Beiträge zur Chemie und Struktur von Vanadylhalogeniden

Investigations on the Chemistry and Structure of Vanadyl-halogenides Aqueous solutions of VOI₂ can be prepared from VOSO₄ and BaI₂. By concentrating VOI · 3 H₂O is formed; but adducts of VOI₂ with DMSO and DMF can be isolated. The structure of [VO(DMSO)₅]I₂ was determined by X-ray single crystal techniques: Monoclinic; space group P2₁/c; a = 10.696; b = 10.877; c = 24.74 Å; ß = 109.87°; Z = 4. – Other new compounds are VO(OCH₃)Br · 3 pyr and VOBr₂ · 2 H₂O · 2 eth, which can be decomposed to VOBr₂. The structures of VOCl₂ and VOBr₂ were determined from crystal powders (space group I mmm). IR and reflection spectra (4–50 kK) and magnetic moments of all compounds were measured.     

Metall-Koordinationsverbindungen aus Essigsäure. I Chlorometallate(III) des Eisens,Chroms und Vanadiums

Metal Coordination Compounds Prepared in Acetic Acid. I. Chlorometalates(III) of Iron, Chromium, and Vanadium Ternary chloride-hydrates A₂MCl₅ · H₂O (A = Cs, Rb, (K)) can be precipitated with HCl from solutions of MCl₃ · 6 H₂O, (M = Fe, Cr, V) and alkali metal acetates in acetic acid. Under special conditions also compounds of the composition Cs₃MCl₆ · H₂O can be obtained. After dehydration of the solutions with acetyl chloride, anhydrous compounds are formed: Cs₃Fe₂Cl₉; A₃CrCl₆ and A₃Cr₂Cl₉ with A = Cs, Rb; Cs₃VCl₆ and Cs₃V₂Cl₉. V^III is partially oxidized to V^IV by an excess of acetyl chloride. Compounds A₂VCl₆ with A = Cs, Rb can be obtained more conveniently by the reaction of VOCl₂ · H₂O in acetic acid with acetyl chloride. The lattice parameters of some compounds were determined from powder patterns in analogy to known structure families.     

Complexation of the 2, 4, 6‐Triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine with Copper(I,II) Chlorides. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [CuCl2·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], [Cu7Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], and [Cu8Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3]·2C2H5OH

Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 reflections. Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.

Cl, O (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅] crystallizes like [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with Z = 4. The compounds are built up by isolated NH₄⁺ or Cl^? and complex MX₅Y ions. The following distances have been observed: V? N: 213.8, V? Cl: 235.8–239.1, Rh? N: 207.1–208.5, Rh? Cl: 235.5 pm. Both structures differ from the K₂PtCl₆ type mainly in the ordering of the MX₅Y polyhedra. The compounds M₂VCl₆ and M₂VOCl₅ with M = K, NH₄, Rb, and Cs crystallize with exception of the orthorhombic K₂VOCl₅ in the K₂PtCl₆ type. The ordering of the MX₅Y polyhedra in the compounds (NH₄)₂[V(NH₃)Cl₅], [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ and K₂VOCl₅ enables a closer packing.

In both compounds each benzotriazole core coordinates two copper atoms using two nitrogen atoms in 2 and 3 positions. Isolated Cu₃Cl₆ fragments in I are condensed along [001] direction into infinite chains [CuCl₂]_n in II. Finally, red crystals of II transform into colorless ones of the earlier studied copper(I) π‐complex of CuCl·C₆H₄N₃(C₃H₅) composition.

Nachweis und thermochemische Charakterisierung des Gasphasenmoleküls VOCl2

Proof of Existence and Thermochemical Characterization of the Gaseous Molecule VOCl₂ By use of the Knudsen-cell mass spectrometry the existence of VOCl₂(g). is proven. Lines of fragmentation are set up for VOCl₃(g). The vapor above V₂O₃(s) with Cl₂(g) is examined. The sublimation of VOCl₂ is measured at a temperature of 550–620 K. By 2nd law calculations the heat of sublimation is defined. The calculation for the gaseous VOCl₂ leads to Δ_BH°(VCl₂(g), 298 K) = ?(130,4 ± 1,5) kcal · mol^?1.

