Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

Influence of the Organic Species and Oxoanion in the Synthesis of two Uranyl Sulfate Hydrates, (H3O)2[(UO2)2(SO4)3­(H2O)]·7H2O and (H3O)2[(UO2)2(SO4)3(H2O)]·4H2O,and a Uranyl Selenate‐Selenite [C5H6N][(UO2)(SeO4)(HSeO3)]

Two uranyl sulfate hydrates, (H₃O)₂[(UO₂)₂(SO₄)₃(H₂O)] · 7H₂O (NDUS) and (H₃O)₂[(UO₂)₂(SO₄)₃(H₂O)] · 4H₂O (NDUS1), and one uranyl selenate‐selenite [C₅H₆N][(UO₂)(SeO₄)(HSeO₃)] (NDUSe), were obtained and their crystal structures solved. NDUS and NDUSe result from reactions in highly acidic media in the presence of L ‐cystine at 373 K. NDUS crystallized in a closed vial at 278 K after 5 days and NDUSe in an open beaker at 278 K after 2 weeks. NDUS1 was synthesized from aqueous solution at room temperature over the course of a month. NDUS, NDUS1, and NDUSe crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 15.0249(4) Å,b = 9.9320(2) Å, c = 15.6518(4) Å, β = 112.778(1)°, V = 2153.52(9) ų,Z = 4, the tetragonal space group P4₃2₁2, a = 10.6111(2) Å,c = 31.644(1) Å, V = 3563.0(2) ų, Z = 8, and in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 8.993(3) Å, b = 13.399(5) Å, c = 10.640(4) Å,β = 108.230(4)°, V = 1217.7(8) ų, Z = 4, respectively.The structural units of NDUS and NDUS1 are two‐dimensional uranyl sulfate sheets with a U/S ratio of 2/3. The structural unit of NDUSe is a two‐dimensional uranyl selenate‐selenite sheets with a U/Se ratio of 1/2. In‐situ reaction of the L ‐cystine ligands gives two distinct products for the different acids used here. Where sulfuric acid is used, only H₃O⁺ cations are located in the interlayer space, where they balance the charge of the sheets, whereas where selenic acid is used, interlayer C₅H₆N⁺ cations result from the cyclization of the carboxyl groups of L ‐cystine, balancing the charge of the sheets.

[(C6H10)(NH3)2][Ni(H2O)4C6H2(COO)4]·4H2O – A Coordination Polymer with the Chain‐like Polyanion {Ni(H2O)4[C6H2(COO)4]2−}n

Triclinic single crystals of [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂][Ni(H₂O)₄C₆H₂(COO)₄]·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C. Space group (Nr. 2), a = 691.23(6), b = 924.84(5), c = 1082.43(7) pm, α = 74.208(6)°, β = 75.558(7)°, γ = 68.251(6)°, V = 0.60985(7) nm³, Z = 1. The Nickel(II) species, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is coordinated in a trans‐octahedral fashion by two oxygen atoms stemming from the centrosymmetric pyromellitate anions and four from water molecules (Ni–O 205.82(12) – 208.11(13) pm). The connection between Ni²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄)]^4? leads to infinite chain‐like polyanions extending parallel to with {Ni(H₂O)₄[C₆H₂(COO)₄]^2?}_n composition. [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂]²⁺‐cations are accomodated between the chains, compensating for the negative charge of the polyanions. Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 102 and 206 °C, corresponding to the loss of 6 and 2 water molecules per formula unit, respectively. The dehydrated sample was stable between 206 and 353 °C. Further decomposition yielded nickel(II) oxide (NiO).

Synthesis and Characterization of the New Copper Tetraphosphonate Cu2[(HO3PCH2)4C6H2]·2H2O

Following the strategy of using polyfunctional phosphonic acids for the synthesis of three‐dimensional metal phosphonates, the ethyl ester of a tetraphosphonic acid, i. e. 1,2,4,5‐(Et₂O₃PCH₂)₄C₆H₂, was used in the hydrothermal synthesis of the new copper tetraphosphonate, Cu₂[(HO₃PCH₂)₄C₆H₂]·2H₂O ( 1 ). The in situ hydrolysis of the ethyl ester leads to the acid (1,2,4,5‐(H₂O₃PCH₂)₄C₆H₂) which reacts with the Cu²⁺ ions to form the green coarse‐crystalline product. The title compound is the first fully characterized copper tetraphosphonate. Its structure was solved from single crystal data ( 1 : triclinic, , a = 4.9262(10), b = 8.1890(16), c = 11.800(2) Å, α = 71.17(3), β = 89.15(3), γ = 88.56(3)°, V = 450.39(16) ų, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0284, wR₂ = 0.0682). The structure is built up from edge‐sharing CuO₅ polyhedra each containing a single H₂O molecule. Thus, dimeric [Cu₂O₈] units are formed. In the second coordination sphere of each of the Cu²⁺ ions four HO₃PCH₂R units are observed. The [Cu₂O₈] polyhedra are connected to eight other [Cu₂O₈] polyhedra by these organic linkers and a three‐dimensional framework structure is formed. Thermogravimetric, magnetic, and temperature dependent powder XRD measurements and the Raman‐spectrum are also presented.

