Metal Complexes of Dithiolate Ligands: 5,6-Dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dddt(2-)), 5,7-Dihydro-1,4,6-trithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dtdt(2-)), and 2-Thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato (dmit(2-)). Synthesis, Electrochemical Studies, Crystal and Electronic Structures, and Conducting Properties

New precursors to potentially conductive noninteger oxidation state (NIOS) compounds based on metal complexes [ML(2)](n)()(-) [M = Ni, Pd, Pt; L = 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dddt(2)(-)), 5,7-dihydro-1,4,6-trithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dtdt(2)(-)), and 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato (dmit(2)(-)); n = 2, 1, 0] have been investigated. Complexes of the series (NR(4))[ML(2)] (R = Me, Et, Bu; L = dddt(2)(-), dtdt(2)(-)) have been isolated and characterized, and the crystal structure of (NBu(4))[Pt(dtdt)(2)] (1) has been determined {1 = C(24)H(44)NPtS(10), a = 12.064(2) ?, b = 17.201(3) ?, c = 16.878(2) ?, beta = 102.22(2) degrees, V = 3423(1) ?(3), monoclinic, P2(1)/n, Z = 4}. Oxidation of these complexes affords the corresponding neutral species [ML(2)](0). Another series of general formula (cation)(n)()[M(dmit)(2)] [cation = PPN(+), BTP(+), and (SMe(y)()Et(3)(-)(y)())(+) with y = 0, 1, 2, and 3, n = 2, 1, M = Ni, Pd] has also been studied. All of these (cation)(n)()[M(dmit)(2)] complexes have been isolated and characterized [with the exception of (cation)[Pd(dmit)(2)] for cation = (SMe(y)()Et(3)(-)(y)())(+)]. The crystal structures of (PPN)[Ni(dmit)(2)].(CH(3))(2)CO (2) and (SMeEt(2))[Ni(dmit)(2)] (3) have been determined {2 = C(45)H(36)NNiS(10)P(2)O, a = 12.310(2) ?, b = 13.328(3) ?, c = 15.850(3) ?, alpha = 108.19(3) degrees, beta = 96.64(2) degrees, gamma = 99.67(2) degrees, V = 2373(1) ?(3), triclinic, P&onemacr;, Z = 2; 3 = C(11)H(13)NiS(11), a = 7.171(9) ?, b = 17.802(3) ?, c = 16.251(3) ?, beta = 94.39(4) degrees, V = 2068(2) ?(3), monoclinic, P2(1)/n, Z = 4} NIOS salts derived from the preceding precursors were obtained by electrochemical oxidation. Electrochemical studies of the [M(dddt)(2)] complexes show that they may be used for the preparation of NIOS radical cation salts and [M(dddt)(2)][M'(dmit)(2)](x)() compounds, but not for the preparation of (cation)[M(dddt)(2)](z)() NIOS radical anion salts. The electrochemical oxidation of the [M(dtdt)(2)](-) complexes always yields the neutral [M(dtdt)(2)](0) species. The crystal structure of [Pt(dddt)(2)][Ni(dmit)(2)](2) (4) has been determined and is consistent with the low compaction powder conductivity (5 x 10(-)(5) S cm(-)(1) at room temperature) {4 = C(20)H(8)Ni(2)PtS(28), a = 20.336(4) ?, b = 7.189(2) ?, c = 14.181(2) ?, beta = 97.16(2) degrees, V = 2057(1) ?(3), monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 2}. The crystal structures of the semiconducting NIOS compounds (BTP)[Ni(dmit)(2)](3) (5) and (SMe(3))[Ni(dmit)(2)](2) (6) have been determined {5 = C(43)H(22)PNi(3)S(30), a = 11.927(2) ?, b = 24.919(2) ?, c = 11.829(3) ?, alpha = 93.11(1) degrees, beta = 110.22(1) degrees, gamma = 83.94(1) degrees, V = 3284(1) ?(3), triclinic, P&onemacr;, Z = 2; 6 = C(15)H(9)Ni(2)S(21), a = 7.882(1) ?, b = 11.603(2) ?, c = 17.731(2) ?, alpha = 77.44(1) degrees, beta = 94.39(1) degrees, gamma = 81.27(1) degrees, V = 1563(1) ?(3), triclinic, P&onemacr;, Z = 2}. The parent compound (SEt(3))[Ni(dmit)(2)](z) (unknown stoichiometry) is also a semiconductor with a single-crystal conductivity at room temperature of 10 S cm(-)(1). By contrast, the single-crystal conductivity at room temperature of (SMeEt(2))[Pd(dmit)(2)](2) (7) is rather high (100 S cm(-)(1)). 7 behaves as a pseudometal down to 150 K and undergoes an irreversible metal-insulator transition below this temperature. The crystal structure of 7 has been determined {7 = C(17)H(13)NPd(2)S(21), a = 7.804(4) ?, b = 36.171(18) ?, c = 6.284(2) ?, alpha = 91.68(4) degrees, beta = 112.08(4) degrees, gamma = 88.79(5) degrees, V = 1643(1) ?(3), triclinic, P&onemacr;, Z = 2}. The electronic structure of (SMeEt(2))[Pd(dmit)(2)](2) (7) and the possible origin of the metal-insulator transition at 150 K are discussed on the basis of tight-binding band structure calculations.

