Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[In(S4)(S6)Cl] und (PPh4)2[In(S4)Cl3]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Cl] and (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)Cl₃] InCl and PPh₄Cl yield (PPh₄)₂[In₂Cl₆] in acetonitrile. This reacts with Na₂S₄ in presence of PPh₄Cl, forming (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Cl]. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction (R = 0.075, 2 282 observed reflexions). It is isotypic with (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Br] and contains anions with trigonal-bipyramidal coordination of In, Cl occupying an axial position, and the S₄ and S₆ groups being bonded in a chelate manner. The reaction of (PPh₄)₂[In₂Cl₆] and sulfur in acetonitrile yielded (PPh₄)₂[InCl₅] and (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)Cl₃]. The crystal structure analysis of the latter (R = 0.072, 4 080 reflexions) revealed an anion with distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination of In, the S₄ group occupying one axial and one equatorial position; the S₄ group shows positional disorder.     

Darstellung von trans-[Mo6Cl8]Cl4Br22−ausgehend von kristallisierten [Mo6Cl8]Cl4(H2O)2 und die Kristallstruktur von [(C6H5)4As]2[Mo6Cl8]Cl4Br2

Preparation of trans-[Mo₆Cl₈]Cl₄Br₂^2? Starting from Crystalline [Mo₆Cl₈]Cl₄(H₂O)₂ and Crystal Structure of [(C₆H₅)₄As]₂[Mo₆Cl₈]Cl₄Br₂ The synthesis of the title compound is successful if the crystallized [(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₄(H₂O)₂] containing the H₂O molecules in trans-position reacts with HBr + [(C₆H₅)₄As]Br in ethanol in a heterogeneous reaction. The X-ray structure investigation confirms the existence of discrete trans-Br-substituted cluster anions of composition [(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₄Br₂]^2? in the crystal. The reaction in homogeneous solutions proceeds to Br-enriched compounds. [(C₆H₅)₄As]₂[(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₄Br₂] crystallizes in the triclinic space group P¯1 with a = 11.071(2), b = 11.418(2), c = 12.813(2) Å, α = 116.10(2), β = 95.27(2) and γ = 94.41(2)° (?133°C). The crystal structure at ?133°C was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data (R₁ = 0.026). The [(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₄Br₂]^2?-anions are not completely ordered but distributed statistically among the three positions which are possible within the limits of the ordered [Mo₆Cl₈]-cores (ratio 11:5:4). The frameworks of the anions consist of Mo₆ cluster units with (slightly distorted) octahedral arrangement of the metal atoms (d(Mo? Mo): 2.600(1) up to 2.614(1) Å), which are coordinated by the halogeno ligands in a square-pyramidal manner. The details of the structure will be discussed and compared with similar [(Mo₆X₈)Y₄] cluster units (X, Y ? Cl, Br).

Three-dimensional Octameric Assembly of Icosahedral M13 Units in [Au8Ag57(Dppp)4(C6H11S)32Cl2]Cl and its [Au8Ag55(Dppp)4(C6H11S)34][BPh4]2 Derivative

The high-dimensional (that is, three-dimensional (3D)) assembly of nanomaterials is an effective means of improving their properties; however, achieving this assembly at the atomic level remains challenging. Herein, we obtained a novel nanocluster, [Au₈Ag₅₇(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₂C_l2]Cl (Dppp=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) showing a 3D octameric assembly mode involving the kernel penetration of eight complete icosahedral Au@Ag₁₀Au₂ units for the first time. The atomically precise structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and further confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry measurements. Furthermore, ligand-induced transformation prompted the conversion of [Au₈Ag₅₇(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₂Cl₂]Cl, with complete octameric fusion into [Au₈Ag₅₅(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₄][BPh₄]₂, with incomplete octameric fusion. These observations will hopefully facilitate further research on the assembly of M₁₃ nanobuilding blocks.

Reactions of LiNPPh₃ with the Cyclooctatetraenide Complexes [Ln(C₈H₈)Cl(THF)₂]₂ of Cerium and Samarium. Crystal Structures of [LiNPPh₃]₆, [Ln(C₈H₈)Li₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₂(THF)₃] (Ln = Ce, Sm) and [Li(THF)₄][Sm(C₈H₈)₂] LiNPPh₃ reacts with the cyclooctatetraenide complexes [Ln(C₈H₈)Cl(THF)₂]₂ of cerium and samarium in tetrahydrofuran solution forming the phosphorane iminato complexes [Ln(C₈H₈)Li₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₂(THF)₃]. According to crystal structure analyses these complexes show heterocubane structures under participation of the lanthanoid metal atom, of the three Li atoms as well as of the two Cl und the two N atoms of the NPPh₃^– groups. The crystal structure of LiNPPh₃ shows hexameric molecules with a Li₆N₆ polyhedron which is peripherally shielded by the phenyl groups. The structure of [Li(THF)₄][Sm(C₈H₈)₂], which has been isolated as a by-product, contains the samarium atom in a sandwichlike coordination by the two η⁸-C₈H₈^2– rings as it is also known from the corresponding anions with cerium and neodymium.
