Synthesis and Structure of a Novel Mg6 Cluster Molecule Mg6(μ3-OH)2(μ3-Br)2(μ-Br)8(THF)8

A novel Mg₆ cluster molecule with the formula of Mg₆( ₃-OH)₂( ₃-Br)₂(-Br)₈(THF)₈ (1) has been isolated in 38% yield from a reaction of the Grignard reagent, 2-naphthyl-Mg-Br with BBr₃ in THF. The structure of 1, determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, contains two Mg₃ triangles linked together by two bridging bromide ligands. Within each Mg₃ triangle, one hydroxide and one bromide ligand function as triply bridging ligands capping both sides of the Mg₃ triangle. The coordination geometry around each Mg(II) ion is approximately octahedral. NMR studies revealed that compound 1 is highly fluxional in solution.

The synthesis and crystal structure of novel Mo-Sn tetranuclear cubane-like cluster [Mo3(SnBr3)(μ3-O)(μ3-S)3(dtp)3(py)3]·(CH2Cl2)

The synthesis and crystal structure of the first example for hybrid Sn-Mo tetranuclear cubane-like cluster compound containing S/O mixed triple capping atom [Mo₃(SnBr₃)(μ ₃-O)(μ ₃-S)₃(dtp)₃(py)₃]·(CH₂Cl₂) (A) (dtp=S₂P(OC₂H₅)₂) are reported. The compound is prepared by the reaction of [Mo₃(μ ₃-O)(μ-S)₃(dtp)₄·(H₂O)] with SnBr ₃ ^? . The molecular structure of the cluster can be described as a [Mo₃OS₃] core with the SnBr ₃ ^? fragment linked to {Mo₃} triangle by three (μ ₃-S). Three Mo-Mo bond lengths are 2.616(2), 2.620(2), 2.628(2) Å, respectively, and the molecule has approximately C_3v symmetry. There is no bonding between Sn and Mo atoms, however, the addition of SnBr ₃ ^? may cause electron transfer from Sn²⁺ to [Mo₃OS₃] core to result in the shortening of Mo-Mo bond distances. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with refined lattice parameters ofa=13.012(4),b=22.877(6),c=18.585(6) Å,β=96.34(3)°,V=5498(3)ų, andZ=4. Full matrix refinement converged with final agreement factor ofR=0.054,R _w=0.064.     

Probing the aromaticity of the [(H(t)Ac)3(μ2-H)6], [(H(t)Th)3(μ2-H)6],(+), and [(H(t)Pa)3(μ2-H)6] clusters

In this study we report about the aromaticity of the prototypical [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)], [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+), and [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] clusters via two magnetic criteria: nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) and the magnetically induced current density. All-electron density functional theory calculations were carried out using the two-component zeroth-order regular approach and the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian, including scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects. Four-component current density maps and the integration of induced ring-current susceptibilities clearly show that the clusters [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] and [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+) are non-aromatic whereas [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is anti-aromatic. However, for the thorium cluster we find a discrepancy between the current density plots and the classification through the NICS index. Our results also demonstrate the increasing influence of f orbitals, on bonding and magnetic properties, with increasing atomic number in these clusters. We think that the enhanced electron mobility in [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is due the significant 5f character of its valence shell. Also the participation of f orbitals in bonding is the reason why the protactinium cluster has the shortest bond lengths of the three clusters. This study provides another example showing that the magnetically induced current density approach can give more reliable results than the NICS index.     

Syntheses, X-ray structural characterizations, and thermal stabilities of two nonclassical trinuclear vanadium(IV) complexes, (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(H2O) and (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(py), and polymeric complexes of stoichiometry (VO(O2PR2)2)∞, R2 = Ph2 and o-(CH2)2(C6H4)

The preparation and structural characterization of two trinuclear vanadium complexes, (V(3)(μ(3)-O)O(2))(μ(2)-O(2)P(CH(2)C(6)H(5))(2))(6)(H(2)O), 1, and (V(3)(μ(3)-O)O(2))(μ(2)-O(2)P(CH(2)C(6)H(5))(2))(6)(py), 2, are reported. In these nonclassical structures, the planar central core consists of the three vanadium atoms arranged in the form of an acute quasi-isosceles triangle with the central oxygen atom multiply bonded to the vanadium atom at the center of the vertex angle and weakly interacting with the two other vanadium atoms on the base sites, each of which contain one external multiply bonded oxygen atom. Reacting VO(acac)(2)in the presence of diphenylphosphinic acid affords (VO(O(2)PPh(2))(2))(∞), 3, while 2-hydroxyisophosphindoline-2-oxide at room temperature in CH(2)Cl(2) affords ((H(2)O)VO(O(2)Po-(CH(2))(2)C(6)H(4))(2))(∞), 4, and at 120 °C in EtOH yields (VO(O(2)P(o-(CH(2))(2)(C(6)H(4)))(∞), 5 on the basis of elemental analyses. The thermal and chemical stability of the complexes were assessed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The bond strengths of the vanadium atoms to the OH(2) ligand in 1 and to the NC(5)H(5) ligand in 2 were assessed at 10.7 and 42.0 kJ/mol respectively. Room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal magnetic moments for trinuclear 1 and 2 at 3.02(1) and 3.05(1) μ(B/mol), and also close to spin only values (1.73 μ(B)) values for 3, 4, and 5 at 1.77(2), 1.758(7), and 1.77(3) μ(B), respectively. Variable-temperature, solid-state magnetic susceptibility measurements were conducted on complex 2 in the temperature range of 2.0-298 K and at an applied field of 0.5 T. Magnetization measurements at 2 and 4 K confirmed a very weak magnetic interaction between the vanadyl centers.