Synthesis of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight ethylene‐propylene copolymer via quasi‐living copolymerization with N‐heterocyclic carbene ligated vanadium complexes

The quasi‐living copolymerization of ethylene with propylene was achieved by using N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligated vanadium complex ( V3 , VOCl₃[1,3‐(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃)₂(NCH?)₂C:]) due to the stabilization of active center by the introduction of bulky and electron rich NHC ligand with bulky isopropyl substituents at the ortho positions of the phenyl rings. The weight‐average molecular weight (M_w) of the resulting copolymer increases linearly with its weight in 20 min. The ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight (UHMW) ethylene‐propylene copolymer (M_w = 1612 kg mol^?1) can be synthesized with V3 /Et₃Al₂Cl₃ catalytic system. The novel complex V4′ (VCl₃[1,3‐(2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂)₂(NCH?)₂C:]·2THF) was constructed by the introduction of two coordinated tetrahydrofuran molecules and decrease in steric hindrance at the ortho positions of phenyl rings. The UHMW ethylene‐propylene copolymer (M_w = 1167 kg mol^?1) can also be synthesized by using V4′ /Et₃Al₂Cl₃ catalytic system. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Homo‐ and Heteropentanuclear Coordination Compounds with Td Symmetry – the Solid State Structures of [MZn4(L)4(L′)6] (M = CoII or Zn; L = chloride or acac; L′ = 1,2,3‐benzotriazolate)

The syntheses of homo‐ and heteropentanuclear coordination compounds with the molecular formulae [MZn₄(L)₄(L′)₆] (M = Co^II or Zn; L = chloride or acac; L′ = 1,2,3‐benzotriazolate) are reported. These compounds display a highly symmetric coordination unit consisting of a central metal ion (M = Co^II or Zn) which is octahedrally coordinated by 6 tridentate benzotriazolate‐type ligands via their N(2) donor atom. The benzotriazolate ligands span the edges of an imaginary tetrahedron thus providing four coordination sites at the corners of the tetrahedron, which are then filled by four zinc ions. The coordination shell of the latter are completed by bidentate acetylacetonate (acac) ligands or by chloride anions, respectively. The solid state structures of two homopentanuclear metal complexes, namely [Zn₅(acac)₄(bta)₆]·4C₆H₁₂ ( 1 ) (acacH = acetylacetone; btaH = 1,2,3‐benzotriazole), and [Zn₅Cl₄(Me₂bta)₆]·2DMF ( 2 ) (Me₂btaH = 5,6‐dimethyl‐1,2,3‐benzotriazole) were determined by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The heteropentanuclear metal complex [Co^IIZn₄Cl₄(Me₂bta)₆]·2DMF ( 3 ) is isostructural with compound 2 . Compound 1 was synthesized from stoichiometric amounts of Zn(acac)₂ and btaH employing dichloromethane as solvent. The synthesis of compound 2 requires addition of an auxiliary base to the DMF solution of anhydrous ZnCl₂ and Me₂btaH. For compound 3 a stoichiometric ratio of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, anhydrous ZnCl₂ and Me₂btaH was employed during synthesis. Phase purity of all compounds was proved by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Crystal data: for 1 (C₈₀H₁₀₀N₁₈O₈Zn₅): monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 23.781(5) Å, b = 16.000(3) Å, c = 25.170(5) Å, β = 115.29(3)°, V = 8659(3) ų, Z = 4, ρ = 1.357 g cm^?3. For 2 (C₅₄H₆₂Cl₄N₂₀O₂Zn₅): cubic, space group with a = 23.367(3) Å, V = 12759(3) ų, Z = 8, ρ = 1.553 g cm^?3. For 3 (C₅₄H₆₂Cl₄CoN₂₀O₂Zn₄): cubic, space group with a = 23.443(3) Å, V = 12884(3) ų, Z = 8, ρ = 1.532 g cm^?3.

