Octanuclear oxothiomolybdate(v) rings: structure and ionic-conducting properties

A family of alkali salts of octanuclear oxothiomolybdate rings has been synthesized by crystallization of the [Mo(8)S(8)O(8)(OH)(8)[HMO(5)(H(2)O)]](3-) (noted HMo(8)M(3-); M=Mo, W) and [Mo(8)S(8)O(8)(OH)(8)(C(2)O(4))](2-) (noted Mo(8)ox(2-)) anions in an aqueous solution of ACl (A=Li, Na, K, Rb). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed showing that the alkali salts exhibit a similar three-dimensional structure. Disordered alkali ions form columns to which the anionic rings are anchored. Ionic-conductivity measurements on pressed pellets have revealed two different behaviors. The lithium salts of HMo(8)M(3-) (M=Mo, W) are moderately good proton conductors at room temperature (sigma=10(-5) S cm(-1)) and the profile of conductivity as a function of relative humidity shows that the conductivity is due to surface-proton motion (particle-hydrate-type mechanism). On the other hand, the lithium salt of Mo(8)ox(2-) competes with the best crystalline lithium conductors at room temperature (sigma=10(-3) S cm(-1)), and (7)Li NMR experiments confirm the mobility of the lithium ions along the one-dimensional channels of this material.     

Synthesis and structure of nickel-containing cuboidal clusters derived from [W3Se4(H2O)9]4+. Site-differentiated substitution at the nickel site in the series [W3NiQ4(H2O)10]4+ (Q = S, Se)

New Ni-containing heterometallic cuboidal cluster aqua complex [W3(NiCl)Se4(H2O)9]3+, the missing link in the family of the M3NiQ4 clusters (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se), has been prepared by the reaction of [W3Se4(H2O)9]4+ with Ni in 2 M HCl. Single crystals of edge-linked double-cuboidal cluster [{W3NiSe4(H2O)9}2](pts)8.18H2O (pts = p-toluenesulfonate) were grown from the solution of the aqua complex in 3 M Hpts, and their structures were determined. The Ni site in the clusters [W3(NiCl)Q4(H2O)9]3+ selectively coordinates typical pi-acceptor ligands such as CO, olefins, acetylenes, phosphines, arsines, or SnCl3-. This allows stabilization by coordination of such elusive species as HP(OH)2 and As(OH)3. The stability constants for coordination of HP(OH)2, As(OH)3, and SnCl3- were determined. The Se for S substitution increases the stability by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Supramolecular adducts with cucurbit[6]uril (Cuc), [W3(Ni(HP(OH)2))Q4(H2O)9]Cl4.Cuc.11H2O and [W3(NiAs(OH)3)S4(H2O)8Cl]Cl3.Cuc.13H2O, were isolated and structurally characterized.     

Polyoxometalate-supported transition metal complexes and their charge complementarity: synthesis and characterization of [M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)2]2][M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O (M = Al(+, Cr3+)

Two Anderson-type heteropolyanion-supported copper phenanthroline complexes, [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2]1+ (1c) and [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2]1- (1a) complement their charges in one of the title compounds [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O [1c][1a].5 H2O 1. Similar charge complementarity exists in the chromium analogue, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5 H2O [2c][2a].5 H2O 2. The chloride coordination to copper centers of 1a and 2a makes the charge difference. In both compounds, the geometries around copper centers are distorted square pyramidal and those around aluminum/chromium centers are distorted octahedral. Three lattice waters, from the formation of intermolecular O-H.....O hydrogen bonds, have been shown to self-assemble into an "acyclic water trimer" in the crystals of both 1 and 2. The title compounds have been synthesized in a simple one pot aqueous wet-synthesis consisting of aluminum/chromium chloride, sodium molybdate, copper nitrate, phenanthroline, and hydrochloric acid, and characterized by elemental analyses, EDAX, IR, diffuse reflectance, EPR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P. Crystal data for 1: a = 10.7618(6), b = 15.0238(8), c = 15.6648(8) angstroms, alpha = 65.4570(10), beta = 83.4420(10), gamma = 71.3230(10), V = 2182.1(2) angstroms3. Crystal data for 2: a = 10.8867(5), b = 15.2504(7), c = 15.7022(7) angstroms, alpha = 64.9850(10), beta = 83.0430(10), gamma = 71.1570(10), V = 2235.47(18) angstroms3. In the electronic reflectance spectra, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit a broad d-d band at approximately 700 nm, which is a considerable shift with respect to the value of 650-660 nm for a square-pyramidal [Cu(phen)2L] complex, indicating the coordination of [M(OH)6Mo6O18]3- POM anions (as a ligand) to the monophenanthroline copper complexes to form POM-supported copper complexes 1c, 1a, 2c, and 2a. The ESR spectrum of compound 1 shows a typical axial signal for a Cu2+ (d9) system, and that of compound 2, containing both chromium(III) and copper(II) ions, may reveal a zero-field-splitting of the central Cr3+ ion of the Anderson anion, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3-, with an intense peak for the Cu2+ ion.     

