Bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl] Zinc, Cadmium, and Mercury – a Structural Study by IR and Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Analyses Raman and FT-IR spectra of bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl] zinc ( 1 ), cadmium ( 2 ) and mercury ( 3 ) were recorded. The vibrational data are in agreement with either D_3h or a D_3d symmetry. The latter had been shown to be the correct one at least for the solid state by X-ray diffraction experiments. All three compounds crystallize isomorphically in the triclinic centrosymmetric space group P1 .

The Hg—Si bondlength in 3 was found to be 246.9(2)pm, somewhat shorter then in all disilylmercury derivatives investigated sofar and even shorter than the Cd—Si bond in 2 (250.4(1)pm). Bondlengths and angles within the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group are virtually equal in all three group 12 derivatives and lie in the expected range.

Reaction of 1 with equimolar amounts of 2a affords the copper(I) chloride [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]CuCl ( 3 ). With a further equivalent of 2a homobimetallic [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]Cu₂Cl₂ ( 4 ) is formed, which also can be synthesized by the reaction of 1 with two equivalents of 2a. Complex 3 reacts with CuX (X = Br, I)to afford [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]Cu₂ClX ( 5a : X = Br; 5b : X = I) in which mixed halides are present. The newly synthesized complexes 3‐5 were characterized by elemental analyses, by their IR‐, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐ and ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR spectra as well as by mass spectrometrical studies. The solid‐state structures of complexes 3 and 4 are reported. Mononuclear 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 14.285(2), b = 10.853(2), c = 17.425(2) Å , β = 103.310(10)?, V = 2628.9(7) Å ³ and Z = 4 with 4053 observed unique reflections; R₁ = 0.0314. The crystal structure of 3 consists of monomeric molecules with planar coordinated copper(I) centres (CuClNP). Homobimetallic 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 23.905(4), b = 10.874(3), c = 25.314(5), β = 99.130(10)?, V = 6497(2) /Aring; ³ and Z = 4 with 9021 observed unique reflections; R₁ = 0.0480. In 4 one of two copper(I) centres possesses a distorted trigonal‐pyramidal environment, while the other one is almost square‐pyramidal coordinated. The Cu₂Cl₂ segment resembles to a building block which is set up by a contact ion pair consisting of Cu⁺ and [CuCl₂]^‐ , respectively.

Preparation of (C₆F₅)₂SF⁺MF₆^? (M ? As, Sb) and Crystal Structure of (C₆F₅)₂SF⁺SbF₆^? XeF⁺MF₆^? (M ? As, Sb) reacts with (C₆F₅)₂S in HF to form (C₆F₅)₂SF⁺MF₆^?. The deeply violet sulfonium salts can be kept without decomposition up to 24 h at room temperature. The hexafluoroantimonate salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1056.4(7) pm, b = 1446.3(10) pm, c = 1102.9(8) pm, β = 91.29(6)° und Z = 4. The SF-bond distance with 158.4(3) pm is of unusual length. Cations and anions are connected via interionic fluorine contacts to an infinite chain, in which cations and anions form to ABAB sequence along the chain.
