Abstract
Title full: The stabilisation of water as a ligand in lithiated organic compounds: intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in the structures of the aquo complexes [C6H4OC({partial double bond, bottom dashed}S){partial double bond, bottom dashed}NLi·HMPA·H2O]2 and [C6H4OC({partial double bond, bottom dashed}S){partial double bond, bottom dashed}NLi·HMPA]2·H2O. The feasibility of using water as a ligand within lithiated organics has been confirmed through the syntheses and crystal structures of the dimeric 2-mercaptobenzoxazoyllithium complexes [C6H4O(C{partial double bond, bottom dashed}S){partial double bond, bottom dashed}NLi·HMPA·H2O]2 (1) and [C6H4O(C{partial double bond, bottom dashed}S){partial double bond, bottom dashed}NLi·HMPA]2·H2O (2) which exhibit intramolecular hydrogen bonding between H2O and the Sδ- centre of the organic anion and also intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which serves to sew these dimers into extended arrays: ab initio MO calculations on model aquo species have clarified the effects of H2O complexation and hydrogen bonding, in particular, by demonstrating that incorporated H2O molecules are activated, e.g. towards further metallation.