Cluster oxalate complexes [M3(mu3-Q)(mu2-Q2)3(C2O4)3]2- and [Mo3(mu3-Q)(mu2-Q)3(C2O4)3(H2O)3]2- (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se): mechanochemical synthesis and crystal structure

Mechanochemical reaction of cluster coordination polymers 1infinity[M3Q7Br4] (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se) with solid K2C2O4 leads to cluster core excision with the formation of anionic complexes [M3Q7(C2O4)3]2-. Extraction of the reaction mixture with water followed by crystallization gives crystalline K2[M3Q7(C2O4)3].0.5KBr.nH2O (M = Mo, Q = S, n = 3 (1); M = Mo, Q = Se, n = 4 (2); M = W, Q = S, n = 5 (3)). Cs2[Mo3S7(C2O4)3].0.5CsCl.3.5H2O (4) and (Et4N)1.5H0.5K{[Mo3S7(C2O4)3]Br}.2H2O (5) were also prepared. Close Q...Br contacts result in the formation of ionic triples {[M3Q7(C2O4)3](2)Br}5- in 1-4 and the 1:1 adduct {[Mo3S7(C2O4)3]Br}3- in 5. Treatment of 1 or 2 with PPh(3) leads to chalcogen abstraction with the formation of [Mo3(mu3-Q)(mu2-Q)3(C2O4)3(H2O)3]2-, isolated as (Ph4P)2[Mo3(mu3-S)(mu2-S)3(C2O4)3(H2O)3].11H2O (6) and (Ph4P2[Mo3(mu3-Se)(mu2-Se)3(C2O4)3(H2O)3].8.5H2O.0.5C2H5OH (7). All compounds were characterized by X-ray structure analysis. IR, Raman, electronic, and 77Se NMR spectra are also reported. Thermal decomposition of 1-3 was studied by thermogravimetry.     

N-对R苯基氮杂15冠5八钼多酸钠超分子配合物的合成与结构

为研究大环化合物对客体分子的选择性, 合成了通式为[NaL(Et2O)]2Na2Mo8O26的三种新型N-对R苯基氮杂15冠5八钼多酸钠超分子配合物(其中L分别为: N-苯基氮杂15冠5、N-对氯苯基氮杂15冠5和N-对甲苯基氮杂15冠5), 进行了元素分析, 红外光谱与核磁共振等结构参数的表征, 对R基为CH3的标题配合物作了X射线四圆衍射测定, 该晶体属单斜晶系, 空间群为P21/a,a=1.4590(4)nm, b=1.3817(3)nm, c=1.7639(5)nm, β=112.67(2)°, V=3.281(1)nm^3, Mr=2021.3, Dc=2.11g/cm^3,μ=2.37mm^-^1, F(000)=2048, R=0.045和Rw=0.057, 与[Na.(DB18C6)(CH3OH)M6O19和[Na(DB24C8)]2M6O19进行比较,结果表明: 大环化合物不仅对客体金属离子有分子识别性, 而且对与之抗衡的多酸阴离子也具有影响。     

New metalloligands [M(SC[O]Ph)(4)](-): synthesis and characterization of polymeric [A(MeCN)(x)[M(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] compounds (A = Li,Na and K; M = Ga and In; x = 0-2)

