Aryl- und Arin-Komplexe von Übergangsmetallen der sechsten Gruppe Darstellung von [Mo(p-C6H4CH3)6(Li · OC4H10)3] und [W(p-C6H4CH3)4(C6H3CH3)2(Li · OC4H10)4] sowie NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchung des W-Komplexes

Aryl and Aryne Complexes of Group Six Transition Metals. Preparation of [Mo(p-C₆H₄CH₃)₆(Li · OC₄H₁₀)₃] und [W(p-C₆H₄CH₃)₄(C₆H₃CH₃)₂(Li · OC₄H₁₀)₄] and NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of the W Complex Molybdenum(V) chloride reacts with an etheral solution of p-tolyllithium (molar ratio 1:10) to yield a yellow, strongly paramagnetic hexatolylo complex ([MoTol₆(Li · S)₃]¹) (μ_eff = 3.51 B.M.), while from tungsten(V) bromide and p-tolyllithium (molar ratio 1:11) a blackish violet, diamagnetic complex [WTol₄Tn₂(Li · S)₄] is formed, containing two tolylene or tolyne groups for ligands. The ¹H-NMR spectrum points to the Tol-ligands being influenced by the methyl groups of the Tn-ligands.     

Structural, electrochemical and oxygen atom transfer properties of a molybdenum selenoether complex [Mo2O4(OC3H6SeC3H6O)2] and its thioether analogue [Mo2O4(OC3H6SC3H6O)2

The first crystallographically characterized molybdenum(vi) selenoether complex [Mo(2)O(4)(OC(3)H(6)SeC(3)H(6)O)(2)] and its thioether analogue [Mo(2)O(4)(OC(3)H(6)SC(3)H(6)O)(2)] were synthesised. Their structural, electrochemical and oxygen atom transfer properties are compared. This is relevant for the molybdenum cofactors of the DMSO reductase family where the coordination of the active site metal occurs through O (serine/aspartate), S (cysteine) or Se (selenocysteine). Both structures are almost identical except for those parameters that are directly derived from the different sizes of the varied ligand atoms (Se and S). No trans influence was observed. The metal centered redox process (Mo(V)<-->Mo(VI)) is at slightly lower voltage for the sulfur than for the selenium complex. The selenium compound catalyses the oxygen atom transfer from DMSO to PPh(3) by a different mechanism and at a higher rate than the sulfur compound, which is an indication that cysteine and selenocysteine might be used for a purpose in the different molybdenum and tungsten cofactors.     

The reaction of Li[Al(OR)4] R = OC(CF3)2Ph, OC(CF3)3 with NO/NO2 giving NO[Al(OR)4], Li[NO3] and N2O. The synthesis of NO[Al(OR)4] from Li[Al(OR)4] and NO[SbF6] in sulfur dioxide solution

NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)] 1 and NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] 2 were obtained by the metathesis reaction of NO[SbF(6)] and the corresponding Li[Al(OR)(4)] salts in liquid sulfur dioxide solution in ca 40% (1) and 85% (2) isolated yield. 1 and 2, as well as Li[NO(3)] and N(2)O, were also given by the reaction of an excess of mixture of (90 mol%) NO, (10 mol%) NO(2) with Li[Al(OR)(4)] followed by extraction with SO(2). The unfavourable disproportionation reaction of 2NO(2)(g) to [NO](+)(g) and [NO(3)](-)(g)[DeltaH degrees = +616.2 kJ mol(-1)] is more than compensated by the disproportionation energy of 3NO(g) to N(2)O(g) and NO(2)(g)[DeltaH degrees =-155.4 kJ mol(-1)] and the lattice energy of Li[NO(3)](s)[U(POT)= 862 kJ mol(-1)]. Evidence is presented that the reaction proceeds via a complex of [Li](+) with NO, NO(2)(or their dimers) and N(2)O. NO(2) and Li[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] gave [NO(3)(NO)(3)][Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)](2), NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] and (NO(2))[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] products. The aluminium complex [Li[AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)]](2) 3 was prepared by the thermal decomposition of Li[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)]. Compounds 1 and 3 were characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analyses, 1-3 by elemental analyses, NMR, IR, Raman and mass spectra. Solid 1 contains [Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and [NO](+) weakly linked via donor acceptor interactions, while in the SO(2) solution there is an equilibrium between the associated [NO](+)[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and separated solvated ions. Solid 2 contains essentially ionic [NO](+) and [Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)](-). Complex 3 consists of two [Li[AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)]] units linked via fluorine lithium contacts. Compound 1 is unstable in the SO(2) solution and decomposes to yield [AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)](-), [(PhC(CF(3))(2)O)(3)Al(mu-F)Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)](-) anions as well as (NO)C(6)H(4)C(CF(3))(2)OH, while compound 2 is stable in liquid SO(2). The [small nu](NO(+)) in 1 and [NO](+)(toluene)[SbCl(6)] are similar, implying similar basicities of [Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and toluene.     

