Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren von Chloro-Bromo-Dirhodaten(III), [Rh2ClnBr9−n]3−, n = 0–9

Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Nonahalogenodirhodates(III), [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–9 The pure nonahalogenodirhodates(III), A₃[Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n], A = K, Cs, (TBA); n = 0–4, 9, have been prepared. They are formed from the monomer chlorobromorhodates(III), [RhCl_nBr_6-n]^3?, n = 0–6, which are bridged to confacial bioctahedral complexes by ligand abstraction in less polar organic solvents. From the mixtures the complexions are separated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The solid, air-stable, air-stable, K-, Cs- and (TBA)-salts of [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–4, are green, of [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are brown. The IR and Raman spectra of [Rh₂Br₉]^3? and [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are assigned according to the point group D_3h. The chlorobromodirhodates exist as mixtures of geometrical and structural isomers, which belong to different point groups. The vibrational spectra exhibit bands in characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(Rh—Cl_t): 360–320, v(Rh—Br_t): 280–250; in a middle region with bridging ligands v(Rh—Cl_b): 300–270, v(Rh—Br_b): 210–170 cm^?1; the deformation bands are observed at distinct lower frequencies. The terminal ligands are fixed very strong, and the distance between v(Rh—X_t) and v(Rh—X_b) increases with decreasing size of the cations.

XAFS spectroscopic study of Tc2(O2CCH3)4X2 (X = Cl,Br)

Technetium dimers Tc₂(O₂CCH₃)₄X₂ (X =?Cl, Br) were synthesized and studied by X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy (XAFS). EXAFS analysis gave for Tc₂(O₂CCH₃)₄Cl₂: d Tc-Tc =?2.18(1) Å, d Tc–Cl =?2.43(1) Å and for Tc₂(O₂CCH₃)₄Br₂: d Tc–Tc =?2.19(1) Å, d Tc-Br =?2.63(1) Å. The Tc Tc separations are in agreement with Raman studies while the Tc–X distances are somewhat larger. Comparison with other Tc(III) quadruply bonded dimers indicates that the carboxylate compounds exhibit larger Tc–Tc separations. The effect of the terminal ligand (nature and position) on the Tc–Tc separation is discussed.

In the vibrational spectra the PtX stretching vibrations are observed at 335 and 336 ( 1 ) and 219 and 231 cm^—1 ( 2 ). The PtO stretching vibrations are coupled with internal modes of the oxalato ligands and appear in the range of 350 — 800 cm^—1. Using the molecular parameters of the X‐Ray determinations the IR and Raman spectra of the (n‐Bu₄N) salts are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(PtCl) = 1.97, f_d(PtBr) = 1.78 and f_d(PtO) = 2.48 ( 1 ) and 2.38 mdyn/Å ( 2 ). Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved. The NMR shifts are δ(¹⁹⁵Pt) = 3603.9 ( 1 ) and 3318.1 ppm ( 2 ).

The structural study shows distorted octahedral geometry for both 1 and 2 with MN₄S₂ chromophores. The space group of 1 is C2/c (monoclinic) and that of 2 is P2₁2₁2₁ (orthorhombic). The electrochemical electron transfer study in MeCN solutions shows a one-electron reductive response presumably due to a metal(III)–metal(II) couple.

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung der Decahalogenodirhenate(IV), [Re2X10]2−, X = Cl,Br

Preparation and spectroscopic characterization of the decahalogenodirhenates(IV), [Re₂X₁₀]^2?, X = Cl, Br On heating of [ReX₆]^2? with trifluoroacetic acid/trifluoroacetic anhydride (1 : 1), the edge-sharing bioctahedral anions [Re₂X₁₀]^2?, X = Cl, Br are formed, which IR and Raman spectra are assigned according to point group D_2h. The bands are found in three characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(ReCl_t): 367–321, v(ReBr_t): 242–195; in an intermediate region with bridging ligands v(ReCl_b): 278–250, v(ReBr_b): 201–167 cm^?1, and at distinct lower frequencies the deformation modes. The absorption spectra of the dirhenates are distinguished in the region 600–1400 nm by eight intraconfigurational transitions with a slight bathochromic shift and higher intensities in comparison to the monomeric complexes. Due to a stronger bonding of the terminal ligands the energy of the charge transfer bands is lowered by about 4 000 cm^?1, too. The magnetic moments are 3.32 and 3.81 B.M./Re^IV for [Re₂Cl₁₀]^2? and [Re₂Br₁₀]^2?, respectively.

