- ItemCrystal structures of two ansa-titanocene tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate complexes bearing the Me2Si(C5Me4)2 ligand(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2016) Kessler, Monty; Godemann, Christian; Spannenberg, Anke; Beweries, TorstenThe crystal structures of two ansa-titanocene tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate complexes bearing the Me2Si(C5Me4)2 ligand are reported, namely [di-methylbis-(η5-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)silane](tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonato-κ2O,O')titanium(III) toluene monosolvate, [Ti(CF3O3S)(C20H30Si)]·C7H8, 1, and chlorido-[di-methyl-bis-(η5-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)silane](tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonato-κO)titanium(IV), [Ti(CF3O3S)(C20H30Si)Cl], 2. Both complexes display a bent metallocene unit, the metal atom being coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, with the tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate anion acting as a bidentate or monodentate ligand in 1 and 2, respectively. In 1, weak π-π stacking inter-actions involving the toluene solvent mol-ecules [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.9491 (11) Å] are observed.
- ItemCrystal structure of 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl)disilane(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Godemann,Christian; Spannenberg, Anke; Beweries, TorstenThe molecular structure of the title compound, C22H38Si2, features a trans arrangement of the cyclopentadienyl rings to avoid steric strain [C-Si-Si-C torsion angle = -179.0 (5)°]. The Si-Si bond length is 2.3444 (4) Å. The most notable intermolecular interactions in the molecular packing are C-H...[pi] contacts that lead to the formation of wave-like supramolecular chains along the b axis.
- ItemSynthesis and crystallographic characterization of [2,2-bis(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-zirconafuran-5-one-κO5]triisobutylaluminium(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2018-3-27) Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Bogdanov, Vyacheslav S.; Arndt, Perdita; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, Uwe; Beweries, Torsten; Shur, Vladimir B.The crystal structure of the title zwitterionic zirconocene complex containing a furanone unit, [AlZr(C10H15)2(C4H9)3(C9H18O2Si2)], is reported. On reacting a zirconafuranone with two equivalents of HAl(i-Bu)2, disproportionation of the Lewis acid results in the formation of a triisobutylaluminium fragment, Al(i-Bu)3, which coordinates to the exocyclic carbonyl O atom of the zirconafuranone ring. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the zirconafuranone ring remains intact with coordination of the aluminium to the exocyclic O atom. One of the i-butyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.731 (3):0.269 (3).
- ItemCrystal structure of 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Godemann,Christian; Spannenberg, Anke; Beweries, TorstenIn the cation of the title salt, C9H20NO+·CF3O3S-, the six-membered heterocyclic ring displays a chair conformation. In the crystal, centrosymmetric pairs of cations and anions are linked by N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds to form rings with a R44(14) graph-set motif.
- ItemDehydropolymerisation of Methylamine Borane and an N-Substituted Primary Amine Borane Using a PNP Fe Catalyst(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Anke, Felix; Boye, Susanne; Spannenberg, Anke; Lederer, Albena; Heller, Detlef; Beweries, TorstenDehydropolymerisation of methylamine borane (H3B⋅NMeH2) using the well-known iron amido complex [(PNP)Fe(H)(CO)] (PNP=N(CH2CH2PiPr2)2) (1) gives poly(aminoborane)s by a chain-growth mechanism. In toluene, rapid dehydrogenation of H3B⋅NMeH2 following first-order behaviour as a limiting case of a more general underlying Michaelis–Menten kinetics is observed, forming aminoborane H2B=NMeH, which selectively couples to give high-molecular-weight poly(aminoborane)s (H2BNMeH)n and only traces of borazine (HBNMe)3 by depolymerisation after full conversion. Based on a series of comparative experiments using structurally related Fe catalysts and dimethylamine borane (H3B⋅NMe2H) polymer formation is proposed to occur by nucleophilic chain growth as reported earlier computationally and experimentally. A silyl functionalised primary borane H3B⋅N(CH2SiMe3)H2 was studied in homo- and co-dehydropolymerisation reactions to give the first examples for Si containing poly(aminoborane)s. © 2020 The Authors.

- ItemA Comparative Study on the Thermodynamics of Halogen Bonding of Group 10 Pincer Fluoride Complexes(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2019) Joksch, Markus; Agarwala, Hemlata; Ferro, Monica; Michalik, Dirk; Spannenberg, Anke; Beweries, TorstenThe thermodynamics of halogen bonding of a series of isostructural Group 10 metal pincer fluoride complexes of the type [(3,5-R2-tBuPOCOPtBu)MF] (3,5-R2-tBuPOCOPtBu=κ3-C6HR2-2,6-(OPtBu2)2 with R=H, tBu, COOMe; M=Ni, Pd, Pt) and iodopentafluorobenzene was investigated. Based on NMR experiments at different temperatures, all complexes 1-tBu (R=tBu, M=Ni), 2-H (R=H, M=Pd), 2-tBu (R=tBu, M=Pd), 2-COOMe (R=COOMe, M=Pd) and 3-tBu (R=tBu, M=Pt) form strong halogen bonds with Pd complexes showing significantly stronger binding to iodopentafluorobenzene. Structural and computational analysis of a model adduct of complex 2-tBu with 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene as well as of structures of iodopentafluorobenzene in toluene solution shows that formation of a type I contact occurs. © 2019 The Authors.

- Item1-Titanacyclobuta-2,3-diene-an elusive four-membered cyclic allene(Cambridge : RSC, 2019) Reiß, Fabian; Reiß, Melanie; Bresien, Jonas; Spannenberg, Anke; Jiao, Haijun; Baumann, Wolfgang; Arndt, Perdita; Beweries, TorstenThe synthesis of an unusual 1-metalla-2,3-cyclobutadiene complex [rac-(ebthi)Ti(Me3SiC3SiMe3)] (rac-ebthi = rac-1,2-ethylene-1,1′-bis(η5-tetrahydroindenyl)), a formal metallacyclic analogue of a non-existent four-membered 1,2-cyclobutadiene, is described. By variation of the cyclopentadienyl ligand of the titanocene precursor it was possible to stabilise this highly exotic compound which selectively reacts with ketones and aldehydes to yield enynes by oxygen transfer to titanium. Analysis of the bonding and electronic structure of the metallacycle shows that the complex is best described as an unusual antiferromagnetically coupled biradicaloid system, possessing a formal Ti(iii) centre coordinated with a monoanionic radical ligand. © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