Exploiting the ability of the [M(SC[O]Ph)(4)](-) anion to behave like an anionic metalloligand, we have synthesized [Li[Ga(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (1), [Li[In(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (2), [Na[Ga(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (3), [Na(MeCN)[In(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (4), [K[Ga(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (5), and [K(MeCN)(2)[In(SC[O]Ph)(4)]] (6) by reacting MX(3) and PhC[O]S(-)A(+) (M = Ga(III) and In(III); X = Cl(-) and NO(3)(-); and A = Li(I), Na(I), and K(I)) in the molar ratio 1:4. The structures of 2, 4, and 6 determined by X-ray crystallography indicate that they have a one-dimensional coordination polymeric structure, and structural variations may be attributed to the change in the alkali metal ion from Li(I) to Na(I) to K(I). Crystal data for 2 x 0.5MeCN x 0.25H(2)O: monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 24.5766(8) A, b = 13.2758(5) A, c = 19.9983(8) A, beta = 108.426(1) degrees, Z = 8, and V = 6190.4(4) A(3). Crystal data for 4: monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, a = 10.5774(7) A, b = 21.9723(15) A, c = 14.4196(10) A, beta = 110.121(1) degrees, Z = 4, and V = 3146.7(4) A(3). Crystal data for 6: monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, a = 12.307(3) A, b = 13.672(3) A, c = 20.575(4) A, beta = 92.356(4) degrees, Z = 4, and V = 3458.8(12) A(3). The thermal decomposition of these compounds indicated the formation of the corresponding AMS(2) materials.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of bi- and trimetallic octacyanometalate(IV) complexes: [Delta,Lambda-MII(en)3][cis-MII(en)2(OH2)][MIV(CN)8].2H2O and [cis-MII(en)2(OH2)]2[(mu-NC)2MIV(CN)6].4H2O (MII = Mn, Co, Ni; MIV = Mo, W)

Treatment of [M(II)(en)(3)][OTs](2) or methanolic ethylenediamine solutions containing transition metal p-toluenesulfonates (M(II) = Mn, Co) with aqueous K(4)M(IV)(CN)(8).2H(2)O or Cs(3)M(V)(CN)(8) (M(IV) = Mo, W; M(V) = Mo) affords crystalline clusters of [M(II)(en)(3)][cis-M(II)(en)(2)(OH(2))(mu-NC)M(IV)(CN)(7)].2H(2)O (M(IV) = Mo; M(II) = Mn, 1; Ni, 5; M(IV) = W; M(II) = Mn, 2; Ni, 6) and [cis-M(II)(en)(2)(OH(2))](2)[(mu-NC)(2)M(IV)(CN)(6)].4H(2)O (M(IV) = Mo; M(II) = Co, 3; Ni, 7; M(IV) = W; M(II) = Co, 4) stoichiometry. Each cluster contains cis-M(II)(en)(2)(OH(2))(mu-NC)(2+) units that likely result from dissociative loss of en from [M(II)(en)(3)](2+), affording cis-M(II)(en)(2)(OH(2))(2)(2+) intermediates that are trapped by M(IV)(CN)(8)(4-).     

Syntheses, characterizations and properties of [Mo2O2S2]-based oxothiomolybdenum wheels incorporating bisphosphonate ligands

We report the syntheses and characterizations of the first polyoxothiometalate complexes isolated from the reaction of the oxothiocationic [Mo(V)(2)O(2)S(2)](2+) precursor and bisphosphonate ligands H(2)O(3)PCR(OH)PO(3)H(2) (R = C(4)H(5)N(2), zoledronic acid; R = C(3)H(6)NH(2), alendronic acid). [(Mo(2)O(2)S(2)(H(2)O))(4)(O(3)PC(O)(C(4)H(6)N(2))PO(3))(4)](8-) (Mo(8)S(8)(Zol)(4)) and [(Mo(2)O(2)S(2)(H(2)O))(4)(O(3)PC(O)(C(3)H(6)NH(3))PO(3))(4)](8-) (Mo(8)S(8)(Ale)(4)) contain four Mo(V) dimers connected via bisphosphonate ligands. These compounds offer a unique opportunity to compare the structures and properties of cyclic compounds obtained with [Mo(2)O(2)S(2)](2+) and with [Mo(2)O(4)](2+). The oxothio compounds appear less stable in solution than the oxo analogue, confirming the higher lability and versatility of [Mo(2)O(2)S(2)]-based compounds compared to [Mo(2)O(4)]-based POMs. Multinuclear and multidimensional solid-state NMR studies were carried out to complement X-ray diffraction analysis. Information on short-range interactions, dynamic behaviors, and local disorder within the crystalline materials are therefore reported. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic properties of Mo(8)S(8)(Ale)(4) and of the analogous [(Mo(2)O(4)(H(2)O))(4)(O(3)PC(O)(C(3)H(6)NH(3))PO(3))(4)](8-) (Mo(8)O(8)(Ale)(4)) immobilized onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode were studied, thus evidencing the ability of [Mo(2)O(2)S(2)]-based cycles to promote the reduction of protons into hydrogen, whereas the oxo analogue appeared inactive.     

