Synthesis and structures of the η5-C5H5Cl(CO)2W-η1,η5-(PPh2)C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3 and MeSi[C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)2PPh3]3 complexes

The metallation of the η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex with BuⁿLi (THF, ?78 °C) followed by the treatment of the lithium derivative with Ph₂PCl afforded the η⁵-Ph₂PC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex. The reaction of the latter with η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₃WCl in the presence of Me₃NO produced the trinuclear complex η⁵-C₅H₅Cl(CO)₂W-η¹,η⁵-(Ph₂P)C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃. The structure of the latter complex was established by IR, UV, and 1H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The reaction of MeSiCl₃ with three equivalents of LiC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃ gave the hexanuclear complex MeSi[C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃]₃.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of Guanidinium Pentamolybdobis (n-amylphosphonate)(CN3H6)4[(n-C5H11P)2Mo5O21]

The crystal structure of guanidinlum pentamolybdobis(n-ainylphcsphonate), which contains the longest carbon chain hitherto known, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It belongs to monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, 0=18.857(2), b=12.170(1), c=18. 294(2) A .β=102.73 (2), V=4095. 2A3.u= 140. 34 cm-1. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer with MoKa radiation. The positions of all molybdenum and phosphorus atoms were determined by the direct method. The other non-hydrogen atoms were revealed by difference Fourier synthesis. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedure to a final R value of 0. 068. The structure of the anion is similar to [(CH2P)2Mo5O21]4-, [(NH3C2H4P)2Mo6O21]2-, [(n-C3H7As)2Mo5O21]--, and [(C3H5As)2Mo6O21]4-. It consists of a ring of five distorted MoO, octahedra joined by edge-sharing, except for one pair which is joined by corner- sharing. The size of the Mo6O16 ring is close to those of [(CH3P)2Mo5O21]4- a     

The Synthesis of the Arene Clusters Ru6C(CO)14(η6-Arene) (Arene = C6H5CHMe2, C6H5C4H9, C6H5C3H7, and C6H5C3H5)

On reaction with Ru₃(CO)₁₂, isopropenylbenzene and 4-phenyl-l-butene undergo hydrogenation, to yield the clusters, Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅CHMe₂) 1 and Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅C₄H₉) 2, respectively. With allylbenzene, both hydrogenation and isomerization occurs affording Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅C₃H₇) 3 and Ru₆C(CO)14(⁶-C₆H₅C₃H₅) 4. The structures of 1 and 2 have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. One of the Ru–Ru bond lengths in 2 is unusually long and extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations have been used in an attempt to rationalize this feature.     

Crystal structure of CsLnFe(CN)6·5H2O (Ln=Ce,Pr, Nd), CsCeFe(CN)6·4H2O,and TlTmRu(CN)6·3H2O

We have investigated the crystal structures of CsLnFe(CN)₆·nH₂O (Ln=lanthanide, n=4,5), as well as TlTmRu(CN)₆·3H₂O. These phases can be thought of as derivatives of LnFe(CN)₆·4H₂O, where, simultaneously, an alkali ion (or Tl⁺) is introduced while the valence of Fe is reduced from Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. A new arrangement of the structural units is observed in the CsLnFe(CN)₆·5H₂O, where the coordination of the Ln-ion is changed to a bisdisphenoid. The resulting LnN₅O₃ units alternate with Fe(CN)₆ units to form an overall rocksalt-type ralted lattice that accommodates the alkali ions in interstitial sites. Due to the arrangement of the water molecules, a layer structure results.     

Structure and bonding analysis of dimethylgallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium, and osmium [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2M(GaMe2)] and [(η5-C5H5)(Me3P)2M(GaMe2)

