Einkristallstudien zur Temperaturabhängigkeit der Kristallstruktur von α-Na3Hg

Temperature Dependent Single Crystal Investigations of α-Na₃Hg In contrast to β-Na₃Hg (rhomboedrally distorted Li₃Bi-type) α-Na₃Hg crystallizes in a hitherto poorly understood variant of the Na₃As-type. Based on temperature dependent measurements of poly- and single crystalline samples (?100°C < T < +35°C) we show, that in particular the sodium atoms (Na1) located in the region of the octahedral Hg₆-holes show a pronounced temperature dependent dynamical behaviour. To a lesser extend this is also true for the tetrahedrally coordinated Na-atoms (Na2). With increasing temperature the former ones more and more approach the centers of the opposite triangular faces of mercury atoms, limiting the Hg₆-octahedra along [001]. Occupation of the latter positions by sodium atoms would lead to unusual short interatomic distances d_{Na? Hg}. However before reaching this unreasonable situation α-Na₃Hg decomposes under formation of β-Na₃Hg.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Te3O3(PO4)2, einer Verbindung mit fünffach koordiniertem Tellur(IV)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Te₃O₃(PO₄)₂, a Compound with 5‐fold Coordinate Tellurium(IV) Polycrystalline Te₃O₃(PO₄)₂ is formed during controlled dehydration of (Te₂O₃)(HPO₄) with (Te₈O₁₀)(PO₄)₄ as an intermediate product. Colourless single crystals were prepared by heating stoichiometric amounts of the binary oxides P₂O₅ und TeO₂ in closed silica glass ampoules at 590 °C for 8 hours. The crystal structure (P2₁/c, Z = 4, α = 12.375(2), b = 7.317(1), c = 9.834(1)Å, β = 98.04(1)°, 1939 structure factors, 146 parameters, R[F² > 2σ(F²)] = 0.0187, wR2(F² all) = 0.0367) was determined from four‐circle diffractometer data and consists of [TeO₅] polyhedra und PO₄ tetrahedra as the main building units. The framework structure is made up of cationic zigzag‐chains of composition [Te₂O₃]²⁺ which extend parallel to [001] and anionic [Te(PO₄)₂]^2— units linked laterally to these chains. This leads to the formation of [Te₂O₃][Te(PO₄)₂] layers parallel to the bc plane which are interconnected via weak Te‐O bonds.     

Synthese und Struktur von (NH4)2[(AuI4)(AuI2(μ2-I4))], einem Iodoaurat(III) mit I-Ionen als Liganden

Synthesis and Structure of (NH₄)₂[(AuI₄)(AuI₂(μ₂-I₄))], a Iodoaurate(III) with I₄^2? Anions as Ligands (NH₄)₂[(AuI₄)(AuI₂(μ₂-I₄))] is obtained in a sealed glass ampoule by slow cooling of a mixture of NH₄I, Au, and I₂ beforehand heated to 500°C. The compound forms black crystals decomposing slowly under loss of I₂. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 1357.7(1), b = 2169.9(2), c = 755.6(3) pm, and Z = 4. The crystal structure is built up by NH cations and square-planar [AuI₄]^? anions as well as [AuI₂(μ₂-I₄)]^? groups being linked together by the I ligands to form chains. The distances Au? I are in the range of 258.7(2) to 262.4(2) pm. The nearly linear I anions are characterized by a short central I? I distance of 270.9(3) pm and two longer outer distances of 338.7(2) pm.     

Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität von Tris‐, Bis‐ und Mono(2,4‐dimethylpentadienyl)‐Komplexen des Neodyms,Lanthans und des Yttriums

The tris(2,4‐dimethylpentadienyl) complexes [Ln(η⁵‐Me₂C₅H₅)₃] (Ln = Nd, La, Y) are obtained analytically pure by reaction of the tribromides LnBr₃·nTHF with the potassium compound K(Me₂C₅H₅)(thf)_n in THF in good yields. The structural characterization is carried out by X‐ray crystal structure analysis and NMR‐spectroscopically. The tris complexes can be transformed into the dimeric bis(2,4‐dimethylpentadienyl) complexes [Ln₂(η⁵‐Me₂C₅H₅)₄X₂] (Ln, X: Nd, Cl, Br, I; La, Br, I; Y, Br) by reaction with the trihalides THF solvates in the molar ratio 2:1 in toluene. Structure and bonding conditions are determined for selected compounds by X‐ray crystal structure analysis and NMR‐spectroscopically in general. The dimer‐monomer equilibrium existing in solution was investigated NMR‐spectroscopically in dependence of the donor strength of the solvent and could be established also by preparation of the corresponding monomer neutral ligand complexes [Ln(η⁵‐Me₂C₅H₅)₂X(L)] (Ln, X, L: Nd, Br, py; La, Cl, thf; Br, py; Y, Br, thf). Finally the possibilities for preparation of mono(2,4‐dimethylpentadienyl)lanthanoid(III)‐dibromid complexes are shown and the hexameric structure of the lanthanum complex [La₆(η⁵‐Me₂C₅H₅)₆Br₁₂(thf)₄] is proved by X‐ray crystal structure analysis.

