State of uranyl silicates MII(HSiUO6)2 ·6H2O (MII=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) in aqueous solutions

Uranyl silicates with formula M^II(HSiUO₆)₂·6H₂O (M^II=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were investigated in aqueous solutions in the pH range of 0÷14. The pH interval was established where compounds preserve their composition and structure. It varies in the pH range of (3.5–4.0)÷(10.8–11.4) and depends on M^II type. Out of this pH interval investigated uranyl silicates convert to the compounds of other composition and structure, such as amorphous silica, polyuranates and hydroxides of 3d-transition elements. The solubility of M^II(HSiUO₆)₂·6H₂O was determined, it’s value changes on the several orders of magnitude from 10^?6 M in subalkali solutions to 10^?3 M in acid and strongly alkaline media. Using obtained experimental data the solubility products and solubility curves of uranyl silicates were calculated by mathematical modeling. Also the speciation diagrams of uranium (VI), silicon (IV) and M (II) in solutions and solids were plotted.     

Low frequency vibrational spectra of crystalline and glassy metaborates Ba2MII(B3O6)2 (MII  Mg,Ca, Ni,Co, Cd)

The low frequency vibrational spectra (Raman and IR) of crystalline metaborates Ba₂M^II(B₃O₆)₂ (M^II  Mg, Ca, Ni, Co, Cd) are interpreted on the basis of a factor group analysis and with the help of ²⁴Mg²⁶Mg and ⁴⁰Ca⁴⁴Ca isotopic shifts. The far-IR spectra of the glasses appear as the envelope of the spectra of the corresponding crystalline compounds for M^II  Mg, Ca and Cd, but they exhibit an additional broad absorption centred near 400 cm⁻¹ for M^II  Co, Ni and Zn. This absorption is assigned to a fourfold coordination of part of the M^II cations, the remaining being in sixfold coordination (as in the crystal) and responsible for a broad absorption in the 300-200 cm⁻¹ region. The possible existence of correlations between coordination and vibrational frequencies is discussed for either alkali and alkaline-earth cations, or transition elements.

Isodimorphism of the salts 2RbCl · MIICl2 · 2H2O (MII = Mn,Fe, Co,Cu)

The three-component systems RbClMnCl₂H₂O, 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · CuCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O, 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · MnCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O have been studied at 25°C. In the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · CuCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O system, a discontinuous series of mixed crystals is formed and in the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · MnCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O system, a continuous series is present.The unit cell parameters of the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O double salt were determined: a = 5.586(2) Å, b = 6.469(3) Å, c = 6.988(2) Å, α = 65.31(3)°, β = 87.69(3)°, γ = 84.65(4)°, volume 228.4 ų, Z = 1.The results obtained and discussed in conjunction with the crystal structure data suggest that for 2M^ICl · M^IICl₂ · 2H₂O type salts the triclinic structure is stable only when the large rubidium and cesium ions participate in combinations with non-Jahn-Teller metal(II) ions. In the cases of Jahn-Teller metal(II) ions or with potassium or ammonium ions a tetragonal structure is always stable.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of the banana-shaped tungstophosphates: [M6(H2O)2(PW9O34)2(PW6O26)]17− (MII=NiII,CoII)

Two new banana-shaped tungstophosphates [M₆(H₂O)₂(PW₉O₃₄)₂(PW₆O₂₆)]^{17 ?} (M^II?=?Ni^II, Co^II) incorporating two types of lacunary polyoxometalate units have been synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, and UV spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses show that Na₆H₁₁[Ni₆(H₂O)₂(PW₉O₃₄)₂(PW₆O₂₆)]?·?32H₂O (1) and Na₇H₁₀[Co₆(H₂O)₂(PW₉O₃₄)₂(PW₆O₂₆)]?· 31H₂O (2) are generated from two tri-M^II substituted B-α-[(MOH₂)M₂PW₉O₃₄] Keggin units connected by a hexavacant [PW₆O₂₆]^11? Keggin fragment, leading to the M^II-containing banana-shaped tungstophosphates. Magnetic properties of 2 show decrease of the molar magnetic susceptibility at higher temperatures results from spin-orbit coupling of Co^II and antiferromagnetic interactions whereas the maximum at the lower temperatures is indicative of the ferromagnetic interactions within the trinuclear Co^II spin cluster in the sandwich belt.     

