Alternativ-Liganden. XXXII [1]. Neue Tetraphosphan-Nickelkomplexe mit Tripod-Liganden des Typs XM′ (OCH2PMe2)n(CH2CH2PR2)3 – n (M′ = Si,Ge; n = 0 – 3)

Alternative Ligands. XXXII [1]. Novel Tetraphosphane Nickel Complexes with Tripod-Ligands of the Type XM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PR₂)_{3 – n} (M′ = Si, Ge; n = 0 – 3) Tripod Ligands of the type XM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe_{23 – n} (M′ = Si, Ge; n = 0 – 3) ( 1 – 6 , Table 1) have been used together with PPh₃ or PMe₃ for the preparation of novel tetraphosphane complexes of Nickel. The representatives LNiPPh₃ ( 7 – 12 ) are obtained by reaction of Ni(COD)₂ (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with the corresponding ligands and PPh₃ in toluene in moderate yields. The synthesis of the derivatives LNiPMe₃ ( 13 – 18 ) is partly ( 16 – 18 ) accomplished in analogy to the Ph₃P-complexes; compounds 13 – 16 are obtained in higher yields by reaction of Ni(PMe₃)₄ with the respective ligand. As a rule, 13 – 18 cannot be separated from by-products. The trinuclear complex FSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃[Ni(PMe₂CH₂CH₂)₃SiF]₃ ( 19 ) is formed together with 18 in the reaction of Ni(COD)₂ with 6 and PMe₃. The new compounds have been characterized (if possible) by analytical (C, H), but in general by spectroscopic investigations (IR; ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹⁹F-, ³¹P-NMR; MS). A weak, but significant Ni → Si interaction through the cage is indicated by the following results: (i) Large low-field shifts δδ_F of 35.2 ppm ( 12 ), 38.3 ppm ( 18 ) and 37.7 ppm ( 19 ); (ii) ⁶J(PF) coupling constants [or ³J(PNiSiF) through the cage] of 6.0 Hz ( 12 ) and 7.6 Hz ( 18 ) together with a low-field shift δδ_Si of 12.8 ppm ( 12 ); (iii) NiSi distances of 3.95 Å in 7 and 3.92 Å in 12 , accompanied by a compression of the cage along the Ni ··· Si axis. An additional release from the high charge density on Ni results from π-backbonding to the phosphane ligands.     

Neue Oxonium-Bromochalkogenate(IV) — Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [H3O][TeBr5] · 3C4H8O2 und [H3O]2[SeBr6]

New Oxonium Bromochalcogenates(IV) — Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ and [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] Dark red crystals of the composition [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ ( 1 ) were isolated from a saturated solution of TeBr₄ in 1,4-dioxane containing a small amount of water. In this compound (space group P2₁/m, a = 8.922(4) Å, b = 13.204(7) Å, c = 9.853(5) Å, β = 91.82(4)° at 150 K) a square pyramidal [TeBr₅]^? anion has been isolated for the first time. The coordination sphere of the anion is completed to a distorted octahedron by weak interaction with a dioxane molecule of the cationic system. The [H₃O]⁺ cations are connected to chains by dioxane molecules. At room temperature the compound is stable only in its mother liquor. Crystalline [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] ( 2 ) (space group Fm3m, a = 10.421(1) Å at 170 K) is a bromoselenous acid of high symmetry. The [H₃O]⁺ ion is only weakly coordinated by Br atoms of the anion. The anions are isolated octahedral [SeBr₆]^2? units. The structure is isotypic to the K₂[PtCl₆] structure. Despite being a halogenochalcogen(IV) acid, 2 exhibits a remarkable thermal stability. Both oxonium compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. Vibrational spectra of 2 are reported.     

A series of novel lanthanide polyoxometalates: condensation of building blocks dependent on the nature of rare earth cations

