Zur Chemie und Strukturchemie von Phosphiden und Polyphosphiden. 44. Tricäsiumheptaphosphid Cs3P7: Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften

Chemistry and Structural Chemistry of Phosphides and Ployphosphides. 44. Tricesium Heptaphosphide Cs₃P₇: Preparation, Structure, and Properties Tricesium heptaphosphide is prepared from the elements by a quantitative reaction at 1200 K in Nb ampoules. Slow cooling yield the bright yellow α-Cs₃P₇, quenching the yellow orange coloured β-Cs₃P₇. The crystalline α-Cs₃P₇ transforms at 552 K in a first order phase transition to the plastically crystalline β-Cs₃P₇. Both modifications are sensitive against moisture and oxygen and are completely soluble in ethylendiamine yielding a pale yellow solution. At room temperature the ³¹P nmr spectra of such solutions show only one singulett, which corresponds to the valence tautomerism of the P₇^3? anion. α-Cs₃P₇ crystallizes in a new structure type (P4₁, a = 904.6(1) pm; c = 1671.4(4) pm; Z = 4). The structure is formed by heptaphospha-nortricyclene anions P₇^3? and Cs⁺ cations. The cs atoms connect the anions forming a three-dimensional arrangement (d?(Cs? P) = 374 pm), not allowing the fragmentation into discrete Cs₃P₇ units. The P? P distances differ by their function in the nortricyclene anion. Each P₇ group is surrounded by 12 Cs atms. β-Cs₃P₇ crystallizes in the Li₃Bi type of structure (Fm3 M; a(573 K) = 1130.5(1)pm; Z = 4). The P atoms of the P₇^3? anions surround the Bi positions with an orienational disorder. The orientation has been investigated with a mixed crystal Ca₃(P₇)_2/3(P₁₁)_1/2 (Fm3 m; a (298 K) = 1149.5(9) pm; Z = 4).

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. VII. Formation and Structure of [Li(DME)₃]₂{(SiMe₃)[Cr(CO)₅]₂ P-P ? P-P[Cr(CO)₅]₂(SiMe₃)} Deep red crystals of the title compound 1 are produced in the reaction of LiP(Me₃Si)₂[Cr(CO)₅] with 1, 2-dibromoethane in DME. The structure of 1 was derived from the investigation of the ³¹P-NMR spectra and confirmed by a single crystal structure determination. 1 crystallizes in the space group P1 (no. 2); a = 1307.8(5)pm, b = 1373.1(5)pm, c = 1236.1(4)pm, α = 106.22(4)°, β = 88.00(3)°, γ = 115.52(4)° and Z = 1. 1 forms a salt composed of a dianion R₂R₄′P₄^2? (R ? SiMe₃, R′ ? Cr(CO)₅) and solvated Li⁺ cations. The zigzag shaped dianion possesses the symmetry 1 -C_i. The distances d(P? P) = 202.5(1)pm and d(P? P) = 221.9(1)pm correspond to a double bond and single bonds, respectively. The distances d(Cr? P) = 251.1(1) pm and 255.3(1) pm are larger than those observed so far which might be caused by the charge distribution in the dianion.

Chemistry and Structural Chemistry of Phosphides and Polyphosphides. 36. Tetrapotassiumhexaphosphide: Preparation, Structure, and Properties of α-K₄P₆ and β-K₄P₆ Tetrapotassiumhexaphosphide has been prepared quantitatively by reaction of the elements at 870 K in sealed Nb and Ta ampoules, respectively. Two crystalline modifications are formed: α-K₄P₆ is stable below 850 K, β-K₄P₆ is stable above this temperature. Both compounds are black semiconductors (E_G(α) = 0.55 eV) with metallic lustre. The orthorhombic structures are defect variants of the hexagonal AlB₂ type structures (K₄P₆□₂) and of a different stacking sequence of this type. Characteristic building units are planar isometric P₆ rings, formed by a specific ordering of defects in the partial structure of the major component. The short P? P distances (215.5 pm and 215.0 pm, respectively) are about 30 pm shorter than the distances compared with a single bond (221 pm). They represent one double bond which is delocalized about six bonds or an aromatic 2π-system. The thermal decomposition in tantalum crucibles, the reaction with quartz walls as well as the reaction with benzophenone in monoglyme yields quantitatively K₃P₇. The reaction with RCl ? Me₃SnCl in monoglyme at 223 K results in the formation of P₇R₃ with high yield (75%). Very probably the valence fluctuating hexaphosphene(4) system is formed at 195 K in the primary reaction step (³¹P-NMR, singulett at 473 ppm downfield).

