Ein fünffach koordinierter ionischer zirkonium(IV)-komplex mit der (π-C5H5)2ZrIV-Baueinheit: [(π-C5H5)2Zr(H2O)3]2+(CF3SO3−)2·THF

The ionic complex [(π-C₅H₅)₂Zr(H₂O)₃]²⁺(CF₃SO₃^?)₂·THF, which corresponds to the 18-electron rule, is formed in the reaction of (π-C₅H₅)₂Zr(CF₃SO₃)₂(THF) with H₂O in tetrahydrofuran. It crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₃ with Z = 6 and unit cell dimensions at ? 100°C of a 21.945(5) and c 8.711(3) Å. The geometry of the (π-C₅H₅)₂Zr moiety (length of the vectors between Zr and the C₅ ring centroids: 2.210 and 2.193 Å; angle between these vectors: 129.0°; angle between the C₅ ring normals: 128.3°) agrees with that of neutral, four-coordinate (π-C₅H₅)₂ZrX₂ compounds. The three H₂O ligands lie in the plane that bisects the angle between the C₅ ring planes. The ZrO distances are 2.239(7), 2.195(7), and 2.261(7) Å. The CF₃SO₃^? anions and the THF molecule of crystallization are packed around the complex cation in such a way that their oxygen atoms point towards the H₂O ligands. The CF₃ sides of the anion, on the other hand, are clustered together so as to produce hydrophobic domains in the crystal structure.

Structures Of Tetraammine Salts [Pt(NH3)4](N03)2, [Pd(NH3)4](N03)2, and [Pd(NH3)4]F2 H20

This contribution presents the results of a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of three ammine complexes of bivalent platinum and palladium: [Pt(NH₃)₄](N0₃)2, [Pd(NH₃)₄](N0₃)₂ and [Pd(NH₃)₄]F₂H₂O. The first two compounds are isostructural; metal atoms are located on inversion centers, all other atoms are in general positions. A three-dimensional framework is built from planar-square complex cations and nitrate ions joined by N-H...O hydrogen bonds. In [Pd(NH₃)₄]F₂H₂O, palladium atoms, as in the previous cases, are located on inversion centers, while oxygen atoms of water molecules are on the two-fold symmetry axis. A network of strong N-H...F and O-H...F hydrogen bonds linking the cations, anions, and crystallization water molecules is present in the structure.     

Spectroscopic properties of guanidinium zinc sulphate [C(NH2)3]2Zn(SO4)2 and ab initio calculations of [C(NH2)3]2 and HC(NH2)3

Raman and FTIR spectra of guanidinium zinc sulphate [C(NH₂)₃]₂Zn(SO₄)₂ are recorded and the spectral bands assignment is carried out in terms of the fundamental modes of vibration of the guanidinium cations and sulphate anions. The analysis of the spectrum reveals distorted SO₄²⁻ tetrahedra with distinct S–O bonds. The distortion of the sulphate tetrahedra is attributed to Zn–O–S–O–Zn bridging in the structure as well as hydrogen bonding. The CN₃ group is planar which is expressed in the twofold symmetry along the C–N (1) vector. Spectral studies also reveal the presence of hydrogen bonds in the sample. The vibrational frequencies of [C(NH₂)₃]₂ and HC(NH₂)₃ are computed using Gaussian 03 with HF/6-31G* as basis set.

Synthesis and structure of [C6H14N2][(UO2)4(HPO4)2(PO4)2(H2O)]·H2O: An expanded open-framework amine-bearing uranyl phosphate

A new open-framework compound, [C₆H₁₄N₂][(UO₂)₄(HPO₄)₂(PO₄)₂(H₂O)]·H₂O, (DUP-1) has been synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. The resulting structure consists of diprotonated DABCOH₂²⁺ (C₆H₁₄N₂²⁺) cations and occluded water molecules occupying the channels of a complex uranyl phosphate three-dimensional framework. The anionic lattice contains uranophane-like sheets connected by hydrated pentagonal bipyramidal UO₇ units. [C₆H₁₄N₂][(UO₂)₄(HPO₄)₂(PO₄)₂(H₂O)]·H₂O possesses five crystallographically unique U centers. U(VI) is present here in both six- and seven-coordinate environments. The DABCOH₂²⁺ cations are held within the channels by hydrogen bonds to both two uranyl oxygen atoms and a μ₂-O atom.

