Synthese,Struktur und Eigenschaften der Komplexe [(H2O)Cl4Os≡N‐IrCl(C5Me5)(AsPh3)], [(Ph3Sb)Cl4Os≡N‐IrCl(C5Me5)(SbPh3)], [(Ph3Sb)2Cl3Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] und [{(Me2PhP)2(CO)Cl2Re≡N}2ReNCl2(PMe2Ph)]

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of the Complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] and [{(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] The dinuclear complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)]·H₂O ( 1 ·H₂O), [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)] ( 2 ), and [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] ( 3 ) result from the reaction of the nitrido complexes [(Ph₃As)₂OsNCl₃] and [(Ph₃Sb)₂OsNCl₃] with the iridium compounds [IrCl₂(C₅Me₅)]₂ and [IrCl(COD)]₂ in dichloromethane. 1 crystallizes as 1 ·H₂O in form of green platelets in the monoclinic space group Cm and a = 1105.53(6); b = 1486.76(9); c = 2024.88(10) pm, β = 97.191(4)°, Z = 4. The formation of 1 in air involves a ligand exchange, and the coordination of a water molecule in trans position to the Os‐N triple bond. The resulting complex fragments [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)] are connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir. The nitrido bridge is characterised by an Os‐N‐Ir bond angle of 173.7(7)°, and distances Os‐N = 168(1) pm and Ir‐N = 191(1) pm. 2 crystallizes in clumped together brown platelets with the space group and a = 1023.3(3), b = 1476.2(3), c = 1872.5(6) pm, α = 74.60(2), β = 73.84(2), γ = 76.19(2)°, Z = 2. In 2 the asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir joins the two complex fragments [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], which are formed by a ligand exchange reaction. 3 forms dark green crystals with the triclinic space group and a = 1079.4(1), b = 1172.3(1), c = 1696.7(2) pm, α = 101.192(9),β = 92.70(1), γ = 92.61(1)°, Z = 2. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Os≡N‐Ir = 175.3(7)°) are Os‐N = 171(1) pm and Ir‐N = 183(1) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [Mo(CO)₃(NCMe)₃] unexpectedly affords the trinuclear complex [{(Me₂PhP)₂(OC)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] ( 4 ) as the main product. It forms triclinic brown crystals with the composition 4 ·2THF and the space group (a = 1382.70(7), b = 1498.58(7), c = 1760.4(1) pm, α = 99.780(7), β = 99.920(7), γ = 114.064(6)°, Z = 2). In the trinuclear complex, the central fragment, [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] is joined in trans position to two nitrido complexes [(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N], giving an almost linear Re≡N‐Re‐N≡Re arrangement. The bond angles and distances in the nitrido bridges are Re‐N‐Re = 167.8(3)°, Re‐N = 171.1(8) pm and 204.2(8) pm; and Re‐N‐Re = 168.1(4)°, Re‐N = 170.9(9) and 203.5(9) pm respectively. As expected, the Re‐N bond length to the terminal nitrido ligand on the central Re atom is much shorter at 161.2(9) pm than the triple bonds of the asymmetric bridges.

Synthesis of a Titana-Oxacyclohexane Ring by Controlled Ring Opening of Tetrahydrofurane. Crystal Structures of [Ti(CH₂)₄O{Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}]₂, [TiCl{Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}]₃(μ₃-O)(μ₃-Cl), and [Li₂(THF)₃{Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}] [TiCl₃(THF)₃] reacts with [(Bu^tNLi)₂SiMe₂]₂ in diethyl ether at –35 °C under redox disproportionation and formation of the yellow titana(IV)-oxacyclohexane complex [Ti(CH₂)₄O{Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}]₂. According to the crystal structure analysis the titanium atoms are linked to form centrosymmetric dimers via the oxygen atoms of the Ti(CH₂)₄O six-membered rings, which are in chair conformation. Along with the nitrogen atoms of the chelating [Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂]^2– ligands the titanium atoms obtain a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal surrounding. While [TiCl{Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}]₃(μ₃-O)(μ₃-Cl) with a cluster-like structure is obtained as a by-product. According to the crystal structure analysis of [Li₂(THF)₃ · {Me₂Si(NBu^t)₂}], which is involved in the synthesis reaction, the two lithium atoms are connected with both the nitrogen atoms of the t-butyl amide groups and bridged via an oxygen atom of one of the THF molecules.

The reaction is accompanied by the formation of the dark blue side‐product (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ ( 2a ), which can be obtained as the main product by application of a large excess of Me₃SiN₃. Dark blue needles of 2a crystallize spontaneously from the CH₂Cl₂ solution within one hour at 4 °C.

The vanadium(IV) complex 1 is characterized by X‐ray structure determination and by vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) as well as by EPR spectroscopy, whereas 2b is characterized by IR spectroscopy. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 1009.5(1), b = 1226.6(2), c = 1943.0(2) pm, β = 98.42(1)°, R₁ = 0.0672.

The complex anion forms centrosymmetric units of symmetry C_i with V₂N₂ four‐membered rings and VN bond lengths of 200.4(3) and 234.4(2) pm, respectively. The non‐bonding V···V distance amounts to 356.2(1) pm. 2b : Space group , Z = 1, a = 1037.3(2), b = 1157.6(2), c = 1177.2(2) pm, α = 98.48(2)°, ° = 103.82(2)°, γ = 106.33(2)°, V = 1281.8(4) ų, d_calc. = 1.471 g·cm^?3, R₁ = 0.0724. The structure of the complex anion is similar to the anion of 2a with VN bond lengths of the four‐membered V₂N₂ ring of 203.3(4) and 235.2(4) pm, respectively, and a non‐bonding V···V distance of 357.5(1) pm.

Preparation and Crystal Structures of Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂, Cu[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂, and Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₃ The coordination compounds Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂ ( 1 ), Cu[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₂ ( 2 ), and Ag[N(CN)₂](PPh₃)₃ ( 3 ) are obtained by the reaction of AgN(CN)₂ or CuN(CN)₂ with triphenylphosphane in CH₂Cl₂. X‐ray structure determinations were performed on single crystals of 1 , 2 , and 3 · C₆H₅Cl.

In all structures the metal atoms have a distorted tetrahedral coordination. The crystal structure of 3 · C₆H₅Cl shows monomeric molecular units with terminal coordinated dicyanamide. The crystal structure of 1 is built up by dinuclear units, which are bridged by dicyanamide ligands. However, the crystal structure of 2 corresponds to a onedimensional coordination polymer, bridged by dicyanamide anions.
