The coordination chemistry of mono and bis(di-2-pyridylamine)copper(II) complexes: preparation,characterization and crystal structures of [Cu(L)(NO2)2], [Cu(L)(H2O)2(SO4)], [Cu(L)2(NCS)](SCN)·0.5DMSO and [Cu(L)2(SCN)2]

The crystal structures of two mono(dpyam)copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dpyam)(NO₂)₂] (1) and [Cu(dpyam)(H₂O)₂(SO₄)] (2) and two dithiocyanate compounds containing bis(dpyam)copper(II) units, [Cu(dpyam)₂(NCS)](SCN)·0.5DMSO (3) and [Cu(dpyam)₂(SCN)₂] (4) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The second orthorhombic form of the monomeric Cu(II) complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of di-2-pyridylamine (dpyam) with CuCl and NaNO₂ in water–methanol solution. Each copper(II) ion in 1 exhibits a tetrahedrally-distorted square base of the CuN₂O₂ chromophore, with off-the-z-axis coordinated nitrito groups weakly bound in approximately axial positions. Complex 2 is an example of a polymeric copper(II) derivative containing the bidentate bridging sulfate ligand in the long-bonded axial positions. Each copper(II) ion in 2 shows an elongated tetragonal octahedral stereochemistry. The CuN₄N′ chromophore of 3 involves a square-based pyramidal structure, slightly distorted towards a trigonal bipyramidal stereochemistry, τ=0.13. One of the SCN⁻ anions is bonded to the copper(II) ion via the N atom in the axial position of the square pyramid. Complex 4 is centrosymmetric and octahedrally elongated, with the SCN⁻ anions coordinating in axial positions via the S atom. The structures of complexes 1–4 and their ESR and electronic reflectance spectra are compared with those of related complexes.     

Synthesis and characterisation of [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)-stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dmit)3], [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dmio)3] and [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-selenolato)stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dsit)3], complexes: Analysis of the structural variations of the [Sn(dmit)3]2− and [Sn(dmio)3]2− dianions

[Tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]²⁻, [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₅)₃], [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]²⁻, [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₄O)₃], and [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-diselenolato)stannate]²⁻ [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₃Se₂)₃], complexes, have been synthesised and characterised. Crystal structure determinations of [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₅)₃] (Q=1,4-dimethylpyridinium, monoclinic and orthorhombic forms; NMe₄, NEt₄, and PPh₄) and [NEt₄]₂[Sn(C₃S₄O)₃] revealed variations in the overall dianion structures. The geometry about tin in each case is essentially octahedral with the chelate bite angles in the range 80.7(5)–87.45(4)°: the range of Sn–S distances is 2.5207(18)–2.571(17) Å. A statistical analysis, carried out on the crystal structure data for the six complexes, indicated that the most critical factors in controlling the overall shape of the dianion were the distances of the Sn atom from the dithiolate ligand planes [Sn–OOP]. Interanionic S⋯S interactions, within the sum of the van der Waals’ radii for two S atoms, are affected by the size of the cation, Q; the secondary connectivity is 3-dimensional for the smallest cations, Q=1,4-dimethylpyridinium and NMe₄, in chains for the somewhat larger cation, NEt₄ and is absent for the still larger, PPh₄ cation.

Molecular Hume-Rothery compounds [M(ZnR)n] and [M(ZnR)a(GaR)b] (a + 2b = n ≥ 8): relations of coordination polyhedra and electronic structure

The icosahedral complex [Mo(ZnMe)(9)(ZnCp*)(3)] is discussed as the prototype for a whole family of high-coordinate, metal-rich compounds [M(ZnR)(n)] and [M(ZnR)(a)(GaR)(b)] (a + 2b = n ≥ 8; for the same metal M). In contrast to other highly coordinate complexes of classic, monodentate (nonchelating) nonmetal atom ligator ligands, for the (weakly) bonding metal atom ligators ZnR and GaR, attractive ligand-ligand interactions play an important role. The structures of the compounds were evaluated by the method of continuous-shape measures, and the bonding situation of models (R = H) was analyzed on the density functional level of theory. The structures and coordination polyhedra of [M(M'R)(n)] (M' = Zn, Ga) turned out to be independent of the central metal or the nature of the metals M' in the ligand shell, and the resulting molecular orbital schemes vary only slightly as a result of the different symmetries, however resulting in the same coordination polyhedra (structures) for all complexes. This result may be viewed as a molecular representation for the situation in extended solid-state intermetallic phases of the Hume-Rothery type.     

Synthesis and characterization of an amidinate-stabilized cis-1,2-disilylenylethene [cis-LSi{C(Ph)=C(H)}SiL] and a singlet delocalized biradicaloid [LSi(μ(2)-C(2)Ph(2))(2)SiL

The synthesis and characterization of novel cis-1,2-disilylenylethene [cis-LSi{C(Ph)=C(H)}SiL] (2; L=PhC(NtBu)(2)) and a singlet delocalized biradicaloid [LSi(μ(2)-C(2)Ph(2))(2)SiL] (3) are described. Compound 2 was prepared by the reaction of [{PhC(NtBu)(2)}Si:](2) (1) with one equivalent of PhC[triple chemical bond]CH in toluene. Compound 3 was synthesized by the reaction of 1 with two equivalents of PhC[triple chemical bond]CPh in toluene. The results suggest that the reaction proceeds through an [LSi{C(Ph)==C(Ph)}SiL] intermediate, which then reacts with another molecule of PhC[triple chemical bond]CPh to form 3. Compounds 2 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations of 3 show that the singlet biradicals are stabilized by the amidinate ligand and the delocalization within the "Si(μ(2)-C(2)Ph(2))(2)Si" six-membered ring.
