Reactions of Cu3(dppm)3(μ3-OH)(ClO4)2 (dppm = bis-(diphenylphosphino) methane) with Soft Heterocumulenes

The reaction of [Cu₃(dppm)₃(μ₃-OH)](ClO₄)₂ (1) with heterocumulenes (XCS; X = NPh, NMe and S) has been studied. The μ₃-OH ligand inserts into PhNCS and MeNCS only in the presence of methanol. Insertion products are formed in accord with earlier observations made with copper(I)-aryloxides. On heating, the insertion products convert to a S bridged cluster [Cu₄(dppm)₄(μ₄-S)](ClO₄)₂ (8), having a tetrameric core. However, in the reaction with CS₂, 1 is converted to 8 even at room temperature in the presence of methanol. On the other hand, the dimeric complex [Cu₂(dppm)₂(CH₃CN)₄](ClO₄)₂, reacts with CS₂ to give (diphenylphosphinomethyl)-diphenylphosphine sulfide, Ph₂P-CH₂-P(S)Ph₂ (dppmS), which forms the complex [Cu(dppmS)₂]ClO₄ (9). A single crystal X-ray crystallographic study of 9, the first copper(I) complex of dppmS has been taken up to confirm the mono-oxidation of the dppm ligand and the nuclearity of the complex. Reactions of complex 1 with heterocumulenes and with elemental sulfur, are compared.     

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.

In agreement with the 18VE rule, the triangular cluster contains single metal-metal bonds (Rh-Rh 2.864(1) ?), whereas they are absent in the binuclear complex (Rh ...Rh 3,216(1) ?).

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.

Abstract  

Thermolysis of cis-Fe(CO)₄(SiCl₃)₂ results in the formation of the novel compound Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₂-SiCl₂)₃, which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to elucidate possible reaction steps leading to the formation of Fe₂(CO)₆(SiCl₂)₃, including CO dissociation and chlorine abstraction by a SiCl₃ radical generated from homolytic Fe–Si bond cleavage involving a singlet–triplet intersystem crossing.

Two gold-ruthenium clusters derived from Ru3(μ-H)3(μ3-CBr)(CO)9

The reaction between AuMe(PPh₃) and Ru₃(μ-H)₃(μ₃-CBr)(CO)₉ (1) affords the novel heptanuclear cluster Au₄Ru₃(μ₃-CMe)(Br)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₃ (2), containing an Au/Ru₃/Au trigonal pyramidal cluster face-capped by two Au(PPh₃) groups and a CMe ligand, together with Au₂Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-CMe)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂ (3), formed by isolobal replacement of two of the three μ-H atoms in 1 by Au(PPh₃) groups. The latter co-crystallises with the analogous μ₃-CH complex, as also shown spectroscopically.     

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.     

Synthesis and molecular structures of the Co3(μ-OOCPh)4(μ,η2-OOCPh)2[OC(Ph)OHNEt3]2 and Co(Hdmpz)2(OOCPh)2 complexes (Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole)

The product of the thermal reaction between cobalt acetate hydrate and benzoic acid reacts with a triethylamine excess to form the trinuclear complex Co₃(μ-OOCPh)₄(μ,η²-OOCPh)₂[OC(Ph)OHNEt₃]₂, and its reaction with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole yields the mononuclear complex Co(Hdmpz)₂(OOCPh)₂. The compound structures are discussed on the basis of X-ray crystallographic data.

Treatment of [Sn(SPh)₄] with two equivalents of [Ag(PPh₃)₂NO₃] gave the neutral linear trinuclear complex [Sn(μ-SPh)₆(AgPPh₃)₂] (3) that is composed of a central distorted SnS₆ octahedron sharing two opposite planes with two slightly distorted AgS₃P tetrahedrons. Complexes 2 and 3 are air and optically stable. Their nonlinear optical absorption and refraction were investigated under the same conditions. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of complex 2 were determined to be α ₂ = 3.11 × 10⁻¹¹ m/W and n ₂ = 4.15 × 10⁻¹² esu, respectively. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of complex 3 were determined to be α ₂ = 8.36 × 10⁻¹¹ m/W and n ₂ = 1.47 × 10⁻¹¹ esu, respectively.

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and thermal decomposition of two peroxovanadium complexes with coordinated ammonia molecules: [{VO(O2)2(NH3)}2{μ-Cu(NH3)4}] and [Zn(NH3)4][VO(O2)2(NH3)]2

The compounds [{VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)}₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}] (1) and [Zn(NH₃)₄][VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]₂ (2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The single crystal X-ray study revealed that the structure of 1 consists of trinuclear complex molecules [(NH₃)OV(O₂)₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}(O₂)₂VO(NH₃)] with a rare heterobimetalic peroxo bridge: copper(II)–peroxo ligand–vanadium(V). The structure of 2 is composed of tetraamminezinc(II) cations and ammineoxodiperoxovanadate(V) anions. In course of thermal decomposition of 1 performed up to 620 °C, the following intermediate products: [Cu(NH₃)₂(VO₃)₂], and subsequently a mixture of V₂O₅ with monoclinic β-Cu₂V₂O₇, were gradually formed. The final product of decomposition is Cu(VO₃)₂. The thermal decomposition of 2 is a two-step process. In the first stage, [Zn(NH₃)₃(VO₃)₂] as supposed intermediate was formed, which transformed at higher temperatures by release of ammonia molecules to the monoclinic modification of Zn(VO₃)₂.

Single crystals of Cs₄[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂] · 4H₂O (I) and (NH₄)₄[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂] · 6H₂O (II) have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals of both compounds are orthorhombic with the space group Pbam, Z = 2, and unit cell parameters a = 12.0177(3) ?, b = 18.6182(5) ?, c = 6.7573(10) ?, R = 0.0376 (I); a = 11.6539(9) ?, b = 18.3791(13) ?, c = 6.7216(5) ?, R = 0.0179 (II). The main structural units of crystals I and II are [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂]⁴⁻ chains belonging to the crystal-chemical group A₂K⁰²B₂²M₂¹ (A = UO₂²⁺, K⁰² = C₂O₄²⁻, B² = SO₄²⁻, M¹ = NCS⁻) of the uranyl complexes. The uranium-containing chains are joined into a three-dimensional framework due to a system of electrostatic interactions with the cesium or ammonium ions in the structure of I. In the structure of II, this framework is additionally stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving the outer-sphere water molecules and ammonium ions. Original Russian Text ? I.V. Medrish, A.V.

混合价双核锰[Mn2(cyclen)2(μ-O)2](ClO4)3·4H2O的晶体结构和表征

The mixed-valence manganese(Ⅲ/Ⅳ) complex [Mn2(cyclen)2(μ-O)2](ClO4)3-4H2O (1) (cyclen=1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan) with chemical formula C16H48Cl3Mn2N8O18 has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectra. The results showed that the manganese(Ⅲ/Ⅳ) ions were six-coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from cyclen and two oxygen atoms from the oxygen bridge, forming a distorted octahedron geometry. There were two very strong peaks in the range of 400-700 nm in electronic spectrum, which was similar to Mn catalase and Mn ribonucleotide reductase extracted from organisms.Electrochemical study indicated that the complex underwent a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction and oxidation at E1/2=0.827 V in acetonitrile.
