Copper(I) π‐Complexes with 2‐Butyne‐1,4‐diol. Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Na[CuCl2(HOCH2C≡CCH2OH)]·2H2O

Crystals of anionic Na[CuCl₂(HOCH₂C≡CCH₂OH)]·2H₂O π‐complex have been synthesized by interaction of 2‐butyne‐1,4‐diol with CuCl in a concentrated aqueous NaCl solution and characterized by X‐ray diffraction at 100 K. The crystals are triclinic: space group , a = 7.142(3), b = 7.703(3), c = 10.425(4) Å, α = 105.60(3), β = 99.49(3), γ = 110.43(3)°, V = 495.9(4) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0203 for 3496 reflections. The structure is built of discrete [CuCl₂(HOCH₂C≡CCH₂OH)]^? anionic stacks and polymeric cations among the stacks. The Cu^I atom adopts trigonal planar coordination of two Cl^? anions and the C≡C bond of 2‐butyne‐1,4‐diol, Cu–(C≡C) distance is equal to 1.903(3) Å. Na⁺ cations environment is octahedral and consists of O and Cl atoms. The crystal packing is governed by strong hydrogen bonds of O–H···Cl and O–H···O types.

Chloro‐N′,N′‐dimethylformamidinium‐(dimethylcyanamide)trichloroberyllate, [Me₂NC(Cl)NH₂]⁺[BeCl₃(NCNMe₂)]^? was prepared from BeCl₂ with two equivalents of dimethylcyanamide in CH₂Cl₂ suspension.

Space group , Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 620.7(1), b = 744.9(2), c = 1520.3(3) pm, α = 96.87(2)°, β = 100.41(2)°, γ = 100.17(2)°, R₁ = 0.0443. Cations and anions form N–H…Cl hydrogen bridges along [010].     

The Reaction of the Betain‐like Compound O2C2(PPh3)2 with [(cod)PtI2] – Crystal Structure of the Salt (HC{PPh3}2)[(η3‐C8H11)PtI2]

The reaction of the betain‐like compound O₂C₂(PPh₃)₂ ( 1 ) with [(cod)PtX₂] in THF solution gives the salt‐like compounds (HC{PPh₃}₂)[(η³‐C₈H₁₁)PtX₂] ( 3 , X = I; 4 , X = Cl) in about quantitative yields. The new η³‐bonded C₈H₁₁ ligand is the result of a proton transfer from the coordinated cod ligand to 1 with subsequent release of CO₂. The X‐ray analysis of 3 shows the presence of two isomers in a 60:40 ratio, which differ in the bonding of the C₈H₁₁ ligand. 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group with the unit cell dimensions a = 1091.7(1), b = 1141.5(1), c = 1649.4(2) pm; α = 80.34(1)°, β = 83.62(1)°, γ = 89.03(1)°, V = 2013.7(4)·10⁶ pm³, Z = 2.

Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Structures of Mono‐ and Dinuclear Copper(I) Halide Complexes with 1,3‐Imidazolidine‐2‐thiones

Copper(I) halides with triphenyl phosphine and imidaozlidine‐2‐thiones (L ‐NMe, L ‐NEt, and L ‐NPh) in acetonitrile/methanol (or dichloromethane) yielded copper(I) mixed‐ligand complexes: mononuclear, namely, [CuCl(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NMe)(PPh₃)₂] ( 1 ), [CuBr(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NMe)(PPh₃)₂] ( 2 ), [CuBr(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NEt)(PPh₃)₂] ( 5 ), [CuI(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NEt)(PPh₃)₂] ( 6 ), [CuCl(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NPh)(PPh₃)₂] ( 7 ), and [CuBr(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NPh)(PPh₃)₂] ( 8 ), and dinuclear, [Cu₂(κ¹‐I)₂(μ‐S‐L ‐NMe)₂(PPh₃)₂] ( 3 ) and [Cu₂(μ‐Cl)₂(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NEt)₂(PPh₃)₂] ( 4 ). All complexes were characterized with analytical data, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystallography. Complexes 2 – 4 , 7 , and 8 each formed crystals in the triclinic system with P$\bar{1}$ space group, whereas complexes 1 , 5 , and 6 crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with space groups P2₁/c, C2/c, and P2₁/n, respectively. Complex 2 has shown two independent molecules, [(CuBr(κ¹‐S‐L ‐NMe)(PPh₃)₂] and [CuBr(PPh₃)₂] in the unit cell. For X = Cl, the thio‐ligand bonded to metal as terminal in complex 4 , whereas for X = I it is sulfur‐bridged in complex 3 .
