atoms by taking advantage of the redox noninnocent character of a new chelating bis(germylene) ligand. The remarkably stable novel BiI cation complex 4, supported by the new bis(iminophosphonamido-germylene)xanthene ligand [(P)GeII(Xant)GeII(P)] 1, [(P)GeII(Xant)GeII(P) = Ph2P(NtBu)2GeII(Xant)GeII(NtBu)2PPh2, Xant = 9,9-dimethyl-xanthene-4,5-diyl], was synthesized by a two-electron reduction of the cationic BiIIII2 precursor complex 3 with cobaltocene (Cp2Co) in a molar ratio of 1:2. Notably, owing to the redox noninnocent character of the germylene moieties, the positive charge of BiI cation 4 migrates to one of the Ge atoms in the bis(germylene) ligand, giving rise to a germylium(germylene) BiI complex as suggested by DFT calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Likewise, migration of the positive charge of the BiIIII2 cation of 3 results in a bis(germylium)BiIIII2 complex. The delocalization of the positive charge in the ligand engenders a much higher stability of the BiI cation 4 in comparison to an isoelectronic two-coordinate Pb0 analogue (plumbylone; decomposition below -30 °C). Interestingly, 4[BArF] undergoes a reversible single-electron transfer (SET) reaction (oxidation) to afford the isolable BiII radical complex 5 in 5[BArF]2. According to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, the unpaired electron predominantly resides at the BiII atom. Extending the redox reactivity of 4[OTf] employing AgOTf and MeOTf affords BiIII(OTf)2 complex 7 and BiIIIMe complex 8, respectively, demonstrating the high nucleophilic character of BiI cation 4.

Abstract
The reaction of a nickel(II) chloride complex containing a tridentate β-diketiminato ligand with a picolyl group [2,6-iPr2 -C6 H3 NC(Me)CHC(Me)NH(CH2 py)]Ni(II)Cl (1)] with KSi(SiMe3 )3 conveniently afforded a nickel(I) radical with a T-shaped geometry (2). The compound's metalloradical nature was confirmed through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies and its reaction with TEMPO, resulting in the formation of a highly unusual three-membered nickeloxaziridine complex (3). When reacted with disulfide and diselenide, the S-S and Se-Se bonds were cleaved, and a coupled product was formed through carbon atom of the pyridine-imine group. The nickel(I) radical activates dihydrogen at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to give the monomeric nickel hydride.

Inorg Chem 2024; 63:3118-3128. [PMID: 38289155 PMCID: PMC10865366 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.3c04135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
E(hmds)(bqfam) (E = Ge (1a), Sn (1b); hmds = N(SiMe3)2, bqfam = N,N'-bis(quinol-8-yl)formamidinate), which are amidinatotetrylenes equipped with quinol-8-yl fragments on the amidinate N atoms, have been synthesized from the formamidine Hbqfam and Ge(hmds)2 or SnCl(hmds). Both 1a and 1b are fluxional in solution at room temperature, as the E atom oscillates from being attached to the two amidinate N atoms to being chelated by an amidinate N atom and its closest quinolyl N atom (both situations are similarly stable according to density functional theory calculations). The hmds group of 1a and 1b is still reactive and the deprotonation of another equivalent of Hbqfam can be achieved, allowing the formation of the homoleptic derivatives E(bqfam)2 (E = Ge, Sn). The reactions of 1a and 1b with [AuCl(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene), [PdCl2(MeCN)2], [PtCl2(cod)] (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene), [Ru3(CO)12] and [Co2(CO)8] have been investigated. The gold(I) complexes [AuCl{κE-E(hmds)(bqfam)}] (E = Ge, Sn) have a monodentate κE-tetrylene ligand and display fluxional behavior in solution the same as that of 1a and 1b. However, the palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes [MCl{κ3E,N,N'-ECl(hmds)(bqfam)}] (M = Pd, Pt; E = Ge, Sn) contain a κ3E,N,N'-chloridotetryl ligand that arises from the insertion of the tetrylene E atom into an M-Cl bond and the coordination of an amidinate N atom and its closest quinolyl N atom to the metal center. Finally, the binuclear ruthenium(0) and cobalt(0) complexes [Ru2{μE-κ3E,N,N'-E(hmds)(bqfam)}(CO)6] and [Co2{μE-κ3E,N,N'-E(hmds)(bqfam)}(μ-CO)(CO)4] (E = Ge, Sn) have a related κ3E,N,N'-tetrylene ligand that bridges two metal atoms through the E atom. For the κ3E,N,N'-metal complexes, the quinolyl fragment not attached to the metal is pendant in all the germanium compounds but, for the tin derivatives, is attached to (in the Pd and Pt complexes) or may interact with (in the Ru2 and Co2 complexes) the tin atom.

