A series of arylantimony ferrocenecarboxylates with the formula (C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂)_nSbAr_(5?n) (n = 1, 2; Ar = C₆H₅, 4‐CH₃C₆H₄, 3‐CH₃C₆H₄, 2‐CH₃C₆H₄, 4‐ClC₆H₄, 4‐FC₆H₄) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. The crystal structures of (C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂)₂Sb(4‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃ and C₅H₅FeC₅H₄CO₂SbPh₄ were determined by X‐ray diffraction. Four human neoplastic cell lines (HL‐60, Bel‐7402, KB and Hela) were used to screen these compounds. The results indicate that these compounds at 10 µM show certain in vitro antitumor activities.

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of CF₃C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH₃)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ ( 1 ) and 4‐NO₂‐C₆H₄N(H)P(O)[4‐CH₃‐NC₅H₉]₂ ( 6 ) were confirmed by X‐ray single crystal determination. Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Zur Umsetzung von Kupfer(I)‐ und Kupfer(II)‐Salzen mit P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 ‐ die Festkörperstrukturen von {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuOClO3}ClO4, {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]Cu}ClO4, [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuONO2 und [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)2(C6H4CH2NMe2H+NO3‐‐2)]CuONO2

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.

Reactions of one or two equiv. of cyclohexyl isocyanide in THF at room temperature with Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) gave the isocyanide coordinated Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes with functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands, [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂(μ‐η²‐CNC₆H₁₁) ( 1a , R=COCH₃; 1b , R=CO₂CH₃) and [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)(CNC₆H₁₁)]₂ ( 2a , R=COCH₃; 2b , R=CO₂CH₃), respectively. Complexes 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b could be more conveniently prepared by thermal decarbonylation of Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in toluene at reflux, followed by treatment of the resulting Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in situ with cyclohexyl isocyanide. While 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy, 1b was further characterized by X‐ray crystallography.

Every sodium ion coordinates in trigonal prismatic fashion with two O atoms from a terminal chelating catecholato ligand and four O atoms from bridging P2 catecholato ligands, Two neighboring NaO6 trigonal prisms are face-shared and centrosymmetric with regard to the inversion center consisting of four tri-bridging O atoms to form a binuclear cluster {Na2[μ2-（C6H4O2）2]}^2- anion. The comparison of ^13C NMR spectrum of tlie complex in solid state with that in solution indicated that the rapid exchange between the bridging [μ2-（C6H4O2]^2- and terminal [C6H4OOH]^- ligands was present in solution.     

Hybrid Inorganic‐Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of RbFe(SO4)(C2O4)0.5·H2O and CsM(SO4)(C2O4)0.5·H2O (M = Mn,Fe)

Three new alkali metal transition metal sulfate‐oxalates, RbFe(SO₄)(C₂O₄)_0.5 · H₂O and CsM(SO₄)(C₂O₄)_0.5 · H₂O (M = Mn, Fe) were prepared through hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, solid state UV/Vis/NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder X‐ray diffraction.

Reaction of (η5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2I with Anionic Bidentate Phosphine Ligands PPh2(o‐C6H4NHLi) or PPh2(o‐C6H4OLi)

The o‐substituted hybrid phenylphosphines, PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NH₂) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OH), could be deprotonated with LDA or n‐BuLi to yield PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NHLi) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OLi), respectively. When added to a solution of (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I at room temperature, these two lithiated reagents produce a chelated neutral complex 1 (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)[C(O)NH(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐C,P‐η²] for the former and mainly a zwitterionic complex 2 , (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe⁺(CO)₂[PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄O^?)] for the latter. Complex 1 could easily be protonated and then decarbonylated to give 4 [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO){NH₂(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐N,P‐η²}⁺]. Complexes 1 and 4‐I have been crystallographically characterized with X‐ray diffraction.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen der Bismutchalkogenolate Bi(SC6H5)3, Bi(SeC6H5)3 und Bi(S‐4‐CH3C6H4)3