Bariumdecaphosphide BaP₁₀ Black, reflective crystals of BaP₁₀ are formed by the reaction of BaP₃ with red phosphorus at 1 050 K. The absorption edge at 765 nm corresponds to a band gap of 1.62 eV. The compound is resistant to both acids and bases. The thermal decomposition to Ba₃P₁₄ and then to BaP₃ and other lower phosphides occurs at 725 K. BaP₁₀ crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmc2₁ (No. 36) with 4 formula units (a = 645.2(1), b = 1 258.9(2), c = 1 192.7(2) pm). The structure (632 reflections hkl; R = 0.019) contains the 2-dimensional infinite polyanion [P₁₀^2?], which also characterizes the structure of TlP₅. It originates through the connection of 1-dimensional pentagonal phosphorus tubes, which corresponds to those in the structure of Hittorf's phosphorus and KP₁₅ (bond lengths P? P = 215.0–224.5 pm). Ba is coordinated by 12 P-atoms with distances of 332.7 pm to 374.3 pm.

Formation and Structure of iso-Tetraphosphane P[P(SiMe₃)Me]₃ The reaction of MeP(SiMe₃)₂ with PCl₃ (molar ratio 3:1, ?78°C, n-pentane) yields by cleaving of the P? Si bond P[P(SiMe₃)Me]₃ 1 with Cl₂P? P(SiMe₃)Me and ClP[P(SiMe₃)Me]₂ as intermediates. The reaction rate decreases by the increase of phosphorylation. The last reaction step (formation of 1 ) occurs while warming up to room temperature. 1 forms colorless hexagonal crystals, melting point 65 ± 1°C. Tris(trimethylsilyl-methyl-phosphino)phosphane 1 crystallizes monoclinically in the space group Cc (No. 8) with Z = 8 formula units per unit cell. The molecules possess approximated C₃ symmetry and have (RRR) and (SSS) configurations, respectively. The bond distances d?(P? P) = 220.1 pm, d?(P? C) = 186.5 pm, and d?(P? Si) = 225.2 pm are normal and within the expected range of known distances. According to repulsive interactions between the non bonded electron pairs of the terminal P atoms and the protons of the methyl groups the angles at the central and terminal P atoms are enlarged to ? P P P = 105.1° and ? P P C = 106.9°, respectively.

Preparation, Structure, and Properties of the Alkali Metal Monophosphides NaP and KP The monophosphides NaP and KP were prepared by reaction of the elements in sealed glass ampoules at 725 K and 765 K, respectively. NaP yields as black reflecting needles, whereas KP is formed as microcrystalline substance with colour of coke. The compounds react very rapidly with aqueous reagents forming solid polymeric yellow phosphanes (PH)_x and partially gaseous products. NaP and KP crystallize in the novel orthorhombic NaP type (P 2₁2₁2₁; a = 603,8 pm; b = 564.3 pm; c = 1 014.2 pm and a = 650.0 pm; b = 601.6 pm; c = 1 128.8 pm; Z = 8, respectively) characterized by onedimensional infinite ¹∞(P^?) helices of covalent twofold bonded P-atoms with mean bond length P? P = 223.9 pm. The compounds can be described as Zintl-phases with M⁺ and P^? with respect to the structure. The range of existence of the NaP type and the LiAs type structure can be separated by the radii ratios. The volume increment for P^? is V(P^?) = 18.0 cm³mol^?1. For the bond energy E(P? P) in the monophosphides a value of 248 kJ · mol^?1 is calculated. The structures are discussed in detail together with related compounds.

Molecular and Crystal Structure of the Triisopropylundecaphosphane P₁₁(i-Pr)₃ The compound 4,7,11-triisopropyl-pentacyclo[6.3.0.0^2.6.0^3.10.0^5.9]undecaphosphane, C₉H₂₁P₁₁, crystallizes triclinically in the space group P1 with a = 1 045.3 pm, b = 1 057.2 pm, c = 1 075,0 pm, α = 101.00°, β = 98.89°, γ = 112.27° and Z = 2. The main structural feature is a phosphorus skeleton with approximate symmetry D₃ composed of six five-membered rings which are asymmetrically substituted by the isopropyl groups. The (average) bond lengths are d(P? P) = 221.6 pm, d(P? C) = 187.5 pm, d(C? C) = 151.4 pm, d(C? H) = 108 pm with 217.6 ≤ d(P? P) ≤ 226.4 pm. The geometry of the substituents is quite normal.     

