Theoretical study of [Ni (H2O)n]2+(H2O)m (n ≤ 6, m ≤ 18)

The [Ni-(H(2)O)(n)](2+)(H(2)O)(m) (n ≤ 6, m ≤ 18) complexes were studied by means of first-principles all-electron calculations performed with the BPW91 gradient corrected functional and the 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets for the H, O, and Ni atoms. Triplet states were found as low-lying states for each (n, m) combination. The estimated Ni(2+)-(H(2)O)(n) binding energies (112.8-57.4 kcal/mol for the first layer and 52.0-23.0 kcal/mol for the second one) decreases and the Ni(2+)-OH(2) bond lengths lengthen as n + m increases. With six H(2)O moieties the Ni(2+) ion furnishes its first coordination sphere of octahedral geometry. Further water addition renders the formation of the second layer. The effect of Ni(2+) on the (H(2)O)(n)···(H(2)O)(m) hydrogen bond formation for several "n" and "m" combinations was studied, revealing an enhancement of this kind of bonding, which is of key importance for the stabilization and growth of the clusters. For some n + m isomers the second layer appears before the first octahedral layer is fully formed. For example, the square planar Ni(2+)-(H(2)O)(4) core originates two-dimensional 4 + 2 and 4 + 4 isomers, where each outer water molecule accepts two H-bonds, lying 2.0 kcal/mol above the 6 and 6 + 2 ground states. The clusters were also studied by IR spectra; the OH stretching vibrational frequencies allowed us to identify the outer solvation shells by the presence of red-shifted hydrogen bond regions.     

Crystal Growth and Crystal Structures of Gold(V) Compounds: Cu(AuF6)2, Ag(AuF6)2, and O2(CuF)3(AuF6)4 ⋅ HF

Crystal growth from anhydrous hydrogen fluoride solutions of M²⁺ (M=Cu, Ag) and [AuF₆]⁻ gave M(AuF₆)₂ salts (M=Cu, Ag). Similar attempts to prepare single crystals of the corresponding nickel, zinc and magnesium salts failed. The crystal structure of Cu(AuF₆)₂ consists of layers of Cu²⁺ cations connected by [AuF₆]⁻ anions, thus forming slabs. Only van der Waals interactions exist between adjacent slabs. The crystal structure of Ag(AuF₆)₂ consists of a three-dimensional framework in which Ag⁺ cations are linked by [AuF₆]⁻ anions. Both structures are members of the M^II(X^VF₆)₂ family, in which seven different structure types have been observed to date. In the crystal structure of O₂(CuF)₃(AuF₆)₄ ⋅ HF, the bridging AuF₆ units connect [−Cu−F−Cu−F−]_∞ chains to form stacks between which O₂⁺ cations and HF molecules are located.

SOLUBLE POLY-(o, m)-TOLUIDINE

The soluble poly-o-toluidine (POT) and poly-m-toluidine (PMT) have been success-fully prepared under controlled conditions of polymerization and post-treatment, andcharacterized by IR, VPO and elemental analysis. It is found that the soluble and insol-uble polymers obtained with two different methods (Ⅰ and Ⅱ) have the similar conduc-tivity and molecular chain structure. VPO measurement shows that the number averagemolecular weight (Mn) of soluble polymers is about 3000. The mole ratio of benzoidto quinoid is about 3:1 according to ~1H-NMR and elemental analysis. Free-standingfilms of intrinsic POT and PMT have been obtained by casting their CHCl_3, THF orDMF solutions onto a glass surface.     

Syntheses, X-ray structural characterizations, and thermal stabilities of two nonclassical trinuclear vanadium(IV) complexes, (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(H2O) and (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(py), and polymeric complexes of stoichiometry (VO(O2PR2)2)∞, R2 = Ph2 and o-(CH2)2(C6H4)

The preparation and structural characterization of two trinuclear vanadium complexes, (V(3)(μ(3)-O)O(2))(μ(2)-O(2)P(CH(2)C(6)H(5))(2))(6)(H(2)O), 1, and (V(3)(μ(3)-O)O(2))(μ(2)-O(2)P(CH(2)C(6)H(5))(2))(6)(py), 2, are reported. In these nonclassical structures, the planar central core consists of the three vanadium atoms arranged in the form of an acute quasi-isosceles triangle with the central oxygen atom multiply bonded to the vanadium atom at the center of the vertex angle and weakly interacting with the two other vanadium atoms on the base sites, each of which contain one external multiply bonded oxygen atom. Reacting VO(acac)(2)in the presence of diphenylphosphinic acid affords (VO(O(2)PPh(2))(2))(∞), 3, while 2-hydroxyisophosphindoline-2-oxide at room temperature in CH(2)Cl(2) affords ((H(2)O)VO(O(2)Po-(CH(2))(2)C(6)H(4))(2))(∞), 4, and at 120 °C in EtOH yields (VO(O(2)P(o-(CH(2))(2)(C(6)H(4)))(∞), 5 on the basis of elemental analyses. The thermal and chemical stability of the complexes were assessed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The bond strengths of the vanadium atoms to the OH(2) ligand in 1 and to the NC(5)H(5) ligand in 2 were assessed at 10.7 and 42.0 kJ/mol respectively. Room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal magnetic moments for trinuclear 1 and 2 at 3.02(1) and 3.05(1) μ(B/mol), and also close to spin only values (1.73 μ(B)) values for 3, 4, and 5 at 1.77(2), 1.758(7), and 1.77(3) μ(B), respectively. Variable-temperature, solid-state magnetic susceptibility measurements were conducted on complex 2 in the temperature range of 2.0-298 K and at an applied field of 0.5 T. Magnetization measurements at 2 and 4 K confirmed a very weak magnetic interaction between the vanadyl centers.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and electrochemical studies of Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)(μ-L) (L = OH,OPPh2, PPh2)

