Averaging 1.396(6) Å, the B—O bond length is short, and the B—O—B bond angle, 150.4(3)°, is very wide.

After addition of CCl₄ the reaction of Me₃SiNPEt₃ with HBBr₂ · SMe₂ in CH₂Cl₂ leads to the tri(phosphorano)borazinium monocation [H₃B₃(NPEt₃)₃Cl₂]⁺, which is characterized crystallographically as [H₃B₃ · (NPEt₃)₃Cl_1.85Br_0.15]Br · CCl₄.

NH₄[B₅O₆(OH)₄] · 2 H₂O can be isolated as product of hydrolysis of the tri(phosphorano)borazinium ions; its crystal structure is redetermined, because in the literature it is based on a wrong space group.

Phosphaniminato-Komplexe Seltener Erden. Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von [M2(C5H5)3(NPPh3)3] · 3 C7H8 mit M = Y,Dy und Er. Magnetische Eigenschaften von [Dy2(C5H5)3(NPPh3)3] · 3 C7H8

Phosphoraneiminato Complexes of Rare Earths Elements. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [M₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ mit M = Y, Dy, and Er. Magnetic Properties of [Dy₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ The title compounds have been prepared by reactions of the cyclopentadienidchlorides [M(C₅H₅)₂Cl]₂ with LiNPPh₃ in boiling toluene, and they were characterized by crystal structure determinations. All three compounds crystallize isotypicly with one another within the orthorhombic space group Pbca with Z = 8. Two of the three phosphoraneiminato groups link the metal atoms via μ₂-N atoms to almost planar M₂N₂ four-membered rings. The third NPPh₃^– group is terminally bonded. The magnetic susceptibility of [Dy₂(C₅H₅)₃(NPPh₃)₃] · 3 C₇H₈ has been determined (SQUID magnetometer) in the temperature range 1.7 K–300 K at magnetic fields between 0.01 T and 5 T. Calculations based on a cubic ligand field model lead to a satisfactory simulation with reasonable ligand field parameters. The inclusion of isotropic intramolecular exchange interactions in the model does not improve the fit, so that in the framework of the applied model no hints to a spin-spin coupling within the dinuclear units are obtained.     

Synthese,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [(C4H9)2NH2]4[Sn2Se6], [(C4H9)2NH2]4[Sn4Se10] · 2 H2O und [(C3H7)3NH]2[Sn3Se7]

About Selenidostannates. I Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [Sn₂Se₆]^4–, [Sn₄Se₁₀]^4–, and [Sn₃Se₇]^2– The selenidostannates [(C₄H₉)₂NH₂]₄Sn₂Se₆ · H₂O ( I ), [(C₄H₉)₂NH₂]₄Sn₄Se₁₀ · 2 H₂O ( II ) und [(C₃H₇)₃NH]₂Sn₃Se₇ ( III ) were prepared by hydrothermal syntheses from the elements and the amines. I crystallizes in the monoclinic spacegroup P2₁/n (a = 1262.9(3) pm, b = 1851.3(4) pm, c = 2305.2(4) pm, β = 104.13(3)° and Z = 4). The [Sn₂Se₆]^4– anion consists of two edge‐sharing tetrahedra. II crystallizes in the orthorhombic spacegroup Pna2₁ (a = 2080.3(4) pm, b = 1308.2(3) pm, c = 2263.5(5) pm and Z = 4). The anion is formed from four SnSe₄ tetrahedra which are joined by common corners to the adamantane cage [Sn₄Se₁₀]^4–. III crystallizes in the orthorhombic spacegroup Pbcn (a = 1371.1(3) pm, b = 2285.4(5) pm, c = 2194.7(4) pm and Z = 8). The anion is a chain, built from edge‐sharing [Sn₃Se₅Se_4/2]^2– units, in which two corner sharing tetrahedra are connected to a trigonal bipyramid by an edge of one and a corner of the other tetrahedron. The results of the TG/DSC measurements and of temperature dependent X‐ray diffractograms reveal that I and II decompose at first by release of minor quantities of triethylammonium to compounds with layer structure and larger cell dimensions. At still higher temperature the rest of triethylammonium and H₂Se is evolved, leaving SnSe₂ and Se in the bulk. The former decomposes partially at the highest temperature to SnSe. In the measurements of III the complex intermediate compound was not observed. III decomposes directly to SnSe₂.

