Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of CF₃C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH₃)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ ( 1 ) and 4‐NO₂‐C₆H₄N(H)P(O)[4‐CH₃‐NC₅H₉]₂ ( 6 ) were confirmed by X‐ray single crystal determination. Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.     

Zur Umsetzung von Kupfer(I)‐ und Kupfer(II)‐Salzen mit P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 ‐ die Festkörperstrukturen von {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuOClO3}ClO4, {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]Cu}ClO4, [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuONO2 und [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)2(C6H4CH2NMe2H+NO3‐‐2)]CuONO2

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.

N‐sulfinylacylamides R‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with (CF₃)₂BNMe₂ ( 1 ) to form, by [2+4] cycloaddition, six‐membered rings cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(R)‐O for R = Me ( 2 ), t‐Bu ( 3 ), C₆H₅ ( 4 ), and p‐CH₃C₆H₄ ( 5 ) while N‐sulfinylcarbamic acid esters R‐O‐C(=O)‐N=S=O react with 1 to yield mixtures of six‐membered (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N=C(OR)‐O) and four‐membered rings (cyclo‐(CF₃)₂B‐NMe₂‐S(=O)‐N(C=O)OR) for R = Me ( 6 and 9 ), Et ( 7 and 10 ), and C₆H₅ ( 8 and 11 ). The structure of 5 has been determined by X‐ray diffraction.

Water Soluble Gold(I)‐diacetyl‐1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane‐arylazoimidazole Complexes: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Study

Reaction of [Au(DAPTA)(Cl)] with RaaiR’ in CH2Cl2 medium following ligand addition leads to [Au(DAPTA)(RaaiR’)](Cl) [DAPTA＝diacetyl-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane, RaaiR’＝p-R-C6H4-N＝N- C3H2-NN-1-R’, (1—3), abbreviated as N,N’-chelator, where N(imidazole) and N(azo) represent N and N’, respectively; R＝H (a), Me (b), Cl (c) and R’＝Me (1), CH2CH3 (2), CH2Ph (3)]. The 1H NMR spectral measurements in D2O suggest methylene, CH2, in RaaiEt gives a complex AB type multiplet while in RaaiCH2Ph it shows AB type quartets. 13C NMR spectrum in D2O suggest the molecular skeleton. The 1H-1H COSY spectrum in D2O as well as contour peaks in the 1H-13C HMQC spectrum in D2O assign the solution structure.     

Two Glutarato Bridged Coordination Polymers: ${_{\infty}^1}${[Mn(phen)]2L4/2} and ${_{\infty}^1}${[Zn(phen)(H2O)]L2/2}·H2O with H2L = Glutaric Acid

Two new glutarato bridged coordination polymers {[Mn(phen)]₂(C₅H₆O₄)_4/2} ( 1 ) and {[Zn(phen)(H₂O)](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2}· H₂O ( 2 ) were structurally characterized on the basis of single crystal X‐ray diffraction data. Crystal data: ( 1 ) P2/c (no. 13), a = 10.340(2)Å, b = 10.525(2)Å, c = 13.891(2)Å, β = 98.31(1)°, U = 1495.9(5)ų, Z = 2; ( 2 ) P2₁/n (no. 14), a = 6.738(1)Å, b = 25.636(3)Å, c = 10.374(1)Å, β = 106.13(1)°, U = 1721.4(4)ų, Z = 4. Complex 1 consists of 1D ribbon‐like {[Mn(phen)]₂(C₅H₆O₄)_4/2} chains, in which the [Mn(phen)] units were interlinked by glutarato ligands to generate 8‐ and 16‐membered rings. The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms of three glutarato ligands with d(Mn‐N) = 2.270, 2.276Å, d(Mn‐O) = 2.114—2.283Å. Through the interchain π‐π stacking interactions, the 1D chains are assembled into 2D puckered layers, which are further held together by interlayer π‐π stacking interactions into a 3D network. Complex 2 is built up by 1D {[Zn(phen)(H₂O)](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} linear chains and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The Zn atoms are coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and three O atoms of one H₂O molecule and two glutarato ligands to form slightly elongated trigonal bipyramids with the water O atom and one phen N atom at the apical positions (d(Zn‐N) = 2.101, 2.168Å, d(Zn‐O) = 1.991—2.170Å). The 1D linear chains result from [Zn(phen)(H₂O)] units bridged by bis‐monodentate glutarato ligands. The resulting 1D chains are assembled by π‐π stacking interactions into 2D layers, between which the hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules are situated.     

