A New ?Orthoindate”? of an Alkali Metal: K₅[InO₄] Hitherto unknown K₅[InO₄] was prepared by heating intimate mixtures of K₂O, In₂O₃ and elementar In (molar ratio 10.0 : 1.0 : 4.0) in closed Ni-cylinders (30 days, 500°C) in form of pale red, nearly colourless, transparent, single crystals. Same crystals were obtained by heating mixtures of K₂O, CdO and elementar In (molar ratio 3.1 : 1.0 : 1.0) in closed Ag-cylinders (30 days, 450°C), too. In this case we also found yellow-brown crystals of K₁₄[In₄O₁₃] [1]. Structure determination by four circle diffractometer data (MoKα, 15279 out 17454 I_o(hkl), R = 5.60%, R_w = 5.25%). Space group P1 with a = 1827.9 pm; b = 1694.4 pm; c = 1329.4 pm; α = 113.3°; β = 111.4°; γ = 105.2°; Z = 16. Characteristic feature of the structure are isolated [InO₄]^5?-tetraeder. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, the Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, and Charge Distribution, VADI, are calculated.     

Mesityl‐phenolato‐vanadium(III)‐Komplexe: Synthese,Struktur und Verhalten

Mesityl‐vanadium(III)‐phenolate Complexes: Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity Protolysis reactions of [VMes₃(THF)] with ortho‐substituted phenols (2‐iso‐propyl‐(H–IPP), 2‐tert‐butyl(H–TBP), 2,4,6‐trimethylphenol (HOMes) and 2,2′biphenol (H₂–Biphen) yield the partially and fully phenolate substituted complexes [VMes(OAr)₂(THF)₂] (OAr = IPP ( 1 ), TBP ( 2 )), [VMes₂(OMes)(THF)] ( 4 ), [V(OAr)₃(THF)₂] (OAr = TBP ( 3 ), OMes ( 5 )), and [V₂(Biphen)₃(THF)₄] ( 6 ). Treatment of 6 with Li₂Biphen(Et₂O)₄ results in formation of [{Li(OEt₂)}₃V(Biphen)₃] ( 7 ) and with MesLi complexes [{Li(THF)₂}₂VMes(Biphen)₂] · THF ( 8 ) and [{Li(DME)}VMes₂(Biphen)] ( 9 ) are formed. Reacting [VCl₃(THF)₃] with LiOMes in 1 : 1 to 1 : 4 ratios yields the componds [VCl_3–n(OMes)_n(THF)₂] (n = 1 ( 5 b ), 2 ( 5 a ), 3 ( 5 )) and [{Li(DME)₂}V(OMes)₄] ( 5 c ), the latter showing thermochromism due to a complexation/decomplexation equilibrium of the solvated cation. The mixed ligand mesityl phenolate complexes [{Li(DME)_n}{VMes₂(OAr)₂}] (OAr = IPP ( 10 ), TBP ( 11 ), OMes ( 12 ) (n = 2 or 3) and [{Li(DME)₂}{VMes(OMes)₃}] ( 15 ) are obtained by reaction of 1 , 2 , 5 a and 5 with MesLi. With [{Li(DME)₂(THF)}{VMes₃(IPP)}] ( 13 ) a ligand exchange product of 10 was isolated. Addition of LiOMes to [VMes₃(THF)] forming [Li(THF)₄][VMes₃(OMes)] ( 14 ) completes the series of [Li(solv.)_x][VMes_4–n(OMes)_n] (n = 1 to 4) complexes which have been oxidised to their corresponding neutral [VMes_4–n(OMes)_n] derivatives 16 to 19 by reaction with p‐chloranile. They were investigated by epr spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1 , 3 , 5 , 5 a , 5 a – Br , 7 , 10 and 13 have been determined by X‐ray analysis.