Synthesis, Structure and Conductivity of （PyH）[Ni（dmit）2]2

A new molecular conductor (PyH)[Ni(dmit)2]2 (dmit = 4, 5-dimercapto-1, 3-dithiole-2-thione) has been prepared and its crystal structure has been determined. Crystallographic parameters for (PyH)[Ni(dmit)2]2: C17H6NNi2S20; triclinic system; P-1 space group; a = 5.9227 (4) , b =8.2279 (6), c = 16.7535 (9) A, a = 90.233 (5) , 0 = 92.107 (6) , y= 104.654 (6) ; V= 789.25 (9) A3; Z = 1; Dc = 2.068 g/cm3; F (000) = 491. The conductivity at one direction on (001) plane at room temperature was measured to be 0.13 ii^-cmf1. The resistivity-temperature curve in the temperature range of 90-290 K shows that this compound behaves as a semiconductor.

通过配体取代反应, 以W2S4(dtp)2 (dtp = S2P(OC2H5)2-)为起始物, 将它和(PhCO)2dmit(dmit = )及R4NBr (R = Et, Bu)反应, 首次获得两个二核钨化合物(Bu4N)2W2S4(dmit)2 (I)和(Et4N)2W2S4(dmit)2 (II). 并对这两个化合物进行了红外光谱表征, 测定了化合物(I)的13C NMR谱和晶体结构. 结构分析表明, 在化合物(I)的晶胞堆积中存在S(((S超分子相互作用. 对化合物(II)的变温电导率测定证实化合物(II)具有半导体导电性. 化合物(I)的结晶学参数为: 正交晶系, 空间群Pbcn, 晶胞参数a = 18.048 (5), b = 15.937 (5), c = 19.191 (6) ?, V = 5520 (5) ?3, Z = 4, R = 0.084, Rw = 0.090     

New 1:3 type nickel-bis(dithiolene) salt (FcCHCHPymCH3)[Ni(dmit)2]3 (dmit: 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate): its electrocrystallization, crystal structure, electrical properties, and electronic band structure analysis

Black single crystals of Ni(dmit)(2) complex (dmit: 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) with trans-4-[2-(1-ferrocenyl)vinyl]-1-methylpyridinium chromophore as a countercation, (FcCHCHPymCH(3))[Ni(dmit)(2)](3), were prepared by the electrocrystallization technique. In the triclinic structure of the complex (P, a = 11.430(5) A, b = 13.349(2) A, c = 19.355(6) A, alpha = 75.15(2) degrees , beta = 79.19(3) degrees , gamma = 82.12(2) degrees , Z = 2), Ni(dmit)(2) anion layers are separated by the cations with a relatively rare 1:3 cation-to-anion ratio. Detailed crystal and electronic structure analysis revealed that the anions are stacked in the layers to form alternating dimers and monomers rather than trimers. The measured electrical conductivity indicates a semiconducting property of the compound with an estimated energy gap of 0.06 eV. The calculated LUMO bands are very narrow, and the semiconducting behavior is more likely due to the electron localization mainly on the dimers, consistent with the observed longer Ni-S bond distances in the dimers.

