Tetraphenylmethane and tetraphenylsilane as building units of coordination polymers and supramolecular networks – A focus on tetraphosphonates

摘要: Abstract In this work are explored opportunities for supramolecular and coordination chemistry that arise from a combination of phosphonic functional group with tetrahedrally-shaped aromatic units: tetraphenylmethane (TPM) tetraphenylsilane (TPSi). To provide complete overview TPM TPSi-based tetraphosphonate materials, paper has been divided into three distinct parts. the first part brought together evaluated most convenient synthetic methods can be employed preparation TPSi scaffolds their corresponding tetrabromo derivatives (TPM-Br4 TPSi-Br4). Further, possible routes to tetrakis(4-phosphonophenyl)methane (TPPM) tetrakis(4-phosphonophenyl)silane (TPPSi) discussed, particular attention being paid palladium nickel-catalyzed phosphonylation reactions. The second literature survey is devoted useful functionalities metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) polymers (CPs) based on TPPM TPPSi. This starts description various crystal engineering approaches towards porous metal phosphonates – rare class materials combines gas sorption property exceptional thermal chemical resistance. Next, copper(II) zirconium constructed TPPSi highlighted as robust heterogenous catalysts cycloaddition carbon dioxide epoxides epoxide ring-opening TPPM-based diester CPs cobalt(II) ions have investigated in terms nonlinear optical properties, serving models studies spectrally-resolved harmonic generation (SHG) third (THG). third, final overviewed efforts several research groups elucidation solid-state assembly tectons. Here, emphasis placed packing preferences, hydrogen bonding, Hirshfeld surface properties phenyl embrace interactions.
