Unusual Tri-, Hexa-, and Nonanuclear Cu(II) Cage Methylsilsesquioxanes: Synthesis, Structures, and Catalytic Activity in Oxidations with Peroxides

Three types of unusual cagelike copper(II) methylsilsesquioxanes, namely, nona- [(MeSiO1.5)18(CuO)9] 1, hexa- [(MeSiO1.5)10(HO0.5)2(CuO)6(C12H8N2)2(MeSiO1.5)10(HO0.5)1.33(CH3COO0.5)0.67(CuO)6(C12H8N2)2] 2, [(MeSiO1.5)10(CuO)6(MeO0.5)2(C10H8N2)2] 3, and trinuclear [(MeSiO1.5)8(CuO)3(C10H8N2)2] 4, were obtained in 44%, 27%, 20%, and 16% yields, respectively. Nuclearity and structural fashion of products was controlled by the choice of solvent system and ligand, specifically assisting the assembling of cage. Structures of 1-4 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 4 are the first cage metallasilsesquioxanes, containing nine and three Cu ions, respectively. Product 1 is the first observation of nonanuclear metallasilsesquioxane ever. Unique architecture of 4 represents early unknown type of molecular geometry, based on two condensed pentamembered siloxane cycles. Topological analysis of metal clusters in products 1-4 is provided. Complex 1 efficiently catalyzes oxidation of alcohols with tert-butylhydroperoxide TBHP to ketones or alkanes with H2O2 to alkyl hydroperoxides in acetonitrile. © 2017 American Chemical Society.
