Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵) lithium-methylphosphanide] — a Compound with a meso-Helix Structure Studies of Fritz et al. [10] showed methylphosphane to be lithiated at ?60°C in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether solution by stoichiometric amounts of lithium n-butanide in n-hexane. After removing the hydrocarbons almost completely by distillation and cooling the solutions to ?60°C again, colourless square crystals of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium ( 1 ) and (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵)lithium methylphosphanide ( 2 ) precipitate. As shown by an X-ray structure determination (monoclinic, P2₁/n; a = 805.5(1); b = 1820.6(2); c = 851.5(1) pm; β = 116.76(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; R = 0.034) complex 2 forms a polymer which has the shape of an up to now scarcely noted meso-helix. Four-coordinated lithium is bound to two phosphorus (P? Li 252.9 and 253.2 pm; P? Li? P 131.8°; Li? P? Li 132.1°) and to two oxygen atoms (Li? O 203.9 and 206.8; O …? O 270.7 pm; O? Li? O 82.5°) of the inherently tridentate 2,5,8-trioxanonane ligand. As compared to the standard value (185 pm) the P? C distance (187.4 pm) is slightly lengthened. Structure determinations of (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵,O⁸) lithium 1-(phenylsulfonyl)alkyl compounds published some years ago [26, 27], allow a comparison of molecular parameters characteristic for the twofold or threefold coordinating chelate ligand.     

Alkylidinphosphane und -arsane. I [P ≡ C?S]−[Li(dme)3]+ – Synthese und Struktur

Alkylidynephosphanes and -arsanes. I [P ≡ C? S]^?[Li(dme)₃]⁺ – Synthesis and Structure O,O′-Diethyl thiocarbonate and bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, react below 0°C to give ethoxy trimethylsilane and tris(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium 2λ³-phosphaethynylsulfanide – [P≡C? S]^? [Li(dme)₃]⁺ – ( 1a ). Apart from bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfane or carbon oxide sulfide, dark red concentrated solutions of λ³-phosphaalkyne 1 are also obtained from reactions of carbon disulfide with bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide or with the homologous lithoxy-methylidynephosphane ( 2 ) [1]. The ir spectrum shows two absorptions at 1762 and 747 cm^?1 characteristic for the P≡C and C? S stretching vibrations. The nmr parameters {δ(³¹P) ? 121.3; δ(¹³C) 190.8 ppm; ¹J_CP 18.2 Hz} resemble much more values of diorganylamino-2λ³-phosphaalkynes than those of bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxy-methylidyne-phosphane ( 2a ). As found by an X-ray structure analysis (P2₁/c; a = 1192.6(16); b = 1239.1(19); c = 1414.8(26) pm; β = 105.91(13)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; wR = 0.064) of pale yellow crystals (mp. + 16°C) isolated from the reaction with O,O′-diethyl thiocarbonate, the solid is built up of separate [P≡C? S]^? and [Li(dme)₃]⁺ ions. Typical bond lengths and angles are: P≡C 155.5(11); C? S 162.0(11); Li? O 206.4(17) to 220.3(20) pm; P≡C? S 178.9(7)°.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VII. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethan-N,N′]lithium-disilylphosphanid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VII. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium Disilylphosphanide — Synthesis and Structure Crystalline lithium phosphanides studied so far show a remarkably high diversity of structure types dependent on the ligands at lithium and the substituents at phosphorus. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium disilylphosphanide ( 1 ) discussed here, belongs to the up to now small group of compounds which are ionic in the solid state. It is best prepared from silylphosphane by twofold lithiation with lithium dimethylphosphanide first and subsequent monosilylation with silyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by complexation. As found by X-ray structure determination (wR = 0.038) on crystals obtained from diethyl ether {monoclinic; space group P2₁/c; a = 897.8(1); b = 1 673.6(2); c = 1 466.8(1) pm; β = 90.73(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}, the lithium cation is tetrahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane molecules. Characteristic parameters of the disilylphosphanide anion are a shortened average P? Si bond length of 217 pm (standard value 225 pm) and a Si? P? Si angle of 92.3°.     

