Synthese und Kristallstruktur von PbMo5O8; ein reduziertes Oxomolybdat mit Mo10O28-Oktaederdoppeln

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of PbMo₅O₈; a reduced Oxomolybdate with Mo₁₀O₂₈ Double Octahedra The crystal structure of the new phase PbMo₅O₈ contains oligometric Mo clusters which consist of two edge-sharing Mo₆ octahedra connected according to Mo₁₀OOO. The compound is isotypic with LaMo₅O₈. Isolated, divalent Pb atoms are located in the “channels” of the monoclinic structure (a = 999.3(2) pm, b = 924.7(1) pm, c = 753.6(2) pm, β = 109.39(2)°, P2₁/a. Compared to the compound In ₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ the Mo? O distances (average 206 pm) and the Mo? Mo distances within the octahedral units (average 275 pm) are slightly decreased by 1 and 4 pm, respectively. The very short Mo? Mo distances (278 pm) between the cluster units which are not observed in In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ (320 pm) are due to excess electrons in these inter-cluster bonds which would otherwise occupy antibonding cluster states.     

Über die Kristallstruktur von In3Mo11O17 sowie über physikalische Eigenschaften oligomerer Oxomolybdate

On the Crystal Structure of In₃Mo₁₁O₁₇ and the Physical Properties of Oligomeric Oxomolybdates In₃Mo₁₁O₁₇ is characterized by its molybdate framework Mo₂₂O₃₄^8? belonging to the general series Mo_4n+2O_6n+4^x? (with n = 5). The phase grows in star-like aggregates and crystallizes within the orthorhombic system (a = 988.0(2) pm, b = 951.2(2) pm, c = 3 176.7(4) pm). There are oligomeric clusters built from five trans edge-sharing Mo₆ octahedra, surrounded by O atoms over all empty edges according to the Aufbau principle Mo₂₂OOO. In the remaining structural channel one finds an In₆⁸⁺ polycation which is geometrically equivalent with the one of In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂. The Mo—O and Mo—Mo distances within the cluster are the same like in In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂, too, but there are shorter inter cluster distances (306 pm) in In₃Mo₁₁O₁₇. Disorder in the structure may be understood in terms of the presence of constitutional isomers. While the electrical resistivity of PbMo₅O₈ resembles the one of a strongly disturbed metal (with a local minimum around 120 K), the temperature characteristic of Tl_0.8Sn_0.6Mo₇O₁₁ is typical for a semiconductor. Oxomolybdates with even longer oligomers like In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ and In₃Mo₁₁O₁₇ show metallic conductivity. This course corresponds with the sizes of the clusters and their electronic intercoupling which can be estimated from the specific lengths of the inter cluster distances. The effective magnetic moment grows with increasing cluster length from 0.97 μ_B (PbMo₅O₈) to 1.40 μ_B (In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂) per cluster (exception: In₃Mo₁₁O₁₂), and so does the contribution of the temperature-independent paramagnetism (from 890 to 2191 × 10^?6$ \frac{{{\rm emu}}}{{{\rm mol}}} $ per cluster). Thus, a single condensed octahedron carries roughly 440 × 10^?6$ \frac{{{\rm emu}}}{{{\rm mol}}} $ as a temperature-independent paramagnetism, similar to the M₆X₁₇ halide clusters. In₁₁Mo₄₀O₆₂ shows an interesting change in the temperature dependence of its magnetic suszeptibility.

The structure determination by four circle diffractometer data MoKα, 3 689 out of 3 689 I_o(hkl), R = 4.22, R_w = 2.45) confirms the space group P2₁/c with lattice constants a = 687.7 pm; b = 3 118.5 pm; c = 686.4 pm; β = 119.3°; Z = 2. The characteristic feature of the structure is [In₄O₁₃]^14? groups, oligomers consisting of four corner-sharing InO₄ tetrahedra. These groups are connected by crystallographically distinct potassium atoms. The structure is isotypic with Na₁₄[Al₄O₁₃] [2] and K₁₄[Fe₃O₁₃] [3]. ECoN and MAPLE calculationes are discussed.

The crystal structure is built up from dinuclear units [Mo₂N₂Cl₇]^3— and [Mo₂Cl₇]³⁺, which are connected by asymmetric nitrido bridges to form endless chains. Within both dinuclear units the Mo atoms are bridged by three Cl atoms resulting in a Mo‐Mo distance of 349.2(3) pm in the unit [Mo₂N₂Cl₇]^3—. In case of [Mo₂Cl₇]³⁺, however, a shorter Mo‐Mo distance of 289.4(3) pm is observed, which can be interpreted by a single bond. Correspondingly a reduced magnetic moment of 0.95 B.M. per Mo atom is observed.

