Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Cs5Nb2S4X9 – Double Salts Containing New Cluster Anions [Nb2(μ-S2)2X8]4– (X = Cl,Br)

Bis(disulfide)bridged Nb(+4) cluster halide complexes [Nb₂S₄X₈]^4– (X = Cl, Br) were prepared by acid hydrolysis of [Nb₂S₄(NCS)₈]^4– in concentrated aqueous HCl or HBr, solution from which they can be isolated as double salts Cs₅[Nb₂S₄X₈]X (X = Cl, 1 ; X = Br, 2 ). The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined. The isolation and X-ray structure of oxonium salt (H₃O)₅ [Nb₂S₄Cl₈]Cl ( 3 ) is also reported. 1 – 3 contain new [Nb₂S₄X₈]^4– anions which can also be viewed as excised building blocks of polymeric solids NbS₂X₂. The extra halogen resides in the center of octahedron formed by six Cs⁺ or H₃O⁺ ions. All the three salts are isostructural and crystallize in tetragonal space group Immm with the following parameters: a = 10.269(2), b = 16.343(2), c = 7.220(1) Å for 1 , a = 10.934(1), b = 16.613(2), c = 7.470(1) Å for 2 , a = 9.639(1), b = 16.031(1), c = 7.071(1) Å for 3 . The parameters of the Nb₂S₄ core are only slightly affected by the change from Cl to Br.     

Über Thallium(I)-chlorooxomolybdate: Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von Tl[MoOCl4(NCCH3)], Tl[Mo2O2Cl7] und Tl2[Mo4O4Cl14] und die Struktur von Tl2[MoCl6]

On Thallium(I)-oxochloromolybdates: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Tl[MoOCl₄(NCCH₃)], Tl[Mo₂O₂Cl₇], and Tl₂[Mo₄O₄Cl₁₄] and the Structure of Tl₂[MoCl₆] Black crystals of Tl₂[MoCl₆] are formed in the reaction of TlCl with MoOCl₃ in a sealed evacuated glass ampoule at 350 °C. The crystal structure analysis shows that Tl₂[MoCl₆] (cubic, Fm 3¯m, a = 986.35(7) pm) adopts the K₂[PtCl₆] structure with a Mo–Cl bond length of 236.6 pm. Tl[MoOCl₄(NCCH₃)] was obtained by the reaction of TlCl with MoOCl₃ in acetonitrile in form of yellow, moisture sensitive crystals. The structure (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 746.0(1), b = 1463.8(3), c = 857.3(2) pm) is built of Tl⁺ cations and octahedral [MoOCl₄(NCCH₃)]^– anions in which the acetonitrile ligand is bound in trans position to the oxygen. The reaction of TlCl and MoOCl₃ in dichloromethane yields Tl[Mo₂O₂Cl₇] and Tl₂[Mo₄O₄Cl₁₄] as green moisture sensitive crystals. The structure of Tl[Mo₂O₂Cl₇] (orthorhombic, Pmmn, a = 694.3(1), b = 951.9(2), c = 904.7(1) pm) consists of Tl⁺ cations and dinuclear [Mo₂O₂Cl₇]^– anions, with two equidistant chlorine bridges of 248.2 and one longer chlorine bridge of 265.7 pm. The oxygen atoms are located in the trans positions of the longer chloro bridge. The structure of Tl₂[Mo₄O₄Cl₁₄] (triclinic, P1¯, a = 692.8(1), b = 919.6(1), c = 998.9(1) pm, α = 104.94(1)°, β = 90.31(1)°, γ = 108.14(1)°) is build of Tl⁺ cations and [Mo₄O₄Cl₁₄]^2– anions which form tetramers of distorted octahedral, edgesharing (MoOCl₅) units with chlorine atoms in the bridging positions. The oxygen atoms are located in the trans positions of the longest chlorine bridges.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung von Di(halogeno)phthalocyaninato(1–)rhodium(III), [RhX2Pc1−] (X = Cl,Br, I)

Synthesis and Spectroscopical Characterization of Di(halo)phthalocyaninato(1–)rhodium(III), [RhX₂Pc^1?] (X = Cl, Br, I) Bronze-coloured di(halo)phthalocyaninato(1–)-rhodium(III), [RhX₂Pc^1?] (X = Cl, Br) and [RhI₂Pc^1?] · I₂ is prepared by oxidation of (ⁿBu₄N)[RhX₂Pc^2?] with the corresponding halogene. Irrespective of the halo ligands, two irreversible electrode reactions due to the first ringreduction (E_R = ?0,90 V) and ringoxidation (E_O = 0,82 V) are present in the cyclovoltammogram of (ⁿBu₄N)[RhX₂Pc^2?]. The optical spectra show typical absorptions of the Pc^1?-ligand at 14.0 kK and 19.1 kK. Characteristic vibrational bands are at 1 366/1 449 cm^?1 (i. r.) and 569/1 132/1 180/1 600 cm^?1 (resonance Raman (r. r.)). The antisym. (Rh? X)-stretching vibration is observed at 294 cm^?1 (X = Cl), 240 cm^?4 (Br) and 200 cm^?1 (I). Only the sym. (Rh? I)-stretching vibration at 133 cm^?1 is r. r. enhanced together with a strong line at 170 cm^?1, which is assigned to the (I? I)-stretching vibration of the incorporated iodine molecule. Both modes show overtones and combinationbands.     

Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Properties of Two Cobalt(II) Dicyanamide (dca) Complexes with Heterocyclic Nitrogen Donors Tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) and 2,4,6‐Tri(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine (tptz): [Co2(tppz)(dca)4]·CH3CN and [Co(tptz)(dca)(H2O)](dca)

Two new transition metal dicyanamide complexes [Co₂(tppz)(dca)₄]·CH₃CN ( 1 ) [tppz=tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine, dca=dicyanamide] and [Co(tptz)(dca)(H₂O)](dca) ( 2 ) [tptz=2,4,6‐tri(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine] were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In 1 each cobalt(II) atom is coordinated to three dca anions and one tppz molecule to form a distorted octahedral geometry, the neigbour two cobalt(II) atoms are bridged by one tppz ligand to form a dimer, then the cobalt(II) atoms in each dimer are joined together to form a ladder chain structure. In 2 the coordination geometry around the central metal is also distorted octahedral, each cobalt(II) atom is coordinated by two dca anions, one tptz molecule and one water ligand to form a cationic part, and the cationic part is linked with the free dca anions via the electrostatic attraction to give an infinite chain structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement in the range of 2–300 K indicates that there are antiferromagnetic couplings between adjacent metal ions in 1 (T>29 K, (=?9.78 K, C=4.92 cm³·K·mol^?1) and ferromagnetic couplings in 2 (T>150 K, (=7.97 K, C=2.59 cm³·K·mol^?1) respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of di‐n‐butyltin(IV) complexes with 4′/2′‐nitrobiphenyl‐2‐carboxylic acids: X‐ray crystal structures of [{(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OCOC12H8NO2−4′)}2O]2 and (n‐C4H9)2Sn{OCOC12H8NO2−4′}2

Reactions of di‐n‐butyltin(IV) oxide with 4′/2′‐nitrobiphenyl‐2‐carboxylic acids in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 stoichiometry yield complexes [{(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′/2′)}₂O]₂ ( 1 and 2 ) and (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′/2′)₂ ( 3 and 4 ) respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. The IR spectra of these compounds indicate the presence of anisobidentate carboxylate groups and non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. From the chemical shifts δ (¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination number of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere have been suggested. [{(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′)}₂O]₂ ( 1 ) exhibits a dimeric structure containing distannoxane units with two types of tin atom with essentially identical geometry. To a first approximation, the tin atoms appear to be pentacoordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. However, each type of tin atom is further subjected to a sixth weaker interaction and may be described as having a capped trigonal bipyramidal structure. The diffraction study of the complex (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OCOC₁₂H₈NO₂?4′)₂ ( 3 ) shows a six–coordinate tin in a distorted octahedral frame containing bidentate asymmetric chelating carboxylate groups, with the n‐Bu groups trans to each other. The n‐Bu? Sn? n‐Bu angle is 152.8° and the Sn? O distances are 2.108(4) and 2.493(5) Å. The oxygen atom of the nitro group of the ligand does not participate in bonding to the tin atom in 1 and 3 . Crystals of 1 are triclinic with space group P1 and of that of 3 have orthorhombic space group Pnna. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

[1,2‐P2S8]2− – a New Member of the Thiophosphate Family: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Vibrational Spectrum of [NH4(2.2.2‐cryptand)]2[1,2‐P2S8] and [NH4(18‐crown‐6)]2[1,2‐P2S8]·H2O

Colourless block‐shaped crystals of [(NH₄)₂(2.2.2‐cryptand)₂][P₂S₈] ( 1 ) and [(NH₄)₂(18‐crown‐6)₂][P₂S₈]·H₂O ( 2 ) could be obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of ammonium hexathiohypodiphosphate, (NH₄)₄P₂S₆·2 H₂O, with sulfur and 2.2.2‐cryptand or 18‐crown‐6. The crystal structures of both compounds have been determined by single‐crystal X‐Ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 2032.7(2), b = 1243.6(2), c = 2244.6(2) pm, β = 98.64(1)°, and Z = 8, whereas compound 2 crystallizes also monoclinic in the space group P2₁/c with a = 2121.3(2), b = 865.5(1), c = 2345.4(2) pm, β = 91.96(1)°, and Z = 4. It could be established that the title compounds contain a new type of six‐membered [1,2‐P₂S₄] ring with P – P bond and three S – S linkages. The tetrahedral environment of each phosphorus is completed by a (formally) single and double bonded sulfur atom attached externally to the [1,2‐P₂S₄] ring. These terminal PS₂ units are mesomerically stabilized according to their P – S distances. FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra of the title compounds are recorded and interpreted.