Study of the state of uranoarsenates MII(AsUO6)2·nH2O(MII = Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+) in aqueous solutions

State of uranoarsenates M^II(AsUO₆)₂·nH₂O (M^II = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) in aqueous solutions in a wide range of acidity (pH 0?C14) was studied. Acid-base boundaries of existence of the compounds were estimated, products of conversion were identified, and solubility of M^II(AsUO₆)₂·nH₂O was determined. On the basis of the obtained data the solubility products and Gibbs functions of formation of uranoarsenates, and the solubility curves were calculated, phase diagrams of uranium(VI) and arsenic(V) in solutions and in equilibrium solid phases were constructed with the use of the equilibrium thermodynamics technique.     

New transition metal sulfates templated by 1,4-butanediamine, (C4H14N2)[MII(H2O)6](SO4)2·4H2O (MII: Co,Ni): Structure,reactivity and thermal decomposition

Two new hybrid materials, (C₄H₁₄N₂)[M^II(H₂O)₆](SO₄)₂·4H₂O (M^II: Co (I), Ni (II)), have been synthesised by slow evaporation method at room temperature and crystallographically characterized. They crystallise isotypically in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n, with the following unit-cell parameters a = 9.2285(3), b = 11.3333(4), c = 10.6693(4) Å, β = 109.004(2)°, Z = 2 and V = 1055.07(6) Å³ for I and a = 9.2127(2), b = 11.3182(2), c = 10.6434(2) Å, β = 109.094(1)°, Z = 2 and V = 1048.74(4) Å³ for II. The structure of the two supramolecular compounds consists of metallic cation octahedrally coordinated to six water molecules, sulfate anions, 1,4-butanediammonium cation and water molecules linked together via two types of hydrogen bonds, O–H?O and N–H?O. The two compounds are not stable at room temperature and their partial dehydration depends on the humidity of the environment. The thermal decomposition of precursors, studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction (TDXD), shows successive intermediate hydrates and crystalline anhydrous compounds upon dehydration.     

Synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of heterometallic trinuclear complexes {MII��LnIII��MII} (MII = Ni, Cu; LnIII = La, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd)

Trinuclear heterometallic complexes containing the {M₂Ln(Piv)₆(NO₃)} (M^II = Ni, Cu; Ln^III = Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd; Piv^? is the anion of pivalic acid) and {Cu₂Ln(Piv)₈)]^? (Ln^III = Eu, Gd) metal cores were synthesized, their structures and magnetic properties were studied. For the most compounds, it was shown that their magnetic properties can be interpreted taking no interaction of the 3d-metal ions and a lanthanide into account. Ferromagnetic exchange interactions were found to exist between the unpaired electrons of the paramagnetic centers in the exchange clusters of the gadolinium-containing heterometallic complexes {M-Gd-M} (M = Ni or Cu).

Crystal Growth and Crystal Structures of Gold(V) Compounds: Cu(AuF6)2, Ag(AuF6)2, and O2(CuF)3(AuF6)4 ⋅ HF

Crystal growth from anhydrous hydrogen fluoride solutions of M²⁺ (M=Cu, Ag) and [AuF₆]⁻ gave M(AuF₆)₂ salts (M=Cu, Ag). Similar attempts to prepare single crystals of the corresponding nickel, zinc and magnesium salts failed. The crystal structure of Cu(AuF₆)₂ consists of layers of Cu²⁺ cations connected by [AuF₆]⁻ anions, thus forming slabs. Only van der Waals interactions exist between adjacent slabs. The crystal structure of Ag(AuF₆)₂ consists of a three-dimensional framework in which Ag⁺ cations are linked by [AuF₆]⁻ anions. Both structures are members of the M^II(X^VF₆)₂ family, in which seven different structure types have been observed to date. In the crystal structure of O₂(CuF)₃(AuF₆)₄ ⋅ HF, the bridging AuF₆ units connect [−Cu−F−Cu−F−]_∞ chains to form stacks between which O₂⁺ cations and HF molecules are located.     

