Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Six Pentanuclear and Tetranuclear Mo/W‐Cu‐S Clusters with Bis(diphenylphosphanyl) Methane

Six heterothiometalic clusters, namely, [WS₄Cu₄(dppm)₄](ClO₄)₂ · 2DMF · MeCN ( 1 ), [MoS₄Cu₄(dppm)₄](NO₃)₂ · MeCN ( 2 ) [MoS₄Cu₃(dppm)₃](ClO₄) · 4H₂O ( 3 ), [WS₄Cu₃(dppm)₃](NO₃) · 4H₂O ( 4 ), [WS₄Cu₃(dppm)₃]SCN · CH₂Cl₂ ( 5 ), and [WS₄Cu₃(dppm)₃]I · CH₂Cl₂ ( 6 ) [dppm = bis (diphenylphosphanyl)methane] were synthesized. Compounds 1 – 4 were obtained by the reactions of (NH₄)₂MS₄ (M = Mo, W) with [Cu₂(μ₂‐dppm)₂(MeCN)₂(ClO₄)₂] {or [Cu(dppm)(NO₃)]₂} in the presence of 1,10‐phen in mixed solvent (CH₃CN/CH₂Cl₂/DMF for 1 and 2 , CH₂Cl₂/CH₃OH/DMF for 3 and 4 . Compounds 5 and 6 were obtained by one‐pot reactions of (NH₄)₂WS₄ with dppm and CuSCN (or CuI) in CH₂Cl₂/CH₃OH. These clusters were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction as well as IR, ¹H NMR, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Structure analysis showed that compounds 1 and 2 are “saddle‐shaped” pentanuclear cationic clusters, whereas compounds 3 – 6 are “flywheel‐shaped” tetranuclear cationic clusters. In 1 and 2 , the MS₄^2– unit (M = W, Mo) is coordinated by four copper atoms, which are further bridged by four dppm molecules. In compounds 3 – 6 , the MS₄^2– unit is coordinated by three copper atoms and each copper atom is bridged by three dppm ligands.

Crystal Structure and Vibrational Spectrum of (H₂NPPh₃)₂[SnCl₆]·2CH₃CN Single crystals of (H₂NPPh₃)₂[SnCl₆]·2CH₃CN ( 1 ) were obtained by oxidative addition of tin(II) chloride with N‐chloro‐triphenylphosphanimine in acetonitrile in the presence of water. 1 is characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy as well as by a single crystal structure determination: Space group , Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1029.6(1), b = 1441.0(2), c = 1446.1(2) pm, α = 90.91(1)°, β = 92.21(1)°, γ = 92.98(1)°, R₁ = 0.0332. 1 forms an ionic structure with two different site positions of the [SnCl₆]^2? ions. One of them is surrounded by four N‐hydrogen atoms of four (H₂NPPh₃)⁺ ions, four CH₃CN molecules form N–H···N≡C–CH₃ contacts with the other four N‐hydrogen atoms of the cations. Thus, 1 can be written as [(H₂NPPh₃)₄(CH₃CN)₄(SnCl₆)]²⁺[SnCl₆]^2?.     

Complexation of the 2, 4, 6‐Triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine with Copper(I,II) Chlorides. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [CuCl2·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], [Cu7Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], and [Cu8Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3]·2C2H5OH

Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 reflections. Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.