If the reaction is carried out with PdCl₂ instead of PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂, orange crystals of hitherto unknown [(n‐Bu)₄N]₂[Pd₃Cl₈] ( 3 ) are obtained besides some crystals of 1· THF. 3 crystallizes with the space group P1¯ and a = 1141.50(8), b = 1401.2(1), c = 1665.9(1)pm, α = 67.529(8)°, β = 81.960(9)°, γ = 66.813(8)° and Z = 2. In the centrosymmetric complex anion [{(THF)Cl₄Re≡N}₂PdCl₂]^2— a linear PdCl₂ moiety is connected in trans arrangement with two complex fragments [(THF)Cl₄Re≡N]^— via asymmetric nitrido bridges Re≡N‐Pd. For Pd(II) thereby results a square‐planar coordination PdCl₂N₂. The linear nitrido bridges are characterized by distances Re‐N = 163.8(7)pm and Pd‐N = 194.1(7)pm.

On Tetrachlorophosphonium Chlorometallates of Rhenium and Molybdenum: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Magnetism of [PCl4]2[Re2Cl10] and [PCl4]3[ReCl6]2, and the Magnetic Properties of [PCl4]2[Mo2Cl10]

MoCl₄, ReCl₄, and ReCl₅ react with PCl₅ in sealed glass ampoules at temperatures between 220° and 320° to [PCl₄]₂[Mo₂Cl₁₀] ( 1 ) [PCl₄]₂[Re₂Cl₁₀] ( 2 ), and [PCl₄]₃[ReCl₆]₂ ( 3 ). 2 crystallizes isotypically to the previously reported 1 and the respective titanium and tin containing analogues. The structure (triclinic, P1, Z = 1, a = 897.3(2), b = 946.0(2), c = 687.13(9) pm, α = 95.59(2)°, β = 95.80(2)°, γ = 101.07(2)°, V = 565.4(2) 10⁶ pm³) is built of tetrahedral [PCl₄]⁺ and edge sharing double octahedral [Re₂Cl₁₀]^2– ions and can be derived from a hexagonal closest packing of Cl^– ions with tetrahedral and octahedral holes partially filled by P(V) and Re(IV), respectively. 3 crystallizes isotypically to [PCl₄]₃[PCl₆][MCl₆] (M = Ti, Sn) (tetragonal, P 4₂/mbc, Z = 4, a = 1496.2(1), c = 1363.2(2) pm). Because no evidence was found for the presence of [PCl₆]^– ions, Re in 3 has to be of mixed valency with Re^IV and Re^V sharing the same crystallographic site. The structure can be derived from a cubic closest packing or alternatively from an only sparsely distorted body centered cubic arrangement of Cl^– ions which is rarely found for anion arrays. The tetrahedral and octahedral holes are partially filled by P^V and M^IV/V, respectively. Magnetic measurements show all three compounds to be paramagnetic and confirm the oxidation state IV for Mo and Re in 1 and 2 and the mixed valence (IV/V) for Re in 3 .

The Ru—Cl distance is 2.421(1) Å and the Ru—S distance 2.250(2) Å. The four Ru—N distances are 2.057(6), 2.066(4), 2.073(4), and 2.086(4) Å with the Ru—N bond trans to Cl the second shortest and the Ru—N bond trans to S the longest one.

The syntheses have been achieved by reaction of the respective metal perchlorate with the tetradentate Schiff bases, L¹ and L², in presence of thiocyanate (for 1 and 2) or azide (for 3 and 4). The complexes have been characterized by microanalytical, spectroscopic, single crystal X-ray diffraction and other physicochemical studies. Structural studies reveal that 1–4 are distorted octahedral geometries. The antibacterial activity of all the complexes and their constituent Schiff bases have been tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

The dinucleating L^? is coordinated with two cobalt(III) centers to form the {L(O₂CCH₃)Co₂O(OCH₃)₂} unit, where each metal center is in a distorted octahedral N₂O₄ environment. The oxo and the methoxo ligands of these two dinuclear units assemble a distorted octahedral O₆ coordination sphere around the central cobalt(III). Elemental analysis and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, UV–vis, and HRMS) features are consistent with the pentanuclear structure of the complex. The diamagnetic complex is a 1?:?3 electrolyte in solution. It is redox-active and displays a metal-centered reduction at E_1/2 = ?0.04 V (vs. Ag/AgCl).

Cl: 2.386, Tc? Br: 2.519, Tc? N: 2.132(3) (X = Cl) and 2.143(4) Å (X = Br). The two pyridine rings are coplanar and vertical to the X? Tc? X-axes, forming angles of 42.28° (X = Cl) and 43.11° (X = Br). Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray structure determination and assuming D_2h point symmetry, the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field. Good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is obtained with the valence force constants f_d(TcCl) = 1.45, f_d(TcBr) = 1.035, f_d(TcN) = 1.37 (X = Cl) and 1.45 mdyn/ Å (X = Br), respectively.     

