The structure contains isolated cluster anions, [Re₃ClClCl^i,t (H₂O)]^?, which are enclosed by a cage of water molecules. These building units are connected with each other through a “strong” hydrogen-bonding system.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from three dimensional x-ray data obtained by the multiple film method. The space group is P2_l/n and the cell dimensions are: a = 14.90, b = 16.84, c = 8.38 Å; β = 93.5° Z = 4.

Schwingungsspektren der Clusterverbindungen (M6X)X · 8 H2O,M = Nb,Ta; Xi = CI,Br; Xa = CI,Br, I

Vibrational Spectra of the Cluster Compounds (M₆X₁₂ⁱ) · 8H₂O, M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I IR and, for the first time, Raman spectra at 80 K of the cluster compounds (M₆X)X · 8H₂O; M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I, have been recorded, characterized by typical frequencies of the (M₆X) unit, which are only slightly influenced by the terminal X^a ligands. The most intense line with the depolarisation ≈? 0.2 in all Raman spectra is caused by inphase movement of all atoms and assigned to the symmetric metal-metal vibration v₁, observed for the clusters (Nb₆Cl) at 233–234, for (Nb₆Br) at 186–187, for (Ta₆Cl) at 199–203, and for (Ta₆Br) at 176–179 cm^?1. The IR spectra exhibit in the same series intense bands at 233, 204, 207, and 179 cm^?1, assigned to the antisymmetric metal-metal vibration. The metal-metal frequencies are significantly higher than discussed before. The tantalum clusters show on excitation with the krypton line 647.1 nm in the region of a d–d transition at 645 nm a resonance Raman effect with series of overtones and combination bands. In case of (Ta₆Br) another polarisized band is observed at 229 cm^?1 and assigned to the Ta? Brⁱ vibration v₂. From the progressions of v₁ and v₂ anharmonicity constants of about ?3 cm^?1 are calculated indicating a strong distortion of the potential curves.

Zur Struktur von zwei Hydraten des Natriumphenolats: C6H5ONa · H2O und C6H5ONa · 3 H2O

The Structures of two Hydrates of Sodium Phenoxide: C₆H₅ONa · H₂O and C₆H₅ONa · 3 H₂O In the monohydrate of sodium phenoxide sodium is coordinated by 4 oxygen atoms having an average distance Na? O of about 2.631 Å being arranged in form of a distorted tetrahedron. The oxygen atoms of water and phenoxid serve as bridging ligands. Hence, the structure can be considered as a network with a general formula [Na^[4]O]. Moreover, the oxygen atoms are linked via hydrogen bonding. In the trihydrate of sodium phenoxide sodium is surrounded with 5 oxygen atoms with an average distance of 2.39 Å forming a tetragonal pyramide. The oxygen of the phenoxide, however, does not participate in the coordination of the sodium ion. The coordination polyhedrons are connected by sharing edges and verteces. The resulting layer can be described by the general formula [Na^[5]O₂^[2]O^[2]O^[1]]. Via hydrogen bonding the phenoxide ions are attached to this layer.

One‐ to Three‐Dimensional CuI and CuCN Based Coordination Polymers containing the Alkali Cation Ligating Thiacrown Ether 1, 10‐Dithia‐18‐Crown‐6

Treatment of an acetonitrile solution of CuI with 1, 10‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 (1, 10DT18C6) in the presence of Rb₂CO₃ leads to formation of the lamellar coordination polymer [Rb{Cu₄I₅(1, 10DT18C6)₂}] ( 1 ).The anionic network of 1 is composed of parallel [(Cu₄I₅)^—] chains linked by bridging thiacrown ether ligands, pairs of which coordinate the Rb⁺ counter cations. [Cs{Cu₅I₆(1, 10DT18C6)₂}] ( 2 ) can be prepared under similar conditions but contains separated helical anionic chains. In this case 1, 10DT18C6 ligands bridge copper atoms of individual chains in an intrastrand manner. In contrast the coordination networks in [(CuCN)₂(1, 10DT18C6)] ( 3 ) and [K₂{Cu₁₂(CN)₁₄(1, 10DT18C6)₃} · CH₃CN] ( 4 ) are both three‐dimensional and based on CuCN‐containing sheets bridged by 1, 10DT18C6 ligands. In the latter compound pairs of K⁺ cations are coordinated by groups of three thiacrown ether molecules. The neutral network of 3 can imbibe up to 31 % KNO₃ per 1, 10DT18C6 pair without loss of lattice integrity.

