We report the direct synthesis of the terminal pnictidenes [An(Tren )(PnH)][M(2,2,2-cryptand)] (Tren ={N(CH CH NSiCy ) } ; An/Pn/M=Th/P/Na 5, Th/As/K 6, U/P/Na 7, U/As/K 8) and their conversion to the pnictides [An(Tren )(PnH )] (An/Pn=Th/P 9, Th/As 10, U/P 11, U/As 12). Use of the super-bulky Tren ligand was essential to accessing complete families, and 6 is an unprecedented example of a terminal thorium-arsinidene complex and only the second structurally authenticated parent terminal arsinidene complex of any metal. Comparison of the terminal Th=AsH unit of 6 to the bridging ThAs(H)K linkage in structurally analogous [Th(Tren ){μ-As(H)K(15-crown-5)}] (Tren ={N(CH CH NSiPr ) } ) reveals a stronger Th-As bond in the former compared to the latter, and a large response overall to the nature of the Th=AsH bonding upon removal of the electrostatically-bound K-ion; the σ-bond changes little but the π-bond is significantly perturbed.
我们报道了末端磷族元素烯[An(Tren)(PnH)][M(2,2,2-穴醚)](Tren ={N(CH₂CH₂NSiCy₃)₃};An/Pn/M = Th/P/Na 5、Th/As/K 6、U/P/Na 7、U/As/K 8)的直接合成及其向磷族化物[An(Tren)(Pn)](An/Pn = Th/P 9、Th/As 10、U/P 11、U/As 12)的转化。使用超大位阻的Tren配体对于获得完整的系列化合物至关重要,并且6是末端钍-亚砷烯配合物的一个前所未有的例子,也是任何金属的第二个经结构验证的母体末端亚砷烯配合物。将6的末端Th=AsH单元与结构类似的[Th(Tren){μ-As(H)K(15-冠醚-5)}](Tren ={N(CH₂CH₂NSiPr₃)₃})中的桥连ThAs(H)K键进行比较,结果表明前者中的Th-As键比后者更强,并且在去除静电结合的K离子后,总体上对Th=AsH键的性质有很大的响应;σ键变化不大,但π键受到显著扰动。
