Axially chiral mono(NHC)–Pd(II) and mono(NHC)–Au(I) complexes with one side shaped 1,1'-biphenyl backbone have been prepared from chiral 6,6'-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'-diamine. The complexes were characterized by X-ray crystal structure diffraction. The Pd(II) complex showed good catalytic activities in the Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck–Mizoroki coupling reactions, and the (S)-Au(I) complexes also showed good catalytic activities in the asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination reaction to give the corresponding product in moderate ee.

Several novel chiral N-heterocyclic carbene and phosphine ligands were prepared from (S)-BINOL. Moreover, their ligated Au complexes were also successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction. A weak gold-π interaction between the Au atom and the aromatic ring in these gold complexes was identified. Furthermore, we confirmed the formation of a pair of diastereomeric isomers in NHC gold complexes bearing an axially chiral binaphthyl moiety derived from the hindered rotation around C–C and C–N bonds. In the asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination reaction most of these chiral Au(I) complexes showed good catalytic activities towards olefins tethered with a NHTs functional group to give the corresponding product in moderate yields and up to 29% ee.

A series of trifluoromethyl-substituted 3-alkoxypyridinol derivatives has been deprotected to furnish pyridine-3,4-diol derivatives in good yields. The X-ray crystal structure analysis proved that a 1:1 mixture of pyridine-3,4-diols and their pyridin-4-one tautomers exist in the solid state. Subsequent conversion into bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonate)s were smoothly achieved. The obtained compounds were used as substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. Fluorescence measurements of the biscoupled products showed a maximum of emission in the violet region of the spectrum.

Protodesilylation of diphenylsilane with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and subsequent reaction of the obtained bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)silane with tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium (1) (molar ratio 1:2) afforded bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (8). Methyl-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (3) and phenyl-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (10) were obtained by coupling reactions of 1 with MeHSiCl2 or PhHSiCl2, respectively, (2:1). By treatment with HCBr3, the H-silanes 3, 8, and10 were converted into the bromosilanes [(Me3Si)3Si]2SiR1R2 (9: R1 = R2 = Br; 11: R1 = Me, R2 = Br; 12: R1 = Ph, R2 = Br). X-ray crystal structure analyses, performed for 3, 10 and 12, confirmed the expected distortions of the molecular skeletons of the compounds. Thus, e.g., in 10, the spatial demand of the two extended hemispherical hypersilyl groups forces a widening of the Si-Si-Si angle at the central Si atom to a value of 128.3°.Key words: silanes, sterically congested, bis(hypersilyl)silanes, hypersilylsilanes, bis(hypersilyl)germanes, tris(trimethylsilyl)silylsilanes.
