Übergangsmetall-thioketon-komplexe. Synthese und strukturaufklärung von tetracarbonyl(diphenylcyclopropenthion)eisen, [C3(C6H5)2S]Fe(CO)4

Diphenylcyclopropenethione reacts with Fe₂(CO)₉ in THF to give tetracarbonyl(diphenylcyclopropenethione)iron (C₃Ph₂S)Fe(CO)₄. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P$\text{1}$ with lattice constants a 1520.3(5), b 1026.1(3), c 933.5(2) pm; α 120.58(2), β 109.36(2), γ 111.72(2)°; Z 2. The molecule consists of an unchanged diphenylcyclopropenethione ligand coordinated via the sulphur atom to an Fe(CO)₄ group in the axial position. The CS distance is 165.2(7) pm with an FeSC angle of 111.2(2)°.     

The crystal structure of Ba2V2O7

Ba₂V₂O₇ is triclinic with a = 13.571(3), b = 7.320(2), c = 7.306(2) Å, α = 90.09(1), β = 99.48(1), β = 99.48(1), γ = 87.32(1)°, V = 7.15.1 ų, Z = 4, and space group $\text{P}\text{1}$. The crystal structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis to a R_w of 0.034 (R = 0.034) using 2484 reflections measured on a Syntex $\text{P}\text{1}$ automatic four-circle diffractometer. The structure has two unique divanadate groups that are repeated by the b and c lattice translations to form sheets of divanadate groups parallel to (100). These sheets are linked by four unique Ba atoms that lie between these sheets. Ba(1) and Ba(3) are coordinated by eight oxygens arranged in a distorted biaugmented triangular prism and a distorted cubic antiprism, respectively. Ba(2) is coordinated by 10 oxygens arranged in a distorted gyroelongated square dipyramid and Ba(4) is coordinated by nine oxygens arranged in a distorted triaugmented triangular prism. These coordination numbers are substantiated by a bond strength analysis of the structure, and the variation in 〈BaO〉 distances is compatible with the assigned cation and anion coordination numbers. Both divanadate groups are in the eclipsed configuraton with 〈VO(br)〉 bond lengths of 1.821(4) and 1.824(4) Å and VO(br)V angles of 125.6(3) and 123.7(3)°, respectively. Examination of the divanadate groups in a series of structures allows certain generalizations to be made. Longer 〈VO(br)〉 bond lengths are generally associated with smaller VO(br)V angles. When VO(br)V < 140°, the divanadate group is generally in an eclipsed configuration; when VO(br)V > 140°, the divanadate group is generally in a staggered configuration. Nontetrahedral cations with large coordination numbers require more oxygens with which to bond, and hence O(br) is more likely to be three coordinate, with the divanadate group in the eclipsed configuration. In the eclipsed configuration, decrease in VO(br)V promotes bonding between O(br) and nontetrahedral cations, and hence smaller nontetrahedral cations are generally associated with smaller VO(br)V angles.

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and crystal and molecular structure of HRu3(OCN(CH3)2)(CO)10

Dimethylamine reacts with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ to produce the η²-hydrido-η-formamido cluster complex HRu(OCN(CH₃)₂)(CO)₁₀ (I). This formulation is consistent with spectroscopic features such as the absence of v(NH) in the infrared, the presence in the Raman of v(RuHRu) at 1400 cm^?1 (v(RuDRu) at 990 cm^?1) and indication in the ¹H NMR of diastereotopic methyl groups bonded to the nitrogen atom. Since these data could not lead to an unequivocal structure assignment a single crystal X-ray study at 115 K was undertaken. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P$\text{1}$ with cell dimensions; a 7.299(33) », b 9.5037(40) », c 13.7454(57) », α 91.876(34)°, β 96.387(34)°, γ 95.341(34)° and Z = 2. The structure was solved by a combination of Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by full matrix least squares to a final R = 0.054 and R_ω = 0.074 for 3074 unique reflections. The three ruthenium atoms define a triangle of unequal sides with both the hydride and formamido groups bridging the longest edge; the formamido group is coordinated through the carbon and oxygen atoms. The edge of the ruthenium triangle bridged both by the hydrogen atom and the formamido group is 2.8755(15) »; the other two edges of the ruthenium triangle are observed to be 2.8319(15) and 2.8577(14) », respectively. In the formamido group the distance CO 1.287(9) » and CN 1.340(10) » reflect partial double bond charater in each bond consistent with observation of two chemically distinct methyl groups on the dinitrogen atom. The hydrogen atom bridging one edge of the ruthenium triangle is asymmetrically positioned at 1.73(9) » from the ruthenium atom bonded to the oxygen atom and 1.91(9) » from the ruthenium atom bonded to the carbon atom of the carboxamido group.     

