Reaction between [MgCl2(THF)2] and [MoOCl3(THF)2]. The Crystal Structures of [Mg(THF)6][MoOCl4THF]2 and [Mg2(m̈-Cl)3(THF)6][MoOCl4THF]

Two [MoOCl₃(THF)₂] molecules are used for detachment of two Cl atoms from [MgCl₂(THF)₂]. In such reaction a green crystalline salt [Mg(THF)₆][MoOCl₄THF]₂ IV is formed. Compound IV reacts further with 3 equivalents of bis(tetrahydrofuran)magnesium dichloride, yielding a green ionic [Mg₂(m?-Cl)₃(THF)₆][MoOCl₄THF] compound V . Compound IV and V vary only in a structure of cation what indicated that the tri-m?-chlorohexakis(tetrahydrofuran)dimagnesium(II) cation in V is really formed in reaction between [Mg(THF)₆]²⁺ cation and [MgCl₂(THF)₂]. The crystal structure of compounds IV and V has been solved by X-ray diffraction method. The [Mg(THF)₆]²⁺ cation forms the tetragonally distorted octahedron with the magnesium atom in the symmetry centre. In homobimetallic di-octahedral [Mg₂(m?-Cl)₃(THF)₆]⁺ cation the magnesium atoms are surrounded by three bridging chlorine atoms and three THF molecules. The structures of [MoOCl₄THF]^? in IV and V are similar. In those anions the molybdenum atom is hexacoordinated with four chlorine atoms in equatorial plane.

Rhenium oxohalides: synthesis and crystal structures of ReO3Cl(THF)2, ReOCl4(THF), Re2O3Cl6(THF)2, and Re2O3Cl6(H2O)2

Convenient methods to prepare solvated rhenium oxochlorides are described; these compounds should serve as useful starting materials for rhenium chemistry. Treatment of perrhenic acid, HReO(4), with chlorotrimethylsilane or with thionyl chloride, followed by addition of tetrahydrofuran, forms the new oxochloride complexes ReO(3)Cl(THF)(2) and ReOCl(4)(THF), respectively. Small amounts of two dinuclear oxochlorides, which evidently resulted from adventitious hydrolysis, were also isolated: Re(2)O(3)Cl(6)L(2), where L = THF or H(2)O. All four compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The rhenium(vii) complex ReO(3)Cl(THF)(2) adopts a distorted octahedral geometry in which the three oxo ligands are in a facial arrangement; the rhenium(vi) complex ReOCl(4)(THF) adopts a trans octahedral structure. The two dinuclear rhenium(vi) compounds both have a single, nearly linear, bridging oxo group; on each Re center, the three terminal chlorides adopt a mer arrangement, and the terminal oxo and the coordinated Lewis base are mutually trans. The water ligand in the aqua complex is hydrogen bonded to nearby THF molecules. IR data are given.

Influence of 3A molecular sieve on tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate formation

Visual observation of the THF hydrate formation process in the presence of a 3A molecular sieve has been made at normal atmosphere and below a temperature of zero by microscopy. The results indicate that a 3A molecular sieve can induce the nucleation of the THF hydrate and promote the THF hydrate growth. With the existence of a 3A molecular sieve, the growth rate of THF hydrate is between 0.01 and 0.05 μm/s. In comparison with the system without any 3A molecular sieve, the growth rate increases about 4 nm/s. After the THF hydrate grows into megacryst, the crystals will recombine and partially change under the same condition.     

Thermal decomposition and kinetics studies on poly(BDFAO/THF), poly(DFAMO/THF), and poly(BDFAO/DFAMO/THF)

The thermal behavior of kaolinite–urea intercalation complex was investigated by thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the interaction mode of urea molecules intercalated into the kaolinite gallery was studied by means of molecular dynamics simulation. Three main mass losses were observed at 136 °C, in the range of 210–270 °C, and at 500 °C in the TG–DSC curves, which were, respectively, attributed to (1) melting of the surface-adsorbed urea, (2) removal of the intercalated urea, and (3) dehydroxylation of the deintercalated kaolinite. The three DSC endothermic peaks at 218, 250, and 261 °C were related to the successive removals of intercalated urea with three different distribution structures. Based on the angle between the dipole moment vector of urea and the basal surface of kaolinite, the three urea models could be described as follows: (1) Type A, the dipole moment vector is nearly parallel to the basal surface of kaolinite; (2) Type B, the dipole moment vector points to the silica tetrahedron with the angle between it and the basal surface of kaolinite ranging from 20°to 40°; and (3) Type C, the dipole moment vector is nearly perpendicular to the basal surface of kaolinite. The three distribution structures of urea molecules were validated by the results of the molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the kaolinite–urea intercalation complex investigated by TG–DSC was also supported by FTIR and XRD analyses.

A convenient route to lanthanide triiodide THF solvates. Crystal structures of LnI(3)(THF)(4) [Ln = Pr] and LnI(3)(THF)(3.5) [Ln = Nd, Gd, Y

The reaction between 1.5 equiv of elemental iodine and rare earth metals in powder form in THF at room temperature gives the rare earth triiodides LnI(3)(THF)(n)() in good yields. Purification by Soxhlet extraction of the crude solids with THF reliably gives the THF adducts LnI(3)(THF)(4) [Ln = La, Pr] and LnI(3)(THF)(3.5) [Ln = Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, Tm, Y] as microcrystalline solids. X-ray crystallography reveals that the early, larger lanthanide iodide PrI(3)(THF)(4) crystallizes as discrete molecules having a pentagonal bipyramidal structure, whereas the later, smaller lanthanide iodides LnI(3)(THF)(3.5) [Ln = Nd, Gd, Y] crystallize as solvent-separated ion pairs [LnI(2)(THF)(5)][LnI(4)(THF)(2)] in which the cations adopt a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry and the anions adopt an octahedral geometry in the solid state.     

Molecular zinc phosphonates: synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of [[(ZnMe)4(THF)2][tBuPO3]2] and [[(ZnEt)3(Zn(THF))3][tBuPO3]4[mu3-OEt]

The reactions of zinc alkyls with tert-butylphosphonic acid in 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 molar ratios afforded [[(ZnMe)(4-)(THF)2][tBuPO3]2] (2) and [[(ZnEt)3(Zn(THF))3][tBuPO3]4[mu3-OEt]] (3), respectively. Compounds 2 and 3 have been fully characterised by means of spectroscopic and analytical methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that zinc phosphonates 2 and 3 are tetra- and hexa-nuclear, respectively. This is in contrast to the dodecanuclear zinc phosphonate [[Zn2(THF)2(ZnEt)6Zn4(mu4-O)][(tBuPO3)8]] (1) obtained in a 1.5 : 1 reaction between zinc alkyls and tBuP(O)(OH)2.
