Die Perthioborate RbBS3, TIBS3 und TI3B3S10

The Perthioborates RbBS₃, TIBS₃, and Tl₃B₃S₁₀ . RbBS₃ (P2₁/c, a=7.082(2) Å, b=11.863(4) Å, c=5.794(2) Å, β=106.54(2)°) was prepared as colourless, plate-shaped crystals by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of rubidium sulfide, boron, and sulfur at 600°C and subsequent annealing.

In the case of RbBS₃ and TlBS₃ nonplanar five-membered B₂S₃ rings are spirocyclically connected via the boron atoms. To obtain the anionic structure of Tl₃B₃S₁₀ every third B₂S₃ ring of the polymeric chains of MBS₃ is to be substituted by a six-membered B(S₂)₂B ring.

These new chalcogenoborates contain B₁₂ icosahedra completely saturated with six trigonal-planar BSe₃ entities functioning as bidentate ligands to form a persubstituted closo-dodecaborate anion. The two isotypic compounds Rb₄Hg₂[B₁₂(BSe₃)₆] and Cs₄Hg₂[B₁₂(BSe₃)₆] are the first selenoborate structures containing a transition metal which are characterized by single crystal diffraction.     

Donor and acceptor properties of the solvents tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrothiophene

The donor and acceptor properties of tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydro-thiophene were evaluated by means of electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. Polarographic and cyclovoltammetric data for LiClO₄, NaClO₄, KClO₄, RbClO₄, CsClO₄, Ba(ClO₄)₂, AgCF₃SO₃, TlClO₄, Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂, Cd(CF₃SO₃)₂, Cu(CF₃SO₃)₂, Pb(CF₃SO₃)₂, Mn(CF₃SO₃)₂, Co(CF₃SO₃)₂, Ni(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, oxygen, perylene, ferrocene, and bis(biphenyl)chromium tetraphenylborate in tetrahydrofuran and of TlClO₄, CuCF₃SO₃, Pb(CF₃SO₃)₂, Cd(CF₃SO₃)₂, oxygen, ferrocene and bis(biphenyl)chromium tetraphenylborate in tetrahydrothiophene together with the potentials of the Ag/0.01 M Ag⁺-ion electrodes in these two solvents are given. Molar Gibbs (free) energies for the transfer from acetonitrile into tetrahydrofuran for Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Ag⁺, Tl⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺, and for the transfer into tetrahydrothiophene for Ag⁺, Cu⁺, Tl⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ were calculated from these data. Visible spectra were obtained for the solvatochromic dyes acetylacetonato(N,N,N,N,-tetramethylethylenediamine) copper(II) perchlorate and for 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-l-pyridinio)phenoxide, which served as secondary standards to obtain donor and acceptor numbers. The changes in half-wave potentials of the cations vs. bis(biphenyl)chromium(I)/(0) and the Gibbs energies of transfer are discussed on basis of hard and soft donor properties of these two solvents.     

Adducts of Cyclodiphosph(V)azenes: Synthesis and Structure

The reaction of Ph₂PCl and PhPCl₂ with bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfur diimide in the presence of GaCl₃ and AlCl₃ yields diadducts of the corresponding cyclodiphosph(V)azene: [Ph₂PN]₂·(GaCl₃)₂ ( 1 ), [Ph₂PN]₂·(AlCl₃)₂ ( 2 ), and [Ph(Cl)PN]₂·(AlCl₃)₂ ( 3 ).

Bimetallic catalysts, PdCl₂-MX_n and PdCl₂(PhCN)₂-Mx_n (MX_n=FeCl₃, Fe(acac)₃, Co(OAc)₂, CoCl₂, Co(acac)₂, NiCl₂, Ni(OAc)₂, RuCl₃, Cu(OAc)₂, CuCl₂), exhibit remarkable synergic effect which can obviously increase the activity of the monometallic Pd catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics, whereas MX_n alone is not catalytically active under the same reaction conditions.     

Crystal and molecular structures of bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3-methylaminoheptan-5-onate) copper(II) and nickel(II)

Two bis-chelates M(tmih)₂ (M = Cu(II), Ni(II), tmih = (CH₃)₃C(NCH₃)CHCOC(CH₃)₃)^? are synthesized and their crystal structures are determined using XRD (Bruker APEX-II diffractometer with a CCD detector, λMoK _α, λCuK _α, graphite monochromator, T = 240(2) K and 296(2) K): Cu(tmih)₂ (I) (space group P2₁/c, a = 12.9670(8) Å, b = 18.4921(9) Å, c = 11.0422(6) Å, β = 93.408(4)°, V = 2643.1(3) ų, Z = 4) and Ni(tmih)₂ (II) (space group P2₁/c, a = 12.810(2) Å, b = 18.529(2) Å, c = 11.243(2) Å, β = 91.959(7)°, V = 2667.1(6) ų, Z = 4). The complexes are isostructural; the coordination polyhedron of metal atoms is a flattened tetrahedron formed from two O atoms (Cu-O of 1.901(2) Å, 1.892(2) Å, Ni-O of 1.845(2) Å, 1.833(2) Å) and two N atoms (Cu-N of 1.976(3) Å, 1.972(3) Å, Ni-N of 1.911(2) Å, 1.920(2) Å) of the ligand; the chelate OMN angles (M = Cu(II), Ni(II)) are in the 87.4–93.1° range; the OMO and NMN angles are 162.2° and 167.2° in I, 171.1° and 173.2° in II. The complexes have the molecular structures formed from isolated molecules bonded by van der Waals interactions. Using a quantum chemical hybrid M06 method, the structures of copper(II) chelates with the H, CH₃, CH₂CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂, and C(CH₃)₃ substituents at the nitrogen atom are calculated. Found that with a bulky substituent at the nitrogen atom, the formation of chelates is hindered due to the intraligand repulsion between the atoms of this substituent and the tert-butyl group.

