In cluster I, four Pd atoms form a planar cycle. The neighboring palladium atoms are bound by two acetate or by two mercaptide bridges, the Pd···Pd distances being 3.036–3.195 Å. In cluster II, Pd atoms form a planar six-membered cycle with Pd···Pd distances of 3.083–3.127 Å. The neighboring palladium atoms are bound by two mercaptide bridges. The formation of analogous clusters in solution was confirmed by IR spectroscopy.

On the crystal chemistry of three copper(II)-arsenates: Cu3(AsO4)2-III,Na4Cu(AsO4)2, and KCu4(AsO4)3

The three copper(II)-arsenates were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions; their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a=5.046(2) Å,b=5.417(2) Å,c=6.354(2) Å, =70.61(2)°, =86.52(2)°, =68.43(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.035 for 1674 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a=4.882(2) Å,b=5.870(2) Å,c=6.958(3) Å, =98.51(2)°, =90.76(2)°, =105.97(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.028 for 2157 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a=12.234(5) Å,b=12.438(5) Å,c=7.307(3) Å, =118.17(2)°,Z=4, space group C2/c,R=0.029 for 1896 reflections with sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Within these three compounds the Cu atoms are square planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4+1], and tetragonal bipyramidal [4+2] coordinated by O atoms; an exception is the Cu(2)^[4+1] atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: the coordination polyhedron is a representative for the transition from a tetragonal pyramid towards a trigonal bipyramid. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ the Cu(1)^[4]O₄ square and the As(1)O₄ tetrahedron share a common O—O edge of 2.428(5) Å, resulting in distortions of both the CuO₄ square and the AsO₄ tetrahedron. The two Na atoms in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂ are [6] coordinated, the K atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ is [8] coordinated by O atoms.Die drei Kupfer(II)-Arsenate wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet und ihre Kristallstrukturen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenbeugungsmethoden ermittelt:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a = 5.046(2) Å,b = 5.417(2) Å,c = 6.354(2) Å, = 70.61 (2)°, = 86.52(2)°, = 68.43(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.035 für 1674 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a = 4.882(2) Å,b = 5.870(2) Å,c = 6.958(3) Å, = 98.51(2)°, = 90.76(2)°, = 105.97(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.028 für 2157 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a = 12.234(5) Å,b = 12.438(5) Å,c = 7.307(3) Å, = 118.17(2)°,Z = 4, Raumgruppe C2/c,R = 0.029 für 1896 Reflexe mit sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Die Cu-Atome in diesen drei Verbindungen sind durch O-Atome quadratisch planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4 + 1] und tetragonal dipyramidal [4 + 2]-koordiniert; eine Ausnahme ist das Cu(2)^{[4 + 1]}-Atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: Das Koordinationspolyeder stellt einen Vertreter des Übergangs von einer tetragonalen Pyramide zu einer trigonalen Dipyramide dar. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ haben das Cu(1)^[4]O₄-Quadrat und das As(1)O₄-Tetraeder eine gemeinsame O—O-Kante von 2.428(5) Å, was eine Verzerrung der beiden Koordinationsfiguren CuO₄-Quadrat und AsO₄-Tetraeder bedingt. Die zwei Na-Atome in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₃ sind durch O-Atome [6]-koordiniert, das K-Atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ ist [8]-koordiniert.

ClusterI consists of a neutral cubane-like molecule with the core {MoCu₃S₃(S₂COEt)}²⁺, in which one corner of the cubane-like core is a novel triply bridging bidentate 1,1-dithiolato (xanthate, S₂COEt^–) ligand. ClusterII is a double cubane-like one, in which two cubane-like cores {MoCu₃S₃(SCMe₃)}²⁺ are connected by two Cu-S bonds of the triply bridging monothiolato (SCMe ₃ ^– ) ligand. Two different pathways of unit construction from a small heterometallic cluster {MoCu₂S₃}(O)(Ph₃P)₃ have been outlined. Comparisons of the selected bond lengths and bond angles for the cubane-like core {MoCu₃S₃ X} (X=Cl^–, Br^–, S₂COEt^–, SCMe ₃ ^– ) are given. Spectroscopic properties of the title clusters are also reported.

