The effect of the equatorial environment on oxo-group silylation of the uranyl dication: a computational study.

چکیده
A theoretical investigation of the reductive oxo-group silylation reaction of the uranyl dication held in a Pacman macrocylic environment has been carried out. The effect of the modeling of the Pacman ligand on the reaction profiles is found to be important, with the dipotassiation of a single oxo group identified as a key component in promoting the reaction between the Si-X and uranium-oxo bonds. This reductive silylation reaction is also proposed to occur in an aqueous environment but was found not to operate on bare ions; in this latter case, substitution of a ligand in the equatorial plane was the most likely reaction. These results demonstrate the importance of the presence but not the identity of the equatorial ligands upon the silylation of the uranyl U-O bond.

متن کاملEquatorial ligand substitution by hydroxide in uranyl Pacman complexes of a Schiff-base pyrrole macrocycle.
The synthesis of the mono-uranyl complex [UO(2)(THF)(H(2)L(Me))] of a ditopic Schiff-base pyrrole macrocycle is described and is shown to adopt a Pacman wedge-shaped structure in which the uranyl dication is desymmetrised and sits solely in one N(4)-donor compartment to leave the other vacant. While investigating the mechanism of the previously reported, base-initiated, reductive silylation che...
متن کاملControlling uranyl oxo group interactions to group 14 elements using polypyrrolic Schiff-base macrocyclic ligands.
Heterodinuclear uranyl/group 14 complexes of the aryl- and anthracenyl-linked Schiff-base macrocyclic ligands LMe and LA were synthesised by reaction of UO2(H2L) with M{N(SiMe3)2}2 (M = Ge, Sn, Pb). For complexes of the anthracenyl-linked ligand (LA) the group 14 metal sits out of the N4-donor plane by up to 0.7 Å resulting in relatively short MOUO distances which decrease down the group; howev...

A mixture oftrimethylchlorosilane (TMS-Cl), lithium and tetrahydrofuran (THF) reacts with imines to produce disilyl compound by addition of two trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups to the double bond of the imine. On hydrolysis the TMS on nitrogen is substituted by hydrogen and yields ? -silylamine. In the presence of acetyl chloride (CH COC1), benzene and pyridine, the ?-silyamine produces the corresp...
