Beiträge zur Chemie der Elemente Niob und Tantal. 84 Die Niob- und Tantalkomplexe [Me6X] X · n H2O mit Me = Nb,Ta; Xi = Cl,Br; Xa = Cl,Br, J

On the chemistry of the elements niobium and tantalum. 84. The niobium and tantalum complexes [Me₆X]X · n H₂O with Me = Nb, Ta; X¹ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, J The known and unknown compounds mentioned in the title were prepared. In this group of compounds four different crystal structures (A, B, C, D) occur. Lattice constants are given of the six compounds with structure C which crystallize in the hexagonal system and are isotypic with Ba₂[Nb₆Cl₁₂]Cl₆. Regarding the IR-spectra and the thermal behaviour, possible principles of structure are discussed.     

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.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Elemente Niob und Tantal. 82. Das thermische Verhalten der Verbindungen (PyH)2[Me6X]X mit Me = Nb,Ta; X = Cl,Br und der Bri/Cla-Austausch im Kristallgitter

When the pyridinium salts (PyH)₂[Me₆Br]Cl (Me = Nb, Ta) are heated up to about 200°C an exothermic and irreversible transformation occurs. Thereby 6 Cl^a and 6 Brⁱ exchange their positions. The observations can be interpreted in a way that the halogen sphere – in total or in part – is turned by an angle of 60° in respect to the Me₆ octahedron.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und spektroskopische Eigenschaften der Clusteranionen [(Mo6Br)X]2− mit Xa = F,Cl, Br,I

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.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und Berechnung der statistischen Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6BrCl)F]2−, n = 0 – 8

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0 – 8 The complete system of the innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆BrCl)⁴⁺ is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound Br^a on tempering the solid [(Mo₆Cl)Br] at 500°C for 16 h. After conversion with conc. HCl into (H₃O)₂[(Mo₆BrCl)Cl] and precipitation of the outer Cl^a with AgBF₄ in ethanol, treatment with tetrabutylammonium(TBA)fluoride yields (TBA)₂ [(Mo₆BrCl)F], a mixture of 22 different species. According to the sets of chemical equivalent fluorine atoms in total 55 ¹⁹F nmr signals are expected, which are really observed in the high resolution 1D-¹⁹F-nmr spectrum. Using increments of chemical shifts, peak intensities and multiplet structures as well as the 2D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum the complete and unambiguous assignment of all resonances is achieved. From the measured integral intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined, revealing statistical formation of the geometrical isomers.

Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Vibrational Spectra of [(Mo₆X)Y]^2–; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; Y^a = NO₃, NO₂ By treatment of [(Mo₆X)Y]^2–; Xⁱ = Y^a = Cl, Br with AgNO₃ or AgNO₂ by strictly exclusion of oxygene in acetone the hexanitrato and hexanitrito cluster anions [(Mo₆X)Y]^2–, Y^a = NO₂, NO₃ are formed. X-ray structure determinations of (Ph₄As)₂[(Mo₆Cl)(NO₃)] · 2 Me₂CO ( 1 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 12.696(3), b = 21.526(1), c = 14.275(5) Å, β = 115.02(2)°, Z = 2), (n-Bu₄N)₂[(Mo₆Br)(NO₃)] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ ( 2 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 14.390(5), b = 11.216(5), c = 21.179(5)Å, β = 96.475(5)°, Z = 2) and (Ph₄P)₂[(Mo₆Cl)(NO₂)] (3) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 11.823(5), b = 13.415(5), c = 19.286(5) Å, β = 105.090(5)°, Z = 2) reveal the coordination of the ligands via O atoms with (Mo–O) bond lengths of 2.11–2.13 Å, and (MoON) angles of 122–131°. The vibrational spectra of the nitrato compounds show the typical innerligand vibrations ν_as(NO₂) (∼ 1500), ν_s(NO₂) (∼ 1270) and ν(NO) (∼ 980 cm^–1). The stretching vibrations ν(N=O) at 1460–1490 cm^–1 and ν(N–O) in the range of 950–1000 cm^–1 are characteristic for nitrito ligands coordinated via O atoms.