New lanthanide-containing polytungstates derived from the cyclic P8W48 Anion: {Ln4(H2O)28[K subset P8W48O184(H4W4O12)2Ln2(H2O)10]13-}x, Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd

The reaction of K28Li5H7[P8W48O184].92H2O with early lanthanides under hydrothermal and conventional conditions yields novel structures of the molecular formula Ln4(H2O)28K6Li7[K subsetP8W48O184(H4W4O12)2Ln2(H2O)10] congruent with 57H2O, Ln = La (1), Ce (2, 2a), Pr (3), Nd (4), in which the central cavity of the precursor anion is occupied by lanthanide cations and H4W4O12 moieties. The new heteropolyanions were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, 31P NMR, and X-ray crystallography. All of the crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/m, with lattice constants (A, Epsilon) a = 33.061(3), b = 30.986(3), c = 15.1649(13), beta = 103.607(2), (1); a = 33.0577(16), b = 31.0562(15), c = 15.2320(7), beta = 104.015(2), (2); a = 33.0577(16), b = 31.0562(15), c = 15.2320(7), beta = 104.015(2), (2a); a = 33.007(2), b = 31.060(2), c = 15.2129(10), beta = 104.0140(10), (3); a = 32.913(19), b = 31.155(18), c = 15.135(9), beta = 103.495(11), (4); and Z = 2.     

Interconversion and Reactivity of Two Heterometallic Tin-Containing Cuboidal Clusters from [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+): X-ray Structure of the Single Cube with an Mo(3)SnS(4) Core

The Mo(3)SnS(4)(6+) single cube is obtained by direct addition of Sn(2+) to [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+). UV-vis spectra of the product (0.13 mM) in 2.00 M HClO(4), Hpts, and HCl indicate a marked affinity of the Sn for Cl(-), with formation of the more strongly yellow [Mo(3)(SnCl(3))S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](3+) complex complete in as little as 0.050 M Cl(-). The X-ray crystal structure of (Me(2)NH(2))(6)[Mo(3)(SnCl(3))S(4)(NCS)(9)].0.5H(2)O has been determined and gives Mo-Mo (mean 2.730 ?) and Mo-Sn (mean 3.732 ?) distances, with a difference close to 1 ?. The red-purple double cube cation [Mo(6)SnS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) is obtained by reacting Sn metal with [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+). The double cube is also obtained in approximately 50% yield by BH(4)(-) reduction of a 1:1 mixture of [Mo(3)SnS(4)(H(2)O)(10)](6+) and [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+). Conversely two-electron oxidation of [Mo(6)SnS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) with [Co(dipic)(2)](-) or [Fe(H(2)O(6)](3+) gives the single cube [Mo(3)SnS(4)(H(2)O)(12)](6+) and [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) (up to 70% yield), followed by further two-electron oxidation to [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) and Sn(IV). The kinetics of the first stages have been studied using the stopped-flow method and give rate laws first order in [Mo(6)SnS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) and the Co(III) or Fe(III) oxidant. The oxidation with [Co(dipic)(2)](-) has no [H(+)] dependence, [H(+)] = 0.50-2.00 M. With Fe(III) as oxidant, reaction steps involving [Fe(H(2)O)(6)](3+) and [Fe(H(2)O)(5)OH](2+) are implicated. At 25 degrees C and I = 2.00 M (Li(pts)) k(Co) is 14.9 M(-)(1) s(-)(1) and k(a) for the reaction of [Fe(H(2)O)(6)](3+) is 0.68 M(-)(1) s(-)(1) (both outer-sphere reactions). Reaction of Cu(2+) with the double but not the single cube is observed, yielding [Mo(3)CuS(4)(H(2)O)(10)](5+). A redox-controlled mechanism involving intermediate formation of Cu(+) and [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) accounts for the changes observed.     