THE SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF Mo_3(μ_3-O)(μ-S)_3(μ-O_2CC_6H_5)_2(dtp)_2(Py)

<正> The title compound was prepared by reaction of Mo3(μ3-O) (μ-S)3-(dtp)4 (H2O) with C6H5COONa and pyridine. C27 H35 Mo3NO9P2S7, Mr = 1091.76, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 15. 057(5), b = 13. 052(5), c = 21. 662(6)(?), β=105.97(2)°, V = 4093(2) (?)3, Z = 4, Dc= 1. 77gcm-3, F(000) = 2176, μ(MoKα)=13.50cm-1, final R =0. 068 for 2835 observations. The molecular configuration is new and of approximate C, symmetry, and there are two C6H5COO bridging groups in the structure. The three Mo atoms form an isosceles triangle with three sides of 2. 567(3), 2. 576(3), and 2. 649(3)(?), where the two Mo-Mo bonds bridged by C6H5COO group are much shorter than that without. Something about the reactivity of Mo clusters is discussed.     

Syntheses and characterization of the vanadium trimer (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(4,4′-bipyridine) and the vanadium hexamer [(V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6]2(μ2-N1,N2-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide)

Reacting VO(acac)₂ with six equivalents of dibenzylphosphinic acid in the presence of 4,4′-bipyridine or μ₂-N¹,N²-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide leads to trimeric (V₃(μ₃-O)O₂)(μ₂-O₂P(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₆(4,4′-bipyridine) or the hexamer [(V₃(μ₃-O)O₂)(μ₂-O₂P(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₆]₂(μ₂-N¹,N²-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide). The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic (FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies), TGA, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. The structures consist of a planar central core where three vanadium ions are arranged in the form of a quasi-isosceles triangle and contain an interstitial O which is multiply bonded to one V and weakly interacting at different bond distances to the remaining two V ions.

Preparation of organozirconium aromatic compounds in mixed aqueous-organic solvents: X-ray structures of [Cp2ZrCl(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H5)], [(CpZr)3(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H3Cl2)3(μ3-OH)(μ2-OH)3](Cl2C6H3COO)2, and [(CpZr)3(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H4Cl)3(μ3-OH)(μ2-OH)3]Cl2·CH2Cl2

A new and facile method is presented for the synthesis of zirconocene carboxylate compounds, in which zirconocene dichloride (Cp₂ZrCl₂) is dissolved in 1 M aqueous HCl solution and the requisite ligand is dissolved in an organic solvent. Five such compounds [Cp₂ZrCl(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₅)] (1), [Cp₂ZrCl(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃Cl₂)] (2), [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃(OH)Cl)₂] (3), [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃(OH)(NO₂))₂] (4), and [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H(OH)Cl₃)₂] (5) have been obtained by this method. The effect of pH on the stability of Cp₂ZrCl₂ in 1 M HCl solution has been investigated by UV/vis spectrophotometry and ¹H NMR spectrometry. The results showed that the aqueous Cp₂ZrCl₂ solutions became less stable with increasing pH, liberating cyclopentadiene. Accordingly, at higher pH (～7), two trinuclear zirconium monocyclopentadienyl compounds, [(CpZr)₃(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃Cl₂)₃(μ₃-OH)(μ₂-OH)₃](Cl₂C₆H₃COO)₂ (6) and [(CpZr)₃(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₄Cl)₃(μ₃-OH)(μ₂-OH)₃]Cl₂·CH₂Cl₂ (7), were obtained. All compounds 1–7 have been characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR spectra and elemental analysis. In all of the compounds, the aromatic acid acts as a bidentate ligand in coordinating to the zirconium; both chelating and bridging modes are observed. X-ray crystallographic studies on 1, 6, and 7 have revealed that the geometries at zirconium are distorted octahedral in 6 and 7, and distorted trigonal-bipyramidal in 1.
