Evolutionary Algorithm-based Crystal Structure Prediction for Gold(I) Fluoride

Solid gold(I) fluoride remains as an unsynthesized and uncharacterized compound. We have performed a search for potential gold(I) fluoride crystal structures using USPEX evolutionary algorithm and dispersion-corrected hybrid density functional methods. Over 4000 AuF crystal structures have been investigated. Behavior of the AuF crystal structures under pressure was studied up to 25 GPa, and we also evaluated the thermodynamic stability of the hypothetical AuF crystal structures with respect to AuF₃, AuF₅, and Au₃F₈. Mixed-valence compound Au₃[AuF₄] with Au atoms in various formal oxidation states emerged as the thermodynamically most stable AuF species.     

Ferromagnetic Interaction in μ1,3‐Cyanamido‐Derived Copper(II) Cryptates

The reaction of dinuclear copper(II ) cryptates with calcium cyanamide, CaNCN, and sodium dicyanamide, Na[N(CN)₂] results in dinuclear compounds of formulae [Cu₂(HNCN)(R3Bm)](ClO₄)₃ ( 1 ), [Cu₂(dca)(R3Bm)](ClO₄)₃?4H₂O ( 2 ), and [Cu₂(NCNCONH₂)(R3Bm)](CF₃SO₃)₃ ( 3 ), in which R3Bm=N[(CH₂)₂NHCH₂(C₆H₄‐m)CH₂NH(CH₂)₂]₃N and dca=dicyanamido ligand (NCNCN^?). The X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals for both 1 and 3 a dinuclear entity in which the copper atoms are bridged by means of the ‐NCN‐ unit. The molar magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1–3 in the 2–300 K range indicate ferromagnetic coupling. The calculated J values, by using theoretical methods based on density functional theory (DFT) are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. Catalytic hydration of a nitrile to an amide functional group is assumed responsible for the formation of 3 from a μ_1,3‐dicyanamido ligand.     

On Copper(I) Fluorides,the Cuprophilic Interaction,the Preparation of Copper Nitride at Room Temperature,and the Formation Mechanism at Elevated Temperatures

Our attempts to synthesize the hitherto unknown binary copper(I) fluoride have led to first successes and a serendipitious result: By conproportionation of elemental copper and copper(II) fluoride in anhydrous liquid ammonia, two copper(I) fluorides were obtained as simple NH₃ complexes. One of them presents an example of ligand‐unsupported “cuprophilic” interactions in an infinite [Cu₂(NH₃)₄]²⁺ chain with alternating Cu–Cu distances. We discovered that both copper(I) fluorides can easily be converted into Cu₃N at room temperature, just by applying a vacuum. Additionally, we investigated the formation mechanism of the classical synthesis route of Cu₃N that starts with CuF₂ and flowing NH₃ in the temperature range between ambient and 290 °C by means of thermal analysis and in situ neutron diffraction. The reaction proceeds at elevated temperatures through the formation of a blue and amorphous ammoniate Cu(NH₃)₂F₂, the reformation of CuF₂, and finally the redox reaction to form Cu₃N.

Synthesis,Structure, and Theoretical Study of Trifluoromethyl Derivatives of C84(22) Fullerene

Trifluoromethylation of higher fullerene mixtures with CF₃I was performed in ampoules at 400 to 420 and 550 to 560 °C. HPLC separation followed by crystal growth and X‐ray diffraction studies allowed the structure elucidation of nine CF₃ derivatives of D₂‐C₈₄ (isomer 22). Molecular structures of two isomers of C₈₄(22)(CF₃)₁₂, two isomers of C₈₄(22)(CF₃)₁₄, four isomers of C₈₄(22)(CF₃)₁₆, and one isomer of C₈₄(22)(CF₃)₂₀ were discussed in terms of their addition patterns and relative formation energies. DFT calculations were also used to predict the most stable molecular structures of lower CF₃ derivatives, C₈₄(22)(CF₃)_2–10. It was found that the addition of CF₃ groups to C₈₄(22) is governed by two rules: additions can only occur at para positions of C₆(CF₃)₂ hexagons and no additions can occur at triple‐hexagon‐junction positions on the fullerene cage.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Theoretical Study of Trifluoromethyl Derivatives of C84(23) Fullerene

Trifluoromethylation of a higher fullerene mixture with CF₃I was performed in ampoules at 550 °C. HPLC separation followed by crystal growth and X‐ray diffraction study resulted in the structure elucidation of nine CF₃ derivatives of D_2d‐C₈₄ (isomer 23). The molecular structures of C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₄, C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₈, C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₀, C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₂, two isomers of C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₄, two isomers of C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₆, and C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₈ were discussed in terms of their addition patterns and the relative formation energies. Extensive theoretical DFT calculations were performed to identify the most stable molecular structures. It was found that the addition of CF₃ groups to the C₈₄(23) fullerene is governed by two main rules: no additions in positions of triple hexagon junctions and predominantly para additions in C₆(CF₃)₂ hexagons on the fullerene cage. The only exception with an isolated CF₃ group in C₈₄(23)(CF₃)₁₂ is discussed in more detail.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Bonding, and Properties of (Ba6O)(OsN3)2