Alkylidinphosphane und -arsane. II. Über die Oxydation des Lithoxy-methylidinphosphans PC?O?Li mit Schwefeldioxid und Iod

Alkylidynephosphanes and -arsanes. II. Oxydation of Lithoxy-methylidynephosphane P?C? O? Li with Sulphur Dioxide and Iodine At ?50°C bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxymethylidynephosphane P?C? O? Li(dme)₂^1,2) ( 1 a ) [2] reacts almost quantitatively with sulphur dioxide or iodine in 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution to give bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)bis(tetrahydrofuran-O)(μ-1,2,4-triphospholo[1,2-a]-1,2,4-triphosphol-1,3,5,7-tetraonato(2?)-O¹,O⁷:O³,O⁵)dilithium ( 2 a ) and lithium dithionite or iodide respectively. From the reaction with sulphur dioxide the crystalline, pale yellow compound is obtained in 40% yield. The formation of the unusual anionic heterocycle, built up of four PCO units, may be explained by an oxydation of two [P?C? O]^? species first, followed by a nucleophilic attack of two other [P?C? O]^? anions and coupled ?intramolecular”? cycloaddition reactions. In the ³¹P{¹H} nmr spectrum two phosphorus atoms each of coordination number two and three give rise to two triplets with chemical shift values of 81.4 and 36.9 ppm and a ²J(PP) coupling constant of 31.7 Hz; the ¹³C{¹H} resonances of the [(PCO)₄]^2? anion come from an ABMM′X spin system, the X part being discussed in detail. An X-ray structure determination {Cmcm; a = 1 277.14(11); b = 1 487.7(2); c = 1 556.94(11) pm at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 molecules; R₁ = 0.061; wR₂ = 0.150} shows compound 2 a to crystallize as a neutral complex of symmetry mm2. The anionic part of the molecule consists of two anellated 1,2-dihydro-5-oxo-1,2,4-triphosphol-3-olate rings which share the central P? P unit (P1? P1′ 215.3; P1–C1 189.1; C1 P2 178.4; C1 O1 123.9pm; C1? P1? P1′ 98.4; Cl? P1? C1″ 91.2; C1 P2 C1′ 98.7°). Thus compound 2a may be assigned to the group of P? P heterocycles with a butterfly structure [71–75] as well as to the well-known diacylphosphanides taking into account, however, the unusual E,E configuration of both O?C? P?C? O^? units. The lithium cations are square pyramidally coordinate (Li? O 193.5 to 209.1 pm), each additionally binding an 1,2-dimethoxyethane and a tetrahydrofuran molecule.     

[(dme)Li]3As7 – Synthese und Aufbau einer Verbindung mit Nortricyclen-Struktur

Alkylidynephosphines and -arsines. III. [(dme)Li]₃As₇ – Synthesis and Constitution of a Compound with Nortricyclane Structure While treatment of bis(tetrahydrofuran)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide with dimethyl carbonate in 1,2-dimethoxyethane results in formation of methoxytrimethylsilane and the λ³-phosphaalkyne (dme)₂Li–O–C≡P [2], a similar reaction of the corresponding arsanide gives the neutral complex [(dme)Li]₃As₇ ( 1 a ) together with carbon monoxide. From a cooled solution of mostly 1,2-dimethoxyethane and small amounts of diethyl ether amber rods of the co-crystallizate 1 a · OEt₂ precipitate; a detailed analysis of the data record showed that they are twinned by reticular merohedry with apparent hexagonal symmetry. A subsequent x-ray structure determination in space group P2₁/n (a₁ = 1123.0(2); b = 1485.5(3); c₁ = 1945.1(4) pm; β = 90.00(3)° at –100 ± 3 °C; Z = 4 formula units; wR₂ = 0.280) revealed an almost hexagonal packing of neutral complexes with relatively mobile diethyl ether molecules in channels of the structure. Two negatively charged arsenic atoms each of the heptarsanortricyclane skeleton coordinate to a [(dme)Li]⁺ cation; average bond lengths and angles (As_a–As_e 240.7; As_e–As_b 235.3; As_b–As_b 249.8 pm; As_e–As_a–As_e 101.0°; As_a–As_e–As_b 99.6°; As_e–As_b–As_b 105.1°; As_b–As_b–As_b 60.0°) are similar to those of analogous compounds. Ab initio calculations were performed on the model systems As₇^3– ( 2 ) and As₇H₃ ( 3 ) in order to explain striking trends in characteristic parameters of anionic or molecular heptarsanortricyclane skeletons, respectively.     