Clusters containing carbene ligands. 12. The synthesis and transformations of Os3(CO)11[C(Et)NMe2], the first simple carbene derivative of Os3(CO)12

The carbonylation of Os₂(CO)₁₀[-CH₂N(Me)C(Et)](-H),1 at 110°C/1300 psi has yielded the carbene complex Os₃(CO)₁₁[C(Et)NMe₂],2, the first simple carbene derivative of Os₃(CO)₁₂, in 68% yield. Compound2 was characterized by a single crystal structure analysis which showed the position of a dimethylaminocarbene ligand in an equatorial coordination site. Compound2 is decarbonylated at 97°C to reform1 in 59% yield. Compound1 can be decarbonylated further at 125°C to yield the new compound Os₃(CO)₉ [₃-²-C(H)N(Me)C(Et)](-H)₂,3 in 94% yield. Compound3 was characterized by a crystal structure analysis and was shown to possess a triply bridging C(H)N(Me)C(Et) ligand containing two carbene centers. Compounds1 and2 can be regenerated from3 by carbonylation with CO at 110°C/800 psi. The facile activation of the N-methyl CH bonds of the carbene ligand of2 is produced by the metal atoms adjacent to the carbene coordination site, and may be a characteristic feature of the chemistry of carbene ligands in clusters.

Mo2(O2CPh)6(PEt3)2, the second example of bridging Y11-02CR for dimolybdenum (III) compounds

From the reaction or Mo₂Cl₆(THF)₃ with excess of NaO₂CPh and PEt₃ in THF three types of crystals have been obtained and recrystallized in CH₂Cl₂. They are brown compound Mo₂(O₂CPh)₆(PEt₃)2·2CH₂Cl₂ (1), yellow-Mo₂(O₂CPb)₄ (2), and black Mo₄O₆(O₂CPh)₆(PEt₃)₂.CH₂Cl₂ (3). When a strict ratio of MO₂Cl₆(THF)₃:NaO₂CPh = 1:2 was applied, Mo₂(O₂CPh)₄(THF)₂, (4) was the only compound separated from the THF reaction mixture. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography. There are three coordination modes of benzoate in 1: bridging ²-O₂CPh, bridging ¹-O₂CPh and terminal O₂CPh groups. Compound 2 is chemically well known, but was found to pack differently from the previously reported structure. Mo₄O₆(O₂CPh)₆(PEt₃)₂·CH₂C1₂ (3) is a mixed-valence Mo (IV, V) tetranuclear compound in a butterfly arrangement. A molecule of 4 is actually a MO₂(O₂CPh)₄ molecule with two THIF molecules axially coordinating to the molybdenum atoms. The crystallographic data for these compounds are as follows: 1, triclinicPl witha = 11.612(3) Å, b = 11.970(2) Å,c=12.135(3) Å,=95.55(2)°,=117.51(2)°,98.84(2)°,V=l450.8(7) ų,Z=1,R=0.0673, and R _w ,=0.0936; 2, monoclinicP2₁/n witha = 14,437(2) Å,b=5.6168(7) Å,c=15.979(3) Å,=93,93(l)°,V=1292.7(4) ų,Z=2,R=0.0217, and R_w=0.0352; 3, trigonal (hexagonal setting)R3¯ witha=28.83(4) Å,c=44.98(2) Å,V=323570(10) ų,Z=18,R=0.067, andwR2=0203; 4 monoclinicP2₁/c witha=9.456(4) Å,b=17.757(8) Å,c=10.887(3) Å,=109.63(2)°,V=1722(2)ų Z=2,R=0.0330, andR _w = 0.0451.

The complexes [(OC)₄Os(PbMe₂)]₂ (3) and [(OC)₄OsSnBu ₂ ]₂ (4) have been prepared from be reaction of Na₂[Os(CO)₄] with Me₂PbCl₂ and Bu ₂ SnCl₂, respectively, in THF and their X-ray crystal structures determined. The red derivative,3, was light-sensitive in solution. The reactions or [(OC)₄ Os(SnMe₂)]₂ (2), or its decarbonylated derivative [Os₃(CO)₇(SnMe₂)₂]₂ (7), with olefins or phosphorus donor ligands have also been investigated, and the structures of two derivatives, viz. [Os₂(CO)₇(SnMe₂)₂(C₂H₄)] (5a) and [Os₂(CO)₇(SnMe₂)₂(PMe₃)] (6a), have been determined; the noncarbonyl ligand occupies an equatorial site in each case. The X-ray crystal structures of all these compounds, like those of [(OC)₄Os(EMe₂)]₂ (E=Ge (1), Sn (2)) which have been reported previously, show leaning of the axial carbonyl ligands toward the metal tetracycle, i.e., an umbrella effect.

A complex of uranyl perchlorate with imidazolidine-2-one as the molecular ligand, [UO₂(Imon)₄(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ (I), was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The coordination number of the uranium atom is 7. The nearest environment of the uranyl ion includes four O atoms of the imidazolidine-2-one molecules and one O atom of the water molecule. The perchlorate anions are outer-sphere ligands.
