[Ni(CH(3)COO)(2)·(NH(2)CH(2)Ph)(4)] complex was synthesized using benzylamine and nickel acetate. The molecular structure of this complex was obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry and thermal analysis. The complex crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with cell parameters a=11.234(4)?, b=6.459(2)?, c=22.647(8)?, α=90.00, β=91.149(4)°, γ=90.00, V=1642.8(10)?(3), Z=2. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to R(1)=0.0876 for 6377 observed reflections I>2σ(I). Magnetic studies for complex show the data over the whole temperature range 5-300 K are well fitted to the Curie-Weiss law with C=1.03 cm(3) K mol(-1) and θ=-1.38 K. This fitting indicates antiferromagnetic interaction between the Ni ions and the metal center exhibits distorted octahedral coordination geometries.

Compounds [Cu₂(CH₂FCOO)₄· 2CH₃CN](CH₃CN) (I) and Ag₃(CF₃COO)₃(CH₃CN)₂(II) were synthesized and studied by X-ray structural analysis. Crystals Iare monoclinic, space group C2/c, a= 27.854(6), b= 8.286(2), c= 19.428(4) Å, = 106.82(3)°, V= 4292(2) ų, Z= 8, R ₁= 0.0426; crystals IIare triclinic, space group , a= 8.676(2), b= 9.819(2), c= 11.961(2) Å, = 95.27(3), = 109.59(3)°, = 104.60(3)°, V= 911.4(3) ų, Z= 2, R ₁= 0.0252. Structure Iis composed of the structural units (lanterns) typical of copper(II) carboxylates. The presence of an additional acetonitrile molecule noncoordinated by the copper atoms makes it possible to consider compound Ias a lattice clathrate. Structure IIhas no analogs among the silver carboxylates. It simultaneously contains silver atoms with coordination numbers varying from 2 to 4.     

Co(III) and Cr(III) complexes of diphosphadithia ligands and the crystal structure of [CoCl2(L3)]PF6·CH2Cl2 (L3=Ph2P(CH2)2S(o-C6H4)S(CH2)2PPh2)

[CrX₃(thf)₃] (X=Cl or Br) reacts with L (L=L¹–L³ or Ph₂[14]aneP₂S₂) (L¹=Ph₂P(CH₂)₂S(CH₂)₂S(CH₂)₂PPh₂, L²=Ph₂P(CH₂)₂S(CH₂)₃S(CH₂)₂PPh₂, L³=Ph₂P(CH₂)₂S(o-C₆H₄)S(CH₂)₂PPh₂, Ph₂[14]aneP₂S₂=4,8-diphenyl-1,11-dithia-4,8-diphosphacyclotetradecane) and TlPF₆ in MeNO₂ solution to yield the distorted octahedral complexes [CrX₂(L)]PF₆ as green coloured solids in high yield. UV/visible spectroscopy suggests that these are cis-dihalo species and they have also been characterised by IR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and microanalyses. The Co(III) analogues [CoX₂(L)]⁺ are readily prepared in a two-stage reaction, involving treatment of CoX₂·6H₂O with L (L=L¹–L³) and NH₄PF₆ in EtOH solution to give a green/brown solid, followed by halogen oxidation of this product in CH₂Cl₂ solution using X₂/CCl₄, to give the final products as brown coloured solids. A mixture of PF₆⁻ and [CoX₄]²⁻ anions are present in the final Co(III) compounds in varying ratios. Crystal structures of [CoCl₂(L²)]₂[CoCl₄]·4H₂O and [CoCl₂(L³)]PF₆·CH₂Cl₂ confirm tetradentate P₂S₂ coordination of L in each case, with mutually cis halogens completing the distorted octahedral geometry. In both cases the complex cation adopts the cis-α form in the solid state and this is also consistent with the solution ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopic data. ⁵⁹Co NMR spectroscopy reveals a very broad single resonance at ≈3200 ppm for these species.     

Preparation and structural characterization of the hexatungsten cluster complex (EDTEH)2[W6(μ3-Cl)8Cl6], (EDTEH=(MeO2CCH2)2N(H)CH2CH2N(CH2CO2Me)2+

The hexanuclear tungsten cluster complex [W₆(₃-Cl)₈Cl₆]^2–,1 was isolated as a salt of the cation (MeO₂CCH₂)₂N(H)CH₂CH₂N(CH₂CO₂Me)₂₊, EDTEH⁺, by crystallization from methanol solvent of the product obtained from the reaction of (H₃O)₂[W₆(₃-Cl)₈Cl₃] with the disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The compound was charcterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cluster anion contains an octahedral arrangement of six tungsten atoms with chloride ligands bridging the eight triangular faces of the cluster and one chloride ligand terminally coordinated to each of the six tungsten atoms. The cation (EDTEH)⁺ achieves its positive charge by protonation of one of the nitrogen atoms. Crystal data: space group = P2₁/a,a=10.689(2) Å,b=22.931(6) Å,c=12.093(3) Å, =98.41(2)°,Z=2, 2476 reflections,R=0.028.     