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Bismuth Chalcogenolato Compounds Bi(SC₆H₅)₃, Bi(SeC₆H₅)₃, and Bi(S‐4‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃ Bismuth(III) acetate reacts with thiophenol in ethyl alcohol at 80 °C to yield Bi(SC₆H₅)₃ ( 1 ). Slow cool down of the deep yellow mixture lead to the formation of orange crystals of 1 . The homotype phenylselenolato compound of bismuth Bi(SeC₆H₅)₃ ( 2 ) has been prepared by the reaction of BiX₃ (X = Cl, Br) with Se(C₆H₅)SiMe₃ in diethyl ether. In the same way as Bi(SC₆H₅)₃ ( 1 ) the reaction between bismuth(III) acetate and 4‐tolulenethiole results in red crystals of Bi(S‐4‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃ ( 3 ). In consideration of three longer Bi–E distances (intermolecular interactions, E = S; Se) the Bi(EPh)₃ molecules form via face‐linked octahedra 1‐dimensional chains in the crystal lattice, while for 3 the 1‐dimensional chain is formed by face‐linked trigonal prisma. We reported herein the synthesis and structures of Bi(SC₆H₅)₃ ( 1 ), Bi(SeC₆H₅)₃ ( 2 ), and Bi(S‐4‐CH₃C₆H₄)₃ ( 3 ).     

Bipy,Phen und P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 in der Synthese kationischer Silber(I)‐Komplexe; die Festkörperstrukturen von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgOTf und [Ag(phen)2]OTf

Bipy, Phen, and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ in the Synthesis of Cationic Silver(I) Complexes; the Solid‐State Structures of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgOTf and [Ag(phen)₂]OTf The reaction of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX ( 1a , X = OTf; 1b , X = OClO₃) with equimolar amounts of L^capL ( 2a , L^capL = 2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy; 2b , L^capL = 4, 4′‐dimethyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy′; 2c , L^capL = 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen) leads to the formation of the cationic complexes {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Ag(L^capL)}⁺X^— (L^capL = bipy: 3a , X = OTf; 3b , X = ClO₄; L^capL = bipy′: 3c , X = OTf; 3d , X = ClO₄; L^capL = phen: 3e , X = OTf; 3f , X = ClO₄) in which the building blocks L^capL and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ act as bidentate chelating ligands and are datively‐bound to the silver atom. Spectroscopic studies reveal that on the NMR time‐scale the phosphane group is dynamic with exchanging the respective Me₂NCH₂ built‐in arms. While complex 3e is stable in the solid‐state, it appeared that solutions of 3e start to decompose upon precipitation of colloidal silver when they are heated or irradiated with light, respectively. Appropriate work‐up of the reaction mixture allows the isolation of the phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 5 ) along with [Ag(phen)₂]OTf ( 4 ). The solid‐state structures of neutral 1a and cationic 4 are reported. Mononuclear 1a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 16.7763(2), b = 14.7892(2), c = 25.44130(10)Å, β = 106.1260(10), V = 6063.83(11)ų and Z = 4 with 8132 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0712), while 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the cell parameters a = 26.749(3), b = 7.1550(10), c = 26.077(3)Å, β = 113.503(2), V = 4576.8(10)ų and Z = 4 with 6209 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0481). The unit cell of 1a consists of two independent molecules. In both molecules the silver atom possesses a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere and a boat‐like conformation for the six‐membered AgPNCH₂C_2/phenyl cycles is found. In 4 , as typical for 1a , the silver atom possesses the coordination number 4. The two phen ligands are tilted by 40.63°. The OTf group is acting as non‐coordinating counter ion.

Metallkomplexe mit biologisch wichtigen Liganden. CLVII [1] Halbsandwich‐Komplexe mit Isocyanoacetylaminosäureestern und Isocyanoacetyldi‐ und tripeptidestern („Isocyano‐Peptide”︁)

Metal Complexes of Biologically Important Ligands, CLVII [1] Halfsandwich Complexes of Isocyanoacetylamino acid esters and of Isocyanoacetyldi‐ and tripeptide esters (?Isocyanopeptides”?) N‐Isocyanoacetyl‐amino acid esters CNCH₂C(O) NHCH(R)CO₂CH₃ (R = CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂, CH₂CH(CH₃)₂, CH₂C₆H₅) and N‐isocyanoacetyl‐di‐ and tripeptide esters CNCH₂C(O)NHCH(R¹)C(O)NHCH(R²)CO₂C₂H₅ and CNCH₂C(O)NHCH(R¹)C(O)NHCH (R²)C(O)NHCH(R³)CO₂CH₃ (R¹ = R² = R³ = CH₂C₆H₅, R² = H, CH₂C₆H₅) are available by condensation of potassium isocyanoacetate with amino acid esters or peptide esters. These isocyanides form with chloro‐bridged complexes [(arene)M(Cl)(μ‐Cl)]₂ (arene = Cp*, p‐cymene, M = Ir, Rh, Ru) in the presence of Ag[BF₄] or Ag[CF₃SO₃] the cationic halfsandwich complexes [(arene)M(isocyanide)₃]⁺X^?