Reaction of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ and Ph₂PH in the presence of Et₃N in THF at 0?°C immediately forms Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)(μ-OH) (1), Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)(μ-k²O,P-OPPh₂) (2), and Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-PPh₂)₂ (3) in yields of 25, 14, and 19%, respectively. Experiments confirm that Et₃N shortens the reaction time. The absence of O₂ hinders the formation of 2. The presence of H₂O can increase the yield of 1. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography and the complexes have been completely characterized by EA, IR, and ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR. Electrochemical studies reveal that they exhibit catalytic H₂-producing activities.     

The crystal structure of bis(N-pentafluorophenyl)tetraphenyl-cyclodisilazane-tetrabenzene, (Ph2SiNC6F5)2 · 4C6H6

The disilazane (Ph₂SiNC₆F₅)₂ crystallises from benzene solution with four molecules of solvent in the orthorhombic space group Pnna with a 18.182(6), b 21.480(8) and c 13.631(5) Å, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares to R 0.069 for 937 observed reflections. The Si₂N₂ ring is planar with NSiN and SiNSi angles of 85.2 and 95.5° respectively; the mean SiN distance is 1.755 Å. The C₆F₅ groups are twisted by ca. 16° from the Si₂N₂ plane and the benzene molecules are arranged face-on above and below each of the C₆F₅ groups. There are, in addition, short intermolecular contacts between four fluorines of each C₆F₅ group and hydrogen atoms from both solvate benzene and the phenyl groups of a symmetry related silazane. Attempts to refine the related (Me₂SiNC₆F₅)₂ structure were not successful, probably due to disorder.

(C₆F₅)₂SeF₂ and C₆F₅TeF₃ are formed for the first time by reacting (C₆F₅)₂SeF and (C₆F₅)₂TeF₂ with elemental flourine and XeF₂, respectively. (C₆F₅)₂SeF₂ rapidly reacts with glass, and the new compound (C₆F₅)₂SeO is isolated. The preparations, properties and ¹⁹F NMR spectra of the new compounds are described.     

An absolute integrated infrared intensity study of (η6C6H5R)Cr(CO)2(CS) (R = H,Me, Cl,CO2Me)

The absolute integrated i.r. intensities of the CO and CS stretching bands of the thiocarbonyl complexes (η⁶C₆H₅R)Cr(CO)₂(CS), where R = H, Me, Cl and CO₂Me, have been determined in CS₂ solutions. The intensities have been correlated with each other and with the band wavenumbers, and have been shown to be dependent on the nature of the substituent R in the aromatic ring. The intensities have been demonstrated to be better probes of the electronic effects occurring in these complexes than are the wavenumbers, and correlate well with the Hammett substituent parameters, σ⁰.     

Spin-glass state in Ni5(OH)6(CnH2n−4O4)2 metal-organic frameworks (n = 6, 8, 10, 12)

We present an extension of a previously published work (J. Solid State Chem. 181 (2008) 3229) concerning Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) of general formula Ni₅(OH)₆(C_nH_2n−4O₄)₂. A modified synthesis procedure comprising a room-temperature step prior to the hydrothermal treatment was employed. This preliminary step made use of peristaltic pumps allowing slow mixing of the reactants at a constant pH value. Samples of better purity and crystallinity were consequently obtained. In particular, the better crystallinity allowed us to work on two other members of the series, n = 10 and n = 12, which were characterized using synchrotron powder X-ray powder diffraction. These two compounds are isoreticular with the n = 6 and n = 8 compounds previously reported. The crystal structure incorporates the long alkane dioic acid molecules as pillars between complex inorganic layers. Samples of better purity for n = 6 and 8, as well as those of the new compounds with n = 10 and 12, gave us the opportunity to revise the magnetic properties of these MOFs. We found similar magnetic behaviors, independently of the interlayer spacing. We show that, below 19 K, these materials most probably enter a spin-glass or cluster spin-glass state rather than a three-dimensionally long-range ordered state. We link this behavior to the complex topology of the magnetic exchange interactions within the inorganic layers which is very likely to be source of magnetic frustration.     