The new barium nitridoosmate oxide (Ba₆O)(OsN₃)₂ was prepared by reacting elemental barium and osmium (3:1) in nitrogen at 815–830 °C. The crystal structure of (Ba₆O)(OsN₃)₂ as determined by laboratory powder X‐ray diffraction ( , No 148: a=b=8.112(1) Å, c=17.390(1) Å, V=991.0(1) ų, Z=3), consists of sheets of trigonal OsN₃ units and trigonal‐antiprismatic Ba₆O groups, and is structurally related to the “313 nitrides” AE₃MN₃ (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba, M=V–Co, Ga). Density functional calculations, using a hybrid functional, likewise indicate the existence of oxygen in the Ba₆ polyhedra. The oxidation state 4+ of osmium is confirmed, both by the calculations and by XPS measurements. The bonding properties of the OsN₃^5? units are analyzed and compared to the Raman spectrum. The compound is paramagnetic from room temperature down to T=10 K. Between room temperature and 100 K it obeys the Curie–Weiss law (μ=1.68 μ_B). (Ba₆O)(OsN₃)₂ is semiconducting with a good electronic conductivity at room temperature (8.74×10^?2 Ω^?1 cm^?1). Below 142 K the temperature dependence of the conductivity resembles that of a variable‐range hopping mechanism.     

Haloacyl complexes of boron, [(CF3)3BC(O)Hal]- (Hal=F, Cl, Br, I)

The haloacyltris(trifluoromethyl)borate anions [(CF3)3BC(O)Hal]- (Hal=F, Cl, Br, I) have been synthesized by reacting (CF3)3BCO with either MHal (M=K, Cs; Hal=F) in SO2 or MHal (M=[nBu4N]+, [Et4N]+, [Ph4P]+; Hal=Cl, Br, I) in dichloromethane. Metathesis reactions of the fluoroacyl complex with Me3SiHal (Hal=Cl, Br, I) led to the formation of its higher homologues. The thermal stabilities of the haloacyltris(trifluoromethyl)borates decrease from the fluorine to the iodine derivative. The chemical reactivities decrease in the same order as demonstrated by a series of selected reactions. The new [(CF3)3BC(O)Hal]- (Hal=F, Cl, Br) salts are used as starting materials in the syntheses of novel compounds that contain the (CF3)3B-C fragment. All borate anions [(CF3)3BC(O)Hal]- (Hal=F, Cl, Br, I) have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (11B, 13C, 17O, 19F) and vibrational spectroscopy. [PPh4][(CF3)3BC(O)Br] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c (no. 13) and the bond parameters are compared with those of (CF3)3BCO and K[(CF3)3BC(O)F]. The interpretation of the spectroscopic and structural data are supported by DFT calculations [B3LYP/6-311+G(d)].

On the Molecular Structure and Bonding in a Lithium Bismuth Porphyrin Complex: LiBi(TPP)2

A new Bi? Li porphyrin sandwich compound, LiBi(TPP)₂ has been synthesized and characterized (TPP=tetraphenylporphyrin). The unique molecular structure of LiBi(TPP)₂ is such that the Bi sits between the porphyrins and is directed towards the Li. This complex was shown to remain intact in solution by temperature‐dependent 2D NMR spectroscopy. In order to investigate the potential interaction between these two metals, DFT calculations were used and showed a Bi 6s orbital polarized towards Li which could be indicative of a Bi? Li dative bond. This bond is remarkably short, 2.87 Å, and is among the shortest Bi? Li distances seen in a small molecule.

碘·(N,N'联吡啶)·(三苯基膦)合铜(I)的合成和晶体结构

铜（Ｉ）配合物的研究在金属酶的化学模拟和配合物结构及反应性能等研究方面具有重要的理论和实际意义［１］。但由于铜（Ｉ）配合物不稳定,且在多数有机溶剂中的溶解度较小,铜（Ｉ）配合物的合成比较困难。我们在铜（Ｉ）配合物的合成方面积累了一些经验,合成了一系列含有三苯基膦和氮杂环配体的铜（Ｉ）配合物［ＣｕＸ（ＰＰｈ３）Ｌ］ｎ［２～４］（ｎ＝１,Ｘ＝Ｉ,Ｌ＝１,１０ｐｈｅｎ;ｎ＝２,Ｘ＝Ｂｒ,Ｉ,Ｌ＝Ｃ９Ｈ７Ｎ）,并对它们的结构进行了研究。本文报道一个类似的新配合物［ＣｕＩ（ＰＰｈ３）（ｂｐｙ）］（Ｉ）的合成…