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0 – 8 The complete system of the innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆BrCl)⁴⁺ is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound Br^a on tempering the solid [(Mo₆Cl)Br] at 500°C for 16 h. After conversion with conc. HCl into (H₃O)₂[(Mo₆BrCl)Cl] and precipitation of the outer Cl^a with AgBF₄ in ethanol, treatment with tetrabutylammonium(TBA)fluoride yields (TBA)₂ [(Mo₆BrCl)F], a mixture of 22 different species. According to the sets of chemical equivalent fluorine atoms in total 55 ¹⁹F nmr signals are expected, which are really observed in the high resolution 1D-¹⁹F-nmr spectrum. Using increments of chemical shifts, peak intensities and multiplet structures as well as the 2D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum the complete and unambiguous assignment of all resonances is achieved. From the measured integral intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined, revealing statistical formation of the geometrical isomers.

Selektive Darstellung zweifach diorganophosphido-verbrückter Metallatetrahedrane [Re2(MPR3)2(μ-PR2)2(CO)6] mit Re2M2-Metallgerüst (M = Au,Ag)

Selective Preparation of Twofold Diorganophosphido-bridged Metallatetrahedranes [Re₂(MPR₃)₂(μ-PR₂)₂(CO)₆] with Re₂M₂ Metal Core (M = Au, Ag) The reaction of the in situ prepared salt Li[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₇Cl] (R = R′ = Cy ( 1 a ), R = Cy, R′ = Ph ( 1 b ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy ( 1 c ), R = Ph, R′ = Et ( 1 d ), R = Ph, R′ = Ph ( 1 e )) with one equivalent HPR in methanolic solution at room temperature yields the neutral cluster complexes [Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₇(ax-HPR) (R = R′ = R″ = Cy ( 2 a ), Ph ( 2 b ), R = R′ = Cy, R″ = Et ( 2 c ), R = Cy, R′ = R″ = Ph ( 2 d ), R = Cy, R′ = Ph, R″ = Et ( 2 e ), R = R″ = Ph, R′ = Et ( 2 f ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy, R″ = Et (2 g)). Photochemically induced these complexes react in the presence of the organic base DBU in THF solution to give the doubly phosphido bridged anions Li[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆], which were characterized as salts PPh₄[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆] (R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 3 a ), R = R′ = Ph, R″ = Cy ( 3 b ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy, R″ = Et ( 3 c ), R = R″ = Ph, R′ = Et ( 3 d )). These precursor complexes 3 then react with one equivalent of ClMPR (M = Au, Ag) to doubly phosphido bridged metallatetrahedranes [Re₂(MPR₃)₂(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆] (M = Au, R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 4 a ), M = Au, R′ = Et, R = R″ = Ph ( 4 b ), M = Au, R = R′ = Ph, R″ = Cy ( 4 c ), M = Au, R = Cy, R′ = Ph, R″ = Et ( 4 d ), M = Ag, R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 4 e )).

Cis-/Trans-Isomerie bei Bis-(trisalkoxy)-hexavanadaten: cis-Na2[VO7(OH)6{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}2] · 8 H2O,cis-(CN3H6)3[VIVVO13{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}2] · 4,5 H2O und trans-(CN3H6)2[VO13{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}2] · H2O

Cis-/Trans-Isomerism of Bis-(trisalkoxy)-hexavanadates: cis-Na₂[V O₇(OH)₆{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₂] · 8 H₂O, cis-(CN₃H₆)₃[V^IVV O₁₃{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₂] · 4.5 H₂O and trans-(CN₃H₆)₂[V O₁₃{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₂] · H₂O Polyoxovanadates with distorted Lindquist-structure, in which six of the twelve μ₂-oxygen atoms are formally replaced by the oxygen atoms of two coordinated pentaerythritol ligands, can be prepared by a simple method in an aqueous medium. The “fully reduced”, six-fold protonated compound cis-Na₂[VO₇(OH)₆{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₂] · 8 H₂O ( 1 ), the mixed valence species cis-(CN₃H₆)₃[V^IVVO₁₃{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₂] · 4.5 H₂O ( 2 ) containing one localized V^IV centre and the “fully oxidized” compound trans-(CN₃H₆)₂[VO₁₃{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂ · OH}₂] · H₂O ( 3 ) have been synthesized and characterized by UV/VIS-, IR- and EPR-spectroscopy, by magnetic measurements, cyclic voltammetry and by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The organic {(CH₂)₃CCH₂OH}³⁺-groups tend to cap the triangular faces formed by μ₂-oxygen atoms of the central approximately octahedral {V₆O₁₉}-unit. Therefore the anions of bis-(trisalkoxy)-hexavanadates can exist in a trans-form as well as in an isomeric cis-form referring to a “basic” plane of four vanadium atoms of the {V₆}-octahedron. The different relative positions of the ligands have a significant influence on the redox potentials of the compounds. For structural details see “Inhaltsübersicht”.     

