Synthesis, spectroscopic studies, and crystal structure of tris(tetra-n-butylammonium) hexakisisothiocyanatoindate(III)

The reaction of a 1:10 molar ratio between indium chloride and tetra-n-butylammonium thiocyanate in ethanol affords the complex [(n-C₄H₉)₄N]₃[In(NCS)₆] (1), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the cubic space group Pa3¯ with eight formula units in the unit cell. The formula unit consists of three separate cationic tetra-n-butylammonium groups and an independent hexakisisothiocyanatoindium anionic group. The six near linear thiocyanate ligands coordinate octahedrally through the nitrogen atom to the indium metal center. The coordination of the n-butyl groups to the ammonium-nitrogen atom is tetrahedral. The complex has also been characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, physical properties, and X-ray powder analysis.

The Crystal Structure of [La(NO3)6{Cu(2,2′-bipy)2}2][La(NO3)6Cu(2,2′-bipy)2]CH3CN with the Most Profuse Modes of Nitrate Coordination

The title compound [La(NO₃)₆{Cu(2,2′-bipy)₂}₂][La(NO₃)₆Cu(2,2′-bipy)₂] CH₃CN was synthesized, the crystal and molecular structures were determined at room temperature.

The crystal structure consisted of a discrete [La(NO₃)₆{Cu(2,2′-bipy)₂}₂]⁺ cation and [La(NO₃)₆Cu(2,2′-bipy)₂]^- anion and a non-coordinated CH₃CN molecule. Each La(III) ion was 12-coordinate with twelve oxygen atoms from six chelating nitrate ligands.

Crystal structure of 2,2,4,7,7-pentamethyl-3,6-dithiaoctane tetracarbonyl tungsten(0)

The x-ray crystal structure of the complex ²-PDOW(CO)₄ (five-membered ring, PDO = 2, 2, 4, 7, 7-pentamethyl-3,6-dithiaoctane) is reported. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P2₁/c, [#14] with unit cell parameters a = 14.002(14) Å, b = 9.340(10) Å, c = 15.094(12) Å, = 92.67(4)°, V = 1972(3) ų; Z = 4. The arrangement of the ligands around the metal atom is distorted from octahedral geometry. Large C–O bond distances and short W–C bond distances of the carbonyl groups located at a trans position with respect to PDO is indicative of a trans influence. The W–S(1) and W–S(2) bond distances of 2.545(3) and 2.545(2) Å, respectively, are shorter than observed for closely related complexes.     

Crystal structure of tris (phenylammonium) chloride pentachloroantimonate (III) monohydrate

The tris (phenylammonium) chloride pentachloroantimonate (III) monohydrate salt is triclinic with the following cell parameters: a = 9.4283(3), b = 11.4482(3), c = 13.1748(3)Å, = 113.493(2), = 90.381(2), = 97.331(1)°, V = 1290.86(6)ų, with Z = 2 formula units. The structure consists of [C₆H₅NH₃]⁺ cations, water molecules, Cl^– anions, and SbCl₅ square pyramids. Hydrogen bonds, established through water molecule, link the anions [SbCl₅]^2– and Cl^– and make an infinite chain in the [011] direction. Chains are linked together via another hydrogen bond network originating from the ammonium groups. A distortion of the SbCl₅ square pyramid can be attributed to the stereo activity of the Sb(III) lone electron pair.     

Structural characterization of a zinc(II) complex of a tris(oxime)amine ligand

The ligand tris(1-propan-2-onyl oxime)amine (TRISOXH₃) binds to zinc(II) acetate as a tridentate N₃ donor, with a third oxime group remaining unbound and extending into the crystal lattice. The crystal structure shows a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the zinc center. An intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between a coordinated oxime donor and an oxygen of a bound acetate is observed. This structure is similar to that of a previously reported zinc(II) complex of a related bis(oxime)amine ligand. However, the structure of Zn(TRISOXH₃)(OAc)₂ is different in ligand coordination mode and metal coordination number from those of the previously reported complexes Ni(TRISOXH₃)Cl₂ or [Ni(TRISOXH₃)(NO₃)(H₂O)]NO₃.

The Sm atom is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms of four water molecules and four DMF molecules and one nitrogen atom of the bridging cyanide ligand. The iron atom assumes approximately an octahedral environment surrounded by six CN ligands. The hydrate water molecule is hydrogen-bonded to one of the O atoms bound to Sm. Each terminal CN ligand of the Fe(CN) ₆ ^3– entity is hydrogen-bonded to some O atoms of water molecules. An infrared spectrum is also reported.     

