The latter are usually coordinated by carboxylate and water, but additional interactions with sulfur donors are also relevant in some cases.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"40 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This novel synthetic method is conducted under mild conditions, representing a significant advantage in the field concerned. The synthesized 1,2‐dihydrodigermene was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. In the 1H NMR spectrum, the Ge–H unit was found to be less electronically affected from the substituents compared to that of the previously reported 1,2‐dihydrodigermene. Moreover, the UV/vis spectra at various temperatures indicated the formation of the isomeric (dihydrogermyl)germylene. In fact, the 1,2‐dihydrodigermene once isolated reacted with DMAP in solution to afford the corresponding complex of the (dihydrogermyl)germylene.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"118 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both isomers were characterized using multinuclear NMR and UV spectroscopies and were compared based on these data, together with DFT calculations. Remarkably, we found that both isomers of 3 showcase redshifted UV maxima when compared with other known cyclosilanes. To explain this, the theoretical calculations show that the transitions involved in the excited states of trans‐3 and cis‐3 have, in addition to the expected σ conjugation component of the Si6 ring, significant π contributions of phenyl substituents. The results presented herein show the effect of the substituent’s electronic properties regarding reactivity of intermediates, reaction yield, identity, and electronic properties of novel silicon‐containing molecules.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141885977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