Survey of the phase formation in the Yb2O3Ga2O3MO and Yb2O3Cr2O3MO systems in air at high temperatures (M: Co,Ni, Cu,and Zn)

YbGaCoO₄ (a = 3.4165(1) and c = 25.081(2) Å), YbGaCuO₄ (a = 3.4601(4) and c = 24.172(6) Å), and YbGaZnO₄ (a = 3.4153(5) and c = 25.093(7) Å), which are isostructural with YbFe₂O₄ (space group: $\text{R}\text{3}\text{m, a = 3.455(1)}$ and c = 25.109(2) Å, were obtained as stable phases. In the Yb₂O₃Ga₂O₃NiO system and the Yb₂O₃Cr₂O₃MO system (M: Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn), no ternary stable phases existed.     

L'oxyde double TeVO4 II. Structure cristalline de TeVO4-β-relations structurales

Vanadium occupies the center of a square pyramid of oxygens, an extra oxygen is at VO = 2.77 Å. These distorted octahedra share corners forming puckered sheets parallel to (010). The sheets are held together by [Te₂O₆]^4? groups in which tellurium is one-side coordinated by four oxygen atoms.     

Fulvene—platinum complexes: x-ray crystal structure of [Pt(η2-C5H4CPh2)(PPh3)2]

Bis(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum reacts with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfulvene to afford the complex [Pt(η²-CH₂C₅Ph₄)(cod)] (cod  C₈H₁₂) in which the metal atom is coordinated to the exo-cyclic double bond of the fulvene. Related compounds [Pt(η²-CH₂C₅Ph₄L₂] (L  PPh₃, PMePh₂, PMe₂Ph, AsPh₃ or CNBu^t have also been prepared and characterised. Reaction of the complexes [Pt(C₂H₄)₂(L)] (L  P(cyclo-C₆H₁₁)₃, PPh₃ or AsPh₃) with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfulvene yields the compounds [Pt(C₂H₄)(η²-CH₂C₅PH₄)(L)]. NMR data for the new species are reported and discussed. 6,6-Diphenylfulvene reacts with [Pt(cod)₂] and PPh₃ ($\text{1}\text{2}$ mol ratio) to give the complex [Pt(η²-C₅H₄CPh₂)-(PPh₃)₂] in which the metal atom is bonded to carbon atoms C(2) and C(3) of the fulvene ring. This was established by an X-ray diffraction study. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with Z  4 in a unit cell of dimensions a  13.761(4), b  21.653(13), c  17.395(6) Å, β,  104.46(2)°. The structure has been solved and refined to R  0.064 (R′  0.064) for 3139 independent diffracted intensifies measured at room temperature. The platinum atom is in a trigonal environment formed by the two ligated phosphorus atoms and the CC bond of the fulvene which is elongated to 1.52(3) Å. The c₅ fulvene ring is planar, and makes an angle of 108° with the coordination plane around the platinum. In this plane the metal atom is slightly asymmetrically bonded with PtC 2.15(2) and 2.24(2) Å, and PtP 2.280(6) and 2.301(6) Å.     

Synthesis and crystal chemistry of NH3(MoO3)3

NH₃(MoO₃)₃ crystallizes with hexagonal symmetry, space group $\text{P6}{}_3\text{m}$, lattice constants a = 10.568 Å, c = 3.726 Å, and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been determined by Patterson synthesis and refined assuming isotropic temperature factors to a final conventional R value of 0.085. The structure shows a three-dimensional arrangement built up of double chains of distorted MoO₆ octahedra, parallel to the [001] direction. The octahedral double chains are linked among each other through common oxygen atoms. In addition to the shared oxygen atoms, each molybdenum is coordinated to one terminal oxygen. MoO distances range from 1.645 to 2.378 Å and OMoO angles from 74.3 to 114.3°. These results are consistent with the fact that molybdenum in high-valence states shows octahedral coordination with terminal oxygens.     

Polyèdre de coordination de l'etain(II) dans SnC2O4: Relations structurales entre SnC2O4, Na2C2O4 et Na2Sn(C2O4)2