State of uranyl silicates MII(HSiUO6)2 ·6H2O (MII=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) in aqueous solutions

Uranyl silicates with formula M^II(HSiUO₆)₂·6H₂O (M^II=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were investigated in aqueous solutions in the pH range of 0÷14. The pH interval was established where compounds preserve their composition and structure. It varies in the pH range of (3.5–4.0)÷(10.8–11.4) and depends on M^II type. Out of this pH interval investigated uranyl silicates convert to the compounds of other composition and structure, such as amorphous silica, polyuranates and hydroxides of 3d-transition elements. The solubility of M^II(HSiUO₆)₂·6H₂O was determined, it’s value changes on the several orders of magnitude from 10^?6 M in subalkali solutions to 10^?3 M in acid and strongly alkaline media. Using obtained experimental data the solubility products and solubility curves of uranyl silicates were calculated by mathematical modeling. Also the speciation diagrams of uranium (VI), silicon (IV) and M (II) in solutions and solids were plotted.     

Structurally nonrigid molecular complexes (HF)n(H2O)m (n + m ≥ 2) and their spectroscopic features

The problem of the formation and stability of structurally nonrigid, donor—acceptor molecular complexes is considered. These complexes are formed between the molecules of water and hydrogen fluoride, the latter being the hydrolysis product of the chemical, radiochemical, and metallurgical industrial wastes. Based on the results of ab initio quantum-chemical calculations of the potential energy surfaces by the Hartree—Fock—Roothaan method, the equilibrium configurations of the (H₂O) _n (HF) _m complexes (n : m = 1 : 1; 1 : 2; 2 : 1; 2 : 2; and 3 : 3) were determined. These configurations are necessary for correct interpretation of the IR absorption spectra and for routine remote monitoring of such environmentally hazardous complexes in the Earth atmosphere. The harmonic vibrational frequencies of the (H₂O) _n (HF) _m complexes (n + m 2) were calculated and the interaction energies between the monomers were found. The influence of UV radiation on the (H₂O) _n (HF) _n complexes (n = 1—3) upon the transition from the ground to the lowest excited singlet electronic state was studied. Characteristic spectroscopic features of the (H₂O) _n (HF) _m complexes were established.     

Crystal structure of CsLnFe(CN)6·5H2O (Ln=Ce,Pr, Nd), CsCeFe(CN)6·4H2O,and TlTmRu(CN)6·3H2O

We have investigated the crystal structures of CsLnFe(CN)₆·nH₂O (Ln=lanthanide, n=4,5), as well as TlTmRu(CN)₆·3H₂O. These phases can be thought of as derivatives of LnFe(CN)₆·4H₂O, where, simultaneously, an alkali ion (or Tl⁺) is introduced while the valence of Fe is reduced from Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. A new arrangement of the structural units is observed in the CsLnFe(CN)₆·5H₂O, where the coordination of the Ln-ion is changed to a bisdisphenoid. The resulting LnN₅O₃ units alternate with Fe(CN)₆ units to form an overall rocksalt-type ralted lattice that accommodates the alkali ions in interstitial sites. Due to the arrangement of the water molecules, a layer structure results.

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of binuclear metal-metal bonded molybdenum(V) and tungsten(V) thioselenohalides: Molecular structure of Mo2(μ-S2)2Cl6(SeCl2)2 and W2(μ-S2)2Cl6(SeCl2)2

Thioselenohalide complexes Mo₂(μ-S₂)₂Cl₆(SeCl₂)₂ (I), Mo₂(μ-S₂)₂Br₆(SeBr₂)₂ (II), and W₂(μ-S₂)₂Br₆(SeBr₂)₂ (III) were synthesized by the reactions of corresponding metal halides or carbonyls or molybdenum metal with excesses of S₂ X ₂+Se₂ X ₂ mixtures. The complex W₂(μ-S₂)₂Cl₆(SeCl₂)₂ (IV) was obtained by an exchange reaction between (III) and excess of Se₂Cl₂. Coordination of the neutral SeX ₂ ligands to thiohalidesM ₂(μ-S₂)₂ X ₆ results in higher thermal stability, and suggests the possibility to synthesize SeX ₂ complexes of the unstable parent tungsten thiohalides. An unusual oxidative addition reaction of (I) was detected: {fx27-1} Both (I) and (IV) were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. They are isostructural and form discrete molecules. Bridging S ₂ ^2? ligands are coordinated perpendicularly to the metal-metal bond;d(M?M)=2.8066 Å and 2.793 Å for I and IV, respectively. Nonequivalence of chlorine atoms which are bound to the metal atom, relate to nonequivalence of halogen atoms in the complexesM ₂(μ?S₂)₂ X ₈ ^2? . Chlorine atomstrans to SeCl₂ ligands form short bonds with the metal; the corresponding³⁵Cl NQR frequency is increased. The selenium dichloride ligand is ambidentate. The selenium atom binds as a donor to the metal and as an acceptor to two chlorine atoms which are also bound covalently to the same metal atom.

The nitrato groups fulfill chelate and bridging functions, complementing the coordination polyhedra of the copper atoms to distorted octahedra, where Cu-O_{NO 3} ^? = 2.517(7) Å (average). The compound has a chain structure; the chains stretching along [001] are packed pairwise according to the hexagonal law.