Density functional theory calculations have been performed for the dimethylgallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium, and osmium [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(L)(2)M(GaMe(2)] (M = Fe, Ru, Os; L = CO, PMe(3)) at the DFT/BP86/TZ2P/ZORA level of theory. The calculated geometry of the iron complex [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(CO)(2)Fe(GaMe(2))] is in excellent agreement with structurally characterized complex [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(CO)(2)Fe(Ga(t)Bu(2))]. The Pauling bond order of the optimized structures shows that the M-Ga bonds in these complexes are nearly M-Ga single bond. Upon going from M = Fe to M = Os, the calculated M-Ga bond distance increases, while on substitution of the CO ligand by PMe(3), the calculated M-Ga bond distances decrease. The π-bonding component of the total orbital contribution is significantly smaller than that of σ-bonding. Thus, in these complexes the GaX(2) ligand behaves predominantly as a σ-donor. The contributions of the electrostatic interaction terms ΔE(elstat) are significantly smaller in all gallyl complexes than the covalent bonding ΔE(orb) term. The absolute values of the ΔE(Pauli), ΔE(int), and ΔE(elstat) contributions to the M-Ga bonds increases in both sets of complexes via the order Fe < Ru < Os. The Ga-C(CO) and Ga-P bond distances are smaller than the sum of van der Waal radii and, thus, suggest the presence of weak intermolecular Ga-C(CO) and Ga-P interactions.     

Base Stabilized σ-Borane Complex of Group 5 Metals: Synthesis and Structure of [(η5-C5Me5)Ta(H3BNC5H4) (C5H4NS)(η2-S2)]

Azametallacyclopropane-containing base stabilized borane complexes of group 5 transition metals have been synthesized and their structural aspects have been described. Treatment of Cp* based Ta and Nb chlorides, Cp*TaCl₄ and Cp*NbCl₄ with [LiBH₄ ⋅ THF] followed by addition of ligands, such as 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, MBT, (C₇H₅NS₂) and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole, MBO (C₇H₅NSO) led to the formation of complexes [Cp*M-[BHS(CH₂ENC₆H₄)(C₇H₄NSE)] ( 1 : M=Ta, E=S; 2 ; M=Nb, E=S; 3 : M=Ta, E=O; 4 ; M=Nb, E=O, Cp*=pentamethyl-η⁵-cyclopentadienyl). By means of UV-vis absorption spectra, the electronic properties of these complexes associated with central metal atoms and heteroatoms (S or O) have been evaluated. In contrast, treatment of Cp*TaCl₄ with 2-mercaptopyridine, MP, (C₅H₅NS) under the same reaction conditions yielded the agostic σ-borane Ta complex, [Cp*Ta(H₃BNC₅H₄) (C5H₄NS)(η²-S₂)], 5 . Unlike 1 – 4 , where the metals interact with boron through bridging sulphur, 5 shows a notable σ-B−H bond interaction with Ta. All spectroscopic data of 1 – 5 along with the X-ray diffraction studies suggest complexes 2 , 4 , and 5 are base (amine) stabilized borane species. Computational studies based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) also supported this conclusion.

The uranium-containing structural units of complexes I and II are [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃]^2? chains and [UO₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂] ₂ ^4? dimers, which belong to the AK _0.5 ⁰² T¹¹ and AT¹¹B⁰¹ crystallochemical groups (A = UO ₂ ²⁺ , K⁰² and T¹¹ = C₂O ₄ ^2? , T¹¹ and B⁰¹ = C₃H₂O ₄ ^2? ) of uranyl complexes.

The reaction of Cb*Co(CO)₂I (1) (Cb* is tetramethylcyclobutadiene) with sodium phenyltelluride afforded the mononuclesar complex Cb*Co(CO)₂TePh (2). The reaction of the latter with W(CO)₅(THF) produced the Cb*Co(CO)₂TePh[W(CO)₅] compound (4). The reaction of 1 with the Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂S complex gave the heterometallic cluster Cb*Co(μ₃-S)₂Cr₂Cp2 (μ-SCMe₃) (5). Complexes 2, 4, and 5 are diamagnetic. Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 2 contains the Co-Te bond (2.585(1) Å); complex 4, the Co-Te (2.558(8) Å) and W-Te (2.8467(6) Å) bonds. Complex 5 has the stable triangular sulfide-and tert-butylmercaptide-bridged core Cr₂Co (Cr-Cr and Cr-Co bond lengths are 2.626(2) and 2.673(2) Å, respectively) with Cp ligands at the chromium atoms and a Cb* ligand at the cobalt atom. Complex 5 was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The thermolysis of complex 4 was studied.     

Synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of K4[(UO2)2(C2O4)3(NCS)2] · 4H2O

Single crystals of K₄[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃(NCS)₂] · 4H₂O(I) have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic with the unit cell parameters a = 8.0226(7) Å, b = 14.9493(11) Å, c = 11.1670(9) Å, β = 98.299(3)°, space group P2₁/n, Z = 2, V = 1325.26(19) ų, R = 0.0186. The main structural units of the crystals of structure I are discrete binuclear groups [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃(NCS)₂]^4? belonging to the crystal-chemical group A₂K⁰²B ₂ ⁰¹ M ₂ ¹ (A =UO ₂ ²⁺ , K⁰² =C₂O ₄ ^2? , B⁰¹ =C₂O ₄ ^2? , M¹ = NCS^?) of the uranyl complexes. The uranium-containing complexes are linked into a three-dimensional framework through the potassium ions and a system of hydrogen bonds involving the outer-sphere water molecules.     

Probing the aromaticity of the [(H(t)Ac)3(μ2-H)6], [(H(t)Th)3(μ2-H)6],(+), and [(H(t)Pa)3(μ2-H)6] clusters

In this study we report about the aromaticity of the prototypical [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)], [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+), and [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] clusters via two magnetic criteria: nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) and the magnetically induced current density. All-electron density functional theory calculations were carried out using the two-component zeroth-order regular approach and the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian, including scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects. Four-component current density maps and the integration of induced ring-current susceptibilities clearly show that the clusters [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] and [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+) are non-aromatic whereas [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is anti-aromatic. However, for the thorium cluster we find a discrepancy between the current density plots and the classification through the NICS index. Our results also demonstrate the increasing influence of f orbitals, on bonding and magnetic properties, with increasing atomic number in these clusters. We think that the enhanced electron mobility in [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is due the significant 5f character of its valence shell. Also the participation of f orbitals in bonding is the reason why the protactinium cluster has the shortest bond lengths of the three clusters. This study provides another example showing that the magnetically induced current density approach can give more reliable results than the NICS index.

While the structure of I consist of FeO₄F₂ octahedra and HPO₄ terahedra linked to form one-dimensional structure, that of II consist of FeO₄(H₂O)₂, FeO₄(H₂O)F, FeO₄F₂ and PO₄ units connected to give rise to a three-dimensional structure. The structure of I resembles the naturally occurring mineral tancoite while II resembles the iron phosphate, ULM-12, [C₆N₂H₁₄][Fe₄(PO₄)₂F₂(H₂O)₃]. Magnetic susceptibility studies indicate anti-ferromagnetic behavior in both the compounds with T_N=200 and 175 K for I and II, respectively.

Qualitative single crystals of ??-complexes Cu(H⁺L)(ClO₄)]ClO₄ · H₂O (I), Cu(H⁺L)(BF₄)]BF₄ · H₂O (II), and [Cu(H⁺L)(H₂O)]SiF₆ · H₂O (III) are synthesized from solutions of 3-(diallylamino)propanenitrile (L) in propanol, ethanol, and methanol-water acidified with the corresponding acid to pH 3.5?C5 and from the copper(II) salts (Cu(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O, Cu(BF₄)₂ · 6H₂O, and CuSiF₆ · 4H₂O) using the alternating-current electrochemical method on copper wire electrodes. The crystal structures of the complexes are determined. All compounds crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system: complexes I and II are isostructural, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4. For compound III, space group P2₁/c, Z = 8. Unit cell parameters: for I a =7.8153(3), b = 16.7824(7), c = 12.4426(5) ?, ?? = 93.410(2)°, V = 1629.1(1) ?³; for II, a = 7.6755(4), b = 16.7119(7), c = 12.3784(6) ?, ?? = 94.354(2)°, V = 1583.2(1); and for III a = 9.826(2), b = 24.009(3), c = 12.061(2) ?, ?? = 91.820(6)°, V = 2843.9(7) ?³. The trigonal pyramidal coordination of the copper atom in complexes I-III is formed by two C=C bonds of the allyl groups of H⁺L, the nitrile N atom of the adjacent cation of the ligand, and the O or F atom of the ClO ₄ ^? or BF ₄ ^? anions. In structure III, the apical position of the pyramid is occupied by the O atom of the water molecule, since the SiF ₆ ^2? anion is considerably remote from the copper(I) atom. However, this anion is bound to the organic cation by hydrogen bonds F??H (2.05?C2.51 ?).     

