Direct nucleophilic displacement of iodine to give (Me₃Si)₃ CSiMe₂ Y, where Y = F, NCO, NCS, CN or N₃, takes place when (Me₃Si)₃ CSiMe₂I is treated with solutions of CsF, KOCN, KSCN, KCN, or NaN₃ in MeOH or CH₃ CN. The order of effectiveness of the nucleophiles appears to be N₃ > F > CN > NCS > NCO in MeOH and NCS > NCO > CN, F in CH₃ CN.

(ⁿBu₄N)[Ru(CN)(py)pc^2–] crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2₁ (no. 29) with cell parameters a = 28.319(5) Å, b = 29.850(3) Å, c = 24.566(7) Å, Z = 16, with four crystallographically independent complex anions present in the unit cell. Each Ru atom is located outside the centre (Ct) of the corresponding (N_iso)₄ plane (N_iso: isoindoline N atom) and coordinates axially pyridine and cyanide in a mutual trans position. The largest vertical displacement of the Ru atom from the (N_iso)₄ plane towards cyanide (d(Ru–Ct)) is 0.020 Å. The Ru–N_iso distance varies from 1.947(2) to 1.992(2) Å. The average Ru–C and Ru–N_py distance is 2.00 Å and 2.19 Å, respectively. The pc^2– ligand ist slightly distorted towards the cyanide. The cyclic and differential pulse voltammograms of (ⁿBu₄N)[Ru(X)(py)pc^2–] exhibit the first quasi-reversible one electron process (in V) at 0.46 (X = CN), 0.34 (N₃), 0.40 (NCO), 0.47 (NO₂), 0.50 V (NCS) and the second, independent of X, at approximately 1.05 V. The first process is metal directed, the second ring directed. The electronic absorption spectra and the vibrational spectra of (ⁿBu₄N)[Ru(X)(py)pc^2–] are discussed.     

Crystal Structure of Bis -(2,2′-bipyridine-N,N′)-(dicyanamide-N)-copper(II) Tricyanomethanide. Electronic and Structural Parameters Describing the Shape of Coordination Polyhedra in Five-Coordinated Copper(II) Compounds

 The structure of the new compound [Cu(bpy)₂N(CN)₂]C(CN)₃ (6) is compared with thestructures of six copper(II) coordination compounds with phenanthroline or bipyridine ligands and N-donor pseudohalide anions: [Cu(phen)₂NCS]C(CN)₃ (1), [Cu(bpy)₂NCS]C(CN)₃ (2), [Cu(phen)₂NCS]ONC(CN)₂ (3), [Cu(phen)₂N(CN)₂]C(CN)₃ (4), [Cu(bpy)₂C(CN)₃]C(CN)₃ (5), and [Cu(bpy)₂NCO]C(CN)₃ (7). The Cu(II) atoms in all above compounds are five-coordinated with an N-donor atom of the pseudohalide anion located in the equatorial plane of a deformed trigonal bipyramid. The shape of the coordination polyhedra and the degree of trigonal bipyramidal distortion towards a tetragonal pyramid are discussed and described using one electronic and several structural criteria which are discussed and compared.

Ruthenium(II) Phthalocyaninates(2–): Synthesis and Properties of (Acido)(carbonyl)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenate(II), [Ru(X)(CO)Pc^2?]^? (X = Cl, Br, I, NCO, NCS, N₃) (ⁿBu₄N)[Ru(OH)₂Pc^2?] is reduced in acetone with carbonmonoxid to blue-violet [Ru(H₂O)(CO)Pc^2?], which yields in tetrahydrofurane with excess (ⁿBu₄N)X acido(carbonyl)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenate(II), [Ru(X)(CO)Pc^2?]^? (X = Cl, Br, I, NCO, NCS, N₃) isolated as red-violet, diamagnetic (ⁿBu₄N) complex salt. The UV-Vis spectra are dominated by the typical π-π* transitions of the Pc^2? ligand at approximately 15100 (B), 28300 (Q₁) und 33500 cm^?1 (Q₂), only fairly dependent of the axial ligands. v(C? O) is observed at 1927 (X = I), 1930 (Cl, Br), 1936 (N₃, NCO) 1948 cm^?1 (NCS), v(C? N) at 2208 cm^?1 (NCO), 2093 cm^?1 (NCS) and v(N? N) at 2030 cm^?1 only in the MIR spectrum. v(Ru? C) coincides in the FIR spectrum with a deformation vibration of the Pc ligand, but is detected in the resonance Raman(RR) spectrum at 516 (X = Cl), 512 (Br), 510 (N₃), 504 (I), 499 (NCO), 498 cm^?1 (NCS). v(Ru? X) is observed in the FIR spectrum at 257 (X = Cl), 191 (Br), 166 (I), 349 (N₃), 336 (NCO) and 224 cm^?1 (NCS). Only v(Ru? I) is RR-enhanced.     