Abstract
Efficient hydrogenations of terminal alkenes with molecular hydrogen catalyzed by well-defined bench stable Mn(I) complexes containing an N-heterocyclic carbene-based PCP pincer ligand are described. These reactions are environmentally benign and atom economic, implementing an inexpensive, earth abundant non-precious metal catalyst. A range of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were efficiently converted into alkanes in good to excellent yields. The hydrogenation proceeds at 100 °C with catalyst loadings of 0.25-0.5 mol %, 2.5-5 mol % base (KOt Bu) and a hydrogen pressure of 20 bar. Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of DFT calculations.

Abstract
The bis(amidinato)-heavier tetrylenes E(bzamP)2 (E = Ge (2a) and Sn (2b); bzamP = N-isopropyl-N'-(diphenylphosphanylethyl)benzamidinate), which are equipped with one heavier tetrylene (germylene or stannylene) and two phosphane fragments (one on each amidinate moiety) as coordinable groups, have been synthesized from the benzamidinum salt [H2bzamP]Cl and GeCl2(dioxane) or SnCl2 in 2:1 mol ratio. A preliminary inspection of their coordination chemistry has shown that their amidinate group can also be involved in the bonding with the metal atoms as tridentate ENP and tetradentate PENP' coordination modes have been observed for the ECl(bzamP)2 ligand of [Ir{κ3E,N,P-ECl(bzamP)2}(cod)] (E = Ge (3a) and Sn (3b); cod = η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene) and the E(bzamP)2 ligand of [Ni{κ4E,N,P,P'-E(bzamP)2}] (E = Ge (4a) and Sn (4b)), which are products of reactions of 2a and 2b with [IrCl(cod)]2 (1:0.5 mol ratio) and [Ni(cod)2] (1:1 mol ratio), respectively. These products contain a 5-membered NCNEM ring that results from the insertion of the metal M atom into an E-N bond of 2a and 2b. Additionally, while iridium(I) complexes 3a and 3b are chloridotetryl derivatives (insertion of the tetrylene E atom into the Ir-Cl bond has also occurred) that have an uncoordinated phosphane group, nickel(0) complexes 4a and 4b contain a tetrylene fragment that, maintaining the lone pair, behaves as a σ-acceptor (Z-type) ligand.

Abstract
Monovalent group 15 cations L2Pn + (L = σ-donor ligands, Pn = N, P, As, Sb, Bi) have attracted significant experimental and theoretical interest because of their unusual electronic structures and growing synthetic potential. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a family of antimony(I) and bismuth(I) cations supported by a bis(silylene) ligand [(TBDSi2)Pn][BArF4] (TBD = 1, 8, 10, 9-triazaboradecalin; ArF = 3,5-CF3-C6H3; Pn = Sb, (2); Bi, (3)). The structures of 2 and 3 have been unambiguously characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray diffraction analysis and DFT calculations. They feature bis-coordinated Sb and Bi atoms which exhibit two lone pairs of electrons. The reactions of 2 and 3 with methyl trifluoromethane sulfonate provide a approach for the preparation of dicationic antimony(III) and bismuth(III) methyl complexes. Compounds 2 and 3 serve as 2e donors to group 6 metals (Cr, Mo), giving rise to ionic antimony and bismuth metal carbonyl complexes 6-9.

Abstract
The activation of Si-H bonds and/or Si-Si bonds in organosilicon compounds by transition-metal species plays a crucial role for the production of functional organosilicon compounds. Although group-10-metal species are frequently used to activate Si-H and/or Si-Si bonds, so far, systematic investigation to clarify the preferences of these metal species with respect to the activation of Si-H and/or Si-Si bonds remain elusive. Here, we report that platinum(0) species that bear isocyanide or N-heterocyclic-carbene (NHC) ligands selectively activates the terminal Si-H bonds of the linear tetrasilane Ph2(H)SiSiPh2SiPh2Si(H)Ph2 in a stepwise manner, whereby the Si-Si bonds remain intact. In contrast, analogous palladium(0) species are preferably inserted into the Si-Si bonds of the same linear tetrasilane, whereby the terminal Si-H bonds remain intact. Substitution of the terminal hydride groups in Ph2(H)SiSiPh2SiPh2Si(H)Ph2 with chloride groups leads to the insertion of platinum(0) isocyanide into all Si-Si bonds to afford an unprecedented zig-zag Pt4 cluster.

