The solid state structure of the compound is characterized by a large triclinic unit cell (space group, P1, a = 9.422(2), b = 22.594(5), c = 32.153(7) Å, α = 72.64(1), β = 85.19(1), γ = 86.15(1)°, Z = 12) and shows an unusual arrangement due to long‐range contacts between the technetium atoms and sulfur atoms of the [Au(Et₂dtc)₂]⁺ units (3.45–3.56 Å) which assemble two anions and one cation to {[TcNCl₄][Au(Et₂dtc)₂] · [TcNCl₄]}^– moieties.     

Complexation of the 2, 4, 6‐Triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine with Copper(I,II) Chlorides. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [CuCl2·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], [Cu7Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], and [Cu8Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3]·2C2H5OH

Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 reflections. Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.     

Neue Oxonium-Bromochalkogenate(IV) — Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [H3O][TeBr5] · 3C4H8O2 und [H3O]2[SeBr6]

New Oxonium Bromochalcogenates(IV) — Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ and [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] Dark red crystals of the composition [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ ( 1 ) were isolated from a saturated solution of TeBr₄ in 1,4-dioxane containing a small amount of water. In this compound (space group P2₁/m, a = 8.922(4) Å, b = 13.204(7) Å, c = 9.853(5) Å, β = 91.82(4)° at 150 K) a square pyramidal [TeBr₅]^? anion has been isolated for the first time. The coordination sphere of the anion is completed to a distorted octahedron by weak interaction with a dioxane molecule of the cationic system. The [H₃O]⁺ cations are connected to chains by dioxane molecules. At room temperature the compound is stable only in its mother liquor. Crystalline [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] ( 2 ) (space group Fm3m, a = 10.421(1) Å at 170 K) is a bromoselenous acid of high symmetry. The [H₃O]⁺ ion is only weakly coordinated by Br atoms of the anion. The anions are isolated octahedral [SeBr₆]^2? units. The structure is isotypic to the K₂[PtCl₆] structure. Despite being a halogenochalcogen(IV) acid, 2 exhibits a remarkable thermal stability. Both oxonium compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. Vibrational spectra of 2 are reported.     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur der ersten Vertreter des neuen Verbindungstyps Pb4[SiO4]X4 mit X = Cl,Br

Inhaltsübersicht. Die beiden silicathaltigen Blei(II)-oxidhalogenide Pb₄[SiO₄]Cl₄ und Pb₄[SiO₄]Br₄ wurden erstmals dargestellt und ihre Kristallstruktur an Einkristallen mit Röntgen-beugungsmethoden ermittelt. Die Verbindungen kristallisieren in der monoklinen Raumgruppe P2₁/c (No. 14) mit den Gitterparametern: Pb₄[SiO₄]Cl₄: A = 8,73(1) Å, b = 15,68(1) Å, c = 8,265(6) Å, β = 92,4(1)°, Z = 4 Pb₄[SiO₄]Br₄: A = 9,00(1) Å, b = 16,217(8) Å, c = 8,404(4) Å, β = 92,4(1)°, Z = 4 Im Gegensatz zu der “nichtstöchiometrischen” Verbindungsgruppe um Pb₈O₇Br₂ · SiO₂ konnten hier alle Atomlagen ermittelt werden. Es liegen einzelne SiO₄-Gruppen vor, die über Pb²⁺ zu leicht gewellten Netzen verbunden sind. Zwischenräume und Löcher der Netze werden von Halogenidionen aufgefüllt. Preparation and Crystal Structures of the First Two Members of a New Type of Lead (II) Oxyhalides, Pb₄[SiO₄]X₄ (X = Cl, Br) Both silicate-bearing lead(II) oxyhalides Pb₄[SiO₄]Cl₄ and Pb₄[SiO₄]Br₄ were prepared and studied for their crystal structure with X-ray single crystal methods for the first time. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (No. 14) with following lattice parameters: Pb₄[SiO₄]Cl₄: A = 8.73(1) Å, b = 15.68(1) Å, c = 8.205(6) Å, β = 92.4(1)°, Z = 4 Pb₄[SiO₄]Br₄: A = 9.00(1) Å, b = 16.217(8) Å, c = 8.404(4) Å, β = 92.4(1)°, Z = 4. In contrast with further works about the group of nonstoichiometric lead oxyhalides Pb₈O₇Br₂ · SiO₂ in the present work all atomic positions were determined. The crystal structure shows single SiO₄ groups linked only by Pb²⁺ ions to form slightly undulated nets. Holes and interspaces of these nets are stuffed with halide ions.

Thiochloroarsenates (III): Preparation, Vibrational Spectra, and Crystal Structures of PPh₄[As₂SCl₅] and (PPh₄)₂[As₂SCl₆] · C₂H₄Cl₂ PPh₄[As₂SCl₅] can be obtained from As₂S₃ + PPh₄Cl with HCl in CH₂Cl₂ or 1,2-C₂H₄Cl₂. It reacts with a second mole of PPh₄Cl to yield (PPh₄)₂[As₂SCl₆]. The latter also is formed by the reaction of As₂S₅ + 2 PPh₄Cl with HCl, a second product being (PPh₄)₂[As₂Cl₈]. The i.r. and Raman spectra of the title compounds are reported. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: PPh₄[As₂SCl₅], monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 1175.8, b = 1508.0, c = 1593.4 pm, β = 96.22°, Z = 4; (PPh₄)₂[As₂SCl₆] · C₂H₄Cl₂, triclinic, P1, a = 1166.3, b = 1188.2, c = 2044.6 pm, α = 95.47, β = 97.53, γ = 111.05°, Z = 2. Including the lone electron pairs, the coordination of the As atoms in the [As₂SCl₅]^? ion is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal with the S, one Cl atom, and an electron pair in equatorial positions; the two bipyramids around the two As atoms share a common edge. The As atoms in the [As₂SCl₆]^2? ion have a distorted octahedral coordination, the two octahedra share a common face; the lone electron pairs are in the trans positions to the S atom.     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von cis-(Et4N)[OsF2Cl4] und trans-(Ph4P)[OsF2Cl4]

Crystal Structures, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of cis -(Et₄N)[OsF₂Cl₄] and trans -(Ph₄P)[OsF₂Cl₄] By oxidation of the pure fluorochloroosmates(IV) with KBrF₄ or PbO₂/trifluoracetic acid in dichloromethane the mixed pentavalent complex anions cis-[OsF₂Cl₄]^– and trans-[OsF₂Cl₄]^– are formed. X-ray structure determinations on single crystals have been performed of cis-(Et₄N) · [OsF₂Cl₄] ( 1 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 7.519(2), b = 17.648(2), c = 11.942(4) Å, β = 105.98(2)°, Z = 4) and trans-(Ph₄P)[OsF₂Cl₄] ( 2 ) (tetragonal, space group P4/n, a = 12.677(2), c = 7.743(1) Å, Z = 2). Based on the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations and assuming C_2v point symmetry for the anion of 1 and D_4h point symmetry for the anion of 2 the IR and Raman spectra have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis. Due to the stronger trans influence of chlorine as compared with fluorine for F ^· –Os–Cl′ axes significally different valence force constants are observed in comparison with symmetrically coordinated axes: f_d(OsF ^· ) = 3.35, f_d(OsF) = 3.73, f_d(OsCl′) = 2.05 and f_d(OsCl) with 1.98 and 2.00 mdyn/Å.