(O,O′)-Diorganodithiophosphatophenyltellur(II)- und Tris[(O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV)-Verbindungen; Kristallstruktur von Tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV)

(O,O′)-Diorganodithiophosphatophenyltellurium(II)- and Tris[(O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphato]phenyltellurium(IV) Compounds; Crystal Structure of Tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV) The title compounds are available by reaction of trichlorophenyltellurium(IV) respectively iodophenyltellurium(II) with the sodium or ammonium salts of (O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphorus acids in various solvents. The resulting tellurium(IV) compounds have a pronounced tendency towards reductive elimination of bis[(O,O′)-diorganothiophosphoryl]disulfanes [S₂P(OR)₂]₂ in solution. In contrast, the tellurium(II) compounds are stable, although they are disintegrated to diphenylditellane and [S₂P(OR)₂]₂ on prolonged standing in chlorinated hydrocarbons. Crystals of tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellurium(IV) are monoclinic (space group P2₁/c) with the cell constants: a = 1 039.2(1), b = 1 037.9(3), c = 4 205.0(1) pm, β = 95.273(1)°, V = 4 516.42(9)X10⁶ pm³, Z = 4. The compound appears to be monomeric in the solid state forming a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The stereochemical influence of the lone pair of electrons causes the axial (i. e. C1? Te? S4) angle to be 156.6(1)° rather than the theoretical 180°.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VI. Lithium- und (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium-cyantrimethylsilylamid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VI. Lithium and (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium Cyanotrimethylsilylamide — Syntheses and Structures At different temperatures N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide ( 1 ) and lithium methanide react either under addition or substitution. When compound 1 , however, is treated at ?40°C with an equimolar amount of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 2 ) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, only exchange of one trimethylsilyl group versus lithium is observed and in addition to phosphane and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane a very pure lithium derivative insoluble in n-pentane can be isolated. The vibrational spectra prove the compound to be lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ). Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran (+40/+20°C) yields (tetrahydrofuran)lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ′). As shown by an X-ray structure analysis {C2/c; a = 2 261.1(5); b = 1 106.4(2); c = 1 045.9(2) pm; β = 113.63(1)°; Z = 8 formula units}, compound 3 ′ is polymeric in the solid state. Coordinative Li? N2′ bonds allow a head-to-tail addition of two monomeric units each to give an eight-membered heterocycle with two linear N1? C2≡N2 fragments (N1? C2 126.1; C2≡N2 117.5; N1? Si 171.4; Li? N1 203.2; Li? N2′ 206.1 pm; C2? N1? Li 109.0; N1? Li? N2′ 115.9; N2≡C2? N1 177.2°). Forming planar four-membered Li? N2? Li? N2 rings (Li? N2″″ 198.3 pm; Li′? N2? Li″ 80.3; N2′? Li? N2″″ 99.5°) these heterocycles polymerize to slightly folded tapes.

