Cluster self-organization of germanate systems: Suprapolyhedral precursor nanoclusters and self-assembly of CAN-Na8(Al6Ge6O24)Ge(OH)6(H2O)2 and CAN-Cs2Na6(Al6Ge6O24)Ge(OH)6) zeolite crystal structures re]20100419

Geometrical and topological analysis of zeolite crystal structures having a tetrahedral framework of the cancrinite (CAN) type, namely, (CAN) Na₈(Al₆Ge₆O₂₄)Ge(OH)₆(H₂O)₂ (acentric space group P6₃, hP64, Na-CAN) and Cs₂Na₆(Al₆Ge₆O₂₄)Ge(OH)₆ (P6₃, hP52, CsNa-CAN), is carried out with the use of computer techniques (the TOPOS 4.0 program package). An AT ₆ hexapolyhedral precursor nanocluster centered with a template cation A (Na, Cs) is identified. The topological type of a two-dimensional (2D) crystalforming T-net 4.6.12, which corresponds to a uninodal semiregular Shubnikov net, is recognized. The full 3D reconstruction of crystal structure self-assembly is performed as follows: precursor nanocluster → primary chain → microlayer → microframework → … framework. The symmetry of an AT6 precursor nanocluster is described by point group 3; the symmetry axis passes through the center of the nanocluster and cation A. The coordination number (CN) of a precursor nanocluster, which characterizes the nanocluster stacking in the macrostructure, is six. In both structures, six Na atoms and a Ge(OH)₆ polyhedral species are spacers filling the voids between AT ₆ precursor nanoclusters. The Ge(OH)₆ polyhedral species is characterized by four and two orientationally allowed positions in Na-CAN and CsNa-CAN, respectively. The minimal number of suprapolyhedral AT ₆ precursor nanoclusters required for the 3D microframework to form is 16; that is, 96 tetrahedra are involved in microframework self-assembly.

A procedure for the synthesis of Na₂[RuNOCl₅]·6H₂O is described. The complex was studied by IR spectroscopy and by thermal, X-ray phase, and X-ray diffraction analyses. Crystal data: a = 26.740(7), b = 31.581(7), c= 6.918(3) Å, V = 5842(3) ų space group Fdd2. Z = 16, d_calc= 2.103, d_exp = 2.112 g/cm³.

New ternary germanides La4Mg5Ge6 and La4Mg7Ge6: crystal structure and chemical bonding

The synthesis, structural characterization, and chemical-bonding peculiarities of the two new polar lanthanum-magnesium germanides La(4)Mg(5)Ge(6) and La(4)Mg(7)Ge(6) are reported. The crystal structures of these intermetallics were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The La(4)Mg(5)Ge(6) phase crystallizes in the orthorhombic Gd(4)Zn(5)Ge(6) structure type [Cmc2(1), oS60, Z = 4, a = 4.5030(7) ?, b = 20.085(3) ?, c = 16.207(3) ?, wR2 = 0.0451, 1470 F(2) values, 93 variables]. The La(4)Mg(7)Ge(6) phase represents a new structure type with a monoclinic unit cell [C2/m, mS34, Z = 2, a = 16.878(3) ?, b = 4.4702(9) ?, c = 12.660(3) ?, β = 122.25(3)°, wR2 = 0.0375, 1466 F(2) values, 54 variables]. Crystallographic analysis together with linear muffin-tin orbital band structure calculations reveals the presence of strongly bonded 3D polyanionic [Mg-Ge] networks balanced by positively charged La atoms in both stoichiometric compounds. The La(4)Mg(5)Ge(6) compound is related to Zintl phases, showing a prominent density of states pseudogap at the Fermi level. A distinctive feature of the La(4)Mg(5)Ge(6) structure is the presence of Ge-Ge covalent dumbbells; in La(4)Mg(7)Ge(6), the higher Mg content generates a polyanionic network consisting exclusively of Mg-Ge heterocontacts. Nevertheless, the frameworks of the two phases are structurally similar, as is highlighted in this work.

