Syntheses and Thermal Properties of Cluster Molecules, formed from Groups 11‐13‐16 Elements In the presence of PPh₃, CuX (X = Cl, CH₃COO) or AgOC(O)C₆H₅ and GaCl₃ react in THF with S(SiMe₃)₂ or Se(SiMe₃)₂ to yield [Cu₆Ga₈Cl₄S₁₃(PPh₃)₆] ( 1 ), [Cu₆Ga₈Cl₄Se₁₃(PPh₃)₆] ( 2 ), [Ag₆Ga₈Cl₄S₁₃(PPh₃)₆] ( 4 ) and [Ag₆Ga₈Cl₄Se₁₃(PPh₃)₆] ( 5 ). The use of PⁿPr₂Ph instead of PPh₃ and subsequent layering with n‐hexane leads to the formation of the cluster [Cu₆Ga₈Cl₄Se₁₃(PⁿPr₂Ph)₁₂] ( 3a , 3b ). Reaction of CuCl, GaCl₃ and PⁿPr₃ with Se(SiMe₃)₂ in THF results in the crystallisation of the ionic cluster (HPⁿPr₃)₂[Cu₂Ga₄Cl₄Se₆(PⁿPr₃)₄] ( 6 ). The structures of 1 — 6 were determined by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis. Thermogravimetric measurements of the cluster molecules and powder diffraction patterns of the remaining powders reveal the potential use of them as single source precursor compounds for the synthesis of the related ternary solid state materials.

If the starting materials and the bidentate phosphine ligands (Ph₂P–(CH₂)_n–PPh₂, n = 1: dppm, n = 3: dppp, n = 4: dppb; Ph₂P–C≡C–PPh₂: dppa) and silylated chalcogen derivates are changed (RSeSiMe₃; R = Ph, Mes) a series of new CuSe clusters can be synthesized. From single crystal X‐ray structure analysis one can characterise [Cu₃₈Se₁₃(SePh)₁₂(dppb)₆] ( 1 ), [Cu(dppp)₂] · [Cu₂₅Se₄(SePh)₁₈(dppp)₂] ( 2 ), [Cu₃₆Se₅(SePh)₂₆(dppa)₄] ( 3 ), [Cu₅₈Se₁₆(SePh)₂₄(dppa)₆] ( 4 ) and [Cu₃(SeMes)₃(dppm)] ( 5 ). In this new class of CuSe clusters, compounds 1 and 4 possess a spherical cluster skeleton, wheras 2 and 3 have a layered cluster core.     

Synthesen und Kristallstrukturen der chalkogenidoverbrückten Nickelclusterverbindungen [Ni5Se4Cl2(PPhEt2)6], [Ni12Se12(PnPr3)6] und [Ni18S18(PiPr3)6]

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Chalcogenido‐bridged Nickel Cluster Compounds [Ni₅Se₄Cl₂(PPhEt₂)₆], [Ni₁₂Se₁₂(PⁿPr₃)₆], and [Ni₁₈S₁₈(PⁱPr₃)₆] The reaction of (R)ESiMe₃ (R = SiMe₃, Mes = C₉H₁₁; E = S, Se) with [NiCl₂(PPhEt₂)₂] and [NiCl₂(PR₃)₂] (R = ⁿPr, ⁱPr) gives new chalcogenido‐bridged nickel cluster compounds [Ni₅Se₄Cl₂(PPhEt₂)₆]·2THF ( 1 ), [Ni₁₂Se₁₂(PⁿPr₃)₆]·2THF ( 2 ), and [Ni₁₈S₁₈(PⁱPr₃)₆]·2THF ( 3 ).

