The complex compound of copper(II) nitrate with 1ethyltetrazole (ettz), Cu( C₃H₆N₄)₂(NO₃)(NO₃)_2/2] is studied by Xray diffraction analysis (“Syntex P2₁” automatic diffractometer, CuK_a radiation, graphite monochromator, 6/26 scan mode with V_min = 3.91 deg/min, the total number of data collected 3544 l_hkb including 3141 nonextinct l_hkl > 0, a correction for absorption (Μ = 25.08 cm^-1) applied by integrating over the crystal faces). The parameters of the orthorhombic unit cell (space group Pccn) are a = 15.436(3), b = 20.198(5), c = 19.587(3) Å, V_cell = 6107(2) Å^{3, Z} = 16, d_calc = 1.670 g/cm³. The two crystallographically independent copper atoms have a distorted octahedral environment (coordination node is CuN₂O₄), coordination number (CN) is 6 = 4 + t2. In the equatorial plane, two nitrogen atoms of ettz and two oxygen atoms of NO ₃ ^? groups are trans to each other; Cu-N = 1.983(8), C-O_{NO 3} ^? = 1.978(7) Å (average). The nitrato groups fulfill chelate and bridging functions, complementing the coordination polyhedra of the copper atoms to distorted octahedra, where Cu-O_{NO 3} ^? = 2.517(7) Å (average).

Structurally characterized ternary U-O-N compound, UN4O12: UO2(NO3)2.N2O4 or NO(+)UO2(NO3)3-?

The synthesis and characterization of the ternary U-O-N compound NO(+)UO2(NO3)3- (1) using IR and low-temperature and room-temperature Raman spectroscopy as well as 14N and 15N NMR spectroscopy are reported. In addition, solution Raman spectra of compound 1 recorded in various solvents are reported. The structure of compound 1 was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 13.3992(4) angstroms, b = 9.9781(4) angstroms, c = 7.6455(2) angstroms, beta = 115.452(2) degrees, V = 922.98(5) angstroms3, Z = 4. Compound 1 is highly moisture-sensitive and must be handled under an inert atmosphere. It reacts with water with the liberation of NO2. For the first time, this important precursor for the synthesis of anhydrous uranyl nitrate could be unambiguously identified and has been shown to be an ionic nitrosonium salt and not an adduct between uranyl nitrate and dinitrogen tetroxide, UO2(NO3)2.N2O4, as is incorrectly and predominantly cited in the literature.

Polymeric (NO)3(N2O) n , (NO)3(N2O) n + , and (NO)3(N2O) n − : an interpretation of experimental observations

Semi-empirical and ab initio calculations are reported which provide a possible explanation for reported experimental results on 2-photon ionization of NO containing a few percent of N₂O, which found (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ^+or? clusters to be significantly more abundant than other (NO) _m (N₂O) _n products. It is found that the observed abundances of (NO)₃(N₂O) _n ionic clusters may be accounted for by the existence of covalent cyclic trimers of nitric oxide attached to oligomers of nitrous oxide. The extra stability of NO trimers in the observed clusters appears to arise from (NO) ₃ ⁺ rather than (NO)₃. Attachment of an (N₂O) _n side chain to (NO) ₃ ⁺ occurs exothermically. It is suggested that the addition of N₂O to cyclic-(NO) ₃ ⁺ might provide a means of making a polymer of nitrous oxide, which could have useful properties.

