Heteropolymetallic complexes of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf). II. Crystal structure of dppf and NiCl2(dppf)

The crystal structures of dppf [dppf=1,1-bis(diphenylphoshino)ferrocene] and (dppf)NiCl₂ were determined by X-ray crystallography and refined toR=0.043 (both). The molecule of dppf is centrosymmetric, with the inversion center at the Fe atom. The ferrocene rings are parallel and staggered. In (dppf)NiCl₂ the coordination around nickel is tetrahedral, with a significantly large Cl-Ni-Cl angle (125°) due to repulsion of the chlorine atoms. The ferrocene ligand exhibits a slightly distorted (9°) eclipsed conformation, very similar to that observed in (dppf)NiBr₂.     

X-ray diffraction structure of the 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf)-bridged complex [(dppf)AgCl]2: An unexpected product from the reaction betweencis-(bpy)2RuCl2 and dppf in the presence of AgBF4

The reaction betweencis-Ru(bpy)₂Cl₂ (where bpy=bipyridine) and the diphosphine ligand 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) in the presence of AgBF₄ has led to the isolation of the title compound [Ag(dppf)Cl]₂. [Ag(dppf)Cl]₂ has been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, which confirms the bridging mode adopted by the ancillary dppf ligand and the centrosymmetric nature of this molecule. Dimeric [Ag(dppf)Cl]₂ crystallizes in the triclinic space group ,a=11.426(1) Å,b=11.509(1) Å,c=12.786(1) Å, =68.96(2)°, =70.66(2)°, =71.24(2)°,V=1441(1) ų,Z=1,d _calc=1.608 g·cm^–3;R=0.0445,R _w=0.0566 for 4486 observed reflections withl>3(l)     

Synthesis, redox chemistry, and X-ray structure of the mixed-metal cluster Fe2(CO)6(μ3-S)2Ni(dppf)

The reaction between the dianion [Fe₂(CO)₆(₂-S)₂]^2– and NiCl₂(dppf) occurs readily at room temperature to give the mixed-metal cluster Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(dppf) in moderate yield. Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(dppf) was isolated by preparative chromatography and its solid-state structure established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(dppf) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 20.320(6), b = 13.114(2), c = 15.622(2) Å, = 110.25(2)°, V = 3905.4(11) ų, Z = 4, and d _calc = 1.630 g/cm.³ The X-ray structure of Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(dppf) exhibits an Fe₂S₂Ni arachno polyhedral core, with the pendant dppf ligand attached to an essentially square planar Ni center. The redox chemistry of Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(dppf) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry which showed a reversible, one-electron oxidation localized on the Fe₂S₂ core along with an irreversible, one-electron reduction that is antibonding with respect to the Fe—Fe and Fe—S bonds. The electrochemical assignments were confirmed by carrying out extended Hückel MO calculations on the model cluster Fe₂(CO)₆(₃-S)₂Ni(H₄-dppf).     

Crystal structure of trans-W2(CO)6(PPh2H)2(μ2-PPh2)2

The molecular structure of trans-W²(CO)₆(PPh²H)²(₂-PPh²)² was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The two tungsten centers, bridged by two diphenylphosphido ligands, are separated by 3.0667(6) Å with W–P–W angles of 77.10(5) and 77.08(5). Average tungsten–phosphorus bond distances are 2.461(17) and 2.4576(21) Å for bridging and terminal phosphorus groups, respectively, with a range of 0.037 Å for the former and 0.001 Å for the latter.

The reaction of di-2-pyridyl ketone with antimony(III) fluoride. Preparation and crystal structure of difluoro (hydroxodi-2-pyridylmethoxo-NN′O)antimony(III)

The synthesis and the crystal and molecular structure of the difluoro(hydroxodi-2-pyridylmethoxo-NNO) antimony(III) compound determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis are reported. Crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbcn,a=12.732(2),b=12.165(2),c=15.936(2) Å. Refinement based on 1516 observed reflections led to a finalR value of 0.025 (Rw=0.028). In the crystal the di-2-pyridyl ketone behaves asfacial-(NNO)-terdentate in the Sb coordination, the square pyramid geometry around the metal is completed by the coordination of two fluorine atoms.     

f-Element/crown ether complexes. 20. Synthesis and structure of [Y(NO3)3(OH2)3]·1.5(15-crown-5)·Me2O