Four new Schiff base functionalized 1,2,3-triazolylidene nickel complexes, [Ni-(L₁NHC)₂](PF₆)₂; 3, [Ni-(L₂NHC)₂](PF₆)₂; 4, [Ni-(L₃NHC)](PF₆)₂; 7 and [Ni-(L₄NHC)](PF₆)₂; 8, (where L₁NHC = (E)-3-methyl-1-propyl-4-(2-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate(V), 1, L₂NHC = (E)-3-methyl-4-(2-((phenethylimino)methyl)phenyl)-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium hexafluorophosphate(V), 2, L₃NHC = 4,4′-(((1E)-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium) hexafluorophosphate(V), 5, and L₄NHC = 4,4′-(((1E)-(butane-1,4-diylbis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium) hexafluorophosphate(V), 6), were synthesised and characterised by a variety of spectroscopic methods. Square planar geometry was proposed for all the nickel complexes. The catalytic potential of the complexes was explored in the oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde, using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant in the presence of acetonitrile at 80 °C. All complexes showed good catalytic activity with high selectivity to benzaldehyde. Complex 3 gave a conversion of 88% and a selectivity of 70% to benzaldehyde in 6 h. However, complexes 4 and 7–8 gave lower conversions of 48–74% but with higher (up to 90%) selectivity to benzaldehyde. Results from kinetics studies determined the activation energy for the catalytic oxidation reaction as 65 ± 3 kJ/mol, first order in catalyst and fractional order in the oxidant. Results from UV-visible and CV studies of the catalytic activity of the Ni-triazolylidene complexes on styrene oxidation did not indicate any clear possibility of generation of a Ni(II) to Ni(III) catalytic cycle.

On the reactivity of platina‐β‐diketones: a straightforward synthesis of trans‐acetylchlorobis(phosphine)platinum(II) complexes and their reactivity

The platina‐β‐diketone [Pt₂{(COMe)₂H}₂(µ‐Cl)₂] ( 1 ) was found to react with monodentate phosphines to yield acetyl(chloro)platinum(II) complexes trans‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(PR₃)₂] (PR₃ = PPh₃, 2a ; P(4‐FC₆H₄)₃, 2b ; PMePh₂, 2c ; PMe₂Ph, 2d ; P(n‐Bu)₃, 2e ; P(o‐tol)₃, 2f ; P(m‐tol)₃, 2g ; P(p‐tol)₃, 2h ). In the reaction with P(o‐tol)₃ the methyl(carbonyl)platinum(II) complex [Pt(Me)Cl(CO){P(o‐tol)₃}] ( 3a ) was found to be an intermediate. On the other hand, treating 1 with P(C₆F₅)₃ led to the formation of [Pt(Me)Cl(CO){P(C₆F₅)₃}] ( 3b ), even in excess of the phosphine. Phosphine ligands with a lower donor capability in complexes 2 and the arsine ligand in trans‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(AsPh₃)₂] ( 2i ) proved to be subject to substitution by stronger donating phosphine ligands, thus forming complexes trans‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(L)L′] (L/L′ = AsPh₃/PPh₃, 4a ; PPh₃/P(n‐Bu)₃, 4b ) and cis‐[Pt(COMe)Cl(dppe)] ( 4c ). Furthermore, in boiling benzene, complexes 2a – 2c and 2i underwent decarbonylation yielding quantitatively methyl(chloro)platinum(II) complexes trans‐[Pt(Me)Cl(L)₂] (L = PPh₃, 5a ; P(4‐FC₆H₄)₃, 5b ; PMePh₂, 5c ; AsPh₃, 5d ). The identities of all complexes were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of 2a ·2CHCl₃, 2f and 5b showed that the platinum atom is square‐planar coordinated by two phosphine ligands (PPh₃, 2a ; P(o‐tol)₃, 2f ; P(4F‐C₆H₄)₃, 5b ) in mutual trans position as well as by an acetyl ligand ( 2a, 2f ) and a methyl ligand ( 5b ), respectively, trans to a chloro ligand. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of 3b exhibited a square‐planar platinum complex with the two π‐acceptor ligands CO and P(C₆F₅)₃ in mutual cis position (configuration index: SP‐4‐3).

Solvent properties of ethanediol and 2-mercaptoethanol

The nature of interactions between solutes and the solvents ethanediol and 2-mercaptoethanol were studied employing polarography, cyclic voltammetry and visible spectroscopy. The polarographic and voltammetric behavior of TlClO₄, Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂, Cd(CFP₃SO₃)₂, Pb(CF₃SO₃)₂, Cu(CF₃SO₃)₂, Mn(CF₃SO₃)₂, Co(CF₃SO₃)₂, Ni(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, oxygen and bis(biphenyl)-chromium(I) tetraphenylborate or iodide were measured. Gibbs energies of transfer based on the bis(biphenyl)chromium assumption were calculated for the transfer from acetonitrile into ethanediol for Tl⁺, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ as well as for Tl⁺, Cu⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ into 2-mercaptoethanol. The solvatochromic shift of acetylacetonato (N, N, N, N-tetramethyl-ethylenediamine)copper(II) perchlorate was used to evaluate the hard donor properties of ethanediol. The acceptor properties of both solvents were estimated from the low energy visible absorption band of bis(cyano)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II). The different behavior of ethanediol and 2-mercaptoethanol is discussed on the basis of the changes of half-wave potentials, of Gibbs energies of transfer and of the shifts of the solvatochromic compounds.