The crystal structure of SnC₂O₄ has been determined by X-ray single-crystal techniques and refined to R = 0,018 for 1139 reflections. The cell is monoclinic, space group $\text{C2}\text{c}$ with Z = 4 formula units, the parameters being a = 10,375(3)Å. b = 5,504(2)Å, c = 8,234(3)Å, β = 125,11(2)°. The oxalato groups, located on symmetry centers, are chelated to two Sn atoms through one oxygen on each carbon atom, giving rise to an infinite string (SnC₂O₄)_n. The Sn(II) atom is one-side bonded to four oxygen atoms with two SnO bonds of 2,232(2) Å and two of 2,393(2) Å. The tin atom is in a distorted trigonal bipyramid SnO₄E, the lone pair E occupying one of the apices of the equatorial trigonal base of the polyhedron. Crystal structure comparison with disodium bisoxalatostannate(II), Na₂Sn(C₂O₄)₂, permits one to deduce SnC₂O₄ by crystallographic shear operation $\text{1}\text{8}\text{[34}\text{2}\text{](001)}$ of $\text{c}\text{2}$ periodicity. Na₂Sn(C₂O₄)₂ can be described as an intergrowth of SnC₂O₄ and Na₂C₂O₄ structures and consldered as the first member of a new series Na₂Sn_1+n(C₂O₄)_2+n with n integer ? 0.     

Synthesis of two complexes of cadmium(II) iodide with benzenecarbothioamide (BCTA): Crystal and molecular structure of [Cd(BCTA)2I2]

The reaction between CdI₂ and benzenecarbothioamide (BCTA) in ethanol produces crystalline [Cd(BCTA)₂I₂] but in 1,2-dichloroethane it yields [Cd(BCTA)I₂] in powder form. [Cd(BCTA)₂I₂] has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, and both complexes have also been identified by infrared spectra in the solid phase, ¹H NMR, and electrical conductivity studies in solution. The crystals of [Cd(BCTA)₂I₂] are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, with a = 747.6(1) pm, b = 1958.7(13) pm, c = 1363.6(6) pm, β = 110.307(3)° and Z = 4. Least-squares refinement of the structure based on 4260 observations led to final discrepancy indices of R = 0.043 and R_w = 0.054. The geometry around the cadmium atom is slightly distorted from the tetrahedral. The BCTA is coordinated through the sulphur atom: CdI(1) = 277.2(1) pm, CdI(2) = 272.6(1) pm, CdS(1) = 256.7(3) pm, CdS(2) = 257.5(2) pm. The electrical conductivity studies and NMR and IR spectra are consistent with the structure found for [Cd(BCTA)₂I₂] and suggest a dimeric trans symmetric tetrahedral structure with halogen bridging (C_2h) for [Cd(BCTA)I₂].     

Die konformation des μ-bis[tetracarbonylrhenium(I)]-bis-[tetracarbonyl(trithiocarbonato)rhenium(I)], eines überraschenden reaktionsproduktes bei der umsetzung von CF3Re(CO)5 mit CS2

The molecular structure of [(C₆H₅)₃P]₂Pd(C₃H₄) has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data.

The coordinated allene is no longer linear, the C(1)C(2)C(3) angle being 148.3(8)°. The C(1)C(2) distance is 1.401(11) Å, whereas the uncoordinated bond remains unchanged [C(2)C(3) = 1.304(12) Å]. The Pd, P(1), P(2), C(1) and C(2) atoms lie almost in the same plane.     

Inorganic Syntheses,Volume XXI : edited by J.P. Fackler,Jr., Wiley-Interscience,New York, 1982, xvii + 215 pages, £29.25.

The 1/1 reaction of Et₂Zn with N-t-butyliminopropanone (t-BuNC(H)C(Me)O) leads to quantitative formation of dinuclear [EtZ$\text{n(Et)(t-Bu)NC(H)=C(Me)O}$]₂ via ethyl transfer within the unstable Et₂Zn(t-BuNC(H)?C(Me)O) complex. An X-ray structure determination has shown the product to have a dinuclear structure involving a N,O-chelate bonded [Et(t-Bu)NC(H)C(Me)O]^? mono-anionic ligand and a central four membered Zn₂O₂ ring formed by intermolecular ZnO coordination. Hydrolysis of this zinc complex gives a quantitative yield of N-t-butyl-N-ethylamino propanone, which upon reaction with Et₂Zn reforms the dinuclear zinc complex.

The crystal structure of [(C₈H₁₂)$\text{Ir{P(OC}$₆H₃Me)(OC₆H₄Me)₂} {P(OCH₂)₃CMe}] has been determined. a 18.32, b 18.98, c 9.35 Å, U 3251 ų, Pn2_1^a, Z = 4, R = 0.048, 2541 observed data.The coordination about the iridium atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal; the two phosphorus atoms are equatorial, the σ-bonded carbon is axial, and the bidentate cyclooctadiene is bonded axialequatorial. The IrC(axial) bonds are longer than the IrC(equatorial) bonds: 2.22, 2.26; 2.17, 2.19 Å. The IrC(σ) bond length is 2.19 Å, not significantly different from the formally π-bonded C to Ir distances. The IrP lengths of 2.201 and 2.240 Å and the PIrP angle of 108.7° are normal. The longer IrP bond is in the five-membered chelate ring. The inertness to substitution is discussed.     

