New Hexachalcogeno–Hypodiphosphates of the Alkali Metals: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Vibrational Spectra of the Hexathiodiphosphate(IV) Hydrates K4[P2S6] · 4 H2O,Rb4[P2S6] · 6 H2O,and Cs4[P2S6] · 6 H2O

The new hexathiodiphosphate(IV) hydrates K₄[P₂S₆] · 4 H₂O ( 1 ), Rb₄[P₂S₆] · 6 H₂O ( 2 ), and Cs₄[P₂S₆] · 6 H₂O ( 3 ) were synthesized by soft chemistry reactions from aqueous solutions of Na₄[P₂S₆] · 6 H₂O and the corresponding heavy alkali‐metal hydroxides. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. K₄[P₂S₆] · 4 H₂O ( 1 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/n with a = 803.7(1), b = 1129.2(1), c = 896.6(1) pm, β = 94.09(1)°, Z = 2. Rb₄[P₂S₆] · 6 H₂O ( 2 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/c with a = 909.4(2), b = 1276.6(2), c = 914.9(2) pm, β = 114.34(2)°, Z = 2. Cs₄[P₂S₆] · 6 H₂O ( 3 ) crystallizes in the triclinic space group with a = 742.9(2), b = 929.8(2), c = 936.8(2) pm, α = 95.65(2), β = 112.87(2), γ = 112.77(2)°, Z = 1. The structures are built up by discrete [P₂S₆]^4? anions in staggered conformation, the corresponding alkali‐metal cations and water molecules. O ··· S and O ··· O hydrogen bonds between the [P₂S₆]^4? anions and the water molecules consolidate the structures into a three‐dimensional network. The different water‐content compositions result by the corresponding alkali‐metal coordination polyhedra and by the prefered number of water molecules in their coordination sphere, respectively. The FT‐Raman and FT‐IR/FIR spectra of the title compounds have been recorded and interpreted, especially with respect to the [P₂S₆]^4? group. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that K₄[P₂S₆] · 4 H₂O converted to K₄[P₂S₆] as it was heated at 100 °C.

Two supramolecular architectures, [Mn(3‐bpd)₂(NCS)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and {[Mn(bpe)(NCS)₂(H₂O)₂]·(3‐bpd)·(bpe)·H₂O}_n ( 2 ) [bpe = 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene and 3‐bpd = 1,4‐bis(3‐pyridyl)‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene] have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic, elemental and single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with chemical formula C₂₆H₂₈Mn N₁₀O₄S₂, a = 9.1360(6), b = 9.7490(6), c = 17.776(1) Å, β = 93.212(1)°, and Z = 2 while compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2₁2₁2₁, with chemical formula C₃₈H₃₆Mn₁N₁₀O₃S₂, a = 14.1902(6), b = 15.4569(7), c = 18.2838(8) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, and Z = 4. Structural determination reveals that the coordination geometry at Mn(II) in compound 1 or 2 is a distorted octahedral which consists of two nitrogen donors of two NCS^?ligands, two oxygen donors of two water molecules, and two nitrogen donors of two 3‐bpd ligands for 1 and two dpe ligands for 2 , respectively. The two 3‐bpd ligands in 1 adopt a monodentate binding mode and the dpe in 2 adopts a bismonodentate bridging mode to connect the Mn(II) ions forming a 1D chain‐like coordination polymer. Both the π‐π stacking interactions between the coordinated and the free pyridyl‐based ligands and intermolecular hydrogen bonds among the coordinated and the crystallized water molecules and the free pyridyl‐based ligands play an important role in construction of these 3D supramolecular architectures.

The connection of Mn²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄]^4— yields a three‐dimensional coordination polymer with two different, channel‐like voids extending parallel to [110]. The first channel accomodates water molecules, the second channel is filled by isonicotinic acid molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis in air revealed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 97 and 200 °C. The dehydrated sample was stable between 200 and 340 °C. Further decomposition yielded Mn₃O₄.

The centrosymmetric dinuclear molecules, in which the Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms from two H₂O molecules and two bis‐monodentate succinato ligands, are assembled via π‐π stacking interactions into 2 D supramolecular layers parallel to (101) (d(Mn–O) = 2.123–2.265 Å, d(Mn–N) = 2.307 Å). The crystal structure of 2 (P1 (no. 2), a = 14.289(2) Å, b = 15.182(2) Å, c = 15.913(2) Å, α = 67.108(7)°, β = 87.27(1)°, γ = 68.216(8)°, V = 2934.2(7) ų, Z = 2) is composed of the [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ cations, [Mn(phen)₂(C₄H₄O₄)] complex molecules, (C₄H₄O₄)^2– anions, and H₂O molecules. The (C₄H₄O₄)^2– anions and H₂O molecules form 3 D hydrogen bonded network and the cations and complex molecules in the tunnels along [001] and [011], respectively, are assembled via the π‐π stacking interactions into 1 D supramolecular chains. The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate chelating phen ligands and two water O atoms or two carboxyl O atoms (d(Mn–O) = 2.088–2.129 Å, d(Mn–N) = 2.277–2.355 Å). Interestingly, the succinato ligands in the complex molecules assume gauche conformation bidentately to chelate the Mn atoms into seven‐membered rings.     

