IV Dodecahedral [Mo(CN)₈] Coordination of the Cyano‐Bridged Cobalt and Nickel Ammin Complexes M^II₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (M^II = Co, Ni) and Ni₂(NH₃)₉[Mo(CN)₈] · 2 H₂O At single crystals of the hydrated cyano complexes Co₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (a = 910.0(4), b = 1671(2), c = 1501(1) pm, β = 93.76(6)°) and Ni₂(NH₃)₈[Mo(CN)₈] · 1.5 H₂O (a = 899.9(9), b = 1654.7(4), c = 1488(1) pm, β = 94.01°), isostructurally crystallizing in space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, and of trigonal Ni₂(NH₃)₉[Mo(CN)₈] · 2 H₂O (a = 955.1(1), c = 2326.7(7) pm, P3₁, Z = 3), X‐ray structure determinations were performed at 168 resp. 153 K. The [Mo(CN)₈]^4– groups of the three compounds, prepared at about 275 K and easily decomposing, show but slightly distorted dodecahedral coordination (mean distances Mo–C: 216.3, 215.4 and 216.1 pm). Within the monoclinic complexes the anions twodimensionally form cyano bridges to the ammin cations [M(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and are connected with the resulting [MN₆] octahedra (Co–N: 215.1 pm, Ni–N: 209.8 pm) into strongly puckered layers.

Chromhexacyano‐Komplexe: Die Kristallstrukturen der Cyanoelpasolithe (NMe4)2ACr(CN)6 (A = K,Cs) und der kubischen Bariumverbindung Ba3[Cr(CN)6]2 · 20 H2O

Chromium Hexacyano Complexes: The Crystal Structures of the Cyano Elpasolites (NMe₄)₂ACr(CN)₆ (A = K, Cs) and of the Cubic Barium Compound Ba₃[Cr(CN)₆]₂ · 20 H₂O The crystal structures of the cyano elpasolites (NMe₄)₂KCr(CN)₆ (a = 1527.3(1), b = 888.1(1), c = 1539.0(1) pm, β = 109.92(1)°; C2/c, Z = 4) and (NMe₄)₂CsCr(CN)₆ (a = 1278.9(1) pm; Fm3m, Z = 4), as well as of the cubic compound Ba₃[Cr(CN)₆]₂ · 20 H₂O (a = 1631.0(1) pm; Im3m, Z = 4) were determined by X‐ray methods with single crystals. Reasons for the enlarged distances within the [Cr(CN)₆]^3–‐octahedron of the K compound (Cr–C: 209.3 pm) compared to the observations within both cubic complexes (206.1 resp. 206.9 pm) are discussed in context with the tolerance factors of cyano elpasolites. As is the case there concerning the cyano bridges Cr–CN–A towards the alkali ions the novel structure type of the barium compound, too, exhibits nearly linear bridging towards Ba. It contributes, however, only four N ligands to the ninefold [BaN₄O₅] coordination; part of the aqua ligands show disorder (Ba–N: 287.5, Ba–O: 281/293 pm).

Its oxidation with chlorine yields PPh₄[AsCl₆]. This was also obtained directly from arsenic, chlorine and PPh₄Cl, (PPh₄)₂[As₄O₂Cl₁₀] · 2 CH₃CN being a side product; the latter was obtained with high yield from AsCl₃, As₂O₃ and PPh₄Cl in acetonitrile. By addition of PPh₄Cl it was converted to (PPh₄)₂[As₂OCl₆] · 3 CH₃CN. According to their X-ray crystal structure analyses, both crystallize in the triclinic space group P 1. The [As₄O₂Cl₁₀]^2– ion can be regarded as a centrosymmetric association product of two Cl₂AsOAsCl₂ molecules and two Cl^– ions, each Cl^– ion being coordinated with all four As atoms. In the [As₂OCl₆]^2– ion the As atoms are linked via the O atom and two Cl atoms.

The results, including data from the literature, were studied with respect to the interdependence of radii resp. bond lengths and cyano bridge angles M–CN–B resp. tilting of [M(CN)₆] and [BN₆] octahedra: The average tilt angles κ of the latter are within the range 13° ≤ κ ≤ 23° and increase linearly if the modified tolerance factor t (of range 0,87 ≥ t ≥ 0,78) decreases.