Its structure was confirmed by an X‐ray crystal structure determination.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur, Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von (Ph4P)2[OsN(N3)5] und 15N‐NMR‐Verschiebungen von Nitridoosmaten(VI,VIII)

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of (Ph₄P)₂[OsN(N₃)₅] and ¹⁵N NMR Chemical Shifts of Nitridoosmates(VI, VIII) The treatment of (Ph₄P)[OsNCl₄] with NaN₃ yields (Ph₄P)₂[OsN(N₃)₅], which crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis (monoclinic, space group P 2₁/a, a = 20.484(6), b = 11.168(1), c = 20.666(4) Å, β = 97.35(3)°, Z = 4). The IR and Raman vibrations were assigned by a normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(Os≡N) = 8.52, f_d(Os–N^α) = 1.99, f_d(N^α–N^β) = 12.42, f_d(N^β–N^γ) = 12.73 and for the azido ligand in trans‐position to the nitrido group f_d(Os–N^{α ·} ) = 1.84, f_d(N^{α ·} –N^{β ·} ) = 11.91, f_d(N^{β ·} –N^{γ ·} ) = 12.18 mdyn/Å. The ¹⁵N NMR spectra of various nitridoosmates reveal the chemical shifts δ(¹⁵N) for K[OsO₃¹⁵N] = 387.6, K₂[Os¹⁵NCl₅] = 446.7, (Ph₄P)[Os¹⁵NCl₄] = 352.9, [(n‐C₆H₁₃)₄N]₂[Os¹⁵N(N₃)₅] = 307.3 and for [(n‐Pr)₄N]₂[Os¹⁵N(¹⁵NCO)₅] = 483,7 (Os≡N), –417,7 (OsNCO_eq) und –392,8 ppm (OsNCO_ax).     

Tetra(n-butyl)ammoniumphthalocyaninato(2–)lithat-Tetrahydrofuran und Bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium)phthalocyaninato(2–)lithatfluorid-Hydrat; Synthese und Kristallstruktur

Tetra(n-butyl)ammonium Phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate Tetrahydrofurane and Bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium) Phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate Fluoride Hydrate; Synthesis and Crystal Structure Dilithiumphthalocyaninate(2–) reacts with excess tetra(n-butyl)ammonium fluoride trihydrate to yield a mixture of blue tetra(n-butyl)ammonium phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate tetrahydrofurane and bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium) phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate fluoride hydrate. The latter crystallizes triclinic with crystal data: a = 8.6480(1) Å; b = 12.620(2) Å; c = 14.866(5) Å; α = 82.44(2)°; β = 87.01(2)°; γ = 75.02°; space group P1 ; Z = 1. Fluoride is not coordinated to lithium. On the contrary, a double-salt is formed, which consists of alternating layers of cations and anions. This arrangement opens a cavity in the centre of the unit cell which shares statistically a fluoride and a disordered fluoride hydrate. Pure tetra(n-butyl)ammonium phthalocyaninato(2–)lithate is obtained as a tetrahydrofurane solvate by the reaction of dilithiumphthalocyaninate(2–) with tetra(n-butyl)ammonium bromide in tetrahydrofurane. The solvate crystallizes monoclinic with crystal data: a = 12.455(5) Å; b = 23.396(5) Å; c = 16.120(5) Å; β = 94.986(5)°; space group P2/c1; Z = 4.     

Photochemische Reaktionen von Cyclopentadienylbis(ethen)rhodium mit Phenanthren,Acenaphthylen und Triphenylen,sowie ungewöhnlicher H-Austausch zwischen η2-koordinierten Phenanthren- bzw. Acenaphthylen- und η5-Cyclopentadienyl-Liganden

