Synthesen und Reaktionen von Aluminiumalkoxid‐Verbindungen

Syntheses and Reactions of Aluminium Alkoxide Compounds Al(O^cHex)₃ ( 1 ) can be synthesized by the reaction of Al with cyclohexanol under evolving of H₂ in boiling xylene. [Li{Al(OCH₂Ph)₄}] ( 2 ) was obtained by treatment of PhCH₂OH with a 1 M solution of LiAlH₄ in THF. [{(THF)Li}₂{Al(O^tBu)₄}Cl] ( 3 ) is the result of the reaction of four equivalents of LiO^tBu on AlCl₃ in THF. 3 is the educt for the reactions with the Lewis‐acids InCl₃ and FeCl₃ in THF leading to the metalates [{(THF)₂Li}₂{Al(O^tBu)₄}] · [MCl₄] [M = In ( 4 ), Fe ( 5 )]. The attempt to react InCl₃ with four equivalents of LiO^tBu leads to only one isolated and characterized product, the complex [Li₄(O^tBu)₃(THF)₃Cl]₂ · THF ( 6 · THF), which can also be synthesized by the treatment of LiCl with three equivalents of LiO^tBu in THF. 1–6 · THF were characterized by NMR, IR and MS techniques as well as by X‐ray structure determinations. According to them, 1 , which is tetrameric in solution, is the first structurally characterized example of the proposed trimer form of aluminium alkoxides [ROAl{Al(OR)₄}₂] with a central trigonal bipyramidal coordinated Al atom. 2 forms a coordination polymer with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere of Li and Al, running along [100]. The trinuclear structure skeleton [{(THF)₂Li}₂{Al(O^tBu)₄}]⁺ is still present in the isotypical metalates 4 and 5 . The counter ions [MCl₄]^– possess nearly T_d symmetry.

Thiacalix[4]arene‐Supported Tetranuclear TbIII and EuIII Compounds: Synthesis,Structure, Luminescence,and Magnetism

Two tetranuclear compounds [Ln₄Na(μ₄‐OH)(TC4A)₂(acac)₄] [Ln = Tb ( 1 ), Eu ( 2 )] (acac = acetylacetonate) were synthesized and characterized based on p‐tert‐butylthiacalix[4]arene (H₄TC4A). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are two crystallographically independent metal atoms in one asymmetric unit. Ln1, Ln2, and two metal atoms generated by the symmetry operation are bridged by one μ₄‐OH group to form a planar tetragonal Ln₄(μ₄‐OH) unit. Each Ln₄(μ₄‐OH) unit is surrounded by four acac anions and two disordered sodium ions in the planar direction. The upper and lower positions of the Ln₄(μ₄‐OH) unit are further coordinated by two cone‐shaped TC4A ligands to form a sandwich‐type molecular structure. Luminescent measurements reveal that both compounds 1 and 2 exhibit good photoluminescent properties. Moreover, the static and dynamic magnetic properties of compound 1 were also investigated, which demonstrates that 1 is one functional material candidate combining luminescent and antiferromagnetic properties in one molecule.     

Synthesen von Verbindungen mit M–N‐Bindungen (M = Li,Ga, In)

Syntheses of Compounds with M–N Bonds (M = Li, Ga, In) The adducts [GaCl₃(HNⁱPr₂)] ( 1 ) and [InCl₃{HN(CH₂Ph)₂}₂] ( 2 ) can be obtained by the reactions of the corresponding metal(III) halides with the amines. The In amide In(N^cHex₂)₃ ( 3 ) can be formed by treatment of InCl₃ with three equivalents of LiN^cHex₂. Reaction with four equivalents of LiN^cHex₂ leads to the same product. However, the treatment of InCl₃ with four equivalents of LiN(CH₂Ph)₂ gives the desired metalate [Li(THF)₄][In{N(CH₂Ph)₂}₄] ( 4 ). From the corresponding reaction of InCl₃ with LiNⁱPr₂ no In‐containing product could be identified. Instead, the aggregate of LiCl with three units of LiNⁱPr₂, [Li₄(NⁱPr₂)₃(THF)₄Cl] ( 5 ), was isolated. 1 – 4 were characterized by NMR, IR and MS techniques as well as by X‐ray structure determinations. According to them, 1 possesses a tetrahedrally coordinated Ga atom, at which two units of 1 are connected by hydrogen bridges to centrosymmetrical dimers. The In atoms in 2 have a trigonal‐bipyramidal coordination sphere; the amine molecules occupy the apical positions. The central metal atom in 3 and the anion of 4 exhibit trigonal‐planar and distorted tetrahedral environments, respectively. The novel structural motif in 5 is the Cl^– ion, only partly surrounded by Li⁺ ions in a strongly distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal fashion. The dominating angle amounts to 165.2(2)°.

In the [nacnac]SnX₃ compounds (X = Cl 2 , Br 3 , I 4 ) the tin atom is five coordinated and part of a six‐membered ring. The Sn–N‐bond length of 3 is 2.163(4) Å and 2.176(5) Å of 4 . The five coordinated germanium of the [nacnac]GeCl₃ compound 5 shows in addition to the three chlorine atoms further bonds to a carbon and to a nitrogen atom. In contrast to the known compounds with the [nacnac] ligand the afore mentioned reaction creates a carbon–metal‐bond (1.971(3) Å) forming a four‐membered ring. The Ge–N bond length (2.419(2) Å) indicates the formation of a weakly coordinating bond.

The cyclovoltammetric oxidation of the metaloxanes 1 ‐ 2 occurs in two two‐electron steps and following two one‐electron transitions. The oxidation of 3 occurs in a four‐electron process and a following two‐electron transition. Silandiol 4 is oxidized via two one‐electron transitions. The oxidation of the educt [FcNGeCl₃] ( 5 ) occurs in a one‐electron step. Temperature depending ⁵⁷Fe‐Mössbauer‐measurements confirm as well intervalent electron transitions in 1 ‐ 5 as the chelate stucture in 5 .
