In each case the products were characterised by single‐crystal‐X‐ray‐structure‐analyses. As the main structure element 1 – 3 each have two As₄Ph₄^2–‐chains as ligands.

These new chalcogenoborates contain B₁₂ icosahedra completely saturated with six trigonal-planar BSe₃ entities functioning as bidentate ligands to form a persubstituted closo-dodecaborate anion. The two isotypic compounds Rb₄Hg₂[B₁₂(BSe₃)₆] and Cs₄Hg₂[B₁₂(BSe₃)₆] are the first selenoborate structures containing a transition metal which are characterized by single crystal diffraction.     

Neue amido‐ und imidoverbrückte Kupferkomplexe – Synthesen und Strukturen von [{Li(OEt2)}2][Cu(NPh2)3], [ClCuN(SnMe3)3], [{CuN(SnMe3)2}4], [Cu16(NH2tBu)12Cl16], [{CuNHtBu}8], [Li(dme)3][Cu6(NHMes)3(NMes)2], [PPh3(C6H4)CuNHMes], [{[Li(dme)][Cu(NHMes)(NHPh)]}2] und [{Li(dme)3}3][Li(dme)2][Cu12(NPh)8]

New Amido and Imido Bridged Complexes of Copper – Syntheses and Structures of [{Li(OEt₂)}₂][Cu(NPh₂)₃], [ClCuN(SnMe₃)₃], [{CuN(SnMe₃)₂}₄], [Cu₁₆(NH₂^tBu)₁₂Cl₁₆], [{CuNH^tBu}₈], [Li(dme)₃][Cu₆(NHMes)₃(NMes)₂], [PPh₃(C₆H₄)CuNHMes], [{[Li(dme)][Cu(NHMes)(NHPh)]}₂], and [{Li(dme)₃}₃][Li(dme)₂][Cu₁₂(NPh)₈] The reactions of stannylated and lithiated amines with coppersalts (halogenides, thiocyanates) lead to amido and imido bridged complexes which contain one to twelve metal atoms. [{Li(OEt₂)}₂][Cu(NPh₂)₃] ( 1 ) results from the reaction of CuCl with LiNPh₂ in the presence of trimethylphosphine. With N(SnMe₃)₃, CuCl reacts to the donor‐acceptor complex [ClCuN(SnMe₃)₃] ( 2 ) that is transformed into the tetrameric complex [{CuN(SnMe₃)₂}₄] ( 3 ) by thermolysis. 3 can also be obtained by the reaction of LiN(SnMe₃)₂ with Cu(SCN)₂. While terminally bound in 1 , the amido ligand is μ₂‐bridging between copper atoms in compound 3 . The influence of the alkyl amide's leaving group can be seen from a comparison of the reactivity of Me₃SnNH^tBu and LiNH^tBu, respectively. With Me₃SnNH^tBu, CuCl₂ forms the polymeric compound [Cu₁₆(NH₂^tBu)₁₂Cl₁₆] ( 4 ) whereas in the case of LiNH^tBu with both CuCl and CuSCN, the complex [{CuNH^tBu}₈] ( 5 ) is obtained. The latter contains two planar Cu₄N₄‐rings similar to those in 3 . If a mesityl group is introduced at the lithium amide, different products are accessible. Both, CuBr and CuSCN, lead to the formation of [Li(dme)₃][Cu₆(NHMes)₃(NMes)₂] ( 6 ) whose anion consists of a prismatic copper core with μ₂‐bridging amido and μ₃‐bridging imido ligands. In the presence of PPh₄Cl, a mixture of Cu(SCN)₂ and LiNHMes enables an ortho‐metallation reaction that produces [PPh₃(C₆H₄)CuNHMes] ( 7 ). From the reaction of CuSCN with LiNHMes and LiNHPh either the dimeric complex [{[Li(dme)][Cu(NHMes)(NHPh)]}₂] ( 8 ) or the cluster [{Li(dme)₃}₃][Li(dme)₂][Cu₁₂(NPh)₈] ( 9 ) results. The anion in 9 exhibits a cubo‐octahedron of copper atoms μ₃‐bridged by (NPh)^2–‐ligands. The solid state structures of compounds 1 – 9 have been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Synthese,Kristallstrukturen und Magnetismus von (Hg6As4)[MoCl6]Cl, (Hg6As4)[TiCl6]Cl und (Hg6As4)[TiBr6]Br