A study of the phase transitions and proton dynamics of the superprotonic conductor Cs5H3(SO4)4·0.5H2O single crystal with H and Cs nuclear magnetic resonance

The phase transitions and proton dynamics of Cs₅H₃(SO₄)₄·0.5H₂O single crystals were studied by measuring the NMR line shape, the spin-lattice relaxation time, T₁, and the spin-spin relaxation time, T₂, of the ¹H and ¹³³Cs nuclei. The “acid” protons and the “water” protons in Cs₅H₃(SO₄)₄·0.5H₂O were distinguished. The loss of water protons was observed above T_C1, whereas the content of water protons was found to recover above T_C2. Therefore, the water protons play a special role in the stability of the superprotonic phase at high temperatures. The mechanism of fast proton conduction was found to consist of hydrogen-bond proton transfer involving the breakage of the weak part of the hydrogen bond and the formation of a new hydrogen bond. Thus, these structural phase transitions probably involve significant reorientation of the SO₄ tetrahedra and dynamical disorder of the hydrogen bonds between them.

Crystal structure of [Cs2Na(H2O)2(C23H16O3)(C23H15O3)3]

The crystal structure of a double salt of sodium and cesium with 2-diphenylacetyl-1,3-indandione of the composition [Cs₂Na(H₂O)₂(C₂₃H₁₆O₃)(C₂₃H₁₅O₃)₃] (I) was studied by X-ray crystallography.

The trimers are connected to adjacent trimers by paired C-H...O contacts to form layers. The layers form an infinite open framework via hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of keto groups of noncoordinated indandione moieties and water molecules that enter the cesium coordination sphere in trimers of the adjacent layers.     

Co3{CH3C(NH3)(PO3H)(PO3)}2 {CH3C(NH3)(PO3H)2}2(H2O)4·2H2O: A cobalt 1-aminoethylidenediphosphonate with a layer structure

This paper describes the structure and magnetic properties of a novel cobalt 1-aminoethylidenediphosphonate compound, namely Co₃{CH₃C(NH₃)(PO₃H)(PO₃)}₂{CH₃C(NH₃)(PO₃H)₂}₂(H₂O)₄·2H₂O (1). The structure contains a trimer unit of Co₃{CH₃C(NH₃)(PO₃H)(PO₃)}₂ in which two equivalent phosphonate ligands chelate and bridge the three cobalt ions. Each trimer unit is further linked to its four equivalent neighbors through corner-sharing of CoO₆ octahedra and CPO₃ tetrahedra, forming a two-dimensional layer in the bc-plane which contains 12-membered rings. These layers are connected to each other by extensive hydrogen bonds. Magnetic studies show that weak antiferromagnetic interactions are mediated between the cobalt ions.

Three-dimensional five-connected coordination polymer [M2(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2(μ2-hmt)]n with 46 topologies (M=Zn, Cu; hmt=hexamethylenetetramine)

Two novel three-dimensional five-connected coordination polymers [M₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n with 4⁴6⁶ topologies (M=Zn, Cu; hmt=hexamethylenetetramine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, crystal structure, IR, thermal gravimetric analyses. Both [Zn₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n and [Cu₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n all crystallize in the orthorhombic system, space group Imm2, and with Z=2. Metal ions have all octahedral geometry coordinated by four oxygen atoms from three malonates, one oxygen atom from a water molecule and one nitrogen atom of hmt ligand. Each malonate binds a metal ion with its two oxygen atoms in a chelating mode and connects to adjacent two metal ions with another two oxygen atoms to form an infinite wavy layer. The layers are bridged by μ₂-hmt molecules to form a three-dimensional framework with channels. The magnetic susceptibility data show there is a weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction in the complex [Cu₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n.

Single crystals of (CN₃H₆)₂[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SeO₃)₂] were synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Uranium-containing complex groups are linked by electrostatic interactions and a network of hydrogen bonds with CN₃H₆⁺ guanidinium ions to form a three-dimensional framework.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, infrared and Raman spectra of Sr4Cu3(AsO4)2(AsO3OH)4·3H2O and Ba2Cu4(AsO4)2(AsO3OH)3

