چکیده

Femtosecond pump-probe absorption spectroscopy in tetrahydrofuran solution has been used to investigate the dynamics of a metalloid cluster compound {Ge9[Si(SiMe3)3]3}(-). Upon UV photoexcitation, the transients in the near-infrared spectral region showed signatures reminiscent of excess electrons in THF (bound or quasi-free) whereas in the visible part excited state dynamics of the cluster complex dominates.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene Coinage Metal Complexes of the Germanium-Rich Metalloid Clusters [Ge9R3]- and [Ge9RI2]2- with R = Si(iPr)3 and RI = Si(TMS)3

We report on the synthesis of novel coinage metal NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) compounds of the germanium-rich metalloid clusters [Ge9R3] and [Ge9R2] with R = Si(Pr)3 and RI = Si(TMS)3. NHCCu{η-Ge9R3} with R = Si(Pr)3 (1) represents a less bulky silyl group-substituted derivative of the known analogous compounds with R = Si(Bu)3 or Si(TMS)3. The coordination of the [NHCDippCu]+ moiety to the cl...

Synthesis of a chain of nine-atom germanium clusters accompanied with dimerization of the sequestering agent

[Rb2(4,2,1,1-crypt)]Ge9·en was synthesized from a precursor of nominal composition Li2RbGe17 that was dissolved in ethylenediamine. Red crystals of the compound were obtained after addition of 2,1,1-crypt and layering with THF. The structure (triclinic, P1̄ a = 11.1927(5), b = 15.0516(7), and c = 15.7847(7) Å, = 57.671(1), b = 83.594(1), and c = 80.217(1)°, Z = 2) features infinite chains of (–G...

Ultrafast photoprotective properties of the sunscreening agent octocrylene.

Today octocrylene is one of the most common molecules included in commercially available sunscreens. It provides broadband photoprotection for the skin from incident UV-A and UV-B radiation of the solar spectrum. In order to understand how octocrylene fulfils its role as a sunscreening agent, femtosecond pump-probe transient electronic UV-visible absorption spectroscopy is utilised to investiga...

Zintl Anions

The chemistry of nine-atom deltahedral Zintl anions of Group 14 has advanced greatly in recent years. Redox reactions of these clusters have led to dimers, trimers, tetramers, and infinite chains of germanium clusters such as [Ge9-Ge9] 6 , [Ge9=Ge9=Ge9] 6 , [Ge9=Ge9=Ge9=Ge9] 8 , 1[-(Ge9) 2 -], and 1[-(HgGe9) 2 -]. Similar redox reactions combined with nucleophilic addition of various anions hav...

Ge(14)[Ge(SiMe(3))(3)](5)Li(3)(THF)(6): the largest metalloid cluster compound of germanium: on the way to fullerene-like compounds?

The reaction of GeBr with LiGe(SiMe(3))(3) yields the largest metalloid cluster compound of germanium Ge(14)[Ge(SiMe(3))(3)](5)Li(3)(THF)(6), in which 14 germanium atoms are arranged as a hollow sphere in the cluster core, showing that in the case of germanium also fullerene-like compounds might be present in the borderland between the molecular and solid states.
