Peroxide derivatives of heteropoly compounds with Keggin anions [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3? and [SiW₁₂O₄₀]^4? are isolated in an individual state from concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions and characterized by physicochemical methods. The structure of Ba₂[SiW₁₂O₄₀] · 4H₂O₂ · 11H₂O (I) is solved by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of compound I (H₃₀Ba₂O₅₉Si₁W₁₂, FW = 3483.21) are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 24.981(2) Å, b = 12.2103(11) Å, c = 18.7142(17) Å, β = 122.620(2)^o, V = 4808.0(8) ų, Z = 4. The structure contains Keggin anions [SiW₁₂O₄₀]^4?; all hydrogen peroxide molecules are coordinated to Ba²⁺ cations.     

Interaction of [В<Subscript>10</Subscript>H<Subscript>10</Subscript>]<Superscript>2–</Superscript> and [В<Subscript>12</Subscript>H<Subscript>12</Subscript>]<Superscript>2–</Superscript> with nitro compounds

The interaction of the [B₁₀H₁₀]^2– and [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– anions with aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds (RNO₂, where R = Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, tert-Bu, Ph) has been studied under irradiation with visible and UV light. It has been shown that, depending on the reaction conditions, both mono- and disubstituted nitro-closo-decaborates can be selectively obtained in yields up to 50%.     

Bond variations in the complexes [CuCl<Subscript>6</Subscript>]<Superscript>4−</Superscript>

An extended version of the angular overlap model developed from the fourth-order variational perturbation theory was used to explain why sd mixing for [CuCl₆]^4? and other pseudooctahedral complexes [CuL₆]^n? with the split ground state ² E is responsible for strong softening of the vibrational E mode, which results in lengthening and even cleavage of the bonds between the metal atom and the axial ligands.     

Structures of the complex ions [CuCl<Subscript>4</Subscript>]<Superscript>2−</Superscript> and [CuCl<Subscript>5</Subscript>]<Superscript>3−</Superscript>

The electronic structures of the complex ions [CuCl₄]^2? and [CuCl₅]^3? were analyzed in terms of the extended angular overlap model (AOM) with consideration to sd and pd mixing. The total antibonding orbital energies of these ions show no anomalies in the transition from a tetrahedron to a planar square [CuCl₄]^2? and from a trigonal bipyramid to a tetragonal pyramid [CuCl₅]^3?. Presumably, the existence of numerous intermediate forms of these complexes is mainly due to the packing effects rather than the electronic factors.

The cyclic voltammetric measurements illustrate that the [PMo₁₂O₄₀]³⁻ polyanion is the electrochemical redox active center of I in the solution.

The influence of the chemical composition of the initial reagents on the reaction course and, respectively, the products, has been demonstrated. A hypothesis on the influence of the second coordination sphere on the formation of one or the other polymorph of the DCS has been suggested.

Structure of sulfanilamide-containing cobalt(III) dioximates with the [ZrF<Subscript>6</Subscript>]<Superscript>2−</Superscript> and [BF<Subscript>4</Subscript>]<Superscript>−</Superscript> anions

The complexes [Co(DH)₂(Sam)₂]₂[ZrF₆]·5H₂O (I) and [Co(DH)₂(Sam)₂][BF₄]·H₂O (II), where DH^? is the dimethylglyoxime monoanion, and Sam is para-aminobenzenesulfamide (sulfanilamide, white streptocid), were synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The coordination polyhedron of the Co³⁺ atom is an N₆ octahedron formed by four nitrogen atoms of the two dimethylglyoxime residues and two nitrogen atoms of the Sam fragments. The latter are realized in virtually parallel orientation relative to the polyhedron of the metal atom and its equatorial plane; the average value of the dihedral angles is 26.8(1)°, and there is π-π interaction between the benzene rings of the Sam fragments and the π delocalized equatorial metallocycle. The deviation of the cobalt atom from the four-angle plane is up to 0.009(1) Å. The (Co-N)_DH? and (Co-N)_Sam distances in the [Co(DH)₂(Sam)₂]⁺ complex cations vary from 1.892(2) Å to 1.907(3) Å and from 2.000(2) Å to 2.012(2) Å, respectively. The [ZrF₆]^2? and [BF₄]^? complex anions play the major role in crystal formation; they produce a substantial effect on the formation of a complex system of hydrogen bonds.