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IV Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Lithium [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME Lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME [3] and tellurium react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give colourless lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME ( 1 ). An X-ray structure determination {-150 · 3·C; P2₁/c; a = 1346.6(4); b = 1497.0(4); c = 1274.5(3) pm; β = 99.22(2)·; Z = 2 dimers; R = 0.030} shows the compound to be dimeric forming a planar Li? Te? Li? Te ring with two tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents in a trans position. Three-coordinate tellurium is bound to the central silicon of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group and to two lithium atoms; the two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium are occupied by the chelate ligand DME {Li? Te 278 and 284; Si? Te 250; Li? O 200 pm (2X); Te? Li? Te 105°; Li? Te? Li 75°; O? Li? O 84°}. The covalent radius of 154 pm as determined for the DME-complexed lithium in tellanide 1 is within the range of 155 ± 3 pm, also characteristic for similar compounds. In typical reactions of the tellanide 1 [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 2 ), methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 4 ) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane ( 5 ) are formed.     

Bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide des Lithiums und Zinks – Synthese sowie NMR-spektroskopische,strukturelle und quantenchemische Untersuchungen

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphanes. XXXV. Bis[ N -(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanides of Lithium and Zinc – Syntheses as well as NMR Spectroscopic, Structural, and Quantumchemical Studies From the reaction of bis(tetrahydrofuran)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide with two equivalents of benzonitrile in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, the yellow dme complex ( 2 a ) of lithium bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide ( 2 ) was obtained in 69% yield. However, the intermediate {1-[N-lithium-N-(trimethylsilyl)amido]benzylidene}trimethylsilylphosphane ( 1 ), formed by an analogous 1 : 1 addition in diethyl ether, turned out to be unstable and as a consequence could be characterized by nmr spectroscopic methods only; attempts to isolate the compound failed, but small amounts of the neutral complex 2 b , with the ligands benzonitrile and tetrahydrofuran coordinated to lithium, precipitated. The reaction of compound 2 with zinc(II) chloride in diethyl ether gives the orange-red spiro-complex zinc bis{bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide} ( 3 ); this complex is also formed from bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphane ( 4 ), easily amenable by a lithium hydrogen exchange of 2 a with trifluoroacetic acid [18], and zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide]. As derived from nmr spectroscopic studies and x-ray structure determinations, compounds 2 a {δ³¹P +63.3 ppm; P2₁/n; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.067}, 2 b {δ³¹P +63.3 ppm; P2₁/c; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.063}, 3 {δ³¹P +58.2 ppm; C2/c; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.037} and 4 {δ³¹P +58.1 ppm [18]} exist as cyclic 3-imino-2λ³σ²-phosphapropenylamides and -propenylamine, respectively, in solution as well as in the solid state. Unlike hydrogen derivative 4 the bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide fragments N,N′-coordinating either a lithium or a zinc cation are characterized by almost completely equalized bond lengths; typical mean distances and angles are: PC 180.3 and 178.7; CN 130.5 and 131.8; N–Si 175.3 and 179.3; N–Li 202.3; N–Zn 203.5 pm; CPC 108.8° and 110.5°; PCN 130.9° and 132.9°; CN–Li 113.0°, CN–Zn 117.4°; N–Li–N 104.6°; N–Zn–N 108.8°. Alterations in the shape of the six membered chelate rings, caused by an exchange of the 3-imino-2λ³σ²-phosphapropenylamide or related 2λ³σ²-phospha-1,3-dionate units for the corresponding phosphorus free ligands, are discussed in detail. The results of quantumchemical DFT-B3LYP calculations coincide very well with the experimentally obtained findings.

X-ray structure determinations (R _w = 0.036/0.045) show the bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative 1 to be dimeric with a planar P? Li? P? Li ring (P? Li 256 pm; Li? P? Li 76°; P? Li? P 104°), and the dihydrogenphosphide 2 to be polymeric with a linear Li? P? Li fragment (P? Li 254 to 260 pm; Li? P? Li 177°; P? Li? P 118°). The shortened P? Si distance (221 pm) of compound 1 and the structure of the PH ₂ group in 2 are discussed in detail. Lithium obtains its preferred coordination number 4 by a chelation with one molecule of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (Li? O 202 to 204 pm).

The phosphorus atom displays a pyramidal surrounding in contrast to the planar coordination sphere of the nitrogen atom. In addition a twist within the P? C?