(Acetonitrile‐1κN)[μ‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2(3H)‐thione‐1:2κ²S:S][1H‐benzimidazole‐2(3H)‐thione‐2κS]bis(μ‐1,1‐dioxo‐1λ⁶,2‐benzothiazole‐3‐thiolato)‐1:2κ²S³:N;1:2κ²S³:S³‐dicopper(I)(Cu—Cu), [Cu₂(C₇H₄NO₂S₂)₂(C₇H₆N₂S)₂(CH₃CN)] or [Cu₂(tsac)₂(Sbim)₂(CH₃CN)] [tsac is thiosaccharinate and Sbim is 1H‐benzimidazole‐2(3H)‐thione], (I), is a new copper(I) compound that consists of a triply bridged dinuclear Cu—Cu unit. In the complex molecule, two tsac anions and one neutral Sbim ligand bind the metals. One anion bridges via the endocyclic N and exocyclic S atoms (μ‐S:N). The other anion and one of the mercaptobenzimidazole molecules bridge the metals through their exocyclic S atoms (μ‐S:S). The second Sbim ligand coordinates in a monodentate fashion (κS) to one Cu atom, while an acetonitrile molecule coordinates to the other Cu atom. The Cu^I—Cu^I distance [2.6286 (6) Å] can be considered a strong `cuprophilic' interaction. In the case of [μ‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2(3H)‐thione‐1:2κ²S:S]bis[1H‐benzimidazole‐2(3H)‐thione]‐1κS;2κS‐bis(μ‐1,1‐dioxo‐1λ⁶,2‐benzothiazole‐3‐thiolato)‐1:2κ²S³:N;1:2κ²S³:S³‐dicopper(I)(Cu—Cu), [Cu₂(C₇H₄NO₂S₂)₂(C₇H₆N₂S)₃] or [Cu₂(tsac)₂(Sbim)₃], (II), the acetonitrile molecule is substituted by an additional Sbim ligand, which binds one Cu atom via the exocylic S atom. In this case, the Cu^I—Cu^I distance is 2.6068 (11) Å.     

Butterfly and chair clusters using N,O-chelating ligands: A combined crystallographic and mass spectrometric study

The organic ligand (1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methanol (HL¹) was used to react with Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and triethylamine at 80°C to afford the complex [Cu₄(L¹)₆]·(ClO₄)₂·CH₃CN ( 1 ). Every four-coordinated Cu(II) ion is surrounded with NO₃ coordinated environment, and every five-coordinated Cu(II) ion is surrounded with N₂O₃ coordinated environment. Changing the metal salt to Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, and after adding CH₃COONa, afforded the complex [Zn₄(L¹)₄(NO₃)₂(CH₃COO)₂] ( 2 ), in which every five-coordinated Zn(II) ion is surrounded with NO₄ coordinated environment. High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry results revealed that complex 1 broke into the most stable fragment [Cu₂(L¹)₃]⁺, and it also can assemble high nuclear peaks in solution. For complex 2 , it was found that the complex exhibited different component distribution in solution. Not only were there substitutions between coordinated anions, but the high nuclear peaks could also be detected.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Two CuII‐benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylates with Three‐Dimensional Open Frameworks

Two new three‐dimensional frameworks with zeolite‐like channels were prepared in the presence of 1,6‐diaminohexane.

Cu₂(H₃N–(CH₂)₆–NH₃)_0.5(OH)[C₆H₂(COO)₄] · 3H₂O ( 2 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a = 1159.34(11), b = 1059.44(7), c = 1582.2(2) pm, and β = 106.130(11)°. The Cu²⁺ coordination polyhedra are connected by [C₆H₂(COO)₄]^4– anions to yield three‐dimensional frameworks with wide centrosymmetric channel‐like voids. Complex 1 reveals voids extending along [100] with diagonals of 900 pm and 300 pm, whereas in complex 2 the diagonal of the nearly rectangular crossection of the channels extending parallel to [001] is 900 pm. The negative excess charges of the frameworks are compensated by [H₃N–(CH₂)₆–NH₃]²⁺ cations, which occupy the voids along with water molecules. The [H₃N–(CH₂)₆–NH₃]²⁺ cations are not connected to Cu²⁺ and have served as templates.

After addition of CCl₄ the reaction of Me₃SiNPEt₃ with HBBr₂ · SMe₂ in CH₂Cl₂ leads to the tri(phosphorano)borazinium monocation [H₃B₃(NPEt₃)₃Cl₂]⁺, which is characterized crystallographically as [H₃B₃ · (NPEt₃)₃Cl_1.85Br_0.15]Br · CCl₄.

