    Linear and bent Cp*2Si : reversible phase transition of a key molecule
    (2023) Ruth, Paul Niklas; Sarcevic, Julijan; Herbst‐Irmer, Regine; Sindlinger, Christian P.; Stalke, Dietmar
    The solid-state structure of decamethylsilicocene Cp*2Si with a bent and a linear molecule in the same unit cell was so far considered an exception in relation to the structures of its all-bent heavier analogues Cp*2E with E=Ge, Sn, Pb. Here, we present the solution to this conundrum by reporting a low-temperature phase, where all three symmetrically independent molecules are present in a bent formation. This reversible enantiotropic phase transition occurs in the temperature range between 80 K and 130 K and provides a rationale for the unexpected linear molecule based in entropy beyond hand-waving explanations such as electronic reasons or packing effects.

    Synthesis of cobalt‐tin and ‐lead tetrylidynes : reactivity study of the triple bond
    (2023) Auer, Maximilian; Zwettler, Kathrin; Eichele, Klaus; Schubert, Hartmut; Sindlinger, Christian P.; Wesemann, Lars
    Tetrylidynes [TbbSn≡Co(PMe3)3] (1 a) and [TbbPb≡Co(PMe3)3] (2) (Tbb=2,6-[CH(SiMe3)2]2-4-(t-Bu)C6H2) are accessed for the first time via a substitution reaction between [Na(OEt2)][Co(PMe3)4] and [Li(thf)2][TbbEBr2] (E=Sn, Pb). Following an alternative procedure the stannylidyne [Ar*Sn≡Co(PMe3)3] (1 b) was synthesized by hydrogen atom abstraction using AIBN from the paramagnetic hydride complex [Ar*SnH=Co(PMe3)3] (4) (AIBN=azobis(isobutyronitrile)). The stannylidyne 1 a adds two equivalents of water to yield the dihydroxide [TbbSn(OH)2CoH2(PMe3)3] (5). In reaction of the stannylidyne 1 a with CO2 a product of a redox reaction [TbbSn(CO3)Co(CO)(PMe3)3] (6) was isolated. Protonation of the tetrylidynes occurs at the cobalt atom to give the metalla-stanna vinyl cation [TbbSn=CoH(PMe3)3][BArF4] (7 a) [ArF=C6H3-3,5-(CF3)2]. The analogous germanium and tin cations [Ar*E=CoH(PMe3)3][BArF4] (E=Ge 9, Sn 7 b) (Ar*=C6H3(2,6-Trip)2, Trip=2,4,6-C6H2iPr3) were also obtained by oxidation of the paramagnetic complexes [Ar*EH=Co(PMe3)3] (E=Ge 3, Sn 4), which were synthesized by substitution of a PMe3 ligand of [Co(PMe3)4] by a hydridoylene (Ar*EH) unit.
