Infrared and Raman spectroscopic investigations of methylammonium haloantimonates(III), [N(CH3)4−nHn]3 Sb2X9 (n = 0–3, X = Cl or Br), through their phase transitions

Infrared and Raman spectra of methylammonium chloroantimonates(III) of the general formula [N(CH₃)_4−nH_n]₃Sb₂Cl₉ with n = 0, 1, 2 and 3 and of the methylammonium bromoantimonate(III), (CH₃NH₃)₃Sb₂Br₉, have been investigated in detail across their phase transitions. Vibration modes due to CH₃ deformation and those involving the NH_n (n = 1, 2 and 3) groups show significant changes across the phase transitions of the chloroantimonates, besides those due to the Sb₂Cl₉ anion. The anion modes differ with the number of CH₃ groups since the nature of the anion itself changes, the free anion being present only in the quarternary compound. The high-temperature phases of the chloroantimonates seem to involve random orientations of the methylamino groups; a plastic-type state clearly manifests itself in the trimethyl and the tetramethylamino derivatives. A phase transition is predicted in all the chloroantimonates below 150 K, based on the changes in the anion bands at low temperatures. Changes in the IR and Raman spectra accompanying the phase transitions of (CH₃NH₃)₃Sb₂Br₉ and (CH₃NH₃)₃Bi₂Br₉ are similar and in the high-temperature phase of these compounds the (CH₃NH₃)⁺ cations ard oriented randomly.     

Vibrational properties of PbCO3 · PbX2 (X = Cl,Br)

The i.r. and Raman spectra of PbX₂ · PbCO₃ (X = Cl, Br) have been recorded. The symmetry of the Raman peaks have been assigned on the basis of the data collected on a natural single crystal of phosgenite (X = Cl). The factor group and site group analysis has been discussed in relation to the experimental data.     

Synthesis and thermal behavior study of complexes of the type [Pd(μ-X)(4-eb-p-phen)]2 (X = Cl,Br, I,N3, NCO,SCN) and 4-eb-p-phen [bis(4-ethylbenzyl)p-phenylenediimine]

The Schiff base bis(4-ethylbenzyl) p-phenylenediimine, 4-eb-p-phen (1), and six new dimeric Pd(II) complexes of the type [Pd(μ-X)(4-eb-p-phen)]₂ {X = Cl (2), Br (3), I (4), N₃ (5), NCO (6), SCN (7)} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and ¹H and ¹³C{¹H}-NMR experiments. The thermal behavior of the complexes 2–7 has been investigated by means of thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. From the final decomposition temperatures, the thermal stability of the complexes can be ordered in the following sequence: 3 > 4 > 7 > 2 ≈ 5 > 6. The final products of the thermal decompositions were characterized as metallic palladium by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD).     

Conductivity and Redox Potentials of Ionic Liquid Trihalogen Monoanions [X3]−, [XY2]−, and [BrF4]− (X=Cl,Br, I and Y=Cl,Br)

The ionic liquid (IL) trihalogen monoanions [N₂₂₂₁][X₃]⁻ and [N₂₂₂₁][XY₂]⁻ ([N₂₂₂₁]⁺=triethylmethylammonium, X=Cl, Br, I, Y=Cl, Br) were investigated electrochemically via temperature dependent conductance and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The polyhalogen monoanions were measured both as neat salts and as double salts in 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium trifluoromethane-sulfonate ([BMP][OTf], [X₃]⁻/[XY₂]⁻ 0.5 M). Lighter IL trihalogen monoanions displayed higher conductivities than their heavier homologues, with [Cl₃]⁻ being 1.1 and 3.7 times greater than [Br₃]⁻ and [I₃]⁻, respectively. The addition of [BMP][OTf] reduced the conductivity significantly. Within the group of polyhalogen monoanions, the oxidation potential develops in the series [Cl₃]⁻>[BrCl₂]⁻>[Br₃]⁻>[IBr₂]⁻>[ICl₂]⁻>[I₃]⁻. The redox potential of the interhalogen monoanions was found to be primarily determined by the central halogen, I in [ICl₂]⁻ and [IBr₂]⁻_, and Br in [BrCl₂]⁻. Additionally, tetrafluorobromate(III) ([N₂₂₂₁]⁺[BrF₄]⁻) was analyzed via CV in MeCN at 0 °C, yielding a single reversible redox process ([BrF₂]⁻/[BrF₄]⁻).     