{Na2[μ2-(C6H4O2)2](C6H4OOH)2}4-的结构及其在固态合溶液中的NMR比较

The new compound （NH3CH2CH2NH3）2{Na2[μ2-（C6H4O2）2]（C6H4OOH）2} has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The yellow crystals crystallized in the triclinic system with space group P-1 and a=0.6091（2） nm, b= 1.0274（3） nm, c= 1.2466（4） nm, α=89.073（6）°, β=89.376（6）°, γ=78.873（5）°, V=0.7653（4） nm^3, Z= 1, R1=0.0568, wR2=0.1198. Every sodium ion coordinates in trigonal prismatic fashion with two O atoms from a terminal chelating catecholato ligand and four O atoms from bridging P2 catecholato ligands, Two neighboring NaO6 trigonal prisms are face-shared and centrosymmetric with regard to the inversion center consisting of four tri-bridging O atoms to form a binuclear cluster {Na2[μ2-（C6H4O2）2]}^2- anion. The comparison of ^13C NMR spectrum of tlie complex in solid state with that in solution indicated that the rapid exchange between the bridging [μ2-（C6H4O2]^2- and terminal [C6H4OOH]^- ligands was present in solution.     

含硫有机膦多酸衍生物α–[RP(S)]2PW9O345-(R = –C6H5, –C6H11)的合成及结构表征

In the presence of Bu4NBr acting as phasetransfer reagent, organothiophosphoryl polyoxotungstate derivatives α-[RP(S)]2PW9O54^5- (R=C6Hs, C6H11) have been obtained by reaction of the trivacant β-[PW9O34]^9- anions with electrophilic C6H5P(S)Cl2 or C6H11P(S)Cl2 in acetonitrile. These new organic-inorganic hybrid anions have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ^31P and ^183W NMR spectroscopy. The collective application of the spectroscopy data of these new species indicates that the hybrid anion consists of an α-[PW9O34] framework on which are grafted two RP(S) groups through P-O-W bridges. The five-line ^183W spectra indicate that the hybrid anions possess Cs symmetry in acetonitrile.     

Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Bis(chelate) Complexes Containing both Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3, and Dichalcogenolato Ligands

Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane, P(C₇H₇)₃ ([P] when coordinated to a metal atom), was used to stabilize complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II) with chelating dichalcogenolato ligands as [P]M(E∩E) [E = S, ∩ = CH₂CH₂, M = Pt ( 3a ); E = S, ∩ = 1, 2‐C₆H₄, M = Pt ( 5a ), Pd ( 6a ); E = S, ∩ = C(O)C(O), M = Pt ( 7a ), Pd ( 8a ); E = S, Se, ∩ = 1, 2‐C₂(B₁₀H₁₀), M = Pt ( 9a, 9b ), Pd ( 10a, 10b ); E = S, ∩ = Fe₂(CO)₆, M = Pt ( 11a ), Pd ( 12a )]. Starting materials in all reactions were [P]MCl₂ with M = Pt ( 1 ) and Pd ( 2 ). Attempts at the synthesis of [P]M(ER)₂ with non‐chelating chalcogenolato ligands were not successful. All new complexes were characterized by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solution (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR), and the molecular structures of 5a and 12a were determined by X‐ray analysis. Both in the solid state and in solution the ligand [P] is linked to the metal atom by the P‐M bond and by η²‐C=C coordination of the central C=C bond of one of the C₇H₇ rings. In solution, intramolecular exchange between coordinated and non‐coordinated C₇H₇ rings is observed, the exchange process being markedly faster in the case of M = Pd than for M = Pt.     

Synthese monomerer Silber(I)‐Halogenid‐Komplexe mit T‐förmigem Bau – Kristallstrukturanalyse von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgBr

Synthesis of Monomeric T‐Shaped Silver(I) Halide Complexes – Crystal Structure Analysis of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgBr Treatment of the tetrapodal phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) with equimolar amounts of the silver(I) halides AgX ( 2 a : X = Cl, 2 b : X = Br) produces in tetrahydrofuran at 25 °C the monomeric silver(I) complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX with planar coordination at the Ag atoms ( 3 a : X = Cl, 3 b : X = Br) in excellent yields. From complex 3 b a single X‐ray crystal structure analysis was carried out. Mononuclear 3 b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 14.504(6), b = 11.034(3), c = 17.604(5) Å, β = 102.86(4)°; V = 2746.6(16) ų; Z = 4; 2953 observed unique reflections, R₁ = 0.0805. Complex 3 b consists of monomeric sub‐units with a planar T‐shaped arrangement formed by the atoms Ag1, N1, P1 as well as Br1, whereby the P1–Ag1–Br1 array is almost linear orientated.     