A density functional study of the highly adaptable molecular structure of Mo(V) and W(V) dithiolene complexes: from three-dimensional antiferromagnet to spin ladder

Cp2M(dithiolene) (M = MoIV, WIV) d2 complexes exhibit a folding (theta) of the MS2C2 metallacycle along the S-S axis upon oxidation to the d1 paramagnetic cation. The evolution of the peculiar unfolded structure (theta = 0 degree) of Cp2Mo(dmit).+ (dmit2-, 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) in its AsF6- salt toward the introduction of heavy atoms (W, Se) is examined here by substituting dsit2- (dsit2-, 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-diselenolate) for dmit2- and/or W for Mo in those AsF6- salts. While [Cp2Mo(dsit).+][AsF6-] (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 9.071(2), b = 20.868(4), c = 10.243(2) A, V = 1938.9(7) A3, Z = 4) and [Cp2W(dmit).+][AsF6-] (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 9.0295(15), b = 20.568(2), c = 10.2641(12) A, V = 1906.2(4) A3, Z = 4) crystallize with an unfolded geometry and are isostructural with [Cp2Mo(dmit).+][AsF6-], the introduction of both W and dsit2- in Cp2W(dsit) stabilizes a fully different structure for [Cp2W(dsit).+][AsF6-] (monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 6.8442, b = 15.9923(13), c = 17.6594(16) A, beta = 90.934(11) degrees, V = 1932.6(3) A3, Z = 4) with the Cp2W(dsit).+ cation in a folded geometry (theta = 30.1(1) degrees). DFT calculations show that the variety of folding angles and hence of molecular structures found in those open-shell d1 Cp2M(dithiolene).+ complexes is attributable to a very low energy cost (< 1 kcal mol-1) for folding around the minimal energy folding angle. The molecular geometry of those complexes and hence their frontier orbitals are therefore highly related to the actual crystal structure they adopt. The unfolded complexes exhibit, in their AsF6- salts, a three-dimensional set of intermolecular interactions in the solid state, confirmed by the presence of an antiferromagnetic ground state (TNéel = 3.5(5) K in [Cp2W(dmit).+][AsF6-]). On the other hand, the folding of Cp2W(dsit).+ in [Cp2W(dsit).+][AsF6-] leads to the formation of a rare spin-ladder system with a spin gap of 90-100 K, as deduced from the temperature dependence of its magnetic susceptibility.

Synthesis and Structure of a Novel Ion-pair Palladium(Ⅱ) Compound Containing 2-Thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-bis(thiolate)

A novel ion-pair palladium(Ⅱ) compound,(NO2BzPy)2[Pd(dmit)2](NO2BzPy+ = 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium,dmit2-= 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-bis(thiolate)),was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination.This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P21/n with a = 10.4463(11),b = 8.5627(9),c = 20.017(2) ,β = 97.7730(10)°,V = 1774.1(3) 3,Z = 2,C30H22N4O4S10Pd,Mr = 929.52,Dc = 1.740 g/cm3,μ = 1.155 mm-1,S = 1.006,F(000) = 936,R = 0.0354 and wR = 0.0675.The most intriguing general structural feature of the compound is the completely segregated columnar stacks of anions and cations.There exist hydrogen-bonding interactions within the cation column.     

Two successive single crystal phase transitions involving the coordination sphere of antimony in PhSb(dmit), the first organo-antimony(III) dithiolene complex

