[H₂cyclam]₂[Sb₄F₁₆] · 2 H₂O contains tetrameric anions which weakly associate to chains. The [H₂cyclam]²⁺ ions possess an unusual conformation due to intramolecular hydrogen bonds. [H₄cyclam][Sb₂F₁₀] · 2HF contains the dimeric hitherto unknown [Sb₂F₁₀]^4? ion; two HF molecules are attached to it by hydrogen bonds. The structure of [H₄(tetramethyl)cyclam]₂[Sb₄F₁₅][HF₂][F]₄ is made up of the two dimensional polymeric [HSb₄F₁₇]^4? anion. The tetra-protonated tetramethylcyclam ions form host-guest complexes with fluoride ions.     

A New Preparative Route of the “Stepped‐Cubane” Tetranuclear Copper(II) Compound, [Cu4(μ2‐OH)2(μ3‐OH)2Cl2(bipy)4]Cl2 · 6H2O

The compound [Cu₄(μ₂‐OH)₂(μ₃‐OH)₂Cl₂(bipy)₄]Cl₂ · 6H₂O ( 1 ) was obtained by recrystallization of [Cu(HB)₂(2, 2′‐bipy)] · H₂O (H₂B = diphenylglycolic acid) from EtOH/CH₂Cl₂ and their structure has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The cationic complex may be described as based on a Cu₄(OH)₄ core with a “stepped cubane” structure. The coordination polyhedron around each copper is a distorted square pyramid. The tetranuclear units are linked in the crystal by C‐H…Cl hydrogen bonds and by π‐π interactions between bipyridine rings. IR data are also presented.     

Three different bonding modes of cyano groups in the coordination polymer [Cu(en)2(H2O)][Cu(en)2Ni2Cu2(CN)10]·2H2O (en is 1,2‐diaminoethane)

Partial reduction of the Cu^II ions in the aqueous system Cu^II–en–[Ni(CN)₄]^2?

The structure is formed by a negatively charged two‐dimensional array of the cyano complex [Cu(en)₂Ni₂Cu₂(CN)₁₀]_n^2n?, [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)]²⁺ complex cations and water mol­ecules of crystallization. These last are involved in a complicated hydrogen‐bonding system. The cyano groups act as terminal, μ₂‐bridging or μ₃‐bridging ligands.

Crystal Structures of [Cu2(bpy)2(H2O)(OH)2(SO4)]·4H2O and [Cu(bpy)(H2O)2]SO4 with bpy = 2, 2′‐Bipyridine

Two sulfato Cu^II complexes [Cu₂(bpy)₂(H₂O)(OH)₂(SO₄)]· 4H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(bpy)(H₂O)₂]SO₄ ( 2 ) were synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X—ray diffraction. Complex 1 consists of the asymmetric dinuclear [Cu₂(bpy)₂(H₂O)(OH)₂(SO₄)] complex molecules and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. Within the dinuclear molecules, the Cu atoms are in square pyramidal geometries, where the equatorial sites are occupied by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and two O atoms of different μ₂—OH groups and the apical position by one aqua ligand or one sulfato group. Through intermolecular O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π—π stacking interactions, the dinuclear complex molecules are assembled into layers, between which the hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules are located. The Cu atoms in 2 are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and four O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two sulfato groups with the sulfato O atoms at the trans positions and are bridged by sulfato groups into ¹[Cu(bpy)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)_2/2] chains. Through the interchain π—π stacking interactions and interchain C—H···O hydrogen bonds, the resulting chains are assembled into bi—chains, which are further interlinked into layers by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between adjacent bichains.

A lvt‐type Framework [Cu2(tza)4]·ClO4·4H2O Derived from 1H‐tetrazole‐1‐acetic Acid

The reaction of 1H‐tetrazole‐1‐acetic acid (Htza) and perchloric acid with cuprous chloride with slow evaporation at room temperature gave a novel 3D porous Cu^II coordination polymer, [Cu₂(tza)₄] · ClO₄ · 4H₂O ( 1 ), (tza = tetrazole‐1‐acetate). The structure exhibits an unusual 3D microporous coordination framework built up by four coordinated Cu^II nodes and bidentate bridging tza ligands with lvt‐type topology. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of complex 1 were also investigated.