Synthesis and Characterisation of Luminescent [CrIII2L(μ-carboxylato)]3+ Complexes with High-Spin S=3 Ground States (L=N6S2 donor ligand)

The synthesis, structure, magnetic, and photophysical properties of two dinuclear, luminescent, mixed-ligand [Cr^III₂L(O₂CR)]³⁺ complexes (R=CH₃ ( 1 ), Ph ( 2 )) of a 24-membered binucleating hexa-aza-dithiophenolate macrocycle (L)²⁻ are presented. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals an edge-sharing bioctahedral N₃Cr(μ-SR)₂(μ_1,3-O₂CR)CrN₃ core structure with μ_1,3-bridging carboxylate groups. A ferromagnetic superexchange interaction between the electron spins of the Cr³⁺ ions leads to a high-spin (S=3) ground state. The coupling constants (J=+24.2(1) cm⁻¹ ( 1 ), +34.8(4) cm⁻¹ ( 2 ), H=−2JS₁S₂) are significantly larger than in related bis-μ-alkoxido-μ-carboxylato structures. DFT calculations performed on both complexes reproduce both the sign and strength of the exchange interactions found experimentally. Frozen methanol-dichloromethane 1 : 1 solutions of 1 and 2 luminesce at 750 nm when excited into the ⁴LMCT state on the ⁴A₂ → ²T₁ (ν₂) bands (λ_exc=405 nm). The absolute quantum yields (Φ_L) for 1 and 2 were found to be strongly temperature dependent. At 77 K in frozen MeOH/CH₂Cl₂ glasses, Φ_L=0.44±0.02 (for 1 ), Φ_L=0.45±0.02 (for 2 ).

Complexes of a New N3S2 Macrocycle: Synthesis,Structure and Electrospray Mass Spectrometry

The silver(I) complex of a 15-membered macrocyclic ligand with an N₃S₂ donor set (L¹) has been prepared by the reaction of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with 1,8-diamino-3,6-dithiaoctane in the presence of silver(I) ions. A reduced form (L²) of the ligand, in which the imine groups are converted to amines, was prepared by the reduction of the silver(I) complex by sodium borohydride. The ligand L² has been characterised by various spectroscopic techniques and the copper(II) complex has been prepared. The metal complexes of L¹ and L² have been characterised by electrospray mass spectrometry and UV-visible spectroscopy. The copper(II) complex of L¹ has been synthesised from [AgL¹]⁺ via metal exchange. [CuL¹](ClO₄)₂ crystallises in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁ with a = 14.374(5) Å, b = 12.947(3) Å, c = 11.824(3) Å with Z= 4. The geometry about the metal centre approximates trigonal bipyramidal with the pyridinyl nitrogen and the sulfur donors in the equatorial positions and the imine nitrogen donors in the axial positions. Metal ion exchange and the relative stabilities of metal complexes of the macrocyclic ligands were studied by electrospray mass spectrometry.

Synthesis and X-Ray Structures of the Rhenium Thionitrosyl Complexes mer-[Re(NS)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] · CH₂Cl₂ and trans-[Re(NS)Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂] mer-Dichlorotris(dimethylphenylphosphine)(thionitrosyl)rhenium(I), mer-[Re(NS)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃], and trans-Trichlorobis(dimethylphenylphosphine)(thionitrosyl)rhenium(II), trans-[Re(NS)Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂], are formed during the reaction of rhenium(V) mixed-ligand complexes of the general formula [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(R₂tcb)] with disulphur dichloride (HR₂tcb = N-(N,N-dialkylthiocarbamoyl)benzamidine). The chelating ligands are substituted during the reaction. mer-[Re(NS)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁/n. The dimensions of the unit cell are a = 8.854(2); b = 31.295(3); c = 11.981(3) Å; β = 108.14(1)°; Z = 4. A final R value of 0.033 was achieved on the basis of 5 387 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The rhenium atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment. The Me₂PhP ligands are arranged meridionally cis to the linear thionitrosyl group. trans-[Re(NS)Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with an unit cell of the dimensions a = 33.320(9); b = 8.446(1); c = 17.28(5) Å; β = 116.09(1)°, Z = 8. The R value converged at 0.026 on the basis of 5 460 independent reflections. The metal is octahedrally coordinated with the phosphine ligands in trans position to each other. The angle Re? N? S is 175.7(3)°.
