Solution structures of alkali metal cyclopentadienides in THF estimated by ECC-DOSY NMR-spectroscopy (incl. software)

Abstract: In this paper we present the aggregational motifs of the widely used alkali-metal cyclopentadienides (CpLi, CpNa, CpK, CpRb, CpCs) in THF-d solution estimated by ECC-DOSY NMR spectroscopy. They form monomeric contact ion pairs (CIPs) in THF-d solution, whereas in NH solvent-separated ion pairs (SSIPs) are observed. The applicability of ECC-DOSY is further advanced by introducing ECC-MW estimation software.

“…1 H DOSY NMR measurements on 5 in [D 8 ]toluene, [D 8 ]THF, or a [D 8 ]toluene/3,3‐dimethyl‐1,2‐butylene oxide mixture revealed distinct diffusion coefficients (see Figures S17–S20) for the solvents employed and only one additional peak corresponding to a much larger species but correlating with every other signal in the proton NMR spectra. Calculation of the molar mass of this compound ([D 8 ]toluene: M r =1989 g mol −1 ; [D 8 ]THF: M r =1643 g mol −1 ; [D 8 ]toluene + 3,3‐dimethyl‐1,2‐butyleneoxide: M r =2357 g mol −1 ) as a compact sphere‐like molecule suggests it exists as a tetrametallic ( M r =2242 g mol −1 ) or a non‐monometallic species in solution. Treating [Ce(Me 2 pz) 3 (thf)] 2 with CO 2 in [D 8 ]THF gave the same NMR spectrum as that of 5⋅toluene , thus indicating the formation of a multimetallic compound also in donor solvents (see Figure S16).…”

“…The results of the 1 H-DOSYexternalc alibration curve (ECC) molecular weight( MW)e stimation [49][50][51] used to clarify the structures of 4-7 in solution are discussed in detail below.P revious studies showed that for most organometallic compounds the dissipated spheres and ellipsoids (DSE) calibration curve is the most suitable for an accurate estimation. [52] Therefore, only values from the DSE and, for comparison, from the merge calibrationc urve are considered ( Table 3).…”

“…Die Anwesenheit zweier Maxima in der Elektronendichteverteilung entlang des N Ligand ···O Wasser -Vektors zeigt dabei das Vorliegen einer Wasserstoffbrücke mit Doppelpotential an. [41][42][43] Vorangegangene Studien zeigten, dass bei Verwendung der DSE-Kalibrierungskurve ("dissipated spheres and ellipsoids") die zuverlässigsten Ergebnisse füre ine akkurate Gewichtsabschätzung der meisten organometallischen s-Block-Verbindungen erhalten werden. [36] In diesem Zusammenhang wurde bemerkenswerterweise auch über ein vermeintlich hydrolyseempfindliches Phenylen-1,4bis(trifluoroborat)-Kalium-Doppelsalz berichtet, in dem ein ebenfalls cokristallisiertes Wassermoleküld urch K···O-und OH···p-Wechselwirkungen entscheidend zur Fähigkeit der Selbstorganisation des Moleküls im Festkçrper beiträgt.…”