PhSb(dmit) (dmit(2)(-), 4,5-dithiolato-1,3-dithiole-2-thione), the first neutral organo-antimony dithiolene complex, has been synthesized by addition of PhSbCl(2) on a suspension of Na(2)(dmit). The complex was characterized by spectroscopic ((1)H and (13)C NMR and IR) methods and elemental analysis. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature in the monoclinic P2(1)/c space group, with a = 12.580(3), b = 8.9756(18), c = 15.905(3) A, beta = 109.06(3) degrees, V = 1697.5(6) A(3), Z = 4. A coordinating THF molecule was found in the structure and the coordination geometry around the antimony atom is of distorted pseudopentagonal bipyramid type, if taking into account the Sb.O and secondary Sb.S interactions, as well as the stereochemically active 5s(2) lone pair. The intermolecular Sb.S and S.S contacts, shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of corresponding atoms, lead to the formation of a three-dimensional polymeric network in the solid state. A second X-ray diffraction experiment, performed at 85 K, revealed a very similar monoclinic unit cell with the noncentrosymmetrical space group P2(1) with a = 12.613(3), b = 8.9876(18), c = 15.109(3) A, beta = 107.01(3) degrees, V = 1637.8(6), Z = 4. The structural differences with the first one are basically due to the rotation of the THF ligand in the coordination sphere of the antimony center, leading to the loss of every inversion center found at room temperature. A temperature variable X-ray diffraction study on a PhSb(dmit) single-crystal allowed the detection, with a remarkable accuracy, of two successive first-order phase transitions, the first occurring at T = 162.5 K, while the second was observed at T = 182.5 K. Subsequently, a third set of X-ray data was collected at 180 K and the resulting structure (monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 16.736(3), b = 8.9653(18), c = 33.132(7) A, beta = 91.98(3) degrees, V = 4968.2(17), Z = 12) derives from the two others by a common b axis, a 3-fold cell volume increase, and the presence of only one-third of the inversion centers present at room temperature. A DSC analysis, showing two endothermic peaks at the expected temperatures, confirms the occurrence of the two structural phase transitions, also in agreement with preliminary Raman data.     

A series of neutral radical CpNi(dithiolene). complexes

The heteroleptic neutral radical dithiolene complexes CpNi(dmit)., CpNi(dsit). and CpNi(dmid).(dmit=1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate; dsit=1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-diselenolate; dmid=1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolate) are obtained from the reaction of (Cp2Ni)BF4 with either (n-Bu4N)[Ni(dmit)2] and (n-Bu4N)[Ni(dmid)2] or PhSb(dmit) and PhSb(dsit), respectively. The three complexes reduce reversibly to the corresponding Ni(II) anions and oxidize reversibly to the cationic state. As deduced from DFT calculations performed on CpNi(dmit)., the SOMO of these complexes is essentially localized on the dithiolene moiety with little metal contribution. CpNi(dsit). is isostructural with CpNi(dmit). and crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1). In the solid-state structures of both CpNi(dmit). and CpNi(dsit)., molecules interact through a three-dimensional set of intermolecular interactions mediated by short SS, SeSe and SSe contacts, as confirmed from the temperature and field dependence of the magnetic susceptibility by the observation of an antiferromagnetic ground state below T(Neel)=27 K in CpNi(dmit)., 18 K in CpNi(dsit).. Finally, CpNi(dmid). crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma. Molecules organize into uniform chains through the stacking of the dmid moieties in a sigma-type face-to-face overlap.     

Structures, energy bands and conductivities of (Me_3NEt)[Pd(dmit)_2]_2 and (NEt_4)[Pd(dmit)_2]_2

The electrical conductive molecular crystals (Me3NEt)[Pd(dmit)2]2 and (NEt4)[Pd (dmit)2]2 (dmit = 4,5-dimercapto-1,3-dithiole-2-thione) have been prepared, and their crystal structures and conductivity-temperature curves have been determined. The fact that the conductivity at room temperature of (Me3NEt)[Pd(dmit)2]2 (a = 58 Ω· cm-1) is much higher than that of (NEt4)-[Pd(dmit)2]2(cr= 2.2 Q~1 ?cm'1) has been rationally explained by the results of energy band calculations. (MeNEt3)[Pd(dmit)2]2 belongs to monoclinic system, P21/m space group and (NEt4)[Pd (dmit)2]2 belongs to triclinic system, P1 space group. The structural conducting component of the crystals is the planar coordinative anion [Pd(dmit)2]05- which forms the face-to-face dimmer [Pd(dmit)2]2-. These dimers have been further constructed to be a kind of two-dimensional (2-D)conductive molecular sheet by means of S…S intermolecular interactions. The tiny difference of the above 2-D molecular sheets of the two title crystals has resulted in one     

金属有机自由基离子盐[Fe(CpMe)2][M(dmit)2]和[FeCp(Tol)]n[M(dmit)2]的合成和固体导电性质

A family of oxo-chalcogenide molybdenum and tungsten complexes, (n-Bu4N)2[M2O2(mu-Q)2(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate)2] (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se): new synthetic entries, structure, and gas-phase behavior