The title complex was prepared by the addition of 15-crown-5, dissolved in acetone, to a solution of Y(NO₃)₃·nH₂O in the same solvent. The crystal structure of this complex, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using counter methods, was carried out on a crystal grown by slow evaporation of the reaction mixture at room temperature. [Y(NO₃)₃(OH₂)₃]·1.5(15-crown-5) Me₂CO crystallizes in the acentric space group, P2₁, with unit cell dataa=15.900(5),b=16.530(6),c=11.821(5) Å,=92.12(3)°,D _calc=1.53 g cm^–3 forZ=4. Each unit cell consists of two dimers of the formula unit. One crown molecule bridges two [Y(NO₃)₃(OH₂)₃] units via hydrogen bonding with one water molecule of each. The two remaining water molecules per metal moiety form three hydrogen bonds to another 15-crown-5 molecule and one to an acetone molecule. The average bonding parameters in the nine-coordinate metal complexes are Y-O(NO₃)=2.43(4) Å and Y-O(OH₂)=2.34(5) Å.For Part 19 see Rogers, 1987.

Treatment of the diphosphine ligand 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)cyclobutenedione (bpcbd) with the THF adduct fac-BrRe(CO)₃(THF)₂ at room temperature furnishes the new dirhenium compound [BrRe(CO)₃]₂(bpcbd) instead of the expected mononuclear compound fac-BrRe(CO)₃(bpcbd). [BrRe(CO)₃]₂(bpcbd) was characterized in solution by IR spectroscopy, and the solid-state structure was solved by X-ray crystallography. [BrRe(CO)₃]₂(bpcbd), as the CH₂Cl₂ solvate, crystallizes in the space group P , a = 11.173(1), b = 13.362(1), c = 15.250(1) Å, = 108.973(7)°, = 99.477(8)°, = 110.466(7)°, V = 1915.0(3) ų, Z = 2, and d _calc = 2.143 g-cm^–3. The structure of [BrRe(CO)₃]₂(bpcbd) consists of two rhenium centers that are six-coordinate and possess nearly ideal octahedral geometry. The two Re(CO)₃ units are linked together by the bridging diphosphine ligand and two bridging bromide groups.     

Structure of the adduct of bis(O,O′-diisopropyldithiophosphato) metal with pyridine: Ni[(iPrO)2PS2]2(py)2 and Cd[(iPrO)2PS2]2 (py)2(py = pyridine)

The crystal and molecular structures of the complex of [Ni{(iPrO)₂dtp}₂(py)₂] and [Cd{(iPrO)₂dtp}₂(py)₂] (dtp = dithiophosphate, py = pyridine) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. They are isomorphous. The crystal structures are very similar and consist of discrete molecules of [Ni{(iPrO)₂dtp}₂(py)₂] and [Cd{(iPrO)₂dtp}₂(py)₂], respectively. They both crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, the former with lattice parameters a = 6.489(1) Å, b = 14.830(3) Å, c = 16.386(3) Å, = 99.74(3), and Z = 2; the latter with a = 6.461(3) Å, b = 14.583(4) Å, c = 17.433(4) Å, = 99.55(3)°, and Z = 2. They all display distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal atom. In the complexes, two O,O-diisopropyl dithiophosphate ions act as bidentate ligands with their S atoms coordinated to metal. Each forms a four-membered chelate ring in the equatorial plane. The N atoms from two pyridine ligands are axially coordinated to the metal atom. The Ni–S bond distances are 2.5137(10) and 2.5386(9) Å, and the Ni–N bond distances are 2.127(3) Å. The Cd–S(1) and Cd–S(2) bond distance are 2.694(1) and 2.704(1) Å, respectively, and the Cd–N bond distances are 2.399(3) Å. The IR spectra data is in agreement with the structural data.     