The via C coordinated cyano ligands of ( 1 ) reveal facial groups with (MoCN) angles of 168.0–171,5° and 174.1°–175.7°. In ( 2 ) the via N coordinated isothiocyanato groups at the apical positions show MoNC-angles of 164.4°, the equatorial angles are 172.7–173.5°. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the 10 K IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) cluster salts are assigned by normal coordinate analyses based on a modified valence force field.

Über α-Dioximin-Komplexe der übergangsmetalle. XXIII) Kobalt(III)-nyoximin-Komplexe mit aromatischen Aminen

30 new binary salts of the heretofore unknown type [Co(NioxH)₂(Amin)₂]X were obtained by air oxidation of an alcoholic aqueous solution of Co^II acetate in the presence of 1,2-cyclohexanedione dioxime (nioxime) and an aromatic amine (aniline, o-and p-ethylaniline and m-xylidine). From the brown solutions of the resulting; Co(NioxH)₂(amine)₂; acetates the desired salts were separated by means of double decomposition reactions using X ? Br^?, NO, ClO, HSO, Pikart, [Cr(NH₃)₂(NCS)₄]^?, 1/3[Cr(NCS)₆]^3? and [Co(NioxH)₂(NO₂)₂]^?; NioxH ? C₆H₉N₂O₂. From spectroscopical investigations in the UV and IR regions some structural problems are resolved and discussed.     

K2NaGaP2, Cs2NaGaP2, K2NaGaAs2, K2NaInP2 und K2NaInAs2, Verbindungen mit den SiS2-isosteren Polyanionen [MX4/2]3− (MGa,In; XP,As)

K₂NaGaP₂, Cs₂NaGaP₂, K₂NaGaAs₂, K₂NaInP₂ and K₂NaInAs₂, Compounds with the Polyanions [MX_4/2]^3? (M?Ga, In; X?P, As) isosteric with SiS₂ The title compounds are synthesized from stoichiometric mixtures of the elements or from Na, KP(KAs), Cs₄P₆ and MX (M?Ga, In; X?P, As) at 950K. They are isotypic and crystallize in the space group Ibam (No. 72) with Z=4. The anionic partial structure is characterized by infinite chains [MX_4/2]^3? which are isosteric to SiS₂. Vibrational spectra are measured and interpreted based on the symmetry D_4h-P(2/m 2/c)4₂/m of the isolated polymer chain [MX₂]^3?. A good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is obtained by using a force field of the tetrameric fragment [M₄X₁₀]^18? (three four-membered M₂X₂ rings).     

Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18 und [Er10(C2)2]Br18: zwei neue Beispiele für „reduzierte”︁ Halogenide der Lanthanide mit isolierten [M10(C2)2]-Clustern

Cs[Er₁₀(C₂)₂]I₁₈ and [Er₁₀(C₂)₂]Br₁₈: Two New Examples for Reduced Halides of the Lanthanides with Isolated [M₁₀(C₂)₂] Clusters Cs[Er₁₀(C₂)₂]I₁₈ is obtained from the reaction of ErI₃ with caesium and carbon in sealed tantalum containers at 700°C and [Er₁₀(C₂)₂]Br₁₈ through the metallothermic reduction of ErBr₃ with rubidium in the presence of carbon at 750°C in sealed niobium containers. The crystal structures {Cs[Er₁₀(C₂)₂]I₁₈: triclinic, P1 ; a = 1 105.2(8) pm, b = 1 112.0(7) pm; c = 1 122.9(8) pm; α = 66.91(3)°, β = 87.14(3)°; γ = 60.80(3)°; Z = 1; R = 0.049, R_w = 0.043; [Er₁₀(C₂)₂]Br₁₈: monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 971.8(6) pm, b = 1 623.4(9) pm, c = 1 163.8(6) pm, β = 104.00(6)°; Z = 2; R = 0.077, R_w = 0.057} contain isolated dimeric [Er₁₀(C₂)₂] clusters. Due to the inclusion of C₂ units, the octahedra are elongated in the direction of the pseudo C₄ axis. The connecting edges of the two octahedra are exceptionally short (316.7 pm and 314.8 pm respectively). The dimeric units are connected via X^i?a and X^a?i (X = Br, I) bridges according to [Er₁₀(C₂)₂XX]X. Cs⁺ is surrounded by a cuboctahedron of iodide ions in Cs[Er₁₀(C₂)₂]I₁₈.     

