Synthesis of Isotope Enriched (CN3H6)2[57Fe(CN)5NO] starting from 57Fe

A high‐yield, mmolar‐scale synthesis of pure guanidinium nitroprusside, (CN₃H₆)₂[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO] (GNP) from iron metal is described. The iron metal contained pieces of 95.3% ⁵⁷Fe together with normal iron so that an isotope enrichment in ⁵⁷Fe of 25% was achieved. Single‐crystals of GNP could be grown in cubic shape and dimensions of about 3 × 4 × 4 mm³. The purity of the GNP product and the intermediates K₄[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₆] · 3 H₂O and Na₂[⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2 H₂O was ascertained by ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as ¹³C, ¹⁴N and ⁵⁷Fe NMR spectroscopy. The ⁵⁷Fe NMR chemical shift for [⁽⁵⁷⁾Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– in GNP was detected at +2004.0 ppm [vs Fe(CO)₅].

The synthesis, crystal structure, and physical characterization of the coordination compounds [Ni(en)2]4[Fe(CN)5NO]2[Fe(CN)6]x5H2O (1), [Ni(en)2][Fe(CN)5NO]x3H2O (2), [Mn(3-MeOsalen)(H2O)]2[Fe(CN)5NO] (3), and [Mn(5-Brsalen)]2[Fe(CN)5NO] (4) are presented. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (a = 7.407(4) A, b = 28.963(6) A, c = 14.744(5) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 103.26(4) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 2). Its structure consists of branched linear chains formed by cis-[Ni(en)2]2+ cations and ferrocyanide and nitroprusside anions. The presence of two kinds of iron(II) sites has been demonstrated by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 11.076(3) A, b = 10.983(2) A, c = 17.018(5) A, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 107.25(2) degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 4). Its structure consists of zigzag chains formed by an alternated array of cis-[Ni(en)2]2+ cations and nitroprusside anions. 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (a = 8.896(5) A, b = 10.430(5) A, c = 12.699(5) A, alpha = 71.110(5) degrees, beta = 79.990(5) degrees, gamma = 89.470(5) degrees, Z = 1). Its structure comprises neutral trinuclear bimetallic complexes in which a central [Fe(CN)5NO]2- anion is linked to two [Mn(3-MeOsalen)]+ cations. 4 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/ncc (a = 13.630(5) A, c = 21.420(8) A, Z = 4). Its structure shows an extended 2D neutral network formed by cyclic octameric [-Mn-NC-Fe-CN-]4 units. The magnetic properties of these compounds indicate the presence of quasi-isolated paramagnetic Ni2+ and Mn3+. Irradiated samples of the four compounds have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry to detect the existence of the long-lived metastable states of nitroprusside.     

Preparation of57Fe enriched K4[Fe(CN)6] and K3[Fe(CN)6]

A simple method to prepare⁵⁷Fe enriched K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆] is described. The yields of the products are much better than those reported in the literature so far. The enrichment is essential for⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer investigation in a variety of Prussiate type complexes and other inorganic compounds which are conveniently prepared from K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆]. K₄[Fe(CN)₆] was obtained by reacting freshly prepared Fe(OH)₃ with glacial acetic acid and treating with iron acetate in boiling aqueous solution of KCN. The novel feature of the procedure to obtain K₃[Fe(CN)₆] is that the oxidation of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] has been carried out in the solid state by passing chlorine gas over the powdered specimen. K₃[Fe(CN)₆] was crystallised from alkaline solution of this oxidised powder. The compounds were characterised by Mössbauer spectroscopy.