Organoselenium(II) complexes containing organophosphorus ligands. Crystal and molecular structure of PhSeSP(S)Ph2, [2-{MeN(CH2CH2)2NCH2}C6H4]SeSP(S)R′2 (R′ = Ph,OPri) and [2-{O(CH2CH2)2NCH2}C6H4]SeSP(S)(OPri)2

Arylselenium(II) derivatives of dithiophosphorus ligands of type ArSeSP(S)R₂ [Ar = Ph, R = Ph (1), OPrⁱ (2); 2-[MeN(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄, R = Ph (3), OPrⁱ (4); 2-[O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂]C₆H₄, R = OPrⁱ (6)] were prepared by redistribution reactions between Ar₂Se₂ and [R₂P(S)S]₂. The derivative [2-{O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂}C₆H₄]SeSP(S)Ph₂ (5) was obtained by the salt metathesis reaction between [2-{O(CH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂}C₆H₄]SeCl and NH₄S₂PPh₂. The compounds were investigated by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se) NMR and infrared spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of 1, 3, 4 and 6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In compounds 3, 4 and 6 the N(1) atom is intramolecularly coordinated to the selenium center, resulting in a T-shaped geometry (hypervalent 10-Se-3 species). The dithiophosphorus ligands act as anisobidentate in 1 and monodentate in 3, 4 and 6. Supramolecular architectures based on intermolecular S?H and N?H contacts between molecular units are formed in the hypervalent derivatives 3 and 4, while in the compounds 1 and 6 the molecules are associated into polymeric chains through either Se?S or O?H contacts, with no further inter-chain interactions.     

The reversible adduct formation of group III trialkyls with relatively involatile phosphines; X-ray crystal structures of (Me3M)2·(Ph2PCH2)2 (M = Al,Ga, In) and (Me3Al)3·(Ph2PCH2CH2)2PPh

The following adducts of Group III trialkyls with phosphines have been prepared, either by direct reaction in hydrocarbon solution or by displacement of ether from the metal trialkyl etherate: Me₃M·PPh₃ (M = Ga, In); Me₃In·P(2-MeC₆H₄)₃; (R₃M)₂·(Ph₂PCH₂)₂ (R = Me, M = Al, Ga, In; R = Et, M = Ga, In; R = Buⁱ, M = Al); (Me₃M)₃·(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂)₂PPh (M = Al, Ga, In) and (Me₃M)₄·(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPhCH₂)₂ (M = Al, Ga, In). The compounds were analysed by ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectra of (Me₃M)₂·(Ph₂PCH₂)₂ (M = Ga, In) showed little change between 193 K and room temperature. Thermal dissociation of the adducts in vacuo gave the free metal trialkyl with no detectable contamination by the respective phosphine. Crystals of (Me₃M)₂·(Ph₂PCH₂)₂ (M = Al, Ga, In) are iso-structural and the molecules contain two distorted tetrahedral metals bridged by the (Ph₂PCH₂)₂; the MP distances are 2.544(4), 2.546(4) and 2.755(4) Å, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of (Me₃Al)₃·(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂)₂PPh shows the molecule to contain distorted tetrahedral aluminium atoms bonded to each of the three phosphorus atoms, with AlP distances of 2.536(9) and 2.510(9) Å for the terminal and central moieties, respectively; the unit cell contains two such molecules plus one benzene molecule (the crystallizing solvent).     

Heterobimetallic complexes of palladium(II) bridged by the mixed phosphine–phosphine oxide ligand Ph2PCH2CH2P(O)Ph2

The mixed phosphine–phosphine oxide Ph₂PCH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂ (dppeO) reacts with either trans-[PdCl₂(PhCN)₂], Na₂[PdCl₄] or trans-[PdCl₂(DMSO)₂] to give trans-[PdCl₂{¹-Ph₂PCH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂}₂]. Treatment of the latter with the metal chlorides, MCl₂ · nH₂O (M = Mn, Cu, Co, Zn, Hg; n = 4, 2, 6, 1, 0, respectively) or with Me₂SnCl₂ or SnCl₄ · 5H₂O, or with UO₂(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O or UO₂(OAc)₂ · 2H₂O gives heterobimetallic complexes: trans-[PdCl₂{-Ph₂PCH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂}₂MX₂] · nH₂O. The cobalt complex (MX₂ = CoCl₂) was unstable in solution (MeOH or EtOH/CHCl₃), and reverts to trans-[PdCl₂{¹-Ph₂PCH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂}₂] and CoCl₂. trans-[PdCl₂{¹-Ph₂PCH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂}₂] does not apparently react with either NiCl₂ · 6H₂O or CdCl₂ · 2.5H₂O.
