Reaktionen von Zink- und Cadmiumhalogeniden mit Tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphan und Tris(trimethylsilyl)arsan

Reactions of Zinc and Cadmium Halides with Tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane and Tris(trimethylsilyl)arsane ZnCl₂ reacts with E(SiMe₃)₃ (E = P, As) in toluene in the presence of PⁿPr₃ to give the binuclear complexes [Zn₂Cl₂{E(SiMe₃)₂}₂(PⁿPr₃)₂] · C₇H₈ (E = P 1 , As 2 ). Therefore by the use of PⁱPr₃ clusters consisting of ten metal atoms are obtained, [Zn₁₀Cl₁₂(ESiMe₃)₄(PⁱPr₃)₄] (E = P 3 , As 4 ). As a result of the reaction of CdBr₂ with P(SiMe₃)₃ the compound [CdBr₂{P(SiMe₃)₃}]₂ ( 5 ) can be isolated at –40 °C. In the presence of PⁿPr₃ CdBr₂ reacts with P(SiMe₃)₃ forming the binuclear complex [Cd₂Br₂{P(SiMe₃)₂}₂(PⁿPr₃)₂] · thf ( 6 ). The same reaction with PⁱPr₃ yields to the cluster [Cd₁₀Br₁₂(PSiMe₃)₄{P(SiMe₃)₃}₄] · 2 C₇H₈ ( 7 ). ZnI₂ and CdI₂ react with As(SiMe₃)₃ to yield the complexes [MI₂{As(SiMe₃)₃}]₂ (M = Zn 8 , Cd 9 ). In the case of CdI₂ additionally the cluster [Cd₁₀I₁₂(AsSiMe₃)₄ · {As(SiMe₃)₃}₄] · 4,5 C₇H₈ ( 10 ) is formed which is analogous to the compounds 3 , 4 and 7 . In the presence of [PⁿBu₄]I 8  reacts in THF to give the ionic compound [PⁿBu₄]₂[Zn₆I₆(AsSiMe₃)₄(thf)₂] · C₆H₆ ( 11 ).     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Metal Complexes of 2‐Formylpyrrole‐4N‐ethylthiosemicarbazone (4 EL1) and 2‐Acetylpyrrole‐4N‐ethylthiosemicarbazone (4 EL2)

The reactions of ⁴N‐ethyl‐2‐[1‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)methylidene(hydrazine carbothioamide ( 4 EL₁ ) and ⁴N‐ethyl‐2[1‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene(hydrazine carbothioamide ( 4 EL₂ ) with Group 12 metal halides afforded complexes of types [M(L)₂X₂] (M = Zn, Cd; L = 4 EL₁, 4 EL₂; X = Cl, Br, I; 1 – 6 , 14 – 19 ) and [M(L)X₂] (M = Hg; L = 4 EL₁, 4 EL₂; X = Cl, Br, I; 7 – 9 , 20 – 22 ). In addition, reaction of 4 EL₁ with salts of Cu^II, Ni^II, Pd^II and Pt^II afforded compounds of type [M(4 EL₁–H)₂] ( 10 – 13 ). The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FAB mass spectrometry, IR and electronic spectroscopy and, for sufficiently soluble compounds, ¹H, ¹³C and, when appropriate, ¹¹³Cd or ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectrometry. The spectral data suggest that in their complexes with Group 12 metal cations, both thiosemicarbazones are neutral and S‐monodentate; and for [Zn(4 EL₁)₂I₂] ( 3 ), [Cd(4 EL₁)₂Br₂] ( 5 ) and [Hg(4 EL₁)Cl₂]₂ ( 7 ) this was confirmed by X‐ray diffractometry. By contrast, in its complexes with Cu^II and Group 10 metal cations, 4 EL₁ is monodeprotonated and S,N‐bidentate, as was confirmed by X‐ray diffractometry for [Ni(4 EL₁–H)₂] ( 11 ) and [Pd(4 EL₁–H)₂] ( 12 ).