The two new compounds, Sr₄Cu₃(AsO₄)₂(AsO₃OH)₄·3H₂O (1) and Ba₂Cu₄(AsO₄)₂(AsO₃OH)₃(2), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. They represent previously unknown structure types and are the first compounds synthesized in the systems SrO/BaO-CuO-As₂O₅-H₂O. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction [space group C2/c, a=18.536(4) Å, b=5.179(1) Å, c=24.898(5) Å, β=93.67(3)°, V=2344.0(8) Å³, Z=4 for 1; space group P4₂/n, a=7.775(1) Å, c=13.698(3) Å, V=828.1(2) Å³, Z=2 for 2]. The crystal structure of 1 is related to a group of compounds formed by Cu²⁺-(XO₄)³⁻ layers (X=P⁵⁺, As⁵⁺) linked by M cations (M=alkali, alkaline earth, Pb²⁺, or Ag⁺) and partly by hydrogen bonds. In 1, worth mentioning is the very short hydrogen bond length, D···A=2.477(3) Å. It is one of the examples of extremely short hydrogen bonds, where the donor and acceptor are crystallographically different. Compound 2 represents a layered structure consisting of Cu₂O₈ centrosymmetric dimers crosslinked by As1φ₄ tetrahedra, where φ is O or OH, which are interconnected by Ba, As2 and hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network. The layers are formed by Cu₂O₈ centrosymmetric dimers of CuO₅ edge-sharing polyhedra, crosslinked by As1O₄ tetrahedra. Vibrational spectra (FTIR and Raman) of both compounds are described. The spectroscopic manifestation of the very short hydrogen bond in 1, and ABC-like spectra in 2 were discussed.     

Synthesis, structure determination, and infrared spectroscopy of (NpO2)2(SO4)(H2O)4: Prevalence of cation-cation interactions and cationic nets in neptunyl sulfate compounds

The compound (NpO₂)₂(SO₄)(H₂O)₄ was synthesized by evaporation of a Np⁵⁺ sulfate solution. The crystal structure was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R₁=0.0310. (NpO₂)₂(SO₄)(H₂O)₄ crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1, a=8.1102(7) Å, b=8.7506(7) Å, c=16.234(1) Å, α=90.242(2)°, β=92.855(2)°, γ=113.067(2)°, V=1058.3(2) Å³, and Z=2. The structure contains neptunyl pentagonal bipyramids that share vertices through cation-cation interactions to form a sheet or cationic net. The sheet is decorated on each side by vertex sharing with sulfate tetrahedra, and adjacent sheets are linked together through hydrogen bonding. A graphical representation of (NpO₂)₂(SO₄)(H₂O)₄ was constructed to facilitate the structural comparison to similar Np⁵⁺ compounds. The prevalence of the cationic nets in neptunyl sulfate compounds related to the overall stability of the structure is also discussed.     

Crystal structure and optical properties of novel (N(C2H5)4)[Nd(hfa)4(H2O)] tetrakis complex

Crystal and molecular structure of the novel tetrakis hexafluoroacetyloacetonate neodymium(III) single crystal, (N(C₂H₅)₄)[Nd(hfa)₄(H₂O)] (hfa – hexafluoroacetylacetone), obtained by us, has been determined by X-ray diffractometry. The complex was characterized using IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. An absorption spectrum of the single crystal was recorded and parameterized in terms of Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters Ω_λ. The experimental values of Ω_λ have been compared with those calculated based on the crystallographic data and taking into account the forced electric dipole and dynamic coupling mechanisms. Our study reveals a strong effect of hydrogen bonds, formed between the ligand’s ketone oxygens and the water molecule from the neighboring complex anion, on the polarisation of the chemical environment of Nd³⁺ ions as well as a high value of Ω₂ intensity parameter. The molecular structure of the complex can be satisfactorily predicted by the SMLC/AM1 (sparkle model for the calculation of lanthanide complexes within Austin model 1) method.     

Experimental evidence of interactions SO2−4 −H2O in an aqueous solution

The scattering of X-rays from a (NH₄)₂SO₄ aqueous solution has been measured and analysed at 25°C. It is shown that the sample may be considered as a solution of sulphate ions in water. In this way the existence of discrete SO^?2₄ ?H₂O interactions can be unambiguously demonstrated. Good agreement with experimental data is achieved through a model in which each oxygen atom in the sulphate ion gives rise to about two hydrogen bonds with water molecules.     

Thermodynamic study of systems with lower critical solution temperatures: H2O + (C2H5)3N,D2O + (C2H5)3N

Chand, A., McQuillan, A.R. and Fenby, D.V., 1979. Thermodynamic study of systems with lower critical solution temperatures: H₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N, D₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2: 263–274.Molar excess enthalpies and molar excess volumes are reported for the systems H₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N and D₂O + (C₂H₅)₃N at temperatures below and above their lower critical solution temperatures. The molar excess enthalpies are slightly less exothermic for the D₂O system. The molar excess volumes of the H₂O and D₂O systems are within experimental error of one another. Compositions of conjugate solutions estimated from the calorimetric and volumetric measurements agree with those obtained from published liquid—liquid phase diagrams.
