Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung in Mangan(III)‐fluoridsulfaten. II. Phasenübergang und Verzwillingung bei K2[MnF3(SO4)] und 1D Magnetismus in Verbindungen A2[MnF3(SO4)] (A = K,NH4, Rb,Cs)

Jahn‐Teller Ordering in Manganese(III) Fluoride Sulfates. II. Phase Transition and Twinning of K₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] and 1D Magnetism in Compounds A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] (A = K, NH₄, Rb, Cs) According to single‐crystal X‐ray investigations, K₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] crystallizes at low temperature, like the isostructural Rb, NH₄, and Cs analogues in space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, e.g. at 100 K with a = 7.197, b = 10.704, c = 8.427Å, β = 91.84°. Below about 300 K, the crystals are found to be [001] axis twins. Using a new integration method for area detector records, nearly complete intensity data could be gained allowing for structure refinements of similar quality as for untwinned crystals (e.g. at 100 K: wR₂ = 0.050, R = 0.020 for all reflections). With rising temperature, the monoclinic angle approaches continuously 90°. For an ordering parameter Δβ = β?90° a 2^nd‐order phase transition is observed with an exponent λ = 0.17. At the transition temperature of 280 K resulting from the fit, the monoclinic structure changes – with delay – to orthorhombic with the minimum super‐group Pnca, a = 7.243, b = 10.763, c = 8.457Å, R = 0.024, as found in an early structure determination at room temperature by Edwards 1971. In the chain‐like [MnF₃(SO₄)]^2? anions, manganese(III) is octahedrally coordinated by two trans‐terminal and two trans‐bridging fluorine ligands as well as by the O atoms of two trans‐bridging sulfate ligands. At low temperature, the octahedral elongation by the Jahn‐Teller effect alternates between a F–Mn–F and an O–Mn–O axis (antiferrodistortive ordering). All bridges are asymmetric. From about 320 K on they become symmetric. Due to 2D dynamical Jahn‐Teller effect all octahedra appear compressed. All compounds A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] show 1D antiferromagnetism. The antiferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller order at low temperatures and the small bridge angles explain the much lower magnetic exchange energies and their inverse relation to the bridge angles as compared with other fluoromanganate(III) chain compounds with the usual ferrodistortive ordering.     

Struktur und 1D‐magnetische Eigenschaften von (pipzH2)[MnF4(H2PO4)]

Structure and 1D‐magnetic properties of (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] From hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III), using piperazinium(2+) counter cations (pipzH₂²⁺) the chain‐anion [MnF₄(H₂PO₄)]^2— can be stabilized providing an interesting model system for studying the magnetic exchange interaction via phosphate bridges. Depending on the HF/H₃PO₄ excess (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] crystallizes in two polymorphs I und II , differing mainly in the orientation of the cations. Form I is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.749(1), b = 12.039(1), c = 12.501(1) Å, β = 94.420(4)°, R = 0.023, Form II crystallizes in the same space group type P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.651(1), b = 12.799(1), c = 12.825(1) Å, β = 110.312(5)°, R = 0.037. The Mn³⁺ ions are octahedrally surrounded by four terminal fluoride ligands and axially by bidentate bridging dihydrogenphosphate groups. The shape of the chain anions is very close in both modifications and characteristic for ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller ordering.The Mn—O‐bonds along the chain direction are strongly elongated (distances 2.16 to 2.21 Å) whereas all Mn—F bond (1.81—1.88Å) are ruther short. On a large single crystal of form I 1D‐antiferromagnetic properties were found. By fitting an appropriate model based on the temperature dependence of the correlation lengths using an anisotropy constant D/k = —2.9 K a remarkably high exchange energy of J/k = —1.6(1) K along the chains could be determined.     

Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung in pipzH2[Mn2F8], einem Fluoromanganat(III) mit neuer Schichtstruktur

Jahn‐Teller Ordering in pipzH₂[Mn₂F₈], a Fluoromanganate(III) with a New Layer Structure From a solution of (pipzH₂)[MnF₂(HPO₄)(H₂O)]·(H₂PO₄) in concentrated hydrofluoric acid the title compound could be crystallized and was characterized by X‐ray crystallography: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 13.275(1), 10.400(1), c = 14.928(1) Å, β = 112.337(8), R = 0.0265. The structure shows a new type of anionic layers [Mn₂F₈] built of dimers of edge‐sharing [MnF₆] octahedra linked via common vertices, alternating with layers of piperazinium(2+) cations. A dense network of hydrogen bonds N–H···F achieves a strong 3D interconnection. Strong elongation of the [MnF₆] octahedra is observed due to the Jahn‐Teller effect.The long axes show parallel (ferrodistortive) orientation within the dimers, but the ordering between the dimers is antiferrodistorive. A possible mechanism of formation is discussed on the basis of precursor structures.     

