Thermally sensitive polymeric zinc dihydride [ZnH2]n can conveniently be prepared by the reaction of ZnEt2 with [AlH3(NEt3)]. When reacted with CO2 (1 bar) in the presence of chelating N-donor ligands Ln = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMPDA), N,N,N′,N″,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA), and 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Me4TACD), insertion into the Zn-H bond readily occurred. Depending on the denticity n, formates [(Ln)Zn(OCHO)2] were isolated and structurally characterized, either as a molecule (Ln = TMEDA, TMPDA, PMDTA) or a charge-separated ion pair [(Ln)Zn(OCHO)][OCHO] (Ln = Me4TACD). The reaction of [ZnH2]n with the mild Lewis acid BPh3 in the presence of chelating N-donor ligands Ln gave a series of hydridotriphenylborates, either as a contact ion pair [(L2)Zn(H)(HBPh3)] (L2 = TMEDA, TMPDA) or a separated ion pair [(Ln)Zn(H)][HBPh3] (Ln = PMDTA, Me4TACD). In the crystal, the contact ion pair [(TMEDA)Zn(H)(HBPh3)] showed a bent Zn-H-B bridge indicative of a delocalized Zn-H-B interaction. In contrast, a linear Zn-H-B bridge for [(TMPDA)Zn(H)(HBPh3)] was observed, suggesting a contact ion pair. In THF solution, both complexes show an exchange with free BPh3 as well as [HBPh3]-. DFT calculations suggest the presence of [HBPh3]- anion with a highly polarized B-H bond that interacts with the Lewis acidic zinc hydride cation [(L2)Zn(H)]+. The hydridotriphenylborates [(Ln)Zn(H)(HBPh3)] underwent CO2 insertion to give (formato)zinc (formoxy)triphenylborate complexes [(Ln)Zn(OCHO)][(OCHO)BPh3] (Ln = TMPDA, PMDTA, Me4TACD). For Ln = TMEDA, a dinuclear complex [(Ln)2Zn2(μ-OCHO)3][(OCHO)BPh3] was isolated. Hydridotriphenylborates [(Ln)Zn(H)(HBPh3)] catalyzed the hydrosilylation of CO2 (1 bar) by nBuMe2SiH in THF at 70 °C to give formoxysilane and (methoxy)silane.
Structurally diverse coordination compounds of zinc as effective precursors of zinc oxide nanoparticles with various morphologies

, (2019/04/01)
The structurally diverse coordination compounds of zinc were designed and synthesized using two types of building blocks: short-chain carboxylate ions and hexamethylenetetraamine. They were characterized by X-ray crystallography, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The studied compounds were used as precursors for production (via controlled thermal conversion) of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The conversion process was optimized in terms of two parameters (heating rate and maximum temperature). Such an approach, combined with proper design of the precursor structure, allows fabrication of various zinc oxide micro- and nanoparticles. The influence of a precursor structure and modifications of conversion parameters on size and morphology of ZnO particles were studied and discussed.
