The two diastereomers of [3] (2,5) (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethano) - [3] (2,5-dimethoxyparacyclophane)

As the first set of stereomeric donor-acceptor cyclophanes with TCNQ as an acceptor, $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$ were synthesized; their charge-transfer absorptions differ strongly as a consequence of the different donor-acceptor orientation.     

Strukturen von planaren und tetraedrischen TetrafulminatoMetallkomplexen: [N(C3H7)4]2 [Ni(CNO)4], [N(C3H7)4]2 [Pt(CNO)4] und [N(C3H7)4]2 [Zn(CNO)4]

Pseudohalogeno Metal Compounds. LXXVIII. Structures of Planar and Tetrahedral Tetrafulminato Metal Complexes: [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Ni(CNO)₄], [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Pt(CNO)₄], and [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Zn(CNO)₄] The crystals contain the tetrafulminatometallates of an ideal square planar structure ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–) with D_4h symmetry at the nickel and platinum atom and a tetrahedron ([Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) with perfect T_d symmetry at the zinc atom and with linear C≡N–O ligands. The metal carbon bonds (Ni–C: 187 pm, Pt–C: 200 pm, Zn–C: 201 pm) of the metal fulminates are very close to those of the corresponding cyano complexes. In the crystals the anions ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–, [Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) are separated by the cations ([N(C₃H₇)₄]⁺) which explains the thermal stability of these compounds.

Strukturchemische Untersuchungen von Monammin-Kupfer(I)-Komplexen: [CuNH3]2[Pt(CN)6], [CuNH3]2[Pt(CN)4] und Cu3[Co(CN)6]-2 NH3

Structurally Chemical Investigation of Monoammin Copper (I) Complexes : [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ The preparation and the properties of [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ are described. I.R. and Raman spectra have been recorded and assigned. According to X-ray powder diagrams, [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆] crystallizes in the trigonal space group D–P3 ml, a = 7.771, c = 5.988 Å, Z = 1. According to the spectroscopic and crystallographic data, it is concluded that the Cu_I ion is coordinated with one NH₃ group and with the N atoms of the cyanometallate anions. The coordination number of the Cu⁺ is 4 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆] and 3 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄]. In the Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2 NH₃ complex two Cu atoms have the coordination number 2, the third Cu atom 4.     

Synthesen und Charakterisierung von [Ni(tBuAs)6] und [Pd(tBuAs)6]

Syntheses and Characterization of [Ni(tBuAs)₆] and [Pd(tBuAs)₆] The reduction of tBuAsCl₂ with magnesium in the presence of NiCl₂ or PdCl₂ yields the complexes [Ni(tBuAs)₆] ( 2 ) and [Pd(tBuAs)₆] ( 3 ). The structure of ( 2 ) was determined by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. ( 2 ) consists of the sixmembered ring (tBuAs)₆ in chair conformation with the nickel atom in the center of this ring.

Expanded Porphyrin Contraction: From [22]Triphyrin(6.6.0) to [22]Triphyrin(6.5.0)

An expanded triphyrin containing a bipyrrole moiety and annulene links, namely tetraphenyl-[22]triphyrin(6.5.0), 2 , has been synthesized. The synthesis proceeded by a postsynthetic transformation of tetraphenyl-[22]triphyrin(6.6.0), 1 , in a metal-free unexpected and unprecedented ring contraction during column chromatography on alumina. The observed transformation, located at the hydrocarbon chain linking the pyrrole units, formally corresponds to a subtraction of one carbon atom from an annulene circuit. In contrast to the flexible substrate 1 , the product 2 is conformationally rigid, and capable of chloride anion binding in its protonated form.     

Two new [Ni(tren)2]2+ complexes: [Ni(tren)2]Cl2 and [Ni(tren)2]WS4

Both title compounds, bis­[tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine]­nickel(II) dichloride, [Ni(tren)₂]Cl₂, (I), and bis­[tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine]­nickel(II) tetra­thio­tungstate, [Ni(tren)₂]WS₄, (II), contain the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ cation [tren is tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine, C₆H₁₈N₄]. The tren mol­ecule acts as a tridentate ligand around the central Ni atom, with the remaining primary amine group not bound to the central atom. In (I), Ni²⁺ is located on a centre of inversion surrounded by one crystallographically independent tren mol­ecule. In the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ cation of (II), the Ni atom is bound to two crystallographically independent tren mol­ecules. The Ni atoms in the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ complexes are in a distorted octahedral environment consisting of six N atoms from the chelating tren mol­ecules. The counter‐ions are chloride anions in (I) and the tetrahedral [WS₄]^2? anion in (II). Hydro­gen bonding is observed in both compounds.     

Das iso-Tetraphosphan P[P(SiMe3)Me]2[P(SiMe3)2]

H ? C Bond Cleavage in Ferrocene by Organylruthenium Complexes Cp*(Me₃P)₂RuCH₂CMe₃ ( 1 ) reacts at 85°C with ferrocene ( 2 ) by cleavage of one H? C bond in 2 to give CpFe[η⁵-C₅H₄Ru(PMe₃)₂Cp*] ( 3 ) (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; Cp* = η⁵-C₅Me₅) and neopentane. The ruthenium atom in 3 has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, the planar Cp ligands in the ferrocenyl fragment are eclipsed. Solutions of 3 in [D₆]benzene or [D₈]THF exhibit H? D exchange of the ferrocenyl protons. In the [D₈]THF molecule only the α-deuterium atoms are exchanged. Reaction pathways for this exchange are discussed.