Oxalato‐ and Squarato‐Bridged Threedimensional Networks: The Crystal Structures of La₂(C₂O₄)(C₄O₄)₂(H₂O)₈ · 2.5 H₂O and K[Bi(C₂O₄)₂] · 5 H₂O The title compounds have been formed by hydrolysis of amino‐ and thioderivatives of squaric acid in the presence of La^III and Bi^III ions. Both compounds are threedimensional coordination polymers in the solid state, as shown by single crystal X‐ray crystallography. In La₂(C₂O₄)(C₄O₄)₂(H₂O)₈ · 2.5 H₂O oxalato‐bridged pairs of LaO₉ polyhedra are connected with identical neighbouring polyhedra by squarate ions. In K[Bi(C₂O₄)₂] · 5 H₂O each Bi atom is fourfold linked to other Bi atoms by the oxalate ions. The resulting 3D network shows a diamond‐like topology with square‐shaped channels. In both structures the channels are partially filled by water molecules.     

Zu den Kristallstrukturen der Übergangsmetall(II)‐Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborat‐Hydrate Cu(H2O)5,5[B12H12]·2,5 H2O und Zn(H2O)6[B12H12]·6 H2O

On the Crystal Structures of the Transition‐Metal(II) Dodecahydro‐closo‐Dodecaborate Hydrates Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O and Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with basic copper(II) carbonate or zinc carbonate, blue lath‐shaped single crystals of the octahydrate Cu[B₁₂H₁₂]·8 H₂O (≡ Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O) and colourless face‐rich single crystals of the dodecahydrate Zn[B₁₂H₁₂]·12 H₂O (≡ Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O) could be isolated after isothermic evaporation. Copper(II) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate octahydrate crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic system with the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pm (Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O: a = 768.23(5), b = 1434.48(9), c = 777.31(5) pm, β = 90.894(6)°; Z = 2), whereas zinc dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate dodecahydrate crystallizes cubic in the likewise non‐centrosymmetric space group F23 (Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O: a = 1637.43(9) pm; Z = 8). The crystal structure of Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O can be described as a monoclinic distortion variant of the CsCl‐type arrangement. As characteristic feature the formation of isolated [Cu₂(H₂O)₁₁]⁴⁺ units as a condensate of two corner‐linked Jahn‐Teller distorted [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra via an oxygen atom of crystal water can be considered. Since “zeolitic” water of hydratation is also present, obviously both classical H–O^δ?···^+δH–O and non‐classical B–H^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds play a significant role for the stabilization of the structure. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions on the Cu²⁺ cations has not been determined. The zinc compound Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O crystallizes in a NaTl‐type related structure. Two crystallographically different [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra are present, which only differ in their relative orientation within the packing of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions. The stabilization of the crystal structure takes place mainly via H–O^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds, since again the hydrogen atoms of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions have no direct coordinative influence on the Zn²⁺ cations.

Average bond distances in the [Ta₆Br₁₂(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations: 1 , Ta‐Ta, 2.9243 Å; Ta‐Brⁱ , 2.607 Å; Ta‐O, 2.23 Å; 3 , Ta‐Ta, 2.9162 Å; Ta‐Brⁱ , 2.603 Å; Ta‐O, 2.24 Å.

The crystal packing results in short O···O contacts along the c axes. Under the same experimental conditions, [Ta₆Cl₁₂]²⁺ oxidized to [Ta₆Cl₁₂]⁴⁺ , whereas [Nb₆X₁₂]²⁺ clusters were not affected by the Cu²⁺ ion.

For [Cu(en)₂][Ni(CN)₄] (a = 650.5(3), b = 729.0(3), c = 796.5(4) pm, α = 106.67(2), β = 91.46(3), γ = 106.96(2)°, P1, Z = 1) the results of a structure determination published earlier have been confirmed. The compound is weakly paramagnetic and obeys the Curie‐Weiss law in the range T < 100 K.

The [Mo(CN)₈]^4– groups of the three compounds, prepared at about 275 K and easily decomposing, show but slightly distorted dodecahedral coordination (mean distances Mo–C: 216.3, 215.4 and 216.1 pm). Within the monoclinic complexes the anions twodimensionally form cyano bridges to the ammin cations [M(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and are connected with the resulting [MN₆] octahedra (Co–N: 215.1 pm, Ni–N: 209.8 pm) into strongly puckered layers. The trigonal complex exhibits a chain structure, as one [Ni(NH₃)₅]²⁺ cation is only bound as terminal octahedron (Ni–N: 212.0 pm). Details and the influence of hydrogen bridges are discussed.