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.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und statistische Untersuchung zur Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6ICl)F]2−, n = 0–7, und Darstellung von (TBA)2[(Mo6I)F]

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆I Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0–7, and Preparation of (TBA)₂[(Mo₆I )F ] The octa-μ₃-iodo-hexafluoro-hexamolybdate(2?)ion [(Mo₆I)F]^2? is prepared for the first time. The system of the 21 innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆ICl)⁴⁺, n = 0–7 is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound I^a on tempering solid [(Mo₆Cl)I] at 400°C. Prolonged tempering leads to increasing average n values of the mixture, which is converted into the tetrabutylammonium salt (TBA)₂[(Mo₆ICl)F]. Using increments of chemical shifts and integral peak intensities the 54 ¹⁹F-nmr signals of the 21 species (compound n = 8 is absent) are assigned and confirmed by the 2 D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum. From the measured intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined and proves significant deviation from statistical occupation, revealing the preference of isomers with iodine atoms occupying edges of the innersphere cube and discrimination of those sharing diagonals of the faces. Moreover all compounds with n = 3 and 4 are present overaverage in comparison to the others.     

Endohedral fullerene-noble gas clusters formed with high-energy bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3)

Results are reported for high-energy beam experiments which establish the formation of endohedral carbon cluster-noble gas compounds by bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3) with He and C with Ne. The ions were accelerated up to 8 ke V in a four-sector mass spectrometer and allowed to collide with the noble gas in a collision chamber at room temperatur. Product ions were monitored with a B/E = constant linked scan. Within the sensivity of the experiments, no carbon cluster-gas compounds were observed in the reactions of C with H₂, D₂, O₂, Ar, and SF₆, or of C with O₂. The observed fall in the cross-section for carbon cluster-noble gas compounds with increasing size of the noble gas, the observation of unimolecular loss of C₂ from mass-selected C_xHe⁺ ions, and the elimination of carbon fragments instead of He observed in the formation of the collision-induced C_xHeⁿ⁺ product ions are taken as evidence for endohedral compound formation. Results of ab initio molecular-orbital calculations for the perpendicular penetration of the plane of ionized benzene with He, Ne, and Ar indicate that sufficient kinetic energy should be available in the collisions with C to penetrate the C cage at the collision energies of the experiments.     

NaAuIn2, ein ternäres Aurid mit ethananalogen In2Au6-Baueinheiten und [In2/2]-Ketten

NaAuIn₂, a Ternary Auride with Ethane Analogous In₂Au₆ Building Units and [In_2/2] Chains Silver coloured, brittle single crystals of NaAuIn₂ were synthesized by the reaction of NaN₃, gold-sponge and indium at 500°C. The structure was determined from X-ray single-crystal diffractometry data: space group Cmcm, Z = 4, a = 4.482(1) Å, b = 10.366(2) Å, c = 7.869(2) Å, R/R_w(w = 1) = 0.017/0.020, Z(F) ≥ 3σ(F) = 547 and N(var.) = 16. NaAuIn₂ crystallizes in the MgCuAl₂-structure type. Gold and indium form a framework structure. [AuIn_6/3] layers with trigonal prismatically coordinated gold are connected via In—In contacts along [010] which consist of ethane analogous In₂Au₆-building units. The In-partial structure consists of saw tooth like [In_2/2] chains along [001]. The sodium atoms occupy channel-like cavities within the Au—In framework structure.     

