Kristallstrukturen und thermisches Verhalten von Metalldihydrogenphosphat‐HF‐Addukten MH2PO4 · HF (M = K,Rb, Cs) mit Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen vom Typ F–H…O

Structures and Thermal Behaviour of Alkali Metal Dihydrogen Phosphate HF Adducts, MH₂PO₄ · HF (M = K, Rb, Cs), with Hydrogen Bonds of the F–H…O Type Three HF adducts of alkali metal dihydrogen phosphates, MH₂PO₄ · HF (M = K, Rb, Cs), have been isolated from fluoroacidic solutions of MH₂PO₄. KH₂PO₄ · HF crystallizes monoclinic: P2₁/c, a = 6,459(2), b = 7,572(2), c = 9,457(3) Å, β = 101,35(3)°, V = 453,5(3) ų, Z = 4. RbH₂PO₄ · HF and CsH₂PO₄ · HF are orthorhombic: Pna2₁, a = 9,055(3), b = 4,635(2), c = 11,908(4) Å, V = 499,8(3) ų, Z = 4, and Pbca, a = 7,859(3), b = 9,519(4), c = 14,744(5) Å, V = 1102,5(7) ų, Z = 8, respectively. The crystal structures of MH₂PO₄ · HF contain M⁺ cations, H₂PO₄^– anions and neutral HF molecules. The H₂PO₄^– anions are connected to layers by O–H…O hydrogen bonds (2,53–2,63 Å), whereas the HF molecules are attached to the layers via very short hydrogen bonds of the F‐H…O type (2,36–2,38 Å). The thermal decomposition of the adducts proceeds in three steps. The first step corresponds to the release of mainly HF and a smaller quantity of water. In the second and third steps, water evolution caused by condensation of dihydrogen phosphate is the dominating process whereas smaller amounts of HF are also released.     

Ir spectroscopic and crystal morphology studies of the structure of alakli metal fluorophosphatozirconates (hafnates)

Potassium, rhubidium, and caesium fluorophosphatozirconates (hafnates) and oxo(hydroxo)fluorophosphatonitratometalates with PO ₄ ^3? /Zr molar ratios of 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.66, 0.5, and 0.33 are synthesized for the first time. Most of them form either fine crystalline or X-ray amorphous particles. In order to characterize them IR spectroscopy and SEM are used. For the crystalline compounds the types of PO₄ groups and the character of bonds between fluorine and water are revealed. The occurrence of triple MeF₄·Rb(PO₄)_0.33·RbNO₃ (Me = Zr, Hf) salts and also M₃Me₃(PO₄)₅·3HF crystalline solvates is found. The layered habit of K₃Hf₃(PO₄)₅·3HF, RbHfF₂PO₄·0.5H₂O, Rb₃Hf₃(PO₄)₅·3HF, CsHfF₂PO₄·0.5H₂O, CsHf₂F₆PO₄·4H₂O, and CsH₂Hf₂F₂(PO₄)₃·2H₂O crystals gives grounds to suppose that the structure of these compounds is layered unlike the structure of triple MeF₄·Rb(PO₄)_0.33·RbNO₃ salts.     

Pseudo‐Isomerie durch unterschiedliche Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung: Die Kristallstrukturen des Hemihydrats und des Monohydrats von (pyH)[MnF(H2PO4)(HPO4)]

Pseudo‐Isomerism by Different Jahn‐Teller Ordering: Crystal Structures of the Hemihydrate and the Monohydrate of (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)] With pyridinium counter cations (pyH⁺) the Mn^III fluoride phosphate anion [MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]^— can be stabilized. It forms a chain structure with Mn³⁺ ions bridged by a fluoride ion and two bidentate phosphate groups. Under sleightly differing conditions either the hemihydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·0.5H₂O ( 1 ) or the monohydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·H₂O ( 2 ) is formed. The hemihydrate 1 crystallizes monoclinic in space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 7.295(1), b = 17.052(2), c = 18.512(3) Å, β = 100.78(1)°, R = 0.033, the monohydrate triclinic in space group P1¯, Z = 2, a = 7.374(1), b = 8.628(1), c = 10.329(1) Å, α = 83.658(8)°, β = 77.833(9)°, γ = 68.544(8)°, R = 0.025. Whereas the topology of the chain anions is identical in both structures, the Jahn‐Teller effect is expressed in different ordering patterns: in 1 antiferrodistortive ordering of [MnF₂O₄] octahedra is observed, with alternating elongation of an F—Mn—F‐axis or a O—Mn—O‐axis, respectively. This leads to asymmetrical Mn—F—Mn‐bridges. In 2 ferrodistortive ordering is found, with elongation of all octahedra along the F—Mn—F‐axis. Thus, symmetrical bridges are formed with long Mn—F distances. This unusual pseudo‐isomerism is attributed to the differing influence of inter‐chain hydrogen bonds.