{[2‐FC6H4C(NSiMe3)2Li]4Li2O} — Bildung eines sauerstoffzentrierten Käfigs

{[2‐FC₆H₄C(NSiMe₃)₂Li]₄Li₂O} — Formation of an Oxygen‐centred Cage From the reaction of [2‐FC₆H₄C(NSiMe₃)₂Li]₂·OEt₂ ( 1 ) with water containing toluene the oxygen‐centred cage {[2‐FC₆H₄C(NSiMe₃)₂Li]₄Li₂O} ( 2 ) was obtained. The formation of the cage structure, which contains a central Li₆O‐unit, can be explained by using the laddering principle.     

Structural diversity in solvated lithium aryloxides. Syntheses, characterization, and structures of [Li(OAr)(THF)x]n and [Li(OAr)(py)x]2 complexes where OAr = OC6H5, OC6H4(2-Me), OC6H3(2,6-(Me))2, OC6H4(2-Pr(i)), OC6H3(2,6-Pr(i)))2, OC6h4(2-Bu(t)), OC6H3(2,6-Bu(t)))2

A series of sterically varied aryl alcohols H-OAr [OAr = OC6H5 (OPh), OC6H4(2-Me) (oMP), OC6H3(2,6-(Me))2 (DMP), OC6H4(2-Pr(i)) (oPP), OC6H3(2,6-(Pr(i)))2 (DIP), OC6H4(2-Bu(t)) (oBP), OC6H3(2,6-(Bu(t)))2 (DBP); Me = CH3, Pr(i) = CHMe2, and Bu(t) = CMe3] were reacted with LiN(SiMe3)2 in a Lewis basic solvent [tetrahydrofuran (THF) or pyridine (py)] to generate the appropriate "Li(OAr)(solv)x". In the presence of THF, the OPh derivative was previously identified as the hexagonal prismatic complex [Li(OPh)(THF)]6; however, the structure isolated from the above route proved to be the tetranuclear species [Li(OPh)(THF)]4 (1). The other "Li(OAr)(THF)x" products isolated were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as [Li(OAr)(THF)]4 [OAr = oMP (2), DMP (3), oPP (4)], [Li(DIP)(THF)]3 (5), [Li(oBP)(THF)2]2, (6), and [Li(DBP)(THF)]2, (7). The tetranuclear species (1-4) consist of symmetric cubes of alternating tetrahedral Li and pyramidal O atoms, with terminal THF solvent molecules bound to each metal center. The trinuclear species 5 consists of a six-membered ring of alternating trigonal planar Li and bridging O atoms, with one THF solvent molecule bound to each metal center. Compound 6 possesses two Li atoms that adopt tetrahedral geometries involving two bridging oBP and two terminal THF ligands. The structure of 7 was identical to the previously reported [Li(DBP)(THF)]2 species, but different unit cell parameters were observed. Compound 7 varies from 6 in that only one solvent molecule is bound to each Li metal center of 7 because of the steric bulk of the DBP ligand. In contrast to the structurally diverse THF adducts, when py was used as the solvent, the appropriate "Li(OAr)(py)x" complexes were isolated as [Li(OAr)(py)2]2 (OAr = OPh (8), oMP (9), DMP (10), oPP (11), DIP (12), oBP (13)) and [Li(DBP)(py)]2 (14). Compounds 8-13 adopt a dinuclear, edge-shared tetrahedral complex. For 14, because of the steric crowding of the DBP ligand, only one py is coordinated, yielding a dinuclear fused trigonal planar arrangement. Two additional structure types were also characterized for the DIP ligand: [Li(DIP)(H-DIP)(py)]2 (12b) and [Li2(DIP)2(py)3] (12c). Multinuclear (6,7Li and 13C) solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopic studies indicate that the bulk powder possesses several Li environments for "transitional ligands" of the THF complexes; however, the py adducts possess only one Li environment, which is consistent with the solid-state structures. Solution NMR studies indicate that "transitional" compounds of the THF precursors display multiple species in solution whereas the py adducts display only one lithium environment.

Reaction of Mo₆Cl₁₂ with two equivalents of sodium methoxide in the presence of 2,2,2-crypt yields (C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆Na)₂[Mo₆Cl₁₂(OCH₃)₂] ( 1 ), which can be converted to (C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆Na)₂[Mo₆Cl₁₂(OC₁₅H₁₁)₂] · 2C₄H₆O₃ ( 2 ) by metathesis with 9-Anthracenemethanole in propylene carbonate. As confirmed by X-ray single crystal structure determination ( 1 : C2/m, a=25.513(8) Å, b=13.001(3) Å, c=10.128(3) Å, β=100.204(12)°; : C2/c, a=15.580(5) Å, b=22.337(5) Å, c=27.143(8) Å, β=98.756(10)°) the compounds contain anionic cluster units [Mo₆ClCl(OR^a)₂]^2? with two alcoholate ligands in terminal trans positions ( 1 : d(Mo—Mo) 2.597(2) Å to 2.610(2) Å, d(Mo—Clⁱ) 2.471(3) Å to 2.493(4) Å, d(Mo—Cl^a) 2.417(8) Å and 2.427(8) Å, d(Mo—O) 2.006(13) Å; 2 : d(Mo—Mo) 2.599(3) Å to 2.628(3), d(Mo—Clⁱ) 2.468(8) Å to 2.506(7) Å, d(Mo—Cl^a) 2.444(8) Å and 2.445(7) Å, d(Mo—O) 2.012(19) Å).

