The reaction of Ph₂P(S)N(SiMe₃)₂ with potassium tert-butoxide in a 1:1 molar ratio produces K[Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃], which was converted to the AsPh₄⁺ salt by metathesis with [AsPh₄]Cl. The X-ray crystal structure of [AsPh₄][Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃] · 0.5 THF consists of noninteracting AsPh₄⁺ and Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃^? ions with d(P? S) = 1.980(4) Å and d(P? N) = 1.555(8) Å. The PNSi bite angle in the anion is 136.3(5)°. Electrophilic attack by Ph₂P(S)Cl occurs at the sulfur atom of Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₃^?. The oxidation of the anion with iodine produces a disulfide which regenerates K[Ph₂P(S)NSiMe₂] upon treatment with potassium tert-butoxide.

In the IR and Raman spectra ν_CN(S), ν_CS(N) and δ_NCS are found at higher wave numbers than ν_CN(N), ν_CS(S) and δ_SCN. According to spin orbit coupling and to lowered symmetry (D_4h, C_4v) the splitted intraconfigurational transitions are observed at 10 K as weak bands in the regions 600, 1000, 2000 nm. The O? O transitions are calculated from vibrational fine structure and in some cases are confirmed by electronic Raman bands with the same frequencies. The energy niveaus deduced with ζ(Os^IV) = 3200 cm^?1 and the calculated Racah parameters B are in good agreement with the barycenters of the observed multiplets for D_4h and C_4v symmetry.

The technetium atom is distorted octahedrally coordinated with the chloro ligands meridionally cis with respect to the nitrido nitrogen. The Tc? N(1) bond length is 1.669(4) Å, and the Tc? N(3) bond (2.371(4) Å) is significantly lengthened due to the structural trans labilizing influence of the “N^3?” ligand.     

Neue Halogenochalkogen(IV)‐Säuren: [H3O(Benzo‐18‐Krone‐6)]2[Te2Br10] und [H5O2(Dibenzo‐24‐Krone‐8)]2[Te2Br10]

Novel Halogenochalcogeno(IV) Acids: [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] Systematic studies on halogenochalcogeno(IV) acids containing tellurium and bromine led to the new crystalline phases [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 1 ) and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 2 ).

Due to the stronger trans influence of the carbonyl group the bond lengths in the Cl? Os? CO axis Os? Cl = 2.449(2), 2.430(2) Å are langer as compared with the octahedron basis Os? Cl = 2.340-2.370 Å. The water of crystallization is coordinated to potassium (K? OH₂ = 2.625-2.815 Å). Using the molecular parameters the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(CO) = 15.30, f_d(OsC) = 3.88, f_d(OsCl) = 1.81, f_d(OsCl) = 1.36, f_d(OH) = 7.65, 7.82, 7.79 mdyn/Å. The strengthening of the Os?

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Adducts [DB-18C6] · CH₃CN · CH₃CSOH and [DC-18C6](CH₃CSOH)₂ as well as of the Salt-like Compounds [Cs(B-15C5)₂]CH₃CSS and [Cs(DB-18C6)]₂S₅(DMF)₂¹) The reaction products of crown ethers, cesium, and sulfur in aprotic solvents like acetonitrile and dimethylformamide strongly depend on the reaction conditions. Using CH₃CN as a solvent, sometimes neutral host-guest adducts crystallize only, e.g., [dibenzo-18C6] · CH₃CN · CH₃CSOH (monoclinic, S. G. P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 9.73(1) Å, b = 22.03(1) Å, c = 11.86(1) Å, β = 91.8(1)°) or [dicyclohexyl-18C6](CH₃CSOH)₂ (monoclinic, S. G. P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 7.75(1) Å, b = 10.32(1) Å, c = 17.73(1) Å, β = 95.7(1)°). The monothioacetic acid, CH₃CSOH, must be regarded as the first product of the hydrolysis of CH₃CN. Furthermore, another product of this kind of hydrolysis, CH₃CSSH, is obtained too. Therefore, we also obtain the salt-like compound [Cs(benzo-15C5)₂]CH₃CSS (monoclinic, S. G.

Two new transition metal(II) complexes [M(hdpa)₂(N(CN)₂)₂] (M = Mn ( 1 ), Co ( 2 ); hdpa = 2, 2'‐dipyridylamine) have been prepared and characterized structurally and magnetically. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c. 1 and 2 are isotypic with the unit cell parameters a = 8.634(9), b = 13.541(14), c = 21.99(2) Å, β = 94.806(18)°, and V = 2562(5) ų for 1 , a = 8.617(3) Å, b = 13.629(5)Å, c = 21.598(8)Å, β = 94.593(6)°, and V = 2528.4(15)ų for 2 , and Z = 4 for both. According to X‐ray crystallographic studies, each metal(II) ion was six‐coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from two bidentate hdpa ligand and two nitrogen atoms from two N(CN)^— anions to form slightly distorted octahedrons. Adjacent complex molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds or π···π interactions to form three‐dimensional network. The IR and UV spectroscopy were measured and the magnetic behaviors were investigated.     