Abstract

Chemical preparations, crystal structures, thermal analyses, and IR spectroscopic studies are given for two new hydrogen phosphates templated by 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine: (C₉H₂₂N₂)₂·(H₂PO₄)·(HPO₄)·(F)·H₂O (I) and (C₉H₂₂N₂)·(H₂PO₄)₂(II). The structures are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the P2₁/c (N°14) monoclinic space group with the unit cell parameters: a = 14.856 (1) Å, b = 14.092 (2) Å, c = 14.7166 (9) Å, β = 118.434 (7)°, V = 2709.2 (4) Å ³, and Z = 4 for (I) and a = 9.803 (2) Å, c = 0.466 (2) Å, c = 15.640 (8) Å, β = 94.990 (4), V = 1598.68 (7) ų, and Z = 4 for (II).

The structure of I, refined to R = 0.042 and R_w = 0.067 for 6009 reflections (I ≥ 2σ (I)), exhibits infinite inorganic chains _∞((H₂PO₄)·(HPO₄)·(F)·H₂O)^4? linked together through weak hydrogen bonds to form layers onto which the diprotonated [C₉H₂₂N₂]^{2 +} amine molecules are anchored.

The structure of II, refined to R = 0.060 and R_w = 0.086 for 1435 reflections (I ≥ 2σ (I)), consists of _∞(H₂PO₄)^? (100) layers between which [C₉H₂₂N₂]²⁺ cations are inserted. A network of hydrogen bonds connects the different components. IR spectra of I and II show the characteristic bands of amine groups and phosphate anions.     

Synthesis of Ammonium‐ and 4‐Dimethylaminopyridinium Amidofluorophosphates and Crystal Structure of [DMAPH][PO2F(NH2)]

NH₄[PO₂F(NH₂)] has been prepared by the reaction of a betaine py·PO₂F with excess ammonia in acetonitrile solution, while the ammonolysis of DMAP·PO₂F with a stoichiometric amount of NH₃ yields [DMAPH][PO₂F(NH₂)]. The crystal structure of the latter was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, which revealed that the anions [PO₂F(NH₂)]^— are linked to infinite chains by double N—H···O bridges. Additional strong N—H···O bridging bonds connect each anion with its [DMAPH]⁺ counterion. The formation of a new betaine NH₃·PO₂F in the solution of py·PO₂F in liquid ammonia was proved by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and by identification of its hydrolysis products.

Crystalline zirconium hydrophosphate Zr(HPO₄)₂ · H₂O, fluorozirconates Na₅Zr₂F₁₃ and Na₇Zr₆F₃₁ · 12H₂O, fluorophosphatozirconates NaH₂Zr₃F₃(PO₄)₄ · 3H₂O and NaZr₂F₆(PO₄) · 4H₂O, and amorphous NaZrO_0.5F(PO₄) · 4H₂O (provisional composition) were separated at room temperature. NaH₂Zr₃F₃(PO₄)₄ · 3H₂O and NaZr₂F₆(PO₄) · 4H₂O were prepared for the first time and were studied by crystal-optical, elemental, and thermal analyses, X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray microanalysis. Na₇Hf₆F₃₁ · 12H₂O was found to exist in a mixture with the hydrophosphate.     

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.     

Phase formation in the ZrO(NO3)2-H3PO4-CsF(HF)-H2O system

The compositions of CsZrF₂PO₄ · H₂O, Cs_0.70ZrF(PO₄)_1.23 · nH₂O, and CsHZr₂F₂(PO₄)_2.66 · nH₂O are conditional. All the compounds were characterized by crystal-optical, X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analyses, and IR spectroscopy. The formula CsHZrF₃PO₄ was established by energy-dispersive analysis with a LEO-1450 scanning electron microscope and an MS-46 CAMECA X-ray microanalyzer.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Transition Metal Trimetaphosphimates Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O and Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O The transition metal trimetaphosphimates Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O and Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O were obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of Na₃(PO₂NH)₃ · 4 H₂O with the respective metal nitrate or halide (molar ratio 1 : 4). The structure of Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O was solved by single crystal X‐ray methods. The structure of isotypic Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O was refined from X‐ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method (Zn₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O ( 1 ): P 1, a = 743.7(2), b = 955.9(2), c = 980.1(2) pm, α = 102.70(3), β = 90.46(3), and γ = 100.12(3)°, Z = 1; Co₃[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 14 H₂O ( 2 ): P 1, a = 746.05(1), b = 957.06(2), c = 988.51(2) pm, α = 102.162(1), β = 90.044(1), and γ = 99.258(1)°, Z = 1). In 1 and 2 the P₃N₃ rings of the trimetaphosphimate ions attain a conformation which can be described as a combination of an ideal boat and an ideal twist conformation. The trimetaphosphimate ions act as bridging ligands. Thus chains of alternating M²⁺ and (PO₂NH)₃^3– ions are formed which are interconnected by additional M²⁺ ions forming electro‐neutral double chains. In the solid these double chains are connected by hydrogen bonds.