Synthesis and characterization of dimeric organotin compounds {[(ArCH2)2 Sn(2‐quin)]2O}2 and crystal structure of {[(2‐ClC6 H4CH2)2Sn(2‐quin)]2O}2

Ten new dimeric organotin compounds {[(ArCH₂)₂ Sn(2‐quin)]₂O}₂ (Ar = Ph 1 , 2‐ClC₆H₄ 2 , 3‐ClC₆H₄ 3 , 4‐ClC₆H₄ 4 , 2‐FC₆H₄ 5 , 3‐FC₆H₄ 6 , 4‐FC₆H₄ 7 , 4‐BrC₆H₄ 8 , 4‐CNC₆H₄ 9 , 2,4‐Cl₂C₆H₃ 10 ) have been synthesized by dealkylation reactions of 2‐quinH with [(ArCH₂)₃Sn]₂O, and their structures have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹}H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopies. The structures of {[(2‐ClC₆H₄CH₂)₂Sn(2‐quin)]₂O}₂ 2 have been determined by X‐ray diffraction. Studies show that compound 2 has a tetranuclear, centrosymmetric dimeric structure, with the endo‐cyclic tin atom five‐coordinated and the exo‐cyclic tin atom six coordinated. Studies also show that the nitrogen atoms of the 2‐quin ligand are coordinating to the tin atom for all the ten compounds. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymorph of {2‐[(2‐hydroxyethyl)iminiomethyl]phenolato‐κO}dioxido{2‐[(2‐oxidoethyl)iminomethyl]phenolato‐κ3O,N,O′}molybdenum(VI)

A second polymorphic form (form I) of the previously reported compound {2‐[(2‐hydroxyethyl)iminiomethyl]phenolato‐κO}dioxido{2‐[(2‐oxidoethyl)iminomethyl]phenolato‐κ³O,N,O′}molybdenum(VI) (form II), [Mo(C₉H₉NO₂)O₂(C₉H₁₁NO₂)], is presented. The title structure differs from the previously reported polymorph [Głowiak, Jerzykiewicz, Sobczak & Ziółkowski (2003). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 356 , 387–392] by the fact that the asymmetric unit contains three molecules linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. These trimeric units are further linked through O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a chain parallel to the [11] direction. As in the previous polymorph, each molecule is built up from an MoO₂²⁺ cation surrounded by an O,N,O′‐tridentate ligand (O⁻C₆H₄CH=NCH₂CH₂O⁻) and weakly coordinated by a second zwitterionic ligand (O⁻C₆H₄CH=N⁺HC₂H₄OH). All complexes are chiral with the absolute configuration at Mo being C or A. The main difference between the two polymorphs results from the alternation of the chirality at Mo within the chain.     

Stable γ-distonic oxonium ions: R\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^ + $\end{document}HCHR′ĊH2CHR″ and their characteristic reaction

The γ-distonic radical ions R$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^ + $CHR′CH₂?HR″ and their molecular ion counterparts R$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^{{\rm + } \cdot } $CHR′CH₂CH₂R″ have been studied by isotopic labelling and collision-induced dissociation, applying a potential to the collision cell in order to separate activated from spontaneous decompositions.

For all these γ-distonic ions, the 1,4-H abstraction leading to their molecular ion counterpart exhibits a primary isotope effect.     

