Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections.

Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.

1,2-Hydrogen abstraction: the characterization of [Li(CH3)2N(CH2)2N(CH3)2]2 [C12H8]. A dilithium complex obtained by the 1,2 deprotonation of acenaphthylene

The reaction of n-butyllithium chelated to N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) with acenaphthene results in 1,2-hydrogen abstraction to give the dilithio complex of acenaphthylene, [Li(CH₃)₂N(CH₂)₂N(CH₃)₂]₂[C₁₂H₈]. This compound was isolated as a crystalline product and characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography.

The calculated density is 1.04 g cm^?3 for 8 molecules per unit cell. The observed density is 1.03(4) g cm^?3. 1412 unique reflections were measured on a full circle X-ray diffractometer. The light atom, acentric structure was solved by the symbolic addition technique and refined by full matrix least squares to R₁ = 0.058 and R₂ = 0.056.The acenaphthylene fragment is nearly planar. The effect of charge transfer is evidenced in the short C(3)C(4) bond distance of 1.30(3) Å and the lengthening of the C(1)C(2) bond length from the localized olefinic bond distance of 1.34 to 1.42(2) Å. The two LiTMEDA fragments are coordinated to both sides of the five membered carbon atom ring of the acenaphthylene group.

Triaqua(18-crown-6)strontium tetrachlorocuprate(II) hemihydrate: Synthesis and crystal structure

The new complex [Sr(18-crown-6)(H₂O)₃]²⁺[CuCl₄]^2? · 0.42H₂O was obtained; its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis: space group P2₁, a = 10.305 Å, b = 13.570 Å, c = 17.566 Å, β = 98.23 °, Z = 4 (direct method, anisotropic full-matrix least-squares method, R = 0.053 from independent reflections; CAD-4 automated diffractometer, λMoK _α). The asymmetric part of the unit cell comprises two independent “guest-host” complex cations [Sr(18-crown-6)(H₂O)₃]²⁺, two independent complex anions [CuCl₄]^2?, and a hydrate water molecule with a position population of 0.84(1).     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalysen der Chloro-Iodo-Rhenate(IV) (CH2Py2)[ReCl5I], cis-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO,trans-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO und fac-(EtPh3P)2[ReCl3I3]

Crystal Structures, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analyses of the Chloro-Iodo-Rhenates(IV) (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I], cis -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, trans -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, and fac -(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] [ReCl₅I]^2–, cis-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, trans-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, and fac-[ReCl₃I₃]^2– have been synthesized by ligand exchange reactions of [ReI₆]^2– with HCl and are separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I] ( 1 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.685(2), b = 9.253(2), c = 12.090(4) Å, α = 90.06(2), β = 101.11(2), γ = 95.07(2)°, Z = 2), cis-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 2 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 8.662(2), b = 12.109(2), c = 12.9510(12) Å, a = 97.533(11), β = 96.82(2), γ = 89.90(2)°, Z = 2) , trans-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 3 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.315(7), b = 9.663(3), c = 15.232(3) Å, α = 80.09(2), β = 81.79(4), γ = 83.99(5)°, Z = 2) and fac-(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] ( 4 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 17.453(2), b = 13.366(1), c = 19.420(1) Å, β = 112.132(8)°, Z = 4). The crystal structure of ( 1 ) reveals a positional disorder of the anion sublattice along the asymmetric axis. Due to the stronger trans influence of I compared with Cl on asymmetric axes Cl˙–Re–I′ is caused a mean lenghthening of the Re–Cl˙ distances of 0.020 Å (0.8%) and a shortening of the Re–I′ distances of 0.035 Å (1.3%) with regard to symmetrically coordinated axes Cl–Re–Cl and I–Re–I, respectively. Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salts of all four chloro-iodo-rhenates(IV) are assigned by normal coordinate analyses. The weakening of the Re–Cl˙ bonds and the strengthening of the Re–I′ bonds is indicated by a decrease or increase of the valence force constants each by 9%.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Copper(I) Chloride π-Complexes with N-Allyl- and N,N'-Diallylpiperazinium Dichlorides: [C3H5NH(CH2)4NH2]Cu2Cl4and [C3H5NH(CH2)4NHC3H5]0.5CuCl2

The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes with N-allyl piperazine derivatives, [C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NH₂]Cu₂Cl₄(I) and [C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NHC₃H₅]_0.5CuCl₂(II), were prepared by alternating-current electrochemical synthesis. X-ray diffraction study showed that compounds Iand IIcrystallize in the monoclinic system: for I, space group P2₁/a, a= 10.254(4) Å, b= 12.306(4) Å, c= 10.656(4) Å, γ = 98.83(3)°, V= 1329(2) ų, Z= 4, R= 0.0457 for 1334 independent reflections; for II, space group P2₁/n, a= 10.187(2) Å, b= 7.283(2) Å, c= 10.480(3) Å, γ = 100.72(2)°, V= 764.0(6) ų, Z= 4, R= 0.0371 for 1025 independent reflections. The structure of Iis composed of {Cu₂Cl₄(C₇H₁₆N₂)}₂dimers linked by fairly strong (N)H···Cl hydrogen bonds (2.35(4) Å). The structure of IIconsists of centrosymmetrical dimeric Cu₂Cl₄ ^2–anions, whose copper atoms coordinate the allyl groups of different centrosymmetrical organic cations. The dimer–ligand chains are stretched along the [ $ {11} $ 0] direction and are joined by hydrogen contacts (N)H···Cl (2.62(4) Å).
