Crystal and molecular structure of tris-(O-isopropylxanthato)-chromium(III)

The title compound has been synthesized by the reaction of CrCl₃6H₂O with K{S₂COCH(CH₃)₂} in a 13 molar ratio in an aqueous medium. It has been characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectral studies. Crystals of Cr{S₂COCH(CH₃)₂}₃ are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n witha=10.002(2),b=10.973(1),c=18.961(6) Å,=91.78(2)°,V=2079.9 ų,Z=4,D _calc=1.46 g cm^–3, monochromatic radiation (Mo-K), =0.71069 Å,=11.2 cm^–1,F(0 0 0)=948,T=295K, finalR=0.0320 for 2641 reflections.

The bond distance between oxygen atom and the carbon atom of the isopropyl group (O-C_av=1.478(4) Å) suggests that the form –S ₂ ^(–) C=O⁽⁺⁾CH(CH₃)₂ contributes significantly to the structure of the isopropyl group.

An X-ray structure analysis of three trimethylarsine-boron trihalide adducts has been undertaken. Crystals of (CH₃)₃AsBCl₃ and (CH₃)₃AsBBr₃ are monoclinic with space groupP2₁/m (No. 11) withZ=2 while those of (CH₃)₃AsBI₃ are orthorhombic with space groupPnma (No. 62) withZ=4.

These and other structural parameters are discussed with reference to previous predictions based on vibrational spectra and previous structural studies on the trimethyl-phosphine and trimethylamine adducts.

Interaction of the hydrazinophosphine Me₂NN(PPh₂)₂ with cyclopentdienyliron dicarbonyl iodide in THF yields compound1 as the sole phosphorous containing species (by³¹P{¹H} NMR). The structure of1 was inferred on the basis of spectroscopic data and solubility characteristics and confirmed via X-ray diffraction.     

Reaction of CpRu(PPh3)2Cl with six-member cyclothioethers. Structures of the [CpRu(PPh3) x L]Y complexes (L = pentamethylene sulfide, x = 2, Y = BF4 −; L = 1,3-dithiane; 1,3,5-trithiane, x = 2, Y = CF3SO3 −; L = 1,4-dithiane, x = 1, Y = BF4 −)

The synthesis of a series of ruthenium complexes with cyclothioether ligands is reported. The compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecular structures of [CpRu(PPh₃)₂(pms)]BF₄ (1), [CpRu(PPh₃)₂(1,3-dithiane)]OTfl (2), [CpRu(PPh₃)₂(1,3,5-trithiane)]OTfl (3), and [CpRu(PPh₃)(1,4-dithiane)]BF₄ (4) show chelation occurs only when the sulfur atoms are separated by at least two C atoms, creating a ligand bite size large enough to chelate. Cell parameters: 1, space group P2₁/c, a = 14.601(4), b = 19.102(10), c = 14.751(7) Å, β = 98.28(3)^○; 2, space group P2₁/c, a = 12.859(7), b = 15.576(3), c = 22.126(11) Å, β = 102.22(4)^○; 3, space group P2₁/c, a = 12.7320(20), b = 15.571(5), c = 22.287(4) Å, β = 101.812(14)^○; 4, space group Pbca, a = 11.2010(10), b = 16.321(7), c = 28.966(4) Å. Compounds 2 and 3 are X-ray isomorphous. The Ru–S bond lengths range from 2.341(3), 2.365(3) Å in compound 4 to 2.382(4) Å in compound 2. Upon chelation (compound 4), with subsequent loss of PPh₃, the Ru–P bond shortens to 2.327(3) Å. This may be due to reduced steric hindrance about the Ru atom. No evidence for C–S bond lengthening is observed.

The preparation and crystal structures of a covalent tetrafluoroborato complex, (CO)<Subscript>3</Subscript>(dppfe)MnFBF<Subscript>3</Subscript>, and of a related ionic complex, [(CO)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(dppfe)Mn]BF<Subscript>4</Subscript> [(dppfe) = bis-(1,1′-diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]

The titled covalent tetrafluoroborato dppfe complex was prepared by treating the precursor hydride, (CO)₃(dppfe)MnH, with tetrafluoroboric acid. Similar treatment of analogous hydrido complexes with other chelating phosphines always gave ionic tetrafluoroborates, presumably via similar intermediate FBF₃ covalent complexes, which however could not be isolated. Crystal structures for the covalent complex (CO)₃(dppfe)MnFBF₃.3/2CH₂Cl₂, 3, and the ionic complex [(CO)₄(dppfe)Mn]BF₄.CH₂Cl₂, 4, were determined. Crystal data for 3, monoclinic crystal system, space group = P2₁/n, a = 11.458(2) Å, b = 19.348(3) Å, c = 17.810(3) Å, = 104.410(4), V = 3823.9(12) ų, Z = 4; for 4, monoclinic crystal system, space group = P2₁/n, a = 15.6521(2) Å, b = 14.3107(4) Å, c = 17.0933(5) Å, = 95.075(1), V = 3813.8(2) ų, Z = 4.