The connection of Cu²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄)]^4? yields infinite strands, which are linked by pyrazine molecules to form a two‐dimensional coordination polymer. Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the dehydrated compound was stable between 175 and 248 °C. Further heating yielded CuO.     

2‐Imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazole as a π‐Ligand: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [(CuCl)C10H10SN2], [C10H11SN2+]2[Cu2Cl4]2−, and [C10H11SN2+]2[Cu2Br4]2− π‐Compounds

The reaction of 2‐amino‐benzothiazole with allyl bromide resulted in a mixture of 2‐imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazole and 2‐imino‐3‐allyl‐benzothiazolium bromide.Using such a mixture and copper(II) chloride in acetonitrile solution in alternating‐current electrochemical synthesis crystals of the [(CuCl)C₁₀H₁₀SN₂] ( I ) have been obtained. The same procedure, performed in ethanol solution, has led to formation of [C₁₀H₁₁SN₂⁺]₂[Cu₂Cl₄]^2? ( II ). In the same manner the bromine derivative [C₁₀H₁₁SN₂⁺]₂[Cu₂Br₄]^2? ( III ) has been synthesized. All three compounds were X‐ray structurally investigated. I :monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 13.789(6), b = 6.297(3), c = 13.830(6) Å, β = 112.975(4)°, V = 1105.6 (9) ų, Z = 4 for CuCl·C₁₀H₁₀ SN₂ composition. Compounds II and III are isomorphous and crystallize in triclinic space group. II a = 7.377(3), b = 8.506(3), c = 9.998(4) Å, α = 79.892(10)°, β = 82.704(13)°, γ = 78.206(12)°, V = 601.9(4) ų, Z = 1. III a = 7.329(2), b = 8.766(3), c = 10.265(3) Å, α = 79.253(9)°, β = 82.625(9)°, γ = 77.963(9)°, V = 630.9(3) ų, Z = 1. In the structure I [(CuCl)C₁₀H₁₀SN₂] building blocks are bound into infinitive spiral‐like chains via strong N‐H..Cl hydrogen bonds. In the zwitter‐ionic II and III compounds copper and halide atoms form centrosymmetric [Cu₂X₄]^2? anions, which are interconnected via N‐H..X hydrogen bonds into infinite butterfly‐like chains. The strongest Cu‐(C=C) π‐interaction has been observed in structure I , where copper possesses coordination number 3. Increasing copper coordination number to 4 in II as well as replacing chlorine atoms by bromine ones in III suppresses markedly this interaction.     

Reaction of the Pincer‐type Ligand {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)2]2‐4‐tert‐Bu‐C6H2}— with [Ph3C]+[PF6]—. Unprecedented Rearrangement and Carbon‐Carbon Bond Formation

The reaction of the organolithium derivative {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐4‐tert‐Bu‐C₆H₂}Li ( 1 ‐Li) with [Ph₃C]⁺[PF₆]^— gave the substituted biphenyl derivative 4‐[(C₆H₅)₂CH]‐4′‐[tert‐Bu]‐2′, 6′‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐1, 1′‐biphenyl ( 5 ) which was characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X‐ray analysis. Ab initio MO‐calculations reveal the intramolecular O···C distances in 5 of 2.952(4) and 2.988(5)Å being shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of oxygen and carbon to be the result of crystal packing effects. Also reported are the synthesis and structure of the bromine‐substituted derivative {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐4‐tert‐Bu]C₆H₂}Br ( 9 ) and the structure of the protonated ligand 5‐tert‐Bu‐1, 3‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂C₆H₃ ( 1 ‐H).

Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 reflections. Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of CF₃C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH₃)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ ( 1 ) and 4‐NO₂‐C₆H₄N(H)P(O)[4‐CH₃‐NC₅H₉]₂ ( 6 ) were confirmed by X‐ray single crystal determination. Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.     