Pseudo‐Isomerie durch unterschiedliche Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung: Die Kristallstrukturen des Hemihydrats und des Monohydrats von (pyH)[MnF(H2PO4)(HPO4)]

Pseudo‐Isomerism by Different Jahn‐Teller Ordering: Crystal Structures of the Hemihydrate and the Monohydrate of (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)] With pyridinium counter cations (pyH⁺) the Mn^III fluoride phosphate anion [MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]^— can be stabilized. It forms a chain structure with Mn³⁺ ions bridged by a fluoride ion and two bidentate phosphate groups. Under sleightly differing conditions either the hemihydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·0.5H₂O ( 1 ) or the monohydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·H₂O ( 2 ) is formed. The hemihydrate 1 crystallizes monoclinic in space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 7.295(1), b = 17.052(2), c = 18.512(3) Å, β = 100.78(1)°, R = 0.033, the monohydrate triclinic in space group P1¯, Z = 2, a = 7.374(1), b = 8.628(1), c = 10.329(1) Å, α = 83.658(8)°, β = 77.833(9)°, γ = 68.544(8)°, R = 0.025. Whereas the topology of the chain anions is identical in both structures, the Jahn‐Teller effect is expressed in different ordering patterns: in 1 antiferrodistortive ordering of [MnF₂O₄] octahedra is observed, with alternating elongation of an F—Mn—F‐axis or a O—Mn—O‐axis, respectively. This leads to asymmetrical Mn—F—Mn‐bridges. In 2 ferrodistortive ordering is found, with elongation of all octahedra along the F—Mn—F‐axis. Thus, symmetrical bridges are formed with long Mn—F distances. This unusual pseudo‐isomerism is attributed to the differing influence of inter‐chain hydrogen bonds.     

Struktur und magnetische Eigenschaften von Bis{3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolium(1+)}pentafluoromanganat(III): (3‐atriazH)2[MnF5]

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Bis{3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolium(1+)}pentafluoromanganate(III): (3‐atriazH)₂[MnF₅] The crystal structure of (3‐atriazH)₂[MnF₅], space group P1, Z = 4, a = 8.007(1) Å, b = 11.390(1) Å, c = 12.788(1) Å, α = 85.19(1)°, β = 71.81(1)°, γ = 73.87(1)°, R = 0.034, is built by octahedral trans‐chain anions [MnF₅]^2–_∞ separated by the mono‐protonated organic amine cations. The [MnF₆] octahedra are strongly elongated along the chain axis (<Mn–F_ax> 2.135 Å, <Mn–F_eq> 1.842 Å), mainly due to the Jahn‐Teller effect, the chains are kinked with an average bridge angle Mn–F–Mn = 139.3°. Below 66 K the compound shows 1D‐antiferromagnetism with an exchange energy of J/k = –10.8 K. 3D ordering is observed at T_N = 9.0 K. In spite of the large inter‐chain separation of 8.2 Å a remarkable inter‐chain interaction with |J′/J| = 1.3 · 10^–5 is observed, mediated probably by H‐bonds. That as well as the less favourable D/J ratio of 0.25 excludes the existence of a Haldene phase possible for Mn³⁺ (S = 2).     

Alkali-metal trifluoromonosulphatomanganates (III) A2[MnF3(SO4)] (A = NH4, Li,Na or K)

Pink-brown crystalline alkali-metal trifluoromonosulphatomanganates(III), A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] (A = NH₄, Li, Na or K), have been synthesised in high yields by reacting KMnO₄ or MnO(OH) with 40% HF and A₂SO₄ or by the reaction of MnO(OH) with 40% HF and A₂S₂O₈ (A = NH₄ or K). The chemicallly estimated oxidation state of manganese occurs between 2.9 and 3.1, and the room temperature magnetic moments lie in the range 4.0–4.2 BM. (NH₄)₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] on being pyrolysed at 340°C yields MnSO₄.     