Rhenium(V) Complexes of N,N′-Ethylenebis(2-mercaptopropanamide). Synthesis,Characterization, and X-ray Crystal Structures

The preparation of benzoyl-protectcd N,N′-ethylenebis(2-mercaptopropanamide) (H₄emp) and its ligand-exchange reaction with ReO₂(en)₂Cl are described. Three diastereomers, [syn-ReO(meso-emp)]; [anti-ReO(meso-emp)]-, and a pair of cnantiomers, [ReO(rac-emp)]-, were formed due to syn and anti orientation of the two methyl groups of the ligand relative to the ReO core. The diastereomers were separated by reverse phase C₁₈ semipreparative HPLC and isolated as salts of [Ph₄As][ReO-(emp)]. The structures of [Ph₄ As][ReO(meso-emp)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray analyses. [Ph₄As][syn-ReO(mesocmp)]H₂O crystallizes in triclinic space group Pl with a = 10.326(3) Å, b = 13.672(4) A, c = 14.023(5) Å, α = 61.20(2)°, β =74.74(3)°, γ= 75.68(2)° V = 1656.6(8) ų, Z = 2, Dc = 1.676 gmL^?1, F(000) = 824 and R = 0.0329 for 5877 unique reflections. For (he complex [Ph₄As][anti-ReO(meso-emp)], the crystal data are: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 9.128(2) Å, b = 24.284(7) Å, c = 14.112(4) Å, β = 93.41(2)° V = 3122.5(15) À³, Z = 4, Dc = 1.740 gmL^?1, F(000) = 1608 and R = 0.0361 for 5487 unique reflections. In both structures the rhenium atom is penta-coordinated and in an approximately square pyramidal environment.     

Syntheses,characterization and anti‐microbial activities of palladium(II) and palladium(IV) complexes of 3,10‐C‐meso‐Me8[14]diene (L1) and its reduced isomeric anes (LA,LB and LC). Crystal and molecular structure of [PdL1][Pd(SCN)4]

The reactions of 3,10‐C‐meso‐3,5,7,7,10,12,14,14‐octamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecadiene, L¹, and two isomers (L_B and L_C, differing in the orientation of methyl groups on the chiral carbon atoms) of its reduced form with PdCl₂ and K₂[Pd(SCN)₄], produce square‐planar tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyano‐palladium(II) complexes of general formulae [PdL′][PdCl₄] and [PdL′][Pd(SCN)₄] (L′ = L¹, L_B and L_C), respectively. By contrast, the third ane isomer, L_A, upon reaction with the same reagents, PdCl₂ and K₂[Pd(SCN)₄], formed octahedral tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyanato‐palladium(IV) complexes [PdL_ACl₂]Cl₂ and [PdL_A(SCN)₂](SCN)₂, respectively. The [PdL′][PdCl₄] and [PdL_ACl₂]Cl₂ complexes undergo substitution reactions with KSCN to form square‐planar and octahedral tetrathiocyanato complexes [PdL′][Pd(SCN)₄] and [PdL_A(SCN)₂](SCN)₂, respectively. All complexes have been characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, conductometric and magnetochemical data. The anti‐fungal and anti‐bacterial activities of these complexes have been studied against some phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. The crystal structure of [PdL¹][Pd(SCN)₄] has been confirmed by X‐ray crystallography and shows with square‐planar PdN₄ and PdS₄ geometries [monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 17.884(3) Å, b = 14.734(2) Å, c = 11.4313(18) Å, β = 104.054(5)° ].

Kristallstruktur von Tetraphenylphosphonium-Monothiocyanatohydro-closo-Decaborat, [P(C6H5)4]2[2-(SCN)B10H9] · CH3CN

Crystal Structure of Tetraphenylphosphonium Monothiocyanatohydro-closo-Decaborate, [P(C₆H₅)₄]₂[2-(SCN)B₁₀H₉] · CH₃CN The X-ray structure determination of [P(C₆H₅)₄]₂[2-(SCN)B₁₀H₉] · CH₃CN (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.6040(10), b = 13.8880(9), c = 33.888(3) Å, β = 94.095(8)°, Z = 4) reveals the S coordination of the SCN substituent with a B?

31P-NMR and X-Ray Studies of the Complexes [HgX2 (1)]. (1=2, 11-bis (diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo [c]phenanthrene,X=Cl,I)

The ³¹P{¹H}-NMR characteristics of the complexes [HgX₂( 1 )] and [HgX₂-(PPh₂Bz)₂] (X = NO₃, Cl, Br, I, SCN, CN) and the solid state structures of the complexes [HgCl₂( 1 )] and [HgI₂( 1 )] ( 1 = 2,11-bis (diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo-[c]phenanthrene) have been determined. The ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg, ³¹P) values increase in the order CN < I < SCN < Br < Cl < NO₃. The two molecular structures show a distorted tetrahedral geometry about mercury. Pertinent bond lengths and bond angles from the X-ray analysis are as follows: Hg? P = 2.485(7) Å and 2.509 (8) Å, Hg? Cl = 2.525 (8) Å and 2.505 (10) Å, P? Hg? P = 125.6(3)°, Cl? Hg? Cl = 97.0(3)° for [HgCl₂( 1 )] and Hg? P = 2.491 (10) Å and 2.500(11) Å, Hg? I = 2.858(5) Å and 2.832(3) Å, P? Hg? P = 146.0(4)°, I? Hg? I = 116.9(1)° for [HgI₂( 1 )]. The equation, derived previously, relating ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg, ³¹P) and the angles P? Hg? P and X? Hg? X is shown to be valid for 1 .
