Abstract
Despite more than one hundred years of work on organosilicon chemistry, the basis for the plausibility of silicon-based life has never been systematically addressed nor objectively reviewed. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the possibility of silicon-based biochemistry, based on a review of what is known and what has been modeled, even including speculative work. We assess whether or not silicon chemistry meets the requirements for chemical diversity and reactivity as compared to carbon. To expand the possibility of plausible silicon biochemistry, we explore silicon's chemical complexity in diverse solvents found in planetary environments, including water, cryosolvents, and sulfuric acid. In no environment is a life based primarily around silicon chemistry a plausible option. We find that in a water-rich environment silicon's chemical capacity is highly limited due to ubiquitous silica formation; silicon can likely only be used as a rare and specialized heteroatom. Cryosolvents (e.g., liquid N2) provide extremely low solubility of all molecules, including organosilicons. Sulfuric acid, surprisingly, appears to be able to support a much larger diversity of organosilicon chemistry than water.

Abstract
Modeled after boron-based scorpionate ligands, acyclic and cyclic phosphorus-containing compounds possessing reactive groups can serve as excellent precursors for the assembly of novel phosphorus-supported ligands that can coordinate multiple sites. In such ligands, the phosphorus atom does not have any role in coordination but is used as a structural support to assemble one or more coordination platforms. In this Account, we describe the utility of inorganic heterocyclic rings such as cyclophosphazenes and carbophosphazenes as well as acyclic phosphorus-containing compounds such as (S)PCl(3), RP(O)Cl(2), and R(2)P(O)Cl for building such multisite coordination platforms. We can modulate the number and orientation of such coordination platforms through the choice of the phosphorus-containing precursor. This methodology is quite general and modular and allows the creation of well-defined libraries of multisite coordination ligands. Phosphorus-supported pyrazolyl ligands are quite useful for building multimetallic architectures. Some of these ligands are prone to P-N bond hydrolysis upon metalation, but we have exploited the P-N bond sensitivity to generate hydrolyzed ligands in situ, which are useful to build multimetal assemblies. In addition, the intimate relationship between small molecule cyclophosphazenes and the corresponding pendant cyclophosphazene-containing polymer systems facilitated our design of polymer-supported catalysts for phosphate ester hydrolysis, plasmid DNA modification, and C-C bond formation reactions. Phosphorus hydrazides containing reactive amine groups are ideal precursors for integration into more complex ligand systems. The ligand (S)P[N(Me)N=CH-C(6)H(4)-2-OH](3) (LH(3)) contains six coordination sites, and its coordination response depends upon the oxidation state of the metal ion employed. LH(3) reacts with divalent transition metal ions to afford neutral trimetallic derivatives L(2)M(3), where the three metal ions are arranged in a perfectly linear manner in many cases. Incorporating an additional methoxy group into LH(3) affords the ligand (S)P[N(Me)N=CH-C(6)H(3)-2-OH-3-OMe](3) (L'H(3)), which contains nine coordination sites: three imino nitrogen atoms, three phenolate oxygen atoms, and three methoxy oxygen atoms. The reaction of L'H(3) with transition metal salts in 1:1 ratio leads to the in situ formation of a metalloligand (L'M), which on further treatment with lanthanide salts gives heterobimetallic trinuclear cationic complexes [L'(2)M(2)Ln](+) containing a M-Ln-M linear array (M = transition metal ion in a +2 oxidation state). Many of these 3d-4f compounds behave as single-molecule magnets at low temperatures. Although challenges remain in the development of synthetic methods and in the architectural control of the coordination platforms, we see opportunities for further research into coordination platforms supported by main group elements such as phosphorus. As we have shown in this Account, one potential disadvantage, sensitivity of P-N bonds to hydrolysis, can be used successfully to build larger assemblies.

Abstract
A phosphorus supported multisite coordinating ligand P(S)[N(Me)N=CH-C(6)H(4)-o-OH](3) (2) was prepared by the condensation of the phosphorus tris hydrazide P(S)[N(Me)NH(2)](3) (1) with o-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The reaction of 2 with M(OAc)(2).xH(2)O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, x = 4; M = Zn, x = 2) afforded neutral trinuclear complexes [P(S)[N(Me)N=CH-C(6)H(4)-o-O](3)](2)M(3) [M = Mn (3), Co (4), Ni (5), and Zn (6)]. The X-ray crystal structures of compounds 2-6 have been determined. The structures of 3-6 reveal that the trinculear metal assemblies are nearly linear. The two terminal metal ions in a given assembly have an N(3)O(3) ligand environment in a distorted octahedral geometry while the central metal ion has an O(6) ligand environment also in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. In all the complexes, ligand 2 coordinates to the metal ions through three imino nitrogens and three phenolate oxygens; the latter act as bridging ligands to connect the terminal and central metal ions. The compounds 2-6 also show intermolecular C-H...S=P contacts in the solid-state which lead to the formation of polymeric supramolecular architectures. The observed magnetic data for the (s = 5/2)3 L(2)(Mn(II))(3) derivative, 3, show an antiferromagnetic nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor exchange (J = -4.0 K and J' = -0.15 K; using the spin Hamiltonian H(HDvV) = -2J(S(1)S(2) + S(2)S(3)) - 2J'S(1)S(3)). In contrast, the (s = 1)(3) L(2)(Ni(II))(3) derivative, 5, displays ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions (J = 4.43 K and J' = -0.28 K; H = H(HDvV)+ S(1)DS(1) + S(2)DS(2)+ S(3)DS(3)). The magnetic behavior of the L(2)(Co(II))(3) derivative, 4, reveals only antiferromagnetic exchange analogous to 3 (J = -4.5, J' = -1.4; same Hamiltonian as for 3).

Abstract
Phosphorus pyrazolides, P(O)(3,5-Me(2)Pz)(3) or RP(E)(3,5-Me(2)Pz)(2) [E = S or O, R = Me or Ph], are hydrolytically sensitive particularly upon interaction with transition metal ions. In this paper, we report a new tethered pyrazolyl phosphinate, Ph(2)P(O)[OCH(2)CH(2)(3,5-Me(2)Pz)] DPEP (1), where the pyrazolyl group is separated from the phosphorus by means of an ethyleneoxy spacer. 1 has two potential coordination sites in the form of a phosphoryl oxygen atom and a pyrazolyl nitrogen atom. 1 forms hydrolytically stable complexes, (DPEP-CoCl(2))(n)(2), (DPEP)(2)-CuCl(2) (3), (DPEP-ZnCl(2))(n )(4), and (DPEP)(2)-PdCl(2) (5). The cobalt(II) and the zinc(II) complexes 2 and 4 show a zigzag polymeric structure in the solid state with a tetrahedral coordination geometry around the metal ion; the ligand DPEP coordinates through its phosphoryl oxygen and the pyrazolyl nitrogen to two neighboring metal ions and functions as a bridging ligand to form the polymeric structure. In contrast to 2 and 4, the copper(II) and the palladium(II) complexes 3 and 5 show a square-planar geometry around the metal ion. Exclusive coordination through the pyrazolyl nitrogens of the ligand 1 is observed. An extensive supramolecular sheetlike two-dimensional polymeric network is observed in the solid-state structures of 3 and 5 as a result of two weak interactions: (a) an intermolecular C-H- - -O interaction involving the phosphoryl oxygen and an aromatic C-H and (b) a pi-pi face-to-face stacking interaction between the phenyl groups of two adjacent molecules.