X-ray structures of tris(0-cyclohexyl-dithiocarbonato)bismuth(III) and tris(0-benzyl-dithiocarbonato)bismuth(III)

The crystal structures of two Bi tris xanthates are reported, namely [Bi(S₂CO-c-C₆H₁₁)₃ J and [Bi(S₂COCH₂C₆H₅)₃]. They exist as centrosymmetric dimers, owing to the presence of bridging xanthate ligands, with seven-coordinate Bi atoms. The presence of a stereochemically active lonepair of electrons in each structure distorts the coordination geometry defined by seven S atoms and causes the elongation of some of the Bi-S bond distances. Crystals of both compounds are triclinic, space groupP¯1 with unit cell dimensions for [Bi(S₂CO-c-C₆H₁₁)₃]:a=12.417(3),b=13.571(3),c=9.681(4) Å;=102.30(2),=109.21(2), =66.23(2)° andZ=2; and for [Bi(S₂COCH₂C₆H₅)₃]:a=14.747(2),b=15.966(2),c=5.991(1) Å;=95.08(1),=98.51(1), =104.92(1)° andZ=2. The structures were refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to finalR=0.045 using 4274 reflections for [Bi(S₂CO-c-C₆H₁₁)₃] and toR=0.027 using 3993 reflections for [Bi(S₂COCH₂C₆H₅)₃].

Compounds 1–4 crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system: for 1, space group = P2₁/c, a = 15.3139(3) Å, b = 9.7297(4) Å, c = 19.0991(6) Å, = 105.928(1), V = 2736.5 ų, Z = 4; for 2, space group = P2₁/c, a = 15.6395(8) Å, b = 9.8182(5) Å, c = 19.4153(11) Å, = 106.741(1), V = 2854.9(3) ų, Z = 4; for 3, space group = P2₁/n, a = 11.3570(10) Å, b = 19.465(2) Å, c = 15.5702(14) Å, = 104.776(2), V = 3328.3(5) ų, Z = 4; and for 4, space group = C2/c, a = 32.078(2) Å, b = 10.4741(6) Å, c = 19.0608(9) Å, = 94.315(2), V = 6386.1(6) ų, Z = 8.     

The crystal and molecular structure of mercury(II) bis(isopropyl)dithiophosphate, Hg[S2P(OPri)2]2, revisited: new comments about its supramolecular self-organization

The crystal structure of the title compound, Hg[S₂P(OPrⁱ)₂]₂, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the centrosymmetric P2₁/c space group with a = 11.800(1), b = 8.925(2), c = 22.167(2) Å, = 94.988(7)°, and Z = 4. The same compound has been previously reported but the structure is described there in the space group C2/c. In both cases, one phosphorodithioate moiety acts as a chelating group and the other as a bridging group between neighboring mercury atoms (related to one another by the twofold screw axis), giving rise to an infinite polymer along the direction of the b axis. It turns out that in spite of the difference in space group symmetry, the structures are remarkable similar in that they are formed from infinite polymers of similar geometry. The coordination around the Hg ion shows, however, significant differences, mainly for the bridging Hg—S(4) bond length, which is 0.16 Å smaller than that previously reported.     

Tris-(thiocyanato)-bis-(hexamethylenetetramine)-nona-(aquo) lanthanum(III): synthesis, crystal structure, IR and Raman characterization

The title compound (LaC₁₅H₄₂N₁₁O₉S₃) was prepared and characterized by means of X-ray, IR and Raman measurements. The crystals are orthorhombic: Pnma (No. 62), a = 21.117(2), b = 14.736(2), c = 10.082(1) Å, and Z = 4. The structure consists of polyhedra with a La(III) ion in the center of them and hexamethylene molecules, which link these polyhedra. Each La(III) ion coordinates seven molecules of water and two thiocyanate ions via nitrogen atoms. The IR and Raman spectra, which have been obtained and interpreted, are in good agreement with X-ray results.     

Synthesis and X‐ray structure of two conformational isomers of [Zn(medpt)(SCN)2], medpt = bis (3 – aminopropyl)methylamine

Two conformational isomers of [Zn (medpt)(NCS)₂], medpt=bis(3‐aminopropyl) methylamine, (1) and (2) have been synthesised and the crystal structures are determined using single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The structures of the complexes have been solved by Patterson method and refined by full‐matrix least‐ squares techniques to R1 = 0.0524 for (1) and R1 = 0.0506 for (2), respectively. The geometry around the Zn(II) centre in both isomers is distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The two pendent thiocyanate moieties in (1), with Zn–N–C angles 167.9(4)–173.9(4)º, coordinate the mental centre almost linearly while the corresponding coordinations in (2) are significantly bent [Zn–N–C angles 150.8(3)–153.1(2)°]. Intermolecular N–H…S hydrogen bonds stabilise the crystal packing in the complexes forming infinite chains parallel to the [100] direction. The combinations of molecular chains generate three/two dimensional supramolecular framework in complexes (1) and (2). (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
