Abstract
A series of phosphorus and selenium peri-substituted
acenaphthene species with the phosphino group oxidized by O, S, and Se
has been isolated and fully characterized, including by single-crystal
X-ray diffraction. The P(V) and Se(II) systems showed fluxional behavior
in solution due to the presence of two major rotamers, as evidenced
with solution NMR spectroscopy. Using Variable-Temperature NMR (VT NMR)
and supported by DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations and
solid-state NMR, the major rotamers in the solid and in solution were
identified. All compounds showed a loss of the through-space JPSe
coupling observed in the unoxidized P(III) and Se(II) systems due to
the sequestration of the lone pair of the phosphine, which has been
previously identified as the major contributor to the coupling pathway.