Photochemical Reactions of Cyclopentadienylbis(ethene)rhodium with Phenanthrene, Acenaphthylene, and Triphenylene, and Unusual H Exchange between η²-Coordinated Phenanthrene or Acenaphthylene and η⁵-Cyclopentadienyl Ligands During UV irradiation of [CpRh(C₂H₄)₂] (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅) in hexane/ether in the presence of phenanthrene one ethene ligand is displaced by coordination of the 9,10 double bond of phenanthrene, and (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl) (η²-ethene)(η²-9,10-phenanthrene)rhodium ( 1 ) is formed. The analogous reaction in hexane in the presence of acenaphthylene occurs with formation of the complexes (η²-1,2-acenaphthylene)(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(²-ethene)rhodium 2 and bis(η²-1,2-acenaphthylene)(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)rhodium 3 in which one and two ethene molecules of [CpRh(C₂H₄)₂], respectively, are substituted by η²-1,2-acenaphthylene. The irradiation of [CpRh(C₂H₄)₂] with triphenylene in hexane yields the compounds [CpRh(η⁴-1,2,3,4-triphenylene)] ( 4 ), [(CpRh)₂(μ-η³: η³-triphenylene)] ( 5 ), and [(CpRh)₃(μ₃-η²: η²: η²-triphenylene)] ( 6 ). Despite the partially very low yields the new complexes could be unequivocally characterized spectroscopically and in the case of 1 and 3 by X-ray structural analysis. The compounds 1 and 2 in solution reveal a novel dynamic behaviour; via an intramolecular C? H activation, exchange occurs between the protons of the η²-coordinated arene and the Cp ligand. The complex 4 in solution is fluxional, too.     

On the Reactivity of Platina‐β‐diketones – Synthesis and Characterization of Acylplatinum(II) Complexes

The platina‐β‐diketones [Pt₂{(COR)₂H}₂(μ‐Cl)₂] ( 1 , R = Me a , Et b ) react with phosphines L in a molar ratio of 1 : 4 through cleavage of acetaldehyde to give acylplatinum(II) complexes trans‐[Pt(COR)Cl(L)₂] ( 2 ) (R/L = Me/P(p‐FC₆H₄)₃ a , Me/P(p‐CH₂=CHC₆H₄)Ph₂ b , Me/P(n‐Bu)₃ c , Et/P(p‐MeOC₆H₄)₃ d ). 1 a reacts with Ph₂As(CH₂)₂PPh₂ (dadpe) in a molar ratio of 1 : 2 through cleavage of acetaldehyde yielding [Pt(COMe)Cl(dadpe)] ( 3 a ) (configuration index: SP‐4‐4) and [Pt(COMe)Cl(dadpe)] (configuration index: SP‐4‐2) ( 3 b ) in a ratio of about 9 : 1. All acyl complexes were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 2 a and 3 a were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The geometries at the platinum centers are close to square planar. In both complexes the plane of the acyl ligand is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the complex (88(2)° 2 a , 81.2(5)° 3 a ).     

Reduktive Dimerisierung von NO an Dirutheniumkomplexen und Bildung eines tridentaten 2, 2‐Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethanolato‐Liganden

The reaction of the trans‐hyponitrito complex [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐η²‐ONNO)(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu₂)(μ‐dppen)] ( 1 , dppen = Ph₂PC(=CH₂)PPh₂) with tetrafluorido boric acid afforded the new complex salt [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐η²‐ONNOH)(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu₂)(μ‐dppen)]BF₄ ( 2 ) containing the monoprotonate hyponitrous acid as the ligand in the cationic complex. Complex 1 showed a nucleophilic reactivity towards the trimethyloxonium cation resulting in the monoester derivative of the hyponitrous acid [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐η²‐ONNOMe)(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu₂)(μ‐dppen)]BF₄ ( 3 ). During heating of compound 2 in ethanol under reflux for a short time nitrous oxide was liberated affording unexpectedly a new tridentate 2, 2‐bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethanolato ligand formed by an intramolecular attack of an intermediate hydroxido ligand towards the unsaturated carbon carbon double bond in the bridging dppen ligand. Thus the complex salt [Ru₂(CO)₄{μ‐η³‐OCH₂CH(PPh₂)₂}(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu₂)]BF₄ ( 4 ) was formed in good yields. The new compounds 2 , 3 , and 4 were characterized by spectroscopic means as well as their molecular structures were determined in the crystal.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Di(phthalocyaninato(1−))-lanthanidpolybromid; Kristallstruktur von α-Di(phthalocyaninato)samariumpolybromid, α-[Sm(Pc)2]Br1,45 und α-Di(phthalocyaninato)samariumperchlorat, α-[Sm(Pc)2](ClO4)0,63