Ge4Br4[Mn(CO)5]4 and Ge6Br2[Mn(CO)5]6: first germanium cluster compounds containing Mn(CO)5 ligands

Cluster compounds of germanium exhibiting germanium-germanium bonds, where the germanium atoms are additionally bound to transition metal ligands, are rare. Here a synthetic pathway to such cluster compounds is described, starting from metastable Ge I halide solutions leading to the two cluster compounds Ge4Br4[Mn(CO)5]4 and Ge6Br2[Mn(CO)5]6, being the first examples of germanium cluster compounds bearing Mn(CO)5 ligands. The Ge6 compound exhibits a novel arrangement of germanium atoms that has not been previously observed in ligand stabilized cluster compounds of germanium, neither with organic nor with transition metal ligands. The bonding situation inside the cluster compounds is discussed, together with a possible reaction pathway that opens the way to metalloid cluster compounds of germanium exhibiting Mn(CO)5 ligands.

Transition from hydrogen atom to hydride abstraction by Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6 versus [Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6]+: O-H bond dissociation energies and the formation of Mn4O3(OH)(O2PPh2)6

Synthesis, characterization, and reactions of the novel manganese-oxo cubane complex [Mn(4)O(4)(O(2)PPh(2))(6)](ClO(4)), 1+ (ClO(4)(-)), are described. Cation 1+ is composed of the [Mn(4)O(4)](7+) core surrounded by six bidentate phosphinate ligands. The proton-coupled electron transfer (pcet) reactions of phenothiazine (pzH), the cation radical (pzH(.+)(ClO(4)(-)), and the neutral pz* radical with 1+ are reported and compared to Mn(4)O(4)(O(2)PPh(2))(6) (1). Compound 1+ (ClO(4)(-)) reacts with excess pzH via four sequential reduction steps that transfer a total of five electrons and four protons to 1+. This reaction forms the doubly dehydrated manganese cluster Mn(4)O(2)(O(2)PPh(2))(6) (2) and two water molecules derived from the corner oxygen atoms. The first pcet step forms the novel complex Mn(4)O(3)(OH)(O(2)PPh(2))(6) (1H) and 1 equiv of the pz+ cation by net hydride transfer from pzH. Spectroscopic characterization of isolated 1H is reported. Reduction of 1 by pzH or a series of para-substituted phenols also produces 1H via net H atom transfer. A lower limit to the homolytic bond dissociation energy (BDE) (1H --> 1 + H) was estimated to be >94 kcal/mol using solution phase BDEs for pzH and para-substituted phenols. The heterolytic BDE was estimated for the hydride transfer reaction 1H --> 1+ + H(-) (BDE approximately 127 kcal/mol). These comparisons reveal the O-H bond in 1H to be among the strongest of any Mn-hydroxo complex measured thus far. In three successive H atom transfer steps, 1H abstracts three hydrogen atoms from three pzH molecules to form complex 2. Complex 2 is shown to be identical to the "pinned butterfly" cluster produced by the reaction of 1 with pzH (Ruettinger, W. F.; Dismukes, G. C. Inorg. Chem. 2000, 39, 1021-1027). The Mn oxidation states in 2 are formally Mn(4)(2II,2III), and no further reduction occurs in excess pzH. By contrast, outer-sphere electron-only reductants such as cobaltacene reduce both 1+ and 1 to the all Mn(II) oxidation level and cause cluster fragmentation. The reaction of pzH(.+) with 1+ produces 1H and the pz+ cation by net hydrogen atom transfer, and terminates at 1 equiv of pzH(.+) with no further reaction at excess. By contrast, pz* does not react with 1+ at all, indicating that reduction of 1+ by electron transfer to form pz+ does not occur without a proton (pcet to 1+ is thermodynamically required). Experimental free energy changes are shown to account for these pcet reactions and the absence of electron transfer for any of the phenothiazine series. Hydrogen atom abstraction from substrates by 1 versus hydride abstraction by 1(+ )()illustrates the transition to two-electron one-proton pcet chemistry in the [Mn(4)O(4)](7+) core that is understood on the basis of free energy consideration. This transition provides a concrete example of the predicted lowest-energy pathway for the oxidation of two water molecules to H(2)O(2) as an intermediate within the photosynthetic water-oxidizing enzyme (vs sequential one-electron/proton steps). The implications for the mechanism of photosynthetic water splitting are discussed.

