The cluster anion [Fe₃(μ₃-Se)(CO)₉]^2- (I) was isolated as a salt (Et₄N)₂[I] by the reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with Na₂Se in isopropanol. The protonated form, (μ-H)₂Fe₃(μ₃-Se)(CO)₉ (II), was obtained by acidifying the reaction mixture and used for the synthesis of the heterometallic cluster FeMo₂(μ₃-Se)(CO)₇Cp₂ (III), CP=η⁵-C₅H₅. The structure of I and III was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals I are monoclinic, a=14.210(3), b=11.547(3), c=19.831(2), Å, β=90.92(2)°, V_cell=3254(1) ų, space group P2/c, Z=4, d_calc=1.550 g/cm³, Syntex P2₁, λCuK_α, R(F)=0.1333 for 1264 F_hkl>6σ(F_hkl).

The structure of II was inferred from the Mössbauer, IR, and¹H and⁷⁷Se NMR spectroscopy data.     

On the preparation of binuclear S,S bridged molybdenum(V) complexes crystal and molecular structure of [Mo2S4(Et2dtc)2]

MoO₄^2? is reduced by diethyldithiocarbamate (Et₂dtc^?) on prolonged digestion in aqueous medium whereby the complex [Mo₂^VO₂S₂(Et₂dtc)₂] is formed. The central moiety Mo₂O₂S₂²⁺ has a high formation tendency. When [Mo₂^V(S₂)₆]^2? is refluxed with Et₂dtc^? in ethanol, [Mo₂^VS (Et₂dtc)₂] is formed, the X-ray crystal structure of which has been determined (space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 10.550(2) Å, b = 13.820(5) Å, c = 14.723(12) Å, d_c = 1.90 g · cm^3?, Z = 4). The Mo? Mo distance of the diamagnetic compound is 2.817(2) Å and the average Mo=S_t distance 2.099(4) Å.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of (Et4N)[{μ 3-SbI}Fe3(η 5-C5H5)(CO)10]

Crystal structure of (Et₄N)[{μ ₃-SbI}Fe₃-SbI}Fe₃Cp(CO)₁₀] was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound was synthesized by the reaction between (Et₄N)₂[Fe₂(CO)₈] and CpFe(CO)₂SbI₂ in a THF solution with cooling in an argon atmosphere. The crystals are monoclinic, a=12.792(2), b=14.152(3), c=17.373(3) Å, β=92.32(1)°, V_cell=3143(1) ų, space group P2₁/n, Z=4, d_calc=1.885 g/cm³, Syntex P2₁, λCuK_α radiation, R(F)=0.0744 for 877 F_hkl>6σ(F_hkl). The data were corrected for crystal decomposition according to the drop in the intensities of control reflections (by 23% during 29 h X-ray exposure). In the cluster anion, the Sb?Fe distances (ave. 2.57(1) Å) and the I?Sb?Fe and Fe?Sb?Fe angles (ave. 102.7(6) and 115.4(4)°) have virtually the same values as in other known complexes containing HalSbFe₃ and SbFe₄ fragments. The Fe...Fe distances of 4.312-4.369 Å indicate that the metal-metal bonds are absent.     

Collision-Induced Decomposition (CID) of Triangular [Mo3S7-xSex]4+ Complexes (x = 0,3,7). A liquid SIMS and FTMS/MS study of [Mo3S7-xSex(Et2NCS2)3] +

[Mo₃S(S₂)₃(dtc)₃]I, [Mo₃S(SeS)₃(dtc)₃](dtc), and [Mo₃Se(Se₂)₃(dtc)₃](dtc) (dtc = N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate) were investigated by liquid SIMS-FTMS. The fragmentation pathways were essentially the same for the three compounds and can be explained by two types of fragmentation processes: stepwise abstraction of S/Se atoms as exemplified by the series [Mo₃X_z(dtc)₃]⁺ (4 ? z ? 7, X = S, Se), and ligand dissociation, as indicated by the generation of [Mo₃X_z(dtc)₂]⁺ (5 ? z ? 7, X = S, Se). The exclusive elimination of the Se-atoms from [Mo₃S(S_ax-Se_eq)₃(dtc)₃]⁺ confirmed the inequivalent reactivity of the bridging atoms in axial and equatorial position as observed in previous studies. Collision-induced decomposition (CID) of [Mo₃S₇(dtc)₃]⁺ ( 1 ), [Mo₃S₆(dtc)₃]⁺ ( 2 ), [Mo₃S(S_ax–Se_eq)₃(dtc)₃]⁺ ( 3 ), and [Mo₃Se₇(dtc)₃]⁺ ( 4 ) revealed distinctly different fragmentation reactions for the SIMS and CID mode. CID of 1, 3 , and 4 resulted in a two-step reaction with the exclusive elimination of diatomic molecules XY (X,Y = S/Se). In the case of 3 , the selective elimination of Se₂ indicated the abstraction of two Se-atoms located in equatorial positions of two different bridging groups. This result is discussed in terms of mechanisms, based on labile M? X_eq and inert M? X_ax bonds with an intramolecular formation of a X₄ fragment prior to the elimination of X₂.