Formation and Structure of Iodotrinitrosyliron, [Fe(NO)3I]

Iodotrinitrosyliron is formed by passing a stream of nitrogen monoxide over solid diiodotetracarbonyliron or in dichloromethane solution by reaction of nitrogen monoxide with the iodo bridged diiodotetranitrosyldiiron. Solid [Fe(NO)₃I] readily loses nitrogen monoxide to give [(ON)₂Fe(μ‐I)₂Fe(NO)₂](Fe‐Fe). The structure of freshly prepared [Fe(NO)₃I] was determined by X‐ray diffraction at 200 K and shows tetrahedral coordination with N‐Fe‐N and N‐Fe‐I angles of 110.3(2)° and 108.6(2)° and bent Fe‐N‐O groups (166.5(6)°). The monomeric [Fe(NO)₃I] and the dimer [Fe(NO)₂I]₂ can be clearly distinguished by the frequencies and the ratio of the intensities of the two NO absorptions and from the latter the tetrahedral ON‐Fe‐NO angle can be derived. A short overview on nitrosyl iron halides is given.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and magnetic properties of two cyano-bridged two-dimensional assemblies [Fe(salpn)]2 [Fe(CN)5NO] and [Fe(salpn)]2[Ni(CN)4]

Two cyano-bridged assemblies, [Fe^III(salpn)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] (1) and [Fe^III (salpn)]₂[Ni^II(CN)₄] (2) [salpn = N, N-1,2-propylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], have been prepared and structurally and magnetically characterized. In each complex, [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– or [Ni(CN)₄]^2– coordinates with four [Fe(salpn)]⁺ cations using four co-planar CN^– ligands, whereas each [Fe(salpn)]⁺ links two [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– or [Ni(CN)₄]^2– ions in the trans form, which results in a two-dimensional (2D) network consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—M^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units (M = Fe or Ni). In complex (1), the NO group of [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2– remains monodentate and the bond angle of Fe^II—N—O is 180.0°. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities, measured in the 5–300 K range, show weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interactions in both complexes with the intramolecular iron(III)iron(III) exchange integrals of –0.017 cm^–1 for (1) and –0.020 cm^–1 for (2), respectively.     

Kinetics and mechanism of platinum-thallium bond formation: the binuclear [(CN)5Pt-Tl(CN)](-) and the trinuclear [(CN)5Pt-Tl-Pt(CN)5](3-) complex

Formation kinetics of the metal-metal bonded binuclear [(CN)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)](-) (1) and the trinuclear [(CN)(5)Pt-Tl-Pt(CN)(5)](3-) (2) complexes is studied, using the standard mix-and-measure spectrophotometric method. The overall reactions are Pt(CN)(4)(2-) + Tl(CN)(2)(+) <==> 1 and Pt(CN)(4)(2-) + [(CN)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)](-) <==> 2. The corresponding expressions for the pseudo-first-order rate constants are k(obs) = (k(1)[Tl(CN)(2)(+)] + k(-1))[Tl(CN)(2)(+)] (at Tl(CN)(2)(+) excess) and k(obs) = (k(2b)[Pt(CN)(4)(2-)] + k(-2b))[HCN] (at Pt(CN)(4)(2-) excess), and the computed parameters are k(1) = 1.04 +/- 0.02 M(-2) s(-1), k(-1) = k(1)/K(1) = 7 x 10(-5) M(-1) s(-1) and k(2b) = 0.45 +/- 0.04 M(-2) s(-1), K(2b) = 26 +/- 6 M(-1), k(-2b) = k(2b)/K(2b) = 0.017 M(-1) s(-1), respectively. Detailed kinetic models are proposed to rationalize the rate laws. Two important steps need to occur during the complex formation in both cases: (i) metal-metal bond formation and (ii) the coordination of the fifth cyanide to the platinum site in a nucleophilic addition. The main difference in the formation kinetics of the complexes is the nature of the cyanide donor in step ii. In the formation of [(CN)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)](-), Tl(CN)(2)(+) is the source of the cyanide ligand, while HCN is the cyanide donating agent in the formation of the trinuclear species. The combination of the results with previous data predict the following reactivity order for the nucleophilic agents: CN(-) > Tl(CN)(2)(+) > HCN.