Neutral and Cationic Hexanuclear Rhenium Phosphine Clusters with μ3‐(Phosphido‐Chalcogenido), μ3‐(Arsenido‐Chalcogenido), and μ3‐(Imido or Oxo‐Chalcogenido) Hetero Ligand Shells

Reactions of dry THF/MeCN solutions of Ca[Re₆SCl(Cl^a)₆] with silylated derivatives E(SiMe₃)₂ (E = PhAs, PSiMe₃, HN, O, S) and addition of trialkylphosphine PPr₃ afford in high yields and at room temperature either the neutral clusters [Re₆SX(PPr₃)] ( 1 : X = As, 2 : X = P) or the ionic compounds [Re₆SX(PPr₃)]²⁺ · [Re₆S₆Cl₈]^2– ( 3 : X = NH, 4 : X = O, 5 : X = S). The compounds 1 – 5 were characterised by X‐ray crystal structure analysis. A di‐substitution reaction occurs on the {Re₆SCl}⁴⁺ cluster core, where the two inner μ₃‐chloro ligands Clⁱ are substituted by X (X = As, P, NH, O, S) and all six terminal chloro ligands Cl^a are exchanged by terminal PPr₃‐ligands.     

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.     

Preparation and Properties of Bis[μ-S-(2-tiolatoethyl)-diphenylphosphine][(2-thiolatoethyl)diphenyl-phosphine]dinickel(+1) Ion,a Novel Unsymmetrical Thiolate-bridged complex

The title cation ( = Ni₂L) is formed in a variety of reactions (Schemes 1 and 2) in systems containing Ni²⁺ and (2-thiolatoethyl)-diphenylphosphine (= L^?) in the absence of coordinating anions at Ni²⁺/L^? ratios > 0.5 in apolar or moderately polar media. Solid [Ni₂L₃]CIO₄ and [Ni₂L₃]BPh₄ have been isolated. Job's plots confirm the Ni₂L- stoichiometry in solution. ³¹P-NMR data are consistent with ≥ 97% Ni₂L (vs. ? 3% of hypothetical Ni₃L) at equilibrium and support the suggested configuration (Fig. 2). The equilibrium between NiL₂ + NiL₂Br₂ and Ni₂L + Br^? varies with the solvent composition in CH₂₃Cl₂/EtOH mixtures. The rate of formation of Ni₂L₂Br₂ from Ni₂L and bromide (in high excess) in CH₂Cl₂ is first-order in [Ni₂L]_tot but depends on the ratio [Bu₄NBr]_tot/[Ni₂L₃ · ClO₄]tot, even at a high excess of bromide. This is interpreted by efficient competition in ion-aggregate formation between the small perchlorate concentration introduced as the counterion of Ni₂L, and the large excess of bromide.

A B^IIB □M O₂₄ with A^II, B^II = Ba, Sr, Ca and M^VI = U, W Perovskites of type Ba₈B^IIB₂^III□UO₂₄ show polymorphic phase transformations of order disorder type. An 1:1 ordered orthorhombic HT form is transformed into a higher ordered LT modification with a fourfold cell content (four formula units Ba₈B^IIB□U₄O₂₄), compared to cubic 1:1 ordered perovskites A₂BMO₆. In the series Ba₈BaB□W₄O₂₄ and Sr₈SrB□W₄O₂₄ different ordering phenomena are observed. In comparison with 1:1 ordered cubic perovskites A₂BMO₆, the cell contains eight formula units AB^IIB□W₄O₂₄. The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.

The structure of Li[AuF₄] is related to the Rb[AuF₄]-type of structure.