Synthesis and Spectroscopical Properties of Di(phthalocyaninato(1?))lanthanidepolybromide; Crystal Structure of α-Di(phthalocyaninato)samariumpolybromide, α-[Sm(Pc)₂]Br_1.45 and α-Di(phthalocyaninato)samariumperchlorate, α-[Sm(Pc)₂](ClO₄)_0.63 Bronze-coloured di(phthalocyaninato)lanthanidepolybromide, [Ln(Pc^?)₂]Br_y (Ln = La…(? Ce, Pm)…Lu; y > 1.5) is prepared by oxidation of (ⁿBu₄N)[Ln(Pc^2?)₂] with bromine in excess. The UV-VIS-NIR spectra show the typical B and Q₁ bands of the Pc^? ligand at ～ 14 kK and ～ 20 kK. For the [Ln(Pc^?)₂]⁺ cation a NIR(D) band between 9,14 kK (La) and 11,50 kK (Lu) is characteristic for dimeric cofacial Pc^? radicals. Within the row La…Lu, there is a linear relationship of the hypsochromic shift of the strong bands and the Ln^III radius. In the case of La? Nd the D band shifts successively with longer time of bromination to ～ 3 kK as a result of increasing electron delocalisation. Characteristic vibrational bands are at ～ 1350/1450 cm^?1 (IR) and ～ 560/1120/1170/1600 cm^?1 (RR). In the FT-Raman spectra the totally symmetric Ln? N stretching vibration between 141 cm^?1 (La) and 172 cm^?1 (Lu) is selectively enhanced. As shown by α-[Sm(Pc)₂]Br_1,45 and α-[Sm(Pc)₂](ClO₄)_0,63 only partially ringoxidized complexes are obtained by the anodic oxidation. Both crystallize in the tetragonal space group P4/nnc. The [Sm(Pc)₂] molecular building block contains two nearly planar staggered (～41°) Pc rings packed in columns parallel along [001] leading to the quasi-one-dimensional structure. There is a statistical disorder of the Sm^III and the ClO₄^? resp. Br^?/Br₃^? ions over two incompletely filled crystallographic positions for the cation resp. anion. This results in a partial oxidation of the Pc ligand, which in the picture of localized valence states for α-[Sm(Pc)₂](ClO₄)_0,63 corresponds to [SmPc^?Pc^2?] · 2[Sm(Pc^?)₂](ClO₄). Accepting the same valence state for [Sm(Pc)₂]Br_1,45 five positive charges are compensated by two Br^? and three Br₃^?. The spectroscopic differences of the partially and fully oxidized complexes are discussed.     

Wasserfreie Sulfate der Selten‐Erd‐Elemente: Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Y2(SO4)3 und Sc2(SO4)3

Anhydrous Sulfates of Rare Earth Elements: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Y₂(SO₄)₃ and Sc₂(SO₄)₃ The reaction of YCl₃ and Li₂SO₄ in sealed gold ampoules yields colorless single crystals of Y₂(SO₄)₃. According to the X‐ray single crystal determination the compound crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry (Pbcn, Z = 4, a = 1273.97(13), b = 916.76(9), c = 926.08(7) pm, R_all = 0.0274). The crystal structure is buildt up from [YO₆] octahedra and sulfate tetrahedra connected via all vertices. In the same way [ScO₆] octahedra and sulfate groups are connected in the crystal structure of Sc₂(SO₄)₃ (trigonal, R‐3, Z = 6, a = 870.7(1), c = 2247.0(4) pm, R_all = 0.0255). Single crystals of Sc₂(SO₄)₃ were obtained via crystallisation of powder samples from a NaCl melt. The crystal structures of both compounds are closely related to each other and to the binary sulfides Rh₂S₃ and Lu₂S₃; the structures are the same with the complex SO₄^2– ions replacing the S^2– ions of the sulfides.

Structural relations between Li₂CO₃ and β-Na₂CS₃ are discussed. The ionic conductivities are 3 · 10^?11S cm^?1 and 1.3 · 10^?2S cm^?1 at 50°C and 250°C, respectively.     

Eine Strukturvariante zum NaErCl4/α-NiWO4-Typ für ternäre Selten-Erd-Chloride vom Typ NaMCl4: Synthese und Kristallstruktur von NaLuCl4

A Structural Variant to the NaErCl₄/α-NiWO₄ Type for Ternary Rare-Earth Halides NaMCl₄: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of NaLuCl₄ Single crystals of NaLuCl₄ (orthorhombic, Pbcn (Nr. 60), Z = 4, a = 618.6(1) pm, b = 1 592.2(2) pm, c = 657.0(1) pm) were grown for the first time from the binary components using the Bridgman technique. The crystal structure may be derived from a hexagonally closest packing of Cl^? spheres with one half of all octahedral sites occupied by the cations Na⁺ and Lu³⁺, respectively. The close relation of the structure to that of NaErCl₄ (α-NiWO₄) is discussed. NaScCl₄ was found to be isotypic to NaLuCl₄.     

