Weak Sn…I Interactions in the Crystal Structures of the Iodostannates [SnI₄]^2– and [SnI₃]^– Iodostannate complexes can be crystallized from SnI₂ solutions in polar organic solvents by precipitation with large counterions. Thereby isolated anions as well as one, two or three‐dimensional polymeric anionic substructures are established, in which SnI₃^– and SnI₄^2– groups are linked by weak Sn…I interactions. Examples are the iodostannates [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][SnI₄] ( 1 ), (Ph₄P)₂[Sn₂I₆] ( 2 ), [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][Sn₂I₆] ( 3 ), [Fe(dmf)₆][SnI₃]₂ ( 4 ) and (Pr₄N)[SnI₃] ( 5 ), which have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.

[ZrCl₃(NPPh₃)(HNPPh₃)₂] ( 1 ): Space group P 1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1209.4(2); b = 1480.8(2); c = 1814.2(2) pm; α = 71.203(13)°, β = 71.216(13)°, γ = 74.401(13)°; R = 0.0476. The zirconium atom of 1 is oktahedrally coordinated by the three chlorine atoms in meridional arrangement and by the three nitrogen atoms of the (NPPh₃^–) ligand and of the two phosphane imine molecules HNPPh₃. The ZrN bond distance of the (NPPh₃^–) group (193.5 pm) corresponds with a double bond.

The zirconium atom in 2 is octahedrally coordinated by the two chlorine atoms in trans position, and by the nitrogen atoms of the two (NPPh₃^–) groups as well as by the two HNPPh₃ molecules. The ZrN distance of the (NPPh₃^–) ligands (198.9 and 202.0 pm) suggest some π‐interaction between the zirconium and the nitrogen atoms.

Alkali Metal Phosphoraneiminates. New Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [RbNPPh₃]₆ and [CsNPPh₃]₄ The alkali‐metal phosphoraneiminates MNPPh₃ with M = Na, K, Rb, Cs have been synthesized by reactions of Ph₃PI₂ with the alkali‐metal amides in liquid ammonia and were obtained as pure samples by subsequent extraction with toluene. The ethyl derivative KNPEt₃ has been prepared by an analogous route from Et₃PBr₂ and extraction with hexane.

Synthese und Kristallstruktur der Molybdännitrido‐Komplexe [MoNCl3(MeCN)]4 und [MoNCl2(bipy)]4

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Nitrido Complexes [MoNCl₃(MeCN)]₄ and [MoNCl₂(bipy)]₄ [MoNCl₃(MeCN)]₄ ( 1 ) is obtained by the reaction of MoCl₄(MeCN)₂ with Me₃SiN₃ in CH₂Cl₂ as a sparingly soluble and water sensitive red compound. It crystallizes as 1 · 3 CH₂Cl₂ in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 889.7(1), b = 1004.8(1), c = 1270.4(2) pm; α = 71.69(1)°; β = 73.63(1)°; γ = 86.32(1)°, and Z = 1. It forms centrosymmetric tetranuclear complexes, in which the Mo atoms are connected by asymmetric and linear nitrido bridges with distances Mo–N of 167.5 and 214.3 pm. The acetonitrile molecules are coordinated with a long bond length Mo–N of 241 pm in trans position to the Mo–N triple bond. The reaction of 1 with 2,2′‐bipyridine in CH₂Cl₂/THF yields the tetranuclear molybdenum(V) complex [MoNCl₂(bipy)]₄ ( 2 ) as main product. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4₂/n with a = 1637.5(2), c = 1018.3(2) pm, and Z = 2. In the tetranuclear complexes with the symmetry S₄ linear and asymmetric nitrido bridges connect the Mo atoms to form an almost planar eight membered Mo–N ring with distances Mo–N of 173 and 203 pm. The bipyridine molecules coordinate as chelates in cis and trans position to the Mo–N triple bond. In this case the trans influence causes different Mo–N distances of 219 and 232 pm.