Barium Stannate Powders from Hydrothermal Synthesis and by Thermolysis of Barium‐Tin(IV)‐Glycolates. Synthesis and Structure of [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] and [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₂][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃]·CH₃OH The hydrothermal reaction as well as the microwave assisted hydrothermal reaction of SnO₂·aq with barium hydroxide gives Ba[Sn(OH)₆] ( 1 ) as powder with bar like particles. Compound 1 of the same morphology can also be isolated from a hydrothermal reaction of [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] ( 3 ). The reaction of SnO₂·aq with Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O in ethylene glycol yields the glycolate [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] ( 3 ), which forms in methanol the solvate [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₂][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃]·CH₃OH ( 4 ). Compounds 1 , 3 and 4 react at different temperatures to BaSnO₃ ( 2 ) consisting of powders with different morphologies; because of the grain size of the resulting powders compounds 3 and 4 are suitable as precursor for the fabrication of corresponding ceramics.

Synthesis,structure and magnetic properties of {Mn5(OC(O)CH3)6(OC(O)C6H5)4}∞

The ligand exchange reaction between Mn(OC(O)CH₃)₂ and benzoic acid under solvothermal conditions in toluene at 110 °C yields colorless crystals of {Mn₅(OC(O)CH₃)₆(OC(O)C₆H₅)₄}_∞ (1). The asymmetric unit of this complex is Mn_2.5(OC(O)CH₃)₃(OC(O)C₆H₅)₂ with each of the three different Mn(II) atoms in 6-fold coordination and one of the benzoate ligands exhibiting the rare μ₃-symmetric bridging mode (O–Mn–O angle = 57°). The structure consists of edge-shared Mn₁₂ loops arranged in a honeycomb-like 2D sheet with the acetate ligands displaced slightly out of the plane. The sheets are spaced at 12 Å and linked into a 3D network via weak intersheet interactions. Magnetic susceptibility characterization of 1 indicates antiferromagnetic exchange with a Weiss constant of −165 K and a transition toward ferromagnetic exchange below 10 K corroborated with a finite imaginary component in the variable temperature susceptibility data.     

Crystal growth of two new photoluminescent oxides: Sr3Li6Nb2O11 and Sr3Li6Ta2O11

Single crystals of Sr3Li6M2O11 (M = Nb, Ta) were grown out of a high-temperature Sr(OH)2/LiOH/KOH flux. The single crystal X-ray diffraction data were indexed to the orthorhombic Pmma system, with a = 10.5834(15) A, b = 8.3103(13) A, c = 5.8277(8) A, V = 512.55(13) A(3), and Z = 2 for Sr3Li6Nb2O11 and a = 10.5936(6) A, b = 8.3452(5) A, c = 5.8271(4) A, V = 515.15(6) A(3), and Z = 2 for Sr3Li6Ta2O11. The crystal structure consists of sheets of interconnected SrO8 polyhedra that are separated by M-O layers and an intervening LiO(x) polyhedral framework, representing a new structural type. The M-O layers exhibit a rare occurrence of both five- and six-coordinated M(5+) ions in the same structure. The oxides, upon excitation at 250 nm, exhibit violet emission at room temperature.     

Phosphaniminato‐Acetato‐Cluster von Kupfer und Zink. Kristallstrukturen von [Cu4(NPEt3)2(O2CCH3)6] und [Zn4(NPEt3)2(O2CCH3)6]

Phosphoraneiminato Acetate Cluster of Copper and Zinc. Crystal Structures of [Cu₄(NPEt₃)₂(O₂CCH₃)₆] and [Zn₄(NPEt₃)₂(O₂CCH₃)₆] The anhydrous acetates of copper(II) and zinc react with the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNPEt₃ in dichloromethane at 20 °C forming the mixed phosphoraneiminato acetate clusters [Cu₄(NPEt₃)₂(O₂CCH₃)₆] ( 1 ), which forms emerald crystals, and colourless [Zn₄(NPEt₃)₂ · (O₂CCH₃)₆] ( 2 ). In spite of analogous composition the structures of 1 and 2 are completely different. In the asymmetric unit of 1 three copper atoms of an almost isosceles triangle are linked via two nitrogen atoms of the NPEt₃^– groups to form a trigonal bipyramidal aggregate. One of these three copper atoms is chelated by an acetate group, another one is connected with the fourth copper atom via three μ₂‐O₂C–CH₃ groups. The asymmetric units are associated via a μ₂‐O₂C–CH₃ group and a μ₃‐OC(O)CH₃ group at a time so that infinite chains result. In 2 two zinc atoms are linked via the nitrogen atoms of the two NPEt₃^– groups to form an almost centrosymmetric four‐membered ring. Both nitrogen atoms of the four‐membered ring are connected with another zinc atom each. These zinc atoms again are linked with the zinc atoms of the Zn₂N₂ four‐membered ring via two μ₂‐O₂C–CH₃ groups each and additionally coordinated with a terminal acetate ligand each.