La3Os2O10, a new compound containing isolated clusters Os2O10 with metal-metal bonds

The formula of a new compound isolated in the LaOsO system has been established by means of crystal structure determination. There are two La₃Os₂O₁₀ units in a face-centered monoclinic unit cell (S.G. $\text{C2}\text{m}$); a = 7.911(2) Å, b = 7.963(2) Å, c = 6.966(2)Å, β = 115.76(2)°;. For 1082 intensities, collected on an automated single-crystal diffractometer, the final R value was 0.025 after absorption corrections. The structure consists of isolated Os₂O₁₀ clusters composed of two edge-shared OsO₆ octahedra. These dimeric units are connected together by two types of La³⁺ ions in eightfold coordination. In view of the OsOs distance inside the pair (2.462 Å), La₃Os₂O₁₀ provides an example of metal-metal bonding involving a transition metal in a half-integral formal oxidation state of 5.5.     

A dichromium(II) compound with an elongated metal-metal bond: Cr2(oxindolate)4(oxindole)2

The title compound has been prepared by reaction of (C₅H₅)₂Cr with oxindole (indole with CO in place of CH₂ at the 2-position). Red single crystals belong to space group P2₁/c with a = 10.107(4) Å, b = 22.496(7) Å, c = 9.210(3) Å, β = 93.26(3)°, V = 2091(2), and Z = 2. The centrosymmetric molecule has a CrCr distance of 2.495(4) Å. The mean CrO and CrN distances for the bonds to bridging oxindolate anions are 2.024(7) and 2.065(8) Å, respectively. There is an oxindole molecule bound at each end with a CrO axial bond of length 2.341(8) Å and a hydrogen bond from the oxindole NH group to an equatorial oxygen atom of length 2.83(1) Å. The significance of this compound with respect to CrCr bonding is discussed.

Formic solutions of ADCA react with cyclic and heterocyclic conjugated dienes affording the Diels-Alder $\text{1}$ or pseudo-Michael $\text{2}$ adducts depending on the nature of the diene. Generalisation to RCCCHO and furan shows a similar behaviour (RCO₂,Et, H) and a third possible pathway (electr. subst. of CO on α of furan,RAr, Alk); mechanisms are discussed.     

Molecular structures of (SiCl3)2CH2 and (SiCl3)2CCl2 as studied by electron diffraction

An electron diffraction analysis of the molecular structures of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexachloro-1,3-disilapropane and octachloro-1,3-disilapropane has been carried out. Deviations from the staggered conformation are indicated. The data may be approximated by models with C₂ symmetry and a small tilt of the SiCl₃ groups. The main bond lengths (r_g) and bond angles obtained for (SiCl₃)₂ CH₂ are: SiCl, 202.7(4); SiC, 186.6(6); CH, 109.8(24) pm, ClSiCl, 107.9(1); SiCSi, 118.3(7)°; and for (SiCl₃)₂CCl₂: SiCl, 202.0(4); SiC, 190.2(9); CCl, 179.6(9) pm; ClSiCl, 109.5(1); SiCSi, 120.6(9); ClCCl, 110.9(16); SiCCl, 106.3(3)°.     

The enthalpies of formation of CH3Mn(CO)5 and of CH3Re(CO)5, and the strengths of the CH3Mn and CH3Re bonds

From measurements of the heats of iodination of CH₃Mn(CO)₅ and CH₃Re(CO)₅ at elevated temperatures using the ‘drop’ microcalorimeter method, values were determined for the standard enthalpies of formation at 25° of the crystalline compounds: ΔH^o_f[CH₃Mn(CO)₅, c] = ?189.0 ± 2 kcal mol^?1 (?790.8 ± 8 kJ mol^?1), ΔH^o_f[Ch₃Re(CO)₅,c] = ?198.0 ± kcal mol^?1 (?828.4 ± 8 kJ mo^?1). In conjunction with available enthalpies of sublimation, and with literature values for the dissociation energies of MnMn and ReRe bonds in Mn₂(CO)₁₀ and Re₂(CO)₁₀, values are derived for the dissociation energies: D(CH₃Mn(CO)₅) = 27.9 ± 2.3 or 30.9 ± 2.3 kcal mol^?1 and D(CH₃Re(CO)₅) = 53.2 ± 2.5 kcal mol^?1. In general, irrespective of the value accepted for D(MM) in M₂(CO)₁₀, the present results require that, D(CH₃Mn) = $\text{1}\text{2}$D(MnMn) + 18.5 kcal mol^?1 and D(CH₃Re) = $\text{1}\text{2}$D(ReRe) + 30.8 kcal mol^?1.