Bipy,Phen und P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 in der Synthese kationischer Silber(I)‐Komplexe; die Festkörperstrukturen von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgOTf und [Ag(phen)2]OTf

Bipy, Phen, and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ in the Synthesis of Cationic Silver(I) Complexes; the Solid‐State Structures of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgOTf and [Ag(phen)₂]OTf The reaction of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX ( 1a , X = OTf; 1b , X = OClO₃) with equimolar amounts of L^capL ( 2a , L^capL = 2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy; 2b , L^capL = 4, 4′‐dimethyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy′; 2c , L^capL = 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen) leads to the formation of the cationic complexes {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Ag(L^capL)}⁺X^— (L^capL = bipy: 3a , X = OTf; 3b , X = ClO₄; L^capL = bipy′: 3c , X = OTf; 3d , X = ClO₄; L^capL = phen: 3e , X = OTf; 3f , X = ClO₄) in which the building blocks L^capL and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ act as bidentate chelating ligands and are datively‐bound to the silver atom. Spectroscopic studies reveal that on the NMR time‐scale the phosphane group is dynamic with exchanging the respective Me₂NCH₂ built‐in arms. While complex 3e is stable in the solid‐state, it appeared that solutions of 3e start to decompose upon precipitation of colloidal silver when they are heated or irradiated with light, respectively. Appropriate work‐up of the reaction mixture allows the isolation of the phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 5 ) along with [Ag(phen)₂]OTf ( 4 ). The solid‐state structures of neutral 1a and cationic 4 are reported. Mononuclear 1a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 16.7763(2), b = 14.7892(2), c = 25.44130(10)Å, β = 106.1260(10), V = 6063.83(11)ų and Z = 4 with 8132 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0712), while 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the cell parameters a = 26.749(3), b = 7.1550(10), c = 26.077(3)Å, β = 113.503(2), V = 4576.8(10)ų and Z = 4 with 6209 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0481). The unit cell of 1a consists of two independent molecules. In both molecules the silver atom possesses a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere and a boat‐like conformation for the six‐membered AgPNCH₂C_2/phenyl cycles is found. In 4 , as typical for 1a , the silver atom possesses the coordination number 4. The two phen ligands are tilted by 40.63°. The OTf group is acting as non‐coordinating counter ion.     

Unimolecular reactions of isolated organic ions: The chemistry of the unsaturated oxonium ion \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm CH}_{\rm 2} = {\rm CHCH =}\mathop {{\rm OCH}_{\rm 3}}\limits^{\rm +} $\end{document}

The reactions of metastable $ {\rm CH}_{\rm 2} = {\rm CHCH =}\mathop {{\rm OCH}_{\rm 3}}\limits^{\rm +} $ oxonium ions generated by alkyl radical loss from ionized allylic alkenyl methyl ethers are reported and discussed. Three main reactions occur, corresponding to expulsion of H₂O, C₂H₄/CO and CH₂O. There is also a very minor amount of C₃H₆ elimination. The mechanisms of these processes have been probed by ²H- and ¹³C-labelling experiments. Special attention is given to the influence of isotope effects on the kinetic energy release accompanying loss of formaldehyde from ²H-labelled analogues of $ {\rm CH}_{\rm 2} = {\rm CHCH =}\mathop {{\rm OCH}_{\rm 3}}\limits^{\rm + } $. Suggestions for interpreting these reactions in terms of routes involving ion–neutral complexes are put forward.     

Structural Characterization of Some Coinage Metal(I) Thiosulfate Complexes, $\rm M^{1}_{a}M\rm ^{2}_{b}(X_{c}) (S_{2}O_{3})_{d}(\cdot eS)$ (M1 = Group 1 Cation,X = Univalent Anion,M2 = CuI,AgI, S = Solvent)

