The reaction of Li[Al(OR)4] R = OC(CF3)2Ph, OC(CF3)3 with NO/NO2 giving NO[Al(OR)4], Li[NO3] and N2O. The synthesis of NO[Al(OR)4] from Li[Al(OR)4] and NO[SbF6] in sulfur dioxide solution

NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)] 1 and NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] 2 were obtained by the metathesis reaction of NO[SbF(6)] and the corresponding Li[Al(OR)(4)] salts in liquid sulfur dioxide solution in ca 40% (1) and 85% (2) isolated yield. 1 and 2, as well as Li[NO(3)] and N(2)O, were also given by the reaction of an excess of mixture of (90 mol%) NO, (10 mol%) NO(2) with Li[Al(OR)(4)] followed by extraction with SO(2). The unfavourable disproportionation reaction of 2NO(2)(g) to [NO](+)(g) and [NO(3)](-)(g)[DeltaH degrees = +616.2 kJ mol(-1)] is more than compensated by the disproportionation energy of 3NO(g) to N(2)O(g) and NO(2)(g)[DeltaH degrees =-155.4 kJ mol(-1)] and the lattice energy of Li[NO(3)](s)[U(POT)= 862 kJ mol(-1)]. Evidence is presented that the reaction proceeds via a complex of [Li](+) with NO, NO(2)(or their dimers) and N(2)O. NO(2) and Li[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] gave [NO(3)(NO)(3)][Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)](2), NO[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] and (NO(2))[Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)] products. The aluminium complex [Li[AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)]](2) 3 was prepared by the thermal decomposition of Li[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)]. Compounds 1 and 3 were characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analyses, 1-3 by elemental analyses, NMR, IR, Raman and mass spectra. Solid 1 contains [Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and [NO](+) weakly linked via donor acceptor interactions, while in the SO(2) solution there is an equilibrium between the associated [NO](+)[Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and separated solvated ions. Solid 2 contains essentially ionic [NO](+) and [Al(OC(CF(3))(3))(4)](-). Complex 3 consists of two [Li[AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)]] units linked via fluorine lithium contacts. Compound 1 is unstable in the SO(2) solution and decomposes to yield [AlF(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)](-), [(PhC(CF(3))(2)O)(3)Al(mu-F)Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(3)](-) anions as well as (NO)C(6)H(4)C(CF(3))(2)OH, while compound 2 is stable in liquid SO(2). The [small nu](NO(+)) in 1 and [NO](+)(toluene)[SbCl(6)] are similar, implying similar basicities of [Al(OC(CF(3))(2)Ph)(4)](-) and toluene.

Trans-[Cr(NH₃)₄(H₂O)Cl]Cl₂ (A) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/m (No. 11) with a = 6.556(1), b = 10.630(5), c = 6.729(2) Å and β = 96.15(3)°. Trans-[Cr(NH₃)₄Cl₂]I (B) has monoclinic C2/m (No. 12) space group and a = 9.877(2), b = 8.497(2), c = 6.047(2) Å and β = 108.98(2)°. Both unit cells contain two formula units. Cr? Cl, Cr? O(H₂O) and three independent Cr? N(NH₃) distances for A are 2.98(1), 2.023(2), 2.067(2), 2.086(3) and 2.064(3) °. Cr? Cl and Cr? N(NH₃) bonds in B are 2.325(1) and 2.071(2) °. All octahedral angles are close to 90 and 180°. Both structures were refined to very low R values. Water molecule from trans-[Cr(NH₃)₄(H₂O)Cl]²⁺ is hydrogen bonded to both ionic chlorides. Cation and two anions form the motive which repeats itself in the crystal. Cations and anions of the second structure are distributed in layers. Each cation and anion have coordination number eight.     

New Volatile Nitronium Nitratometalates: NO2[Fe(NO3)4] and NO2[Zr(NO3)5] — Synthesis and Crystal Structure

Crystalline NO₂[Fe(NO₃)₄] was obtained by dehydration of a solution of Fe(NO₃)₃ in 100 % HNO₃ and subsequent sublimation. NO₂[Zr(NO₃)₅] was synthesized by reaction of ZrCl₄ with N₂O₅ followed by sublimation in vacuum. X‐ray single crystal structure determination showed both compounds to consist of nitronium cations, NO₂⁺, and nitratometalate anions. N‐O distances in the linear NO₂⁺ cations are in the range of 1.08—1.13Å. In both [Fe(NO₃)₄]⁻ and [Zr(NO₃)₅]⁻ anions, all nitrate groups are coordinated bidentately with average M‐O distances 2.134 and 2.293Å, respectively. Taking into account the position of N atoms around the M atoms, the arrangement of nitrate groups can be described as tetrahedral for the Fe complex and trigonal‐bipyramidal for the Zr complex. There are four shortest N(nitronium)····O(nitrate group) contacts with average distances of 2.705 and 2.726Å in NO₂[Fe(NO₃)₄] and 2.749Å in NO₂[Zr(NO₃)₅]. Nitronium pentanitratohafnate is isotypic to the zirconium complex.