Two tetranuclear zinc clusters, [Zn4(μ3‐OEt)2(μ2‐MalO)4Et2] and [Zn4(μ3‐GueO)2(μ2‐GueO)2(μ2‐MalO)2(MalO)2]·2C7H8, containing defective dicubane core geometries (MalOH is maltol and GueOH is guethol)

The zinc alkoxide molecules in di‐μ₃‐ethanolato‐diethyltetrakis(μ₂‐2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐3‐olato‐κ³O³,O⁴:O³)tetrazinc(II), [Zn₄(C₂H₅)₂(C₂H₅O)₂(C₆H₅O₃)₄], (I), and bis(μ₃‐2‐ethoxyphenolato‐κ⁴O¹,O²:O¹:O¹)bis(μ₂‐2‐ethoxyphenolato‐κ³O¹,O²:O¹)bis(μ₂‐2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐3‐olato‐κ³O³,O⁴:O³)bis(2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐3‐olato‐κ²O³,O⁴)tetrazinc(II) toluene disolvate, [Zn₄(C₆H₅O₃)₄(C₈H₉O₂)₄]·2C₇H₈, (II), lie on crystallographic centres of inversion. The asymmetric units of (I) and (II) contain half of the tetrameric unit and additionally one molecule of toluene for (II). The Zn^II atoms are four‐ and six‐coordinated in distorted tetrahedral and octahedral geometries for (I), and six‐coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment for (II). The Zn^II atoms in both compounds are arranged in a defect dicubane Zn₄O₆ core structure composed of two EtZnO₃ tetrahedra and ZnO₆ octahedra for (I), and of four ZnO₆ octahedra for (II), sharing common corners. The maltolate ligands exist mostly in a μ₂‐bridging mode, while the guetholate ligands prefer a higher coordination mode and act as μ₃‐ and μ₂‐bridges.     

(Carbonyl)Iron‐Selenolates: New Synthetic Methods and Reactions with Electrophiles. Crystal Structures of [(CO)6Fe2(μ‐SeR)2]; R = Me3SiCH2 and p‐O2NC6H4CH2, {(CO)6Fe2[μ‐η2‐Se,Se′‐o‐(SeCH2C6H4CH2Se)]}, and [(CO)6Fe2(μ‐SeFe(CO)2cp)2]

The reactions of Fe(CO)₅ or Fe₃(CO)₁₂ with NaBEt₃H or KB[CH(CH₃)C₂H₅]₃H, respectively and treatment of the resulting carbonylates M₂Fe(CO)₄, M = Na, K with elemental selenium in appropriate ratios lead to the formation of M₂[Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐Se)₂]. Subsequent reactions with organo halides or the complex fragment cpFe(CO)₂⁺, cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅ afforded the selenolato complexes [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐SeR)₂], R = CH₂SiMe₃ ( 1 ), CH₂Ph ( 2 ), p‐CH₂C₆H₄NO₂ ( 3 ), o‐CH₂C₆H₄CH₂ ( 4 ) and cpFe(CO)₂⁺ ( 5 ) in moderate to good yields. A similar reaction employing Ru₃(CO)₁₂, Se and p‐O₂NC₆H₄CH₂Br leads to the formation of the corresponding organic diselenide. The X‐ray structures of 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 were determined and revealed butterfly structures of the Fe₂Se₂ cores. The substituents in 1 , 3  and 5 adopt different conformations depending on their steric demand. In 4 , the conformation is fixed because of the chelate effect of the ligand. The Fe–Se bond lengths lie in the range 235 to 240 pm, with corresponding Fe–Fe bond lengths of 254 to 256 pm. The ⁷⁷Se NMR data of the new complexes are discussed and compared with the corresponding data of related complexes.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Nd(η6‐1, 3, 5‐C6H3Me3)‐(AlCl4)3](C6H6) and Structural Comparison of Ln(η6‐arene)‐(AlCl4)3

Reaction of Ndcl₃ with AlCl₃ and mesitylene in benzene gives complex [Nd(η⁶‐1, 3, 5‐C₆H₃Me₃)‐(AlCl₄)₃](C₆H₆) (1) which was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, MS and X‐ray diffractions. The X‐ray determination indicates that 1 has a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry and crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 0.9586(2), b = 1.1717(5), c = 2.8966(7) nm, β = 90.85 (2)°, V = 3.2529 (6) nm³,D_c= 1.573 g/cm³, Z = 4. A comparison of bond parameters for all the reported Ln (η⁶‐Ar) (AlCl₄)₃ complexes indicates that the bond distance of La? C is shortened with the increasing of methyl group on benzene and with the decreasing of radius of lanthanide ions.