The structure of Na₄{Cu[(PO₂NH)₃]₂} · 10 H₂O ( 1 ) was solved by single‐crystal X‐ray methods (P 1, a = 912.51(6), b = 932.14(6), c = 966.10(6) pm, α = 94.840(5), β = 108.652(6), γ = 118.588(6)°, Z = 1). The P₃N₃ rings of the trimetaphosphimate ions exhibit a slightly distorted sofa conformation. The conformation of the anions have been analysed using torsion angles, displacement asymmetry parameters, and puckering parameters. The trimetaphosphimate ions act as bidentate ligands of Cu²⁺. With additionally coordinated water molecules, anionic complexes {Cu[(PO₂NH)₃]₂ · 2 H₂O}^4– are formed. In the crystal these complexes are interconnected by N–H…O und O–H…O hydrogen bonds and they coordinate the Na⁺. Thus, a three‐dimensional network is formed.     

35Cl Nqr spectroscopy of the [PO2Cl2]− and POCl3 groups in Me(PO2Cl2)2·2D (Me = Mg,Ca, Mn; D = POCl3,CH3COOC2H5,CH3COCH3)

³⁵Cl NQR spectra of dichlorophosphates Me(PO₂Cl₂)₂ · 2D (Me = Mg, Ca, Mn; D = CH₃COOC₂H₅, CH₃COCH₃, POCl₃) are studied in the temperature range 77 ? T (K) ? 305. It is shown that the three compounds with CH₃COOC₂H₅ as donor are isomorphic at 77 K, the crystal structure of Mn(PO₂Cl₂)₂· 2CH₃COOC₂H₅. The structure of Mg(PO₂Cl₂)_2^?· 2CH₃COCH₃ and of Mg(PO₂Cl₂)₂ · 2POCl₃ probably consists of infinite chains as found for Mn(PO₂Cl₂)₂· 2CH₃COOC₂H₅. Mg(PO₂Cl₂)₂· 2CH₃COOC₂H₅ shows phase transformations and a complicated dynamical behaviour leading to strong deviations from a Bayertype NQR function v = f(T). The donor capacity of POCl₃ in Mg(PO₂Cl₂)₂· 2POCl₃ is comparable with the donor strength in AsCl₃ · POCl₃ · A d_π-p_π overlap of the P-O bond influences the P-Cl bond.     

Analytical applications of the reaction of thorium with benzenephosphonic acid

Benzenephosphonic acid quantitatively precipitates thorium as Th(C₆H₅PO₃)₂·3H₂O at pH values as low as 0.5. The compound may be dried at 140° to 180° C and weighed, as a gravimetric means of determining thorium.

All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystallography. The structural analyses indicate that these complexes are isostructural as Sn₄Te₂ moiety, in which the Te₂(μ₂‐O)₂ units are situated in the center and each Te atom is coordinated with two OSnR₃ groups on the side. Complexes 1 , 3 , and 5 show one‐dimensional chain and two‐dimensional network supramolecular structures by intermolecular C H···O or C H···Cl interactions. The antitumor activities of these complexes reveal that most arenetelluronic triorganotin esters have powerful antitumor activities with certain regularity.

Phase formation in the systems TiOCl2-H3PO4-MF(HF)-H2O (M = K, Rb, Cs)

From solutions containing 2–17 wt % TiO₂ at the molar ratios M/Ti = 1–4, F/Ti = 2–4, and PO ₄ ^3? /Ti = 0.5–10 under mild conditions, fluoro- and oxo(hydroxo) fluorophosphate titanates were isolated: crystalline M₂TiF₆ (M = K, Rb, Cs) and K₂Ti₂O_2.5F₂PO₄ · 2H₂O, and amorphous K₃Ti₄O(OH)F₇(PO₄)₃ · 5H₂O, Cs₂Ti₃O₂F₇PO₄ · 6H₂O, and CsTi₃O₃F₄PO₄ · 3H₂O. In a mixture with M₂TiF₆ and KCl, phosphate-ion-containing crystalline phases of unidentified composition were detected.
