The crystallographic data for I: a = 18.915(2) ?, V = 6767.4 ?³, F-43c space group, Z = 8, d _x = 2.548 g/cm³; II: a = 21.160(6) ?, b = 8.085(7) ?, c = 21.363(4) ?, β = 91.71(4)°, V = 3661.1(6) ?³, P2₁/c space group, d _x = 2.357 g/cm³. Thermal properties of the obtained compounds in the hydrogen and helium atmosphere are studied.

Synthesis,structure characterization and thermal properties of [Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(OOCCH2Bu)9(μ2-OH)3]2

Oxo/hydoxo zirconium(IV) complex of the general formula [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ has been isolated, when Zr(OⁱPr)₄ reacted with a 2-fold excess of 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at 103 and 153 K, showed that the studied compound crystallizes in hexagonal system (P6₃/m (no. 176)). Structure consists of dimers composed of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉] sub-units, linked by six μ₂-OH bridges. Infrared spectroscopic studies proved the presence of hydroxo groups in the structure of studied clusters and formation of different types of oxo/hydroxo bridges. The application of variable temperature infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the structure of this complex undergoes the phase transitions at 143–183 and 203–293 K. Comparison of spectral and crystallographic data suggests that these phase transitions might be related to changes in the strength of Zr–O bonds of μ₂-OH bridges linking complex sub-units, and change in symmetry of the crystal lattice (from hexagonal to trigonal). Analysis of thermogravimetric data showed that decomposition of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ proceeds with complete conversion to ZrO₂ (monoclinic form) between 603 and 803 K.     

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.

Complex I shows one-dimensional coordination polymeric structure based on a tetranuclear cluster unit [Cu₄(En)₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₄(μ_1,1,1-N₃)₂(μ_1,3-N₃)₂], in which the azido ions display three different bridging modes.     

EPR study of solid solutions of [Cr(NH3)5Cl]x[Rh(NH3)5Cl]1?x[PdCl4]·nH2O and [Cr(NH3)5Cl]x[Rh(NH3)5Cl]1?x[PtCl4] compounds

In order to determine the features of the structure of double complex salts (DCSs) of [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]×[MCl₄]·nH₂O, where M = Pd, Pt, n = 0, 1, the DCS solid solutions of palladium and platinum with isostructural DCSs containing the chloropentaammine rhodium cation, [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl] _x [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]_1−x [MCl₄]·nH₂O, where x = 0.01–0.2, are synthesized and studied by the EPR method. DCSs with the isostructural chloropentaammine rhodium cation are used as a diluter for magneto concentrated systems. It is shown that DCS of platinum and anhydrous DCS of palladium have the identical environment of chromium ions. The EPR spectra of chromium ions for these compounds are described by the following spin Hamiltonian parameters: S = 3/2, g _xx = 1.987, g _yy = 1.987, g _zz = 1.985, D = 1660 Gs, E = 235 Gs. For the palladium complex containing crystalline water, the EPR spectra of chromium ions are described by the parameters: S = 3/2, g _xx = 1.984, g _yy = 1.984, g _zz = 1.984, D = 1060 Gs, E = 350 Gs. A decrease in the crystal field parameters for the aqueous palladium complex is caused by a redistribution of the electron density to the oxygen atom in the second sphere of the chromium ion environment.

Diverse coordination of two ligands in ferromagnetic [Cu(μ-HCO2)2(3-pyOH)]n and [Cu2(μ-HCO2)2(μ-3-pyOH)2(3-pyOH)2(HCO2)2]n

Two novel polynuclear complexes with methanoate anions and 3-hydroxypyridine ligands [Cu(μ-HCO₂)₂(3-pyOH)]_n (1) and [Cu₂(μ-HCO₂)₂(μ-3-pyOH)₂(3-pyOH)₂(HCO₂)₂]_n (2), respectively, were synthesized and characterized. The central copper atom in 1 is surrounded by four methanoates and a 3-pyOH molecule, forming a square-pyramidal CuO₃NO chromophore. All the methanoates are bidentate and serve as bridges between the adjacent copper ions via syn-anti and anti–anti coordination. The basal square coordination axes are formed by O(syn), N(3-pyOH) (1.974(2), 2.016(2) Å) and O(anti), O(anti) (1.945(2), 1.960(2) Å), while the third O(anti) (2.247(2) Å) is on the top of the pyramid. A ferromagnetic transition with an exchange constant 2J/k_B = 9.2 cm⁻¹ is found for 1 below 20 K. This interaction probably takes place through two syn-anti methanoates extended in a chain through the 2D structure. On the other hand, two monoatomic Cu–O–Cu intra-dinuclear asymmetric (1.986(2), 2.415(2) Å) bridges of two methanoates in [Cu₂(HCO₂)₄(3-pyOH)₄] (2) are present. An elongated distorted octahedral coordination sphere around each copper(II) atom is completed by an additional monodentate terminal methanoate (1.975(2) Å), two N-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.005(2), 2.002(2) Å) and the third weakly O-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.732(2) Å). Although a shorter Cu?Cu distance is noticed in 2 than in 1 (4.690(1) Å 1, 3.442(1) Å 2), much weaker ferromagnetism is found in 2.     

2D层状焦磷酸锰(Ⅱ)[NH4]2[Mn3(P2O7)2(H2O)2]的结构和磁性研究

A two-dimensional layered manganese(Ⅱ) pyrophosphate, [NH₄]₂[Mn₃(P₂O₇)₂(H₂O)₂] (1), has been synthesized hydrothermally. Its structure is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Its structure is built up by MnO₆ octahedra and P₂O₇ units, with ammonium NH₄⁺ cations residing in the interlayer regions. The manganese pyrophosphate layer consists of infinite chains of cis and trans edge sharing MnO₆ octahedra linked by P₂O₇ units. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that this compound exhibits ferrimagnetic-like ordering below 3.2 K. Further study shows that there are two possible superexchange pathways via the oxygen anions in Mn²⁺ ions. Owing to the different bridging modes of O^2-, the competition between ferromagnetic interactions and antiferromagnetic interactions in Mn²⁺ ions results in the ferrimagnetic behavior of 1.     

Synthesis, structure, and thermal decomposition of [H2(4,4′-Bipy)][In(H2O)2(NCS)4]2 and [HUr]2[In(H2O)(NCS)5] · 2H2O

The thermal decomposition of compound I and II ends at 650 and 640°C, respectively, and gives In₂O₃. X-Ray diffraction analysis of compound I showed that complex anions in the crystal form chains through O-H…S hydrogen bonds. The anion chains form a close packing of columns with bipyridine cations located in the voids. Original Russian Text ? S.P. Petrosyants, A.B. Ilyukhin, V.A.

Spanning [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] metalloligands with 1,4-dimercurated durene

Reaction of the metalloligand [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] with 0.5 mol equivalents of durene-1,4-bis(mercuric acetate) [AcOHgC₆Me₄HgOAc] in methanol gives the polynuclear complex [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺, isolated as its and salts. Positive-ion ESI mass spectra indicate that [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺ undergoes fragmentation by successive loss of PPh₃ ligands, while the ESI mass spectrum of the salt showed additional ions [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄(HgC₆Me₄HgPh)]⁺ and [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]⁺ as a result of phenyl transfer from to Hg. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination on [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)](BPh₄)₂ shows that the cation crystallises on a centre of symmetry, with structural features that are comparable to those of the previously characterised complex [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]BPh₄.
