Lead analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHPbs) are the least understood members of this increasingly important class of compounds. Here we report the design, preparation, isolation, structure, volatility, and decomposition pathways of a novel aliphatic NHPb: rac-N 2,N 3-di-tert-butylbutane-2,3-diamido lead(II) (1Pb). The large steric bulk of the tert-butylamido moieties and rac-butane backbone successfully hinder redox decomposition pathways observed for diamidoethylene and -ethane backbone analogues, pushing the onset of thermal decomposition from below 0 °C to above 150 °C. With an exceptionally high vapor pressure of 1 Torr at 94 ± 2 °C and excellent thermal stability among Pb(II) complexes, 1Pb is a promising precursor for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) of functional lead-containing materials.

The thermal properties of a series of monomeric copper(I) hexamethyldisilazide complexes supported by N-heterocyclic and acyclic diamino carbenes were evaluated to study the impact of N-alkyl substituents and backbone character on volatility and thermal stability of copper amides. The series of complexes were either liquids or solids with melting points in the broad range of 45-184 °C. Vaporization rates were measured by stepped-isothermal TGA experiments and found to be between 110-170 °C. Enthalpies of vaporization were determined to be 63-90 kJ/mol. Temperatures for 1 Torr vapor pressure were estimated to be 143-172 °C, showing a general dependence on molecular weight. The imidazolylidene complexes were thermally unstable with convincing evidence indicating the unsaturated backbone as a point of weakness. The imidazolinylidene complexes showed excellent thermal stability with comparable results for the formamidinylidenes complexes. The steric parameter of the carbene, %VBur, was calculated for all complexes characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
Dicationic tellurium analogues of the classic N-heterocyclic carbene

The synthesis and comprehensive characterization of the first dicationic tellurium analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been reported, in both the +2 and +4 oxidation states. For the +2 oxidation state, a base-stabilized form of TeCl2 is used as the starting material. The dications are isolated by means of halide metathesis and the solid-state structures confirm the previously calculated diimine bonding arrangement. For TeIV, a diamine is used in a high-yielding dehydrohalogen coupling reaction from TeCl4. The dicationic NHC analogue is isolated in a base-stabilized form through halide abstraction and subsequent coordination by pyridine. Carbene analogues: Compounds based on an unsaturated diimine ligand bear two lone pairs of electrons about the central element and can be considered structural mimics of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs; see figure). Heterocycles centered about a saturated diamine carry one stereochemically active lone pair of electrons on tellurium, and are therefore isovalent as well as isostructural to NHCs.