Kinetic analysis of thermogravimetric data. XXIII. Thermal decomposition of some [Co(pyridine)4(NCX)2] type complexes

A derivatographic study of the thermal decomposition of [Co(py)₄(NCX)₂] type complexes (X = O, S, Se) shows the first two decomposition stages to be the release of the four pyridine molecules. Co(NCS)₂ is a relatively stable intermediate, but the others immediately undergo the further decomposition reactions: Co(NCO)₂ → Co(CN)₂ → Co₃O₄ and Co(NCSe)₂ → Co₂(SeO₃)₃ → Co₃O₄, respectively. Even the Co(NCS)₂ is oxidized at higher temperatures, presumably giving a mixture of sulphate and oxide. From the TG curves kinetic parameters are derived for the deamination reactions. These parameters depend on the working conditions. A kinetic compensation effect is observed and discussed.     

A Potential Method Using Ge{iPrNC[N(SiMe3)2]NiPr}2, (Et3Si)2Te and Anhydrous Hydrazine for Germanium Tellurides

A germanium(II)‐guanidine derivative of formula Ge{iPrNC[N(SiMe₃)₂]NiPr}₂ ( 1 ) was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, elemental analysis, and X‐ray diffraction method. Thermal property was also studied to identify its thermal stability and volatility. More importantly, compound 1 was synthesized to develop a new method for germanium tellurides, where anhydrous hydrazine was introduced to prompt the activity of germanium(II) guanidines (or derivatives) towards (Et₃Si)₂Te. Solution reaction of compound 1 , (Et₃Si)₂Te, and anhydrous hydrazine was investigated to pre‐identify the feasibility of this combination for ALD process. The EDS data of the black precipitate from this reaction verified the potential of this method to manufacture germanium tellurides.     

High-spin Mangan(II)-Phthalocyanine: Darstellung und spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Acidophthalocyaninatomanganat(II)

High Spin Manganese(II) Phthalocyanines: Preparation and Spectroscopical Properties of Acidophthalocyaninatomanganate(II) Acidophthalocyaninatomanaganese(III) is reduced by boranate, thioacetate or hydrogensulfide to yield acidophthalo-cyaninatomanganate(II) ([Mn(X)Pc^2?]^?; X = Cl, Br, NCO, NCS) being isolated as tetra(n-butyl)ammonium salt. In the cyclovoltammogram of [Mn(NCO)Pc^2?]^? the halv-wave potential for the redoxcouple Mn^II/Mn^III is at ?0.13 V, that of the first ring reduction at ?0.99 V. The magnetic moments are indicative of high-spin ⁶A₁ ground states: μ_Mn = 5.84 (NCO), 5.78(Cl), 5.65 (Br), 5.68 μ_B (NCS). A Curie-like temperature dependence of μ_Mn is observed in the region 300–30 K. Below 30 K an increase in μ_Mn occurs due to weak intermolecular ferromagnetic coupling. The ESR spectra confirm the S = 5/2 ground state with a strong g = 6 resonance observed (A_Mn = 80 G) as expected for an axially distorted ligand-field. Besides the typical π-π* transitions of the Pc^2?-ligand several weak bands are observed in the Uv-vis-n.i.r. spectra at ca. 7.5, 9.1, 14.0 and 19.0 kK that are assigned to trip-multiplet transitions. In resonance with the band at 19.0 kK the Mn? X stretching vibration (v(MnX)) is resonance Raman enhanced: X = NCO: 319, Cl: 286, SCN: 238, Br: 202 cm^?1. These vibrational frequencies are confirmed by the f.i.r. spectra. In the case of the thiocyanato-complex probably both forms of bonding of the ambident NCS-ligand are present (v(Mn? NCS): 274 cm^?1). The frequencies of the vibrations of the inner (CN)₈ ring are reduced by up to 20 cm^?1 as compared with those of low spin Mn^II phthalocyanines.

