Hydrogen Bonds in Binuclear μ-Hydroxo-bis[trichloroantimony(V)] Complexes with Phosphate or Phosphonate Groups as Bridging Ligands Benzylphosphonic acid monoalkylesters react with antimony(V) chloride and water to yield Cl₃SbO(OH)[(C₆H₅CH₂)RPO₂]SbCl₃ · H₂O ( 1 : R = OCH₃; 2 : R = OC₂H₅). With difluoro phosphoric acid only Cl₃SbO(OH)(F₂PO₂)SbCl₃ ( 3 ) can be isolated. The crystal and molecular structures of 1 to 3 were determined. 1 and 2 both crystallizing orthorhombic in the space group Pnma are hydroxonium salts H₃O⁺[Cl₃SbO₂((C₆H₅CH₂)RPO₂)SbCl₃]^–. Strong hydrogen bridges link cations and anions to chains. One of the hydrogen atoms of the cation makes a weak but important OH/π interaction to the para C atom of the benzyl group. In 3 (monoclinic, P2₁/n) the molecules are connected by hydrogen bridges to fourfold δ and helices λ. In solution there is a rapid intermolecular exchange of protons. IR and NMR data are communicated and briefly discussed.

The fragmentation patterns are practically independent of the organic groups present and can be rationalized by stereochemical considerations.

Formation and hydrolysis of gas‐phase [UO2(R)]+: R═CH3, CH2CH3, CH═CH2, and C6H5

The goals of the present study were (a) to create positively charged organo‐uranyl complexes with general formula [UO₂(R)]⁺ (eg, R═CH₃ and CH₂CH₃) by decarboxylation of [UO₂(O₂C─R)]⁺ precursors and (b) to identify the pathways by which the complexes, if formed, dissociate by collisional activation or otherwise react when exposed to gas‐phase H₂O. Collision‐induced dissociation (CID) of both [UO₂(O₂C─CH₃)]⁺ and [UO₂(O₂C─CH₂CH₃)]⁺ causes H⁺ transfer and elimination of a ketene to leave [UO₂(OH)]⁺. However, CID of the alkoxides [UO₂(OCH₂CH₃)]⁺ and [UO₂(OCH₂CH₂CH₃)]⁺ produced [UO₂(CH₃)]⁺ and [UO₂(CH₂CH₃)]⁺, respectively. Isolation of [UO₂(CH₃)]⁺ and [UO₂(CH₂CH₃)]⁺ for reaction with H₂O caused formation of [UO₂(H₂O)]⁺ by elimination of ·CH₃ and ·CH₂CH₃: Hydrolysis was not observed. CID of the acrylate and benzoate versions of the complexes, [UO₂(O₂C─CH═CH₂)]⁺ and [UO₂(O₂C─C₆H₅)]⁺, caused decarboxylation to leave [UO₂(CH═CH₂)]⁺ and [UO₂(C₆H₅)]⁺, respectively. These organometallic species do react with H₂O to produce [UO₂(OH)]⁺, and loss of the respective radicals to leave [UO₂(H₂O)]⁺ was not detected. Density functional theory calculations suggest that formation of [UO₂(OH)]⁺, rather than the hydrated U^VO₂⁺, cation is energetically favored regardless of the precursor ion. However, for the [UO₂(CH₃)]⁺ and [UO₂(CH₂CH₃)]⁺ precursors, the transition state energy for proton transfer to generate [UO₂(OH)]⁺ and the associated neutral alkanes is higher than the path involving direct elimination of the organic neutral to form [UO₂(H₂O)]⁺. The situation is reversed for the [UO₂(CH═CH₂)]⁺ and [UO₂(C₆H₅)]⁺ precursors: The transition state for proton transfer is lower than the energy required for creation of [UO₂(H₂O)]⁺ by elimination of CH═CH₂ or C₆H₅ radical.

Thia- and Selena-arachno-undecaborane 6,7-μ-(CH₃E)B₁₀H₁₃. Crystal Structure of arachno-6,7-μ-(CH₃Se)B₁₀H₁₃. Theoretical Investigations of the Molecular Structures and ¹¹B NMR Shifts of arachno-6,7-μ-(CH₃E)B₁₀H₁₃ The reaction of B₁₀H₁₄ with (CH₃)₂S yields with loss of H₂ the base adduct 6,9-[(CH₃)₂S]₂B₁₀H₁₂. Although an analogous reaction between B₁₀H₁₄ with disulfanes or diselenanes was expected to produce 6,9 bridged dichalcogen derivatives, (CH₃)₂S₂ failed to react even under reflux conditions. Trisulfane (CH₃)₂S₃ does react, but the pathway is different and leads to (CH₃S)B₁₀H₁₃ 2 without loss of H₂. Unlike of (CH₃)₂S₂, (CH₃)₂Se₂ yields (CH₃Se)B₁₀H₁₃, 3 . Both 2 and 3 are formed by substitution of a bridging hydrogen and could be obtained in pure form and characterized ¹¹B NMR spectroscopically. A single crystal X-ray structure analysis also was performed on 3 (space group P2₁/c). The molecular structures of 2 and 3 were optimized at the MP2 level and ¹¹B NMR shifts were computed at the IGLO-SCF, GIAO-SCF and GIAO-B3LYP levels of theory.

Unusual centrosymmetric structure of [M(18‐crown‐6)]+ (M = Rb,Cs and NH4) complexes stabilized in an environment of hexachloridoantimonate(V) anions

In (1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane)rubidium hexachloridoantimonate(V), [Rb(C₁₂H₂₄O₆)][SbCl₆], (1), and its isomorphous caesium {(1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane)caesium hexachloridoantimonate(V), [Cs(C₁₂H₂₄O₆)][SbCl₆]}, (2), and ammonium {ammonium hexachloridoantimonate(V)–1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane (1/1), (NH₄)[SbCl₆]·C₁₂H₂₄O₆}, (3), analogues, the hexachloridoantimonate(V) anions and 18‐crown‐6 molecules reside across axes passing through the Sb atoms and the centroids of the 18‐crown‐6 groups, both of which coincide with centres of inversion. The Rb⁺ [in (1)], Cs⁺ [in (2)] and NH₄⁺ [in (3)] cations are situated inside the cavity of the 18‐crown‐6 ring; they are situated on axes and are equally disordered about centres of inversion, deviating from the centroid of the 18‐crown‐6 molecule by 0.4808 (13), 0.9344 (7) and 0.515 (8) Å, respectively. Interaction of the ammonium cation and the 18‐crown‐6 group is supported by three equivalent hydrogen bonds [N...O = 2.928 (3) Å and N—H...O = 162°]. The centrosymmetric structure of [Cs(18‐crown‐6)]⁺, with the large Cs⁺ cation approaching the centre of the ligand cavity, is unprecedented and accompanied by unusually short Cs—O bonds [2.939 (2) and 3.091 (2) Å]. For all three compounds, the [M(18‐crown‐6)]⁺ cations and [SbCl₆]⁻ anions afford linear stacks along the c axis, with the cationic complexes embedded between pairs of inversion‐related anions.
