Tetranuclear Cluster Complexes of the Type [MM′(AuR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (M,M′ = Mn, Re; R = Ph, Cy, Et): Synthesis, Structure, and Topomerisation The dirhenium complex [Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 1 ) reacts at room temperature in thf solution with each two equivalents of the base DBU and of ClAuPR₃ (R = Ph, Cy, Et) in a photochemical reaction process to afford the tetranuclear clusters [Re₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 2 ), Cy ( 3 ), Et ( 4 )) in yields of 35–48%. The homologue [Mn₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 5 ) leads under the same reaction conditions to the corresponding products [Mn₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 6 ), Et ( 8 )). Also [MnRe(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax/eq‐H₂PCy)] ( 9 ) reacts under formation of [MnRe(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 10 ), Et ( 11 )). All new cluster complexes were identified by means of ¹H‐NMR, ³¹P‐NMR and ν(CO)‐IR spectroscopic measurements. 2 , 4 and 10 have also been characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analyses with crystal parameters: 2 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.256(4) Å, b = 12.326(4) Å, c = 24.200(6) Å, α = 83.77(2)°, β = 78.43(2)°, γ = 68.76(2)°, Z = 2; 4 monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 12.851(3) Å, b = 18.369(3) Å, c = 40.966(8) Å, β = 94.22(1)°, Z = 8; 10 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.083(1) Å, b = 12.185(2) Å, c = 24.017(6) Å, α = 83.49(29)°, β = 78.54(2)°, γ = 69.15(2)°, Z = 2. The trapezoid arrangement of the metal atoms in 2 and 4 show in the solid structure trans‐positioned an open and a closed Re…Au edge. In solution these edges are equivalent and, on the ³¹P NMR time scale, represent two fluxional Re–Au bonds in the course of a topomerization process. Corresponding dynamic properties were observed for the dimanganese compounds 6 and 8 but not for the related MnRe clusters 10 and 11 . 2 and 4 are the first examples of cluster compounds with a permanent Re–Au bond valence isomerization.

Syntheses and Structures of Two Selenite Chloride Hydrates: Co(HSeO3)Cl · 3 H2O and Cu(HSeO3)Cl · 2 H2O

The first selenite chloride hydrates, Co(HSeO₃)Cl · 3 H₂O and Cu(HSeO₃)Cl · 2 H₂O, have been prepared from solution and characterised by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The cobalt phase adopts an unusual “one‐dimensional” structure built up from vertex‐sharing pyramidal [HSeO₃]^2–, and octahedral [CoO₂(H₂O)₄]^2– and [CoO₂(H₂O)₂Cl₂]^4– units. Inter‐chain bonding is by way of hydrogen bonds or van der Waals' interactions. The atomic arrangement of the copper phase involves [HSeO₃]^2– pyramids and Jahn‐Teller distorted [CuCl₂(H₂O)₄] and [CuO₄Cl₂]^8– octahedra, sharing vertices by way of Cu–O–Se and Cu–Cl–Cu bonds. Crystal data: Co(HSeO₃)Cl · 3 H₂O, M_r = 276.40, triclinic, space group P 1 (No. 2), a = 7.1657(5) Å, b = 7.3714(5) Å, c = 7.7064(5) Å, α = 64.934(1)°, β = 68.894(1)°, γ = 71.795(1)°, V = 337.78(7) ų, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.036, wR(F) = 0.049.

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).

In I , seven corner‐sharing AlF₆ octahedra form a [Al₇F₃₀]^9– anion with pseudo 3 symmetry; such units are found in the pyrochlore structure. The aluminum atoms lie at the corners of two tetrahedra, linked by a common vertex. In II , similar heptamers are linked in order to build infinite (Al₇F₂₉)_n^8– chains oriented along a axis. In both compounds, organic moieties are tetra protonated and establish a system of hydrogen bonds N–H…F with four Al₇F₃₀^9– heptamers in I and with three inorganic chains in II .

Reactions of 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate, Na₂C₄H₄O₄ · 6 H₂O and MnSO₄ · H₂O in CH₃OH/H₂O yielded a mixture of [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(phen)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂] · 2 H₂O ( 1 ) and [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂][Mn(phen)₂(C₄H₄O₄)](C₄H₄O₄) · 7 H₂O ( 2 ). The crystal structure of 1 (P1 (no. 2), a = 8.257(1) Å, b = 8.395(1) Å, c = 12.879(2) Å, α = 95.33(1)°, β = 104.56(1)°, γ = 106.76(1)°, V = 814.1(2) ų, Z = 1) consists of the dinuclear [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(phen)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂] molecules and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The centrosymmetric dinuclear molecules, in which the Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms from two H₂O molecules and two bis‐monodentate succinato ligands, are assembled via π‐π stacking interactions into 2 D supramolecular layers parallel to (101) (d(Mn–O) = 2.123–2.265 Å, d(Mn–N) = 2.307 Å).

