The title compound, [Si(CH3)3(C14H8N)] is a TMS-protected mono-alkyne. It is used as a model species for platinum σ-acetyl­ide compounds of which it is a precursor. Such compounds are of interest due to the extended π-conjugation through the hetero-aromatic linker unit in the backbone.

Comment top

In this paper, we report the structural characterization of the title compound, (I), which is a TMS-protected mono-alkyne and a precursor of the mononuclear platinum(II) di-yne species, trans-[Pt(PnBu3)2(—C CR)2] (R = carbazol-3-yl). Such platinum-containing species form the building blocks for rigid-rod orgnaometallic poly-ynes of general formula trans-[Pt(PnBu3)2—CC—R—CC—] (R = aromatic or heteroaromatic linker unit). Platinum poly-ynes are of immense current interest due to π-electron conjugation along the backbone, novel donor-acceptor interactions between the metal centres and the conjugated ligands and the unique photophysical properties arising from the large spin-orbit coupling (Wittmann et al., 1994; Beljonne et al., 1996; Younus et al., 1998; Chawdhury et al., 1998, 1999; Wilson et al., 2000, 2001; Khan, Al-Mandhary, Al-Suti, Feeder et al., 2002; Khan, Al-Mandhary, Al-Suti, Hisahm et al., 2002; Khan, Al-Mandhary, Al-Suti, Ahrens et al., 2003; Khan, Al-Mandhary, Al-Suti, Corcoran et al., 2003; Khan, Al-Suti et al., 2003). Precursors to these species, such as the title compound, are studied as models of the molecular and electronic properties and structurep-property relationships in the metal poly-ynes.

Experimental top

3-Trimethylsilylethynylcarbazole was synthesized by the following procedure. To a stirred solution of 3-bromocarbazole (2.0 g, 6.13 mmol) in iPr2NH/THF (70 ml, 1:1 v/v) under nitrogen was added a catalyst mixture of CuI (15 mg), Pd(OAc)2 (15 mg) and PPh3 (50 mg). The solution was stirred for 20 min. at 323 K and then trimethylsilylethyne (1.5 g, 15.3 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for another 20 min. The reaction temperature was then raised to 348 K and left with stirring for 20 h. The completion of the reaction was determined by silica TLC and IR spectroscopy. The solution was allowed to cool down to room temperature. The crude product was filtered to eliminate the ammonium salt and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was subjected to silica column chromatography using hexane/CH2Cl2 (1:1) as eluant to afford the target compound as a colorless solid in 77% yield.

Refinement top

Aromatic and methyl H atoms were constrained as riding atoms, fixed to the parent atoms with distances of 0.95 Å and 0.98 Å respectively. The isotropic distplacement parameters were fixed to 120% of that of the parent atom for aromatic and 150% for methyl H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
