The Crystal Structures of the Vanadium Weberites Na₂M^IIV^IIIF₇ (M^II ? Mn, Ni, Cu) and of NaVF₄ At single crystals of the vanadium(III) compounds NaVF₄ (a = 790.1, b = 531.7, c = 754.0 pm, β = 101.7°; P2₁/c, Z = 4), Na₂NiVF₇ (a = 726.0, b = 1031.9, c = 744.6 pm; Imma, Z = 4) and Na₂CuVF₇ (a = 717.6, b = 1043.5, c = 754.6 pm; Pmnb, Z = 4) X-ray structure determinations were performed, at Na₂MnVF₇ (a = 746.7, c = 1821.6 pm; P3₂21, Z = 6) a new refinement. NaVF₄ crystallizes in the layer structure type of NaNbO₂F₂. The fluorides Na₂M^IIVF₇ represent new orthorhombic (M^II ? Ni; Cu) resp. trigonal (M^II ? Mn) weberites. The average distances within the [VF₆] octahedra of the four compounds are in good agreement with each other and with data of related fluorides (V? F: 193.3 pm). The differences between mean bond lengths of terminal and bridging F ligands are 5% in NaVF₄, but less than 1% in the weberites. Details and data for comparison are discussed.

The anionic part of the structure contains tetrahedral layers, consisting of three‐ and nine‐membered rings. The M^II‐ions are in a distorted octahedral or tetragonal‐bipyramidal [4 + 2] (copper) coordination formed by oxygen functions of the tetrahedral layers. The resulting three‐dimensional structure contains channels running along [010]. Protonated Ethylenediamine ions are fixed within the channels by hydrogen bonds.

Both structures are built of octahedral [(M₆Cl₁₂)(EtOH)₆]²⁺ cluster cations and [(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₆]^2– cluster anions, forming distorted CsCl structure types. The Nb–Nb and Ta–Ta bond lengths of 2.904 Å and 2.872 Å (mean values), respectively, are rather short, indicating weak M–O bonds. All O atoms of coordinated EtOH molecules are involved in H bridges. The Mo–Mo distances of 2.603 Å and 2.609 Å (on average) are characteristic for the [(Mo₆Cl₈)Cl₆]^2– anion, but there is a clear correlation between the number of hydrogen bridges to the terminal Cl and the corresponding Mo–Cl distances.

Thereby isolated anions as well as one, two or three‐dimensional polymeric anionic substructures are established, in which SnI₃^– and SnI₄^2– groups are linked by weak Sn…I interactions. Examples are the iodostannates [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][SnI₄] ( 1 ), (Ph₄P)₂[Sn₂I₆] ( 2 ), [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][Sn₂I₆] ( 3 ), [Fe(dmf)₆][SnI₃]₂ ( 4 ) and (Pr₄N)[SnI₃] ( 5 ), which have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und Eigenschaften von Na2RbAuO2

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Na₂RbAuO₂ Single phase samples of Na₂RbAuO₂ were prepared by reacting RbAu with Na₂O₂ in an equimolar ratio in sealed silver cylinders (placed under argon in glas tubes) at 400 °C for two weeks. The colourless single crystals of needle shaped habitus decompose immediately when exposed to air. Na₂RbAuO₂ (Pearsoncode oP12, Pnnm, a = 992.76(6), b = 559.03(3), c = 408.64(3) pm, Z = 2, 414 reflections with I_o > 2σ(I), R₁ = 0.0363, wR₂ = 0.1057) crystallizes isotypic with Na₂KAuO₂. Besides linear [O–Au–O] units, which are characteristic for oxoaurates(I), the structure reveals uncommon low coordination numbers for the alkali metal cations.     

