Cation affinity numbers of Lewis bases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using selected theoretical methods the affinity of a large range of Lewis bases towards model cations has been quantified. The range of model cations includes the methyl cation as the smallest carbon-centered electrophile, the benzhydryl and trityl cations as models for electrophilic substrates encountered in Lewis base-catalyzed synthetic procedures, and the acetyl cation as a substrate model for acyl-transfer reactions. Affinities towards these cationic electrophiles are complemented by data for Lewis-base addition to Michael acceptors as prototypical neutral electrophiles.

Alkali Metal Cation versus Proton and Methyl Cation Affinities: Structure and Bonding Mechanism
We have analyzed the structure and bonding of gas-phase Cl-X and [HCl-X](+) complexes for X(+)= H(+), CH3 (+), Li(+), and Na(+), using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). We wish to establish a quantitative trend in affinities of the anionic and neutral Lewis bases Cl(-) and HCl for the various cations. The Cl-X bond becomes longer and weaker along X(+) = H(+), CH3 (+), Li(+), and Na(...

متن کاملSynthesis and Lewis acid properties of a ferrocene-based planar-chiral borenium cation.
The first planar chiral ferrocenylborenium species (pR)-3(+) is obtained in the enantiopure form by halide abstraction from the corresponding chloroborane adduct (pR)-2 using Krossing's salt. Competition experiments suggest that the Lewis acidity of (pR)-3(+) is higher than that of B(C6F5)3 towards anions and slightly lower towards neutral Lewis bases. The ferrocenylborenium species (pR)-3(+) i...

متن کاملA new approach to internal Lewis pairs featuring a phosphenium acid and a pyridine base.
A bis(imino)acenaphthene (BIAN) ligand containing a pendant Lewis base has been used as a new framework to support a N-heterocyclic phosphenium cation (NHP). Reactivity studies demonstrate the ability of the ligand to act as a Lewis base, while the phosphorus centre provides a Lewis acidic site, giving new opportunities in NHP chemistry.
