Phase formation in the K2MoO4-Lu2(MoO4)-Hf(MoO4)2 system and the structural study of triple molybdate K5LuHf(MoO4)6

Interactions in the ternary system K₂MoO₄-Lu₂(MoO₄)₃-Hf(MoO₄)₂ have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis. A new triple (potassium lutetium hafnium) molybdate with the 5: 1: 2 stoichiometry has been found. Single crystals of this molybdate have been grown. Its X-ray diffraction structure has been refined (an X8 APEX automated diffractometer, MoK _α radiation, 1960 F(hkl), R = 0.0166). The trigonal unit cell has the following parameters: a = 10.6536(1) ?, c = 37.8434(8) ?, V = 3719.75(9) ?, Z = 6, space group R c. The mixed 3D framework of the structure is built of Mo tetrahedra sharing corners with two independent (Lu,Hf)O₆ octahedra. Two sorts of potassium atoms occupy large framework voids.

Synthesis and polymer structure of [Zn(4,4′-bipy){(i-PrO)2PS2}2]n and thermal properties of ZnL{(i-PrO)2PS2}2 (L = phen, 2,2′-bipy, 4,4′-bipy)

A new mixed-ligand complex, Zn(4,4′-bipy){(i-PrO)₂PS₂}₂, was synthesized. Single crystals were grown,and the structure of the complex was determined by X-ray diffraction (CAD-4 diffractometer, MoK_α radiation, 14807 F_hkl, R =0.0391. The crystals are monoclinic with unit cell dimensions a-17.569(2), b = 26.253(5), c = 27.915(3) Å, ß =100.70(1)°, V = 12652(3) ų, Z = 16, d_valc = 1.361 g/cm³, space group P2₁/n. The structure is formed from infinite zigzag polymer chains stretched along the a axis. The coordination polyhedron of the Zn atom is a distorted tetrahedron formed by two S atoms of two monodentate diisopropyldithiophosphate ligands and two N atoms of two bridging bidentate 4,4′-bipy molecules. When heated in vacuum, the compounds ZnL{(i-PrO)₂PS₂}₂ (L) =phen, 2,2′-bipy, 4,4′-bipy are volatile.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of binuclear complexes of cobalt(II) and cadmium(II) diisobutyldithiophosphinates with hexamethylenetetramine

Heteroligand complexes [Co₂(HMTA)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₄] (I) (μ_eff = 4.67 μB) and [Cd₂(HMTA)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₄] (II) have been synthesized. Single crystals of compounds I and II have been obtained.

Structures I and II are based on discrete binuclear molecules. The coordination polyhedra of the Co and Cd atoms are distorted tetragonal pyramids NS₄, with the bases formed by four S atoms of two bidentate chelating ligand iso-Bu₂PS ₂ ^? and the axial vertices occupied by N atoms of bidentate bridging HMTA ligand. The character of interaction of the molecules in structures I and II is considered.

The dinuclear gold(III) complex, [Au₂(HL)(L)₂](ClO₄)₃(OH) (I) (HL = 1,3-diaminopropane), with two amide bridges has been synthesized for the first time. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the crystal structure of complex I consists of the complex cations [Au₂(HL)(L)₂]⁴⁺ and anions ClO₄⁻ and OH⁻. The coordination sites AuN₄ are insignificantly distorted squares. In the four-membered ring Au₂N₂, the gold atoms are bound by the bridging nitrogen atoms of the deprotonated primary amine.

Paramagnetic Cu(HL)Cl₂ · 0.25CHCl₃ (I) and Cu(HL)C1₂ · 0.25CH₂C1₂ (II), where HL is the optically active morpholino oxime obtained from the terpenoid caryophyllene, were synthesized.

According to X-ray diffraction data, the crystals of III are composed of acentric mononuclear complex molecules Cu(HL)Cl₂ and solvate molecules CHCl₃. In the complex molecules, the Cu ion coordinates two N atoms of the bidentate chelating ligand HL and two C1 atoms at the vertices of a distorted tetrahedron. The translationally identical molecules of the complex combined by H-bonds form chains along the axis x.
