AbstractThe reaction of R3M (M=Ga, In) with HESiR′3 (E=O, S; R′3=Ph3, iPr3, Et3, tBuMe2) leads to the formation of (Me2GaOSiPh3)2(1); (Me2GaOSitBuMe2)2(2); (Me2GaOSiEt3)2(3); (Me2InOSiPh3)2(4); (Me2InOSitBuMe2)2(5); (Me2InOSiEt3)2(6); (Me2GaSSiPh3)2(7); (Et2GaSSiPh3)2(8); (Me2GaSSiiPr3)2(9); (Et2GaSSiiPr3)2(10); (Me2InSSiPh3)3(11); (Me2InSSiiPr3)n(12), in high yields at room temperature. The compounds have been characterized by multinuclear NMR and in most cases by X-ray crystallography. The molecular structures of (1), (4), (7) and (8) have been determined. Compounds (3), (6) and (10) are liquids at room temperature. In the solid state, (1), (4), (7) and (9) are dimers with central core of the dimer being composed of a M2E2 four-membered ring. VT-NMR studies of (7) show facile redistribution between four- and six-membered rings in solution. The thermal decomposition of (1)–(12) was examined by TGA and range from 200 to 350°C. Bulk pyrolysis of (1) and (2) led to the formation of Ga2O3; (4) and (5) In metal; (7)–(10) GaS and (11)–(12) InS powders, respectively.

Raman and infrared vibrational spectroscopy were used to confirm the presence of aluminum borohydride dissolved in a commercial polydimethylsiloxane vacuum grease at room temperature. Spectroscopic evidence for an adduct between the aluminum borohydride and polydimethylsiloxane is also presented. Once dissolved in the polydimethylsiloxane grease, the aluminum borohydride was stabilized with respect to its usual pyrophoric reactivity in wet or dry air.

Abstract The stereochemistry of the photo reaction products of tricarbonyl-η-6,6-dimethyl-fulvene-chromium(O) (1) with 7-methyl-and 7-methoxycycloheptatriene was studied by NMR-spectroscopy. Both trienes add to 1, displace a CO ligand, and form substituted dicarbonyl-η3-2-cycloheptadienylene-η5-2-cyclopentadienylidene-propane-chromium(0) complexes. With C7H7CH3 only one isomer (3) is formed with the methyl-group in endo-position and the enyl system encompassing C(1′)-C(3′) of the seven membered ring. C7H7OCH3 yields 3 isomers which were separated by column chromatography. 5 has the same constitution as 3. The isomers 4 and 5 bear the OCH3-group in e^o-position. The enyl system of 4 is located on C(1′)-C(3′), that of 6 on C(3′)-C(5′). 6 rearranges at room temperature to 4.

Abstract By 1H NMR spectroscopy the stereochemistry of the 1-methyl-1-benzothiepinium ring system was investigated both in thermodynamic and kinetic respects. It was shown that in solution a rapid mutual conversion of the boat shaped seven membered ring system with exo-respectively endo-S-methyl group occurs via a ring inversion and not by a pyramidal inversion at the sulfonium ion. At room temperature predominantly the conformation with the exo-S-methyl group is present.

Nb2O5 bulk and Nb2O5 modified with H2O2 were studied in the epoxidation of geraniol at 1 bar and room temperature. The structural and morphological properties for both catalysts were very similar, indicating that the peroxo-complex species were not formed. The order of the reaction was one respect to geraniol and close to zero respect to H2O2, these values fit well with the kinetic data obtained. The geraniol epoxidation is favored by the presence of peroxo groups, which is reached using an excess of H2O2. Moreover, the availability of the geraniol to adopt the three-membered-ring transition state was found as the best form for this type of compound.

The room-temperature reaction of Me3Ga with benzimidazole 2-carboxylic acid in xylene solvent has yielded a novel crystalline hexameric gallium compound with "MeGa" moieties bridged by the doubly depronotated ligand precursor. Crystals of [MeGa(4,5-benzimidazolato-2-carboxylato)]6·(C6H6)·(m-Me2C6H4)2 are monoclinic, a = 18.091(2), b = 17.094(2), c = 13.2215(5) Å, Z = 2, space group C2/m. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R (F, I [Formula: see text] 3σ(I)) = 0.064 (Rw (F2, all data) = 0.134). The hexameric Ga complex contains a six-membered ring of Ga atoms, bridged by the benzimidazolate ligands with the benzo rings projecting alternately above and below the Ga plane, thus forming a ball-shaped molecule. The complex could have ideal D3d symmetry, but it contains an encapsulated molecule of benzene, which distorts the regularity of the Ga6 hexagon, and reduces the symmetry of the complex to the crystallographically observed C2h. The coordination geometry at each of the two independent GaO2N2C centres approximates a trigonal bipyramid, with a N2C trigonal plane, and the O atoms above and below; average dimensions are Ga-O = 2.176(2), Ga-N = 1.973(3), Ga-C = 1.927(5) Å, O-Ga-O = 165°. The unit cell also contains four m-xylene solvent molecules (outside the molecular cage).Key words: gallium, crystal structure, benzene intercalate, benzimidazolecarboxylic acid.

Macrocrystalline cyclic oxalates (2,3-dimethyl-5-6-p-dioxanediones) were prepared by vacuum distillation of the polymeric mixture formed on heating ethyl oxalate, and 1, 2-dimethylethylene glycol with an ester-interchange catalyst. Monomeric dimethylethylene oxalate polymerizes less readily than propylene oxalate, and only at an elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst. Dimethyl substitution therefore confers marked stability on the six-membered ring. Hydrolysis reaches 50% completion almost instantaneously, followed by a slow first order reaction resulting in complete cleavage of the monobasic acid in about one month at room temperature. Hydrolysis constants for the levo- and meso- oxalates are 0.069 and 0.076 days−1 respectively. The crystalline monomers do not possess sharp melting points and represent stereoisomeric mixtures which display optical activity in solution.

An efficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of new phosphorus–sulfur heterocycles by a one-pot three-component condensation reaction of a four-membered-ring thionation reagent [Lawesson’s reagent or its ferrocene analogue (2,4-diferrocenyl-1,3,2,4-diathiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide)], an alkane- or arenedithiol, and a dihaloalkane at room temperature in the presence of triethylamine. The simple synthesis method with mild conditions (room temperature and normal reactant concentrations) enhances further the application of the multicomponent reaction in the preparation of novel phosphorus–sulfur heterocycles. Six representative X-ray structures confirmed the formation of these macrocycles.