The barium perfluoroalkanedisulfonates Ba(O₃S)₂(CF₂)_n (n = 1, 3–5) and the new potassium fluoroalkanedisulfonates K₂(O₃S)₂CHF, K₂(O₃S)₂CF₂, and K₂(O₃S)₂(CF₂)₅ have been prepared by reaction of (CF₂)_n(SO₂F)₂ (n = 1, 3–5) or CHF(SO₂F)₂ with CaO (or Ca(OH)₂) and M(OH)_x (M = Ba, x = 2; M = K, x = 1) or with Ba(OH)₂ alone (n = 1) in water. In each of the crystal structures of K₂(O₃S)₂CHF and K₂(O₃S)₂CF₂, there is an eight‐coordinate and a six‐coordinate potassium ion, whilst in K₂(O₃S)₂(CF₂)₃H₂O, two different eight‐coordinate potassium ions are linked by a bridging water molecule. One potassium has additionally six sulfonate oxygen and one fluorine donor atoms, and the other, five sulfonate oxygens and two fluorine donor atoms. The preparation of highly crystalline [Nien₃][(O₃S)(CF₂)_n] (en = ethane‐1,2‐diamine; n = 1, 3–5) and the X‐ray crystal structures for n = 1 or 3 provide evidence for the value of perfluoroalkanedisulfonate ions as counter ions for the crystallization of cationic complexes.

Here, the geometry of the dodecaborate anion is that of an almost ideal icosahedron, less distorted than most other dodecaborates known. By low‐temperature Guinier‐Simon diffractometry phase transitions were detected for [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] and [(CH₃)₄N]₂[B₁₂H₁₂] · CH₃CN at –70 and –15 °C, respectively.     

Complexation of the 2, 4, 6‐Triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine with Copper(I,II) Chlorides. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [CuCl2·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], [Cu7Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], and [Cu8Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3]·2C2H5OH

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. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 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.

The crystal structure (triclinic, P 1 (no. 2), a = 8.118(1), b = 9.624(1), c = 10.536(1) Å, α = 81.35(1)°, β = 88.51(1)°, γ = 75.77(1)°, Z = 1, R = 0.0332, wR² = 0.0981 for 4163 observed reflections (F ≥ 2σ(F ) out of 4595 unique reflections) consists of divalent [Cu₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(OH)₂]²⁺ complex cations, anionic (HCO₃)₂^2– dimers and H₂O molecules. The divalent complex cations (d(Cu…Cu) = 2.905(1) Å) are centered at inversion centers. The Cu atoms are fivefold square‐pyramidally coordinated by two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms from one bidentate chelating phen ligand, two bridging hydroxide groups and one axial water molecule (d(Cu–N)phen = 2.021(2), 2.024(2) Å; d(Cu–O)_OH = 1.941(1), 1.949(1) Å; d(Cu–O)_H2O = 2.254(2) Å). The divalent complex cations are stacked to form 2 D layers parallel (001) with 1 D π‐π stacking interactions along [100] via the terminal phen rings. The dimeric (HCO₃)₂^2– anions and the hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules are sandwiched between the 2 D layers.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Pentafluorethylkupfer(I)‐ und ‐(III)‐Verbindungen: Cu(C2F5) · D, [Cu(C2F5)2]– und (C2F5)2CuSC(S)N(C2H5)2

Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylcopper(I) and ‐copper(III) Compounds: CuC₂F₅ · D, [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–, and (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ The reactions of Cd(C₂F₅)₂ · D and Zn(C₂F₅)₂ · D (D = 2 CH₃CN, 2 DMF), respectively, with copper(I) halides in the presence of halides quantitatively yield the CuC₂F₅ compounds CuC₂F₅ · D and [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–. The CuC₂F₅ complexes are identified by NMR spectroscopy, while [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– is isolated as PNP salt (PNP = (C₆H₅)₃PNP(C₆H₅)₃⁺). Both compounds are excellent C₂F₅ group transfer reagents, even at low temperature. Oxidation of [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– with [(C₂H₅)₂NC(S)S]₂ yields the crystalline Cu(III) compound (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ (monoclinic, C2/c).
