The direct double carbenylation of 1,4-diiodobenzene and 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl with a classical N-heterocyclic carbene, SIPr () (SIPr = :C{(2,6-iPrCH)}CHCH), by means of nickel catalysis gives rise to 1,3-imidazolinium salts (SIPr)(CH)(SIPr) () and (SIPr)(CH)(SIPr) () as off-white solids. Two-electron reduction of and with KC cleanly yields Kekulé diradicaloid compounds [(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr)] () and [(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr)] (), respectively, as crystalline solids. Structural parameters and DFT as well as CASSCF calculations suggest the closed-shell singlet ground state for and . Calculations reveal a very low singlet-triplet energy gap Δ for (10.7 kcal mol), while Δ for (29.1 kcal mol) is rather large.
通过镍催化,使1,4 - 二碘苯和4,4'-二溴联苯与经典的N - 杂环卡宾SIPr(SIPr = :C{(2,6 - iPr₂C₆H₃)}CHCH)直接进行双羰基化反应,生成灰白色固体的1,3 - 咪唑鎓盐(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr) ()和(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr) ()。用KC对 和 进行双电子还原,分别得到结晶固体的凯库勒双自由基化合物[(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr)] ()和[(SIPr)(CH)(SIPr)] ()。结构参数、密度泛函理论(DFT)以及完全活性空间自洽场(CASSCF)计算表明, 和 具有闭壳层单重态基态。计算结果显示, 的单重态 - 三重态能隙Δ非常小(10.7 kcal mol),而 的Δ(29.1 kcal mol)相当大。