Synthesis and Characterization of the Germanium Sulfonate Ge(CH3SO3)2 – a 3D Coordination Network Solid

The reaction of germanium(II)‐bis(2‐methoxyphenyl)methoxide with methanesulfonic acid provides the germanium(II) sulfonate Ge(CH₃SO₃)₂ ( 1 ), which was characterized by X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. The decomposition process of 1 was investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and temperature‐dependent X‐ray powder diffraction (PXRD) and both are consistent with the formation of GeO₂ as major final product. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction at 110 K revealed the chiral tetragonal space group P4₁2₁2 and formation of a three‐dimensional (3D) coordination network solid. The 3D network is composed of interconnected twenty four‐membered rings comprising bridging methanesulfonate groups, which link the germanium atoms.

New organohalogermanes RGe(OCH₂CH₂NMe₂)₂X (R = Ph, X = I (5); R = Me, X = Cl (6) or I (7)) with an intramolecular N→Ge coordination bond were synthesized. According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data, iodides 5 and 7 exist in solution as ionic compounds with the pentacoordinated germanium atom. In solution of compound 4 (R = Ph, X = Cl), there is an equilibrium between the ionic and covalent forms. The equilibrium shifts toward the ionic form with increasing solvent polarity or temperature. In solution, chloride 6 is a covalent compound.

Synthese und Eigenschaften von (Acido)(nitrosyl)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenium

Synthesis and Properties of (Acido)(nitrosyl)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenium (Acido)(nitrosyl)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenium, [Ru(X)(NO)pc^2–] (X = F, Cl, Br, I, CN, NCO, NCS, NCSe, N₃, NO₂) is obtained by acidification of a solution of bis(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium) bis(nitro)phthalocyaninato(2–)ruthenate(II) in tetrahydrofurane with the corresponding conc. mineral acid or aqueous ammonium salt solution. The nitrite-nitrosyl conversion is reversal in basic media. The cyclic and differential pulse voltammograms show mainly three quasi-reversible one-electron processes at 1.05, –0.65 and –1.25 V, ascribed to the first ring oxidation and the stepwise reduction to the complexes of type {RuNO}⁷ and {RuNO}⁸, respectively. The B < Q < N regions in the electronic absorption spectra are still typical for the pc^2– ligand, but are each split into two strong absorptions (14500/16500(B); 28000/30500(Q); 34500/37000 cm^–1(N)), whose relative intensities strongly depend on the nature of the axial ligand X. In the IR spectra is active the N–O stretching vibration between 1827 (X = I) and 1856 cm^–1 (F), the C–N stretching vibration at 2178 (X = NCO), 2072 (NCS), 2066 (NCSe), 2093 cm^–1 (CN), the N–N stretching vibration of the azide ligand at 2045 cm^–1, the fundamentals of the nitrito(O) ligand at 1501, 932, and 804 cm^–1, and the Ru–X stretching vibration at 483 (F), 332 (Cl), 225 (Br), 183 (I), 395 (N₃), 364 (ONO), 403 (CN), 263 (NCS), and 231 cm^–1 (NCSe). In the resonance Raman spectra, excited in coincidence with the B region, the Ru–NO stretching vibration and the very intense Ru–N–O deformation vibration are selectively enhanced between 580 and 618 cm^–1, and between 556 and 585 cm^–1, respectively.

