Synthesis and Structures of Triorganochalcogenium (Te, Se, S) Dinitramides

Abstract The syntheses of the triorganochalcogenium dinitramide salts [Ph 3 Te][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 1 ), [Me 3 Te][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 2 ), [Ph 3 Se][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 3 ), [Me 3 Se][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 4 ), [Ph 3 S][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 5 ), and [Me 3 S][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] ( 6 ), their characterization by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, vibrational spectra, and single‐crystal structures are described. The syntheses of the compounds were achieved with the help of [Ag(py) 2 ][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] and [Ag(NCCH 3 )][N(NO 2 ) 2 ] as dinitramide transfer reagents. Whereas in the crystal structure of 1 different coordination modes to dinitramide moieties are present, the crystal structure of 3 shows only a single intermolecular contact to the dinitramide moiety.
