Zum Mechanismus des thermischen Abbaus von Ammonium- und Ammin-Chlorokomplexen des Rutheniums,Rhodiums, Palladiums und Platins

On the Mechanism of the Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium and Ammin Chloro Complexes of Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum The thermolysis of noble metal compounds was investigated by a combination of independent physical (DTA/TG, high-temperature Guinier-Simon-technique) and preparative methods, characterization of the educts, intermediats and products by Guinier X-ray patterns and IR spectroscopy:

• (a) (NH₄)₂[PtCl₆], (NH₄)₂[PtCl₄], [Pt(NH₃)₄][PtCl₄], [Pt(NH₃)₄]Cl₂, and trans-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂];
• (b) (NH₄)₂[PdCl₄], [Pd(NH₃)₄]Cl₂, trans-[Pd(NH₃)₂Cl₂], and [Pd(NH₃)₄][PdCl₄];
• (c) (NH₄)₂[RhCl₅(H₂O)], (NH₄)₃[Rh₂Cl₉], K₂[RhCl₅(H₂O)], and K₂[RhCl₅(NH₃)];
• (d) (NH₄)₂[RuCl₅(NH₃)] and (NH₄)₄[Ru₂Cl₁₀O]

. The most important step of the mechanism of the thermal decomposition is the ?internal”? redox reaction between the noble metal cation and the nitrogen atom of the ammine ligand.

Electrical conductivities of dilute aqueous solutions for unsymmetrical electrolytes of the type 3:1, 1:3, 3:2, 4:1, 1:4, 4:2, 2:4, 1:5 1:6 and 6:1 are reexamined in the framework of the Quint-Viallard conductivity equations, in order to obtain a uniform representation of their conductivities. The molar and equivalent limiting conductances were evaluated with ion association constants, which were treated as adjustable parameters. The derived values were compared with corresponding results from the literature. The following electrolytes are considered: rare earth (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) halides, perchlorides, nitrates and sulfates; hexamminecobalt and tris-ethylenediaminecobalt halides, perchlorides, nitrates and sulfates; [Ni₂(trien)₃]Cl₄, [Pt(pn)₃]Cl₄, [Co₂(trien)₃]Cl₆; cyanides K₃[Fe(CN)₆], K₃[Co(CN)₆], M₃[W(CN)₈] with M=Na, K, Rb, Cs; Ca₂[Fe(CN)₆], K₄[Fe(CN)₆], K₄[Mo(CN)₈], K₄[W(CN)₈], K₄[Ru(CN)₈], (Me₄N)₄[Fe(CN)₆], (Pr₄N)₄[Fe(CN)₆], K₄[Mo(CN)₈], (Me₄N)₄[Mo(CN)₈], (Et₄N)₄[Mo(CN)₈] and (Pr₄N)₄[Mo(CN)₈]; phosphates Na₄P₂O₇, Na₄P₄O₁₂, Na₅P₃O₁₀, Na₆P₆O₁₈ and (Me₄N)₄P₄O₁₂.     

Elektrochemisches Verhalten von Redox-Systemen in Lösungsmittel-Gemischen, 1. Mitt.: Das System K4[Fe(CN)6]—K3[Fe(CN)6] in Gemischen von Wasser mit organischen Lösungsmitteln

Zusammenfassung Das elektrochemische Verhalten des Redoxsystems K₄[Fe(CN)₆]/K₃[Fe(CN)₆] wurde in Methanol-Wasser-, Äthanol-Wasser-, Dioxan-Wasser-, Tetrahydrofuran-Wasser-und Aceton-Wasser-Gemischen in Abhängigkeit von der Zusammensetzung des Lösungsmittels untersucht.Die Veränderungen des Redoxpotentials, der Leitfähigkeit und der Dielektrizitätskonstante wurden studiert, die Absorptionsspektra sowohl der einzelnen Komponenten als auch des Redoxsystems in sichtbaren und UV-Gebiet aufgenommen und ihre zeitliche Stabilität auch in Methanolhaltigen Lösungen festgestellt.Es wurde gezeigt, daß die Veränderung des Redoxpotentials — vor allem — von den, die Solvatation beeinflussenden Koordinationseigenschafte der Lösungsmittel verursacht wird. In den Lösungsmittelgemischen verändern sich die Dissoziationsverhältnisse von K₄[Fe(CN)₆] bzw. K₃[Fe(CN)₆] hauptsächlich infolge der Veränderung der Dielektrizitätskonstanten. Dieser Umstand wirkt indirekt auf das Redoxpotential des Systems.Die verschiedenen Lösungsmittelgemische rufen aber auch unmittelbar durch ihre, die Elektronendichte beeinflussenden Donor- und Acceptor-Eigenschaften die Veränderung des Redoxpotentials hervor.