The solvatochromic compound [Cu(tfmh)Me₄en]ClO₄ (tfmh^? denotes the anion of 1,1,1-trifluoro-6-methyl-2,4-heptanedione) was prepared and its structure has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data. The structure consists of discrete [Cu(tfmh)Me₄en]⁺ monomeric units and perchlorate ions. The copper(II) ion is surrounded by the two nitrogen atoms of the diamine molecule and the two oxygen atoms of the β-dionato anion.

Molecular and Crystal Structure of 1,4-Bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran)lithium]-octaphenyltetrasilane 1,4-Dilithium-octaphenyltetrasilane prepared from octaphenyl-cyclo-tetrasilane and lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) [4], can be isolated from tetrahydrofuran/n-pentane as an adduct with six molecules of tetrahydrofuran per formula unit. The orange-red compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 {a = 1159.6(3); b = 1268.4(2); c = 1367.8(3) pm; α = 92,23(2)° β = 113.79(2)° γ = 111.62(2)° at ?5 ± 3°C; Z = 1}. An x-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.046) shows the existence of a centrosymmetric molecule with an extended planar Li? Si₄?

Heteroleptische Diorganylzink-Verbindungen mit einem Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanido-Substituenten

Heteroleptic Diorganylzinc Compounds with a Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido Substituent Dialkylzinc ZnR₂ (Me, Et, iso-Pr, nBu, tBu, CH₂SiMe₃) reacts with one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)-phosphine in carbohydrates to the heteroleptic compounds RZnP(SiMe₃)₂; dependent from the steric demand of the alkyl group R the derivatives are dimeric or trimeric in solution as well as in the solid state. Monomeric bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-tris(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc yields from the reaction of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)methanide and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide with zinc(II) chloride. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-methylzinc crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with {a = 1 007.6(1); b = 1 872.3(3); c = 2 231.0(4) pm; Z = 4} as a trimeric molecule with a central cyclic Zn₃P₃ moiety in the twist-boat conformation. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-n-butylzinc, that crystallizes in the orthorombic space group Pben with {a = 1 261.7(2); b = 2 253.0(4); c = 1 798.9(2) pm; Z = 4}, shows a simular central Zn₃P₃ fragment. The sterically more demanding trimethylsilylmethyl substituent leads to the formation of a dimeric molecule of bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-trimethylsilylmethylzinc {monoklin, P2₁/c; a = 907.2(4); b = 2 079.8(8), c = 1 070,2(3) pm; β = 103,48(1)°; Z = 2}. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-iso-propylzinc shows in solution a temperature-dependent equilibrium of the dimeric and trimeric species; the crystalline state contains a 1:1 mixture of these two oligomers {orthorhombisch; Pbca; a = 1 859.0(3); b = 2 470.9(2); c = 3 450.7(3) pm; Z = 8}. The Zn? P bond lengths vary in a narrow range around 239 pm, the Zn? C distances were found between 196 and 203 pm.

Characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are { 1 d , Sb–Cl 240.9(1), Sb–C 214.0 pm, Cl–Sb–C 93.8°, C–Sb–C 98.6(1)°; 5 d , Sb–C 217.5(3) pm, C–Sb–C 94.9(6)°; 6 , Sb–Br 264.6; Sb–C 217.0(8) pm, Br–Sb–Br 179.4(1)°; C–Sb–C 120°; Br–Sb–C 84.8(2)° to 94.7(2)°}. Stiborane 6 exhibits very weak intermolecular Sb‥Br interactions of 417 pm which, however, affect the molecular conformation in a striking way.

