Ba[CoN]: Ein niedervalentes Nitridocobaltat mit gewinkelten Ketten [CoN2/22−]

Ba[CoN]: A Low-Valency Nitridocobaltate with Angled Chains [CoN_2/2^2?] Ba[CoN] is prepared by reaction of barium and cobalt (molar ratio Ba : Co = 1 : 2.5) in tantalum crucibles at 870°C with flowing nitrogen (1 atm) within a period of 96 h. After cooling down to room temperature (24°C/h) black single crystals of the ternary phase with a platy habit are obtained (orthorhombic, Pnma; a = 959.9(2) pm, b = 2 351.0(3) pm, c = 547.6(2) pm; Z = 20). The crystal structure of Ba[CoN] contains angled (planar) chains [CoN_2/2^2?] which run along the [010]-direction (N? Co? N[°]: 178.5(5), 179.6(6), 180.0; Co? N? Co[°]: 82.9(6), 84.2(5), 177.1(8); Co? N[pm]: 174.6(12), 177.2(12), 181.9(13), 184.3(13), 187.1(12)). Nitrogen is in an octahedral coordination (N Ba₄Co₂) and is arranged in a distorted cubic close packing. Barium occupies one half of the tetrahedral holes (Ba? N[pm]: 274.8(16) ? 308.2(12)). The cis-positions of the Co-atoms at the nitrogen coordination-octahedra cause short Co? Co contacts within the chains [CoN_2/2^2?]. Through this, Co₂-units (Co? Co[pm]: 247.8(4); bridged by nitrogen) and linear Co₃-groups (Co? Co [pm]: 245.5(2); Co? Co? Co[°]: 180.0; bridged by nitrogen) alternate along the chains. The crystal structure of Ba[CoN] is closely related to the Ba[NiN] type structure.

With the exception of Ba₄NiRe₂□O₁₂ the octahedral net consists of BO₆ single octahedra and M₂□O₁₂ face connected blocks (type 1). In type 2 (Ba₄NiRe₂□O₁₂) the M ions are located in the single octahedra and in the center of the groups of three face connected octahedra. The two outer positions of the latter are occupied by B ions and vacancies in the ratio 1:1. The difference between type 1 and 2 are discussed by means of the vibrational and diffuse reflectance spectra.

Sc, In belong to the group of hexagonal perovskite stacking polytypes. For B^III = Gd, Y structure determinations with powder data have been performed. The refined R′ factors are 9.11% for Ba₂Gd1/3□_2/3ReO₆ and 12.07% for Ba₂Y1/3□_2/3ReO₆. The structure represents a rhombohedral 12 L type (space group R3 m) with the sequence hhcchhcchhcc. The lattice contains groups of three octahedra connected by common faces which are linked together by a single octahedron via common vertices. In the block of three face-sharing octahedra the central octahedral lattice site is vacant and the two outer positions are occupied by the rhenium atoms. According to this distribution direct contact of occupied face-sharing octahedra is absent.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of the Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br )X ]^2? with X^a = F, Cl, Br, I The tetrabutylammonium (TBA), tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) and tetraphenylarsonium (TPAs) salts of the octa-μ₃-bromo-hexahalogeno-octahedro-hexamolybdate(2?) anions [(Mo₆Br)X]^2? (X^a = F, Cl, Br, I) are synthesized from solutions of the free acids H₂[(Mo₆Br)X] · 8 H₂O with X^a = Cl, Br, I. The crystal structures show systematic stretchings in the Mo? Mo bond length and a slight compression of the Brⁱ₈ cube in the F^a to I^a series. The cations do not change much. The i.r. and Raman spectra show at 10 K almost constant frequencies of the (Mo₆Brⁱ₈) cluster vibrations, whereas all modes with X^a ligand contribution are characteristically shifted. The most important bands are assigned by polarization measurements and the force constants are derived from normal coordinate analysis. The ⁹⁵Mo nmr signals are shifted to lower field with increasing electronegativity of the X^a ligands. The fluorine compound shows a sharp ¹⁹F nmr singlet at ?184.5 ppm.

Theoretical study of the gas‐phase SN2 reactions of X− with CH3OY (X,Y = Cl,Br, I)

The gas‐phase nucleophilic substitution reactions at saturated oxygen X^? + CH₃OY (X, Y = Cl, Br, I) have been investigated at the level of CCSD(T)/6‐311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6‐311+G(2df,p). The calculated results indicate that X^? preferably attacks oxygen atom of CH₃OY via a S_N2 pathway. The central barriers and overall barriers are respectively in good agreement with both the predictions of Marcus equation and its modification, respectively. Central barrier heights (ΔH and ΔH) correlate well with the charges (Q) of the leaving groups (Y), Wiberg bond orders (BO) and the elongation of the bonds (O? Y and O? X) in the transition structures. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007

The compounds are isotypic and isoelectronic with Ba₄SiAs₄ (space group P4 3n (no. 218); cP72; Z = 8; Sr₄TiP₄: a = 1259.0(1) pm; Sr₄TiAs₄: a = 1288.3(4) pm; Ba₄TiP₄: a = 1316.6(2) pm; Ba₄TiAs₄: a = 1346.9(2) pm). The transition metal compounds form cubic, metallic reflecting crystals (Sr₄TiP₄ (green); Sr₄TiAs₄ (silver coloured); Ba₄TiP₄ (silver coloured); Ba₄TiAs₄ (violet). They are semiconducting and very sensitive against air and moisture. The structure is a hierarchical derivative of Cr₃Si (A15) and KGe type: Cr₆Si₂ ? (□Ge₄K₄)₆(□Ge₄K₄)₂ ? (TiX₄M₄)₆(TiX₄M₄)₂, where Ti occupies the positions of the Cr₃Si structure, and the alkaline-earth metal and pnicogen atoms occupy the positions of the KGe structure.

Schwingungsspektren der Clusterverbindungen (M6X)X · 8 H2O,M = Nb,Ta; Xi = CI,Br; Xa = CI,Br, I

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.

The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.

The Zintl-phases M₃X₁₁ (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs; X = P, As) are prepared from the elements or from M₃X₇ and X. The compounds undergo a first-order phase transition from the crystalline to the plastically crystalline state. Unit cell and space group of both modifications and the transition temperature T_c are determined. The vibrational spectra of the crystalline compounds and the Raman spectrum of the P₁₁^3? anion in en-solution as well are measured. The assignment of the frequencies is given, based on the 32-D₃ symmetry of the X₁₁^3? cage anion. Normal coordinate analysis is carried out in terms of Cartesian coordinates to avoid the problem of redundancies in using internal coordinates. The force constants [mdyn Å^?1] obtained for the characteristic bonds r, s, and t are: f = 1.34, f = 1.20, f = 1.08; f = 1.1, f = 0.91.