The (C₄H₄O₄)^2– anions and H₂O molecules form 3 D hydrogen bonded network and the cations and complex molecules in the tunnels along [001] and [011], respectively, are assembled via the π‐π stacking interactions into 1 D supramolecular chains. The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate chelating phen ligands and two water O atoms or two carboxyl O atoms (d(Mn–O) = 2.088–2.129 Å, d(Mn–N) = 2.277–2.355 Å). Interestingly, the succinato ligands in the complex molecules assume gauche conformation bidentately to chelate the Mn atoms into seven‐membered rings.     

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermischer Abbau von Fluoroaluminaten der Zusammensetzung (NH4)[M(H2O)6][AlF6] (M = Zn,Ni), [Zn(H2O)6][AlF5(H2O)] und (PyH)4[Al2F10] · 4 H2O

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermal Behaviour of Fluoroaluminates of the Composition (NH₄)[M(H₂O)₆](AlF₆) (M = Zn, Ni), [Zn(H₂O)₆][AlF₅(H₂O)], and (PyH)₄[Al₂F₁₀] · 4 H₂O Four new fluoroaluminates were obtained from fluoroacidic solutions of respective metal salts. The compounds of zinc ( I a : P2₁/c, a = 12.688(3), b = 6.554(1), c = 12.697(3) Å, β = 95.21(3)°, V = 1051.5(4) ų, Z = 4) and nickel ( I b : P2₁/c, a = 12.685(3), b = 6.517(1), c = 12.664(2)Å, β = 94.55(2)°, V = 1043.6(4) ų, Z = 4) are isotypic and represent a new structure type consisting of two different cations, NH₄⁺ and [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [AlF₆]^3–‐anions. [Zn(H₂O)₆][AlF₅(H₂O)] ( II : C2/m, a = 10.769(2), b = 13.747(3), c = 6.487(1)Å, β = 100.02(3)°, V = 945.7(3) ų, Z = 4) is characterized by a H₂O/F‐disorder in the [AlF₅(H₂O)]‐octahedra in two trans positions. In (PyH)₄[Al₂F₁₀] · 4 H₂O ( III : Cmc2₁, a = 15.035(3), b = 20.098(4), c = 12.750(4) Å, V = 5364(2) ų, Z = 8), bioctahedral [Al₂F₁₀]^4– anions have been found for the first time. The structures are described and discussed in comparison. The new compounds were used as precursors in order to obtain new AlF₃‐phases. However, the thermal decomposition did not result in the formation of any new metastable AlF₃‐phase. Instead, phase mixtures of either α‐AlF₃ and β‐AlF₃ or AlF₃ and MF₂ were obtained.     

Two Novel CuII Phenanthroline Adipato Complexes with π‐π Stacking Interactions: [Cu(phen)2(C6H8O4)] · 4.5 H2O and [(Cu2(phen)2Cl2)(C6H8O4)] · 4 H2O

The blue copper complex compounds [Cu(phen)₂(C₆H₈O₄)] · 4.5 H₂O ( 1 ) and [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)] · 4 H₂O ( 2 ) were synthesized from CuCl₂, 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) and adipic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O solutions. [Cu(phen)₂‐ (C₆H₈O₄)] complexes and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules form the crystal structure of ( 1 ) (P1 (no. 2), a = 10.086(2) Å, b = 11.470(2) Å, c = 16.523(3) Å, α = 99.80(1)°, β = 115.13(1)°, γ = 115.13(1)°, V = 1617.5(5) ų, Z = 2). The Cu atoms are square‐pyramidally coordinated by four N atoms of the phen ligands and one O atom of the adipate anion (d(Cu–O) = 1.989 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.032–2.040 Å, axial d(Cu–N) = 2.235 Å). π‐π stacking interactions between phen ligands are responsible for the formation of supramolecular assemblies of [Cu(phen)₂(C₆H₈O₄)] complex molecules into 1 D chains along [111]. The crystal structure of ( 2 ) shows polymeric [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2] chains (P1 (no. 2), a = 7.013(1) Å, b = 10.376(1) Å, c = 11.372(3) Å, α = 73.64(1)°, β = 78.15(2)°, γ = 81.44(1)°, V = 773.5(2) ų, Z = 1). The Cu atoms are fivefold coordinated by two Cl atoms, two N atoms of phen ligands and one O atom of the adipate anion, forming [CuCl₂N₂O] square pyramids with an axial Cl atom (d(Cu–O) = 1.958 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.017–2.033 Å, d(Cu–Cl) = 2.281 Å; axial d(Cu–Cl) = 2.724 Å). Two square pyramids are condensed via the common Cl–Cl edge to centrosymmetric [Cu₂Cl₂N₄O₂] dimers, which are connected via the adipate anions to form the [(Cu₂(phen)₂Cl₂)(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2] chains. The supramolecular 3 D network results from π‐π stacking interactions between the chains. H₂O molecules are located in tunnels.