Polycationic Hg–As Frameworks with Trapped Anions. II Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetism of (Hg₆As₄)[MoCl₆]Cl, (Hg₆As₄)[TiCl₆]Cl, and (Hg₆As₄)[TiBr₆]Br (Hg₆As₄)[MoCl₆]Cl is obtained by reaction of Hg₂Cl₂, Hg, As, and MoCl₄ in closed, evacuated glass ampoules in a temperature gradient 450 → 400 °C in form of dark red cubelike crystals. (Hg₆As₄)[TiCl₆]Cl and (Hg₆As₄)[TiBr₆]Br are also formed in closed, evacuated ampoules from Hg₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br), Hg, As, and Ti metal at 275 °C and 245 °C in form of dark green and black crystals, respectively. All three compounds are air and light sensitive. They crystallize isotypically (cubic, Pa 3, a = 1207.8(4) pm for (Hg₆As₄)[MoCl₆]Cl, a = 1209.4(3) pm for (Hg₆As₄)[TiCl₆]Cl, a = 1230.9(3) pm for (Hg₆As₄)[TiBr₆]Br, Z = 4). The structures consist of a three‐dimensionally connected Hg–As framework which is made up of As₂ groups (As–As distance averaged 242 pm) each connected via six Hg atoms to six neighbouring As₂ groups. There are two cavities of different size in the polycationic framework. The bigger cavity is filled with [MoCl₆]^3–, [TiCl₆]^3–, and [TiBr₆]^3– ions of nearly ideal octahedral shape, the smaller cavity with discrete halide ions. The magnetic properties of the two Ti containing compounds are in accordance with a d¹ paramagnetism. The temperature dependence and the magnitude of the magnetic moment can be interpreted with consideration of the spin‐orbit coupling. The so far known representatives of this structure type can be characterised by the ionic formula (Hg₆Y₄)⁴⁺[MX₆]^3–X^– (Y = As, Sb; M = Sb³⁺, Bi³⁺, Mo³⁺, Ti³⁺; X = Cl, Br).

The structure consists of linear cations [Hg(NH₃)₂]²⁺ and T‐shaped anions [HgCl₃]^—. The coordination sphere of mercury is ?effectively”? completed to compressed hexagonal bipyramids and distorted octahedra, respectively. Single crystals of [Hg(NH₃)₄](ClO₄)₂ ( 2 ) are obtained by passing gaseous ammonia through a solution of mercuric perchlorate, while the solution was cooled to temperatures below 10 °C. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 791.52(9) pm, b = 1084.3(2) pm, c = 1566.4(2) pm, β = 120.352(1)°, Z = 4. The structure consists of compressed [Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺ tetrahedra and perchlorate anions. The packing of the heavy atoms Hg and Cl is analogous to the baddeleyite (α‐ZrO₂) type of structure.

Darstellung und Struktur des Mercuroarsoniumbromo-bismutats [Hg7(HgBr)2As4] [Bi2Br10]

Formation and Structure of the Mercuroarsonium-bromobismuthate [Hg₇(HgBr)₂As₄][Bi₂Br₁₀] The crystal structure of the compound Hg₉As₄Bi₂Br₁₂, obtained by solid state reaction, was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It consists of a polymeric cation framework [Hg₇(HgBr)₂As₄⁴⁺] formed by chaines of Hg₄As tetrahedrons, which are connected by mercury atoms. At several positions this connection is truncated by terminal HgBr groups. The bromobismuthate anion consists of two distorted octahedrons connected by a common bromine atom. One of the other bromine atoms is located so far from the central bismuth atom, that it must be correlated to a terminal HgBr group in the cationie network rather than to the anion. Thus the composition is Bi₂Br₁₀^4?.

[M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) are dimers in the solid state. X‐ray structural analyses of these phosphides reveal that [M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) contain four‐membered M₂P₂‐rings whereas [Cu(PtBu₂)]₄ features a planar eight‐membered Cu₄P₄‐ring. Degradation reaction of LiPtBu₂(BH₃) in the presence of HgCl₂ results in the dimeric phosphanylborane BH₃ adduct [tBu₂PBH₂(BH₃)]₂. X‐ray quality crystals of [tBu₂PBH₂(BH₃)]₂ (monoclinic, P2₁/n) are obtained from a pentane solution at 6 °C.
