Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [(Ph₃As)₂CCN–MnBr₃], [(Ph₃As)₂CCN–CoBr₃], and [(Ph₃As)₂CCN]⁺CuBr₂^– The di(arsa)acetonitrilium bromide [(Ph₃As)₂CCN]Br reacts with the anhydrous dibromides of manganese and cobalt in acetonitrile to form the molecular complexes [(Ph₃As)₂CCN–MBr₃] [M = ( 1 ), Co( 2 )] with zwitterionic structures. With copper(I)bromide, however, the ionic compound [(Ph₃As)₂CCN]⁺CuBr₂^– ( 3 ) is formed. All complexes are characterized by IR spectroscopy and by crystal structure analyses. 1 and 2 crystallize isotypically with each other in the space group P 1 with two formula units per unit cell. The MBr₃^– fragments in the molecular complexes are connected to the N atom of the [(Ph₃As)₂CCN]⁺ cation showing bond angles C–N–Mn of 156.9° and C–N–Co of 161°, and distances Mn–N of 215.6 pm and Co–N of 201 pm.

The Preparation and X-Ray Structure of [AsPh4][Ph2P(S)NSiMe3] · 0.5 THF

The reaction of Ph₂P(S)N(SiMe₃)₂ with potassium tert-butoxide in a 1:1 molar ratio produces K[Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃], which was converted to the AsPh₄⁺ salt by metathesis with [AsPh₄]Cl. The X-ray crystal structure of [AsPh₄][Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃] · 0.5 THF consists of noninteracting AsPh₄⁺ and Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃^? ions with d(P? S) = 1.980(4) Å and d(P? N) = 1.555(8) Å. The PNSi bite angle in the anion is 136.3(5)°. Electrophilic attack by Ph₂P(S)Cl occurs at the sulfur atom of Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃^?. The oxidation of the anion with iodine produces a disulfide which regenerates K[Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₂] upon treatment with potassium tert-butoxide.

Crystal Structures of the Azido Platinates (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₄] and (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₆] The crystal structures of the two homoleptic azido platinates (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₄] ( 1 ) and (AsPh₄)₂[Pt(N₃)₆] ( 2 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction at single crystals. In 1 the [Pt(N₃)₄]^2– ions are without crystallographic site‐symmetry, and the platinum atoms show a planar surrounding. The [Pt(N₃)₆]^2– ions in 2 are centrosymmetric (C_i) with an octahedral surrounding at the platinum atoms. While 1 is highly explosive, 2 is of significantly greater stability. This behaviour is explained by the packing conditions. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 6, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1045.3(1), b = 1620.2(1), c = 4041.0(3) pm; β = 96.70(1)°; R₁ = 0.0654. 2 : Space group P1, Z = 1, lattice dimenstions at –80 °C: a = 1027.6(1), b = 1049.1(2), c = 1249.9(3) pm; α = 88.27(1)°, β = 74.13(1)°, γ = 67.90(1)°; R₁ = 0.0417.

One S₃N^? and one S₅^2? are coordinate as chelate ligands to Pd. From S₇NH, Pd(CN)₂, and XOH X = [(CH₃)₄N]⁺ and [(C₆H₅)₄P]⁺ the salts X[Pd(S₃N)(CN)₂] were formed. The (CH₃)₄N-salt is isomorphous with the analogous Ni compound described earlier, the (C₆H₅)₄P-salt is triclinic, a = 9.372(4), b = 10.202(5), c = 13.638(6) Å, α = 86.36α(4), β = 85.66°(4), γ = 88.71°(4), Z = 2, space group P1 .

In contrast to the chloroarsenates(III) 2 – 5 , which all contain isolated ψ-trigonal bipyramidal anions [RAsCl₃]^–, the analogous bromoarsenates(III) 6 – 8 exhibit dimeric structures. Whereas the trans sited As–Cl distances in 2 and 3 are very similar a pronounced degree of asymmetry is apparent for the Cl–As–Cl three-centre bonds in 4 and 5 [2.396(1) and 2.602(1) Å in 5]. In 6 and 7 C_i symmetry related RAsBr₂ units are connected through long As…Br bonds [2.926(1) and 3.116(2) Å in 6 ]. The bromophenylarsenate(III) anion of 8 which contains two effectively undistorted ψ-trigonal bipyramids [PhAsBr₃]^– associated by weak As…Br interactions [3.117(2) Å]. In view of its very long bridging As…Cl distances the [Me₂As₂Cl₅]^– anion in 1 can, as 6 an 7 , be regarded as two MeAsCl₂ molecules weakly linked through a chloride ion.

