Exploring the reactivity of homoleptic organozincs towards SO₂: synthesis and structure of a homologous series of organozinc sulfinates

Abstract

Studies on the reactivity of zinc alkyl compounds towards SO2 are relatively less explored than either the oxygenation or hydrolysis reactions. We report on environmentally friendly and efficient syntheses of...

Isolation of C1 through C4 derivatives from CO using heteroleptic uranium(iii) metallocene aryloxide complexes

“…92 However, the U1-O bond distances are 2.486 (8) 94 and nearly identical to that observed in sulnates formed by SO 2 insertion into Zn-C bonds. 95,96 From these metric parameters, we conclude that the two chelates to each uranium are both fully delocalized, like the coordination of an oxalate dianion. 97 The formation of complex 9 from complex 4 (Fig.…”

“…Furthermore, the S–O bond of 1.551(9) Å is in between the 1.634(1) Å and 1.476(1) Å observed in t Bu 2 P(=O)–S(=O)–O–B(N i Pr 2 ) 2 , 94 and nearly identical to that observed in sulfinates formed by SO 2 insertion into Zn–C bonds. 95,96 From these metric parameters, we conclude that the two chelates to each uranium are both fully delocalized, like the coordination of an oxalate dianion. 97…”