The anion is a bi‐octahedron of two square‐pyramids, joined by a common edge. The octahedral coordination is achieved with two acetone ligands. [Ph₄P]₄[Bi₄Cl₁₆] · 3 CH₃CN crystallises in the triclinic S. G., P1, No. 2, with the lattice parameters a = 14.245(9) Å, b = 17.318(6) Å, c = 24.475(8) Å, α = 104.66(3)°, β = 95.93(3)°, γ = 106.90(4)°, V = 5486(4) ų, Z = 2. Two Bi₂Cl₈ dimers in syn‐position form the cubic anion. Lattice parameters of [Ph₄P]₃[Bi₂Cl₉] · CH₃COCH₃ are also given. The solvated compounds are desolvated at approximately 100 °C. [Ph₄P]₃[Bi₂Cl₉] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ and [Ph₄P]₃[Bi₂Cl₉] · CH₃COCH₃ show the same sequence of phase transitions after desolvation. All compounds melt into a liquid in which some order is observed and transform on cooling into the glassy state.     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalysen der Chloro-Iodo-Rhenate(IV) (CH2Py2)[ReCl5I], cis-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO,trans-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO und fac-(EtPh3P)2[ReCl3I3]

Crystal Structures, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analyses of the Chloro-Iodo-Rhenates(IV) (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I], cis -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, trans -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, and fac -(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] [ReCl₅I]^2–, cis-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, trans-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, and fac-[ReCl₃I₃]^2– have been synthesized by ligand exchange reactions of [ReI₆]^2– with HCl and are separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I] ( 1 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.685(2), b = 9.253(2), c = 12.090(4) Å, α = 90.06(2), β = 101.11(2), γ = 95.07(2)°, Z = 2), cis-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 2 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 8.662(2), b = 12.109(2), c = 12.9510(12) Å, a = 97.533(11), β = 96.82(2), γ = 89.90(2)°, Z = 2) , trans-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 3 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.315(7), b = 9.663(3), c = 15.232(3) Å, α = 80.09(2), β = 81.79(4), γ = 83.99(5)°, Z = 2) and fac-(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] ( 4 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 17.453(2), b = 13.366(1), c = 19.420(1) Å, β = 112.132(8)°, Z = 4). The crystal structure of ( 1 ) reveals a positional disorder of the anion sublattice along the asymmetric axis. Due to the stronger trans influence of I compared with Cl on asymmetric axes Cl˙–Re–I′ is caused a mean lenghthening of the Re–Cl˙ distances of 0.020 Å (0.8%) and a shortening of the Re–I′ distances of 0.035 Å (1.3%) with regard to symmetrically coordinated axes Cl–Re–Cl and I–Re–I, respectively. Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salts of all four chloro-iodo-rhenates(IV) are assigned by normal coordinate analyses. The weakening of the Re–Cl˙ bonds and the strengthening of the Re–I′ bonds is indicated by a decrease or increase of the valence force constants each by 9%.     

Compounds with Cluster Cations together with Cluster Anions [(M6X12)(EtOH)6]2+ besides [(Mo6Cl8)Cl4X2]2– (M = Nb,Ta; X = Cl,Br) – Synthesis and Crystal Structures

Crystal data: 1 , a = 10.641(2) Å, b = 13.947(2) Å, c = 15.460(3) Å, α = 65.71(2)°, β = 73.61(2)°, γ = 85.11(2)°, V = 2005.1(8) ų and Z = 1; 2 , a = 11.218(2) Å, b = 12.723(3) Å, c = 14.134(3) Å, α = 108.06(2)°, β = 101.13(2)°, γ = 91.18(2)°, V = 1874.8(7) ų and Z = 1. 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.

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.