Über Polygermane. X. Schwingungsspektren der Homocyclen (Ph2Ge)4, (Ph2Ge)5 und (Ph2Ge)6

On Polygermanes. X. Vibrational Spectra of the Homorings (Ph₂Ge)₄, (Ph₂Ge)₅, and (Ph₂Ge)₆ IR and Raman transitions of the crystalline title compounds are given from 3100 to 100 cm^?1. The spectra are nearly identical above 350 cm^?1. The Ge_n ring vibrations range from 330 to 140 cm^?1 and are unspecifically coupled with mass sensitive phenyl modes. The distribution of the individual values is discussed by means of the intracyclic bond angles determined by X-ray structure analysis.     

Formation of GeO2 under Graphene on Ge(001)/Si(001) Substrates Using Water Vapor

The problem of graphene protection of Ge surfaces against oxidation is investigated. Raman, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements of graphene epitaxially grown on Ge(001)/Si(001) substrates are presented. It is shown that the penetration of water vapor through graphene defects on Gr/Ge(001)/Si(001) samples leads to the oxidation of germanium, forming GeO₂. The presence of trigonal GeO₂ under graphene was identified by Raman and XRD measurements. The oxidation of Ge leads to the formation of blisters under the graphene layer. It is suggested that oxidation of Ge is connected with the dissociation of water molecules and penetration of OH molecules or O to the Ge surface. It has also been found that the formation of blisters of GeO₂ leads to a dramatic increase in the intensity of the graphene Raman spectrum. The increase in the Raman signal intensity is most likely due to the screening of graphene by GeO₂ from the Ge(001) surface.     

Crystal structure of germanium(II) dichloride solvated by tetrahydrofuran

The thermally highly unstable tetrahydrofuran solvate of germanium(II) dichloride (GeCl₂ · 2THF) was crystallized, and its crystal structure was determined. It consists of a chain of GeCl₂ units connected by secondary Cl···Ge contacts [3.846(2) Å] in which each Ge atom is coordinated to two molecules of THF. Two weak hydrogen bonds of the C H ··· Cl Ge type in GeCl₂ · 2THF were also detected both with lengths of 2.90(3) Å. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cluster self-organization of germanate systems: Suprapolyhedral precursor nanoclusters and self-assembly of CAN-Na8(Al6Ge6O24)Ge(OH)6(H2O)2 and CAN-Cs2Na6(Al6Ge6O24)Ge(OH)6) zeolite crystal structures re]20100419

Geometrical and topological analysis of zeolite crystal structures having a tetrahedral framework of the cancrinite (CAN) type, namely, (CAN) Na₈(Al₆Ge₆O₂₄)Ge(OH)₆(H₂O)₂ (acentric space group P6₃, hP64, Na-CAN) and Cs₂Na₆(Al₆Ge₆O₂₄)Ge(OH)₆ (P6₃, hP52, CsNa-CAN), is carried out with the use of computer techniques (the TOPOS 4.0 program package). An AT ₆ hexapolyhedral precursor nanocluster centered with a template cation A (Na, Cs) is identified. The topological type of a two-dimensional (2D) crystalforming T-net 4.6.12, which corresponds to a uninodal semiregular Shubnikov net, is recognized. The full 3D reconstruction of crystal structure self-assembly is performed as follows: precursor nanocluster → primary chain → microlayer → microframework → … framework. The symmetry of an AT6 precursor nanocluster is described by point group 3; the symmetry axis passes through the center of the nanocluster and cation A. The coordination number (CN) of a precursor nanocluster, which characterizes the nanocluster stacking in the macrostructure, is six. In both structures, six Na atoms and a Ge(OH)₆ polyhedral species are spacers filling the voids between AT ₆ precursor nanoclusters. The Ge(OH)₆ polyhedral species is characterized by four and two orientationally allowed positions in Na-CAN and CsNa-CAN, respectively. The minimal number of suprapolyhedral AT ₆ precursor nanoclusters required for the 3D microframework to form is 16; that is, 96 tetrahedra are involved in microframework self-assembly.