The title compound, namely octa­aqua­ytterbium(III) aqua­nona­chloro­tricadmate(II) hexa­hydrate, [Yb(H₂O)₈][Cd₃Cl₉(H₂O)]·6H₂O, was prepared by evaporation at 278 K from an aqueous solution of the ternary system YbCl₃–CdCl₂–H₂O and was characterized by elemental chemical analysis and by X‐ray powder and single‐crystal diffraction studies. The crystal structure can be viewed as being built from layers of double chains of CdCl₆ and CdCl₅(H₂O) octahedra separated by antiprismatic [Yb(H₂O)₈]³⁺ cations.

Darstellung und Struktur der Komplexverbindungen trans‐[CoIII(py)4F2][H2F3] und [Pd(py)4]F2 · 1,5 HF · 2 H2O

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Complexes trans ‐[Co^III(py)₄F₂][H₂F₃] and [Pd(py)₄]F₂ · 1.5 HF · 2 H₂O The cobalt complex trans‐[Co(III)(py)₄F₂][H₂F₃] ( 1 ) has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation of CoF₂ in a pyridine/HF mixture and the palladium complex [Pd(py)₄]F₂ · 1.5 HF · 2 H₂O ( 2 ) has been obtained via halogen exchange between Pd(py)₂Cl₂ and AgF₂ in pyridine. 1 and 2 crystallize in the space group C2/c with a = 27.928(14), b = 9.019(3), c = 18.335(8) Å, β = 113.41(3)° for 1 and a = 28.183(9), b = 9.399(3), c = 17.397(6) Å, β = 104.66(3)° for 2 , respectively. Concerning the shape and location of the M(py)₄ fragments 1 and 2 are isostructural. The metal atoms occupy special positions in their unit cells with the result that four complex atoms have C₂ symmetry and four complex cations have C_i symmetry giving a total of Z = 8. In 1 two F^– ions complete an octahedral coordination around the Co atoms (Co–F 1.820(2) to 1.834(3) Å). In 2 the shortest Pd–F distance is 3.031(2) Å. This precludes the existence of Pd–F bonds. In 1 one can identify H₂F₃^– groups. In 2 there are larger aggregates, consisting of F^–, HF, and H₂O subunits, connected by H‐bridges. In spite of these differences, both complexes belong to the same type of structure, which may be of a common type M^x+(py)₄F_x · y HF · z H₂O.

M²⁺ (M = Mn, Co), which is situated on a twofold crystallographic axis, is coordinated in a moderately distorted octahedral fashion by two water molecules, two oxygen atoms of the phthalate anions and two nitrogen atoms of 4,4′‐biypyridine ( 1 : M–O 219.5(2), 220.1(2) pm, M–N 225.3(2), 227.2(2) pm; 2 : Co–O 212.7(2), 213.7(2) pm, Co–N 213.5(3), 214.9(3) pm). M²⁺ and [C₆H₄(COO)₂)]^2? build up chains, which are linked by 4,4′‐biyridine molecules to yield a two‐dimensional coordination polymer with layers parallel to (001).Thermogravimetric analysis in air of 1 indicated a loss of water of crystallization between 154 and 212 °C and in 2 between 169 and 222 °C.     

Three New Thioantimonates(V): Solvothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [M(chxn)3]3(SbS4)2·4H2O (M = Ni,Co) and [Co(dien)2][Co(tren)SbS4]2·4H2O

The three new thioantimonates(V) [Ni(chxn)₃]₃(SbS₄)₂·4H₂O ( I ), [Co(chxn)₃]₃(SbS₄)₂·4H₂O ( II ) (chxn is trans‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and [Co(dien)₂][Co(tren)SbS₄]₂·4H₂O ( III ) (dien is diethylenetriamine and tren is tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compounds I and II are isostructural crystallizing in space group C2/c. The structures are composed of isolated [M(chxn)₃]²⁺ complexes (M = Ni, Co), [SbS₄]^3? anions and crystal water molecules. Short S···N/S···O/O···O separations indicate hydrogen bonding interactions between the different constituents. Compound III crystallizes in space group and is composed of [Co(dien)₂]²⁺ and [Co(tren)SbS₄]^? anions and crystal water molecules. In the cationic complex the Co²⁺ ion is in an octahedral environment of two dien ligands whereas in [Co(tren)SbS₄]^? the Co²⁺ ion is in a trigonal bipyramidal coordination of four N atoms of tren and one S atom of the [SbS₄]^3? anion, i.e., two different coordination polyhedra around Co²⁺ coexist in this compound. Like in the former compounds an extended hydrogen bonding network connects the complexes and the water molecules into a three‐dimensional network.