Structure,synthesis, and thermal properties of trans-[Ru(NO)(NH3)4(SO4)]NO3·H2O

In treatment of trans-[Ru(NO)(NH₃)₄(OH)]Cl₂ with concentrated sulfuric acid on heating trans-[Ru(NO)(NH₃)₄(SO₄)](HSO₄)·H₂O (I) is obtained with a yield close to quantitative. In the interaction of the saturated solution of I with a saturated NaNO₃ solution a trans-[Ru(NO)(NH₃)₄(SO₄)]NO₃·H₂O (II) precipitate forms whose structure is determined by single crystal XRD: space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 6.8406(3) Å, b = 12.6581(5) Å, c = 13.3291(5) Å. A monodentately coordinated sulfate ion is in the trans-position to the nitroso group. Compound II is characterized by IR spectroscopy, powder XRD, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The process of its thermolysis is studied; by differential scanning calorimetry the thermal effect of the dehydration reaction occurring on heating to 120°C (ΔH = 58.9 ± 1.5 kJ/mol) is estimated. The final product of the thermolysis of II is a mixture of Ru and RuO₂.     

THE PHENOMENON OF CONGLOMERATE CRYSTALLIZATION. PART 50. THE CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF [trans-Co(en)2(NO2)2]ClO4 (I), MESO-[Co-trans-Me-(N-Me-ETHYLENEDIAMINE)2-trans-(NO2)2]ClO4 (II), K[trans-Co(β-ALANINATO)2(NO2)2] (III) AND THE ISOLATION AND PARTIAL STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION OF (H5O2)[trans-Co(β-ALANINATO)2(NO2)2] (IV)

Abstract

[trans-Co(en)₂(NO₂)₂]ClO₄ (I) crystallizes, at 22°C, from a deionized water solution, as a racemate, in space group P$1 (No. 2), with lattice constants: a = 6.581(2)Å, b = 8.274(1) Å, c = 12.660(3)Å, α = 77.28(2)Å, β = 76.58(2)°, γ = 75.20(2)° V = 638.71;ų and d(calc; MW = 370.59,z = 2) = 1.927gcm^?3. A total of 2233 data were collected over the range of 4° ≤ 2θ ≤ 50° of these, 1961 (independent and with I ≤ 3σ(I)) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (μ = 15.989 cm^?1) and the relative transmission coefficients ranged from 0.6792 to 0.9874. The final R(F) and R≤(F) residuals were, respectively, 0.0738 and 0.0763. Two half cations are located at inversion centers; the anions are in general positions.

meso-[Co-trans-Me-(N-Me-ethylenediamine)₂-trans(NO₂)₂]ClO₄ (II) [(N-Meen) = N-methyl-ethylenediamine] crystallizes at 22°C, from a deionized water solution in space group Pbca (No. 61) with lattice constants: a = 16.882(5) Å, b = 11.990(3) Å, c = 15.017(5) Å; V = 3039.72 ų and d (calc;MW = 398.64, z = 8) = 1.742g cm^?3. A total of 5281 data were collected over the range of 4° ≤ 2θ ≤ 50° of these, 1779 (independent and with I ≤ 2.5σ(I) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (μ = 13.501 cm^?1 and the transmission coefficients ranged from 0.7956 to 0.9947. The final refinement of the structure (anisotropic thermal parameters for the heavy atoms; idealized hydrogens for the cation) are R(F) = 0.045 and R_w (F) = 0.052). The -NO₂ ligands are trans to one another in the axial direction while the N-methyl groups are trans to one another across the basal plane. The cations are located in general positions and the torsional angles of the en rings are δ(N1-C1-C2-N2 = 52.0°) and δ(N3-C3-C4-C4 = 51.0°), in contrast with those of (I) which are of opposite helical chirality. This compound is one of two trans-Co(III)X₂ cations of which we are aware that, while sitting at a general position of the space group, has two ethytenediamine rings of the same helical chirality.