Abstract
In order to study the effects of silylene ligands on the catalytic activity of carbonyl hydrosilylation catalyzed by cobalt phosphine complexes, readily available model catalysts are required. In this contribution, a comparative study of the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by tris(trimethylphosphine) cobalt chloride, CoCl(PMe3)3 (1), and bis(silylene) cobalt chloride, Co(LSi:)2(PMe3)2Cl (2, LSi: = {PhC(NtBu)2}SiCl), is presented. It was found that both complexes 1 and 2 are good catalysts for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions. This catalytic system has a broad substrate scope and selectivity for multi-functional substrates. Silylene complex 2 shows higher activity than complex 1, bearing phosphine ligands, for aldehydes, but conversely, for ketones, the activity of complex 1 is higher than that of complex 2. It is worth noting that in the process of mechanistic studies the intermediates (PMe3)3Co(H)(Cl)(PhH2Si) (3) and (LSi:)2(PMe3)Co(H)(Cl)(PhH2Si) (4) were isolated from the stoichiometric reactions of 1 and 2 with phenylsilane, respectively. Further experiments confirmed that complex 3 is a real intermediate. A possible catalytic mechanism for the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by 1 was proposed based on the experimental investigation and literature reports, and this mechanism was further supported by DFT studies. The bis(silylene) complex 4 showed complicated behavior in solution. A series of experiments were designed to study the catalytic mechanism for the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by complex 2. According to the experimental results, the hydrosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by 1 proceeds via a different mechanism than that of the analogous reaction with complex 2 as the catalyst. In the case of ketones, complex 4 is a real intermediate, indicating that both 1 and 2 catalyze the reaction by the same mechanism. The molecular structures of 3 and 4 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract
Metal-ligand cooperativity has emerged as an important strategy to tune the reactivity of transition-metal complexes for the catalysis and activation of small molecules. Studies of main-group compounds, however, are scarce. Here, we report the synthesis, structural characterization, and reactivity of a geometrically constrained bis(silylene)-stabilized borylene. The one-pot reaction of [(SiNSi)Li(OEt2)] (SiNSi = 4,5-bis(silylene)-2,7,9,9-tetramethyl-9H-acridin-10-ide) with 1 equiv of [BBr3(SMe2)] in toluene at room temperature followed by reduction with 2 equiv of potassium graphite (KC8) leads to borylene [(SiNSi)B] (1), isolated as blue crystals in 45% yield. X-ray crystallography shows that borylene (1) has a tricoordinate boron center with a distorted T-shaped geometry. Computational studies reveal that the HOMO of 1 represents the lone pair orbital on the boron center and is delocalized over the Si-B-Si unit, while the geometric perturbation significantly increases its energy. Borylene (1) shows single electron transfer reactivity toward tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)3), forming a frustrated radical pair [(SiNSi)B]•+[B(C6F5)3]•-, which can be trapped by its reaction with PhSSPh, affording an ion pair [(SiNSi)BSPh][PhSB(C6F5)3] (3). Remarkably, the cooperation between borylene and silylene allows the facile cleavage of the N-H bond of aniline, the P-P bond in white phosphorus, and the C═O bond in ketones and carbon dioxide, thus representing a new type of main-group element-ligand cooperativity for the activation of small molecules. In addition, 1 is a strikingly effective catalyst for carbon dioxide reduction. Computational studies reveal that the cooperation between borylene and silylene plays a key role in the catalytic chemical bond activation process.