Nitrosylbromokomplexe des Rheniums: Re(NO)2Br3 und [Re(NO)2Br4]⊖; die Kristallstruktur von PPh4[Re(NO)2Br4] · 2 CCl4

Nitrosyl Bromo Complexes of Rhenium: Re(NO)₂Br₃ and [Re(NO)₂Br₄]^?; Crystal Structure of PPh₄[Re(NO)₂Br₄] · 2 CCl₄ PPh₄[Re(NO)₂Br₄] is prepared in the form of dark red-brown powder by the reaction of PPh₄[Re(NO)₂Cl₄] with excess boron tribromide. From a solution of CH₂Br₂ and CCl₄ it crystallizes with two moles CCl₄, one of which splits off easily in vacuo. The reaction of aluminum tribromide in CH₂Br₂ solution leads to a slightly soluble red-brown Re(NO)₂Br₃ powder. The i.r. spectra indicate cis positions of the covalently bound NO ligands in both complexes. Re(NO)₂Br₃ is dimeric via bromo bridges. The crystal structure determination of PPh₄[Re(NO)₂Br₄] · 2 CCl₄ was solved by X-ray diffraction methods at ? 115°C. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with four formula units per unit cell (4434 independent reflexions, R = 0.085). The unit cell dimensions are a = 1 092.3 pm, b = 2088.0 pm, c = 1 657.6 pm, β = 96.10°. The structure consists of P(C₆H₅)₄^? cations, [Re(NO)₂Br₄]^? anions and intercalated CCl₄ molecules. In the anion the NO groups are covalently bound to the Re atom like \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {{\rm RE}}\limits^ \ominus = \mathop {\rm N}\limits^ \oplus = {\rm O} $\end{document} and they are arranged in cis position to one another.     

Phase diagrams for the [Th(NO3)4(TBP)2]-decane-[UO2(NO3)2(TBP)2] liquid ternary system

We report a phase diagram (on the mole fraction scale) for the [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂]-decane-[UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂](1-2-3) ternary liquid system, where TBP stands for tributyl phosphate, at T = 298.15 K. This system is characterized by a homogeneous solution field and a two-liquid field (immiscibility field); one phase (phase I) is enriched in [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂] and [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂], and the other (phase II) is enriched in decane. Molecular interaction parameters and excess Gibbs energies G ^ex were calculated for the binary systems and the ternary liquid system along the binodal curve proceeding from miscibility in the [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂]-decane system and the ternary system and using equations of the NTRL model. For the ternary system, G ^ex > 0. G ^ex decreases in the following order of pairs of liquids: (1, 2) > (2, 3) > (1, 3).     

1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐与乙酸钠混合电解液中三价铬电镀的研究

本文研究了Cr³⁺在1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐（[BMIM]HSO₄）电解液中的电沉积反应以及添加剂NaOAc对电镀铬的影响. 含Cr³⁺电解液的循环伏安结果表明,Cr(III)还原为Cr(II)的峰电位是-1.5 V (vs. Pt), 峰电位和峰电流均满足Rendle-Sevcik扩散方程,由该方程计算得到Cr³⁺的扩散系数为1.6 × 10^-8 cm²·s^-1. 铬镀层的X射线衍射和扫描电子显微镜表征结果表明镀层由纳米球状的单质铬颗粒聚集而成,其平均粒径为0.87μm. 在电解液中添加NaOAc后,Cr³⁺的还原峰电位正移了约0.25 V. 同时EDS结果表明,在NaOAc的作用下镀层中Cr/O摩尔比由4.48增加至6.28,这说明OAc^-有利于单质铬的电沉积. 当电解液中NaOAc-[BMIM]HSO₄-CrCl₃-H₂O的摩尔比为0.075:1:0.5:6时,所得的镀层最厚(63 μm)与电流效率最高(33.5%).

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cr(NH₃)₆][Cr(NH₃)₂F₄][BF₄]₂ The action of ammonium fluoride on a mixture of boron and chromium in a sealed Monel ampoule at 300 °C yields single crystals of [Cr(NH₃)₆][Cr(NH₃)₂F₄][BF₄]₂. The crystal structure (tetragonal, P4/mbm, Z = 2, a = 1056.0(1), c = 781.7(1) pm; R₁ = 0.0414; wR₂ = 0.1087 for 411 reflections with I₀ > 2σ(I)) contains [Cr(NH₃)₆]³⁺ and [Cr(NH₃)₂F₄]^– octahedra and twice as many [BF₄]^– tetrahedra that are arranged in a quadrupled super‐structure of the CsCl‐type of structure.     

Neue Nitrosylkomplexe des Rheniums: ReCl3(NO)2, ReCl3(NO)2(CH3CN), AsPh4[ReCl4(NO)2]

New Nitrosyl Complexes of Rhenium: ReCl₃(NO)₂, ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN), AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] ReCl₃(NO)₂, which is associated via chlorine bridges, was obtained in quantitative yield from rhenium pentachloride and trichloro nitromethane. Using acetonitrile, the monomer complex ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN) can be obtained from it, from which AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] arises with tetraphenylarsoniumchloride. The i.r. spectra are reported and assigned. The crystal structures were determined for the latter two compounds with the help of X-ray diffraction data. ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with four molecules per unit cell, AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with two formula units. In all three compounds, the two NO groups linked to a Re atom are arranged cis to one another. As the anion in AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] is situated on a fourfold axis, the cis-configuration causes a statistical disorder in the crystal.
