(E = N, C(CN); Y = C(CN)₂) The electronic structure and the ambidence of pseudochalcogen modified nitrite ions are discussed on the basis of a quantum chemical MNDO study in connection with structural, ESCA and ¹³C NMR data.     

Pseudochalkogenverbindungen. XIV. Die Synthese von Trimethylcyanamidophosphaten,ein Beitrag zur Ambivalenz der Cyanamidophosphat-lonen, [PO4−n(NCN)n]3−

Possible dochalcogeno Compounds. XIV. Synthesis of Trimethylcyanamidophosphates, a Contribution to the Ambivalency of Cyanamidophosphate Ions, [PO_4?n(NCN)_n]^3? Possible synthetic routes for isomeric trimethylcyanamidophosphates of the types P(O)(OMe)₂(N(CN)Me), P(O)(OMe)₂(NCNMe), P(NCN)(OMe)₃ as well as further compounds of the general formula P(O)(OMe)_3?n{N(CN)Me}_n are described. Influences of reaction media and counterion on the reaction site of the ambivalent monocyanamidophosphate ion, [PO₃NCN]^3? are discussed. The structures of the different trimethylcyanamidophosphates and of related compounds are discussed on the basis of their i.r. and n.m.r. spectra.     

Pseudochalkogen-Verbindungen. XVI. IR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen an Cyanamidomonophosphaten, [PO4−n (NCN)n]3−

Pseudochalkogen Compounds. XVI. Infrared-spectroscopic Investigations of Cyanamidomonophosphates, [PO_4?n(NCN)_n]^3? Infrared spectroscopic investigations of trisodium cyanamidomonophosphates of the general type Na₃[PO_4?n(NCN)_n] · aq (n: 1, 2, 3) are reported. The vibrational spectra of the compounds are confirming very clearly the special position of cyanamidophosphates within the group of substituted phosphates: Cyanamidophosphates are characterized by a full participation of pseudochalkogen groups representing NCN substituents into the mesomeric system of the anions and an only slight shortening of the P? O distances in comparision to [PO₄]^3?. Characteristic frequencies between 970 and 1150 cm^?1 are attributed to v(PO_4?nN_n)-stretching frequencies. A partial ¹⁵N labelling of the monocyanamidophosphate anion, [PO₃NCN]^3? leads to some splitting or shifting of frequencies being connected with vibrations of the NCN group; isolated v(P? N) stretching frequencies cannot be found.     

Pseudoelementverbindungen. XI. [1] Untersuchungen zum Komplexbildungsverhalten von Cyanamidonitrat [NO2NCN]−

Pseudoelement Compounds. XI. [1] Investigations on the Coordination Behaviour of Cyanamidonitrate [NO₂NCN]^? With the ionic, potentially ambidentate ligand cyanamidonitrate complexes of the types [MX(PPh₃)₃], [MX(PPh₃)₂]₂ (M?Cu^I, Ag^I) and trans-[Pt(H)X(PPh₃)₂] (X^??[NO₂NCN]^?) are introduced. The new compounds are characterized by ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of [Cu(NO₂NCN)(PPh₃)₂]₂ and [Ag(NO₂NCN)(PPh₃)₂]₂ are reported. In the complexes [MX(PPh₃)₃] and trans-[Pt(H)X(PPh₃)₂] cyanamidonitrate is unidentately coordinated through the nitrile group end-on. In the dimeric complexes [MX(PPh₃)₂]₂ the anion acts bidentately as a bridging ligand. Surprisingly, both coordinative bonds are formed through nitrogen atoms of the NCN group.     

Salts of HCN‐Cyanide Aggregates: [CN(HCN)2]− and [CN(HCN)3]−

Although pure hydrogen cyanide can spontaneously polymerize or even explode, when initiated by small amounts of bases (e.g. CN^?), the reaction of liquid HCN with [WCC]CN (WCC=weakly coordinating cation=Ph₄P, Ph₃PNPPh₃=PNP) was investigated. Depending on the cation, it was possible to extract salts containing the formal dihydrogen tricyanide [CN(HCN)₂]^? and trihydrogen tetracyanide ions [CN(HCN)₃]^? from liquid HCN when a fast crystallization was carried out at low temperatures. X‐ray structure elucidation revealed hydrogen‐bridged linear [CN(HCN)₂]^? and Y‐shaped [CN(HCN)₃]^? molecular ions in the crystal. Both anions can be considered members of highly labile cyanide‐HCN solvates of the type [CN(HCN)_n]^? (n=1, 2, 3 …) as well as formal polypseudohalide ions.