The crystal structure of bis(N-pentafluorophenyl)tetraphenyl-cyclodisilazane-tetrabenzene, (Ph2SiNC6F5)2 · 4C6H6

The disilazane (Ph₂SiNC₆F₅)₂ crystallises from benzene solution with four molecules of solvent in the orthorhombic space group Pnna with a 18.182(6), b 21.480(8) and c 13.631(5) Å, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares to R 0.069 for 937 observed reflections. The Si₂N₂ ring is planar with NSiN and SiNSi angles of 85.2 and 95.5° respectively; the mean SiN distance is 1.755 Å. The C₆F₅ groups are twisted by ca. 16° from the Si₂N₂ plane and the benzene molecules are arranged face-on above and below each of the C₆F₅ groups. There are, in addition, short intermolecular contacts between four fluorines of each C₆F₅ group and hydrogen atoms from both solvate benzene and the phenyl groups of a symmetry related silazane. Attempts to refine the related (Me₂SiNC₆F₅)₂ structure were not successful, probably due to disorder.     

Synthesis,properties, and reactions of enantiomerically pure,chiral fluorous phosphines of the formula (menthyl)P(CH2CH2(CF2)n−1CF3)2 (n=6, 8)

Reactions of (menthyl)PH₂ and H₂CCHR_f6 (menthyl=1R,3R,4S; R_fn=(CF₂)_n−1CF₃) or H₂CCHR_f8 (AIBN, refluxing THF) give (menthyl)PH(CH₂CH₂R_fn) and then (menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂ (n=6, 7; n=8, 8), but with purification or other difficulties at each stage. Reactions of (menthyl)PCl₂ with IMgCH₂CH₂R_fn give, under careful conditions, analytically pure 7 or 8 in 28–32% yields after distillation. Some R_fn(CH₂)₄R_fn also form. These represent the first chiral (and non-racemic) fluorous phosphines. Reactions of 7 or 8 with [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and CO give trans-[(menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂]₂Ir(Cl)(CO) (n=6, 71%; 8, 51%) as analytically pure yellow oils. Their IR ν_CO values show the donor/acceptor properties of 7 and 8 to be intermediate between those of P((CH₂)₃R_f8)₃ and P((CH₂)₄R_f8)₃. The CF₃C₆F₁₁:toluene partition coefficients of 7 and 8 (27°C, 78.4:21.6 and 93.7:6.3) are distinctly lower than those of P((CH₂)₂R_fn)₃ (n=6, 98.8:1.2; n=8, >99.7:<0.3), reflecting the replacement of a linear C₈–C₁₀ group that is ca. 75–80% fluorinated by a cyclic C₁₀ terpenyl group. Reactions of 7 or 8 with [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ give [(menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂]Rh(Cl)(COD) (n=6, 69%; 8, 70%) as orange crystallizable oils.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and electrochemical studies of Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)(μ-L) (L = OH,OPPh2, PPh2)

Reaction of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ and Ph₂PH in the presence of Et₃N in THF at 0?°C immediately forms Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)(μ-OH) (1), Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)(μ-k²O,P-OPPh₂) (2), and Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)₂ (3) in yields of 25, 14, and 19%, respectively. Experiments confirm that Et₃N shortens the reaction time. The absence of O₂ hinders the formation of 2. The presence of H₂O can increase the yield of 1. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography and the complexes have been completely characterized by EA, IR, and ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR. Electrochemical studies reveal that they exhibit catalytic H₂-producing activities.     

