The reactivity of diazabutadienes toward low oxidation state Group 13 iodides and the synthesis of a new gallium(I) carbene analogue†
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reactions of two diazabutadiene ligands, Ar-DAB [(ArN CH)2, Ar = 2,6-Pr2C6H3] and Bu-DAB [(BuN CH)2] with either GaI or an AlI3/Al mixture have afforded the paramagnetic compounds, [{IGa (Bu-DAB)}2], [I2Ga (Bu-DAB)] and [I2Al (Ar-DAB)] which have been characterised by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy. In addition, the diamagnetic, ionic complex, [I2Al (Ar-DAB)]I, has been prepared and structurally characterised. The reduction of [I2Ga (Ar-DAB)] with potassium metal in the presence of various Lewis bases has led to three structurally characterised compounds, [{(Et2O)KGa (Ar-DAB)}2], [{(TMEDA)KGa (Ar-DAB)}2] and [:Ga(Ar-DAB)]2[{K(18-crown-6)}2(μ-18-crown-6)], which contain the second example of an anionic gallium() carbene analogue. In addition, the former two compounds display Ga Ga interactions in the solid state which are unprecedented for this complex type.

An efficient and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of aryl iodides have been developed by diazotization of aromatic amines with NaNO2 and nanosilica periodic acid (nano-SPIA) as a green catalyst via grinding followed by a sandmeyer iodination by KI under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The ensuing aryl diazonium salts supported on nano-SPIA were sufficiently stable ...