K[trans-Co(β-alaninato)₂(NO₂)₂] (III) obtained after several batches of crystals of (TV) had separated from the mother liquor (see Syntheses). (III) crystallizes at 22°C, in space group Cc (No. 9) with lattice constants: a = 12.385(6)Å, b=13.109(5)Å, c = 8.290(5)Å, β=115.19° V = 1217.97 ų and d(calc; MW = 366.22, z = 4) = 1.997 g cm^?3. A total of 1238 data were collected over the range of 4° ≤ 2θ 50° of these, 1016 (independent and with I ≤ 2.5σ(I) were used in the structural analysis. Data were corrected for absorption (μ 17.90cm^?1) and the transmission coefficients ranged from 0.5322 to 0.6627. The final R(F) and R_w (F) residuals were, respectively 0.020 and 0.022. Solution of the structure, using the first batch of crystals, proved that the compound isolated was the (H₅O₂)⁺ derivative (see below and Discussion). A later batch of crystals contained (III). We have previously observed the precipitation of hydronium salts, trapped by amine carboxylato salts of cobalt (see Discussion). The anions consist of two six-membered rings formed by the metal and two (O,N)-bound β-alaninato ligands; and, both have chair conformations.

(H₅O₂) [trans-Co(β-alaninato)₂(NO₂)₂] (IV) is the substance that first crystalized from an aqueous solution of (III) (see Experimental). It crystallizes, at 22°C, in space group Cc (No. 9) or C2/c (No. 15) with lattice constants: a=12.389(39)Å, b=13.120(11)Å, c=8.299(9) Å, β=115.09(19)° V=1221.72 ų and d(calc; MW=364.15, z=4) = 1.980 g cm^?3. An incomplete data set of 1592 reflections was collected over the range 4° ≤ 2θ ≤ 50° because the crystal decomposes in air due to rapid loss of water of crystallization, as shown by differential scanning calorimetry. 956 data were independent with I ≤ 2.5°(I) and were used in the structural analysis. Data were not corrected for absorption because of decomposition of the crystal. The final R(F) and R_w (F) residuals were, respectively, 0.14 and 0.16. To the precision of such a data set, the anions are identical with those found in (III); however the cation, which sits at an inversion center, consists of a proton sandwiched between the oxygens of two waters thus forming (H₅O₂)⁺ cations similar to those we have described in the past (see Refs. [15–18]).

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AND LUMINESCENCE OF (4, 4′ -DIMETHYL-2, 2′ -BIPYRIDINE)-TRIS(BENZOATE)EUROPIUM(III)

Abstract

A mixed ligand europium complex, [Eu(BA)₃dmbpy]₂, has been prepared, where BA = benzoate and dmbpy = 4, 4′-dimethyl-2, 2′-bipyridine. The complex crystallizes in the tri-clinic system, space group P ^? ₁. Its structure has been determined using X-ray diffraction methods. The two europium ions in the molecule are held together by four carboxylate groups of benzoic acid and each europium ion is further bonded to one bidentate carboxylate group and one 4, 4′-dimethyl-2, 2′-bipyridine molecule. Excitation and luminescence spectra observed at 77 K show that the europium site in the crystal has low symmetry and changes of the chemical surroundings of the europium ion in the molecule depend mainly on the flexibility of 4, 4′-dime-thyl-2, 2′-bibyridine.

The reaction of Cb*Co(CO)₂I (1) (Cb* is tetramethylcyclobutadiene) with sodium phenyltelluride afforded the mononuclesar complex Cb*Co(CO)₂TePh (2). The reaction of the latter with W(CO)₅(THF) produced the Cb*Co(CO)₂TePh[W(CO)₅] compound (4). The reaction of 1 with the Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂S complex gave the heterometallic cluster Cb*Co(μ₃-S)₂Cr₂Cp2 (μ-SCMe₃) (5). Complexes 2, 4, and 5 are diamagnetic. Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 2 contains the Co-Te bond (2.585(1) Å); complex 4, the Co-Te (2.558(8) Å) and W-Te (2.8467(6) Å) bonds. Complex 5 has the stable triangular sulfide-and tert-butylmercaptide-bridged core Cr₂Co (Cr-Cr and Cr-Co bond lengths are 2.626(2) and 2.673(2) Å, respectively) with Cp ligands at the chromium atoms and a Cb* ligand at the cobalt atom. Complex 5 was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The thermolysis of complex 4 was studied.