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of binuclear metal-metal bonded molybdenum(V) and tungsten(V) thioselenohalides: Molecular structure of Mo2(μ-S2)2Cl6(SeCl2)2 and W2(μ-S2)2Cl6(SeCl2)2

Thioselenohalide complexes Mo₂(μ-S₂)₂Cl₆(SeCl₂)₂ (I), Mo₂(μ-S₂)₂Br₆(SeBr₂)₂ (II), and W₂(μ-S₂)₂Br₆(SeBr₂)₂ (III) were synthesized by the reactions of corresponding metal halides or carbonyls or molybdenum metal with excesses of S₂ X ₂+Se₂ X ₂ mixtures. The complex W₂(μ-S₂)₂Cl₆(SeCl₂)₂ (IV) was obtained by an exchange reaction between (III) and excess of Se₂Cl₂. Coordination of the neutral SeX ₂ ligands to thiohalidesM ₂(μ-S₂)₂ X ₆ results in higher thermal stability, and suggests the possibility to synthesize SeX ₂ complexes of the unstable parent tungsten thiohalides. An unusual oxidative addition reaction of (I) was detected: {fx27-1} Both (I) and (IV) were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. They are isostructural and form discrete molecules. Bridging S ₂ ^2? ligands are coordinated perpendicularly to the metal-metal bond;d(M?M)=2.8066 Å and 2.793 Å for I and IV, respectively. Nonequivalence of chlorine atoms which are bound to the metal atom, relate to nonequivalence of halogen atoms in the complexesM ₂(μ?S₂)₂ X ₈ ^2? . Chlorine atomstrans to SeCl₂ ligands form short bonds with the metal; the corresponding³⁵Cl NQR frequency is increased. The selenium dichloride ligand is ambidentate. The selenium atom binds as a donor to the metal and as an acceptor to two chlorine atoms which are also bound covalently to the same metal atom.     

Density functional calculations of the structures and bond energies of Cr(CO)6 and (η6-C6H6) Cr(CO)2(CX) (X=O,S) complexes

Summary Quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory have been performed on Cr(CO)₆, (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) at the local and nonlocal level of theory using different functionals. Good agreement is obtained with experiment for both optimized geometries and metal-ligand binding energies. In particular, a comparison of metal-arene bond energies calculated for the (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) complexes correlates well with kinetic data demonstrating that substitution of one CO group by CS leads to an important labilizing effect of this bond, which may be primarily attributed to a larger -backbonding charge transfer to the CS ligand as compared with CO.     

An absolute integrated infrared intensity study of (η6C6H5R)Cr(CO)2(CS) (R = H,Me, Cl,CO2Me)

The absolute integrated i.r. intensities of the CO and CS stretching bands of the thiocarbonyl complexes (η⁶C₆H₅R)Cr(CO)₂(CS), where R = H, Me, Cl and CO₂Me, have been determined in CS₂ solutions. The intensities have been correlated with each other and with the band wavenumbers, and have been shown to be dependent on the nature of the substituent R in the aromatic ring. The intensities have been demonstrated to be better probes of the electronic effects occurring in these complexes than are the wavenumbers, and correlate well with the Hammett substituent parameters, σ⁰.     

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.     

Cluster Complexes of Polythioether Macrocycles: The Synthesis and Molecular Structures of Ru6(CO)13(cis-SCH2 CHMe(CH2SCH2CHMe)2CH2)(μ6-C) and Ru6(CO)13(trans-SCH2 CHMe(CH2SCH2CHMe)2CH2)(μ6-C)

The reaction of a mixture of cis-3,7,11-trimethyl-1,5,9-trithiacyclododecane, cis-Me₃12S3, 1 and trans-3,7,11-trimethyl-l,5,9-trithiacyclododecane, trans-Me₃12S3, 2, with Ru₆(CO)₁₇(μ ₆-C), 3, yielded three new cluster compounds Ru₆(CO)₁₃(μ-η³-cis-SCH₂CHMe(CH₂SCH₂CHMe)₂CH₂)(μ ₆-C) 4, and two isomers of Ru₆(CO)₁₃(μ-η³-cis-SCH₂CHMe(CH₂SCH₂CHMe)₂CH₂)(μ ₆-C) 5a and 5b. The molecular structures of 4 and 5b were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. In both complexes, the macrocycles have adopted tridentate coordination with one of the sulfur atoms in a bridging position. Two carbonyl ligands occupy bridging positions in each compound.