A series of novel lanthanide polyoxomolybdates was synthesized by reaction of lanthanide cations with the Anderson type anion (TeMo(6)O(24))(6-). The polyoxometalates K(6n)(TeMo(6)O(24))(n)[(Ln(H(2)O)(7))(2)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n)[middle dot]16nH(2)O (Ln = Eu, Gd) and K(3n)[Ln(H(2)O)(5)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n)[middle dot]6nH(2)O (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) were characterized by X-ray structure analysis, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. We found that the solid-state structures of Ln/(TeMo(6)O(24))(6-) compounds are strongly dependent on the lanthanide cations, and therefore represent a rare example for different arrangements of building units depending on the nature of the rare earth cations. While the Eu(3+) and Gd(3+) cations achieve ninefold coordination by seven water molecules and two terminal oxygen atoms of the (TeMo(6)O(24))(6-) anions, the Tb(3+), Dy(3+), Ho(3+) and Er(3+) cations are coordinated by five water molecules, two terminal oxygen atoms and one molybdenum-bridging oxygen atom belonging to the (TeMo(6)O(24))(6-) anion. The europium and gadolinium substituted compounds contain infinite one-dimensional [(Ln(H(2)O)(7))(2)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n) chains; the terbium, dysprosium, holmium and erbium compounds contain infinite one-dimensional [Ln(H(2)O)(5)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n)(3n-) chains.     

Metallorganische Verbindungen des Kupfers XIII. Kupfer(I)-chlorid-Komplexe winkelgespannter Cycloheptine Synthesen und Röntgenstrukturanalysen

The strained cycloheptynes 2a, 2b and 2c react with copper(I) chloride to form the dinuclear complexes [CuCl(cycloheptyne)]₂ 3a, 3b and 3c respectively. X-ray diffraction studies on all three compounds 3 show an increase in strength of the copper-alkyne bond with increasing deformation of the alkyne moiety from the ideal 180°. Thus going from the least strained alkyne (2c) to the most strained one (2a), the Cu-C bond lengths in the corresponding complexes decrease from 197.5 pm (3c) to 194.9 pm (3a). The C≡C-C angles increase from 145.6° (3a) over 147.4° (3b) to 151.6° (3c).

Zusammenfassung

Die gespannten Cycloheptine 2a, 2b und 2c reagieren mit Kupfer(I)—chlorid unter Bildung der zweikernigen Komplexe [CuCl(cycloheptin)]₂ 3a, 3b und 3c. Röntgenstrukturanalysen von allen drei Verbindungen 3 zeigen, daβ die Stärke der Kupfer—Alkin-Bindung zunimmt je mehr das ganze Alkinsystem vom idealen 180°-Winkel abweicht. Geht man vom am wenigsten gespannten Alkin (2c) zum gespanntesten (2a), so nehmen die Cu-C-Bindungslängen in den entsprechenden Komplexen von 197.5 pm (3c) auf 194.9 pm (3a) ab. Die C≡C-C-Winkel werden von 145.6° (3a) über 147.4° (3b) nach 151.6° (3c) hin gröβer.     

Na2B2Se7, K2B2S7 und K2B2Se7: Drei Perchalkogenoborate mit neuem polymeren Anionengerüst

Na₂B₂Se₇, K₂B₂S₇, and K₂B₂Se₇: Three Perchalcogenoborates with a Novel Polymeric Anion Network Na₂B₂Se₇ (I 2/a; a = 11.863(4) Å, b = 6.703(2) Å, c = 13.811(6) Å, β = 109.41(2)°; Z = 4), K₂B₂S₇ (I 2/a; a = 11.660(2) Å, β = 6.827(1) Å, c = 12.992(3) Å, β = 106.78(3)°; Z = 4), and K₂B₂Se₇ (I 2/a; a = 12.092(4) Å, b = 7.054(2) Å, c = 13.991(5) Å, β = 107.79(3)°; Z = 4) were prepared by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of sodium selenide (potassium sulfide) with boron and sulfur or of potassium selenide and boron diselenide, respectively, at 600°C with subsequent annealing. The crystal structures consist of polymeric anion chains of composition ([B₂S₇]^2?)_n or ([B₂Se₇]^2?)_n formed by spirocyclically connected five-membered B₂S₃ (B₂Se₃) rings and six-membered B₂S₄ (B₂Se₄) rings. The nine-coordinate alkaline metal cations are situated in between.     

Determination of a new anti-allergenic agent, 1-[4-[3-[4-[bis-(4-fluorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]-1-piperidinyl] propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone, and its active acidic metabolite in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography

High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods were developed for the analysis of two compounds in a series of new antiallergenic agents, 1-[4-[3-[4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]-1-piperidinyl] propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone and its active acidic metabolite in plasma. The methods utilize ultraviolet or fluorescence detection, liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase HPLC. The drugs were quantitated in samples from bioavailability studies performed in dogs. Calibrations were in the ng/ml concentration range for both compounds in plasma.
