Electrochemistry and [60]fullerene displacement reactions of (dihapto-[60]fullerene) pentacarbonyl metal(0) (M = Cr, Mo, W)

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements on (eta(2)-C(60))M(CO)(5) complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) in dichloromethane show three [60]fullerene-centered and reversible reduction/oxidation waves. The E(1/2) values of these waves are shifted to positive values relative to the corresponding values of the uncoordinated [60]fullerene in the same solvent. A Jahn-Teller type distortion of the spherical surface of [60]fullerene promoted by [60]fullerene-metal pi-backbonding may explain the observed positive shifts. Lewis bases (L = piperidine and triphenyl phosphine) displace [60]fullerene from (eta(2)-C(60))M(CO)(5) complexes. Analysis of the activation parameters for the metal-[60]fullerene dissociation, the metal-[60]fullerene bond enthalpies (from DFT computations), and metal-solvent (benzene) bond enthalpies (from DFT computations) suggests appreciable solvent contribution to the transition state leading to formation of the intermediate species solvent-M(CO)(5). Appreciable transition state stabilization due to solvation of the intermediate species is inferred for M = Mo and W. For M = Cr, stabilization of the intermediate species due to solvation is not accompanied by the corresponding transition state stabilization.     

Novel Transition‐Metal (M=Cr,Mo, W,Fe) Carbonyl Complexes with Bis(guanidinato)silicon(II) Ligands

The donor‐stabilized silylene 2 (the first bis(guanidinato)silicon(II ) complex) reacts with the transition‐metal carbonyl complexes [M(CO)₆] (M=Cr, Mo, W) to form the respective silylene complexes 7 – 10 . In the reactions with [M(CO)₆] (M=Cr, Mo, W), the bis(guanidinato)silicon(II ) complex 2 behaves totally different compared with the analogous bis(amidinato)silicon(II ) complex 1 , which reacts with [M(CO)₆] as a nucleophile to replace only one of the six carbonyl groups. In contrast, the reaction of 2 leads to the novel spirocyclic compounds 7 – 9 that contain a four‐membered SiN₂C ring and a five‐membered MSiN₂C ring with a M?Si and M?N bond (nucleophilic substitution of two carbonyl groups). Compounds 7 – 10 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), crystal structure analyses, and NMR spectroscopic studies in the solid state and in solution.     

Photochemical reactions of metal carbonyls [M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo and W), Re(CO)5Br,Mn(CO)3Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh)

Five new complexes, [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] [M = Cr; (1), Mo; (2), W; (3)], [Re(CO)₄Br(apmsh)] (4) and [Mn(CO)₃(apmsh)] (5) have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of metal carbonyls [M(CO)₆] (M = Cr, Mo and W), [Re(CO)₅Br], and [Mn(CO)₃Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, f.t.-i.r. and ¹H spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies show that apmsh behaves as a monodentate ligand coordinating via the imine N donor atom in [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] (1–4) and as a tridentate ligand in (5).     

Photochemical reactions of M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo, W) with Ph2P(S)P(S)Ph2

New complexes {M(CO)₄[Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} (M = Cr, Mo and W), (1a)–(3a), [(1a), M = Cr; (2a), M = Mo; (3a), M = W] and {M₂(CO)₁₀[-Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} (M = Cr, Mo, W), [(1b)–(3b) [(1b), M = Cr; (2b), M = Mo; (3b), M = W]] have been prepared by the photochemical reaction of M(CO)₆ with Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂ and characterized by elemental analyses, f.t.-i.r. and ³¹P-(¹H)-n.m.r. spectroscopy and by FAB-mass spectrometry. The spectra suggest cis-chelate bidentate coordination of the ligand in {M(CO)₄[Ph₂P(S)P(S)Ph₂]} and cis-bridging bidentate coordination of the ligand between two metals in (M = Cr, Mo and W).     

