Vibrational Spectra of the Cluster Compounds (M₆X₁₂ⁱ) · 8H₂O, M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I IR and, for the first time, Raman spectra at 80 K of the cluster compounds (M₆X)X · 8H₂O; M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I, have been recorded, characterized by typical frequencies of the (M₆X) unit, which are only slightly influenced by the terminal X^a ligands. The most intense line with the depolarisation ≈? 0.2 in all Raman spectra is caused by inphase movement of all atoms and assigned to the symmetric metal-metal vibration v₁, observed for the clusters (Nb₆Cl) at 233–234, for (Nb₆Br) at 186–187, for (Ta₆Cl) at 199–203, and for (Ta₆Br) at 176–179 cm^?1. The IR spectra exhibit in the same series intense bands at 233, 204, 207, and 179 cm^?1, assigned to the antisymmetric metal-metal vibration. The metal-metal frequencies are significantly higher than discussed before. The tantalum clusters show on excitation with the krypton line 647.1 nm in the region of a d–d transition at 645 nm a resonance Raman effect with series of overtones and combination bands. In case of (Ta₆Br) another polarisized band is observed at 229 cm^?1 and assigned to the Ta? Brⁱ vibration v₂. From the progressions of v₁ and v₂ anharmonicity constants of about ?3 cm^?1 are calculated indicating a strong distortion of the potential curves.

Assembly of Chiral Two- and Three-dimensional Copper(I) Pseudohalide Based Coordination Polymers with Asymmetrically Substituted Pyrazine and Pyrimidine Ligands

The coordination polymers [(CuCN)₂(μ-2 Mepyz)], [CuCN(μ-2 Mepyz)] and [CuCN(μ-4 Mepym)] ( 1 – 3 ) (2 Mepyz = 2-methylpyrazine; 4 Mepym = 4-methylpyrimidine) may be prepared by self-assembly in acetonitrile solution at 100 °C ( 1 , 3 ) or without solvent at 20 °C ( 2 ). All three contain [CuCN] chains that are bridged by the bidentate aromatic ligands into sheets in 1 and 3 D frameworks in 2 and 3 . Reaction of CuSCN with these heterocyclic diazines at 100 °C leads to formation of the lamellar coordination polymers [(CuSCN)(μ-2 Mepyz)] ( 4 ) and [CuSCN · (4 Mepym-κN1)] ( 5 ), which contain respectively [CuSCN] chains and trans-trans fused [CuSCN] sheets as substructures. The presence of an asymmetric substitution pattern in 2 Mepyz and 4 Mepym induces the adoption of a chiral structure by 2 and 5 (space groups P2₁2₁2₁ and P1).

The crystal structure of tris (ethylenediamine), cobalt(III) hexacyanoferrate(III)dihydrate,Co(C2H8N2)3[Fe(CN)6] · 2H2O

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from three dimensional x-ray data obtained by the multiple film method. The space group is P2_l/n and the cell dimensions are: a = 14.90, b = 16.84, c = 8.38 Å; β = 93.5° Z = 4. The structure is formed by discrete Co (en) and Fe(CN) ions, both of which have an octahedral configuration.

C dustances are 1.91 and 2.01 Å, respectively. The water molecules do not play an important role in the structure and all distances between oxygen and other atoms indicate the presence of very weak hydrogen bonds. The salts M (en)₃ Q(CN)₆ · H₂O, where M = Co and Cr and Q = Cr, Mn, Fe and Co, are all isomorphous.