Concerning the shape and location of the M(py)₄ fragments 1 and 2 are isostructural. The metal atoms occupy special positions in their unit cells with the result that four complex atoms have C₂ symmetry and four complex cations have C_i symmetry giving a total of Z = 8. In 1 two F^– ions complete an octahedral coordination around the Co atoms (Co–F 1.820(2) to 1.834(3) Å). In 2 the shortest Pd–F distance is 3.031(2) Å. This precludes the existence of Pd–F bonds. In 1 one can identify H₂F₃^– groups. In 2 there are larger aggregates, consisting of F^–, HF, and H₂O subunits, connected by H‐bridges. In spite of these differences, both complexes belong to the same type of structure, which may be of a common type M^x+(py)₄F_x · y HF · z H₂O.

Synthesis and Structure of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂ReN]₂ReCl₄, [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂ReN]₂ReCl₄ · 2 SbCl₃ and [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][SbCl₆] The reaction of ReNCl₂(PMePh)₃ with SbCl₅ in toluene yields the trinuclear complex [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N]₂ReCl₄ · 2 SbCl₃ ( 1 · 2 SbCl₃). It forms triclinic crystals with the composition 1 · 2 SbCl₃, as well as monoclinic crystals 1 · 2 SbCl₃ · 4 C₇H₈. The monoclinic crystals with the space group P2₁/c, and a = 1212.3(2), b = 2098.5(4), c = 1827.7(3) pm, β = 95.51(1)°, Z = 2, have been used for a crystal structure determination. In the centrosymmetric complex 1 two complexes ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ coordinate with their nitrido ligands a square planar, central unit ReCl₄. The SbCl₃ molecules are coordinated by chlorine bridges to Cl atoms of 1 , and, in addition, connect the complexes 1 with each other. The SbCl₃ free compound 1 is obtained in good yield by the reaction of ReNCl₂(PMePh)₃ with ReCl₄(NCEt)₂. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 1037.7(3), b = 1153.0(2), c = 1393.8(3) pm, α = 72.31(2)°, β = 74.06(2)°, γ = 67.94(2)°, and Z = 1. The bond lengths of the Re–N triple bonds are 172 pm in 1 and 170 pm in 1 · 2 SbCl₃. By the reaction of ReNCl₂(PMePh)₃ with SbCl₅ in CH₂Cl₂ the solvent is decomposed forming HCl which protonates the nitrido ligand to afford the imido complex [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][SbCl₆] ( 2 ) crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1221.4(2), b = 1358.6(2), c = 2177.3(1) pm, β = 92,72(1)° and Z = 4. The Re–N distance in the almost linear unit Re≡N–H is 169,1 pm.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen der Thiochloroantimonate(III) PPh4[Sb2SCl5] und (PPh4)2[Sb2SCl6] · CH3CN

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Thiochloroantimonates(III) PPh₄[Sb₂SCl₅] and (PPh₄)₂[Sb₂SCl₆]. CH₃CN (PPh₄)₂Sb₃Cl₁₁, obtained from Sb₂S₃, PPh₄Cl and HCl, reacts with Na₂S₄ in acetonitrile forming PPh₄[Sb₂SCl₅]. From this and Na₂S₄ or from (PPh₄)₂[Sb₂Cl₈] and Na₂S₄ or K₂S₅ in acetonitrile (PPh₄)₂[Sb₂SCl₆] · CH₃CN is obtained. Data obtained from the X-ray crystal structure determinations are: PPh₄[Sb₂SCl₅], monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 1002.9(3), b = 1705.6(5), c = 1653.7(5) pm, β = 99.12(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.068 for 1283 reflextions; (PPh₄)₂[Sb₂SCl₆] · CH₃CN, triclinic, space group P1 , a = 1287.8(7), b = 1343.6(9), c = 1696.5(9) pm, α = 69.82(5), β = 85.08(4), γ = 71.54(6)°, Z = 2, R = 0.059 for 6409 reflexions. In every anion two Sb atoms are linked via one sulfur and one ore two chloro atoms, respectively. Paris of [SbSCl₅]^? ions are associated via Sb …? S and Sb …? Cl contacts forming dimer units. In both compounds every Sb atom has a distorted octahedral coordination when the lone electron pair is included in the counting.