Dicarboxylatgruppen als Liganden und Anionen in Aquamagnesiumkomplexen: Kristallstrukturen von [Mg (C4H2O4)(H2O)4] · H2O und [Mg(H2O)6](C4HO4)2 · 2H2O ((C4H2O4)2— = Fumarat; (C4HO4)— = Hydrogenacetylendicarboxylat)

Synthesis and crystal structure of heteronuclear La( III )‐Cu(II ) complex { [LaCu2(NTA)2(4,4′‐bpy)(H2O)3]NO3·5H2O}n

A novel La( III )‐Cu( II ) heterometallic coordination polymer {[LaCu₂(NTA)₂(4,4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₃]NO₃·5H₂O]_n, where H₃NTA denotes nitrilotriacetic acid and 4,4′‐bpy denotes 4, 4‐bipyridine, was synthesized and characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis and X‐ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pi with cell parameters a = 1.33710(10) nm, b = 1,44530(10) nm, c =1.0949(2) nm, α = 71.905(7)°, β = 74.327(7)°, γ = 64.427(9)°, V = 1.7912(4) nm³and Z = 2. It consists of heterometallic units, in which each La( II ) ion is coordinated in a distorted monocapped square antiprism by three oxygen atoms from water molecules and six carboxyl oxygen atoms from five NTA^3? ions, and each Cu( I ) ion is coordinated by one nitrogen atom from 4,4′‐bpy and one nitrogen atom, three oxygen atoms from NTA^3?. In the title complex, La( I ) ions and Cu( II ) ions are connected by the heterometallic bridging of NTA^3?, constructing a two‐dimensional network structure along the [110]. And it is extended into an infinite three‐dimensional network structure by the formation of homometallic bridging of Cu‐4, 4′‐bpy‐Cu, exhibiting a certain inclusion ability.     

Syntheses and Structures of two Cobalt Coordination Polymers with Iminodiacetate Ligands: [CoII2(ida)2(H2O)2]n and [Na2CoIII2(ida)4(H2O)4]n·2nH2O

Two cobalt coordination polymers [Co^II₂(ida)₂(H₂O)₂]_n ( 1 ) and [Na₂Co^III₂(ida)₄(H₂O)₄]_n·2nH₂O ( 2 ) (H₂ida = iminodiacetic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 exhibits a two‐dimensional framework, in which two cobalt atoms exhibit different coordination environments: one is equatorially coordinated by two ida ligands, while another is coordinated by two water molecules and four ida ligands. It is most interesting that, in compound 2 , the ida ligands exhibit different coordination modes. The organic coordination anions [Co^III(ida)₂]^— are linked up by sodium ions to form a two‐dimensional layer.     

Zu den Kristallstrukturen der Übergangsmetall(II)‐Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborat‐Hydrate Cu(H2O)5,5[B12H12]·2,5 H2O und Zn(H2O)6[B12H12]·6 H2O

On the Crystal Structures of the Transition‐Metal(II) Dodecahydro‐closo‐Dodecaborate Hydrates Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O and Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with basic copper(II) carbonate or zinc carbonate, blue lath‐shaped single crystals of the octahydrate Cu[B₁₂H₁₂]·8 H₂O (≡ Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O) and colourless face‐rich single crystals of the dodecahydrate Zn[B₁₂H₁₂]·12 H₂O (≡ Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O) could be isolated after isothermic evaporation. Copper(II) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate octahydrate crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic system with the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pm (Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O: a = 768.23(5), b = 1434.48(9), c = 777.31(5) pm, β = 90.894(6)°; Z = 2), whereas zinc dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate dodecahydrate crystallizes cubic in the likewise non‐centrosymmetric space group F23 (Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O: a = 1637.43(9) pm; Z = 8). The crystal structure of Cu(H₂O)_5.5[B₁₂H₁₂]·2.5 H₂O can be described as a monoclinic distortion variant of the CsCl‐type arrangement. As characteristic feature the formation of isolated [Cu₂(H₂O)₁₁]⁴⁺ units as a condensate of two corner‐linked Jahn‐Teller distorted [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra via an oxygen atom of crystal water can be considered. Since “zeolitic” water of hydratation is also present, obviously both classical H–O^δ?···^+δH–O and non‐classical B–H^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds play a significant role for the stabilization of the structure. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions on the Cu²⁺ cations has not been determined. The zinc compound Zn(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]·6 H₂O crystallizes in a NaTl‐type related structure. Two crystallographically different [Zn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ octahedra are present, which only differ in their relative orientation within the packing of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions. The stabilization of the crystal structure takes place mainly via H–O^δ?···^+δH–O hydrogen bonds, since again the hydrogen atoms of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2? anions have no direct coordinative influence on the Zn²⁺ cations.