[Ph₄P]₂[In₂SCl₆] ( 1 ) (P1 ; a = 10.876(4) Å, b = 12.711(6) Å, c = 19.634(7) Å, α = 107.21(3)°, β = 96.80(3)°, γ = 109.78(3)°; Z = 2) and [Ph₄P]₂[In₂SBr₆] ( 2 ) (C2/c; a = 48.290(9) Å, b = 11.974(4) Å, c = 17.188(5) Å, β = 93.57(3)°, Z = 8) were prepared by reaction of InX₃, (CH₃)₃SiSSi(CH₃)₃ and Ph₄PX (X = Cl, Br) in acetonitrile. The reaction of MCl₃ (M = Ga, In) with Et₄NSH/Et₄NSeH in acetonitrile gave [Et₄N]₃[In₃S₃Cl₆] · MeCN ( 3 ) (P2₁/c; a = 17.328(4) Å, b = 12.694(3) Å, c = 21.409(4) Å, β = 112.18(1)°, Z = 4), [Et₄N]₃[In₃Se₃Cl₆] · MeCN ( 4 ) (P2₁/c; a = 17.460(4) Å, b = 12.816(2) Å, c = 21.513(4) Å, β = 112.16(2)°, Z = 4), and [Et₄N]₃[Ga₃S₃Cl₆] · THF ( 5 ) (P2₁/n; a = 11.967(3) Å, b = 23.404(9) Å, c = 16.260(3) Å, β = 90.75(2)°, Z = 4). The [In₂SX₆]^2? anions (X = Cl, Br) in 1 and 2 consist of two InSX₃ tetrahedra sharing a common sulfur atom. The frameworks of 3, 4 and 5 each contain a six-membered ring of alternating metal and chalcogen atoms. Two terminal chlorine atoms complete a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere around each metal atom.     

Periphere Anbindung von Quecksilber(II)-iodid an dreikernige Molybdän-Schwefel-Dithiophosphinatocluster: [Mo3S4(R2PS2)4HgI2] (R = Et,Pr)

Peripheral Bonding of Mercury(II) Iodide to Trinuclear Molybdenum-Sulfur-Dithiophosphinato Clusters: [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄HgI₂] (R = Et, Pr) Reaction of Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄ 1 (a : R = Et, b : R = Pr) with HgI₂ in THF yields the diamagnetic title complexes [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₄HgI₂] 3 . The crystal structure of [ 3a (H₂O)] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ shows the complexes to consist of a triangular array of Mo atoms which are bridged by μ₂? S atoms and capped by a μ₃? S atom. Each of the Mo atoms is chelated by a dithiophosphinato ligand Et₂PS₂^? and in addition two Mo atoms are bridged by a Et₂PS₂^? ligand while the H₂O molecule is bonded weakly to the third Mo atom. Thus, all Mo atoms reveal a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. HgI₂ is ?peripherally”? bonded to the cluster via two S atoms, one of which belongs to a chelating ligand and the other one to the bridging ligand. Space group P1 , lattice constants a = 12.157(2), b = 15.284(3), c = 16.049(3) Å, α = 115.56(1), β = 107.35(1), and γ = 94.62(1)°; Z = 2, d_calc = 2.23 mg/mm³; 4 236 observed reflections, R = 0.068. In organic solvents complexes 3 are strong electrolytes. VT-³¹P NMR data suggest a stepwise dissociation of 3 with formation of [Mo₃S₄(R₂PS₂)₃] ⁺[(R₂PS₂)HgI₂]^? and elimination of the bridging ligand from the cluster.     

