Popis: | The trapping of a silicon(I) radical with N-heterocyclic carbenes is described. The reaction of the cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene [cAACMe] (cAACMe=:C(CMe2)2(CH2)NAr, Ar=2,6-iPr2C6H3) with H2SiI2 in a 3:1 molar ratio in DME afforded a mixture of the separated ion pair [(cAACMe)2Si:.]+I− (1), which features a cationic cAAC–silicon(I) radical, and [cAACMe−H]+I−. In addition, the reaction of the NHC–iodosilicon(I) dimer [IAr(I)Si:]2 (IAr=:C{N(Ar)CH}2) with 4 equiv of IMe (:C{N(Me)CMe}2), which proceeded through the formation of a silicon(I) radical intermediate, afforded [(IMe)2SiH]+I− (2) comprising the first NHC–parent-silyliumylidene cation. Its further reaction with fluorobenzene afforded the CAr−H bond activation product [1-F-2-IMe-C6H4]+I− (3). The isolation of 2 and 3 confirmed the reaction mechanism for the formation of 1. Compounds 1–3 were analyzed by EPR and NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and X-ray crystallography. |
