Abstract cyclo ‐Pn ), the planarcyclo ‐P4group is unique in its requirement of two additional electrons to achieve aromaticity. These electrons are supplied from one or more metal centers. However, the degree of charge transfer is dependent on the nature of the metal fragment. Unique examples of dianionic mononuclear η4‐P4complexes are presented that can be viewed as the simple coordination of the [cyclo ‐P4]2−dianion to a neutral metal fragment. Treatment of the neutral, molybdenumcyclo ‐P4complexes Mo(η4‐P4)I2(CO)(CNArDipp2)2and Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)2(CNArDipp2)2with KC8produces the dianionic, three‐legged piano stool complexes, [Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)(CNArDipp2)2]2−and [Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)2(CNArDipp2)]2−, respectively. Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies reveal a similarity to the classic η6‐benzene complex (η6‐C6H6)Mo(CO)3regarding the metal‐center valence state and electronic population of the planar‐cyclic ligand π system. -

Abstract 2D hybrid perovskites are attractive for optoelectronic devices. In thin films, the color of optical emission and the texture of crystalline domains are often difficult to control. Here, a method for extinguishing or enhancing different emission features is demonstrated for the family of 2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (EA1−
x FAx )4Pb3Br10(EA = ethylammonium, FA = formamidinium). When grown from aqueous hydrobromic acid, crystals of (EA1−x FAx )4Pb3Br10retain all the emission features of their parent compound, (EA)4Pb3Br10. Surprisingly, when grown from dimethylformamide (DMF), an emission feature, likely self‐trapped exciton (STE), near 2.7 eV is missing. Extinction of this feature is correlated with DMF being incorporated between the 2D Pb‐Br sheets, forming (EA1−x FAx )4Pb3Br10∙(DMF)y . Without FA, films grown from DMF form (EA)4Pb3Br10, retain little solvent, and have strong emission near 2.7 eV. Slowing the kinetics of film growth strengthens a different emission feature, likely a different type of STE, which is much broader and present in all compositions. Films of (EA1−x FAx )4Pb3Br10∙(DMF)y have large, micron‐sized domains and homogeneous orientation of the semiconducting sheets, resulting in low electronic disorder near the absorption edge. The ability to selectively strengthen or extinguish different emission features in films of (EA1−x FAx )4Pb3Br10∙(DMF)y reveals a pathway to tune the emission color in these compounds. -

Abstract Photolyses of
trans ‐Fe(CO)3(P((CH2)n )3P) (n =10 (a ), 12 (b ), 14 (c ), 16 (d ), 18 (e )) in the presence of PMe3provide the first economical and scalable route to macrobicyclic dibridgehead diphosphines P((CH2)n )3P (1 ). These are isolated as mixtures ofin,in /out,out isomers that equilibrate with degeneratein,out /out,in isomers at 150 °C via pyramidal inversion at phosphorus. For the entire series, VT31P NMR data establish or boundK eq, rates, and activation parameters for a variety of phenomena, many of which involve homeomorphic isomerizations, topological processes by which certain molecules can turn themselves inside out (e. g.,in,in ⇌out,out ). This provides the first detailed mapping of such trends in homologous series of aliphatic bicyclic compounds XE((CH2)n )3EX with any type of bridgehead. Isomeric diborane adducts1 a ,d ⋅ 2BH3are also characterized. Crystal structures ofout,out ‐1 a andin,in ‐1 a ⋅ 2BH3aid isomer assignments and reveal unusual cage conformations. -

ABSTRACT Room temperature Suzuki cross‐coupling polymerization of aryl dibromides/diiodides with aryldiboronic acids/acid esters with
t ‐Bu3P‐coordinated 2‐phenylaniline‐based palladacycle complex, [2′‐(amino‐kN)[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐2‐yl‐kC]chloro(tri‐t‐butylphosphine)palladium, as a general precatalyst is described. Such room temperature Suzuki cross‐coupling polymerization is achieved by employing six equivalents or more of the base and affords polymers within an hour, with the yields and the molecular weights in general comparable to or higher than reported results that required higher reaction temperature and/or longer polymerization time. Our study provides a general catalyst system for the room temperature Suzuki cross‐coupling polymerization of aryl dibromides/diiodides with aryldiboronic acids/acid esters and paves the road for the investigation of employing other monodentate ligand‐coordinated palladacycle complexes including other electron‐rich monophosphine‐coordinated ones for room temperature cross‐coupling polymerizations. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