Building on previous single crystal X‐ray structure determinations for the group 1 salts of complex thiosulfate/univalent coinage metal anions previously defined for (NH₄)₉AgCl₂(S₂O₃)₄, NaAgS₂O₃·H₂O and Na₄[Cu(NH₃)₄][Cu(S₂O₃)₂]·NH₃, a wide variety of similar salts, of the form , M¹ = group 1 metal cation, M² = univalent coinage metal cation (Cu, Ag), (X = univalent anion), most previously known, but some not, have been isolated and subjected to similar determinations. These have defined further members of the isotypic, tetragonal series, for M¹ = NH₄, M² = Cu, Ag, X = NO₃, Cl, Br, I, together with the K/Cu/NO₃ complex, all containing the complex anion [M²(SSO₃)₄]^7? with M² in an environment of symmetry, Cu, Ag‐S typically ca. 2.37, 2.58Å, with quasi‐tetrahedral S‐M‐S angular environments. Further salts of the form , n = 1‐3, have also been defined: For n = 3, M² = Cu, M¹/x = K/2.25 or 1 5/6, NH₄/6, (and also for the (NH₄)₄Na/4H₂O·MeOH adduct) the arrays take the form with distorted trigonal planar CuS₃ coordination environments, Cu‐S distances being typically 2.21Å, S‐Cu‐S ranging between 105.31(4)–129.77(4)°; the silver counterparts take the form for M¹ = K, NH₄. For n = 2, adducts have only been defined for M² = Ag, the anions of the M¹ = Na, K adducts being dimeric and polymeric respectively: Na₆[(O₃SS)₂Ag(μ‐SSO₃)₂Ag(SSO₃)]·3H₂O, K₃[Ag(μ‐SSO₃)₂]_(∞|∞)·H₂O; a polymeric copper(I) counterpart of the latter is found in Na₅Cu(NO₃)₂(S₂O₃)₂ ≡ 2NaNO₃·Na₃[Cu(μ‐SSO₃)₂]_(∞|∞). For n = 1, NaAgS₂O₃, the an‐ and mono‐ hydrates, exhibit a two‐dimensional polymeric complex anion in both forms but with different contributing motifs. (NH₄)₁₃Ag₃(S₂O₃)₈·2H₂O takes the form (NH₄)₁₃[{(O₃SS)₃Ag(μ‐SSO₃)}₂Ag], a linearly coordinated central silver atom linking a pair of peripheral [Ag(SSO₃)₄]^7? entities. In Na₆[(O₃SS)Ag(μ‐SSO₃)₂Ag(SSO₃)]·3H₂O, the binuclear anions present as Ag₂S₄ sheets, the associated oxygen atoms being disposed to one side, thus sandwiching layers of sodium ions; the remarkable complex Na₅[Ag₃(S₂O₃)₄]_(∞|∞)·H₂O is a variant, in which one sodium atom is transformed into silver, linking the binuclear species into a one‐dimensional polymer. In (NH₄)₈[Cu₂(S₂O₃)₅]·2H₂O a binuclear anion of the form [(O₃SS)₂Cu(μ‐S.SO₃)Cu(SSO₃)₂]^8? is found; the complex (NH₄)₁₁Cu(S₂O₃)₆ is 2(NH₄)₂(S₂O₃)·(NH₄)₇[Cu(SSO₃)₄]. A novel new hydrate of sodium thiosulfate is described, 4Na₄S₂O₃·5H₂O, largely describable as sheets of the salt, shrouded in water molecules to either side, together with a redetermination of the structure of 3K₂S₂O₃·H₂O.     

The Influence of Substituents at C2 Carbon Atom of Thiosemicarbazones {R(H)C2=N3‐N2(H)‐C1(=S)‐N1H2} on their Dentacy in PtII/PdII Complexes: Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Crystal Structures

The coordination chemistry of platinum(II) with a series of thiosemicarbazones {R(H)C²=N³‐N²(H)‐C¹(=S)‐N¹H₂, R = 2‐hydroxyphenyl, H₂stsc; pyrrole, H₂ptsc; phenyl, Hbtsc} is described. Reactions of trans‐PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂ precursor with H₂stsc (or H₂ptsc) in 1 : 1 molar ratio in the presence of Et₃N base yielded complexes, [Pt(η³‐ O, N³, S‐stsc)(PPh₃)] ( 1 ) and [Pt(η³‐ N⁴, N³, S‐ptsc)(PPh₃)] ( 2 ), respectively. Further, trans‐PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and Hbtsc in 1 : 2 (M : L) molar ratio yielded a different compound, [Pt(η²‐ N³, S‐btsc)(η¹‐S‐btsc)(PPh₃)] ( 3 ). Complex 1 involved deprotonation of hydrazinic (‐N²H‐) and hydroxyl (‐OH) groups, and stsc^2? is coordinating via O, N³, S donor atoms, while complex 2 involved deprotonation of hydrazinic (‐N²H‐) and ‐N⁴H groups and ptsc^2? is probably coordinating via N⁴, N³, S donor atoms. Reaction of PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ with Hbtsc‐Me {C₆H₅(CH₃)C²=N³‐N²(H)‐C¹(=S)‐N¹H₂} yielded a cyclometallated complex [Pd(η³‐C, N³, S‐btsc‐Me)(PPh₃)] ( 4 ). These complexes have been characterized with the help of analytical data, spectroscopic techniques {IR, NMR (¹H, ³¹P), U.V} and single crystal X‐ray crystallography ( 1 , 3 and 4 ). The effects of substituents at C² carbon of thiosemicarbazones on their dentacy and cyclometallation are emphasized.     