Neue Kupfertellurid‐Cluster – Synthesen,Kristallstrukturen und optische Spektren

New Coppertelluride Clusters – Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Optical Spectra Reactions of copper(I) acetate with Te(SiMe₃)₂ lead in the presence of tertiary phophines PR₃ (R = organic group) to the formation of new coppertelluride clusters: [Cu₈Te₄(PPh₃)₇] ( 1 ), [Cu₁₆Te₉(PPh₃)₈] ( 2 ), [Cu₂₃Te₁₃(PPh₃)₁₀] ( 3 ), [Cu₄₄Te₂₃(PPh₃)₁₅] ( 4 ), [Cu₁₂Te₆(PPh₃)₈] ( 5 ), [Cu₂₆Te₁₂(PEt₂Ph)₁₂] ( 6 ), [Cu₁₆Te₈(PⁿPr₂Ph)₁₀] ( 7 ), [Cu₄₄Te₂₃(PⁿPr₂Ph)₁₅] ( 8 ), [Cu₂₄Te₁₂(PⁱPr₃)₁₂] ( 9 ). Simple electron counting on the basis of Cu¹⁺ and Te^2– suggests that the smaller and medium size clusters 1 , 5 , 7 , and 9 are electron precise compounds and that on the other hand some of the medium size and larger ones 2 , 3 , 4 , and 8 must contain mixtures of Cu¹⁺/Cu²⁺ ions or 6 Cu¹⁺ ions and Cu⁰ atoms. UV‐VIS spectra in the solid state strongly confirms this suggestion by showing broad intervalence bands in the region of higher wavelengths for the cluster compounds formally being not electron precise. Apparently there is also an interesting dependence of these intervalence bands on the size of the cluster molecules.

Kupferchalkogenid‐Clusterverbindungen mit Brom‐funktionalisierter Ligandenhülle

Five new copper chalcogenide cluster molecules, [Cu₄(S–C₆H₄–Br)₄(PPh₃)₄] ( 1 ), [Cu₂₂Se₆(S–C₆H₄–Br)₁₀(PPh₃)₈] ( 2 ), [Cu₂₈Se₆(S–C₆H₄–Br)₁₆(PPh₃)₈] ( 3 ), [Cu₄₇Se₁₀(S–C₆H₄–Br)₂₁(OAc)₆(PPh₃)₈] ( 4 ) and [Cu₈(S–C₆H₄–Br)₆(S₂C–NMe₂)₂(PPh₃)₄] ( 5 ) have been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Compounds 1 – 4 were prepared from the reaction of CuOAc, p‐Br–C₆H₄–SSiMe₃ and Se(SiMe₃)₂ in the presence of PPh₃. In a further reaction of 1 with ⁱPrMgCl and (Me₂N–CS₂)₂ cluster 5 was crystallized.     

A New Synthetic Methodology in the Preparation of Bimetallic Chalcogenide Clusters via Cluster-to-Cluster Transformations

A decanuclear silver chalcogenide cluster, [Ag₁₀(Se){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈] (2) was isolated from a hydride-encapsulated silver diisopropyl diselenophosphates, [Ag₇(H){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₆], under thermal condition. The time-dependent NMR spectroscopy showed that 2 was generated at the first three hours and the hydrido silver cluster was completely consumed after thirty-six hours. This method illustrated as cluster-to-cluster transformations can be applied to prepare selenide-centered decanuclear bimetallic clusters, [Cu_xAg_10-x(Se){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈] (x = 0–7, 3), via heating [Cu_xAg_7−x(H){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₆] (x = 1–6) at 60 °C. Compositions of 3 were accurately confirmed by the ESI mass spectrometry. While the crystal 2 revealed two un-identical [Ag₁₀(Se){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈] structures in the asymmetric unit, a co-crystal of [Cu₃Ag₇(Se){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈]_0.6[Cu₄Ag₆(Se){Se₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₈]_0.4 ([3a]_0.6[3b]_0.4) was eventually characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Even though compositions of 2, [3a]_0.6[3b]_0.4 and the previous published [Ag₁₀(Se){Se₂P(OEt)₂}₈] (1) are quite similar (10 metals, 1 Se²⁻, 8 ligands), their metal core arrangements are completely different. These results show that different synthetic methods by using different starting reagents can affect the structure of the resulting products, leading to polymorphism.     

