Abstract:
The synthesis and crystal structures of 1-tris(pyrazolyl)borate beryllium halides TpBeX (X = Cl 1, Br 2, I 3, F 4), the pyrazole adduct of TpBeF (5) and of 1-tris(pyrazolyl)borate beryllium hydride, deuteride and azide TpBeX (X = H 6, (2)H (D) 7, N3 8; Tp = 1-trispyrazolylborate) is described. In addition, (9)Be-NMR spectroscopy is introduced as suitable analytical tool for the in situ characterization of heteroleptic organoberyllium halides, pseudohalides and hydrides. Studies in different solvents and solvent mixtures allowed the formulation of a reference guide for the chemical shift of heteroleptic coordination complexes of beryllium only based on variation of the second substituent.

02:36Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