Structural consequences of the one-electron reduction of d4 [Mo(CO)2(eta-PhC[triple bond]CPh)Tp']+ and the electronic structure of the d5 radicals [M(CO)L(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp'] {L = CO and P(OCH2)3CEt}

Reduction of [M(CO)2(eta-RC[triple bond]CR')Tp']X {Tp' = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, M = Mo, X = [PF6]-, R = R' = Ph, C6H4OMe-4 or Me; R = Ph, R' = H; M = W, X = [BF4]-, R = R' = Ph or Me; R = Ph, R' = H} with [Co(eta-C5H5)2] gave paramagnetic [M(CO)2(eta-RC[triple bond]CR')Tp'], characterised by IR and ESR spectroscopy. X-Ray structural studies on the redox pair [Mo(CO)2(eta-PhC[triple bond]CPh)Tp'] and [Mo(CO)2(eta-PhC[triple bond]CPh)Tp'][PF6] showed that oxidation is accompanied by a lengthening of the C[triple bond]C bond and shortening of the Mo-C(alkyne) bonds, consistent with removal of an electron from an orbital antibonding with respect to the Mo-alkyne bond, and with conversion of the alkyne from a three- to a four-electron donor. Reduction of [Mo(CO)(NCMe)(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp'][PF6] with [Co(eta-C5H5)2] in CH2Cl2 gives [MoCl(CO)(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp'], via nitrile substitution in [Mo(CO)(NCMe)(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp'], whereas a similar reaction with [M(CO){P(OCH2)3CEt}(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp']+ (M = Mo or W) gives the phosphite-containing radicals [M(CO){P(OCH2)3CEt}(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp']. ESR spectroscopic studies and DFT calculations on [M(CO)L(eta-MeC[triple bond]CMe)Tp'] {M = Mo or W, L = CO or P(OCH2)3CEt} show the SOMO of the neutral d5 species (the LUMO of the d4 cations) to be largely d(yz) in character although much more delocalised in the W complexes. Non-coincidence effects between the g and metal hyperfine matrices in the Mo spectra indicate hybridisation of the metal d-orbitals in the SOMO, consistent with a rotation of the coordinated alkyne about the M-C2 axis.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of group 6 transition metal complexes with terminal fluoromethylidyne (CF) ligands; a DFT/NBO/NRT comparison of bonding characteristics of terminal NO, CF and CH ligands

A family of group 6 transition metal complexes M(C(5)R(5))(CO)(2)(CF) [M = Cr, Mo, W; R = H, Me] with terminal fluoromethylidyne ligands have been synthesized through the reduction of the corresponding trifluoromethyl precursors with potassium graphite or magnesium graphite. They have been characterized spectroscopically and in some cases crystallographically, although the structures show disorder between the CO and CF ligands. The M[triple bond]CF subunit reacts as a triple bond to form cluster complexes containing μ(3)-CF ligands on reaction with Co(2)(CO)(8). Computational (DFT/NBO/NRT) studies on M(C(5)H(5))(CO)(2)(CF) [M = Cr, Mo, W] and the corresponding cationic fragments M(CO)(2)(XY)(+) illustrate significant differences in the metal-ligand bonding between CF and its isoelectronic analogue NO, as well as with its hydrocarbon analogue CH.

Cyano-bridged Mn(III)3M(III) (M(III) = Fe, Cr) complexes: synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties

Two cyano-bridged tetranuclear complexes composed of Mn(III) salen (salen = N,N'-ethylene bis(salicylideneiminate)) and hexacyanometalate(III) (M = Fe, Cr) in a stoichiometry of 3:1 have been selectively synthesized using {NH2(n-C12H25)2}3[M(III)(CN)6] (M(III) = Fe, Cr) starting materials: [{Mn(salen)(EtOH)}3{M(CN)6}] (M = Fe, 1; Cr, 2). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural with a T-shaped structure, in which [M(CN)6]3- assumes a meridional-tridentate building block to bind three [Mn(salen)(EtOH)]+ units. The strong frequency dependence and observation of hysteresis on the field dependence of the magnetization indicate that 1 is a single-molecule magnet.     

Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Komplexen des Typs cis-(RCN)3M(CO)3 (M = Cr,M, W)

Metal complexes of the type cis-(RCN)₃M(CO)₃ (M = Cr, Mo, W) have been prepared by different methods starting with M(CO)₆ or, more conveniently, with substituted derivatives of the metal hexacarbonyls. Infrared spectroscopic studies indicate that the strength of the nitrile-to-metal bond in cis-(RCN)₃M(CO)₃ is only sligthly influenced by the R group. The chromium compounds cis-(RCN)₃Cr(CO)₃ may be used as starting materials for the preparation of hexaalkylborazine-chromium-tricarbonyls.     