The crystal structure of (NH4)2[Mo2(S2)6].8/3H2

The black crystal of (NH₄)[Mo₂(S₂)₆]* 8/3 H₂O belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group D³₂-P22₁2₁, with a = 12.064(6), b = 12.534(4), c = 19.558(9)Å, V =2957(3)ų, Z = 4 and D_c = 2.23g.cm^?3. The intensity data were collected on a Syntex R3 four-circle diffractometer. The structure was solved by Patterson method and direct method, the light atoms (except H atoms) were obtained from ΔF syntheses. The structure was refined by least-squares with anisotropic thermal parameters. The values of R and R_w were 0.092 and 0.072 respectively. The crystal structure contains discrete dimeric cluster [Mo₂(S₂)₆]^2? ions, NH₄⁺ cations and H₂O molecules. There are two crystallographically independent [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? ions in the crystal, one locates on general position [Figure 1(a)], the other locates on two-fold axis [Figure 1(b)]. It contains one and a half [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? ions in an asymmetric unit. In [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? each Mo is coordinated side on by four S₂^2? groups in a distorted dodecahedral arrangement, two of which are bridging and the other two are terminal. The Mo? S bond length is 2.441 Å (mean), and S? S is 2.049 Å (mean). The Mo? Mo distance is 2.784 Å (mean), which is to be regarded as a single bond length. The formal oxidation state of Mo is five, it is probably a mixed valence Mo^IV? Mo^VI, and so shows a remarkable deep colour.

Dithiolylium Chlorooxomolybdates(V): Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (C₃Cl₃S₂)[MoOCl₄] and (C₃Cl₃S₂)[Mo₂O₂Cl₇] The reaction of 3, 4, 5‐Trichlor‐1, 2‐dithiolylium chloride with MoOCl₃ in dichlormethane under solvothermal conditions at 65 °C simultaneously yields the green tetrachlorooxomolybdate(V) (C₃Cl₃S₂)[MoOCl₄] and the yellow‐brown heptachlorodioxodimolybdate(V) (C₃Cl₃S₂)[Mo₂O₂Cl₇]. The crystal structures of both compounds contain nearly planar (C₃Cl₃S₂)⁺ ions with a S—S bond length of 203 pm. The discrete [MoOCl₄]^— ion in the structure of (C₃Cl₃S₂)[MoOCl₄] has the shape of a square pyramid with the oxygen atom at the apex. The molybdenum atom is displaced by 58 pm from the basal plane towards the oxygen atom. The [Mo₂O₂Cl₇]^— ion in the structure of (C₃Cl₃S₂)[Mo₂O₂Cl₇] has the form of a face‐sharing double octahedron. It is formally composed of a [MoOCl₄]^— ion and a MoOCl₃ molecule connected by one symmetrical and two unsymmetrical chloro bridges. The molybdenum atoms placed in the centers of such connected octahedra are 357 pm apart, indicating no Mo—Mo bond.

Crystals 2 are triclinic, a = 9.671(3), b = 9.697(4), c = 11.039(4) Å, α = 89.86(3), β = 72.34(3), γ = 82.46(3)°, V_cell = 977.2(6) ų, space group P1, Z = 1, d^calc = 4.733 g/cm³, R(F) = 0.0490 for 3226 F_hkl > 4σ(F). In both structures, the [Re₆Te₈(CN)₆]^4? anions form a distorted primitive cubic packing with distances between the centers 9.02-9.63 Å in 1 and 9.70-11.04 Å in 2. The Cs⁺ cations in 1 lie near the face centers of the cubes formed by the onions. In 2, cation pairs (Ba²⁺)₂ bonded to two solvate water molecules are formed; the pairs lie at the centers of the anion cubes. In structures 1 and 2, there are shortened contacts between the tellurium atoms belonging to the neighboring anions (3.75-4.09 and 3.95-4.22 Å, respectively).     

Investigation of single MoFe3S4 cubane cluster: I. First successful synthesis by spontaneous self-assembly reaction and structure of (Et4N) [MoFe3S4(Et2NCSS)5]CH3CN

A single MoFe₃S₄ cubane-like cluster compound has been synthesized through spontaneous self-assembly of simple inorganic salts with organosulfur ligand for the first time. (Et₄N)-(MoFe₃S₄(Et₂NCSS)₅] CH₃CN(1) is quite stable in air. The crystal of 1 is monoclinic with space group P2/c, a=22.897 (3)Å, b= 12.399 (2)Å, c=20.928 (4)Å, β=97.15 (1)°, and Z=4. A full matrix least-squares refinement with 6725 unique reflections for all nonhydrogen atoms gives R=0.068. The anion of 1 is the first isolated single MoFe₃S₄ cubane cluster with core oxidation state [MoFe₃S₄]⁴⁺. The distance between the two 6-coordinate metal atoms (Mo, Fe) is 2.624 Å, which is the shortest M-M' bond observed for Mo-Fe-S clusters so far and the only one shorter than similar distances in FeMo-cofactor. The bond orders of this anion were calculated by EHMO method and the results coincide with the general rule. The structural feature and the unusual stability of 1 can be attributed to the bidentate chelating effect of Et₂NCSS-, which leads to high coordination of metal atoms and the various ligated types.