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.

By treatment of Na₂[IrCl₆] with NaSCN in 2N HCl the linkage isomers trans-[IrCl₂(SCN)₄]^3? and trans-[IrCl₂(NCS)(SCN)₃]^3? are formed which have been separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. X-ray structure determinations on single crystals of trans-(n-Bu₄N)₃[IrCl₂(SCN)₄] ( 1 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 18.009(4), b = 15.176(3), c = 23.451(4) Å, β = 93.97(2)°, Z = 4) and trans-(Me₄N)₃[IrCl₂(NCS)(SCN)₃] ( 2 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 17.146(5), b = 9.583(5), c = 18.516(5) Å, β = 109.227(5)°, Z = 4) reveal the complete ordering of the complex anions. The via S or N coordinated thiocyanate groups are bonded with Ir? S? C angles of 105.7–109.7° and the Ir? N? C angle of 171.4°. The torsion angles Cl? Ir? S? C and N? Ir? S? C are 3.6–53.0°. The IR and Raman spectra of ( 1 ) are assigned by normal coordinate analysis using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determination.

Dicyanmethanido- und Cyanamido-oxoanionen. Untersuchungen zum sauerstoffanalogen Charakter der C(CN)2- und NCN-Gruppen

The equivalence of the C(CN)₂- and the NCN-groups with oxygen in the series of homologous ions C(CN), N(CN), OCN^? and NOC(CN), NO causes us to postulate a more general value of this relation. Arguments for the formulation of a pseudochalkogen series C(CN)₂? NCN? O are discussed.

Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren der Komplexe [MBr6]−, [Br5MN3]− und [Br5MNPPh3]− von Niob und Tantal Die Kristallstruktur von PPh4[NbBr6]

Preparation and vibrational spectra of the complexes [MBr₆]^?, [Br₅MN₃]^? and [Br₅MNPPh₃]^? of niobium and tantalum. Cyrstal structure of PPh₄[NbBr₆] The compounds PPh₄[MBr₆] and PPh₄[MBr₅N₃] are obtained by reaction of MBr₅ with PPh₄Br or PPh₄N₃, respectively, in CH₂Cl₂ solution (M ? Nb, Ta). The azido complexes PPh₄[MBr₅N₃] can also be obtained by reactions of the hexabromo complexes with iodine azide. According to its i.r. spectrum the symmetry of the [MBr₆]^? ion is lower than O_h in the solide state. This is corfirmed for PPh₄[NbBr₆] by a crystal structure analysis; it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group B2/b with four formula units in the unit cell and with the lattice constants a = 2301, b = 1777, c = 686 pm and γ = 96,6°. The structure was determined with X-ray diffraction data and was refined to a residual index of R = 0.055. The [NbBr₆]^? ion has the symmetry C_i, the deviations from O_h being small. In the azido complexes [MBr₅N₃]^? the azido groups are covalently linked with the metal. From [NbBr₅N₃]^? and PPh₃ the complex [Br₅Nb?N?PPh₃]^?, is obtained; for the analogous formation of the corresponding Ta complex photochemical activation is necessary. In this way the complex [Cl₅Nb?N?AsPh₃]^? can also be obtained. I.r. spectra of all the compounds are reported and assigned.     

