Article Abstract
A diphosphine chelate ligand with a wide and flexible bite angle, a unique stereochemical environment, and redox-active and ambiphilic character is reported. Initially generated as its HgCl complex by reaction of 1,2-fc(PPh )(SnMe ) (fc=ferrocenediyl) with HgCl in acetone, treatment with [n-Bu N]CN readily liberates the free chiral bidentate ligand. An intermolecular ClHg-Cl→Hgfc (2.9929(13) Å) interaction that is unprecedented in ambiphilic ligand chemistry is seen in the solid structure of Hg(fcPPh ) ⋅HgCl where the bridging mercury atom acts as a σ-acceptor. Furthermore, a bis-[Rh(COD)Cl] complex is introduced, which displays relatively short Rh⋅⋅⋅Hg contacts of 3.4765(5) and 3.4013(1) Å. Wiberg indices of 0.12 are determined for these Rh⋅⋅⋅Hg interactions and an AIM analysis reveals bond paths with an electron density ρ(r) of 1.2×10 and 1.4×10 e/a at the bond critical points.

A first -type tricyclic 8-8-8 (three fused-8-membered ring) laddersiloxane functionalized with four azido groups was successfully synthesized through efficient and highly selective hydrosilylation and nucleophilic substitution, achieving an excellent overall yield. The starting material, a tetravinyl-substituted 8-8-8 laddersiloxane, was prepared via a straightforward and scalable method. The obtained azido-functionalized ladder compound, fully characterized, constitutes a versatile building block for hybrid materials.

The interaction of sodium phytate hydrate CHOP·xNa·yHO (phytNa) with Cu(OAc)·HO and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) led to the anionic tetranuclear complex [Cu(HO)(phen)(phyt)]·2Na·2NH·32HO (), the structure of the latter was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The phytate is completely deprotonated; six phosphate fragments (with atoms P1-P6) are characterized by different spatial arrangements relative to the cyclohexane ring (1a5e conformation), which determines two different types of coordination to the complexing agents-P1 and P3, P4, and P6 have monodentate, while P2 and P5 are bidentately bound to Cu cations. The molecular structure of the anion complex is stabilized by a set of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving coordinated water molecules.

Five new alkyl zinc complexes supported by different formylfluorenimide ligands were prepared and characterized. Complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of 9-[N(CH)-Cy-NCH]Fl (Cy = 2-cyclohexyl) (Fl = fluorenylL1 with diethylzinc (ZnEt) in tetrahydrofuran. Reacting 9-[2-pyridyl-CH-NCH]Fl L2 with ZnEt in tetrahydrofuran yielded complex 2.

The 18e saturated rhodium(III) species [Rh(H)(X)(κ2-NSitBu2)(bipyMe2)] (NSitBu2 = {4-methylpyridine-2-yloxy}ditertbutylsilyl; bipyMe2 = 4,4´-dimethylbipyridine) (X = Cl, 1; OTf, 2) have been prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and in the case of 2 it has been possible to determine its solid-state structure by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 has proven to be an effective catalyst precursor for the reaction of styrene derivatives with hydrosilanes in CD2Cl2. However, under catalytic conditions complex 2 decomposes.

The grafting of a -(CH)PR moiety on an NHC ligand backbone in the Mn(I) complex [Cp(CO)Mn(IMes)] followed by double deprotonation opens a route to bidentate ligands with extreme electron-donating character. Such remarkable electronic properties can even allow intramolecular sp C-H functionalization in typically inert square-planar Rh(I) dicarbonyl complexes.