Cyanide-bridged linkage isomers with catecholateruthenium(II) centres bound to Mn(I) or M(alkyne) units

Two series of stable cyanide-bridged linkage isomers, namely [(o-O2C6Cl4)(Ph3P)(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)MnL(NO)(eta-C5Me5)] (XY = CN or NC, L = CNBu(t) or CNXyl) and [(o-O2C6Cl4)L(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)M(CO)(PhC-CPh)Tp'] {M = Mo or W, L = PPh3 or P(OPh)3, Tp' = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate} have been synthesised; pairs of isomers are distinguishable by IR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The molecular structure of [(o-O2C6Cl4)(Ph3P)(OC)2Ru(mu-NC)Mo(CO)(PhC-CPh)Tp'] has the catecholate-bound ruthenium atom cyanide-bridged to a Mo(CO)(PhC[triple band]CPh)Tp' unit in which the alkyne acts as a four-electron donor; the alignment of the alkyne relative to the Mo-CO vector suggests the fragment (CN)Ru(CO)2(PPh3)(o-O2C6Cl4) acts as a pi-acceptor ligand. The complexes [(o-O2C6Cl4)(Ph3P)(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)Mn(NO)L(eta-C5Me5)] undergo three sequential one-electron oxidation processes with the first and third assigned to oxidation of the ruthenium-bound o-O2C6Cl4 ligand; the second corresponds to oxidation of Mn(I) to Mn(n). The complexes [(o-O2C6Cl4)L(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)M(CO)(PhC[triple band]CPh)Tp'] are also first oxidised at the catecholate ligand; the second oxidation, and one-electron reduction, are based on the M(CO)(PhC[triple band]CPh)Tp' fragment. Chemical oxidation of [(o-O,C6Cl4)(Ph3P)(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)MnL(NO)(eta-C5Me5)] with [Fe(eta-C5H4COMe)(eta-C5H5)][BF4], or of [(o-O2C6Cl4)L(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)M(CO)(PhC[triple band]CPh)Tp'] with AgBF4, gave the paramagnetic monocations [(o-O2C6Cl4)(Ph3P)(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)MnL(NO)(eta-C5Me5)]+ and [(o-O2C6Cl4)L(OC)2Ru(mu-XY)M(CO)(PhC[triple band]CPh)Tp']+, the ESR spectra of which are consistent with ruthenium-bound semiquinone ligands. Linkage isomers are distinguishable by the magnitude of the 31P hyperfine coupling constant; complexes with N-bound Ru(o-O2C6Cl4) units also show small hyperfine coupling to the nitrogen atom of the cyanide bridge.     

Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XVIII. Darstellung und spektroskopische Untersuchung von M(CO)5L und M(CO)4L2-Komplexen [L = MenP(CF3)3−n; n = 0–3; M = Cr,Mo, W]

Perfluoromethyl-Element-Ligands. XVIII. Preparation and Spectroscopic Investigation of M(CO)₅L and M(CO)₄L₂ Complexes [L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3; M = Cr, Mo, W] M(CO)₅L and cis-M(CO)₄L₂ complexes, respectively [M = Cr, Mo, W; L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3] are prepared reacting M(CO)₅ · THF or M(CO)₄norbor with L at room temperature. The cis-compounds isomerize above 50°C yielding the trans-complexes; the rate of isomerization increases with increasing number of CF₃ groups. Thermal reaction of M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) with P(CF₃)₃ yields M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ and trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂. Introduction of three P(CF₃)₃ ligands by reaction with M(CO)₃(cycloheptatriene) (M = Cr, Mo) proves unsuccessful; besides little M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂ is formed. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., MS) methods.     

Diborane(4)-metal bonding: between hydrogen bridges and frustrated oxidative addition

The metal complexes [M{HB(hpp)}(2)(CO)(4)] (M = Cr, Mo or W) and [M(cod){HB(hpp)}(2)Cl] (M = Rh or Ir) of the doubly-base stabilized diborane(4) ligand [HB(hpp)](2) were fully characterized and their bonding nature was investigated in detail. While bonding in the group 6 complexes predominantly occurs through the hydrogen atoms, the metal-ligand interaction in the group 9 complexes can be regarded as an early stage oxidative addition of the boron-boron bond leading to diboryl compounds.     

CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF ISOMORPHOUS Cp_2Cr_2(CO)_4(μ-η2-P_2)[M(CO)_5]_2(M=Mo,W)

<正> Cp_2Cr_2(CO)_4(μ-η~2-P_2)C(M(CO)_5]_2(M=Mo(3),W(4)) are isostruc-tural to Cp2Cr2 (CO)4 (μ-η2-P2) [Cr (CO)5]2 (2) and crystallize in space group C2/c (No. 15) with a=18. 553(5),b=10. 462,c=16. 786(2)(2)A ,β=109. 84(1)°,V= 3064. 5(8)A3,Z=4,Mr = 880. 16,F(000) = 1712,and Dc=1.907 g/cm3 for 3,and a -18. 552(6),b= 10. 471 (2),c= 16. 768(2) A, β=109. 77(2)°,V = 3065(1) A3,Z = 4,Mr= 1055. 98,F(000) = 1968,and Dc = 2. 288g/cm3 for 4. This series of complexes share a virtually invariant Cr2(μ-η2-P2) central core with their parent complex Cp2Cr2-(CO)4(μ-η2-P2)(1).The Mo-P (2. 506(1) A) and W-P (2. 511(3) A) distances are longer than the corresponding Cr - P distance (2. 397(1)A) in complex 2 in accordance with the increase in covalent radii of the M atoms.     

New Group 6 metal carbonyl derivatives of 2-(2'(-pyridyl)benzimidazole: synthesis and spectroscopic studies

Reaction of Cr(CO)(6) with 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazole (pbiH) under reduced pressure resulted in the formation of the dinuclear complex [Cr(2)(CO)(6)(pbiH)(2)]. Infra-red (IR) spectroscopy revealed the presence of terminal and bridge Cr-CO bonds. Interaction of M(CO)(6), M=Cr, Mo and W, with pbiH in the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) gave the tetracarbonyl complexes [M(CO)(4)(pbiH)].bpy. Spectroscopic studies of the complexes indicated the presence of hydrogen bonding between the bpy nitrogen and the NH group of pbiH. Reactions of M(CO)(6) with pbiH in the presence of PPh(3) gave the tricarbonyl monosubstituted derivatives [M(CO)(3)(PPh(3))(pbiH)]. The spectroscopic studies of the complexes suggested the proposed structures.

Coordination Chemistry of Functional Phosphorus Ylides. VII. Pentacarbonylmetal Complexes of Cyanomethylene Triphenylphosphorane, [Ph₃P?CH(CN)] · M(CO)₅ (M = Cr, Mo, W) The pentacarbonyl complexes [Ph₃P?CH(CN)] · M(CO)₅ ( 1a –c) are obtained by reaction of the irradiated metal hexacarbonyls M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) with cyanomethylene triphenylphosphorane under exclusion of light. The IR and NMR spectra indicate N-coordination of the ligand, that means a nitrile complex. The chromium complex 1a crystallizes triclinic (space group P1 , Z = 2) with the lattice constant a = 1126.5(2), b = 1153.6(3), c = 951.4(3) pm; α = 103.47(3), β = 102.04(3), γ = 84.00(2)°. The linear array of the ligand atoms C7, C6, N forms an angle of 168.1(5)° with the metal-nitrogen bond. Significant bond distances are Cr? N = 206.2(6), N? C6 = 115.3(7), C6? C7 = 137.2(8) and P?

Microwave assisted synthesis of molybdenum and tungsten tetracarbonyl complexes with a pyrazolylpyridine ligand. Crystal structure of cis-[Mo(CO)4{ethyl[3-(2-pyridyl)-1-pyrazolyl]acetate}

We report the one-step syntheses in good yields of the complexes cis-[M(CO)4(pzpy)] {M = Mo, W; pzpy = ethyl[3-(2-pyridyl)-1-pyrazolyl]acetate} directly from the corresponding M(CO)6 starting materials by using microwave-assisted heating and reaction times of either 30 s (M = Mo) or 15 min (M = W). The structure of the molybdenum tetracarbonyl complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound is monomeric and the molybdenum atom has a highly distorted octahedral geometry. The close packing of the individual cis-[Mo(CO)4(pzpy)] species is essentially driven by the need to fill the space effectively, closely mediated by weak C-H-O and pi-pi interactions.     

