[W6S8] Octahedral Tungsten Clusters Functionalized with Thiophene Derivatives: toward Polymerizable Building Blocks
摘要:
The functionalization of octahedral [W6S8] Clusters with a family of phosphino-thiophene ligands has been investigated with the goal of synthesizing extended networks of [W6S8] units covalently linked to one another through thiophene-conjugated bridges. In addition to new phosphino-thiophene ligands, eight clusters were synthesized and characterized by H-1 and P-31 NMR spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and UV-vis absorption. These clusters are formulated [W6S8(T-PPh2)(6)] (1a), [W6S8(T-PEt2)(6)] (1b), [W6S8(2T-PPh2)(6)] (2a), [W6S8(2T-PEt2)(6)] (2b), [W6S8(3T-PPh2)(6)] (3a), [W(6)s(8)(3T-PEt2)(6)] (3b), [W6S8((2T)(3)P)(6)] (4), and [W6S8(2EDOT-PEt2)(6)] (5) (T = thiophene and EDOT = 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The molecular structure of six of them has been obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All of them crystallize in the P (1) over bar triclinic space group except 3b, which has the P2(1)/c monoclinic symmetry. The redox behavior of both the ligands and the corresponding functionalized clusters has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. An attempt to electropolymerize these species is also reported.
3D-conjugated systems based on oligothiophene segments grafted on a phosphorus or on a phosphine oxide node have been synthesized. Under Stille coupling conditions, bromide terminated thienyl phosphine derivatives undergo a breaking of the phosphorus–carbon bond attributed to a ligand exchange with the Pd catalyst. The electronic properties of the new compounds have been analyzed by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