Halogenaustausch an Re3-Clustern: Ein neuer Syntheseweg für binäre und ternäre Rhenium(III)-bromide. Kristallstrukturen von Cs2[Re3Br11] und Cs3[Re3Br3Cl9]

Halogen Exchange at Re₃-Clusters: A New Synthetic Route to Binary and Ternary Rhenium(III) Bromides. Crystal Structures of Cs₂[Re₃Br₁₁] and Cs₃[Re₃Br₃Cl₉] The substitution of “inner” ligands in transition metal clusters in aqueous HX solutions is hitherto unknown. For the first time the substitution of bridging and terminal chloride for bromide ions was observed at rhenium clusters, [Re₃(μ-Cl^i,b)₃(Cl)(Cl^i,t)_(3?x)(H₂O^i,t)_x]^(3?x)? (x = 0–3), via the reaction of “ReCl₃ · 2 H₂O” in hot hydrobromic acid solution under an inert gas atmosphere. This establishes a new synthetic route to ternary Re(III) bromides as well as to ReBr₃. However, ternary Re(IV) bromides, A₂ReBr₆ (A = Rb, Cs), are dominating in the presence of oxygen, rhenium(III) bromides are only by-products. Dark brown rods of Cs₂[Re₃Br₁₁] are obtained from argon saturated, hot hydrobromic acid solutions of “ReCl₃ · 2 H₂O” and CsBr. The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pnma (Nr. 62); a = 955.51(5); b = 1 610.29(10); c = 1 372.70(9); Z = 4; V_m = 318.0(2) cm³mol^?1; R = 0.084, R_w = 0.058) consists of defect clusters [Re₃BrBrBr□^i,t]^2? in which one in plane, terminal position is not occupied. The substitution of “inner” ligands has been observed in the case of chloride for bromide only, the Br^i,b and I^i,b ligands in ReBr₃ and ReI₃, respectively, are not substituted in hydrochloric acid even at temperatures as high as 100°C. Bordeaux red square pyramids of CsReBrCl₃ = Cs₃[Re₃(μ-Br^i,b)₃ClCl] are obtained from hot hydrochloric acid solutions of ReBr₃ · 2/3 H₂O upon evaporation. CsReBrCl₃ (orthorhombic, C2cm (Nr. 40); a = 1 419.0(1); b = 1 419.2(1); c = 1 080.30(8) pm; Z = 4; V_m = 327.6(3) cm³mol^?1; R = 0.033, R_w = 0.028) is isostructural to the corresponding chloride CsReCl₄.     

Dibrommethylsulfoniumsalze – Darstellung und Kristallstruktur [1]

Dibromomethylsulfoniumsalts — Preparation and Crystal Structure The salts CH₃SBrA^? (A^? = SbCl, AsF) were prepared by various routes and characterized by their Ramanspectra. CH₃SBrAsF crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 770,5(4) pm, b = 942,4(12) pm, c = 1329,3(14) pm, β = 100,28(6)°, Z = 4.

Cs4[Sc6C]Cl13 und Cs4[Pr6(C2)]I13 — zwei Beispiele für das fehlende Bindeglied bei der Verknüpfung der Baueinheiten [M6Z]XX

Cs₄[Sc₆C]Cl₁₃ and Cs₄[Pr₆(C₂)]I₁₃ — Two Examples for the Missing Link in the Connectivity of [M₆Z]X X Building Units Cs₄[Sc₆C]Cl₁₃ (tetragonal, I4₁/amd, a = 1 540.5(4), c = 1 017.9(7) pm, c/a = 0.661, Z = 4, R = 0.038, R_w = 0.026) and Cs₄[Pr₆(C₂)]I₁₃ (a = 1 804.9(3), c = 1 259.5(3) pm, c/a = 0.698, R = 0.106, R_w = 0.068) are obtained as green-black and blue-black single crystals with brass-like metallic lustre through metallothermic reduction of ScCl₃ and PrI₃, respectively, with cesium in the presence of carbon in sealed tantalum containers. The, overall, isotypic compounds contain isolated [Sc₆C] and [Pr₆(C₂)] clusters, respectively, that are surrounded by 18 halide (X) ligands (12 Xⁱ and 6 X^a; X = Cl or I). The connection is carried out via the motif [M₆Z]XXXX (M = Sc and Pr; Z = C and C₂, respectively) and is thereby the missing link of the motifs of connection for the composition A_x[M₆Z]X₁₃. Analogous interconnection of [TiO₆] octahedra is found in the anatase-type of structure of TiO₂.     

Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalysen der 92Mo-, 100Mo-, 35Cl- und 37Cl-Isotopomeren der Clusteranionen [(Mo6X)Y]2−; Xi = Cl,Br; Ya = F,Cl, Br,I

Vibrational Spectra and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ⁹²Mo, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ³⁵Cl, and ³⁷Cl Isotopomers of the Cluster Anions [(Mo₆X )Y ]^2?; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; Y^a = F, Cl, Br, I The tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salts of the octa-μ₃-halogeno-hexahalogeno-octahedro-hexamolybdate(2 –) anions [(Mo₆X)Y]^2?; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; Y^a = F, Cl, Br, I; have been synthesized using ⁹²Mo, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ³⁵Cl, and ³⁷Cl. The 10 K IR and Raman spectra reveal significant frequency shifts due to the isotopic labelling of the Mo₆ cage, the inner sphere halides X₈ⁱ or the outer sphere ligands Y, respectively. The normal coordinate analysis yields (Mo? Mo) valence force constants of about 1.3 to 1.5 mdyn/Å. For the μ₃-bonded halogenes Clⁱ and Brⁱ valence force constants of 1.1 resp. 1.0 mdyn/Å are calculated. The values for (Mo? Y^a) bonds are found in the usual halide range. The observed isotopic shifts are verified very well by the calculations, allowing detailed assignment of the IR and Raman spectra of these compounds for the first time.     

Low Valence States of Metal Chelates. V. Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) and bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) perchlorates

D. C. polarography and cyclic voltammetry were used for investigating the reduction processes of the tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) and bis(2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline)-cobalt(II) perchlorates in 0.1 M solutions of tetraethylammonium perchlorate in acetonitrile. The first complex gave a four-step reduction wave; the first two steps were found to be diffusion controlled and reversible reductions from Co(phen)⁺ to Co(phen)₃⁺ to Co(phen) to Co(phen;) occured. The second complex gave a six-step reduction wave; the first three steps were found to be diffusion controlled and were to be considered as successive reversible reductions from Co(2, 9dm-phen)⁺ to Co(2, 9dmphen), from Co(2, 9dmphen) to Co(2, 9dmphen)₂ and from Co(2, 9dmphen)₂ to Co(2, 9dmphen).     

High- und Low-Spin-Verhalten des Ni3+ -Ions in oktaedrischer Koordination. (A) NiF-Polyeder

High and Low Spin Behaviour of Ni³⁺?Ions in Octahedral Coordination The compounds Cs₂NaNiF₆, Cs₂KNiF₆, Rb₂KNiF₆, K₃NiF₆, and Na₃NiF₆ were investigated by ligand field and EPR spectroscopy between 298 and 4,2 K. These fluorides ? with the exception of the first one – crystallise in the cubic elpasolite lattice or in distorted modifications of this structure type and contain the Ni³⁺ ions in the low spin configuration te. This configuration is stabilised versus the high spin alternative te by an appreciable Jahn-Teller splitting of the ²E_g-state of about 7000 cm^?1. The NiF₆-octahedra are tetragonally elongated, the distortion being dynamical at 298 K. In case of the cubic compound Rb₂KNiF₆ a transition to a tetragonal structure with c/a > 1 as a consequence of a ferrodistortive Jahn-Teller ordering is observed at lower temperatures. It is calculated from the anisotropic g-parameters, that the first excited quartet level ⁴A_2g(⁴T_1g ? te) has an energy which is about 1000 cm^?1 higher than that of the ²A_1g(²E_g ? te) groundstate. Spin-orbit interactions between the energetically neighboured ²A_1g(²E_g) and ⁴A_2g, ⁴E_g(⁴T_1g) states lead to third order contributions to the g-factors, which are very sensitive with respect to the doublet-quartet separation. In the hexagonal compound Cs₂NaNiF₆ finally, in which half of the Ni³⁺ ions occupy octahedral sites connected by common corners as in the other fluorides, while the other half is located in octahedral sites with common faces, high and low spin Ni³⁺ ions are found side by side. Obviously the latter half of these Ni³⁺ ions is geometrically restricted with respect to a Jahn-Teller distortion and hence the high spin configuration energetically favoured.