Comparison of thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of oxidative addition of PhE-EPh (E = S, Se, Te) to Mo(CO)3(PR3)2, W(CO)3(PR3)2, and Mo(N[tBu]Ar)3 complexes. The role of oxidation state and ancillary ligands in metal complex induced chalcogenyl radical generation

Enthalpies of oxidative addition of PhE-EPh (E = S, Se, Te) to the M(0) complexes M(PiPr3)2(CO)3 (M = Mo, W) to form stable complexes M(*EPh)(PiPr3)2(CO)3 are reported and compared to analogous data for addition to the Mo(III) complexes Mo(N[tBu]Ar)3 (Ar = 3,5-C6H3Me2) to form diamagnetic Mo(IV) phenyl chalcogenide complexes Mo(N[tBu]Ar)3(EPh). Reactions are increasingly exothermic based on metal complex, Mo(PiPr3)2(CO)3 < W(PiPr3)2(CO)3 < Mo(N[tBu]Ar)3, and in terms of chalcogenide, PhTe-TePh < PhSe-SePh < PhS-SPh. These data are used to calculate LnM-EPh bond strengths, which are used to estimate the energetics of production of a free *EPh radical when a dichalcogenide interacts with a specific metal complex. To test these data, reactions of Mo(N[tBu]Ar)3 and Mo(PiPr3)2(CO)3 with PhSe-SePh were studied by stopped-flow kinetics. First- and second-order dependence on metal ion concentration was determined for these two complexes, respectively, in keeping with predictions based on thermochemical data. ESR data are reported for the full set of bound chalcogenyl radical complexes (PhE*)M(PiPr3)2(CO)3; g values increase on going from S to Se, to Te, and from Mo to W. Calculations of electron densities of the SOMO show increasing electron density on the chalcogen atom on going from S to Se to Te. The crystal structure of W(*TePh)(PiPr3)2(CO)3 is reported.     

M-P versus M=M bonds as protonation sites in the organophosphide-bridged complexes [M2Cp2(mu-PR2)(mu-PR'2)(CO)2], (M = Mo, W; R, R' = Ph, Et, Cy)

The unsaturated complexes [W2Cp2(mu-PR2)(mu-PR'2)(CO)2] (Cp = eta5-C5H5; R = R' = Ph, Et; R = Et, R' = Ph) react with HBF4.OEt2 at 243 K in dichloromethane solution to give the corresponding complexes [W2Cp2(H)(mu-PR2)(mu-PR'2)(CO)2]BF4, which contain a terminal hydride ligand. The latter rearrange at room temperature to give [W2Cp2(mu-H)(mu-PR2)(mu-PR'2)(CO)2]BF4, which display a bridging hydride and carbonyl ligands arranged parallel to each other (W-W = 2.7589(8) A when R = R' = Ph). This explains why the removal of a proton from the latter gives first the unstable isomer cis-[W2Cp2(mu-PPh2)2(CO)2]. The molybdenum complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-PPh2)2(CO)2] behaves similarly, and thus the thermally unstable new complexes [Mo2Cp2(H)(mu-PPh2)2(CO)2]BF4 and cis-[Mo2Cp2(mu-PPh2)2(CO)2] could be characterized. In contrast, related dimolybdenum complexes having electron-rich phosphide ligands behave differently. Thus, the complexes [Mo2Cp2(mu-PR2)2(CO)2] (R = Cy, Et) react with HBF4.OEt2 to give first the agostic type phosphine-bridged complexes [Mo2Cp2(mu-PR2)(mu-kappa2-HPR2)(CO)2]BF4 (Mo-Mo = 2.748(4) A for R = Cy). These complexes experience intramolecular exchange of the agostic H atom between the two inequivalent P positions and at room-temperature reach a proton-catalyzed equilibrium with their hydride-bridged tautomers [ratio agostic/hydride = 10 (R = Cy), 30 (R = Et)]. The mixed-phosphide complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-PCy2)(mu-PPh2)(CO)2] behaves similarly, except that protonation now occurs specifically at the dicyclohexylphosphide ligand [ratio agostic/hydride = 0.5]. The reaction of the agostic complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-PCy2)(mu-kappa2-HPCy2)(CO)2]BF4 with CN(t)Bu gave mono- or disubstituted hydride derivatives [Mo2Cp2(mu-H)(mu-PCy2)2(CO)2-x(CNtBu)x]BF4 (Mo-Mo = 2.7901(7) A for x = 1). The photochemical removal of a CO ligand from the agostic complex also gives a hydride derivative, the triply bonded complex [Mo2Cp2(H)(mu-PCy2)2(CO)]BF4 (Mo-Mo = 2.537(2) A). Protonation of [Mo2Cp2(mu-PCy2)2(mu-CO)] gives the hydroxycarbyne derivative [Mo2Cp2(mu-COH)(mu-PCy2)2]BF4, which does not transform into its hydride isomer.     