Kristallstrukturen,spektroskopische Charakterisierung und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von (n‐Bu4N)2[M(ECN)4] (M = Pd,Pt; E = S,Se)

Crystal Structures, Spectroscopic Analysis, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ( n ‐Bu₄N)₂[M(ECN)₄] (M = Pd, Pt; E = S, Se) The reaction of (NH₄)₂[PdCl₄] or K₂[PtCl₄] with KSCN or KSeCN in aqueous solutions yields the complex anions [Pd(SCN)₄]^2–, [Pt(SCN)₄]^2– and [Pt(SeCN)₄]^2–, which are converted into (n‐Bu₄N) salts with (n‐Bu₄N)HSO₄. (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] is formed by treatment of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[PdCl₄] with (n‐Bu₄N)SeCN in acetone. X‐ray structure determinations on single crystals of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.088(3), b = 12.481(2), c = 13.574(3) Å, β = 91.494(15)°, Z = 2), (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.171(2), b = 12.644(2), c = 13.560(2) Å, β = 91.430(11)°, Z = 2) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SeCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.167(2), b = 12.641(1), c = 13.563(2) Å, β = 91.516(18)°, Z = 2) reveal, that the compounds crystallize isotypically and the complex anions are centrosymmetric and approximate planar. In the Raman spectra the metal ligand stretching modes of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SCN)₄] ( 1 ) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SCN)₄] ( 3 ) are observed in the range of 260–303 cm^–1 and of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] ( 2 ) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SeCN)₄] ( 4 ) in the range of 171–195 cm^–1. The IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis using the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(PdS) = 1.17, f_d(PdSe) = 1.17, f_d(PtS) = 1.44 and f_d(PtSe) = 1.42 mdyn/Å. The ⁷⁷Se NMR resonances are 23 for 2 , –3 for 4 and the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR resonances 549 for 3 and 130 ppm for 4 .     

Hydroxo‐bridged Tetranuclear CuII Complexes: {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]4Cl2}Cl2 · 6 H2O and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]4(H2O)2}]Cl4 · 4 H2O

The blue tetranuclear Cu^II complexes {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]₄Cl₂}Cl₂ · 6 H₂O ( 1 ) and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]₄(H₂O)₂}Cl₄ · 4 H₂O ( 2 ) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. ( 1 ): P 1 (no. 2), a = 9.240(1) Å, b = 10.366(2) Å, c = 12.973(2) Å, α = 85.76(1)°, β = 75.94(1)°, γ = 72.94(1)°, V = 1152.2(4) ų, Z = 1; ( 2 ): P 1 (no. 2), a = 9.770(3) Å, b = 10.118(3) Å, c = 14.258(4) Å, α = 83.72(2)°, β = 70.31(1)°, γ = 70.63(1)°, V = 1252.0(9) ų, Z = 1. The building units are centrosymmetric tetranuclear {[Cu(bpy)(OH)]₄Cl₂}²⁺ and {[Cu(phen)(OH)]₄(H₂O)₂}⁴⁺ complex cations formed by condensation of four elongated square pyramids CuN₂(OH)₂L^ap with the apical ligands L^ap = Cl, H₂O, OH. The resulting [Cu₄(μ₂‐OH)₂(μ₃‐OH)₂] core has the shape of a zigzag band of three Cu₂(OH)₂ squares. The cations exhibit intramolecular and intermolecular π‐π stacking interactions and the latter form 2D layers with the non‐bonded Cl^– anions and H₂O molecules in between (bond lengths: Cu–N = 1.995–2.038 Å; Cu–O = 1.927–1.982 Å; Cu–Cl^ap = 2.563; Cu–O^ap(OH) = 2.334–2.369 Å; Cu–O^ap(H₂O) = 2.256 Å). The Cu…Cu distances of about 2.93 Å do not indicate direct interactions, but the strongly reduced magnetic moment of about 2.74 B.M. corresponds with only two unpaired electrons per formula unit of 1 (1.37 B.M./Cu) and obviously results from intramolecular spin couplings (χ_m(T‐θ) = 0.933 cm³ · mol^–1 · K with θ = –0.7 K).
