Abstract
The insertion of carbon dioxide into rare earth metal–phosphorus bonds is underexplored compared to many other rare earth metal–ligand σ-bonds. Treatment of a C6D6 solution of the dimeric yttrium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide complex [Y(P″)2(μ-P″)]2 (1-Y; P″ = {P(SiMe3)2}−) with 1 atm carbon dioxide resulted in rapid conversion to the dimeric hexaphosphinocarboxylate product [Y{O2C(P″)-κ2O,O′}{μ-O2C(P″)-1κO;2κO′}{μ-O2C(P″)-1:2κ2O;1κO′}]2 (2-Y), which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, multinuclear NMR and ATR-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Complex 2-Y has a paddlewheel-like structure, with one bidentate bis(silyl)phosphinocarboxylate terminally bound at each yttrium center and the other four ligands bridging these ions with two distinct binding modes. This dimeric formulation persists in solution, with dynamic averaging of bridging ligand environments.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