Photochemical reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-[(η<Superscript>4</Superscript>-NBD)M(CO)<Subscript>4</Subscript>] (NBD = norbornadiene; M = Cr,Mo) olefin complex with ligand,containing S and N donor atoms

New complexes cis-[M(CO)₄-DABRd] (M = Cr(I), Mo(II) and fac-[M(CO)₃-SAT] (M = Cr(III), Mo(IV)) have been synthesized by the photochemical reactions of cis-[(η⁴-NBD)M(CO)₄] (NBD is norbornadiene; M=Cr, Mo) with 5-(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene) rhodanine (DABRd) and salicylidene-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (SAT) ligands and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic studies show that the DABRd ligand acts as a bidentate ligand coordinating via both NH-(S)C=S sulfur donor atoms in I and II and SAT ligand behaves as a tridentate ligand coordinating via its all imine nitrogen-C=N-donor atoms in III and IV to the metal center. The article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Polyoxometalate-supported transition metal complexes and their charge complementarity: synthesis and characterization of [M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)2]2][M(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(Phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O (M = Al(+, Cr3+)

Two Anderson-type heteropolyanion-supported copper phenanthroline complexes, [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2]1+ (1c) and [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2]1- (1a) complement their charges in one of the title compounds [Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Al(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5H2O [1c][1a].5 H2O 1. Similar charge complementarity exists in the chromium analogue, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)2]2][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18[Cu(phen)(H2O)Cl]2].5 H2O [2c][2a].5 H2O 2. The chloride coordination to copper centers of 1a and 2a makes the charge difference. In both compounds, the geometries around copper centers are distorted square pyramidal and those around aluminum/chromium centers are distorted octahedral. Three lattice waters, from the formation of intermolecular O-H.....O hydrogen bonds, have been shown to self-assemble into an "acyclic water trimer" in the crystals of both 1 and 2. The title compounds have been synthesized in a simple one pot aqueous wet-synthesis consisting of aluminum/chromium chloride, sodium molybdate, copper nitrate, phenanthroline, and hydrochloric acid, and characterized by elemental analyses, EDAX, IR, diffuse reflectance, EPR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P. Crystal data for 1: a = 10.7618(6), b = 15.0238(8), c = 15.6648(8) angstroms, alpha = 65.4570(10), beta = 83.4420(10), gamma = 71.3230(10), V = 2182.1(2) angstroms3. Crystal data for 2: a = 10.8867(5), b = 15.2504(7), c = 15.7022(7) angstroms, alpha = 64.9850(10), beta = 83.0430(10), gamma = 71.1570(10), V = 2235.47(18) angstroms3. In the electronic reflectance spectra, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit a broad d-d band at approximately 700 nm, which is a considerable shift with respect to the value of 650-660 nm for a square-pyramidal [Cu(phen)2L] complex, indicating the coordination of [M(OH)6Mo6O18]3- POM anions (as a ligand) to the monophenanthroline copper complexes to form POM-supported copper complexes 1c, 1a, 2c, and 2a. The ESR spectrum of compound 1 shows a typical axial signal for a Cu2+ (d9) system, and that of compound 2, containing both chromium(III) and copper(II) ions, may reveal a zero-field-splitting of the central Cr3+ ion of the Anderson anion, [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3-, with an intense peak for the Cu2+ ion.