On the Coordination Behaviour of Phenylhydrazonepropanedinitriles: Preparation and Structural Characterization of Silver(I) Complexes The preparation of novel silver(I) complexes with anions of phenylhydrazonepropanedinitriles [XC₆H₄NNC(CN)₂]^— (X = H or NO₂) is described. The structures of the following complex compounds are determined by X‐ray diffraction on single crystals: [Ag{O₂NC₆H₄NNC(CN)₂}] ( 2 ), [Ag{C₆H₅NNC(CN)₂}(PPh₃)] · CH₂Cl₂ ( 3 · CH₂Cl₂), [Ag{C₆H₅NNC(CN)₂}(PPh₃)₂] · 0, 5 CH₂Cl₂ ( 4 · 0, 5 CH₂Cl₂) and [Ag(PPh₃)₄][C₆H₅NNC(CN)₂] ( 5 ). In these complexes a variety of coordination modes of the phenylhydrazonepropanedinitrile anions are observed. In 3 and 4 the phenylhydrazonide anion is coordinated via the hydrazone nitrogen atom N(2). 2 shows the structure of a coordination polymer, where the phenylhydrazone coordinates as a tridentate ligand through both nitrile nitrogen atoms and the hydrazone nitrogen atom N(2). In 5 appears a free, non coordinated phenylhydrazonide anion.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and structural characterisation of vanadium(IV) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes with arsenic donor ligands

The reaction of o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂ with VCl₄ in anhydrous CCl₄ produces orange eight-coordinate [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂], whilst in CH₂Cl₂ the product is the brown, six-coordinate [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}]. In dilute CH₂Cl₂ solution slow decomposition occurs to form the V^III complex [V₂Cl₆{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂]. Six-coordination is also found in [VCl₄{MeC(CH₂AsMe₂)₃}] and [VCl₄{Et₃As)₂]. Hydrolysis of these complexes occurs readily to form vanadyl (VO²⁺) species, pure samples of which are obtained by reaction of [VOCl₂(thf)₂(H₂O)] with the arsines to form green [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}], [VOCl₂{MeC(CH₂AsMe₂)₃}(H₂O)] and [VOCl₂(Et₃As)₂]. Green [VOCl₂(o-C₆H₄(PMe₂)₂}] is formed from [VOCl₂(thf)₂(H₂O)] and the ligand. The [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(PMe₂)₂}] decomposes in thf solution open to air to form the diphosphine dioxide complex [VO{o-C₆H₄(P(O)Me₂)₂}₂(H₂O)]Cl₂, but in contrast, the products formed from similar treatment of [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}_x] or [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}] contain the novel arsenic(V) cation [o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂Cl)(μ-O)(AsMe₂)]⁺. X-ray crystal structures are reported for [V₂Cl₆{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂], [VO(H₂O){o-C₆H₄(P(O)Me₂)₂}₂]Cl₂, [o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂Cl)(μ-O)(AsMe₂)]Cl·[VO(H₂O)₃Cl₂] and powder neutron diffraction data for [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂].

In poly[[diaquaoxido[μ₃‐trioxidoselenato(2−)]vanadium(IV)] hemihydrate], {[VO(SeO₃)(H₂O)₂]·0.5H₂O}_n, the octahedral V(H₂O)₂O₄ and pyramidal SeO₃ building units are linked by V—O—Se bonds to generate ladder‐like chains propagating along the [010] direction. A network of O—H...O hydrogen bonds helps to consolidate the structure. The O atom of the uncoordinated water molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The title compound has a similar structure to those of the reported phases [VO(OH)(H₂O)(SeO₃)]₄·2H₂O and VO(H₂O)₂(HPO₄)·2H₂O.