H_8[P_2Mo_(17)Co(OH_2)O_(61)]和H_8[P_2Mo_(17)Ni(OH_2)O_(61)]的抑酶活性研究

Crystal engineering through face interactions between tetrahedral and octahedral building blocks: crystal structure of [epsilon-Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]2[V2W4O19]3(OH)2).27H2O

A new intercluster salt crystal [epsilon-Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]2[V2W4O19]3(OH)2).27H2O (1) was synthesized from the reaction of octahedral Lindqvist-type polyoxometalate [V2W4O19](4-) and truncated tetrahedral Keggin-type [epsilon-Al13O4(OH)24-H2O)(12)](7+) cluster ions. The crystal structure shows that the oppositely charged cluster ions are arranged alternately and have their contacting faces parallel to each other for maximal interactions, both electrostatic and hydrogen bonding. The face-to-face interaction mode of the clusters allows analysis of the crystal structure in an analogy to the bond directionality of conventional inorganic crystals. Therefore, the packing of clusters in 1 is that of As2O3 (Claudetite-II). With the bond directionality, the crystal has large one-dimensional channels with a cross-sectional area of 14.17 x 13.88 A(2) that are filled by lattice water and charge-balancing OH-.     

Synthesis and Structure of One Novel Polyoxometalate Compound Connected via Cerium(Ⅲ) Cation with Three-dimensional Framework H2{[K(H2O)2]2[Ce(H2O)5]2(H2Mo1.16W10.84O42)}·8H2O

One novel polyoxometalate compound connected via trivalent cerium cation as bridge H2{[K(H2O)2]2[Ce(H2O)5]2(H2Mo1.16W10.84O42)}·8H2O 1 was designed and synthesized in aqueous solution. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the structure of 1 is a three-dimensional framework assembled from the arrangement of H2Mo1.16W10.84O42 (named paradodecmetalate-B) and Ce(H2O)53 containing two planes, which are constructed through the unification of H2Mo1.16W10.84O4210- and Ce(H2O)53 along the [100] and [001] directions. Crystal data: H96Ce4K4Mo2.32O128W21.68, Mr = 7074.89, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.5037(17), b = 17.002(2), c = 12.7473(17) (A), β = 105.966(2)°, V = 2605.4(6) (A)3, Z = 1, Dc = 4.509 g/cm3, F(000) = 3132, μ = 26.098 mm(1, R = 0.0377 and wR = 0.0789 (I ＞ 2σ(I)).     

Preparation and properties of the full series of cuboidal clusters [Mo(x)W4-xSe4(H2O)12]n+ (n = 4-6) and their derivatives

Hydrothermal reactions between incomplete cuboidal cluster aqua complexes [M3Q4(H2O)9]4+ and M(CO)6 (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se) offer easy access to the corresponding cuboidal clusters M4Q4. The complete series of homometal and mixed Mo/W clusters [Mo(x)W4-xQ4(H2O)12]n+ (x = 0-4, n = 4-6) has been prepared. Upon oxidation of the mixed-metal clusters, it is the W atom which is lost, allowing selective preparation of new trinuclear clusters [Mo2WSe4(H2O)9]4+ and [MoW2Se4(H2O)9]4+. The aqua complexes were converted by ligand exchange reactions into dithiophosphato and thiocyanato complexes, and crystal structures of [W4S4((EtO)2PS2)6], [MoW3S4((EtO)2PS2)6], [Mo4Se4((EtO)2PS2)6], [W4Se4((i-PrO)2PS2)6], and (NH4)6[W4Se4(NCS)12]-4H20 were determined. Cyclic voltammetry was performed on [Mo(x)W4-xCO4(H2O)12]n+, showing reversible redox waves 6+/5+ and 5+/4+. The lower oxidation states are more difficult to access as the number of W atoms increases. The [Mo2WSe4(H2O)9]4+ and [MoW2Se4(H2O)9]4+ species were derivatized into [Mo2WSe4(acac)3(py)3]+ and [MoW2Se4(acac)3(py)3]+, which were also studied by CV. When appropriate, the products were also characterized by FAB-MS and NMR (31P, 1H) data.     