Synthese und Struktur von Mo2NCl8 und Mo3N2Cl11

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Mo_2<>NCl₈ and Mo₃N₂Cl₁₁ The reaction of MoCl₅ with Cl₃VNCl at 140 °C in a sealed glass ampoule yields air sensitive black crystals of the mixed valent molybdenum(V, VI) nitride chloride, Mo₂NCl₈. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a = 996.1(1), b = 629.4(1), c = 1780.8(3) pm, β = 101.82(2)°, and Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of dinuclear C₂‐symmetrical units [Cl₂(N≡)Mo(μ₂‐Cl)₃Mo(≡N)Cl₂]^— and [Cl₄Mo(μ₂‐Cl)MoCl₄]⁺, connected in an alternating sequence by asymmetric nitrido bridges Mo≡N‐Mo to form chains. The reaction of Cl₃VNCl with MoCl₃ at 140 °C affords Mo₃N₂Cl₁₁, but for the prolonged reaction period, MoNCl₃ is observed in addition. Mo₃N₂Cl₁₁ can also be obtained from MoNCl₃ and MoCl₅ (2:1) at 140 °C. It forms orthorhombic, black crystals with the space group Pca2₁ and a = 1256.1(1), b = 1001.9(1), c = 1330.10(5) pm, and Z = 4. The structure contains the same dinuclear units [Cl₂(N≡)Mo(μ₂‐Cl)₃Mo(≡N)Cl₂]^— as in Mo₂NCl₈, which in this case are connected with MoCl₄⁺ moieties by asymmetric nitrido bridges Mo≡N‐Mo forming chains. In Mo₂NCl₈ the Mo‐N distances in the nearly linear nitrido bridges are 167.6(2), and 214.8(2) pm, whereas in case of Mo₃N₂Cl₁₁ two sets of Mo‐N distances of 166, 8(4) and 214, 0(4) pm as well as 166, 9(4) and 211, 9(4) pm are observed.     

Über Komplexe Fluoride des zweiwertigen Palladiums

On Complex Fluorides of Divalent Palladium For the first time single crystals of the new compounds RbPdPdF₅, KPdPdF₅, and K₂CsPdF₅ have been obtained. Orange brown RbPdPdF₅ crystallizes orthorhombic, space group Imma–D_2h²⁸ (No. 74) with a = 633.6(1) pm, b = 765.5.(1) pm, c = 1067.5(1) pm and Z = 4 and is isotypic with CsPdPdF₅ [1]. Structure related KPdPdF₅ (also orange brown) crystallizes orthorhombic too, but in space group Pnma–D_2h¹⁶ (No. 62) with a 614.12(9) pm, b = 748.7(1) pm, c = 1065.0(2) pm and Z = 4. K₂CsPdF₅, light yellow, crystallizes tetragonal with a = 736.3(1) pm, c = 628.0(1) pm, Z = 2, and is isotypic with Rb₂CsPdF₅ (space group P4/mbm? D_4h⁵ Nr. 127), an ordered structure variant of the Rb₃PdF₅-Type [1].     

Oxydation intermetallischer Phasen: K4{Na2[Tl2O6]} aus NaTl und K2O2

Oxidation of Intermetallic Phases: K₄{Na₂[Tl₂O₆]} from NaTl and K₂O₂ The hitherto unknown K₄{Na₂[Tl₂O₆]} was prepared in form of transparent, yellow single crystals from NaTl and KO_1,08 (molar ratio 1:1.3; sealed Ag-cylinder; 450°C, 30 d). The structure determination (four-circle diffractometer, MoKα, 1 280 out of 1 523 I_o(hkl), R = 5.75%, R_w = 4.58%) confirms the space group P2₁/c with a = 641.3 pm, b = 691.1 pm, c = 1188.5 pm, β = 95.69° and Z = 2. As characteristic building units of the structure there are doubles of tetrahedra of [Tl₂O₆] and [Na₂O₆]. The compound is isotypic with Cs₆[In₂O₆] and Rb₆[Tl₂O₆]. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, the Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, and Charge Distribution, CHARDI, are calculated.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structures of new 1,2,4‐Triazole based Schiff‐bases and their Copper(I) Complexes

The reaction of 4‐amino‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione (AMTT, 1 ) with 4‐methoxy benzaldehyde and 3‐methoxybenzaldehyde in methanol led to the iminic derivatives 4‐(4‐methoxybenzylideneamino)‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)thione ( 2 , L1) and 4‐(3‐methoxybenzylideneamino)‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione ( 3 , L2). The reaction of the latter with [(PPh₃)₂CuCl] in methanol solution gave the first Cu^I complex of 3 , [(PPh₃)₂CuCl(L2)] ( 4 ) and in chloroform solution the complex [(PPh₃)₂CuCl(L2)]·2CHCl₃ ( 5 ). All compounds were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analyses as well as by X‐ray diffraction studies.
