Preparation,crystal structure,and infrared characterization of the first thiocyanato-oxy-antimonate(III) [(CH3)4N]2[Sb6O4(NCS)12]

The salt [(CH₃)₄N]₂[Sb₆O₄(NCS)₁₂] is the first identified thiocyanato-oxy-antimonate(III) complex. Reported are details of the synthesis, relevant infrared data and its x-ray structure. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with Z = 2 (C₁₀H₁₂N₇O₂S₆Sb₃) and unit cell dimensions a = 11.314(6), b = 12.846(3), c = 8.679(2) Å; α = 91.93(3)°, β = 90.31(3)° and γ = 99.13(3)°. It contains centrosymmetric [Sb₆O₄(NCS)₁₂]^2? anions packed with isolated tetramethyl-ammonium cations. The fundamental structural element of the anion is provided by the fusion of three SbOSbO rings forming a zig-zag portion of a ribbon, only slightly pleated. Peculiar is the unequivalence of the six thiocyanate ligands, though all primarily N-bonded to antimony atoms. Three thiocyanates are terminal while other three are asymmetrically N-bridging between two centers; two of this latter type are also interconnecting the anions via Sb???S contacts. There are three different antimony environments, the primary bonding at Sb being to one nitrogen and three oxygens, to one oxygen and three nitrogens and to two atoms of each type.

Preparation and Crystal Structure of Tetraphenylphosphonium Hexathiocyanatorhodate(III), [P(C₆H₅)₄]₃[Rh(SCN)₆] By treatment of RhCl₃ · n H₂O with KSCN in water a mixture of the linkage isomers [Rh(NCS)_n(SCN)_6–n]^3?, n = 0–2 is formed which is separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The X-ray structure determination on a single crystal of [P(C₆H₅)₄]₃[Rh(SCN)₆] (monoclinic, space group C1c1, a = 13.620(5), b = 22.929(13), c = 22.899(9) Å, β = 98.55(3)°, Z = 4) confirms the coordination of all ligands via S with the middle Rh? S distance of 2.372 Å and Rh? S? C angles of 109°. The SCN groups are nearly linear with 175° and averaged bondlengths S? C 1.63 and C? N 1.14 Å. The crystal lattice is build up by layers of complex anions and voluminous cations with no specific interactions but which are closely connected by thiocyanate ligands and phenyl rings.