Alkalimetalltetraethinylozincate und ‐cadmate AI2M(C2H)4 (AI = Na — Cs,M = Zn,Cd): Synthese,Kristallstruktur und spektroskopische Eigenschaften

Alkali Metal Tetraethinylozincates and ‐cadmates A^I₂M(C₂H)₄ (A^I = Na — Cs, M = Zn, Cd): Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Spectroscopic Properties By reaction of A^IC₂H (A^I = Na — Cs) with divalent zinc and cadmium salts in liquid ammonia the alkali metal tetraethinylozincates and ‐cadmates A^I₂M(C₂H)₄ (M = Zn, Cd) were accessible as polycrystalline powders. While Na₂M(C₂H)₄ is amorphous to X‐rays and the crystal structure of Cs₂Zn(C₂H)₄ could not be solved up to now, the remaining compounds are isotypic to the already known crystal structures of the potassium compounds, as was deduced from powder diffraction with X‐rays and synchrotron radiation. They crystallise in the tetragonal space group I4₁a, contain [M(C₂H)₄]^2— tetrahedra and show structural relationships to the scheelit and anatas structure types. Raman spectroscopic investigations confirm the existence of tetrahedral fragments with C‐C triple bonds in the alkali as well as in the amorphous alkaline earth metal compounds A^IIM(C₂H)₄ (A^II = Mg — Ba, M = Zn, Cd).     

13C-NMR-Untersuchungen zur Strukturaufklärung von Polysacchariden und deren Methylderivaten

The ¹³C NMR spectra of some polysaccharides and their methyl derivatives have been analysed. The numbers and positions of the assigned ¹³C NMR signals give some information about the structure of the monomer unit and the positions of the glycosidic linkage but no information about the anomeric configuration. In this case the ¹J(C-1, H) coupling constants make it possible to identify the anomeric configuration, because the mean differences of the J values for the α- and β-anomers are 12 Hz (at least 5 Hz) with the higher values for the α-anomers.     

Two Coordination Polymers based on 2‐Ethyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylic Acid and 1,3‐Bis(4‐pyridyl)propane: Synthesis,Crystal Structures,and Photoluminescent Properties

Two coordination polymers, [Cd(Heidc)(bpp)]_n ( 1 ) and [Zn₃ (eidc)₂(bpp)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O}_n ( 2 ) (H₃eidc = 2‐ethyl‐4,5‐imidazole dicarboxylic acid, bpp = 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, spectroscopy single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compound 1 features a 2D layer formed by C–H ··· π stacking interactions between adjacent chains, whereas compound 2 shows a 3D (8³)₂(8⁵.10)‐tfc framework constructed of the 2D (6,3) layer. The result demonstrates that the central metal atoms play a key role in governing the coordination motifs. Moreover, solid‐state properties such as thermal stabilities and photoluminescence of 1 and 2 were also investigated.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Mangan(II)‐ und Zinkamid,Mn(NH2)2 und Zn(NH2)2

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Manganese(II) and Zinc Amides, Mn(NH₂)₂ and Zn(NH₂)₂ Metal powders of manganese resp. zinc react with supercritical ammonia in autoclaves in the presence of a mineralizer Na₂Mn(NH₂)₄ resp. Na₂Zn(NH₂)₄_.0.5NH₃ to well crystallized ruby‐red Mn(NH₂)₂ (p(NH₃) = 100 bar, T = 130°C, 10 d) resp. colourless Zn(NH₂)₂ (p(NH₃) = 3.8 kbar, T = 250°C, 60 d). The structures including all H‐positions were solved by x‐ray single crystal data: Mn(NH₂)₂: I4₁/acd, Z = 32, a = 10.185(6) Å, c = 20.349(7) Å, N(F_o) with F > 3σ (F) = 313, N(parameter) = 45, R/R_w = 0.038/0.043. Zn(NH₂)₂: I4₁/acd, Z = 32, a = 9.973(3) Å, c = 19.644(5) Å, N(F_o) with F > 3σ (F) = 489, N(parameter) = 45, R/R_w = 0.038/0.043. Both compounds crystallize isotypic with Mg(NH₂)₂ [1] resp. Be(NH₂)₂ [2]. Nitrogen of the amide ions is distorted cubic close packed. One quarter of tetrahedral voids is occupied by Mn²⁺‐ resp. Zn²⁺‐ions in such an ordered way that units M₄(NH₂)₆(NH₂)_4/2 occur. The H‐atoms of the anions have such an orientation that the distance to neighboured cations is optimum.