Abstract
The base-free carbazolyl bromosilylene RSiBr (R = 1,8-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-phenyl)-3,6-di-tert-butyl-carbazolyl) reacts with (η2-C2H4)Pt(PPh3)2 and Pt(PCy3)2 to form platinasilacyclobutane R(Br)Si(C2H4)Pt(PPh3)2 (1) and silylene platinum complex R(Br)SiPt(PCy3)2 (2), respectively. When silylene complex 2 is treated with C2H4, the six-membered metallasilacycle R(Br)Si(C2H4)2Pt(PCy3)2 (3) is obtained. All compounds are characterised by XRD and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
ConspectusSilylenes are divalent silicon species with an unoccupied 3p orbital and one lone pair of electrons at the SiII center. Owing to the excellent σ-donating ability of amidinato-based silylenes, which stems from the intramolecular imino-N donor interaction with the vacant 3p orbital of the silicon atom, N-heterocyclic amidinato bis(silylenes) [bis(NHSi)s] can serve as versatile strong donating ligands for cooperative stabilization of central atoms in unusually low oxidation states. Herein, we present our recent achievement on the application of bis(NHSi) ligands with electronically and spatially different spacers to main-group chemistry, which has allowed the isolation of a variety of low-valent compounds consisting of monatomic zero-valent group 14 E0 complexes (named "metallylones", E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb); monovalent group 15 EI complexes (E = N, P, isoelectronic with metallylones); and diatomic low-valent E2 complexes (E = Si, Ge, P) with intriguing electronic structures and chemical reactivities.The role of the SiII···SiII distance was revealed to be crucial in this chemistry. Utilizing the pyridine-based bis(NHSi) (Si···Si distance: 7.8 Å) ligand, germanium(0) complexes with additional Fe(CO)4 protection at the Ge0 site have been isolated. Featuring a shorter Si···Si distance of 4.3 Å, the xanthene-based bis(NHSi) has allowed the realization of the full series of heavy zero-valent group 14 element E0 complexes (E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), while the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi) (Si···Si distance: 3.3 Å) has enabled the isolation of Si0 and Ge0 complexes. Remarkably, reduction of the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi)-supported Si0 and Ge0 complexes induces the movement of two electrons into the o-carborane core and provides access to SiI-SiI and GeI-GeI species as oxidation products. Additionally, the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi) reacts with adamantyl azide, leading to a series of nitrogen(I) complexes as isoelectronic species of a carbone (C0 complex). Moreover, cooperative activation of white phosphorus gives bis(NHSi)-supported phosphorus complexes with varying and unexpected electronic structures when employing the xanthene-, o-carborane-, and aniline-based bis(NHSi)s. With the better kinetic protection provided by the xanthene-based bis(NHSi), small-molecule activation and functionalization of the bis(NHSi)-supported central E or E2 atoms (E = Si, Ge, P) are possible and furnish several novel functionalized silicon, germanium, and phosphorus compounds.With knowledge of the ability of chelating bis(NHSi)s in coordinating and functionalizing low-valent group 14 and 15 elements, the application of these ligand systems to other main-group elements such as group 2 and 13 is quite promising. To fully understand the role of the NHSi in a bis(NHSi) ligand, introducing a mixed ligand, i.e., the combination of an NHSi with other functional groups, such as Lewis acidic borane or Lewis basic borylene, in one chelating ligand could lead to new types of low-valent main-group species. Furthermore, the development of a genuine acyclic silylene, without an imino-N interaction with the vacant 3p orbital at the silicon(II) atom, as part of a chelating bis(acyclic silylene) has the potential to form very electronically different main-group element complexes that could achieve even more challenging bond activations such as N2 or unactivated C-H bonds.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:34425-34437. [PMID: 36545623 PMCID: PMC9709786 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra06196a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous materials have been the subject of intense research regarding their unique structural and textural properties and successful applications in various fields. This study reports a novel approach for synthesizing a novel porous polymer stabilizer through condensation polymerization in which Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) are used as hard templates. Using this method allowed the facile and fast removal of the template and mesopores formation following the Fe3O4 MNPs. Different techniques were performed to characterize the structure of the polymer. Based on the obtained results, the obtained mesoporous polymeric network was multi-layered and consisted of repeating units of sulfonamide, triazine, and guanidine as a novel heterogeneous multifunctional support. Afterward, the new nickel organometallic complex was supported on its inner surface using the porous poly sulfonamide triazine guanidine (PGTSA/Ni). In this process, the obtained PGTSA/Ni nanocomposite was used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the synthesis of imines from amines. Since this reaction has an acceptorless dehydrogenation pathway, the hydrogen gas is released as its by-product. The synthesized nanocatalyst was structurally confirmed using different characterization modalities, including FT-IR, SEM, XRD, EDX, TEM, elemental mapping, ICP-AES, BET, and TGA. In addition, all products were obtained in high turnover frequency (TOF) and turnover number (TON). The corresponding results revealed the high selectivity and activity of the prepared catalyst through these coupling reactions. Overall, the synthesized nanocatalyst is useable for eight cycles with no considerable catalytic efficiency loss.

