Synthesis,structure characterization and thermal properties of [Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(OOCCH2Bu)9(μ2-OH)3]2

Oxo/hydoxo zirconium(IV) complex of the general formula [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ has been isolated, when Zr(OⁱPr)₄ reacted with a 2-fold excess of 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at 103 and 153 K, showed that the studied compound crystallizes in hexagonal system (P6₃/m (no. 176)). Structure consists of dimers composed of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉] sub-units, linked by six μ₂-OH bridges. Infrared spectroscopic studies proved the presence of hydroxo groups in the structure of studied clusters and formation of different types of oxo/hydroxo bridges. The application of variable temperature infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the structure of this complex undergoes the phase transitions at 143–183 and 203–293 K. Comparison of spectral and crystallographic data suggests that these phase transitions might be related to changes in the strength of Zr–O bonds of μ₂-OH bridges linking complex sub-units, and change in symmetry of the crystal lattice (from hexagonal to trigonal). Analysis of thermogravimetric data showed that decomposition of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ proceeds with complete conversion to ZrO₂ (monoclinic form) between 603 and 803 K.

The title compound was synthesized by reaction of Cu(ClO₄)₂， picolinic acid and carbamide in C₂H₅OH/CH₃CN solution， and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system， space group Pbca with a=14.0481(8)， b=9.0130(5)， c=18.626(1)?， V=2358.3(2)?³， Z=4， D_x=1.771g·cm^-3， μ=1.235mm^-1 and F(000)=1276. The final R factor is 0.0440 for 1434 observed reflections. The X-ray analysis revealed that the copper(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by two picolinic ligands in the equatorial plane， while the two oxygen atoms of perchlorate occupy the axial positions of octahedron with lengthened Cu-O distances， resulting in a 4+2 elongated octahedral environment. In the compound， there also exist two protonated carbamide cations for charge balance. CCDC： 195354.

Spanning [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] metalloligands with 1,4-dimercurated durene

Reaction of the metalloligand [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] with 0.5 mol equivalents of durene-1,4-bis(mercuric acetate) [AcOHgC₆Me₄HgOAc] in methanol gives the polynuclear complex [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺, isolated as its and salts. Positive-ion ESI mass spectra indicate that [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺ undergoes fragmentation by successive loss of PPh₃ ligands, while the ESI mass spectrum of the salt showed additional ions [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄(HgC₆Me₄HgPh)]⁺ and [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]⁺ as a result of phenyl transfer from to Hg. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination on [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)](BPh₄)₂ shows that the cation crystallises on a centre of symmetry, with structural features that are comparable to those of the previously characterised complex [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]BPh₄.

Crystal structure of a tetrahedral cluster complex [Zn2(NH3)6(μ-OH)][Zn(NH3)4]0.5[Re4Te4(CN)12]·5H2O

A cluster complex of the composition [Zn₂(NH₃)₆(μ-OH)][Zn(NH₃)₄]_0.5[Re₄Te₄(CN)₁₂]·5H₂O is obtained by the interaction of an aqueous solution of K₄[Re₄Te₄(CN)₁₂]·5H₂O with an aqueous ammonia solution of ZnCl₂.

Diverse coordination of two ligands in ferromagnetic [Cu(μ-HCO2)2(3-pyOH)]n and [Cu2(μ-HCO2)2(μ-3-pyOH)2(3-pyOH)2(HCO2)2]n

Two novel polynuclear complexes with methanoate anions and 3-hydroxypyridine ligands [Cu(μ-HCO₂)₂(3-pyOH)]_n (1) and [Cu₂(μ-HCO₂)₂(μ-3-pyOH)₂(3-pyOH)₂(HCO₂)₂]_n (2), respectively, were synthesized and characterized. The central copper atom in 1 is surrounded by four methanoates and a 3-pyOH molecule, forming a square-pyramidal CuO₃NO chromophore. All the methanoates are bidentate and serve as bridges between the adjacent copper ions via syn-anti and anti–anti coordination. The basal square coordination axes are formed by O(syn), N(3-pyOH) (1.974(2), 2.016(2) Å) and O(anti), O(anti) (1.945(2), 1.960(2) Å), while the third O(anti) (2.247(2) Å) is on the top of the pyramid. A ferromagnetic transition with an exchange constant 2J/k_B = 9.2 cm⁻¹ is found for 1 below 20 K. This interaction probably takes place through two syn-anti methanoates extended in a chain through the 2D structure. On the other hand, two monoatomic Cu–O–Cu intra-dinuclear asymmetric (1.986(2), 2.415(2) Å) bridges of two methanoates in [Cu₂(HCO₂)₄(3-pyOH)₄] (2) are present. An elongated distorted octahedral coordination sphere around each copper(II) atom is completed by an additional monodentate terminal methanoate (1.975(2) Å), two N-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.005(2), 2.002(2) Å) and the third weakly O-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.732(2) Å). Although a shorter Cu?Cu distance is noticed in 2 than in 1 (4.690(1) Å 1, 3.442(1) Å 2), much weaker ferromagnetism is found in 2.     

Stepwise addition of CuBr at [(dtc)2Mo2(S)2(μ-S)2] (dtc=diethyldithiocarbamate): syntheses and crystal structures of two Mo/Cu/S clusters [(dtc)2Mo2(μ3-S)(μ-S)3(CuBr)] and [(dtc)2Mo2(μ3-S)4(CuBr)2]

Reactions of [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] with one or two equivalents of CuBr in CH₂Cl₂ afforded two new heterobimetallic sulfide clusters, [(dtc)₂Mo₂(μ₃-S)(μ-S)₃(CuBr)] (1) and [(dtc)₂Mo₂(μ₃-S)₄(CuBr)₂] (2). Both compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis and X-ray analysis. Compound 1 contains a butterfly-shaped Mo₂S₄Cu core in which one CuBr unit is coordinated by one bridging S and two terminal S atoms of the [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] moiety. In the structure of 2, one [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] moiety and two CuBr units are held together by six Cu-μ₃-S bonds, forming a cubane-like Mo₂S₄Cu₂ core.     

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.

[Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4) was also obtained by substitution of two acetonitrile ligands in the activated cluster 1 by 4-pyS, at room temperature in dichloromethane. Compounds 2-5 were characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structures of 4 and 5 in the solid state were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
