The bulky m-terphenyl phenol Ar*OH 1 (Ar* = C6H3-2,6-Mes2, Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) was synthesized via the treatment of Ar*Li with nitrobenzene. The phenol 1 is prepared in modest to good yield using this method. Attempts were also made to prepare 1 through oxidation of the bulky boronic acid Ar*B(OH)2 with Oxone®, but this reaction was not suitable for preparative-scale reactions. Side products of the reaction between Ar*Li and nitrobenzene were identified as Ar*[N(O)Ph] and [C6H5N(O)]2 and were characterized by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy. A variety of main-group and transition-metal complexes of Ar*OH were prepared, namely Sn(OAr*)2, Ge(OAr*)2, [N(SiMe3)2]Ge(OAr*), [Me2Al(OAr*)]2, and Ti(NMe2)(OAr*)2. All compounds were characterized spectroscopically and most were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well.Key words: m-terphenyl, main-group compounds, X-ray crystallography, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy.

Here we apply microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) to the structural determination of transition metal complexes. We find that the simultaneous use of 300 keV electrons, very low electron doses, and an ultra-sensitive camera allows for the collection of data without cryogenic cooling of the stage. This technique reveals the first crystal structures of the classic zirconocene hydride, colloquially known as “Schwartz’s reagent”, a novel Pd(II) complex not amenable to solution-state NMR or X-ray crystallography, and five other paramagnetic or diamagnetic transition metal complexes.

The 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 carbaborane reacts with sodium in liquid ammonia with the formation of 6-CB9H12- which was used as a starting compound for preparing the 4-CB8H14, 9-L-6-CB9H13 (L = (CH3)2S, CH3CN and P(C6H5)3), 1-(η5-C5H5)-1,2-FeCB9H10-, and 2,3-(η5-C5H5)2-2,31-Co2CB9H10- carboranes. The 4-CB8H14 compound was dehydrogenated at 623 K to give 4-(7)-CB8H12 carborane. Base degradation of 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 in methanol resulted in the formation of 3,4-μ-N(CH3)3CH-B5H10. The structure of all compounds was proposed on the basis of their 11B and 1H NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction was used in the case of the transition metal complexes.

Post-synthetic modification of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) facilitates a strategic transformation of potentially inert frameworks into functionalized materials, tailoring them for specific applications. In particular, the post-synthetic incorporation of transition-metal complexes within MOFs, a process known as ‘metalation’, is a particularly promising avenue towards functionalizing MOFs. Herein, we describe the post-synthetic metalation of a microporous MOF with various transition-metal nitrates. The parent framework, 1 , contains free-nitrogen donor chelation sites, which readily coordinate metal complexes in a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation which, remarkably, can be readily monitored by X-ray crystallography. The presence of an open void surrounding the chelation site in 1 prompted us to investigate the effect of the MOF pore environment on included metal complexes, particularly examining whether void space would induce changes in the coordination sphere of chelated complexes reminiscent of those found in the solution state. To test this hypothesis, we systematically metalated 1 with first-row transition-metal nitrates and elucidated the coordination environment of the respective transition-metal complexes using X-ray crystallography. Comparison of the coordination sphere parameters of coordinated transition-metal complexes in 1 against equivalent solid- and solution-state species suggests that the void space in 1 does not markedly influence the coordination sphere of chelated species but we show notably different post-synthetic metalation outcomes when different solvents are used. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks: materials by design’.

Under exclusion of air the thioether and thiol complexes [Ru(SRR′)(PPh3)′S4′] (′S4′2- = 1,2-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane (2—)) easily react with CHCl3 yielding [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′—CHCl2)] in which one thiolato atom of the ′S4′ ligand is diastereospecifically dichloromethylated. In the presence of air, however, [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′S4′] is formed.The molecular structures of [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′-CHCl2)] · 2CHCl3 and [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′buS4′] have been determined by X-ray crystallography. ′buS4′2- (= 1,2-bis(3,5-di(t-butyl)-2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane(2-)) is the t-butyl derivative of the ′S4′ ligand. Reasons for observed diastereospecifity of alkylation are discussed.