Ein Beitrag zu Rhenium(II)‐, Osmium(II)‐ und Technetium(II)‐Thionitrosylkomplexen vom Typ [M(NS)Cl4py]—: Darstellung,Strukturen und EPR‐Spektren

A Contribution to Rhenium(II)‐, Osmium(II)‐, and Technetium(II)‐Thionitrosyl‐Complexes: Preparation, Structures, and EPR‐Spectra The reaction of [Re^VINCl₄]^— and [Os^VINCl₄]^— with S₂Cl₂ leads to the formation of the thionitrosyl complexes [M^II(NS)Cl₄]^— (M = Re, Os) which could not be isolated as pure compounds. Addition of pyridine to the reaction mixture results in the formation of the stable compounds trans‐(Ph₄P)[Os^II(NS)Cl₄py], trans‐(Hpy)[Os^II(NS)Cl₄py], trans‐(Ph₄P)[Re^II(NS)Cl₄py], and cis‐(Ph₄P)[Re^II(NS)Cl₄py]. The crystal structure analyses show for trans‐(Ph₄P)[Os^II(NS)Cl₄py] (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 12.430(3)Å, b = 18.320(4)Å, c = 15.000(3)Å, β = 114.20(3)°, Z = 4), trans‐(Hpy)[Os^II(NS)Cl₄py] (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 7.689(1)Å, b = 10.202(2)Å, c = 20.485(5)Å, β = 92.878(4)°, Z = 4), trans‐(Ph₄P)[Re^II(NS)Cl₄py] (triclinic, P1¯, a = 9.331(5)Å, b = 12.068(5)Å, c = 15.411(5)Å, α = 105.25(1)°, β = 90.23(1)°, γ = 91.62(1)°, Z = 2), and cis‐(Ph₄P)[Re^II(NS)Cl₄py] (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 10.361(1)Å, b = 16.091(2)Å, c = 17.835(2)Å, β = 90.524(2)°, Z = 4) M‐N‐S angles in the range 168‐175°. This indicates a nearly linear coordination of the NS ligand. The metal atom is octahedrally coordinated in all cases. The rhenium(II) thionitrosyl complexes (5d⁵ “low‐spin” configuration, S = 1/2) are studied by EPR in the temperature range 295 > T > 130 K. In addition to the detection of the complexes formed during the reaction of [Re^VINCl₄]^— with S₂Cl₂ EPR investigations on diamagnetically diluted powders and single crystals of the system (Ph₄P)[Re^II/Os^II(NS)Cl₄py] are reported. The ^{185, 187}Re hyperfine parameters are used to get information about the spin‐density distribution of the unpaired electron in the complexes under study. [Tc^VINCl₄]^— reacts with S₂Cl₂ under formation of [Tc^II(NS)Cl₄]^— which is not stable and decomposes under S₈ elimination and rebuilding of [Tc^VINCl₄]^— as found by EPR monitoring of the reaction.     

Variation of 2 D Hydrogen Bond Topology in Diaqua-tetrafluoromanganates(III): 2-picoH[MnF4(H2O)2], TMEDAH2[MnF4(H2O)2]2, and TMBDAH2[MnF4(H2O)2]2

The crystal structures of three new diaqua-tetrafluoro-manganate(III) compounds with different organic N-cations have been determined: 2-picoH[MnF₄(H₂O)₂] 1 (2-pico = 2-methyl-pyridine), space group P2₁/c, a = 9.439, b = 13.662, c = 7.641 Å, β = 91.31°; R = 0.059; TMEDAH₂[MnF₄(H₂O)₂]₂ 2 (TMEDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl ethane diamine), space group P2₁/c, a = 5.421, b = 15.970, c = 9.677 Å, β = 96.37°, R = 0.031, and TMBDAH₂[MnF₄(H₂O)₂]₂ 3 (TMBDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,4-butane-diamine), space group P2₁/n, a = 12.631, b = 5.577, c = 12.976 Å, β = 98.10°, R = 0.040. All three compounds show 2 D H-bonding networks of [MnF₄(H₂O)₂]^– anions separated by the organic cations. However, the topology of the anionic H-bonding nets is different for each compound. The anions are strongly elongated by the Jahn-Teller effect and are arranged in a ferrodistortive way in compounds 1 and 2 , whereas in compound 3 the arrangement is described as in a herringbone-like antiferrodistortive variant.