The crystal structure of (Et₄N)[(μ-H)Fe₃(μ₃-Se)(CO)₉] is determined;the crystals are monoclinic, a = 11.172(2), b =32.332(5), c =13.552(3) ?, μ =91.86(2)‡, V _cell =4893(2) ? ³, space group P2₁/n, Z =8, d _calc =1.710 g/cm ³, CAD-4 diffractometer, MoK_α radiation;the total number of data collected 4395,including 4086 independent reflections(R_int =0.0701), R(F) =0.0566, wR(F ²) =0.1202 for 1963 F _hkl > 4Σ(F). The data were corrected for the 37.8% linear drop of intensities of the control reflections due to crystal decay. The Fe-H bond lengths are 1.5(1)-1.72(9) ?. As in the case of three-osmium clusters,the presence of the Μ-H ligand leads to a lengthening of the Fe-Fe bond by approximately 0.1 ? and to push-away of the equatorial carbonyl ligands leading to an increase in the FeFeC angle by approximately 5–10‡, whereas the axial CO and (Μ ₃-Se) remain unchanged.     

Metall-Schwefelstickstoff-Verbindungen. 20. Reaktionsprodukte von PdCl2 und Pd(CN)2 mit S7NH. Darstellung und Struktur der Komplexe [Ph6P2N][Pd(S3N)(S5)] und X[Pd(S3N)(CN)2] (X = [Me4N]+, [Ph4P]+)

Darstellung und Strukturen von (Et4N)2[Re(CO)3(NCS)3] und (Et4N)[Re(CO)2Br4]

Syntheses and Structures of (Et₄N)₂[Re(CO)₃(NCS)₃] and (Et₄N)[Re(CO)₂Br₄] Rhenium(I) and rhenium(III) carbonyl complexes can easily be prepared by ligand exchange reactions starting from (Et₄N)₂[Re(CO)₃Br₃]. Using nonoxidizing reagents the facial Re^I(CO)₃ unit remains and only the bromo ligands are exchanged. Following this procedure, (Et₄N)₂[Re(CO)₃(NCS)₃] can be obtained in high yield and purity using trimethylsilylisothiocyanate. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 18.442(5), b = 17.724(3), c = 18.668(5) Å, β = 92.54(1)°, Z = 8. The NCS^? ligands are coordinated via nitrogen.

The carbonyl ligands are positioned in a cis arrangement. Their strong trans influence causes a lengthening of the Re? Br bond distances by at least 0.05 Å.

Preparation and Structure of [Ph₄As][Cu(S₃N)(CN)], [(Ph₃P)₂N][Cu(S₃N)(S₇N)], and [Ph₄As]₂[(S₃N)Cu(S₂O₃)Cu(S₃N)] In alkaline media S₇NH reacts with Cu salts to yield different products. With Cu(CN) the ion [Cu(S₃N)(CN)]^? is formed, which was isolated as the [Ph₄As]⁺ salt. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 10.499(5), b = 13.418(6), c = 18.032(8) Å, β = 91.84°(3), Z = 4. Besides the known complex ions [Cu(S₃N)₂]^? and [Cu(S₃N)Cl]^? still some more may be obtained when CuCl₂ is reacted with S₇NH: Under special conditions the S₇N ring is partly preserved, and [Cu(S₃N)(S₇N)]^? is formed. Its sparingly soluble [(Ph₃P)₂N]⁺ salt is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 9.335(6), b = 30.984(11), c = 15.108(8) Å, β = 102.87°(4), Z = 4. Using a longer reaction time a dinuclear complex [(S₃N)Cu(S₂O₃)Cu(S₃N)]^{? ?} results from the reaction of CuCl₂ with S₇NH. The two Cu atoms are bridged by an S atom of the S₂O₃^{? ?} anion.