The Influence of the Ligands Cp*(η5‐C5Me5) and Cp(η5‐C5H5) on the Stability and Reactivity of Titanocene and Zirconocene Complexes: Reactions of the Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene Permethylmetallocene Complexes (η5‐C5Me5)2M(η2‐Me3SiC2SiMe3), M = Ti,Zr, with H2O and CO2

The reactions of the bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene permethylmetallocene complexes CpM(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃) (M = Ti ( 1 ), M = Zr ( 2 )) with H₂O and CO₂ were studied and compared to those of the corresponding metallocene complexes Cp₂M(L)(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃) (M = Ti ( 3 ), L = – ; M = Zr, L = THF ( 4 )) to understand the influence of the ligands Cp(η⁵‐C₅H₅) and Cp*(η⁵‐C₅Me₅) as well as the metals titanium and zirconium on the reaction pathways and the obtained products. In the reaction of the permethyltitanocene complex 1 with water the dihydroxy complex CpTi(OH)₂ ( 5 ) was formed. This product differs from the well‐known titanoxane Cp₂TiOTiCp₂ which was obtained by the reaction of the corresponding titanocene complex 3 with water. The reaction of the permethylzirconocene complex 2 with water gives the mononuclear alkenyl zirconocene hydroxide 6 . An analogous product was assumed as the first step in the reaction of the corresponding zirconocene complex 4 with water which ends up in a dinuclear zirconoxane. In the conversion of the permethylzirconocene complex 2 with carbon dioxide the mononuclear insertion product 7 was formed by coupling of carbon dioxide and the acetylene. In contrast, the corresponding zirconocene complex 4 affords, by an analogous reaction, a dinuclear complex. In additional experiments the known complex CpZr(η²‐PhC₂SiMe₃) ( 8 ) was prepared, starting from CpZrCl₂ and Mg in the presence of PhC≡CSiMe₃. This complex reacts with carbon dioxide resulting in a mixture of the regioisomeric zirconafuranones 9 a and 9 b . From these in the complex 9 a , having the SiMe₃ group in β‐position to the metal, the Zr–C bond was quickly hydrolyzed by water to give the complex CpZr(OH)OC(=O)–C(SiMe₃)=CHPh ( 10 a ) compared to complex ( 9 b ) which gives slowly the complex CpZr(OH)OC(=O)–CPh=CH(SiMe₃) ( 10 b ).     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von trans-(Ph4As)2[OsCl2(NCS)(SCN)], Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse

Preparation and Crystal Structure of trans-(Ph₄As)₂[OsCl₂(NCS) (SCN) ], Vibrational Spectra and Normal Coordinate Analysis By treatment of trans-[OsCl₂I₄]^2? with (SCN)₂ in dichloromethane a mixture of different linkage isomers is formed, from which trans-[OsCl₂(NCS)(SCN)]^2? has been isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The X-Ray structure determination on a single crystal of trans-(Ph₄As)₂[OsCl₂(NCS)(SCN)] (triclinic, space group P 1 , a = 12.505(5), b = 12.056(5), c = 19.833(5) Å, α = 108.047(5)°, β = 91.964(5)°, γ = 117.048(5)°, Z = 2) reveals that two cis-positioned Thiocyanate(N) groups are coordinated with Os? N? C angles of 172.1° and 173.0° and two cis-positioned Thiocyanate(S) groups are coordinated with Os? S? C angles of 106.9° and 108.7°. Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determination the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salt of the linkage isomer are assigned by a normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants are f_d(OsN) = 1.63 and f_d(OsS) = 1.30 mdyn/Å. Taking into account the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved.

Hydrogen bonds between H₂O as donor and OH^? are characterized by raman spectroscopy.     

Untersuchungen im System PO?WO?H2O?H3O+

Investigations in the System PO ? WO ? H₂O? H₃O⁺ By means of the molar ratio and Job'S method of continuous variations modified by us the composition of heteropolytungstates was determined using for the first time UV absorption spectroscopic techniques. For the case of the 1P:12W complex it is shown: In Na₂HPO₄ solutions acidified with HCl only the 12-tungstophosphate anion [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3? is formed. The complex formation in dependence on the acid degree Z is complete at Z = 23 H₃O⁺/12 WO = 1.92. For Z = 2.0 the consumption of H₃O⁺ has been calculated to be 5 moles H₃O⁺/1 mole HPO. Using Babko'S dilution method the stability constant of [PW₁₂O₄₀]^3? was determined to be β_k = 2.4 · 10¹² l² · mole^?2.