Reactions of [Mn2(μ-pyS)2(CO)6] (pySH=pyridine-2-thiol) with triphenylphosphine (PPh3), diphenylphosphine (PHPh2) and bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm): X-ray crystal structure of [Mn(pyS)(η1-dppm)2(CO)2]

The dimeric complex [Mn₂(-pyS)₂(CO)₆] (1) reacted with 2 M equivalents of both PPh₃ and PHPh₂ to give the respective monomeric phosphine complexes [Mn(pyS)(L)(CO)₃][L = PPh₃ (2) and PHPh₂ (3)]; with 4 M equivalents of dppm, it yielded the complex [Mn(pyS)(¹-dppm)₂(CO)₂](4). An X-ray structure determination of 4 shows that it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.027(3), b = 24.984(7), c = 18.379(5) Å, = 99.870(8)°, V = 4988(2) ų, and Z = 4. The complex has an octahedral geometry with the chelating pyS ligand and two CO groups occupying the equatorial sites and the two monodentate dppm ligands lying in the trans positions.     

Phenylmercury(II) dithiophosphates. Crystal structure of (O,O′-diethyldithiophosphate) phenylmercury(II)

The phenylmercury(II) derivatives PhHgS₂P(OR)₂ (R=C₂H₅, C₆H₁₁ and C₆H₅) have been synthesized. (O,O-diethyldithiophosphate) phenylmercury(II), C₁₀H₁₅HgO₂PS₂, crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c (n° 14) witha=7.330(5),b=18.085(2),c=11.552(4)Å,=105.96(5)°,V=1472.3(6)ų,Z=4,D=2.088 g.cm^–3. The mercury atom is coordinated to the phenyl carbon atom and to a ligand sulphur atom in an almost linear arrangement (C-Hg-S angle, 176.0(2)°. The ligand is almost monodentate, its second sulphur atom only being involved in a weak secondary intermolecular bond.IR and Raman studies of the other two compounds suggest the same coordination scheme. Positive ion FAB and¹³C,³¹P and¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectra are also discussed.     

Crystal structure of triethylentetraammonium bis monohydrogen-monophosphate dihydrate β-NH3(CH2)2NH2(CH2)2NH2(CH2)2NH3(HPO4)2·2H2O

The salt triethylentetraammonium bis monohydrogen-monophosphate dihydrate is orthorhombic Pbca with unit cell dimensions a = 8.963(2), b = 10.326(2), c = 17.381(4)Å; Z = 4; D_m = 1.540 g cm^–3; D _x = 1.562 g cm^–3. The examination of the structure shows a layer arrangement parallel to the axis: planes of [HPO₄]^2– tetrahedra alternate with planes of [(NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₂CH₂)₂]⁴⁺. The [HPO₄]^2– tetrahedra are connected through O(W)s--H···O hydrogen bonds, so that infinite chains of the composition [HPO₄(H₂O)]_n ^2n– are formed in the structure parallel to the axis. The structure of this compound is built from [HPO₄]^2– anions, [(NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₂CH₂)₂]⁴⁺ cations and zeolitic water molecules connected by hydrogen bonds.     

A comparison of the crystal structures of (dabcoH2)CuCl4 and (dabcoH2)CuCl4⋅H2O

The crystal structures of the anhydrous and monohydrated (dabcoH₂)CuCl₄nH₂O salts (n = 0,1) have been determined and a comparison of their crystal structures has been reported. The anhydrous salt is monoclinic P2₁/c with a = 9.045(2) Å, b = 6.9270(10) Å, c = 18.767(4) Å and = 90.07(3)° with V = 1175.8(4) ų. The hydrated salt is also monoclinic P2₁/c with a = 9.266(2) Å, b = 9.395(2) Å, c = 14.386(3) Å and = 93.32(3)° with V = 1250.3(5) ų. The structures of the two salts are closely related. Both compounds contain isolated distorted (compressed) tetrahedral CuCl₄ ^2– anions, diprotonated dabco cations, and in the case of the hydrated salt, lattice H₂O molecules. In the anhydrous salt, each of the two N–H⁺ groups of the dabcoH₂ ²⁺ dications form bifurcated hydrogen bonds to chloride ions on adjacent CuCl₄ ^2– anions along the c axis, thus forming chains running parallel to the c axis. In the hydrated salt, a water molecule is inserted into one of the pair of bifurcated hydrogen bonds, forming instead N–H O–H CuCl₄ ^2– linkages. The chains thus formed are cross-linked by O–H Cl hydrogen bonds between the chains. Because of this additional hydrogen bonding, the CuCl₄ ^2– anions in the hydrated salt are distorted further from tetrahedral geometry.     

Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of [Cd(OH2)2 (μ-Br)4 (Cd(2-hydroxyethyl sulfide) (μ-Br))2]n

The reaction of equal millimolar quantities of CdBr₂ and 2-hydroxyethyl sulfide in 31 CH₃CNCH₃OH produced [Cd(OH₂)₂(Br)₄ (Cd(2-hydroxy ethyl sulfide) (-Br))₂]_n. The compound crystallizes as a bromide-bridged polymer with hydrogen bonding interactions between the polymeric chains. Each of the two unique metal centers has a distorted octahedral geometry. The thioether ligand is bidentate to one cadmium position with one alcoholic terminus uncoordinated. The uncoordinated portion of the molecule is disordered with each conformation participating in slightly different hydrogen bonding environments. The other unique cadmium center is coordinated to four bridging bromides and twotrans water molecules.

The crystal structure consists of molecules of [MoCl(CO)₂(NCMe)₂(³-C₃H₄Me-2)] with crystallographically imposed C_s symmetry and has a pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the -allyl group trans- to the chloro group and the two cis-carbonyl and acetonitrile groups occupying the equatorial plane.

In aqueous solution, [M(chelate)Cl₂]x (chelate = 2,2-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline) complexes can disproportionate to produce M(chelate)₂ ⁿ⁺ species that contain two chelating ligands. After extraction with organic solvent,Co(phen)₂(-Cl)₂CoCl₂(1) has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 10.278(2)Å, b = 22.026(5)Å, c = 12.941(3)Å, = 103.959(4)°, Z = 4, 2414 reflections [I 2 (I)], R ₁ = 0.0321, wR ₂ = 0.0864). However, addition of [M(chelate)Cl₂]x starting materials to dimethyl sulfoxide produces complexes that retain a single chelate ligand. The pentacoordinate complex Co(bpy)Cl₂DMSO (2) has been structurally characterized (triclinic, P , a = 7.824(2)Å, b = 9.570(4)Å, c = 10.025(2)Å, = 83.24(3)°, = 87.14(2)°, = 83.35(3)°, Z = 2, 2455 reflections [I 2 (I)], R ₁ = 0.0278, wR ₂ = 0.0747). In the case of nickel, two different geometric isomers are observed, depending on the chelate identity: trans-(DMSO)₂Ni(bpy)Cl₂ DMSO (3) (monoclinic, P21/c, a = 10.9149(8)Å, b = 12.1287(9)Å, c = 17.0044(13)Å, = 98.610(1)°, Z = 4,3519 reflections [I 2 (I)], R ₁ = 0.0209, wR ₂ = 0.0560) and cis-(DMSO)₂Ni(phen)Cl₂ (4) (monoclinic, P21/c, a = 8.404(2)Å, b = 14.051(4)Å, c = 16.710(4)Å, = 92.44(3)°, Z = 4, 3069 reflections [I 2 (I)], R ₁ = 0.0691, wR ₂ = 0.1782).     

Synthesis and structural analysis of (μ-SCH2CH2CH2S-μ)Fe2(CO)5(2-C5H4NPPh2)

Treatment of (μ-SCH₂CH₂CH₂S-μ)Fe₂(CO)₆ with equimolar 2-C₅H₄NPPh₂ in the presence of Me₃NO·2H₂O in CH₂Cl₂/MeCN solutions gave the title complex (μ-SCH₂CH₂CH₂S-μ)Fe₂(CO)₅(2-C₅H₄NPPh₂) in 76% yield. The title complex was characterized by spectroscopy as well as by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structure consists of a butterfly [Fe₂S₂] cluster with propane, five carbonyls, and 2-C₅H₄NPPh₂. In the crystal packing diagram, intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds between phenyl and carbonyl groups stabilize the solid state.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate. An example of a six-coordinate cis-octahedral ZnN4O2 chromophore