Kristallstrukturen von MgCr2O4-Typ Li2VCl4 und Spinell-Typ Li2MgCl4 und Li2CdCl4

Crystal Structures of MgCrO₄-type Li₂VCl₄ and Spinel-type Li₂MgCl₄ and Li₂CdCl₄ The crystal structures of the ternary lithium chlorides Li₂MCl₄ (M = Mg, V, Cd) have been determined firstly by X-ray single-crystal experiments. Li₂MgCl₄ and Li₂CdCl₄ crystallize in an inverse spinel structure (space group Fd3 m, Z = 8, a = 1 040.1(2) and 1 062.06(9) pm, structural parameters u = 0.25699(2) and 0.2550(1), R = 1.7 and 3.7% for 218 and 211 unique reflections). The Li? Cl distances of the tetrahedrally coordinated Li⁺ ions are significantly greater than calculated with Shannon's crystal radii ( > 238 ± 1 instead of 233 pm). Contrary to the results of X-ray powder data reported in the literature, Li₂VCl₄ crystallizes in the distorted spinel structure of MgCr₂O₄ type (space group F4 3m, Z = 8, a = 1 037.49(2) pm, R = 5.9% for 217 unique reflections). The decrease of the site symmetry of the octahedrally coordinated ions (V²⁺, Li⁺) from 3 m to 3m resulting in contracted and widened tetrahedral M₄ entities of the spinel structure is obviously caused by V? V metal—metal bonds (shortest V? V distance 366.2(7) pm).

Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Properties of KLi₂As The novel arsenide KLi₂As has been synthesized either from the elements or from mixtures of the binary components Li₃As and K₃As in sealed Nb ampoules at 823 K and 623 K, respectively. It crystallizes in the space group Pmmn (no. 59) with a = 445.8(9); b = 671.5(11); c = 627.0(12) pm and Z = 2 formula units. The metallic reflecting silvercoloured platelets hydrolize rapidly under wet air. The compound (Pearson code oP8) is isopuntal with BaLi₂Si and an intermediate between the Li₃N and the Na₃As type of structure. Potassium is distorted tetrahedrally coordinated by four As atoms (d(K? As) = 355 and 367 pm), arsenic by four potassium and six lithium atoms (d(As? K) = 355–367 pm; d(As? Li) = 260–265 pm) in form of a sphenocorona. Lithium is threefold coordinated (distorted trigonal planar) by arsenic and this unit is enveloped by a monocapped trigonal prism build by three lithium and four potassium atoms.     

Einkristalle von La[AsO4] im Monazit‐ und Sm[AsO4] im Xenotim‐Typ

Single Crystals of La[AsO₄] with Monazite‐ and Sm[AsO₄] with Xenotime‐Type Structure Brick‐shaped, transparent single crystals of colourless monazite‐type La[AsO₄] (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 676.15(4), b = 721.03(4), c = 700.56(4) pm, β =104.507(4)°, Z = 4) and pale yellow xenotime‐type Sm[AsO₄] (tetragonal, I4₁/amd, a = 718.57(4), c = 639.06(4) pm, Z = 4) emerge as by‐products from alkali and rare‐earth metal chloride fluxes whenever the synthesis of lanthanide(III) oxoarsenate(III) derivatives from admixtures of the corresponding sesquioxides in sealed, evacuated silica ampoules is accompanied by air intrusion and subsequent oxidation. Nine oxygen atoms from seven discrete [AsO₄]^3? tetrahedra recruit the rather irregular coordination sphere of La³⁺ (d(La³⁺?O^2?) = 248 – 266 pm plus 291 pm) and even a tenth ligand could be considered at a distance of 332 pm. The trigonal dodecahedral figure of coordination consisting of eight oxygen atoms at distances of 236 and 248 pm (4× each) about Sm³⁺ is provided by only six isolated tetrahedral [AsO₄]^3? units. Alternating trans‐edge condensation of the latter with the [LaO₉₊₁] polyhedra of monazite‐type La[AsO₄] and the [SmO₈] polyhedra of xenotime‐type Sm[AsO₄] constitutes the main structural chain features along [100] or [001], respectively. The bond distances and angles of the complex [AsO₄]^3? anions range within common intervals (d(As⁵⁺?O^2?) = 167 – 169 pm, ?(O–As–O) = 100 – 116°) for both lanthanide(III) oxoarsenates(V) presented here.

(t-Bu₂Sb)₃P₇ 2 produced similarly from t-Bu₂SbCl and Li₃P₇ · 3 DME didn't form crystals; it decomposes in a solution of toluene above ?10°C. Both compounds were identified by their ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra, and 1 also by elemental analysis and single crystal structure determination (space group) P2₁/a, a = 1 712.0(9) pm, b = 1 105.1(7) pm, c = 1 854.0(10) pm, β = 94.96(4)°, Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell). Attempts to synthesize (Me₂P)₃P₇ 3 , (F₂P)₃P₇ 4 and [(F₃C)₂P]₃P₇ 5 failed as dialkylchlorophosphanes as Me₂PCl e. g. with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME react under Li/Cl exchange, dialkylfluorophosphanes (except t-Bu₂PF) disproportionate, and neither PF₃ nor (F₃C)₂PBr with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME give the desired products 4 or 5 , resp.

