Chemistry:Organosilver chemistry

From HandWiki

Organosilver chemistry in chemistry of compounds containing a carbon to silver chemical bond.[1] The theme is less developed than organocopper chemistry. The first attempts in organosilver were recorded by Buckton in 1859[2] and by J. A. Wanklyn & L. Carius in 1861.[3] The synthesis of methyl silver was described by Semerano and Riccoboni[4] Poor thermal stability is reflected in decomposition temperatures of AgMe (-50 °C) versus CuMe (-15 °C) and PhAg (74 °C) vs PhCu (100 °C).

Alkyl, alkenyl, aryl derivatives

Phenylsilver can be obtained by reaction of silver nitrate with an trialkylphenyllead compound:

AgNO3 + R3PhPb → PhAg

Alternatively, diphenylzinc may be used:[5]

Ph2Zn + AgNO3 → PhAg + PhZnNO3

Silver mesityl is a tetramer. It is produced by reaction of silver chloride and the Grignard reagent:[6]

AgCl + (CH3)3C6H2MgBr → [(CH3)3C6H2Ag]4 + MgClBr

Silver forms stable complexes with ylides such as triphenylphosphonium methylide:

AgCl + Ph3P=CH2 → AgCl(Ph3P=CH2)

Alkenylsilver compounds are also more stable than their alkylsilver counterparts. Vinylsilver can be obtained by reaction of silver nitrate with tetravinyllead:[7]

AgNO3 + (CH2=CH)4Pb → (CH2=CH)Ag + (CH2=CH)3PbNO3

Fluoroalkyl and alkenyl derivatives

The C-Ag bond is stabilized by perfluoroalkyl ligands:[8]

AgF + CF2=CF(CF3) → AgCF(CF3)2

Following established trends, perfluorinated alkyl and alkenyl derivatives of silver exhibit improved thermal stability. The alkenyl derivatives are generated by the addition of silver fluoride to hexafluorobutyne and tetrafluoroallene.[9]

Organosilver compounds usually have the oxidation state +1. A notable exception is Ag(CF3)4−.

Carbene and CO complexes

Silver forms relatively fragile complexes with CO, including [Ag(CO)n]+ (n = 1, 2, 3).[10]

Silver-NHC complexes are numerous. Some are commonly used to prepare other NHC complexes by displacing labile ligands. For example, the reaction of the bis(NHC)silver(I) complex with bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride or chlorido(dimethyl sulfide)gold(I):[11]

Alkene complexes

Like other heavy d10 metal ions, Ag+ has a pronounced affinity for alkenes. The ability of silver to form alkene complexes has long been exploited in the separation of alkenes by "argentation chromatography", which uses a support containing silver salts.[13] Illustrative is [Ag(C2H4)3]+.[14]

Catalysis

In catalysis silver is active as silver oxide in the Wolff rearrangement. Silver is also present in other carbon-carbon bond skeletal rearrangements such as the quadricyclane to norbornadiene rearrangement, the cubane to cuneane rearrangement and the rearrangement of the cyclobutadiene dimer to cyclooctatetraene.