The crystal structure of bis(2,2-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate, [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)][ClO₄] (1) has been determined. The complex is monoclinic, with a = 10.9195(4) Å, b = 12.2320(5) Å, c = 16.5477(8) Å, = 105.6150(10), P2₁/n space group, with final R1 = 0.0657 and wR2 = 0.1630. The complex involves a [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)]⁺ cation and a [ClO₄]^– anion. The ZnN₄O₂ chromophore is six-coordinate, with a cis-distortion of the two oxygens of the nitrite, O(1) and O(2), at distances 2.216(5) and 2.197(5) Å from the zinc (Zn– O _mean = 2.206(5) Å, O = 0.019(5) Å) and two out of plane Zn–N bonds, Zn–N(2) and Zn–N(3), at 2.129(4) and 2.135(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/out = 2.132(4) Å, n _2,3 = 0.006(4) Å). The two inplane nitrogens, N(1) and N(4), at distances Zn–N(1) = 2.090(4) and Zn–N(4) = 2.085(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/in = 2.087(4) Å, n _1,4 = 0.005(4) Å) are greater than 2.0 Å, but slightly shorter than the axial bonds. The inplane angles ₁, ₂, and ₃ in 1 have values 150.33(18), 108.98(17), and 99.73(18) respectively. The stereochemistry is cis-distorted octahedral, with an ₃ = 99.37(18), which is lower than ₃ = 103.4(1) observed in [Zn(bipy)₂(ONO)][NO₃] (5). Comparison with the corresponding [Cu(bipy)₂(ONO)][Y] complexes suggested that the cis-distortion of the CuN₄O₂ chromophore in the copper(II) series does not originate in the Jahn–Teller or pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect.     

Complexes in the Ni2+-imidazole-RN(CH2COO−)2 systems. The crystal structures of tris(imidazole)iminodiacetatonickel(II) monohydrate, hexa(imidazole)nickel(II) bis(N-methyliminodiacetato)nickelate(II) hexahydrate, and tetra(aqua)bis(imidazole)nickel(II) bis(N-benzyliminodiacetato)nickelate(II)

Crystals of different compositions, namely, [Ni(Ida)(Im)₃] ? H₂O (I), [Ni(Im)₆][Ni(Mida)₂] ? 6H₂O (II), and [Ni(Im)₂(H₂O)₄][Ni(Bida)₂] (III), have been precipitated from aqueous solutions of the Ni²⁺-Lig ^2?-Im systems, where Lig ^2? is Ida, Mida, and Bida, respectively. The crystal structures of I–III are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (R = 0.0307, 0.0348, and 0.0302 for 3061, 4706, and 2882 reflections, respectively). Crystals I are built of monomeric mixed-ligand complexes and molecules of crystallization water, which are interlinked by hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework. In II and III, the ligands Lig ^2? and Im form charged complexes separately. In II, the cationic and anionic layers of the complexes alternate along the c-axis. Numerous hydrogen bonds involving molecules of crystallization water link the layers into a three-dimensional framework. In III, the cationic and anionic complexes, which serve as proton donors and acceptors, respectively, are bound into layers parallel to the xy plane.

The final conventionalR value was 0.079 based on 1575 observed reflections. The molecule resides on a center of inversion. The (H₂O·HBF₄) moieties are best viewed as fluoroboric acid monohydrate molecules hydrogen bonded to the crown ether, one above and one below the plane of the crown. The FO(water) hydrogen bond separation is 2.474(5)Å, and the O(crown)O(water) separations are 2.834(5) and 2.841(6) Å. The oxygen atoms of the crown ether are planar to 0.23 Å.     

Structural study of nitrovinylindoles: (I) 2-methyl-3-(2′-methyl-2′-nitrovinyl)indole and (II) 3-(2′-nitrovinyl)indole

Compound (I) is 2-methyl-3-(2-methyl-2-nitrovinyl)indole, C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂,M _r=216.24, monoclinic,P2₁/n,a=16.710(1),b=7.627(1),c=17.646(1) Å,=104.8(1)°,V=2174.7(1) ų,Z=8.D _x=1.321 g cm^–3, MoK, =0.71073 Å,=0.858 cm^–1,F(OOO)=912, room temperature,R=0.061 for 1956 observed reflections. Compound (II) is 3-(2-nitrovinyl)indole, C₁₀H₈N₂O₂,M _r=188.18, monoclinic,P2₁/n,a=10.178(1),b=10.608(1),c=8.411(1) Å,=105.5(2)°,V=875.0(1) ų,Z=4,D _x=1.4284 g cm^–3, CuK, =1.5418 Å,=8.068 cm^–1,F(000)=392, room temperature,R=0.040 for 1330 observed reflections. Compounds (I) and (II) have a similar geometry, the only significant difference lying in the rotation of the nitrovinyl chain. This feature could be responsible for the difference in biological activity. In both compounds, the molecules are associated, forming charge-transfer complexes.