Spezielle Alkylammoniumhexachlorometallate. I. Kristallisationsverhalten und Kristallstruktur von Diethylentriammoniumhexachlororhodat, [H3N(CH2)2NH2(CH2)2NH3][RhCl6]

Alkylammonium Hexachlorometallates. I. Crystallization Properties and Crystal Structure of Diethylenetriammonium Hexachlororhodate, [H₃N(CH₂)₂NH₂(CH₂)₂NH₃][RhCl₆] The reaction of RhCl₃ · 3H₂O with diethylenetriamine in 12 m hydrochloric acid yielded diethylenetriammonium hexachlororhodate [H₃N(CH₂)₂NH₂(CH₂)₂NH₃][RhCl₆] ( 1 ). Dark red single crystals of the compound were grown under hydrothermal conditions at a temperature interval of 180°C to 125°C in closed glass ampoules over several weeks (space group C2/c, a = 30.956(4) Å, b = 7.371(2) Å, c = 12.9736(15) Å, β = 113.787(11)°, Z = 8, 2385 reflections with I > 0, wR²(obs.) = 0.0279, R¹(I > 2σ(I)) = 0.0271). The crystal structure is determined by a complex framework of hydrogen bonds between the hexachlororhodate anions and the diethylenetriammonium cations.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Novel Tetrameric Nitrido Complexes [{cyclo-ReN}4(S2CNEt2)6(MeOH)2(PPh3)2][BPh4]2 · CH2Cl2 · 2 H2O and [{cyclo-ReN}4(S2CNEt2)4Cl4(PMe2Ph)4] · 2 acetone

Novel tetrameric rhenium(V) complexes have been prepared from [ReNCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and [ReN(PMe₂Ph)(S₂CNEt)₂], respectively. [ReNCl₂(PPh₃)₂] reacts with 1.5 equivalents of KS₂CNEt₂ in methanol to yield the unusual dark red species [{cyclo-ReN}₄(S₂CNEt₂)₆(MeOH)₂(PPh₃)₂][BPh₄]₂ · CH₂Cl₂ · 2 H₂O ( 1 ). The crystal structure of the tetramer (triclinic, space group P1, a = 13.842(2), b = 15.213(2), c = 16.796(3) Å, α = 67.88(1), β = 70.90(1), γ = 88.05(1)°, U = 3080.2(8) ų, Z = 1) shows four rhenium atoms in a square configuration which are bridged via linear asymmetric Re≡N–Re groups with bond lengths of about 169 and 203 pm. The molecule contains a centre of symmetry with two distinct octahedral rhenium environments. The first rhenium environment contains two bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands which complete the octahedral geometry and the second contains a bidentate dithiocarbamate ligand, coordinated methanol and has retained a single phosphine coligand. A symmetric compound containing the {cyclo-ReN}₄ core is obtained from the reaction of [ReN(PMe₂Ph)(S₂CNEt₂)₂] with Al₂Cl₆ in acetone. [{cyclo-ReN}₄(S₂CNEt₂)₄Cl₄(PMe₂Ph)₄] · 2 acetone ( 2 ) forms red crystals (monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 21.432(6), b = 13.700(3), c = 28.060(9) Å, β = 102.37(1)°, U = 8048(4) Å3, Z = 4) with each rhenium atom coordinated by a bidentate dithiocarbamato, a phosphine and a chloro ligand. The non-planar 8-membered {ReN}₄ ring contains asymmetric Re≡N–Re bridges (mean values: 1.69 Å and 2.029 Å, respectively). In contrast, reaction of [ReNCl(S₂CNEt₂)(PMe₂Ph)₂] with one equivalent of K[S₂CN(Me)CH₂CH₂NMe₃]I gave the mixed dithiocarbamato-cation [ReN(S₂CNEt₂)(S₂CN(Me)CH₂CH₂NMe₃)(PMe₂Ph)]⁺ ( 3 ) which was isolated as a tetraphenylborate salt.

Crystals I and II are ionic and belong to the orthorhombic system with parameters a = 13.704(3), b = 23.332(5), c = 9.167(2) Å, R = 0.0355, space goup P2₁2₁2 for I and a = 10.145(4), b = 15.323(6), c = 22.999(8) Å, R = 0.0752, space group Pbc2₁ for II. The complex cation [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]⁺ has a μ₃-O-bridged structure typical for trinuclear iron (III) compounds. As shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy, the iron(III) ions are in the high-spin state. In trinuclear cations, antiferromagnetic exchange interaction takes place between the Fe(III) ions with the exchange parameter J = -26.69 cm^?1 for II (Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck model for D_3h, symmetry).