Chlorine reaction with platinum triamine [Pt(N,N-DimeTm)PyCl3]Cl (N,N-DimeTm = (CH3)2N(CH2)3NH2). Crystal structure of [Pt(N,N-DimeTm)Cl2], [Pt(N,N-DimeTm(Py)Cl3]Cl · H2O and [Pt{(CH3)2N(CH2)2C(O)NH}(Py)Cl3]

Treatment of platinum(II) diamine [Pt(N,N-DimeTm)Cl₂] (I) with pyridine gave tetramine [Pt(N,N-DimeTm)Py₂]Cl₂ (II); by oxidation with chlorine this was converted to Pt(IV) triamine, [Pt“(N,N-DimeTm(Py)Cl₃]Cl (III) with a six-membered chelate ring. According to X-ray diffraction data, the reaction of complex II with chlorine is accompanied by removal of the pyridine molecule from the trans-position to the NH₂ group of N,N-dimethyltrimethylenediamine. The reaction of complex III with chlorine at 20°C afforded a mixture of compounds (IV) and the complex [Pt“(CH₃)₂N(CH₂)₂C(O)NH”(Py)Cl₃] (V) with an amidate six-membered metal ring, dimethylpropioamide, which was also isolated upon refluxing a mixture of IV in an aqueous solution. The UV/Vis and IR spectra of the obtained complexes were studied, and X-ray diffraction analysis of I, III, and V was performed. The crystals of I are triclinic, space group P $ \bar 1 $ ; a = 7.6526(4) Å, b = 11.5571(6) Å, c = 12.4432(7) Å, α = 113.85(1)°, β = 96.54(2)°, γ = 106.78(2)°; Z = 4; R _hkl = 0.051. The crystals of III are monoclinic, space group C2/c; a = 36.715(2) Å, b = 7.8179(4) Å, c = 29.721(16) Å, β = 127.80(1)°; Z = 16; R _hkl = 0.036. The crystals of V are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n; a = 7.0398(6) Å, b = 27.458(2) Å, c = 7.687(6) Å, β = 106.270(1)°; Z = 4; R _hkl = 0.052.     

Pressure-induced formation of molecular B2X4(μ-X)2 (X = Cl, Br, I) species

Boron(III) halides (BX(3), where X = F, Cl, Br, I) at ambient pressure conditions exist as strictly monomeric, trigonal-planar molecules. Using correlated ab initio calculations, the three heavier halides (X = Cl, Br, I) are shown to possess B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2) local minima, isostructural with the diborane molecule. The calculated dissociation barrier of the B(2)I(4)(μ-I)(2) species [≈14 kJ/mol with CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ] may be high enough to allow cryogenic isolation. The remaining dimer structures are more labile, with dissociation barriers of less than 6 kJ/mol. All three dimer species may be stabilized by application of external pressure. Periodic density functional theory calculations predict a new dimer-based P1 solid, which becomes more stable than the P6(3)/m monomer-derived solids at 5 (X = I) to 15 (X = Cl) GPa. Metadynamics simulations suggest that B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2)-based solids are the kinetically preferred product of pressurization of the P6(3)/m solid.     

N(4S)+CH3X(X=Cl、Br)反应机理的理论研究

The reaction of N(4S)+CH3X(X=Cl、Br) was studied by the ab initio method. The geometries of the reactants, transition states and products were optimized at the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level. The corresponding vibration frequencies were calculated at the same level. The single-point calculations for all the stationary points were carried out at the MP2/6-311++G(3df,2p) and the QCISD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) levels using the MP2/6-311+G(d,p) optimized geometries. The energies of all the stationary points were calculated by the G2MP2 method. The results of this theoretical study indicate that the reaction has three reaction channels: H abstraction reaction channel a, Cl or Br abstraction reaction channel b and substitution reaction channel c. For the N(4S)+CH3Cl reaction, reaction channel a is the main reaction channel. Reaction channels b and c may have a slight contribution in the reaction. For the N(4S)+CH3Br reaction, reaction channel a is the main reaction channel. Reaction channels b and c may have some contribution in the reaction.     

Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Structures of X−⋅⋅⋅CH2O (X=F,Cl, Br,I) Complexes

A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to investigate X⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O (X=F, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the gas phase. Photoelectron spectroscopy, in tandem with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been used to determine electron binding energies for the Cl⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, Br⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, and I⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O species. Additionally, high-level CCSD(T) calculations found a C_2v minimum for these three anion complexes, with predicted electron detachment energies in excellent agreement with the experimental photoelectron spectra. F⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O was also studied theoretically, with a C_s hydrogen-bonded complex found to be the global minimum. Calculations extended to neutral X⋅⋅⋅CH₂O complexes, with the results of potential interest to atmospheric CH₂O chemistry.     

Heats of reaction of HMo(CO)3C5H5 with CCl4 and CBr4 and of NaMo(CO)3C5H5 with I2 and CH3. Solution thermochemical study of the MoX bond for X = H,Cl, Br,I and CH3

The heats of reaction of HMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ with CX₄ (X = Cl, Br) producing XMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ have been measured by solution calorimetry and are −31.8±0.9 and −34.4±2.0 kcal/mole, respectively. The heats of reaction of NaMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ with I₂ and CH₃I producing IMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ and H₃CMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ are −32.3± 1.3 and −7.7± 0.3 kcal/mole. Oxidation with Br₂CCl₄ yielding Br₃Mo(CO)₂C₅H₅ was measured for the following complexes: (C₅H₅(CO)₃Mo)₂, (−92.0±1.0 kcal/mole), BrMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ (−24.9± 2.0 kcal/mole) and HMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ (−60.7± 2.0 kcal/mole). These and other data are used to calculate the Mo–X bond strength for X = H, Cl, Br, I, and CH₃. These bond strength estimates are compared to those reported for X₂Mo(C₅H₅)₂. Iodination of H₃CMo(CO)₃C₅H₅, reported in the literature to yield CH₃I and IMo(CO)₃C₅H₅, actually produces CH₃C(O)I and I₃Mo(CO)₂C₅H₅.     

Vibrational study of diphenylphosphorus halides Ph2PX (X  Cl,Br, I)

The Raman and i.r. spectra of diphenylphosphorus halides, Ph₂PX (X  Cl, Br, I), have been measured and concerted assignments have been made confirmed by an approximate normal coordinate analysis for the skeletal vibrations of Ph₂PCl using a three mass model for the phenyl group.     

Preparation and structural characterization of the isomorphous compounds: [Bu4N][Mo3(μ3-O)(μ-X)3(μ-OAc)3 X 3]·(CH3)2CO,X=Cl,Br

The reaction of MoCl₃(H₂O)₃ with a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of [N(C₄H₉)₄][BF₄] followed by crystallization from acetone/hexane gives a 77% yield of dark purple [NBu₄][Mo₃OCl₆(OAc)₃]·Me₂CO (1). A similar reaction employing MoBr₃(H₂O)₃ gives purple [NBu₄][Mo₃OBr₆(OAc)₃]·Me₂CO (2) in 50% yield. Also produced in this reaction in low (10–20%) yields are [NBu₄]₂[Mo₄OBr₁₂] · 0.5Me₂CO and [NBu₄]₂[Mo₃OBr₆(OAc)₃] · Me₂CO which will be discussed elsewhere Compounds (1) and (2) are isomorphous, space groupP2₁/n,Z=4 with the following unit cell dimensions, where the values for (1) and (2) are given in that order for each one:a=13.406(4), 13.726(5) Å;b=15.701(4), 15.839(5) Å;c=19.250(5), 19.831(6) Å; =101.61(2), 102.92(3)°. Both (1) and (2) are eight-electron species in which the mean Mo-Mo distances are 2.578(1) Å and 2.597(1) Å, respectively.     