The crystal structure of Na4Ni7(PO4)6

Na₄Ni₇(PO₄)₆ crystallizes in the space group Cm with a = 10.550(2), b = 13.985(5), and c = 6.398(2)Å; β = 104.87(2)°. For Z = 2 the calculated density is 3.906 g/cm³ (V = 912.4 ų). Structure determination and refinement (R = 0.041, R_W = 0.045) were carried out on flux (NaF) grown crystals. The structure consists of layers of nickel-containing octahedra and phosphorus-containing tetrahedra interconnected to form a pseudocentrosymmetric framework. A layer consisting of parallel tunnels which run along the a direction contains the sodium ions in a noncentrosymmetric arrangement.     

Novel gallium phosphate framework encapsulating trinuclear Mn3(H2O)6O8 cluster: hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Mn3(H2O)6Ga4(PO4)6

A new manganese gallium phosphate, Mn3(H2O)6Ga4(PO4)6, has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions at 150 degrees C and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. It crystallized in the monoclinic space group, P2(1)/n, with a = 8.9468(4) A, b = 10.148(5) A, c = 13.5540(7) A, beta = 108.249(1) degrees, and Z = 2. The compound is unusual in that it is not only the first nonoranically templated MnGaPO phase but also the first instance where edge-shared trinuclear manganese-oxygen clusters are encapsulated in a metal phosphate lattice. The trimer involves a central Mn(H2O)4O2 octahedron, which links to two Mn (H2O)2O4 octahedra at trans edges. The Mn3(H2O)6O8 clusters reside in tunnels built from GaO5 trigonal bipyramids and PO4 tetrahedra. Our magnetic study revealed that superexchange interactions occurred between the neighboring MnII centers. A good fit of the magnetic susceptibility data for the isolated trimers was obtained by using a derived expression based on Van Vleck's equation. Unlike all existing linear trinuclear MnII complexes, the chi MT product in the range 8-4 K remains at a constant value corresponding to one spin S = 5/2 per three MnII centers. The Curie behavior at such low temperatures has been confirmed by EPR data. According to the thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) results, the title compound is thermally stable up to ca. 200 degrees C.

Its layered structure (triclinic symmetry system, a = 6.9998(1) Å, b = 9.4180(1) Å, c = 13.1094(2) Å, α = 74.815(1)°, β = 78.188(1)°, γ = 82.779(1)°, Z = 2, space group P $\bar 1$ ) is built of Na⁺ cations and [Sb₁₀F₁₈O₆(NCS)₄]^4? decanuclear complex anions that consist of two [Sb₅F₉O₃(NCS)₂]^2? pentanuclear complex anions linked by two weak Sb-F ionic bonds (2.529(2) Å). Decanuclear complex anions are linked into layers by secondary Sb…F bonds and Na-F bonds. Van der Waals interactions link these layers into a framework. The complex is stable up to 200°C.     

Na2[(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4].2H2O: crystal structure determination from combined powder diffraction and solid-state NMR

The vanadyl oxalatophosphate Na2[(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4].2H2O has been synthesized by hydrothermal treatment. Its structure has been determined and refined by combining X-ray powder diffraction and solid-state NMR techniques. It crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry in space group P2(1), a = 6.3534(1) A, b = 17.1614(3) A, c = 6.5632(1) A, beta = 106.597(1) degrees . The structure is related to that of (NH4)2[(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4].5H2O, which was previously reported. The vanadium phosphate framework consists of infinite [(VO)(HPO4)] chains of corner-sharing vanadium octahedra and hydrogenophosphate tetrahedra. The oxalate groups ensure the connection between the chains to form a 2D structure. The sodium ions and the water molecules are located between the anionic [(VO)2(HPO4)2C2O4]2- layers. The thermal decomposition has been studied in situ by temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry. It takes place in three stages, where the first two correspond to water removal and the last to the decomposition of the oxalate group and water elimination, leading to the final product NaVOPO4.