Chalkogenoniobate als Ausgangsverbindungen zur Darstellung neuer heterobimetallischer Niobium‐Münzmetall‐Chalkogenido‐Cluster

Chalcogenoniobates as Reagents for the Synthesis of New Heterobimetallic Niobium Coinage Metal Chalcogenide Clusters In the presence of phosphine chalcogenoniobates such as Li₃[NbS₄] · 4 CH₃CN ( I ), (NEt₄)₄[Nb₆S₁₇] · 3 CH₃CN ( II ) and (NEt₄)₂[NbE′₃(E^tBu)] ( III a : E′ = E = S; III b : E = Se, E′ = S; III c : E = E′ = Se) respectively react with copper and gold salts to give a number of new heterobimetallic niobium copper(gold) chalcogenide clusters. These clusters show metal chalcogenide units already known from the complex chemistry of the tetrachalcogenometalates [ME₄]^n– (M = V, n = 3, E = S; M = Mo, W, n = 2, E = S, Se). The compounds 1 – 8 owe a central tetrahedral [NbE₄] structural unit, which coordinates η² from two to five coinage metal atoms, employing the chalcogenide atoms of the [NbE₄] edges. The compounds 9 – 11 have a [M′₂Nb₂E₄] (M′ = Cu, Au) heterocubane unit in common, involving a metal metal bond between the niobium atoms, while the compounds 12 and 13 show a complete and 14 an incomplete [M′₃NbE₃X] heterocubane structure (X = Cl, Br). 15 consists of a Cu₆Nb₂ cube with the six planes capped by μ₄ bridging selenide ligands forming an octahedra. The compounds 1 – 15 are listed below: (NEt₄) [Cu₂NbSe₂S₂(dppe)₂] · 2 DMF ( 1 ), [Cu₃NbS₄(PPh₃)₄] ( 2 ), [Au₃NbSe₄(PPh₃)₄] · Et₂O ( 3 ), [Cu₄NbS₄Cl(PCy₃)₄] ( 4 ), [Cu₄NbS₄Cl(P^tBu₃)₄] · 0,5 DMF ( 5 ), [Cu₄NbSe₄(NCS)(P^tBu₃)₄] · DMF ( 6 ), [Cu₄NbS₄(NCS)(dppm)₄] · Et₂O ( 7 ), [Cu₅NbSe₄Cl₂‐ (dppm)₄] · 3 DMF ( 8 ), [Cu₂Nb₂S₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · DMF ( 9 ), [Au₂Nb₂Se₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · DMF ( 10 ), (NEt₄)₂[Cu₃Nb₂S₄(NCS)₅(dppm)₂(dmf)] · 4 DMF ( 11 ), [Cu₃NbS₃Br(PPh₃)₃(dmf)₃]Br · [CuBr(PPh₃)₃] · PPh₃ · OPPh₃ · 3 DMF ( 12 ), [Cu₃NbS₃Cl₂(PPh₃)₃(dmf)₂] · 1.5 DMF ( 13 ), (NEt₄)[Cu₃NbSe₃Cl₃(dmf)₃] ( 14 ), [Cu₆Nb₂Se₆O₂(PMe₃)₆] ( 15 ). The structures of these compounds were obtained by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis.     

Synthesis and Structure of the Clusters [Hg2(μ—SePh)2(SePh)2(PPh3)2] and [Hg3Br3(μ—SePh)3] · 2 DMSO

The compounds [Hg₂(μ—SePh)₂(SePh)₂(PPh₃)₂] ( I ) and [Hg₃Br₃(μ—SePh)₃] · 2 DMSO ( II ) are formed by reactions of [Hg(SePh)₂] with PPh₃ in THF( I ) or with HgBr₂ in DMSO ( II ) at room temperature. X—ray crystallography reveals that the cluster I consists of a distorted square built by each two Hg and Se atoms. The Hg atoms have almost tetrahedral co‐ordination environments formed by selenium atoms of two (μ‐^—SePh) ligands and Se and P atoms of terminal ^—SePh and PPh₃ ligands. The compound II is a six‐membered ring with alternating Hg and Se atoms in the chair conformation. Two DMSO molecules occupy positions below and above the [Hg₃Se₃] ring with the oxygen atoms directed to the centre of the ring.     