Communication: probing the entrance channels of the X+CH4→HX+CH3 (X = F, Cl, Br, I) reactions via photodetachment of X(-)-CH4

The entrance channel potentials of the prototypical polyatomic reaction family X + CH(4) → HX + CH(3) (X = F, Cl, Br, I) are investigated using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and high-level ab initio electronic structure computations. The pre-reactive van der Waals (vdW) wells of these reactions are probed for X = Cl, Br, I by photodetachment spectra of the corresponding X(-)-CH(4) anion complex. For F-CH(4), a spin-orbit splitting (～1310 cm(-1)) much larger than that of the F atom (404 cm(-1)) was observed, in good agreement with theory. This showed that in the case of the F-CH(4) system the vertical transition from the anion ground state to the neutral potentials accesses a region between the vdW valley and transition state of the early-barrier F + CH(4) reaction. The doublet splittings observed in the other halogen complexes are close to the isolated atomic spin-orbit splittings, also in agreement with theory.     

Solids containing methylhalophosphonium cations [(CH3)n PX+4−n] (n = 1–3 XCl,Br): an investigation using magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy

A selection of complexes containing [(CH₃)nPX⁺_4−n] cations (XCl, Br) have been investigated by magic-angle spinning (MAS) ³¹P and ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy. Qualitative information about ionic motion in these systems is derived from the observed linewidths, which are dependent upon the nature of the anions present in the lattices. Isomers of [(CH₃)PCl⁺₃Cl⁻] and [(CH₃)₂PCl⁺₂Cl⁻] are detected, confirming previous Raman spectroscopic observations. The mixed-halogen cations [(CH₃)PCl₂Br⁺], [(CH₃)PClBr⁺₂] and [(CH₃)₂PClBr⁺] are also observed, complexed with both single-halide and polyatomic anions. Differences in NMR linewidths are again noted. These results are compared with Raman studies on the same complexes and contrasted with a similar investigation of the [PCl_nBr⁺_4−n] (O⩽n⩽4) system.     

Vibrational spectra of bis(halomercurio)methanes CH2(HgX)2 (X  Cl,Br and I) in poly- and monocrystalline states

Vibrational spectra of polycrystalline bis(chloromercurio)methane CH₂(HgCl)₂ (space group Pnma, Z = 4), and of the deuterated analogue, as representatives of the bis(halomercurio)methanes, are preliminarily assigned. Low-temperature Raman and IR spectra of CH₂(HgCl)₂ reveal correlation splittings between g and u species, and partly within the sets of g and u modes, as predicted by unit-cell group analysis. Single-crystal Raman studies not only confirm the suggested assignments but are also the only method to unequivocally assign some bands. The limitations of the applicability of unit-cell group analysis in the present case are discussed.     

Synthesis and structure of [Re3S3.7Br4.3(PPh3)3]·0.5CH2Cl2

One of the products of the reaction between Re₃S₇Br₇ and PPh₃ has been isolated in crystalline state and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), mass-spectrometry, and EPR spectroscopy. The crystalline phase obtained is a co-crystallization product of two cluster complexes: [Re₃(μ₃-S)₂(μ-S)₂(μ-Br)Br₃(PPh₃)₃] (1a) an [Re₃(μ₃-S)₂(μ-S)(μ-Br)₂Br₃(PPh₃)₃] (1b). The ratio 1a:1b in the investigated single crystal sample is ～7:3.     

The oxidative addition of 1-haloalkanes to monomeric trans-[Rh(X(CO)(PR3)2] (X  Cl,Br; R  aryl) and dimeric trans-[Rh(μ-X)(CO)(PPh3)]2 (XCl,I)

The oxidative addition of 1-bromopropane to trans-[RhBr(CO){P(p-EtC₆H₄)₃}₂] has been found to follow pseudo first-order kinetics and give only an acylrhodium(III) product. The reaction is not catalysed by added bromide ion in chloroform solution, indicating that an anionic intermediate such as [RhBr₂(CO){P(p-EtC₆H₄)₃}]⁻ does not play an important part in this reaction. The oxidative addition of iodomethane to trans-[Rh(μ-X)(CO)(PPh₃)]₂ (X  Cl and I) is pseudo first-order, the reactivity increasing on replacing chloride by iodide.
