- ItemCrystal structure of diethyl (E)-2-[(benzofuran-2-yl)methylidene]succinate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Schirmer, Marie-Luis; Spannenberg, Anke; Werner, ThomasThe title compound, C17H18O5, was synthesized by a base-free catalytic Wittig reaction. The molecule consists of a diethyl itaconate unit, which is connected via the C=C double bond to a benzofuran moiety. The benzofuran ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) forms dihedral angles of 79.58 (4) and 12.12 (10)° with the mean planes through the cis and trans ethoxycarbonyl groups, respectively. An intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bond involving the O atom of the benzofuran moiety is observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked into ribbons running parallel to the b axis by C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
- ItemCrystal structure of bis{μ2-[(2-iminocyclopentylidene)methylidene]azanido-κ2 N:N'}bis[(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV)] hexane monosolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Becker, Lisanne; Spannenberg, Anke; Arndt, Perdita; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, [Zr2(C10H15)4(C6H6N2)2]·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of adiponitrile with [Zr(C10H15)2([eta]2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)]. Intramolecular nitrile-nitrile couplings and deprotonation of the substrate produced the (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane ligand, which functions as a five-membered bridge between the two metal atoms. The ZrIV atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere defined by two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands, by the imino unit of one (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane and by the enimino unit of the second (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane. The cyclopentane ring of the ligand shows an envelope conformation. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex and one half of the hexane solvent molecule, both being completed by the application of inversion symmetry. One of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.8111 (3):0.189 (3). In the crystal, the complex molecules are packed into rods extending along [100], with the solvent molecules located in between. The rods are arranged in a distorted hexagonal packing.
- 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.
- ItemTetracarbonyl-2κ4C-[μ-5-methyl-1,1,3-triphenyl-2-(propan-2-yl)-2,4-diaza-1,3-diphosphahexan-4-ido-1κN4:2κP1,P3](N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine-1κ2N,N′)lithiummolybdenum(Chester : IUCr, 2018) Höhne, Martha; Spannenberg, Anke; Müller, Bernd H.; Peulecke, Normen; Rosenthal, UweThe title complex, [LiMo(C6H16N2)(C24H29N2P2)(CO)4], contains a distorted octahedrally coordinated molybdenum centre bearing a lithiated P,P′-cis-chelating PNPN ligand, which results in a nearly planar four-membered metallacycle. The Li atom is coordinated by one equivalent tetramethylethylenediamine. In the crystal, molecules are linked via weak C—H...O interactions, forming a chain along the b-axis direction.
- ItemHomogeneous cobalt-catalyzed reductive amination for synthesis of functionalized primary amines([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2019) Murugesan, Kathiravan; Wei, Zhihong; Chandrashekhar, Vishwas G.; Neumann, Helfried; Spannenberg, Anke; Jiao, Haijun; Beller, Matthias; Jagadeesh, Rajenahally V.The development of earth abundant 3d metal-based catalysts continues to be an important goal of chemical research. In particular, the design of base metal complexes for reductive amination to produce primary amines remains as challenging. Here, we report the combination of cobalt and linear-triphos (bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine) as the molecularly-defined non-noble metal catalyst for the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds, gaseous ammonia and hydrogen in good to excellent yields. Noteworthy, this cobalt catalyst exhibits high selectivity and as a result the -NH2 moiety is introduced in functionalized and structurally diverse molecules. An inner-sphere mechanism on the basis of the mono-cationic [triphos-CoH]+ complex as active catalyst is proposed and supported with density functional theory computation on the doublet state potential free energy surface and H2 metathesis is found as the rate-determining step.
- ItemTetracarbonyl[N-(diphenylphosphanyl-κP)-N,N′-diisopropyl-P-phenylphosphorus diamide-κP]molybdenum(0) with an unknown solvent(Chester : IUCr, 2018) Höhne, Martha; Gongoll, Marc; Spannenberg, Anke; Müller, Bernd H.; Peulecke, Normen; Rosenthal, UweThe title complex, [Mo(C24H30N2P2)(CO)4], contains a molybdenum centre bearing a P,P′-cis-chelating Ph2PN(iPr)P(Ph)NH(iPr) and four carbonyl ligands in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. This results in a nearly planar four-membered metallacycle. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to the ac plane. For the final refinement, the contributions of disordered solvent molecules were removed from the diffraction data with SQUEEZE in PLATON [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unknown solvent molecule(s).
- Item3,3′-Dimethyl-1,1′-methylenediimidazolium tetrabromidocobaltate(II)(Chester : IUCr, 2018) Peppel, Tim; Spannenberg, AnkeThe title compound, (C9H14N4)[CoBr4], was obtained as single crystals directly in very low yield as a side product in the reaction of 1,1′-bis(1-methylimidazolium)acetate bromide and CoBr2. The title compound consists of an imidazolium-based dication and a tetrabromidocobaltate(II) complex anion, which are connected via C—H...Br interactions in the crystal. The dihedral angle between the imidazolium rings in the cation is 72.89 (16)°. The CoII ion in the anion is coordinated tetrahedrally by four bromide ligands [Co—Br = 2.4025 (5)–2.4091 (5) Å and Br—Co—Br = 106.224 (17)–113.893 (17)°]. The compound exhibits a high melting point (>300°C) and is a light-blue solid under ambient conditions.