Abstract
The elusive plumbylone {[SiII (Xant)SiII ]Pb0 } 3 stabilized by the bis(silylene)xanthene chelating ligand 1, [SiII (Xant)SiII =PhC(NtBu)2 Si(Xant)Si(NtBu)2 CPh], and its isolable carbonyl iron complex {[SiII (Xant)SiII ]Pb0 Fe(CO)4 } 4 are reported. The compounds 3 and 4 were obtained stepwise via reduction of the lead(II) dibromide complex {[SiII (Xant)SiII ]PbBr2 } 2, prepared from the bis(silylene)xanthene 1 and PbBr2 , employing potassium naphthalenide and K2 Fe(CO)4 , respectively. While the genuine plumbylone 3 is rather labile even at -60 °C, its Pb0 →Fe(CO)4 complex 4 turned out to be relatively stable and bottleable. However, solutions of 4 decompose readily to elemental Pb and {[SiII (Xant)SiII ]Fe(CO)3 } 5 at 80 °C. Reaction of 4 with [Rh(CO)2 Cl]2 leads to the formation of the unusual dimeric [(OC)2 RhPb(Cl)Fe(CO)4 ] complex 6 with trimetallic Rh-Pb-Fe bonds. The molecular and electronic structures of 3 and 4 were established by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
White phosphorus (P4) undergoes degradation to P2 moieties if exposed to the new N,N‐bis(silylenyl)aniline PhNSi21 (Si=Si[N(tBu)]2CPh), furnishing the first isolable 2,5‐disila‐3,4‐diphosphapyrrole 2 and the two novel functionalized Si=P doubly bonded compounds 3 and 4. The pathways for the transformation of the non‐aromatic 2,5‐disila‐3,4‐diphosphapyrrole PhNSi2P22 into 3 and 4 could be uncovered. It became evident that 2 reacts readily with both reactants P4 and 1 to afford either the polycyclic Si=P‐containing product [PhNSi2P2]2P23 or the unprecedented conjugated Si=P−Si=P−Si=NPh chain‐containing compound 4, depending on the employed molar ratio of 1 and P4 as well as the reaction conditions. Compounds 3 and 4 can be converted into each other by reactions with 1 and P4, respectively. All new compounds 1–4 were unequivocally characterized including by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the electronic structures of 2–4 were established by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
The nature of transition-metal-olefin bonding has been explained by the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model within a continuum of two extremes, namely, a π-complex and a metallacyclopropane. The textbook rule suggests that a low-spin late-transition-metal-ethylene complex more likely forms a π-complex rather than a metallacyclopropane. Herein, we report a low-spin late-transition-metal-bis-ethylene complex forming an unprecedented planar metalla-bis-cyclopropane structure with magnesium-based metalloligands. Treatment of LMgEt (L = [(DippNCMe)2CH]-, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with Ni(cod)2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) formed the heterotrimetallic complex (LMg)2Ni(C2H4)2, which features a linear Mg-Ni-Mg linkage and a planar coordination geometry at the nickel center. Both structural features and computational studies strongly supported the Ni(C2H4)2 moiety as a nickelaspiropentane. The exposure of (LMg)2Ni(C2H4)2 to 1 bar H2 at room temperature produced a four-hydride-bridged complex (LMg)2Ni(μ-H)4. The profile of H2 activation was elucidated by density functional theory calculations, which indicated a novel Mg/Ni cooperative activation mechanism with no oxidation occurring at the metal center, differing from the prevailing mono-metal-based redox mechanism. Moreover, the heterotrimetallic complex (LMg)2Ni(C2H4)2 catalyzed the hydrogenation of a wide range of unsaturated substrates under mild conditions.

Abstract
The title complex {[Ph2P(tBuN)2](Cl)Si:->Fe(CO)4} (2) was synthesized via the reaction of chlorosilylene [Ph2P(tBuN)2]SiCl (1), supported by an iminophosphonamide ligand with Fe(CO)5 in THF. The molecular structure of 2 was fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 29Si, and 31P) and IR spectroscopies, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis. In the SCXRD analysis of 2, the silylene ligand was located in the axial positions of the coordination sphere of the central iron atom and other sites were occupied by carbonyl ligands.