Complexation of N-Allyl Derivatives of Morpholinium with Copper(I) Halides: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [C4H8ON(C3H5)2]+[Cu4Cl5]–, [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr2]–, and [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr1.41Cl0.59]–

In the structure of I π-complex, the centrosymmetric Cu₈Cl₁₀ fragments are associated into layers perpendicular to the b axis. The N,N"-diallylmorpholinium cation functions as a bridge, which coordinates two copper atom of the adjacent inorganic fragments by both allyl groups. The trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(I) atom, as well as the distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere of Cu(2), involves three chlorine atoms and the C=C bond, whereas the planar trigonal surrounding of the Cu(3) atom and trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(4) atom involve only chlorine atoms. In the isostructural II and III σ-complexes, the edge-shared CuX₄ tetrahedra form the infinite copper-halide chains running along the a axis. The inorganic fragments and organic N-allylmorpholinium cations are united into the three-dimensional crystal structures by N–H···X and C–H···X (X = Cl, Br) hydrogen bonds.

κ-(BETS)₈(Cu₂Cl₆)(CuCl₄) (1), θ-(BETS)₂(CuCl₂) (2), (BETS)₂(CuCl₄) (3) (BETS = bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene) have been prepared by diffusion-electrocrystallisation of BETS and (AsPh₄)₂(Cu₂Cl₆) solutions in chlorobenzene–ethanol. 2 has also been obtained by simple diffusion of BETS and (AsPh₄)₂(Cu₂Cl₆) solutions. 1 and 2 exhibit metal-like behaviour, down to 40 K for 1 and 4 K for 2. 3 behaves as an insulator. The crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3 are determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structures of 1 (at 140 and 25 K) and 2 are characterised by a strong disorder of their respective anions. The crystal structure of 3 shows an unusual packing of the BETS molecules, consisting of slipped stacked (BETS)₂ dimers, leading to insulating properties. Based on the structures of 1 (at 140 and 25 K), 2 and 3, molecular and band structure calculations are carried out for the interpretation of the physical behaviours of these phases.

The uranium-containing groups are linked into a three-dimensional framework due to electrostatic interaction with the ammonium cations and through a system of hydrogen bonds involving atoms of the water molecules, oxalate and acetate ions, and ammonium and uranyl cations.     

Cupro(I)-π-complexes with 1-allyloxybenzotriazole: Synthesis and crystal structure of CuBF4 · 2C6H4N3(OC3H5) · H2O and CuCF3COO · C6H4N3(OC3H5)

The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) Å, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ų, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P $ P\bar 1 The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) ?, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ?³, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P , a = 8.8625(7), b = 9.0647(4), c = 9.1650(5) ?, α = 68.37(2)°, β = 85.31(3)°, γ = 69.86(2)°, V = 646(4) ?³, Z = 2, R = 0.1354, 2669 reflections. In compound I, the tetrahedrally distorted trigonal pyramidal environment of the copper atom comprises two nitrogen atoms of two organic molecules (L), the C=C bond of another L molecule, and the O atom of the water molecule. Due to the bridging function of L molecule, infinite chains [Cu · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O] _n are formed in the structure along the y axis. The chains are, in turn, assembled into layers through strong O-H…F hydrogen bonds involving both hydrogen atoms of the water molecule and fluorine atoms of the BF₄⁻ anion. In compound II, two bridging oxygen atoms of two trifluoroacetate anions and two copper atoms form a centrosymmetric dimer. The nitrogen atom of the benzotriazole ring of one molecule L and the C=C double bond of the allyl group of the other molecule L complete the distorted coordination tetrahedron of the metal atom. Owing to the bridging function of the L molecule, the [CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅)]₂ dimers are connected to form infinite double chains associated in a three-dimensional framework by only weak interactions. The replacement of the covalently bonded trifluoroacetate anion by an outer-sphere tetrafluoroborate ion opens up the possibility for metal atom binding to three L molecules simultaneously.
