RESUMO
Until now, there has been very little experimental evidence for the existence of free arsinidenes and stibinidenes, apart from the hydrides, AsH and SbH. Here, we report on photogeneration of triplet ethynylarsinidene, HCCAs, and triplet ethynylstibinidene, HCCSb, from ethynylarsine and ethynylstibine, respectively, in solid argon matrices. The products were identified using infrared spectroscopy and the associated UV absorption spectra are interpreted with the aid of theoretical predictions.
RESUMO
We report the first detection of phosphorescence from the phosphaethynyl radical. This rare instance of quartet-doublet emission, studied here in solid argon, is presumably promoted by efficient intersystem crossing from the originally photoexcited doublet (B2 Σ+ ) to the adjacent second quartet state, 14 Δ. Vibronic progressions were traced for the a4 Σ+ -X2 Σ+ and a4 Σ+ -A2 Ði systems from their origins up to (v'=0)â(v''=5) and (v'=0)â(v''=2) bands, respectively. The measured phosphorescence lifetime is 108 ± 3â ms.
RESUMO
While the archetypal free phosphinidene, H-P, has been studied for over a century, reports on uncomplexed, univalent phosphorus compounds are very sparse. Here we demonstrate production of HCCP in solid argon through the UV-induced rearrangement and subsequent dehydrogenation of phosphapropyne, CH3 CP. Migration of H atoms along the CCP backbone of CH3 CP resulted in production of the previously unobserved species 1-phosphapropadiene, CH2 =C=PH, followed by ethynylphosphine, HCCPH2 .
RESUMO
The intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2 4 adds cooperatively to carbon monoxide to form the five-membered heterocyclic carbonyl compound 5. The intramolecular FLP 7 contains an exo-3-B(C6F5)2 Lewis acid and an endo-2-PMes2 Lewis base functionality coordinated at the norbornane framework. This noninteracting FLP adds carbon monoxide in solution at -35 °C cooperatively to yield a five-membered heterocyclic FLP-carbonyl compound 8. In contrast, FLP 7 is carbonylated in a CO-doped argon matrix at 25 K to selectively form a borane carbonyl 9 without involvement of the adjacent phosphanyl moiety. The free FLP 7 was generated in the gas phase from its FLPH2 product 10. A DFT study has shown that the phosphonium hydrido borate zwitterion 10 is formed exergonically in solution but tends to lose H2 when brought into the gas phase.