Structural and Spectroscopic Studies of Halocuprate(I) and Haloargentate(I) Complexes [M2XnX′4−n]2−

The complexes [Cu₂Br₄]^2?, [Cu₂I₄]^2?, [Cu₂I₂Br₂]^2?, [Cu₂I₃Cl]^2?, [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? have been characterized as their isomorphous bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium ([Ph₃PNPPh₃]⁺ = PNP⁺) salts by single crystal structural determinations. All anions show the centrosymmetric doubly halogen‐bridged forms [XM(μ‐X)₂MX]^2? with three‐coordinate metal atoms that have been observed in [M₂X₄]^2? complexes with other large organic cations. In [Cu₂I₂Br₂]^2? the iodide ligands occupy the bridging positions and the bromide the terminal positions, while in [Cu₂I₃Cl]^2?, obtained in an attempt to prepare [Cu₂I₂Cl₂]^2?, two of the iodide ligands occupy the bridging positions with the third iodide and the chloride ligand occupying two statistically disordered terminal positions. In [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? the distortion from ideal trigonal coordination of the metal atom is greater than in the copper complexes, but less than in other previously reported [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? complexes with organic cations. The ν(MX) bands have been assigned in the far‐IR spectra, and confirm previous observations regarding the unexpectedly simple IR spectra of [Cu₂X₄]^2? complexes.     

Coordination of Alkaline Earth Metal Ions in the Inverted Cucurbit[7]uril Supramolecular Assemblies Formed in the Presence of [ZnCl4]2− and [CdCl4]2−

A convenient method to isolate inverted cucurbit[7]uril (iQ[7]) from a mixture of water‐soluble Q[n]s was established by eluting the soluble mixture of Q[n]s on a Dowex (H⁺ form) column so that iQ[7] could be selected as a ligand for coordination and supramolecular assembly with alkaline earth cations (AE²⁺) in aqueous HCl solutions in the presence of [ZnCl₄]^2? and [CdCl₄]^2? anions as structure‐directing agents. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that both iQ[7]–AE²⁺–[ZnCl₄]^2?–HCl and iQ[7]–AE²⁺–[CdCl₄]^2?–HCl interaction systems yielded supramolecular assemblies, in which the [ZnCl₄]^2? and [CdCl₄]^2? anions presented a honeycomb effect, and this resulted in the formation of linear iQ[7]/AE²⁺ coordination polymers through outer‐surface interactions of Q[n]s.

Short Na…?F contacts of 234 pm with the four axial fluoro ligands of the dimeric anion [MoNF₄]₂^2? allow formulation of a triple ion. The centrosymmetric anion is dimerized by bent fluoro bridges with Mo? F distances of 198 and 245 pm. The long Mo? F distances of the MoF₂Mo ring are in transposition to the nitrido ligands, the bond lengths of which (165 pm) correspond to triple bonds.

The new compounds are representing polymer octahedral complexes with a bridging function of the dicyanamide ligands.     

Zwei Chloridsilicate des Yttriums: Y3Cl[SiO4]2 und Y6Cl10[Si4O12]

Two Chloride Silicates of Yttrium: Y₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ and Y₆Cl₁₀[Si₄O₁₂] The chloride‐poor yttrium(III) chloride silicate Y₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ crystallizes orthorhombically (a = 685.84(4), b = 1775.23(14), c = 618.65(4) pm; Z = 4) in space group Pnma. Single crystals are obtained by the reaction of Y₂O₃, YCl₃ and SiO₂ in the stoichiometric ratio 4 : 1 : 6 with ten times the molar amount of YCl₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes (7 d, 1000 °C) as colorless, strongly light‐reflecting platelets, insensitive to air and water. The crystal structure contains isolated orthosilicate units [SiO₄]^4– and comprises cationic layers {(Y2)Cl}²⁺ which are alternatingly piled parallel (010) with anionic double layers {(Y1)₂[SiO₄]₂}^2–. Both crystallographic different Y³⁺ cations exhibit coordination numbers of eight. Y1 is surrounded by one Cl^– and 7 O^2– anions as a distorted trigonal dodecahedron, whereas the coordination polyhedra around Y2 show the shape of bicapped trigonal prisms consisting of 2 Cl^– and 6 O^2– anions. The chloride‐rich chloride silicate Y₆Cl₁₀[Si₄O₁₂] crystallizes monoclinically (a = 1061,46(8), b = 1030,91(6), c = 1156,15(9) pm, β = 103,279(8)°; Z = 2) in space group C2/m. By the reaction of Y₂O₃, YCl₃ and SiO₂ in 2 : 5 : 6‐molar ratio with the double amount of YCl₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes (7 d, 850 °C), colorless, air‐ and water‐resistant, brittle single crystals emerge as pseudo‐octagonal columns. Here also a layered structure parallel (001) with distinguished cationic double‐layers {(Y2)₅Cl₉}⁶⁺ and anionic layers {(Y1)Cl[Si₄O₁₂]}^6– is present. The latter ones contain discrete cyclo‐tetrasilicate units [Si₄O₁₂]^8– of four cyclically corner‐linked [SiO₄] tetrahedra in all‐ecliptical arrangement. The coordination sphere around (Y1)³⁺ (CN = 8) has the shape of a slightly distorted hexagonal bipyramid comprising 2 Cl^– and 6 O^2– anions. The 5 Cl^– and 2 O^2– anions building the coordination polyhedra around (Y2)³⁺ (CN = 7) form a strongly distorted pentagonal bipyramid.

