New Dimeric Gold Selenolates: Preparation and Characterization of [(n-C₄H₉)₄N]₂[AuSSeC ? C(CN)₂]₂ and [(n-C₄H₉)₄N]₂[AuSe₂C ? C(CN)₂]₂ The preparation and structural characterization of the dimeric Au^I complexes of 1,1-dicyanoethene-2,2-thioseleonlate (i-mnts) and 1,1-dicyanoethene-2,2-diselenolate (i-mns), isolated as Bu₄N salts, are described. They are isotype (monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 2) with lattice parameters: (Bu₄N)₂[Au(i-mnts)]₂; a = 14.078(3) Å, b = 8.912(3) Å, c = 20.142(4) Å, β = 106.32(5)°; (Bu₄N)₂[Au(i-mns)]₂; a = 13.998(3) Å, b = 9.125(3) Å, c = 20.039(2) Å, β = 105.12(5)°. Ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations based on the experimentally determined structure yield a positive value of the Au? Au bonding order suggesting weak bonding interactions between the d¹⁰ metal centres.     

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of trans ‐( n ‐Bu₄N)₄[Pt(ECN)₂(ox)₂], E = S, Se By reaction of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(ox)₂] with (SCN)₂ and (SeCN)₂ in dichloromethane trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SCN)₂(ox)₂] ( 1 ) und trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SeCN)₂(ox)₂] ( 2 ) are formed. The crystal structures of 1 (triclinic, space group P1, a = 10.219(2), b = 11.329(2), c = 12.010(3) Å, α = 114.108(15), β = 104.797(20), γ = 102.232(20)°, Z = 1) and 2 (triclinic, space group P1, a = 10.288(1), b = 11.332(1), c = 12.048(1) Å, α = 114.391(9), β = 103.071(10), γ = 102.466(12)°, Z = 1) reveal, that the compounds crystallize isotypically with centrosymmetric complex anions. The bond lengths are Pt–S = 2.357, Pt–Se = 2.480 and Pt–O = 2.011 ( 1 ) und 2.006 Å ( 2 ). The oxalato ligands are nearly plane with O–C–C–O torsion angles of 1.7–3.6°. The via S or Se coordinated linear groups are inclined between both oxalato ligands with Pt–E–C angles of 100.4 (E = S) and 97.4° (Se). In the vibrational spectra the PtE stretching vibrations are observed at 299–314 ( 1 ) and 189–200 cm^–1 ( 2 ). The PtO stretching vibrations are coupled with internal vibrations of the oxalato ligands and appear in the range of 400–800 cm^–1. Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determinations the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(PtS) = 1.75, f_d(PtSe) = 1.35 and f_d(PtO) = 2.77 mdyn/Å. The NMR shifts are δ(¹⁹⁵Pt) = 5435.2 ( 1 ), 5373.7 ( 2 ) and δ(⁷⁷Se) = 353.2 ppm with the coupling constant ¹J(SePt) = 37.4 Hz.     

Fluorierung von Cyanurchlorid und Tieftemperatur-Kristallstruktur von [(ClCN)3F]+ [AsF6]−

Fluorination of Cyanuric Chloride and Low-Temperature Crystal Structure of [(ClCN)₃F]⁺[AsF₆]^? The low-temperature fluorination of cyanuric chloride, (ClCN)₃, with F₂/AsF₅ in SO₂F₂ solution yielded the salt [(ClCN)₃F]⁺ [AsF₆]^? ( 1 ) essentially in quantitative yield. Compound 1 was identified by a low-temperature single crystal X-ray structure determination: R 3 c, trigonal, a = b = 10.4246(23) Å, c = 15.1850(24) Å, V = 1429.1(4) Å 3, Z = 6, R_F = 0.056, R_w = 0.076 (for significant reflections), R_F = 0.088, R_w = 0.079 (for all reflections). Fluorination of neat (ClCN)₃ with [NF₄]⁺ [Sb₂F₁₁]^? yielded NF₃, CClF₃, SbF₃, N₂ and traces of CF₄. A qualitative scale for the oxidizing strength of the oxidative fluorinators NF₄⁺ and (XCN)₃F⁺ (X = H, F, Cl) has been computed ab initio.

Crystalline NO[Mn(NO₃)₃] ( I ) and (NO)₂[Co(NO₃)₄] ( II ) were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding metal and a liquid N₂O₄/ethylacetate mixture. I is orthorhombic, Pca2₁, a = 9.414(2), b = 15.929(3), c = 10.180(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0286. II is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 14.463(3), b = 19.154(4), c = 13.724(3) Å, β = 120.90(3), Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0890. Structure I consists of [Mn(NO₃)₃]^– sheets with NO⁺ cations between them. Two types of Mn atoms have CN_Mn = 7 and 8. Structure II is ionic containing isolated [Co(NO₃)₄]‐anions and NO⁺ cations with CN_Co = 8. Crystals of Mn(NO₃)₂ ( III ) and Co(NO₃)₂ ( IV ) were obtained by concentration of metal nitrate hydrate solutions in 100% HNO₃ in a desiccator with P₂O₅. III is cubic, Pa 3, a = 7.527(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0987. IV is trigonal, R 3, a = 10.500(2), c = 12.837(3) Å, Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0354. The three dimensional structure III is isotypic to the strontium and barium dinitrates. Structure IV contains a three dimensional network of interconnected Co(NO₃)_6/3 units with a distorted octahedral coordination environment of Co atoms. General correlations between central atom coordination and coordination modes of NO₃ groups are discussed.
