Despite the notable progress in the stabilization of main group radicals by NHCs and cAACs, no germanium radicals have been isolated so far due to synthetic challenges. Stabilization of neutral [:ER] (E = Si, Ge) radicals is an uphill task, as these reactive transient species are highly susceptible to dimerization. Herein, we report the synthesis of acyclic neutral germanium(I) radicals Cy-cAAC:GeN(SiMe)Dip (1) and Me-cAAC:GeN(SiPh)Mes (2) obtained by the reduction of [Ar(SiR)NGeCl] with KC in the presence of cAAC. Compounds 1 and 2 are well characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and EPR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the structure and bonding of compounds 1 and 2 have been investigated by theoretical methods.
尽管氮杂环卡宾(NHCs)和环状(烷基)(氨基)卡宾(cAACs)在稳定主族自由基方面取得了显著进展,但由于合成方面的挑战,到目前为止尚未分离出锗自由基。稳定中性[:ER](E = Si,Ge)自由基是一项艰巨的任务,因为这些反应性瞬态物种极易二聚。在此,我们报告了通过在cAAC存在下用KC还原[Ar(SiR)NGeCl]得到的无环中性锗(I)自由基Cy-cAAC:GeN(SiMe)Dip(1)和Me-cAAC:GeN(SiPh)Mes(2)的合成。化合物1和2通过单晶X射线结构分析、循环伏安法和电子顺磁共振光谱进行了充分表征。此外,还通过理论方法研究了化合物1和2的结构与键合。