Radical Cation Salts of Tetrathiotetracene and Tetraselenotetracene with Photochromic Anion [Fe(NO)(CN)5]2–

Radical cation salts of tetrathiotetracene (TTT) and tetraselenotetracene (TSeT) with photochromic anion [Fe(NO)(CN)₅]^2– having the compositions (TTT)₃[Fe(NO)(CN)₅] (I) and (TSeT)₃[Fe(NO)(CN)₅] (II) were synthesized. Their crystal structures and conducting and optical properties were studied. The salt structures are featured by stacks of TTT or TSeT triads. Analysis of the bond lengths in TTT and TSeT revealed localization of a charge in the triads, where one molecule is neutral and the other two molecules are charged (1+). At room temperature, the conductivity of crystals I and II along the stack direction is 6 × 10^–2 and 5–7 Ohm^–1 cm^–1, respectively. Unlike I, the temperature dependence of conductivity of II has peculiarities at 285 and 160 K due to phase transitions. The transition at 160 K was discovered also in the reflection spectra.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional mixed-valence assembly [Fe(salen)]2[Fe(CN)5NO]

A cyanide-bridged Fe^III–Fe^II mixed-valence assembly, [Fe^III(salen)]₂[Fe^II(CN)₅NO] [salen = N,N-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion], prepared by slow diffusion of an aqueous solution of Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O and a MeOH solution of [Fe(salen)NO₃] in an H tube, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, i.r. spectra and magnetic measurements. The product assumes a two-dimensional network structure consisting of pillow-like octanuclear [—Fe^II—CN—Fe^III—NC—]₄ units with dimensions: Fe^II—C = 1.942(7) Å, C—N = 1.139(9) Å, Fe^III—N = 2.173(6) Å, Fe^II—C—N = 178.0(6)°, Fe^III—N—C = 163.4(6)°. The Fe^II—N—O bond angle is linear (180.0°). The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, measured in the 4.8–300 K range, indicates the presence of a weak intralayer antiferromagnetic interaction and gives an Fe^III–Fe^III exchange integral of –0.033 cm^–1.     

Theoretical study of the photoinduced transfer among the ground state and two metastable states in [Fe(CN)5NO]2-

Ab initio calculations were performed to investigate photoinduced transfers among the ground state (GS) and two metastable states (MS1 and MS2) of [Fe(CN)5NO]2-. We obtained the global potential energy surface of the electronic ground state by a scheme of multireference singly and doubly excited configuration interaction followed by a Davidson-type quadruple correction (MRSDCI+Q). The ground state surface has three local minima corresponding to GS, MS1, and MS2. The character of bond between Fe and the nitrosyl group are discussed. We carried out calculations of the lower five electronic excited states by MRSDCI+Q. The main configurations of these lower five excited states were represented by the dFe-->pi*NO transition accompanied by considerable back-donation. The potential energy surfaces of the six states, including the ground state, were obtained by state averaged complete active space self-consistent field calculations. The surfaces have several conical intersections and avoided crossings in the reaction pathway. The photoinduced transfers among GS, MS1, and MS2 are caused by the nonadiabatic effect near these crossings.     

Fe L-edge XAS studies of K4[Fe(CN)6] and K3[Fe(CN)6]: a direct probe of back-bonding

Distinct spectral features at the Fe L-edge of the two compounds K3[Fe(CN)6] and K4[Fe(CN)6] have been identified and characterized as arising from contributions of the ligand pi orbitals due to metal-to-ligand back-bonding. In addition, the L-edge energy shifts and total intensities allow changes in the ligand field and effective nuclear charge to be determined. It is found that the ligand field term dominates the edge energy shift. The results of the experimental analysis were compared to BP86 DFT calculations. The overall agreement between the calculations and experiment is good; however, a larger difference in the amount of pi back-donation between Fe(II) and Fe(III) is found experimentally. The analysis of L-edge spectral shape, energy shift, and total intensity demonstrates that Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides a direct probe of metal-to-ligand back-bonding.