Preparation and Tungsten-183 NMR Characterization of [alpha-1-P(2)W(17)O(61)](10)(-), [alpha-1-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-), and [alpha-2-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-)

The preparation of the alpha-1 and alpha-2 isomers of the Wells-Dawson 17 tungsto derivatives by standard methods is accompanied by a significant proportion of the other isomer present as an impurity. In this study, the alpha-1 and alpha-2 isomers of [Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-) have been prepared in >98% purity by reacting isomerically pure K(9)Li[alpha-1-P(2)W(17)O(61)] and K(10)[alpha-2-P(2)W(17)O(61)], respectively, with ZnCl(2), while rigorously controlling the pH at 4.7. The molecules were isolated as potassium salts. For (183)W NMR and (31)P NMR characterization, both molecules were ion exchanged by cation-exchange chromatography, maintaining the pH at 4.7, to obtain the lithium salts. Removal of water and isolation of a solid sample of [alpha-1-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-) was achieved by lyophilization at -40 degrees C. The chemical shift data from (31)P and (183)W NMR spectroscopy of the isolated [alpha-1-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-) and [alpha-2-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-) isomers are consistent with a mixture of the alpha-1 and alpha-2 isomers reported previously;(1) the molecules have the expected C(1) and C(s)() symmetry, respectively. The [alpha-1-Zn(H(2)O)P(2)W(17)O(61)](8)(-) isomer is stable in the pH range of 4.6-6 at temperatures <35 degrees C. Using the same ion exchange and lyophilization techniques, the lacunary [alpha-1-P(2)W(17)O(61)](10)(-) isomer was isolated as the lithium salt; characterization by (183)W NMR spectroscopy confirms the C(1) symmetry.     

Preparation and Properties of the Corner-Shared Double Cube [Mo(6)BiS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) as a Derivative of [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) in Aqueous Acidic Solutions

The reaction of [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) with Bi(III) in the presence of BH(4)(-) (rapid), or with Bi metal shot (3-4 days), gives a heterometallic cluster product. The latter has been characterized as the corner-shared double cube [Mo(6)BiS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) by the following procedures. Analyses by ICP-AES confirm the Mo:Bi:S ratio as 6:1:8. Elution from a cation-exchange column by 4 M Hpts (Hpts = p-toluenesulfonic acid), but not 2 M Hpts (or 4 M HClO(4)), is consistent with a high charge. The latter is confirmed as 8+ from the 3:1 stoichiometries observed for the oxidations with [Co(dipic)(2)](-) or [Fe(H(2)O)(6)](3+) yielding [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) and Bi(III) as products. Heterometallic clusters [Mo(6)MS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) are now known for M = Hg, In, Tl, Sn, Pb, Sb, and Bi and are a feature of the P-block main group metals. The color of [Mo(6)BiS(8)(H(2)O)(18)](8+) in 2.0 M Hpts (turquoise) is different from that in 2.0 M HCl (green-blue). Kinetic studies (25 degrees C) for uptake of a single chloride k(f) = 0.80 M(-)(1) s(-)(1), I = 2.0 M (Hpts), and the high affinity for Cl(-) (K > 40 M(-)(1)) exceeds that observed for complexing at Mo. A specific heterometal interaction of the Cl(-) not observed in the case of other double cubes is indicated. The Cl(-) can be removed by cation-exchange chromatography with retention of the double-cube structure. Kinetic studies with [Co(dipic)(2)](-) and hexaaqua-Fe(III) as oxidants form part of a survey of redox properties of this and other clusters. The Cl(-) adduct is more readily oxidized by [Co(dipic)(2)](-) (factor of approximately 10) and is also more air sensitive.     

Hydrothermal Assembly and Structural Characterization of an Octamolybdate Supported Copper(Ⅰ) Tetramer:[Cu2(1,10-phen)2(4,4'-bpy)]2[Mo8O26]·4H2O

A hydrothermal reaction of copper acetate with ammonium molybdate, 4,4'-bpy (4,4'-bipyridine) and 1,10-phen (1,10-phenanthroline) led to the formation of brown crystals of [Cu2(1,10-phen)2(4,4'-bpy)]2 [Mo8O26]@4H2O 1. Single-crystal X-ray analysis has revealed that 1 C68H56N12O30Cu4Mo8 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P ī with a = 11.270(3), b = 13.113(6), c = 13.906(3)A, α = 103.33(4),α = 98.54(2),β= 101.29(2)°, V = 1920.1(1)A3, Mr = 2542.9(3), Z = 1, Dc = 2.199 g/cm3, μ= 2.435 mm-1, F(000)= 1240, the final R = 0.0445, wR = 0.1082 and S = 1.021 for 5052 observed reflections with I>σ2(I).It consists of copper Ⅰ tetramer units and α-[Mo8O26]4- anions, which are further attached into a three-dimensional framework through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions.     

