Alane– and gallane–sulfur donor chemistry: synthesis of AlH3·NMe(CH2CH2)2S, {AlH2[µ-N(CH2CH2)2S]}2and MH(SCH2CH2NEt2)2(M = Al or Ga)
摘要:
Reaction of N-methylthiomorpholine hydroiodide with LiAlH4 in OEt(2) yielded the Lewis-base adduct of alane, AlH3 . NMe(CH2CH2)(2)S 1, which is monomeric in benzene as the N-donor species. Thiomorpholine with H3Al . NMe(3) also in OEt(2) afforded the metallated species {AlH2[mu-N(CH2CH2)(2)S]}(2) 2; in the solid-state dimers arising from bridging amido centres are weakly associated via intermolecular Al ... S interactions at 3.22(3) Angstrom. Treatment of 2-diethylaminoethanethiol hydrochloride with LiMH(4) (M = Al or Ga) in OEt(2) or tetrahydrofuran generated the five-co-ordinate species MH(SCH(2)CH(2)NEt(2))(2) (M = Al 3 or Ga 4), authenticated by X-ray crystallography as isostructural, chiral five-co-ordinate species in the solid, the N-donor groups occupying apical positions of trigonal-bipyramidal metal centres.
