The synthesis, structural characterization, and acid-base chemistry of [C(SiMe2OCH2CH2OMe)3]Na (2), a sterically encumbered zwitterionic organosodium compound, is reported. 2 is a strong Brønsted base that forms frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) with a number of boron-containing Lewis acids ranging from weakly Lewis acidic aryl and alkyl boranes to various alkyl borates. These intermolecular FLPs readily cleave H2, which confirms that even poor Lewis acids can engage in FLP-mediated H2 cleavage provided that the present bulky base is of sufficiently high Brønsted basicity.

The metal-catalyzed Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction allows for the mild and sustainable reduction of aldehydes and ketones but has not found widespread application in organic synthesis due to the high catalyst loading often required to obtain satisfactory yields of the reduced product. We report here on the synthesis and structure of a sterically extremely overloaded siloxide-supported aluminum isopropoxide capable of catalytically reducing a wide range of aldehydes and ketones (52 examples) in excellent yields under mild conditions and with low catalyst loadings. The unseen activity of the developed catalyst system in MPV reductions is due to its unique monomeric nature and the neutral donor isopropanol weakly coordinating to the aluminum center. The present work implies that monomeric aluminum alkoxide catalysts may be attractive alternatives to transition-metal-based systems for the selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to primary and secondary alcohols.

The synthesis and structures of the first zwitterionic divalent rare-earth metal silanides of the formula [Si(SiMe2OMe)3-κ(3)]2M (M-3), where M = Eu, Yb, and Sm, are reported. M-3 compounds feature spirocyclic bicyclooctane structures in which the central rare-earth metal ions are being octahedrally coordinated by six methoxy groups. The reaction of Yb-3 with BPh3 and W(CO)6 respectively generated the trinuclear zwitterions [Ph3BSi(SiMe2OMe)3-κ(3)]2Yb (Yb-4) and [(CO)5WSi(SiMe2OMe)3-κ(3)]2Yb (Yb-5) in good yield.

The novel double-cored oligosilane dendrimers {[Me(Me3Si)2Si-Me2Si]2SiMe-SiMe2}2 (4) and {[Me(Me3Si)2Si-Me2Si]2SiMe}2 (5) have been shown to display unusual UV absorption behaviour as a function of conformation and steric interaction in the longest oligosilane chains.

A series of mono- and binuclear Lewis acid-base complexes of the formulas N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3P→LA [LA = BH3 (8), Ga(C6F5)3 (10), GaCl3 (11)], LA←N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3P [LA = Al(C6F5)3 (6a), AlMe3 (6b), AlEt3 (6c), AlBui3 (6d), BF3 (13)], and LA←N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3P→LA [Lewis acid (LA) = Al(C6F5)3 (7a), AlMe3 (7b), AlEt3 (7c), AlBui3 (7d), AlCl3 (7e), BH3 (9)] were generated from reactions of Verkades base, N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3P (1), with various boron-, aluminum-, and gallium-containing Lewis acids, and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. {N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3P→C7H7}[BF4] (5) was synthesized via the treatment of 1 with [C7H7][BF4]. The reaction of 1 with B(C6F5)3, followed by the addition of [Ph3C]2[B12Cl12], gave rise to the rearranged borate salt [PN4C9H17(Pri)2][B12Cl12] (3), while treating 1 with [Ph3C]2[B12Cl12] exclusively afforded {N[CH2CH2N(Pri)]3PH}2[B12Cl12] (4). Reactions of 1 with 2 equiv of GaCl3 and BF3, respectively, afforded the novel phosphenium gallate and borate salts 12a, 12b, and 15. The solid-state structures of 1, 3-5, 6b, 7a, 7b, 7e, 8, 10, 11, 12b, 13, and 15 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