(1412 reflections) forII. The intensities were recorded by counter methods, and only those reflections havingI>3(I) were used in the analyses.In both complexes, platinum is four-coordinate with the two chlorine atoms, the double bond of the ethylene, and the nitrogen atom of the substituted pyridine. The two structures are discussed in terms of the arrangement of the pyridine ligand with respect to the PtCl₂(C₂H₄) moiety.     

Structure and conformation of the 6-carboxylic acid and the 6-methylsulfonate of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin

The 6-methylsulfonate (I) and the 6-carboxylic acid (II) of 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin both crystallize in the space groupP2₁/n withZ=4. Unit cell parameters of I are:a=13.398(7),b=14.553(2),c=8.945(2) Å, =99.16(2)°; those of II are:a=6.010(16),b=25.741(16),c=10.505(10) Å, =100.05(16)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares, from room-temperature data obtained with an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, to conventionalR factors of 0.035 for I and 0.041 for II. The methylsulfonate group of I is disordered except for the sulfur atom and in II, which forms hydrogen-bonded dimers through the –COOH group, the hydrogen atom of the –COOH group is distributed equally between two positions.The conformation and molecular parameters of the 2,4-bis(trichioromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin fragment for both compounds is very similar to that in 6-nitro-2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin (Irving A., and Irving H. M. N. H. (1986)J. Cryst. Spectrosc. Res. 16, 703). The dioxin ring has an approximate envelope conformation with a pseudoequatorial –CCl₃ group in the 2-position and a pseudoaxial –CC1₃ group in the 4-position. C(ring)-C_eq(Cl₃) is 1.525(5) Å for I and 1.536(6) Å for II, whereas the C(ring)-C_ax(Cl₃) bond length is 1.547(5) Å for I and 1.550(4) Å for II. The chemical shifts of the two protons in the heterocyclic ring do not appear to be altered by these changes in the 6-substituent.     

Isolation and crystal structures of triethylenediamine-hydroquinone (1/1) and triethylenediamine-phenol (1/2)

The structure is composed of discrete hydrogen-bonded molecular aggregates corresponding to the stoichiometric formula. The triethylenediamine moieties in both adducts closely approximate to the idealizedD ₃ h conformation. The structures have been refined toR values of 0.097 (I) and 0.092 (II) using, respectively, 479 and 1580 observed MoK data.

Least-squares refinement based on 1195 observed reflections I>3(I) in the range 3.50°<2<45.0° led to a finalR factor of 0.036 (R ^w=0.047). The asymmetric unit contains one selenonium ion, Se(CH₃) ₃ ⁺ , and one organoaluminum anionic species, (CH₃)AlCl ₃ ^– . Secondary interactions (SeCl) serve to link the ions along two dimensions to form infinite layers. Thus, {[Se(CH₃)₃] [(CH₃)A1C1₃]}_n may be regarded as a layered organoaluminum-selenium polymer. The mean Se-C bond distance is 1.921(5) Å while the mean C-Se-C bond angle is 99.1(4)°. The independent Al-C bond distance is 1.927(8) Å while the mean Al-Cl bond distance is 2.166(7) Å.

The molybdenum coordination geometry in each complex is a slightly distorted octahedron. The molybdenum-carbon bond lengths for the carbonyls trans to phosphorus in complexI are shorter than those the carbonyls trans to other carbonyls. The average molybdenum-phosphorus distance inI (2.525(5)Å) is similar to those in other diphenylphosphinamide complexes and longer than the molybdenum-phosphorus distance inII in 2.4585(7)Å). The distance between two nitrogen atoms incis Mo(CO)₄(Ph₂PNH₂)₂ (3.74(3)Å) is significantly larger than the sum of their van der Waals radii (3.10 Å) indicating that the two nitrogens are not hydrogen bonded.