The Influence of Substituents at C2 Carbon Atom of Thiosemicarbazones {R(H)C2=N3‐N2(H)‐C1(=S)‐N1H2} on their Dentacy in PtII/PdII Complexes: Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Crystal Structures

The coordination chemistry of platinum(II) with a series of thiosemicarbazones {R(H)C²=N³‐N²(H)‐C¹(=S)‐N¹H₂, R = 2‐hydroxyphenyl, H₂stsc; pyrrole, H₂ptsc; phenyl, Hbtsc} is described. Reactions of trans‐PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂ precursor with H₂stsc (or H₂ptsc) in 1 : 1 molar ratio in the presence of Et₃N base yielded complexes, [Pt(η³‐ O, N³, S‐stsc)(PPh₃)] ( 1 ) and [Pt(η³‐ N⁴, N³, S‐ptsc)(PPh₃)] ( 2 ), respectively. Further, trans‐PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and Hbtsc in 1 : 2 (M : L) molar ratio yielded a different compound, [Pt(η²‐ N³, S‐btsc)(η¹‐S‐btsc)(PPh₃)] ( 3 ). Complex 1 involved deprotonation of hydrazinic (‐N²H‐) and hydroxyl (‐OH) groups, and stsc^2? is coordinating via O, N³, S donor atoms, while complex 2 involved deprotonation of hydrazinic (‐N²H‐) and ‐N⁴H groups and ptsc^2? is probably coordinating via N⁴, N³, S donor atoms. Reaction of PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ with Hbtsc‐Me {C₆H₅(CH₃)C²=N³‐N²(H)‐C¹(=S)‐N¹H₂} yielded a cyclometallated complex [Pd(η³‐C, N³, S‐btsc‐Me)(PPh₃)] ( 4 ). These complexes have been characterized with the help of analytical data, spectroscopic techniques {IR, NMR (¹H, ³¹P), U.V} and single crystal X‐ray crystallography ( 1 , 3 and 4 ). The effects of substituents at C² carbon of thiosemicarbazones on their dentacy and cyclometallation are emphasized.

Reactions of one or two equiv. of cyclohexyl isocyanide in THF at room temperature with Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) gave the isocyanide coordinated Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes with functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands, [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂(μ‐η²‐CNC₆H₁₁) ( 1a , R=COCH₃; 1b , R=CO₂CH₃) and [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)(CNC₆H₁₁)]₂ ( 2a , R=COCH₃; 2b , R=CO₂CH₃), respectively. Complexes 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b could be more conveniently prepared by thermal decarbonylation of Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in toluene at reflux, followed by treatment of the resulting Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in situ with cyclohexyl isocyanide. While 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy, 1b was further characterized by X‐ray crystallography.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Reaction of (η5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2I with Anionic Bidentate Phosphine Ligands PPh2(o‐C6H4NHLi) or PPh2(o‐C6H4OLi)

The o‐substituted hybrid phenylphosphines, PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NH₂) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OH), could be deprotonated with LDA or n‐BuLi to yield PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NHLi) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OLi), respectively. When added to a solution of (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I at room temperature, these two lithiated reagents produce a chelated neutral complex 1 (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)[C(O)NH(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐C,P‐η²] for the former and mainly a zwitterionic complex 2 , (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe⁺(CO)₂[PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄O^?)] for the latter. Complex 1 could easily be protonated and then decarbonylated to give 4 [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO){NH₂(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐N,P‐η²}⁺]. Complexes 1 and 4‐I have been crystallographically characterized with X‐ray diffraction.     

Adipato‐Bridged Mixed Ligand catena Complexes: ${_{\infty}^1}${[M(phen)(H2O)]L2/2} with M = NiII,CuII, ZnII; H2L = Adipic Acid

Three adipato bridged mixed ligand catena complexes {[M(phen)(H₂O)]‐(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2} with M = Ni^II ( 1 ), Cu^II ( 2 ), Zn^II ( 3 ) were synthesized. Structure determination based on X‐ray diffraction shows that they crystallize isostructurally in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with cell dimensions of: 1 a = 22.451(4)Å, b = 9.041(1)Å, c = 17.440(2)Å, β = 103.41(1)°, U = 3443.4(9)ų, Z = 8; 2 a = 22.479(2)Å, b = 9.067(1)Å, c = 17.494(3)Å, β = 103.67(1)°, U = 3464.6(8)ų, Z = 8; 3 a = 22.635(3)Å, b = 9.052(1)Å, c = 17.571(3)Å, β = 103.24(1)°, U = 3504.5(9)ų, Z = 8. The crystal structure consists of 1D {[M(phen)(H₂O)]‐(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2} zigzag chains, in which the metal atoms are all octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligands and four O atoms of one H₂O molecule and two adipato ligands. The zigzag chains are held together by interchain π‐π stacking interactions and interchain hydrogen bonds.