Mössbauer and vibrational spectra indicate for the anion of I a fluoro-bridged species, which is probably tetrameric like the isoelectronic SbCl₄F. For II dimeric moieties are proposed with bridging S-atoms, while [SnCl₄(NCS)₂]^2? has an octahedral structure with N-bonded isothiocyanate groups in the trans-positions.

By treatment of [B₆H₆]^2? with 1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-bis(tetrafluoroborate)in acetonitrile monofluorohydro-closo-hexaborate [B₆H₅F]^2? ( 1 ) is formed in good yields. [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? reacts with unhydrous HF yielding the monofluorododecaborate [B₁₂H₁₁F]^2? ( 2 ). These compounds are separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl(DEAE) cellulose from by-products. The ¹¹B nmr spectra exhibit the characteristic patterns (1 : 4 : 1) of a monosubstituted B₆ octahedron and (1 : 5 : 5 : 1) of a monosubstituted B₁₂ icosahedron with strong downfield shifts of the ipso-B nuclei at +9.3 ppm ( 1 ) and at +9.0 ppm ( 2 ). The ¹⁹F nmr spectra reveal quartets at ?212 ppm ( 1 ) and ?209 ppm ( 2 ) proving a B? F bonding. In the i.r. spectra, for ( 1 ) in the Raman spectrum too, cage vibrations depending on the F substituent at 1195 ( 1 ) and at 1182/1154 cm^?1 ( 2 ) are observed. The Raman spectra show the B₆F stretching mode at 535 cm^?1 and the B₁₂F stretching vibration at 445 cm^?1.     

Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren von Chloro-Bromo-Dirhodaten(III), [Rh2ClnBr9−n]3−, n = 0–9

Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Nonahalogenodirhodates(III), [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–9 The pure nonahalogenodirhodates(III), A₃[Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n], A = K, Cs, (TBA); n = 0–4, 9, have been prepared. They are formed from the monomer chlorobromorhodates(III), [RhCl_nBr_6-n]^3?, n = 0–6, which are bridged to confacial bioctahedral complexes by ligand abstraction in less polar organic solvents. From the mixtures the complexions are separated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The solid, air-stable, air-stable, K-, Cs- and (TBA)-salts of [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–4, are green, of [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are brown. The IR and Raman spectra of [Rh₂Br₉]^3? and [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are assigned according to the point group D_3h. The chlorobromodirhodates exist as mixtures of geometrical and structural isomers, which belong to different point groups. The vibrational spectra exhibit bands in characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(Rh—Cl_t): 360–320, v(Rh—Br_t): 280–250; in a middle region with bridging ligands v(Rh—Cl_b): 300–270, v(Rh—Br_b): 210–170 cm^?1; the deformation bands are observed at distinct lower frequencies. The terminal ligands are fixed very strong, and the distance between v(Rh—X_t) and v(Rh—X_b) increases with decreasing size of the cations.

Fluorination of neat (ClCN)₃ with [NF₄]⁺ [Sb₂F₁₁]^? yielded NF₃, CClF₃, SbF₃, N₂ and traces of CF₄. A qualitative scale for the oxidizing strength of the oxidative fluorinators NF₄⁺ and (XCN)₃F⁺ (X = H, F, Cl) has been computed ab initio.