The electrochemical behaviour of redox systems in mixed solvents, I: The K₄[Fe(CN)₆]—K₃[Fe(CN)₆] system in organic solvent-water mixtures

The electrochemical behaviour of the K₄[Fe(CN)₆]—K₃[Fe(CN)₆] system has been investigated in methanol-water, ethanol-water, dioxane-water, tetrahydrofuran-water and acetone-water mixtures, as a function of the composition of the solvents.Changes in redox potential, conductivity, and dielectric constants have been investigated. In addition to the above the absorption spectra of the individual components and redox systems have been examined in the ultraviolet and visible range. The stabilities of the spectra have been established as a function of time, also in solvents containing methanol.It has been proved that the change of redox potential is caused-first of all—by the coordination behaviour of the solvent, affecting solvation. In the mixtures of solvents the dissociation properties of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆] are changed in consequence of the change in dielectric constants. The redox potential of the system is indirectly affected by this phenomenon.The change of redox potential, however, amy also be directly caused by the different mixtures of solvents, owing to their donor-acceptor properties affecting electron density.

The ordering of the MX₅Y polyhedra in the compounds (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅], [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ and K₂VOCl₅ enables a closer packing.     

Metal complexes of 6-chloropurine

Summary Five Cu(II), Pd(II), Cd(II), Pt(IV), and Au(III) complexes of 6-chloropurine have been obtained. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR,¹H-NMR and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of these data the structure of the complexes and the coordination of the ligand have been proposed. Thus, the physical and chemical methods supported evidence that in acidic medium, with exception of the Cu(II) complex, 6-chloropurine acts in the monoprotonated form neutralizing the charge of [PdCl₄]^2–, [CdCl₄]^2–, [AuCl₄]^– and [PtCl₆]^2– anions. The thermal behaviour of the complexes has also been studied.

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.     

Reactivity of Ammonium Halides: Action of Ammonium Chloride and Bromide on Iron and Iron(III) Chloride and Bromide

Ammonium chloride and bromide, (NH₄)Cl and (NH₄)Br, act on elemental iron producing divalent iron in [Fe(NH₃)₂]Cl₂ and [Fe(NH₃)₂]Br₂, respectively, as single crystals at temperatures around 450 °C. Iron(III) chloride and bromide, FeCl₃ and FeBr₃, react with (NH₄)Cl and (NH₄)Br producing the erythrosiderites (NH₄)₂[Fe(NH₃)Cl₅] and (NH₄)₂[Fe(NH₃)Br₅], respectively, at fairly low temperatures (350 °C). At higher temperatures, 400 °C, iron(III) in (NH₄)₂[Fe(NH₃)Cl₅] is reduced to iron(II) forming (NH₄)FeCl₃ and, further, [Fe(NH₃)₂]Cl₂ in an ammonia atmosphere. The reaction (NH₄)Br + Fe (4:1) leads at 500 °C to the unexpected hitherto unknown [Fe(NH₃)₆]₃[Fe₈Br₁₄], a mixed‐valent Fe^II/Fe^I compound. Thermal analysis under ammonia and the conditions of DTA/TG and powder X‐ray diffractometry shows that, for example, FeCl₂ reacts with ammonia yielding in a strongly exothermic reaction [Fe(NH₃)₆]Cl₂ that at higher temperatures produces [Fe(NH₃)]Cl₂, FeCl₂ and, finally, Fe₃N.