Synthesis and characterization of a twin Cubane-type molybdenum-rhodium-sulfur cluster, [{Mo3RhCp*S4(H2O)7(O)}2]8+. X-ray structure of [{Mo3RhCpS4(H2O7O}2](CH3C6H4SO3)(8).14H2O

The reaction of [Mo(3)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+) (1) with [(CpRhCl(2))(2)] afforded a novel rhodium-molybdenum cluster, [{Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(7)(O)}(2)](8+) (2). X-ray structure analysis of [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O (pts(-) = CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3)(-)) has revealed the existence of a new oxo-bridged twin cubane-type core, (Mo(3)RhCpS(4))(2)(O)(2). The high affinity of the CpRh group for sulfur atoms in 1 seems to be the main driving force for this reaction. The strong Lewis acidity of the CpRh group in intermediate A, [Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(9)](6+), caused a release of proton from one of the water molecules attached to the molybdenum atoms to give intermediate B, [Mo(3)RhCpS(4)(H(2)O)(8)(OH)](5+). The elimination of two water molecules from two intermediate B molecules, followed by the deprotonation reaction of hydroxo bridges, generated the twin cubane-type cluster 2. The formal oxidation states of rhodium and molybdenum atoms are the same before and after the reaction (i.e., Mo(IV)(3), Rh(III)). The Mo-O-Mo moieties in [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O are nearly linear with a bond angle of 164.3(3) degrees, and the basicity of the bridging oxygen atoms seems to be weak. For this reason, protonation at the bridging oxygen atoms does not occur even in a strongly acidic aqueous solution. The binding energy values of Mo 3d(5/2), Rh 3d(5/2), and C 1s obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements for [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O are 229.8, 309.3, and 285 eV, respectively. The XPS measurements on the Rh 3d(5/2) binding energy indicate that the oxidation state of Rh is 3+. The binding energy of Mo 3d(5/2) (229.8 eV) compares with that observed for [1](pts)(4).7H(2)O (230.7 eV, Mo 3d(5/2)). A lower energy shift (0.9 eV) is observed in the binding energy of Mo 3d(5/2) for [2](pts)(8).14H(2)O. This energy shift may correspond to the coordination of an oxygen atom having a negative charge to the molybdenum atom.     

Syntheses and Characterization of gamma-[SiW(10)M(2)S(2)O(38)](6)(-) (M = Mo(V), W(V)). Two Keggin Oxothio Heteropolyanions with a Metal-Metal Bond

The oxothio polyanions gamma-[SiW(10)M(2)S(2)O(38)](6)(-) (M = Mo(V), W(V)) were obtained through stereospecific addition of the dication [M(2)S(2)O(2)](2+) (M = Mo, W) to the divacant gamma-[SiW(10)O(36)](8)(-) anion in dimethylformamide. These compounds were isolated as crystals and are stable in usual organic solvents and in aqueous medium from pH = 1 to pH = 7. NEt(4)Cs(3)H(2)[SiW(10)Mo(2)S(2)O(38)].6H(2)O (a gamma-isomer derived from the alpha Keggin structure capped by the [Mo(2)S(2)O(2)](2+) fragment containing a metal-metal bond) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 12.050(3) ?, b = 12.695(2) ?, c = 20.111(4) ?, alpha = 74.35(2) degrees, beta = 86.83(2) degrees, gamma = 63.50(2) degrees, Z = 2. NEt(4)Cs(5)[SiW(12)S(2)O(38)].7H(2)O is isostructural and crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 12.197(4) ?, b = 12.714(3) ?, c = 20.298(3) ?, alpha = 74.75(1) ?, beta = 86.48(2) degrees, gamma = 61.80(2) degrees, Z = 2. (183)W NMR spectra of Li(+) salts in aqueous solution agree with the solid state structures and reveal 100% purity for both anions. Polarographic, infrared and UV-vis data are also given.