[(C6H10)(NH3)2][Ni(H2O)4C6H2(COO)4]·4H2O – A Coordination Polymer with the Chain‐like Polyanion {Ni(H2O)4[C6H2(COO)4]2−}n

Triclinic single crystals of [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂][Ni(H₂O)₄C₆H₂(COO)₄]·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C. Space group (Nr. 2), a = 691.23(6), b = 924.84(5), c = 1082.43(7) pm, α = 74.208(6)°, β = 75.558(7)°, γ = 68.251(6)°, V = 0.60985(7) nm³, Z = 1. The Nickel(II) species, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is coordinated in a trans‐octahedral fashion by two oxygen atoms stemming from the centrosymmetric pyromellitate anions and four from water molecules (Ni–O 205.82(12) – 208.11(13) pm). The connection between Ni²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄)]^4? leads to infinite chain‐like polyanions extending parallel to with {Ni(H₂O)₄[C₆H₂(COO)₄]^2?}_n composition. [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂]²⁺‐cations are accomodated between the chains, compensating for the negative charge of the polyanions. Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 102 and 206 °C, corresponding to the loss of 6 and 2 water molecules per formula unit, respectively. The dehydrated sample was stable between 206 and 353 °C. Further decomposition yielded nickel(II) oxide (NiO).     

1‐Azonia‐2‐boratanaphthalenes

The 1‐azonia‐2‐boratanaphthalenes (NH)(BX)C₈H₆ can be synthesized from 2‐aminostyrene and the dihaloboranes XBHal₂ ( 1 ‐ 4 : X = Cl, Br, iPr, tBu). Further derivatives (NH)(BX)C₈H₆ are obtained from 1 by replacing Cl by alkoxy or alkyl groups [ 5 ‐ 8 : X = OMe, OtBu, Me, (CH₂)₃NMe₂]. The hydrolysis of 1 gives a mixture of the bis(azoniaboratanaphthyl) oxide [(NH)BC₈H₆]₂O ( 9 ) and the hydroxy derivative (NH)[B(OH)]C₈H₆ ( 10 ). The diboryl oxide 9 crystallizes in the space group C2/c. The lithiation of 4 at the nitrogen atom gives [NLi(tmen)](BtBu)C₈H₆ ( 11 ), which upon reaction with the diborane(4) B₂Cl₂(NMe₂)₂ yields the 1, 2‐bis(azoniaboratanaphthyl)diborane B₂[N(BtBu)C₈H₆]₂(NMe₂)₂ ( 12 ). The 2‐chloro‐1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl derivative (NMe)(BCl)C₈H₅Ph ( 13 ) of the parent (NH)(BH)C₈H₆ can be synthesized from the aminoborane BCl₂(NMePh) and phenylethyne. Substitution of Cl in 13 gives the derivatives (NMe)(BX)C₈H₅Ph [ 14 ‐ 20 : X = N(SiMe₃)₂, Me, Et, iBu, tBu, CH₂SiMe₃, Ph] and the reaction of 13 with Li₂O affords the bis(azoniaboratanaphthyl) oxide [(NMe)BC₈H₅Ph]₂O ( 21 ). The reaction of 16 or 19 with [(MeCN)₃Cr(CO)₃] yields the complexes [{(NMe)(BX)C₈H₅Ph}Cr(CO)₃] ( 22 , 23 : X = Et, CH₂SiMe₃), in which the chromium atom is hexahapto bound to the homoarene part of 16 or 19 , respectively. The complex 23 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c. Upon reaction of the phenols para‐C₆H₄R(OH) with the aryldichloroboranes ArBCl₂ and subsequent condensation of the products with phenylethyne, the 1‐oxonia‐2‐boratanaphthalenes O(BAr)C₈H₄RPh with R in position 6 and Ph in position 4 are formed ( 24 ‐ 26 : Ar = Ph, R = H, Me, OMe; 27 ‐ 29 : Ar = C₆F₅, R = H, Me, OMe). The azoniaboratanaphthalenes 1 ‐ 23 were characterized by NMR methods.