The average bond lengths in the symmetrical coordinated axes are Pt—F = 1.93 ( 2 , 3 ) and Pt—O = 1.987 ( 2 ) and in the F^•—Pt—O′‐axes Pt—F^• = 1.957 and Pt—O′ = 1.977Å ( 3 ).

Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved. The NMR shifts are δ(¹⁹⁵Pt) = 8485 ( 1 ), 8597 ( 2 ) and 10048 ppm ( 3 ), δ(¹⁹F) = —350 ( 2 ) and —352 ( 3 ) and δ(¹⁹F^•) = —323 ( 1 ) and —326 ppm ( 3 ) with the coupling constants ¹J(PtF) = 1784 ( 2 ) and 1864 ( 3 ) and ¹J(PtF^•) = 1525 ( 1 ) and 1638 Hz ( 3 ).

Darstellung,spektroskopische Charakterisierung und Normalkoordinatenanalyse der bindungsisomeren Tetrachloroiodoselenocyanatoosmate(IV). Kristallstruktur von trans‐(PPh4)2[OsCl4I(NCSe)]

Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of Linkage Isomeric Pentachloroiodoselenocyanatoosmates(IV). Crystal Structure of trans‐(PPh₄)₂[OsCl₄I(NCSe)] By treatment of the solution of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[OsCl₅I] in dichloromethane with suspended Pb(SeCN)₂ the linkage isomers trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[OsCl₄I(NCSe)] ( 1 ) and trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[OsCl₄I(SeCN)] ( 2 ) are formed, which have been separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The X‐Ray structure determination on a single crystal of trans‐(PPh₄)₂[OsCl₄I(NCSe)] (triclinic, space group P1¯, a = 10.8950(13), b = 11.076(2), c = 20.980(2)Å, α = 96.940(10), β = 98.747(9), γ = 104.419(11)°, Z = 2) reveals, that the nearly linear selenocyanate group in trans position to the iodine atom is coordinated with the Os‐N‐C angle of 171.1°. Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination ( 1 ) and estimated data ( 2 ) the IR and Raman spectra of both linkage isomers are assigned by normal coordinate analysis.

Doppelkettenstruktur von (pipzH2)[MnF2(HPO4)(H2O)](H2PO4)

By adding piperazine to a hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III) fluoride, the fluoride phosphate (pipzH₂)[MnF₂(HPO₄)(H₂O)](H₂PO₄) can be crystallized. Its structure is built by piperazinium(2+) cations, (H₂PO₄)^? anions, and an anionic double‐chain of [HPO₄] tetrahedra and [MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra. The structure is triclinic, space group P , Z = 2, a = 622.97(4), b = 923.46(6), c = 1183.62(7) pm, α = 98.343(6)°, β = 100.747(7)°, γ = 107.642(5)°, R = 0.0289. It is worth noting that a ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller order is observed with [MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra strongly elongated along the F–Mn–OH₂ axes perpendicular to the chain plane. The structure is stabilized by very strong hydrogen bonds.     

Über Reaktionen von Hexachlorodiberyllat mit Trimethylsilyl‐N‐dimethylamid. Die Kristallstrukturen von (Ph4P)3[Be2Cl5(OSiMe3)][BeCl3(Me2NSiMe3)], (Ph4P)[BeCl3(HNMe2)] und (Ph4P)(H2NMe2)[BeCl4]

