Phosphorus Centers of Different Hybridization in Phosphaalkene-Substituted Phospholes

چکیده
Phosphole-substituted phosphaalkenes (PPAs) of the general formula Mes*P=C(CH(3))-(C(4)H(2)P(Ph))-R 5 a-c (Mes*=2,4,6-tBu(3)Ph; R=2-pyridyl (a), 2-thienyl (b), phenyl (c)) have been prepared from octa-1,7-diyne-substituted phosphaalkenes by utilizing the Fagan-Nugent route. The presence of two differently hybridized phosphorus centers (σ(2) ,λ(3) and σ(3) ,λ(3)) in 5 offers the possibility to selectively tune the HOMO-LUMO gap of the compounds by utilizing the different reactivity of the two phosphorus heteroatoms. Oxidation of 5 a-c by sulfur proceeds exclusively at the σ(3) ,λ(3) -phosphorus atom, thus giving rise to the corresponding thioxophospholes 6 a-c. Similarly, 5 a is selectively coordinated by AuCl at the σ(3),λ(3) -phosphorus atom. Subsequent second AuCl coordination at the σ(2),λ(3) -phosphorus heteroatom results in a dimetallic species that is characterized by a gold-gold interaction that provokes a change in π conjugation. Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical investigations show that the phosphaalkene and the phosphole both have a sizable impact on the electronic properties of the compounds. The presence of the phosphaalkene unit induces a decrease of the HOMO-LUMO gap relative to reference phosphole-containing π systems that lack a P=C substituent.

متن کاملTwo phosphaalkene radical cations with inverse spin density distributions.
Two phosphaalkene radical cations 1(•+) and 2(•+) have been reported. 1(•+) is stable in the solid state and has been structurally characterized. 2(•+) only remains persistent in solution. 1(•+) is described as a phosphorus-centered radical, while 2(•+) as a delocalized radical with little contribution from phosphorus.

The 1,1 carboboration reaction of a variety of metal-substituted alkynes with simple trialkylboranes R3B yields the respective alkenylboranes (Wrackmeyer reaction). The use of the strongly electrophilic R-B(C6F5)2 reagents allows for much milder reaction conditions and gives good yields of the respective bulky alkenylboranes from conventional terminal alkynes by means of 1,2-hydride migration. ...