[Trigonal-rhomboedral with a = 535.8(1) pm, c = 1 507.3(3) pm, c/a = 2.81/Guinier-Simon-powder data; Z = 3. Space group R3 for the part Li(1)₆TaO₆ and presumably P3 for Li₇TaO₆, including Li(2)]. The crystal structure was solved by four-cycle-diffractometer data [Mo? Kα , 331 from 331 I_o(hkl), R = 1.99%, R_w = 1.96%], parameters see text. The positions of anions correspond to the motif of a hexagonal closest packing of spheres, obviously deformed (with MEFIR of O^2? space filling corresponds to 69.8% instead of expected 73.2%. 1/3 of the octahedron holes are ordered occupied by Ta and Li(2), 1/2 of the tetrahedral holes likewise ordered by Li(1). All polyhedra of coordination of the anions are trigonal prisms. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, and Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, these calculated via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, as well as charge distribution ‘CHARDI’ are calculated and discussed.     

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamin und seine lithiierten und silylierten Derivate — Kristallstruktur des dimeren Lithium-trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amids

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine and the lithiated and silylated Derivatives — X-Ray Structure of the dimeric Lithium Trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide The ammonolysis of the chlor, brom or trifluormethanesulfonyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silane yields the colorless tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine, destillable at 51°C and 0.02 Torr. The subsequent lithiation, reaction with chlor trimethylsilane and repeated lithiation lead to the formation of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamide, trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine and finally lithium trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 386.7(2); b = 2 040.2(3); c = 1 609.6(2) pm; β = 96.95(1)° and Z = 4 dimeric molecules. The cyclic Li₂N₂ moiety with Li? N bond distances displays a short transannular Li …? Li contact of 229 pm. The dimeric molecule shows nearly C₂-symmetry, so that one lithium atom forms agostic bonds to both the trimethylsilyl groups, the other one to the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents. However, the ⁷Li{¹H}-NMR spectrum displays a high field shifted singlet at —1.71 ppm. The lithiation of trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine leads to a high field shift of the ²⁹Si{¹H} resonance of about 12 ppm for the Me₃SiN group, whereas the parameters of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl ligand remain nearly unaffected.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Silicon Sulfur Compounds. XXXVIII. Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disiloxane and Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disilthiane Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disiloxane 1 and Hexa(tri-t-butoxy)disilthiane 2 were prepared by reaction of R₃SiONa with R₃SiCl and R₃SiSNa with R₃SiCl (R = tri-t-butoxy), respectively. The mass spectra show characteristic series of fragments. A large ²⁹Si n.m.r. chemical shift of about —103.55 ppm is observed with 1 , whereas the value of 2 is —75.99 ppm. The crystal structure analysis of 1 result first in a colinear molecule (Si? ;O? ;Si = 180°) with 1 symmetry and relative short mean bond lengths of about d(Si? ;O) = 155.6 pm, but with large and strong anisotropic ellipsoids. Their quantitative rigid body analyses yield decisive corrections, namely a bent molecule with an Si? ;O? ;Si angle of 144.0° and d?_corr = 163.5 pm. Molecule 2 is also bent as expected (Si? ;S? ;Si = 110.5°, d?(Si? ;S) = 211.9 pm and after rigid body correction 108.0° and d_corr = 215.2 pm, respectively). The results of our investigations will be discussed corresponding to the energy differences of the varying configurations at the bridging atoms.

In this disordered structure the surroundings of Si is slightly distorted due to the influence of the substituents. The (average) bond lengths are (4 , 2): d(Si? P) = 220.09(9), 221.5(5); d(P? P) = 225.5(2), 224.2(5); d(P? C) = 189.4(3), 190(2); d(C? C) = 151.4(4), 152(3) pm. The geometry of the substituents in both isomers is quite normal.

The structure (964 reflexions hkl, R = 0.035) is related to the NaCl type, in which the half of the anionic positions is occupied by the gravi-centers of the polycyclic anions P. The bond lengths d(P?

The Ba atoms are surrounded by 9 and 10 non metallic atoms, respectively. Cl^? is coordinated tetrahedrally by Ba.

Si distance (221 pm) of compound 1 and the structure of the PH ₂ group in 2 are discussed in detail. Lithium obtains its preferred coordination number 4 by a chelation with one molecule of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (Li? O 202 to 204 pm).