On Reactions of Hexachlorodiberyllate with Trimethylsilyl‐N‐dimethylamide. Crystal Structures of (Ph₄P)₃[Be₂Cl₅(OSiMe₃)][BeCl₃(Me₂NSiMe₃)], (Ph₄P)[BeCl₃(HNMe₂)], and (Ph₄P)(H₂NMe₂)[BeCl₄] Reactions of bis‐tetraphenylphosphonium hexachlorodiberyllate, (Ph₄P)₂[Be₂Cl₆], with trimethylsilyl‐N‐dimethylamide under different conditions lead to the novel chloroberyllate derivatives (Ph₄P)₃[Be₂Cl₅(OSiMe₃)][BeCl₃(Me₂NSiMe₃)] ( 1 ), (Ph₄P)[BeCl₃(HNMe₂)] ( 2 ), and (Ph₄P)(H₂NMe₂)[BeCl₄] ( 3 ). 1 ‐ 3 were characterized by IR spectroscopy and crystal structure determinations. 1· 4CH₂Cl₂: Space group P1¯, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1115.6(1), b = 2110.7(2), c = 2145.0(3) pm, α = 71.38(1)°, β = 85.66(1)°, γ = 85.24(1)°, R₁ = 0.0732. The [Be₂Cl₅(OSiMe₃)]^2— ion in the structure of 1 is derived from the [Be₂Cl₆]^2— ion by substitution of a μ‐Cl ligand by the oxygen atom of the (OSiMe₃)^— group. The second anion, [BeCl₃(Me₂NSiMe₃)]^—, can be described as donor acceptor complex with a short Be—N bond of 179(1) pm. 2 : Space group P1¯, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1063.1(1), b = 1072.0(1), c = 1238.3(1) pm, α = 87.55(1)°, β = 74.86(1)°, γ = 69.73(1)°, R₁ = 0.0299. The anion of 2 forms a centrosymmetric dimer [BeCl₃(HNMe₂)]₂^2— via N—H···Cl bridges of the two donor acceptor complex units with Be—N separations of 175.2(2) pm. 3 : Space group Pbca, Z = 8, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 926.9(1), b = 2164.7(1), c = 2732.7(1) pm, R₁ = 0.0495. The structure of 3 contains centrosymmetric ion quadrupoles [(Me₂NH₂)(BeCl₄)]₂^2— forming by N—H···Cl bridges between (Me₂NH₂)⁺ and [BeCl₄]^2— ions.     

[(1,4,8,11‐Tetraazacyclotetradeca‐1,4,8,11‐tetrayl)tetraacetamide‐κ6N1,N4,N8,N11,O1,O8]copper(II) sulfate 4.5‐hydrate

The crystal structure of the title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₁₈H₃₆N₈O₄)]SO₄·4.5H₂O, formed with the tetra­amide cyclam derivative 2‐(4,8,11‐triscarbamoyl­methyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetradec‐1‐yl)­acet­amide (TETAM), is described. The macrocycle lies on an inversion centre occupied by the hexacoordinated Cu atom. The four macrocyclic tertiary amines form the equatorial plane of an axially Jahn–Teller elongated octahedron. Two O atoms belonging to two diagonally opposite amide groups occupy the apical positions, giving rise to a trans‐III stereochemistry, while both the remaining pendant side arms extend outwards from the macrocyclic cavity and are engaged in hydrogen bonds with sulfate anions and co‐crystallized water mol­ecules.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Brucite Type Copper Hydroxide Squarate [Cu3(OH)2(C4O4)]·4H2O

Herein we report synthesis of a new brucite type copper hydroxide squarate, Cu₃(OH)₂(C₄O₄)₂·4H₂O [P2₁/c, a = 5.6437(4) Å, b = 12.8357(9) Å, c = 9.1507(6) Å, β = 95.892(1)° and Z = 2] by hydrothermal method, and its characterization by single crystal diffraction analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The rather wide spread of Cu–O bond lengths, can be primarily rationalised by the Jahn‐Teller effect, and secondarily by the connectivities of the CuO₆ octahedra.

Crystal structures of two (5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane)iron(III) complexes

Reported in this contribution are the synthesis and crystal structures of two new Fe^III complexes of 5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane (HMC), namely, dichlorido(5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane)iron(III) chloride, [FeCl₂(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)]Cl or cis‐[FeCl₂(rac‐HMC)]Cl ( 1 ), and dichlorido(5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane)iron(III) tetrachloridoferrate, [FeCl₂(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)][FeCl₄] or trans‐[FeCl₂(meso‐HMC)][FeCl₄] ( 2 ). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies revealed that both 1 and 2 adopt a pseudo‐octahedral geometry, where the macrocycles adopt folded and planar geometries, respectively. The chloride ligands in 1 are cis to each other, while those in 2 have a trans configuration. The relevant bond angles in 1 deviate substantially from an ideal octahedral coordination geometry, with the angles between the cis substituents varying from 81.55 (5) to 107.56 (4)°, and those between the trans‐ligating atoms varying from 157.76 (8) to 170.88 (3)°. In contrast, 2 adopts a less strained configuration, in which the N—Fe—N angles vary from 84.61 (8) to 95.39 (8)° and the N—Fe—Cl angles vary from 86.02 (5) to 93.98 (5)°.