Investigating the Thermolysis Products of [Cd10Se4(SePh)12(P n Pr3)4] – The New Cluster Ion [Cd17Se4(SePh)28]2?

Analytical studies on the thermolysis products from [Cd₁₀Se₄(SePh)₁₂(PnPr₃)₄] are reported leading to the identification of the doubly negatively charged species [Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]²⁻. Electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) has been successfully applied to analyse the composition of a polycrystalline precipitate after treatment with SePh⁻ in tetrahydrofuran (THF). Presumably, SePh⁻ reacts with the insoluble (polymeric) cluster product as a charging ligand leading to dissolved monomeric units of the cluster anion [Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]²⁻. This cluster anion could also be crystallized from solutions as [Na(thf)₂18-crown-6][Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈] and [Na(dme)₃]₂[Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]. The experimental results promise a wider applicability of the charged ligand exchange method for the electrospray mass spectrometric characterization of neutral clusters and to obtain intensive monodisperse cluster ion beams for further gas-phase studies.

Through reactions of CuOAc with As(SiMe₃)₃ in the presence of tertiary phosphines the compounds [Cu₁₂(AsSiMe₃)₆(PRR′₂)₆] ( 9 – 11 ) ( 9 : R = R′ = Et; 10 : R = Ph, R′ = Et; 11 : R = Et, R′ = Ph) and [Cu₈(AsSiMe₃)₄(P^tBu₃)₄] ( 12 ) can be obtained. In each case the products were characterised by single‐crystal‐X‐ray‐structure‐analyses. As the main structure element 1 – 3 each have two As₄Ph₄^2–‐chains as ligands. In contrast 4 – 12 contain discrete AsR^2–ligands.

However, both cluster structures show no analogy to the structures of the related bulk phases.

Probing the Metal Composition of Ternary 12–12′‐16 Nanoclusters via Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

The reaction of [(3,5‐Me₂–C₅H₃N)₂Zn(SeSiMe₃)₂] with a solution of Cd(OAc)₂, Se(Ph)SiMe₃ and PPr₃ at low temperature was used to prepare single crystals of ternary group 12–12′‐16 nanoclusters with the composition [Zn_1.8Cd_8.2Se₄(SePh)₁₂(PPr₃)₄]. A ligand exchange reaction using Na[SePh] was performed to displace the neutral PPr₃ ligands. The resulting clusters were probed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to determine the number of zinc and cadmium atoms in the cluster and compared to the all cadmium cluster [Cd₁₀Se₄(SePh)₁₂(PPr₃)₄]. The dianionic clusters [Zn_xCd_10–xSe₄(SePh)₁₄]^2– where x = 0, 1, 2 were assigned in the mass spectra, revealing that the clusters exhibit elemental distributions that are quite narrow in these experiments.

Structural Consequences of S → Se Substitution in some Symmetrical [M(S2CNR2)3] Complexes

The consequences of replacement of the symmetrically chelate ligands in [M(E₂CNR₂)₃] (E = S, Se) complexes of potential 32 symmetry by analogous mixed S,Se unsymmetrical chelates are explored for both small (M = Co) and large (M = In) metal atoms, and R = primary (Et) and secondary (ⁱPr) alkyl substituents by way of low‐temperature single crystal X‐ray studies of [(Co(SSeCNEt₂)₃] ([Co(Se₂CNEt₂)₃] also determined as datum), and [In(SSeCNR₂)₃], R = Et, ⁱPr. The structure of [(ⁱPr₂N·CS·Se)₂] is also recorded.