Polyol-Metall-Komplexe. 25. rac-Mannose,rac-Arabit und L-Threit als deprotonierte Liganden in Ferraten(III)

Polyol Metal Complexes. 25. rac-Mannose, rac-Arabitol and L -Threitol as Deprotonated Ligands in Ferrates(III ) Ba₂[Fe₂(β-rac-ManfH_?5)₂] · 12H₂O ( 1 ), Sr₄[Fe₄(rac-Arab1,2,3,5H_?4)₄(OH)₂]CO₃ · 33 H₂O ( 2 ), and Ba₂[Fe₂(L-ThreH_?4)₂(OH)₂] · 12.5 H₂O ( 3 ) (Man = mannose, Arab = arabitol, Thre = threitol) have been crystallized from alkaline aqueous solution. Crystal structure analysis revealed dinuclear ferrate(III ) ions for 1 and 3 , the former being a C_i-symmetrical homoleptic ferric complex with pentadentate pentaanions derived from racemic β-mannofuranose. In 3 , besides tetradentate L -threitolato ligands, there is one terminal hydroxo ligand at each ferric center. Hydroxo ligands are also present in the C_i-symmetrical hexaanions of 2 , which are tetranuclear planar entities built up from four edge-sharing FeO₆ octahedra. However arabitol is a pentitol, the tetraanionic ligands are only tetradentate for steric reasons.     

Mono- und Bis(difluorphosphoranyl)ethylen,n-Hexyliden-fluorphosphoran und ein 2,4-Di-n-pentyl-1λ5,3λ5-diphosphet

Mono- and Bis(difluorophosphoranyl)ethylene, n-Hexylidene-fluorophosphorane, and a 2,4-Di-n-pentyl-1λ⁵, 3λ⁵ -diphosphete Bis(diethylamino)phosphanylethylene, 1 , is converted by SF₄ into bis(diethylamino)difluorophosphoranylethylene, 2. Analogously trans-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethylene, 3 , is converted into trans-1,2-bis(difluorodiphenylphoranyl)ethylene, 4. 2 reacts with n-butyllithium to give n-hexylidene-bis(diethylamino)fluorophosphorane, 5. With more n-butyllithium, the main product n-hexylidene-bis(diethylamino)-n-butylphosphorane, 7 , and the by-product 2,4-di-n-pentyl-1,1,3,3-tetrakis(diethylamino)-1λ⁵, 3λ⁵ -diphosphete, 8 , are formed.

Die Kristallstrukturen von Me3SiI · β-Picolin und Me3SiI · γ-Picolin Vergleich der Lewis-Basen Pyridin, β-Picolin und γ-Picolin

The Crystal Structure of Me₃SiI · β-Picoline and Me₃SiI · γ-Picoline A Comparison between the Lewis-Bases Pyridine, β-Picoline, and γ-Picoline The reaction of Iodinetrimethylsilane with β- und γ-Picoline (Pic) leads to solid 1 : 1 compounds Me₃SiI · β-Picoline 1 , Me₃SiI · γ-Picoline 2. The reaction was performed at room temperature. Yellow single crystals were obtained by sublimation. Single crystal X-ray investigations confirm that both compounds are ionic [Me₃SiPic]⁺I^?. The comparison of β-Picoline with γ-Picoline and Pyridine (Py) demonstrates that the presence of a methyl group and also its position has no significant influence on the Si? N bond length in compound 1, 2 and on the adduct Me₃SiI · Py.     

Three p‐xylene‐solvated pseudopolymorphs of bis[1,3‐bis(pentafluorophenyl)propane‐1,3‐dionato]copper(II)

The Cu²⁺ ions in the title compounds, namely bis[1,3‐bis(pentafluorophenyl)propane‐1,3‐dionato‐κ²O,O′]copper(II) p‐xylene n‐solvate, [Cu(C₁₅HF₁₀O₂)₂]·nC₈H₁₀, with n = 1, (I), n = 2, (II), and n = 4, (III), are coordinated by two 1,3‐bis(pentafluorophenyl)propane‐1,3‐dionate ligands. The coordination complexes of (I) and (II) have crystallographic inversion symmetry at the Cu atom and the p‐xylene molecule in (I) also lies across an inversion centre. The p‐xylene molecules in (I) and (II) interact with the pentafluorophenyl groups of the complex via arene–perfluoroarene interactions. In the crystal of (III), two of the p‐xylene molecules interact with the pentafluorophenyl groups via arene–perfluoroarene interactions. The other two p‐xylene molecules are located on the CuO₄ coordination plane, forming a uniform cavity produced by metal...π interactions.
