Dinuclear Manganese(II) Complexes with Bridging Selenidodiarsenate Anions [As2Se4]4−, [As2Se5]4− and [As2Se6]2−

Solvothermal reaction of [MnCl₂(amine)] (amine = terpy and tren) with elemental As and Se at a 1:1:2 molar ratio in H₂O/tren (10:1) affords the dimanganese(II) complexes [{Mn(terpy)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₄)] ( 1 ) and [{Mn(tren)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₅)] ( 2 ) respectively. The tetradentate [As₂Se₄]^4? bridging ligands in 1 contain a central As–As bond and exhibit approximately C_2h symmetry. Pairs of gauche sited Se atoms participate in five‐membered As₂Se₂Mn chelate rings. In contrast, two AsSe₃ pyramids share a common corner in the [As₂Se₅]^4? ligands of 2 and each coordinates an [Mn(tren)]²⁺ fragment through a single terminal Se atom. Such dinuclear complexes are linked into tetranuclear moieties through weak Se···Mn interactions of length 3.026(3) Å involving one of these terminal Se atoms. At a 1:3:6 molar ratio, solvothermal reaction of [MnCl₂(tren)] with As and Se leads to formation of a second dinuclear complex [{Mn(tren)}₂(μ‐As₂Se₆)₂] ( 3 ), which contains two bridging bidentate [As₂Se₆]^2? ligands. These are cyclic with an As₂Se₄ ring and can be regarded as being derived from [As₂Se₅]^4? anions by formation of two Se‐Se bonds to an additional Se atom.     

Cyclische Polyselenidoarsenate(III) und -antimonate(III): PPh4[Se5AsSe], PPh4[AsSe6–xSx], (PPh4)2[As2Se6] · 2 CH3CN und (PPh4)2[Se6SbSe]2

Cyclic Polyselenidoarsenates(III) and Polyselenidoantimonates(III): PPh₄[Se₅AsSe], PPh₄[AsSe_6–xS _x ], (PPh₄)₂[As₂Se₆] · 2 CH₃CN, and (PPh₄)₂[Se₆SbSe]₂ In acetonitrile, AsCl₃ and sodiumphenolate formed Cl₂AsOPh which then was reacted with PPh₄Se₅ and finally with Na₂Se to yield PPh₄[Se₅AsSe]. With Na₂S instead of Na₂Se, PPh₄[AsSe_6–xS_x] was obtained; the sulfur contents increased with increasing reaction temperature and time (x = 0.21 to 1.09). With PPh₄Se₂ instead of PPh₄Se₅, (PPh₄)₂[1,4-As₂Se₆] · 2 CH₃CN and PPh₄[Se₅AsSe] were the products. With SbCl₃ instead of AsCl₃, (PPh₄)₂[Se₆SbSe]₂ formed. PPh₄[Se₅AsSe] can also be produced from As₂Se₃, PPh₄Br, Na₂Se and selenium in acetonitrile. The crystal structure of PPh₄[SeAsSe₅] is isotypic with PPh₄[S₅AsS] (X-ray structure analysis with 2414 observed reflexions, R = 0.038). The Se₅AsSe^– ion consists of a six-membered AsSe₅ ring in chair conformation, and the As atom has an additional terminal Se atom. The compounds PPh₄[AsSe_6–xS_x] have the same crystal structures, with sulfur atoms taking all selenium positions at random, but with a preference for the terminal position. The anion in (PPh₄)₂[As₂Se₆] · 2 CH₃CN also has a six-membered ring structure in chair conformation, with two arsenic atoms in positions 1 and 4. The centrosymmetric anion in (PPh₄)₂[Se₆SbSe]₂ consists of a central Sb₂Se₂ ring, and a Se₆ ligand is bonded in a chelating manner to each Sb atom (X-ray structure analysis with 2669 observed reflexions, R = 0.099). ⁷⁷Se-NMR spectra are reported.

The average terminal and bridging Se? Cl bond distances are 2.273 and 2.680 Å, respectively. From redox reactions of elemental Se with boranate/thiolate in ethanol/DMF the bis(pentaselenido)selenate(+II) anion [Se(Se₅)₂]^2? was prepared as a novel type of a mixed-valent chalcogenide.

Se bond lengths: 2.658 Å at Se(+II), 2.322 Å in [Se₅]_2?). The resulting six-membered chelate rings with chair conformation are spirocyclically linked through the central Se(+II). The vibrational spectra of the new anions are reported.

[Na(12-Krone-4)2]2[Ni(Se4)2] · DMF; Synthese,Kristallstruktur und magnetisches Verhalten

[Na(12-Crown-4)₂]₂[Ni(Se₄)₂] · DMF; Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Behaviour The title compound has been prepared from NiCl₂ and sodium polyselenide in dimethylformamide solution in the presence of 12-crown-4, forming black crystal needles. They were characterized by an X-ray structure determination, by FIR spectroscopy as well as by the magnetic behaviour. [Na(12-crown-4)₂]₂[Ni(Se₄)₂] · DMF crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P2₁, 3650 observed unique reflections, R = 0.046. Lattice dimensions at ?80°C: a = 1020.3(2); b = 1889.5(2); c = 1498.7(3) pm; β = 108.29(1)°. The compound has an ionic structure, in which the sodium atoms of the [Na(12-crown-4)₂]⁺ cations are coordinated by the oxygen atoms of the crown ether molecules in an antiprismatic fashion. The nickel atom of the anion [Ni(Se₄)₂]^2? is surrounded by four selenium atoms of the tetraselenide chelates in an almost planar environment. The DMF molecules are inserted in the lattice without a bonding interaction. The magnetic susceptibility observed in the temperature interval 4.2 to 330K can be interpreted by means of a ³E ground term and D₂ as local symmetry, which was established by X-ray crystallography.