Abstract
Using the potentially tridentate N,N'-bis(N-heterocyclic silylene)pyridine [SiNSi] pincer-type ligand, 2,6-N,N'-diethyl-bis[N,N'-di-tert-butyl(phenylamidinato)silylene] diaminopyridine, led to the first isolable bis(silylene)pyridine-stabilized manganese(0) complex, {κ3-[SiNSi]Mn(dmpe)} 4 (dmpe = (Me2P)2C2H4), which represents an isolobal 17 VE analogue of the elusive Mn(CO)5 radical. The compound is accessible through the reductive dehalogenation of the corresponding dihalido (SiNSi)Mn(ii) complexes 1 (Cl) and 2 (Br) with potassium graphite. Exposing 4 towards the stronger π-acceptor ligands CO and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide afforded the related Mn(0) complexes κ2-[SiNSi]Mn(CO)3 (5) and κ3-[SiNSi]Mn(CNXylyl)2(κ1-dmpe) (6), respectively. Remarkably, the stabilization of Mn(0) in the coordination sphere of the [SiNSi] ligand favors the d7 low-spin electronic configuration, as suggested by EPR spectroscopy, SQUID measurements and DFT calculations. The suitability of 4 acting as a superior pre-catalyst in regioselective hydroboration of quinolines has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
The bis(silylene)pyridine cobalt(III) dihydride boryl, trans-[ ptol SiNSi]Co(H)2BPin (ptolSiNSi = 2,6-[EtNSi(NtBu)2CAr]2 C5H3N, where Ar = C6H5CH3, and Pin =pinacolato) has been used as a precatalyst for the hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) of arenes and heteroarenes using benzene-d 6 as the deuterium source. Use of D2 as the source of the isotope produced modest levels of deuterium incorporation and stoichiometric studies established modification of the pincer ligand through irreversible addition of H2 across the silylene leading to catalyst deactivation. High levels of deuterium incorporation were observed with benzene-d 6 as the isotope source and enabled low (0.5 - 5 mol%) loadings of the cobalt precursor. The resulting high activity for C-H activation enabled deuterium incorporation at sterically encumbered sites previously inaccessible with first-row metal HIE catalysts. The cobalt-catalyzed method was also compatible with aryl halides, demonstrating a kinetic preference for chemoselective C(sp2)-H activation over C(sp2)-X (X = Cl, Br) bonds. Monitoring the catalytic reaction by NMR spectroscopy established cobalt(III) resting states at both low and high conversions of substrate and the overall performance was inhibited by the addition of HBPin. Studies on precatalyst activation with cis-[ ptol SiNSi]Co(Bf)2H and cis-[ ptol SiNSi]Co(H)2Bf (where Bf = 2-benzofuranyl), support the intermediacy of bis(hydride)aryl cobalt intermediates as opposed to bis(aryl)hydride cobalt complexes in the catalytic HIE method. Mechanistic insights resulted in an improved protocol using [ ptol SiNSi]Co(H)3 NaBHEt3 as the precatalyst, ultimately translating onto higher levels of isotopic incorporation.

Abstract
New types of metal-free white phosphorus (P4 ) activation are reported. While the phosphine-silylene-substituted dicarborane 1, CB-SiP (CB=ortho-C,C'-C2 B10 H10 , Si=PhC(tBuN)2 Si, P=P[N(tBu)CH2 ]2 ), activates white phosphorus in a 2 : 1 molar ratio to yield the P5 -chain containing species 2, the analogous bis(silylene)-substituted compound 3, CB-Si2 , reacts with P4 in the molar ratio of 2 : 1 to furnish the first isolable 1,3-diphospha-2,4-disilabutadiene (Si=P-Si=P-containing) compound 4. For the latter reaction, two intermediates having a CB-Si2 P4 and CB-Si2 P2 core could be observed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The compounds 2 and 4 were characterized including single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Their electronic structures and mechanisms were investigated by density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Halogen-substituted silylenes are an important building block for synthesizing silicon-based low-valent and multiple-bond species. However, the number of reports on heavier halosilylenes that contain bromine and iodine is still limited. Here, we present a convenient synthesis for bromo- and iodosilylenes supported by an iminophosphonamide ligand. The heavier halosilylenes [Ph2P(tBuN)2]SiX (2: X = Br, 3: X = I) were successfully synthesized via the halogen-exchange reaction of chlorosilylene 1 with alkali halides in THF. As a demonstration of the reactivity of 2 and 3, oxidative addition reactions of 2 and 3 with elemental selenium in C6D6 afforded the corresponding bromo- (5) or iodosilylene-selone (6) as colorless crystals. The molecular structures of 2, 3, 5, and 6 were fully characterized by spectroscopic means and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the effects of the halogen atom on the electronic state of halosilylenes 1-3 and halosilylene-selones 4-6 were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