The geometry around each metal(II) center can be described as slightly distorted octahedral. Water-sulfonic clusters and (H₂O)₄ water clusters can be observed for 1 from the crystal packing diagram, while cavity and offset face-to-face π–π stacking can be observed for 2. The complexes have been tested for the antibacterial activities which show antibacterial activities of 1 for β-hemolytic streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and the antibacterial activity of 2 only for β-hemolytic streptococcus.     

Two isotypic transition metal germanophosphates M(II)4(H2O)4[Ge(OH)2(HPO4)2(PO4)2] (M(II) = Fe, Co): synthesis, structure, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic properties

Synthetic, structural, thermogravimetric, M?ssbauer spectroscopic, and magnetic studies were performed on two new isotypic germanophosphates, M(II)(4)(H(2)O)(4)[Ge(OH)(2)(HPO(4))(2)(PO(4))(2)] (M(II) = Fe, Co), which have been prepared under hydro-/solvo-thermal conditions. Their crystal structures, determined from single crystal data, are built from zigzag chains of M(II)O(6)-octahedra sharing either trans or skew edges interconnected by [GeP(4)O(14)(OH)(4)](8-) germanophosphate pentamers to form three-dimensional neutral framework structure. The edge-sharing M(II)O(6)-octahedral chains lead to interesting magnetic properties. These two germanophosphates exhibit a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition at low temperatures. Additionally, two antiferromagnetic ordering transitions at around 8 and 6 K were observed for cobalt compound while only one at 19 K for the iron compound. Low-dimensional magnetic correlations within the octahedral chains are also observed. The divalent state of Fe in the iron compound determined from the M?ssbauer study and the isothermal magnetization as well as thermal analyses are discussed.     

Synthesis, structures, and thermolysis of new heterometallic cobalt, nickel, and copper complexes with the [Ru(NO)(NO2)4(OH)]2− anion as a ligand

Heterometallic complexes with pyridine-N-oxide (PyO), Ru(NO)(NO₂)₄(OH)Ni(PyO)₂(H₂O)] · CH₃COCH₃ (I), [{Ru(NO)(NO₂)₂(μ-NO₂)₂(μ-OH)Co}₂(μ-PyO)] · H₂O · CH₃COCH (II), and [Ru(NO)(NO₂)₄(OH)Cu(PyO)₂ (III), are isolated in the reactions of Na₂[Ru(NO)(NO₂)₄(OH)] with nitrates of the corresponding metals in the presence of the organic ligand. The compounds synthesized are characterized by IR spectra, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Depending on the M²⁺ cation, the ruthenium cation is coordinated through the bidentate (III, Cu²⁺) or tridentate (I, Ni²⁺ and II, CO₂₊) mode involving the bridging OH group and one or two NO₂ groups. The thermal decomposition of complex II results in the formation of a Co_0.5Ru_0.5 solid solution, which is thermodynamically stable under the decomposition conditions. The thermolysis of complexes I and III in a hydrogen atmosphere leads to the formation of metastable solid solutions.

A novel complex [Ni(H₂O)₄(TO)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (TO = 1,2,4-triazole-5-one) was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The decomposition reaction kinetic of the complex was studied using TG-DTG. A multiple heating rate method was utilized to determine the apparent activation energy (E _a) and pre-exponential constant (A) of the former two decomposition stages, and the values are 109.2 kJ mol^?1, 10^13.80 s^?1; 108.0 kJ mol^?1, 10^23.23 s^?1, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion, the entropy of activation (ΔS ^≠), enthalpy of activation (ΔH ^≠) and the free energy of activation (ΔG ^≠) of the initial two decomposition stages of the complex were also calculated. The standard enthalpy of formation of the new complex was determined as being ?1464.55 ± 1.70 kJ mol^?1 by a rotating-bomb calorimeter.
