Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IV Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Lithium [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DMELithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME [3] and tellurium react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give colourless lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME (1). An X-ray structure determination {-150 · 3·C; P21/c; a = 1346.6(4); b = 1497.0(4); c = 1274.5(3) pm; β = 99.22(2)·; Z = 2 dimers; R = 0.030} shows the compound to be dimeric forming a planar Li—Te—Li—Te ring with two tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents in a trans position. Three-coordinate tellurium is bound to the central silicon of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group and to two lithium atoms; the two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium are occupied by the chelate ligand DME {Li—Te 278 and 284; Si—Te 250; Li—O 200 pm (2X); Te—Li—Te 105°; Li—Te—Li 75°; O—Li—O 84°}. The covalent radius of 154 pm as determined for the DME-complexed lithium in tellanide 1 is within the range of 155 ± 3 pm, also characteristic for similar compounds. In typical reactions of the tellanide 1 [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane (2), methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane (4) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane (5) are formed.
Notes:
Lithium-tris(trimethylsilyl)silanid · 1,5 DME [3] reagiert mit Tellur in 1,2-Dimethoxyethan zu farblosem Lithium-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyi]tellanid · DME (1). Nach der Röntgenstrukturanalyse {-150 ± 3°C; P21/c; a = 1346,6(4); b = 1497,0(4); c = 1274,5(3) pm; β = 99,22(2)°; Z = 2 Dimere; R = 0,030} ist Verbindung 1 im Festkörper dimer; die beiden Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl-Gruppen sind am planaren Li—Te—Li—Te-Ring trans-ständig zueinander angeordnet. Tellur erreicht durch Bindung an zwei Lithium und ein Silicium die Koordinationszahl 3, Lithium durch Bindung an zwei Tellur und den Chelatliganden DME die Koordinationszahl 4 {Li—Te 278 und 284; Si—Te 250; Li—O 200 pm (2X); Te—Li—Te 105°, Li—Te—Li 75°; O—Li—O 84°}. Der hier zu 154 pm ermittelte kovalente Radius des DME-komplexierten Lithiumatoms fällt in den auch für andere Verbindungen typischen Bereich von 155 ± 3 pm. Charakteristische Umsetzungen des Tellanids 1 führen zu [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellan (2), Methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellan (4) und Bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellan (5).
