(Se4)2[Mo2O2Cl8][MCl6](M = Zr,Hf) — Tetraselenium(2+)Halometalates with two Different Anions

The reaction of Se₄[Mo₂O₂Cl₈] with Se₄[MCl₆] (M = Zr, Hf) or of Se, SeCl₄, MoOCl₄, and MCl₄ (M = Zr, Hf) at 120 °C in sealed evacuated glass ampoules gives (Se₄)₂[Mo₂O₂Cl₈][MCl₆] (M = Zr, Hf) in the form of dark‐green, air sensitive crystals in quantitative yield. The crystal structure analyses of both isotypic compounds (monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 2, a = 1336(2), b = 716(1), c = 1518(4) pm, β = 106.0(2)° for M = Zr; a = 1334.1(8), b = 715.03(9), c = 1518.2(3) pm, β = 106.00(2)° for M = Hf) show the presence of square‐planar Se₄²⁺, of dinuclear [Mo₂O₂Cl₈]^2—, and of almost regular octahedral [MCl₆]^2— ions. X‐ray crystallographic investigations on (Se₄)₂[Mo₂O₂Cl₈][ZrCl₆] give no hint for solid state phase transitions between —160 and 200 °C. This is in contrast to the related compounds Se₄[Mo₂O₂Cl₈] and Se₄[ZrCl₆] which both undergo phase transitions accompanied by reorientation of the cations and anions. (Se₄)₂[Mo₂O₂Cl₈][ZrCl₆] is paramagnetic and obeys the Curie‐Weiss law with a Weiss constant of —4(7) K indicating only weak interaction between the paramagnetic centres. The magnetic moment of 1.7(1) μ_B is consistent with the presence of Mo^V (d¹ configuration) and supports the ionic formula.

K2[Mo2O4(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·3H2O

The crystal and molecular structure of dipotassium di‐μ‐oxo‐bis[aqua(oxalato‐O¹,O²)oxomolybdenum(III)] trihydrate, K₂­[Mo₂O₄(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O, has been determined from X‐ray diffraction data. In the dimeric anion, which has approximate twofold symmetry, each Mo atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination, being bonded to one terminal oxo‐O atom, two bridging O atoms, two O atoms from the oxalato ligand and one from the water mol­ecule. Bond lengths trans to the multiple‐bonded terminal oxo ligand are larger than those in the cis position, confirming the trans influence as a generally valid rule.     

Das SCN–-Ion als ambidenter Ligand – Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (Bu4N)4[Ag2Fe2(SCN)12] und (Et4N)2 [Ag2Fe(SCN)6]

The SCN^– Ion as an Ambidentate Ligand – Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (Bu₄N)₄[Ag₂Fe₂(SCN)₁₂] and (Et₄N)₂ [Ag₂Fe(SCN)₆] In (Bu₄N)₄[Ag₂Fe₂(SCN)₁₂] · 2 CH₃NO₂ ( 1 ) and (Et₄N)₂[Ag₂Fe(SCN)₆] ( 2 ) the ambidentate SCN^– anions link Ag⁺ with Fe³⁺ and Fe²⁺ centers, respectively. The tetranuclear anions in 1 are built from [Fe(NCS)₆]^3– groups connected by Ag⁺ ions. In 2 the same bridging pattern leads to polymeric anionic chains containing [Fe(NCS)₆]^4– groups linked by Ag⁺ ions.

Die Kristallstrukturen der Hexachlorometallate NH4[SbCl6], NH4[WCl6], [K(18‐Krone‐6)(CH2Cl2)]2[WCl6]·6CH2Cl2 und (PPh4)2[WCl6]·4CH3CN

Crystal Structures of the Hexachlorometalates NH₄[SbCl₆], NH₄[WCl₆], [K(18‐crown‐6)(CH₂Cl₂)]₂[WCl₆]·6CH₂Cl₂ and (PPh₄)₂[WCl₆]·4CH₃CN The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined by single crystal X‐ray methods. NH₄[SbCl₆] and NH₄[WCl₆] crystallize isotypically in the space group C2/c with four formula units per unit cell. The NH₄⁺ ions occupy a twofold crystallographic axis, whereas the metal atoms of the [MCl₆]^— ions occupy a centre of inversion. There exist weak interionic hydrogen bridges. [K(18‐crown‐6)(CH₂Cl₂)]₂[WCl₆]·6CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group R3¯/m with Z = 3. The compound forms centrosymmetric ion triples, in which the potassium ions are coordinated with a WCl₃ face each. In trans‐position to it the chlorine atom of a CH₂Cl₂ molecule is coordinated so that, together with the oxygen atoms of the crown ether, coordination number 10 is achieved. (PPh₄)₂[WCl₆]·4CH₃CN crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 4. This compound, too, forms centrosymmetric ion triples, in which in addition the acetonitrile molecules are connected with the [WCl₆]^2— ion via weak C—H···Cl contacts.     

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.
