Closed-shell ion pairs: Cation and aggregate dynamics of tetraalkylammonium salts in a ion-pairing solvent

Tetrabutylammonium ion (1) forms tight ion pairs with small anions (Cl-, BH4-) in GDCl3 solution. These ion pairs aggregate as a response to increasing solution concentration with little temperature dependence. Maximum aggregate size is approximately four ion pairs, as measured by comparing self-diffusion coefficients of the aggregates with that of an internal nonaggregating standard of the same shape and nominal size, tetrabutylsilane (2). The magnitudes of steady state interionic 1H{1H} NOEs observed between 1 and the BH4- anion in CDCl3 as a function of temperature in solutions of fixed concentration are well fit to the standard theoretical expression by assuming a single aggregate size that is independent of temperature. A simplified model-free analysis was applied to steady state 15N{1H} NOE and 15N T1 measured at several magnetic field strengths, using 15N-labeled 1 to obtain estimates for reorientational correlation times for the ion aggregates. A similar analysis of 13C{1H} NOE and 13C T1 gives local effective correlation times for C-H bond vectors of the 1-CH2 carbon of 1 and order parameters relating the local motion to overall cation motion. Comparison of these correlation times with those obtained from analysis of 29Si{1H} NOE, 13C{1H} NOE, and 13C T1 for silane 2 provides an estimate of aggregate size which is independent of that obtained by diffusion, with good agreement between the different approaches.

IR Spectra of n-Bu4M (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), n-BuAuPPh3-d15, and "n-Bu" on a Gold Surface

Observed and DFT-calculated IR spectra of n-Bu4M (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), (CH3CH2CH213CD2)4Sn, and n-BuAuPPh3-d15 are reported and assigned. The asymmetric CH stretching vibration of the CH2 group adjacent to the metal atom appears as a distinct shoulder at ～2934 cm-1, whereas for other CH2 groups it is located at ～2922 cm-1. The characteristic peak at ～2899 cm-1 is attributed to an overtone of a symmetric CH2 bend at ～1445 cm-1. In n-BuAuPPh3-d15, the CH stretching vibrations of the butyl group are shifted to lower frequencies by ～10 cm-1, and two possible rationalizations are offered.

Pentacoordinate silicon compounds. Reactions of silatranes with nucleophiles

The reactions of hydro, organyl and halosilatranes with nucleophiles have been studied.Substitution involving cleavage of equatorial Si-O bonds is always observed.Silitranes exhibit reactivity quite different from that of analogous trialkoxysilanes or anionic pentacoordinate silicon compounds.
