Transition Metal Halide Salts of 2-Amino-5-Substituted-Pyridines: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of Two Polymorphs of (5-IAP)2CuCl4[5-IAP = 2-Amino-5-Iodopyridinium]

The reaction of anhydrous CuCl₂ with HCl and 2-amino-5-iodopyridine in 1-propanol resulted in two polymorphs of (5-IAP)₂[CuCl₄] [5-IAP = 2-amino-5-iodopyridinium], one as red rods (1) and one as orange prisms (2). The two polymorphs have been characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility. Crystal data: triclinic, P-1, F(000) = 606, MoK _α (λ = 0.71073 Å): for (1): a = 9.248(6), b = 10.202(7), c = 10.368(7) Å, α = 102.451(9), β = 96.662(8), γ = 96.725(8)°, V = 938.4(11) &Aringsup3;, Z = 2, D_calc = 2.291 Mg/m³, μ = 5.020 mm^?1, R = 0.0392 for [|I|≥2σ(I)].

The crystal packing for both polymorphs suggests that their magnetic behavior should be that of weakly interacting alternating linear chains. Temperature dependent susceptibility measurements yield: for 1 , C = 0.43, g = 2.14, θ = m 1.98; for 2, C = 0.45, g = 2.19, θ = ?4.15.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSES OF TWO MIXED CATIONIC LANTHANIDE POTASSIUM HEXACYANOFERRATE(II) TETRAHYDRATES

Abstract

The crystal structural investigations of 1 : 1 (La/Nd)KFe(CN)₆ 4H₂O (I) and 1:1 (Pr/Nd) KFe(CN)⁶·4H₂O (II) have been determined using three-dimensional, single-crystal, X-ray diffraction data and refined by least-squares to yield final reliability (R) factors of 0.0180 and 0.020 based on 358 and 343 unique reflections, respectively. I and II crystallize in the hexagonal space group P6₃/m (No. 176) with a = 7.371(1), c= 13.833(3)Å for I and a = 7.362(1), c= 13.799(3) A for II. For Z = 2, the respective calculated densities are 2.371 and 2.388 mgm^?3 [exp., 2.369(4) and 2.382(4)mgm^?3]. The coordination about the lanthanide central ions in both I and II is nine, and the geometric polyhedra are tricapped trigonal prisms (TTP). Cyanide bridging links the octahedral FeC₆ groups to the nine-coordinated (Ln/Nd)N₆(H₂O)₃ groups. The noncoordinated water molecule and the potassium ion occupy holes in the lattice along the three-fold axis above and below the lanthanide ions. Selected bond distances and angles are presented as well as discussions of the synthesis, TGA, IR, and digital SEM/EDS results, and other peripheral studies of I and II.

Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 9.0770(5) Å, b = 9.4043(4) Å, c = 19.8720(9) Å, α = 101.551(1)°, β = 93.498(1)°, γ = 108.484(1)°, V = 1562.02(13) ų, and Z = 2. Each Cd(II) is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II)'s by double end-to-end thiocyanate bridges, resulting in the formation of 1-D zigzag chains, linked to each other via bridging 2-mBIM giving a 2-D supramolecular framework. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.6543(6) Å, b = 7.7128(4) Å, c = 17.3089(9) Å, β = 109.3980(10)°, V = 1593.45(14) ų, and Z = 2. Cd(II) is coordinated with oxygen and nitrogens from two independent 2-mBIM, in a cis-configuration to form a 1-D helical structure. A 3-D supramolecular network comprised of succinate anion bridged 1-D helical chains, and weak hydrogen bonds between dimer waters gave 2-D layers.

Formation and Crystal Structure of the Salt (IC(PPh3)2)2I[I3]·(I2)2 with a new Polyiodide Chain

The reaction of the carbodiphosphorane Ph₃P=C=PPh₃ ( 1 ) with MeI in the presence of iodine gives the oxidation product (IC(PPh₃)₂)₂I[I₃]·(I₂)₂ ( 2 ). In the solid state dimeric units linked by indefinite ···I^?···I₂···I₃^?···I₂···I^?··· chains are found. An additional I···I contact between the cation and the I₂ molecule is formed, amounting to 359.23(5) pm. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c, with the unit cell dimensions a = 2053.9(1), b = 1011.4(1), c = 1889.8(1) pm; β = 105.21(1)° and Z = 4.
