Preparation and Crystal Structure of (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅]. The Crystal Chemistry of the Compounds (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅], [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂, and M₂VXCl₅ with M = K, NH₄, Rb, Cs and X ? Cl, O (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅] crystallizes like [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with Z = 4. The compounds are built up by isolated NH₄⁺ or Cl^? and complex MX₅Y ions. The following distances have been observed: V? N: 213.8, V? Cl: 235.8–239.1, Rh? N: 207.1–208.5, Rh? Cl: 235.5 pm. Both structures differ from the K₂PtCl₆ type mainly in the ordering of the MX₅Y polyhedra. The compounds M₂VCl₆ and M₂VOCl₅ with M = K, NH₄, Rb, and Cs crystallize with exception of the orthorhombic K₂VOCl₅ in the K₂PtCl₆ type. The ordering of the MX₅Y polyhedra in the compounds (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅], [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ and K₂VOCl₅ enables a closer packing.     

Chloroselenate mit zwei- und vierwertigem Selen: 77Se-NMR-Spektren,Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2SeCl6 · 2 CH2Cl2, (NMe3Ph)2SeCl6, (K-18-Krone-6)2SeCl6 · 2 CH3CN,PPh4Se2Cl9, (NEt4)2Se2Cl10, (PPh4)2Se3Cl8 · CH2Cl2 und (PPh4)2Se4Cl12 · CH2Cl2

Chloroselenates with Di- and Tetravalent Selenium: ⁷⁷Se-NMR-Spectra, Syntheses, and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂SeCl₆ · 2 CH₂Cl₂, (NMe₃Ph)₂SeCl₆, (K-18-crown-6)₂SeCl₆ · 2 CH₃CN, PPh₄Se₂Cl₉, (NEt₄)₂Se₂Cl₁₀, (PPh₄)₂Se₃Cl₈ · CH₂Cl₂, and (PPh₄)₂Se₄Cl₁₂ · CH₂Cl₂ The title compounds were obtained from reactions of selenium and selenium tetrachloride with PPh₄Cl, NEt₄Cl, NMe₃PhCl, or (K-18-crown-6)Cl in dichloromethane or acetonitrile. (PPh₄)₂Se₃Cl₈ · CH₂Cl₂ was also formed from GeSe, PPh₄Cl and chlorine in acetonitrile. The ⁷⁷Se-NMR spectra of the solutions show the presence of dynamical equilibria which, depending on composition, mainly contain SeCl₂, SeCl₄, Se₂Cl₂, SeCl₆^2–, Se₂Cl₆^2–, and/or Se₂Cl₁₀^2–. Solutions of AsCl₃ and (PPh₄)₂Se₄ in acetonitrile upon chlorination with Cl₂ or PPh₄AsCl₆ yielded (PPh₄)₂Se₂Cl₆, while (PPh₄)₂As₂Se₄Cl₁₂ was the product after chlorination with SOCl₂. According to the X-ray crystal structure analyses the ions SeCl₆^2–, Se₂Cl₉^–, and Se₂Cl₁₀^2– have the known structures with octahedral coordination of the Se atoms. The structure of the Se₃Cl₈^2– ion corresponds to that of Se₃Br₈^2– consisting of three SeCl₂ molecules associated via two Cl^– ions. (PPh₄)₂Se₄Cl₁₂ · CH₂Cl₂ is isotypic with the corresponding bromoselenate and contains anions in which three SeCl₂ molecules are attached to a SeCl₆^2– ion; there is a peculiar Se–Se interaction.