Die Kristallstruktur von Bis(N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenoureato)nickel(II)

The Crystal Structure of Bis(N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenoureato)nickel(II) Ni(C₁₂H₁₅N₂OSe)₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The cell parameters are a = 11.399(3), b = 16.016(4), c = 14.910(6) Å, β = 104.64(3)° and Z = 4. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and was refined to a final R-value of 5.43%. Nickel is coordinated to two N,N-diethyl-N′ -benzoylselenourea molecules to form a bidentally coordinated chelate complex with cis arrangement of the donor atoms. Coordinaton around the nickel atom is planar while the chelate rings diverge from planarity. The ethyl groups of one diethylamino group are disordered. The Ni? Se bond lengths are 2.244(1) and 2.264(1) Å, the Ni? O bond lengths are 1.871(4) and 1.883(4) Å, respectively.     

Synthese und Struktur von Lithium-tris(trimethylsilyl)silanid · 1,5 DME

Synthesis and Structure of Lithium Tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME Lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME 2a synthesized from tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane 1 [6] and methyllithium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane , crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with following dimensions of the unit cell determined at a temperature of measurement of ?120 ± 2°C: a = 1 072.9(3); b = 1 408.3(4); c = 1 775.1(5) pm; β = 107.74(2)°; 4 formula units (Z = 2). An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.040) shows the compound to be built up from two [lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide] moieties which are connected via a bridging DME molecule. Two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium atom are occupied by a chelating DME ligand. The Li? Si distance of 263 pm is considerably longer than the sum of covalent radii; further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: Si? Si 234, Li? O 200, O? C 144, O?O (biß) 264 pm; Si? Si? Si 104°, Li? Si? Si 107° to 126°; O? Li? O (inside the chelate ring) 83°. Unfortunately, di(tert-butyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane 17 prepared from di(tert-butyl)dichlorsilane 15 , chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium, does not react with alkyllithium compounds to give the analogous silanide.

1 1,2-Dimethoxyethan (DME); Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

1 and green, metallic lustrous tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)dibismuthane 2 crystallize isotopic to their antimony homologues [1, 2]. As it is shown by crystal structure determinations { 1 : ?90°C; I 4 2d; a = 1017,3(4); c = 3738,0(26) pm; Z = 8; R _w = 0,065; 2 : + 20°C; P2 ₁ /c; a = 680,9(4); b = 1704,8(13); c = 1197,9 (10) pm; β = 119,46(6)°; Z = 2; R _w = 0,084} both compounds form chains which in the case of bismuthide 1 are built up as screws of alternating bismuth and lithium atoms; bonding further to two trimethylsilyl groups or to the chelating DME ligand both atoms gain coordination number 4 {Li? Bi 292(3); Bi? Si 263.3(14) pm; Bi? Li? Bi 132(1); Li? Bi? Li 148(1); φ(Li? Bi? Li? Bi) 83°}. In the case of dibismuthane 2 the centrosymmetric molecules are strung, their Bi-Bi groups forming nearly linear zigzag chains with shortened intermolecular contact distances {Bi-Bi 303.5(3); Bi …? Bi 380.4(3); Bi? Si 268 pm; Bi? Bi …? Bi 169; Bi? Bi? Si 97.4(5) and 92.0(5)°}. Structure and properties of 2 are compared with those of similar compounds; the crystal structure of brown, green metallic lustrous bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ditellane 5 already published by Ludlow and McCarthy[3] is reinvestigated with respect to very short intermolecular Te…?Te contacts.     

One Dimensional Coordination Polymer Constructed by1,2—Bis（4—pyridinecarboxamido）ethane and Copper（Ⅱ）

The ligand [1,2‐bis(4‐pyridinecarboxamido)ethane] (L) and the coordination polymer |[Cu(L)₂(H₂O)]‐(NO₃)₂·6H₂O|·(1) haw been synthesized and characterized by ER and ¹H NMR spectra. Their molecular structures and the packing of 1 have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(n) in 1 is bridged by two ligands forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain like structure and L in 1 adopts a different conformation from its free state. 1 belongs to monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 1.2896(3) nm, b = 1.2552(8) nm, c = 2.2903(19) nm, β = 93.04(5)°, Z = 4, V = 3.702(4) nm³. The TG and DTG experiments showed that the uncoordinated H₂O can be removed at low temperature by heating, and it does not decompose until 250 °C.