In the structure of 4 the thiocyanate ions are associated by hydrogen bonds of the NH₂ group of the [Ph₃PNH₂]⁺ ion to give a zigzag chain. 1 : Space group Pbca, Z = 4, lattice constants at –80 °C: a = 1647.9(3), b = 1460.8(2), c = 1810.4(4) pm; R₁ = 0.0981. 2 : Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice constants at –80 °C: a = 1162.5(1), b = 1238.0(1), c = 2346.2(2) pm; α = 103.14(1)°, β = 90.13(1)°, γ = 97.66(1)°; R₁ = 0.0423. 3 : Space group Fdd2, Z = 8, lattice constants at –80 °C: a = 3310.1(4), b = 2059.7(2), c = 966,7(1) pm; R₁ = 0.0696. 4 : Space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4, lattice constants at –80 °C: a = 1118.4(1), b = 1206.7(1), c = 1279.9(1) pm; R₁ = 0.0311.     

Synthese,Struktur und Eigenschaften der Komplexe [(H2O)Cl4Os≡N‐IrCl(C5Me5)(AsPh3)], [(Ph3Sb)Cl4Os≡N‐IrCl(C5Me5)(SbPh3)], [(Ph3Sb)2Cl3Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] und [{(Me2PhP)2(CO)Cl2Re≡N}2ReNCl2(PMe2Ph)]

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of the Complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] and [{(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] The dinuclear complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)]·H₂O ( 1 ·H₂O), [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)] ( 2 ), and [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] ( 3 ) result from the reaction of the nitrido complexes [(Ph₃As)₂OsNCl₃] and [(Ph₃Sb)₂OsNCl₃] with the iridium compounds [IrCl₂(C₅Me₅)]₂ and [IrCl(COD)]₂ in dichloromethane. 1 crystallizes as 1 ·H₂O in form of green platelets in the monoclinic space group Cm and a = 1105.53(6); b = 1486.76(9); c = 2024.88(10) pm, β = 97.191(4)°, Z = 4. The formation of 1 in air involves a ligand exchange, and the coordination of a water molecule in trans position to the Os‐N triple bond. The resulting complex fragments [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)] are connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir. The nitrido bridge is characterised by an Os‐N‐Ir bond angle of 173.7(7)°, and distances Os‐N = 168(1) pm and Ir‐N = 191(1) pm. 2 crystallizes in clumped together brown platelets with the space group and a = 1023.3(3), b = 1476.2(3), c = 1872.5(6) pm, α = 74.60(2), β = 73.84(2), γ = 76.19(2)°, Z = 2. In 2 the asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir joins the two complex fragments [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], which are formed by a ligand exchange reaction. 3 forms dark green crystals with the triclinic space group and a = 1079.4(1), b = 1172.3(1), c = 1696.7(2) pm, α = 101.192(9),β = 92.70(1), γ = 92.61(1)°, Z = 2. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Os≡N‐Ir = 175.3(7)°) are Os‐N = 171(1) pm and Ir‐N = 183(1) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [Mo(CO)₃(NCMe)₃] unexpectedly affords the trinuclear complex [{(Me₂PhP)₂(OC)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] ( 4 ) as the main product. It forms triclinic brown crystals with the composition 4 ·2THF and the space group (a = 1382.70(7), b = 1498.58(7), c = 1760.4(1) pm, α = 99.780(7), β = 99.920(7), γ = 114.064(6)°, Z = 2). In the trinuclear complex, the central fragment, [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] is joined in trans position to two nitrido complexes [(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N], giving an almost linear Re≡N‐Re‐N≡Re arrangement. The bond angles and distances in the nitrido bridges are Re‐N‐Re = 167.8(3)°, Re‐N = 171.1(8) pm and 204.2(8) pm; and Re‐N‐Re = 168.1(4)°, Re‐N = 170.9(9) and 203.5(9) pm respectively. As expected, the Re‐N bond length to the terminal nitrido ligand on the central Re atom is much shorter at 161.2(9) pm than the triple bonds of the asymmetric bridges.

In the polymeric anions [Ag₂(NO₃)₃]^? each silver atom is coordinated in a chelating manner by one nitrate group and by two oxygen atoms of two bridging nitrate ions. In addition, each silver atom forms a weak π‐bonding contact with a phenyl group of the (Ph₄P)⁺ ions with shortest Ag···C separations of 266 and 299 pm, respectively, indicating a (4+1) coordination of silver atoms.

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.

They were characterized from complete X-ray structure analysis. Yellow-orange [Ph₃(C₂H₄OH)P]₂[SeCl₄] · MeCN (space group P1 , a = 10.535(4), b = 12.204(5), c = 16.845(6) Å, α = 77.09(3)°, β = 76.40(3)°, γ = 82.75(3)° at 140 K) contains in its crystal structure monomeric [SeCl₄]^2? anions with square-planar coordination of Se(+II). The mean Se? Cl bond length is 2.441 Å. In yellow [Ph₄P]₂[Se₂Cl₆] (space group P1 , a = 10.269(3), b = 10.836(4), c = 10.872(3) Å, α = 80.26(3)°, β = 79.84(2)°, γ = 72.21(3)° at 140 K) a dinuclear centrosymmetric [Se₂Cl₆]^2? anion, also with square-planar coordinated Se(+II), is observed.