Oxidative Addition of Diphenyl Disulfide/Thiophenol to [Mn(CO)5]−: Crystal Structure of cis-[Mn(CO)4(SPh)2]−

Oxidative addition of diphenyl disulfide to the coordinatively unsaturated [Mn(CO)₅]^? led to the formation of low-spin, six-coordinate cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^?. The complex cis-[PPN][Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂] crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 9.965(2) Å, b = 24.604(5) Å, c = 19.291(4) Å, β = 100.05(2)°, V = 4657(2)ų, and Z = 4; final R = 0.036 and R_w = 0.039. Thermal transformation of cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? to [(CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)₃Mn(CO)₃]^? was completed overnight in THF at room temperature. Additionally, reaction of [Mn(CO)₅]^? and PhSH in 1:2 mole ratio also led to cis-[PPN](Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]. Presumably, oxidative addition of PhSH to [Mn(CO)₄]^? was followed by a Lewis acid-base reaction to form cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? with evolution of H₂.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Novel Tetrameric Nitrido Complexes [{cyclo-ReN}4(S2CNEt2)6(MeOH)2(PPh3)2][BPh4]2 · CH2Cl2 · 2 H2O and [{cyclo-ReN}4(S2CNEt2)4Cl4(PMe2Ph)4] · 2 acetone

Novel tetrameric rhenium(V) complexes have been prepared from [ReNCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and [ReN(PMe₂Ph)(S₂CNEt)₂], respectively. [ReNCl₂(PPh₃)₂] reacts with 1.5 equivalents of KS₂CNEt₂ in methanol to yield the unusual dark red species [{cyclo-ReN}₄(S₂CNEt₂)₆(MeOH)₂(PPh₃)₂][BPh₄]₂ · CH₂Cl₂ · 2 H₂O ( 1 ). The crystal structure of the tetramer (triclinic, space group P1, a = 13.842(2), b = 15.213(2), c = 16.796(3) Å, α = 67.88(1), β = 70.90(1), γ = 88.05(1)°, U = 3080.2(8) ų, Z = 1) shows four rhenium atoms in a square configuration which are bridged via linear asymmetric Re≡N–Re groups with bond lengths of about 169 and 203 pm. The molecule contains a centre of symmetry with two distinct octahedral rhenium environments. The first rhenium environment contains two bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands which complete the octahedral geometry and the second contains a bidentate dithiocarbamate ligand, coordinated methanol and has retained a single phosphine coligand. A symmetric compound containing the {cyclo-ReN}₄ core is obtained from the reaction of [ReN(PMe₂Ph)(S₂CNEt₂)₂] with Al₂Cl₆ in acetone. [{cyclo-ReN}₄(S₂CNEt₂)₄Cl₄(PMe₂Ph)₄] · 2 acetone ( 2 ) forms red crystals (monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 21.432(6), b = 13.700(3), c = 28.060(9) Å, β = 102.37(1)°, U = 8048(4) Å3, Z = 4) with each rhenium atom coordinated by a bidentate dithiocarbamato, a phosphine and a chloro ligand. The non-planar 8-membered {ReN}₄ ring contains asymmetric Re≡N–Re bridges (mean values: 1.69 Å and 2.029 Å, respectively). In contrast, reaction of [ReNCl(S₂CNEt₂)(PMe₂Ph)₂] with one equivalent of K[S₂CN(Me)CH₂CH₂NMe₃]I gave the mixed dithiocarbamato-cation [ReN(S₂CNEt₂)(S₂CN(Me)CH₂CH₂NMe₃)(PMe₂Ph)]⁺ ( 3 ) which was isolated as a tetraphenylborate salt.

The crystal structure consists of dinuclear [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂]²⁺ complex cations, dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂]^2– complex anions and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. In both the centrosymmetric dinuclear cation and anion, the Cu atoms are coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, three O atoms of two μ‐OH groups and respectively one H₂O molecule or one CO₃^2– anion to complete distorted [CuN₂O₃] square‐pyramids with the H₂O molecule or the CO₃^2– anion at the apical position (equatorial d(Cu–O) = 1.939–1.961 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.026–2.051 Å and axial d(Cu–O) = 2.194, 2.252 Å). Two adjacent [CuN₂O₃] square pyramids are condensed via two μ‐OH groups. Through the interionic hydrogen bonds, the dinuclear cations and anions are linked into 1D chains with parallel phen ligands on both sides. Interdigitation of phen ligands of neighboring 1D chains generated 2D layers, between which the hydrogen bonded water molecules are sandwiched.
