Popis: | Reaction of 2,6-diphenylphenol (HOC6H3Ph2-2,6) with nBuLi, NaH, KH, or Rb or Cs metal in benzene gives the solvent-free complexes [M(OAr)]x in excellent yield. The complex [Rb(OC6H3Ph2-2,6)]x exhibits a ladderlike structure in the solid state with triply bridging oxygen atoms and Rb−O distances of 2.743(3), 2.930(2), and 2.973(2) A. The Rb cations interact with the π-electron cloud of the arene moieties, giving rise to a high Rb coordination number. The cesium-containing congener forms a layered, columnlike structure consisting of [Cs2(μ2-OAr)2] units, with nearly identical Cs−O distances of 2.945(2) and 2.947(2) A. The individual layers are held together solely by Cs−arene π-interactions. |
