(C2H10N2)[BPO4F2] — Structural Relations between [BPO4F2]2— and [Si2O6]4—

(C₂H₁₀N₂)[BPO₄F₂] — Strukturbeziehungen zwischen [BPO₄F₂]^2— und [Si₂O₆]^4— Colourless crystals of (C₂H₁₀N₂)[BPO₄F₂] were prepared from mixture of ethylendiamine, H₃BO₃, BF₃ · C₂H₅NH₂, H₃PO₄ and HCl under mild hydrothermal conditions (220 °C). The crystal structure was determined by single crystal methods (triclinic, P1¯ (no. 2), a = 451.85(5) pm, b = 710.20(8) pm, c = 1210.2(2) pm, α = 86.08(1)°, β = 88.52(2)°, γ = 71.74(1)°, Z = 2) and contains infinite tetrahedral zweier‐single‐chains {[BPO₄F₂]^2—} which are isoelectronic (48e^—) with the polyanions {[Si₂O₆]^4—} of the pyroxene family.     

Darstellung und Struktur der Komplexverbindungen trans‐[CoIII(py)4F2][H2F3] und [Pd(py)4]F2 · 1,5 HF · 2 H2O

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Complexes trans ‐[Co^III(py)₄F₂][H₂F₃] and [Pd(py)₄]F₂ · 1.5 HF · 2 H₂O The cobalt complex trans‐[Co(III)(py)₄F₂][H₂F₃] ( 1 ) has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation of CoF₂ in a pyridine/HF mixture and the palladium complex [Pd(py)₄]F₂ · 1.5 HF · 2 H₂O ( 2 ) has been obtained via halogen exchange between Pd(py)₂Cl₂ and AgF₂ in pyridine. 1 and 2 crystallize in the space group C2/c with a = 27.928(14), b = 9.019(3), c = 18.335(8) Å, β = 113.41(3)° for 1 and a = 28.183(9), b = 9.399(3), c = 17.397(6) Å, β = 104.66(3)° for 2 , respectively. Concerning the shape and location of the M(py)₄ fragments 1 and 2 are isostructural. The metal atoms occupy special positions in their unit cells with the result that four complex atoms have C₂ symmetry and four complex cations have C_i symmetry giving a total of Z = 8. In 1 two F^– ions complete an octahedral coordination around the Co atoms (Co–F 1.820(2) to 1.834(3) Å). In 2 the shortest Pd–F distance is 3.031(2) Å. This precludes the existence of Pd–F bonds. In 1 one can identify H₂F₃^– groups. In 2 there are larger aggregates, consisting of F^–, HF, and H₂O subunits, connected by H‐bridges. In spite of these differences, both complexes belong to the same type of structure, which may be of a common type M^x+(py)₄F_x · y HF · z H₂O.     

Dinuclear Manganese(II) Complexes with Bridging Selenidodiarsenate Anions [As2Se4]4−, [As2Se5]4− and [As2Se6]2−

Solvothermal reaction of [MnCl₂(amine)] (amine = terpy and tren) with elemental As and Se at a 1:1:2 molar ratio in H₂O/tren (10:1) affords the dimanganese(II) complexes [{Mn(terpy)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₄)] ( 1 ) and [{Mn(tren)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₅)] ( 2 ) respectively. The tetradentate [As₂Se₄]^4? bridging ligands in 1 contain a central As–As bond and exhibit approximately C_2h symmetry. Pairs of gauche sited Se atoms participate in five‐membered As₂Se₂Mn chelate rings. In contrast, two AsSe₃ pyramids share a common corner in the [As₂Se₅]^4? ligands of 2 and each coordinates an [Mn(tren)]²⁺ fragment through a single terminal Se atom. Such dinuclear complexes are linked into tetranuclear moieties through weak Se···Mn interactions of length 3.026(3) Å involving one of these terminal Se atoms. At a 1:3:6 molar ratio, solvothermal reaction of [MnCl₂(tren)] with As and Se leads to formation of a second dinuclear complex [{Mn(tren)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₆)₂] ( 3 ), which contains two bridging bidentate [As₂Se₆]^2? ligands. These are cyclic with an As₂Se₄ ring and can be regarded as being derived from [As₂Se₅]^4? anions by formation of two Se‐Se bonds to an additional Se atom.     

Sind die ‚Lehrbuch-Anionen’︁ O2−, [CO3]2− und [SO4]2− Fiktionen?

Are the ‘Textbook Anions’ O^2?, [CO₃]^2?, and [SO₄]^2? Fictitious? Experimental second electron affinities are still unknown for the title anions. It will be shown by means of quantum chemical ab initio calculations that these dianions are unstable with respect to spontaneous ionization. They all must be designated as non-existent.     

2‐Imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazole as a π‐Ligand: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [(CuCl)C10H10SN2], [C10H11SN2+]2[Cu2Cl4]2−, and [C10H11SN2+]2[Cu2Br4]2− π‐Compounds

The reaction of 2‐amino‐benzothiazole with allyl bromide resulted in a mixture of 2‐imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazole and 2‐imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazolium bromide.Using such a mixture and copper(II) chloride in acetonitrile solution in alternating‐current electrochemical synthesis crystals of the [(CuCl)C₁₀H₁₀SN₂] ( I ) have been obtained. The same procedure, performed in ethanol solution, has led to formation of [C₁₀H₁₁SN₂⁺]₂[Cu₂Cl₄]^2? ( II ). In the same manner the bromine derivative [C₁₀H₁₁SN₂⁺]₂[Cu₂Br₄]^2? ( III ) has been synthesized. All three compounds were X‐ray structurally investigated. I :monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 13.789(6), b = 6.297(3), c = 13.830(6) Å, β = 112.975(4)°, V = 1105.6 (9) ų, Z = 4 for CuCl·C₁₀H₁₀ SN₂ composition. Compounds II and III are isomorphous and crystallize in triclinic space group. II a = 7.377(3), b = 8.506(3), c = 9.998(4) Å, α = 79.892(10)°, β = 82.704(13)°, γ = 78.206(12)°, V = 601.9(4) ų, Z = 1. III a = 7.329(2), b = 8.766(3), c = 10.265(3) Å, α = 79.253(9)°, β = 82.625(9)°, γ = 77.963(9)°, V = 630.9(3) ų, Z = 1. In the structure I [(CuCl)C₁₀H₁₀SN₂] building blocks are bound into infinitive spiral‐like chains via strong N‐H..Cl hydrogen bonds. In the zwitter‐ionic II and III compounds copper and halide atoms form centrosymmetric [Cu₂X₄]^2? anions, which are interconnected via N‐H..X hydrogen bonds into infinite butterfly‐like chains. The strongest Cu‐(C=C) π‐interaction has been observed in structure I , where copper possesses coordination number 3. Increasing copper coordination number to 4 in II as well as replacing chlorine atoms by bromine ones in III suppresses markedly this interaction.