A new series of complexes with the general formula (n-Bu4N)2[M2O2(micro-Q)2(dmit)2] (where M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se; dmit = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) have been prepared. Fragmentation of the trinuclear cluster (n-Bu4N)2[Mo3(micro3-S)(micro-S2)3(dmit)3] in the presence of triphenylphosphine (PPh3) gives the dinuclear compound (n-Bu4N)2[Mo2O2(micro-S)2(dmit)2] [(n-Bu4N)2[2]], which is formed via oxidation in air from the intermediate (n-Bu4N)2[Mo3(micro3-S)(micro-S)3(dmit)3] [(n-Bu4N)2[1]] complex. Ligand substitution of the molybdenum sulfur bridged [Mo2O2(micro-S)2(dimethylformamide)6]2+ dimer with the sodium salt of the dmit dithiolate also affords the dianionic compound (n-Bu4N)2[2]. The whole series, (n-Bu4N)2[Mo2O2(micro-Se)2(dmit)2] [(n-Bu4N)2[3]], (n-Bu4N)2[W2O2(micro-S)2(dmit)2] [(n-Bu4N)2[4]], (n-Bu4N)2[W2O2(micro-Se)2(dmit)2] [(n-Bu4N)2[5]], and (n-Bu4N)2[Mo2O2(micro-S)2(dmid)2] [(n-Bu4N)2[6]; dmid = 1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolate], has been synthesized by the excision of the polymeric (Mo3Q7Br4)x phases with PPh3 or 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane in acetonitrile followed by the dithiolene incorporation and further degradation in air. Direct evidence of the presence of the intermediates with the formula [M3Q4(dmit)3]2- (M = Mo, W; Q = S, Se) has been obtained by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The crystal structures of (n-Bu4N)2[1], (PPh4)2[Mo2O2(micro-S)2(dmit)2] [(PPh4)2[2]; PPh4 = tetraphenylphosphonium], (n-Bu4N)2[2], (n-Bu4N)2[4], (PPh4)2[W2O2(micro-Se)2(dmit)2] [(PPh4)2[5]], and (n-Bu4N)2[6] have been determined. A detailed study of the gas-phase behavior for compounds (n-Bu4N)2[2-6] shows an identical fragmentation pathway for the whole family that consists of a partial breaking of the two dithiolene ligands followed by the dissociation of the dinuclear cluster.     

Syntheses and structures of diorgano(halo- orpseudohalo-)(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)-stannates (1-), [Q][RSnX(dmit)] (Q=onium cation; X=halide orpseudohalide)

Ionic compounds, [Q] [R₂SnX(dmit)][dmit=1,3-dithiole-2-thione-dithiolate; Q=1,4-dimethylpyridinium or tetraalkylammonium; R=Phor alkyl; X=Cl, Br, I, NCS, NCSe, or N₃] have been obtained by (a) from R₂SnX₂ and [Q]₂[Zn(dmit)₂] in the presence of excess QX,(b) from halide exchange reactions in acetone solution between [Q] [R₂SnCl(dmit)]and a halide or pseudohalide source, or (c) by addition of QX to [R₂Sn(dmit)]. Crystalstructure determinations of [NEt₄] [Ph₂SnI(dmit)] and [1,4-Me₂pyridiniuml [Ph₂SnBr(dmit)] as well as of the mixed halides, [1a, 1b, 4a, 2] [Ph₂SnCl_nI₁₋n(dmit)] (n=0.57, 0.42 or0.22), indicated that the tin atoms have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries in the anions,with the X ligand and a dithiolato atom in the axial sites. The [R₂SnX(dmit)]⁻ anions remain essentially intact in organic solvents, but lose X⁻ on extractionwith H₂O to give the neutral species, R₂Sn(dmit).     

Structural phase transition of magnetic [Ni(dmit)2]- salts induced by supramolecular cation structures of (M+)([12]crown-4)2

Sandwich-type supramolecular cation structures of (M(+))([12]crown-4)(2) complexes (M(+) = Li(+), Na(+), K(+), and Rb(+)) were introduced as countercations to the [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anion, which bears an S = (1)/(2) spin, to form novel magnetic crystals (dmit(2-) = 2-thione-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). The zigzag arrangement of Li(+)([12]crown-4)(2) cations in Li(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) salt induced weak intermolecular interactions of [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) dimers, whose magnetic spins were isolated from each other. The molecular arrangements of cations and anions in M(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) salts (M(+) = Na(+), K(+), and Rb(+)) were isostructural to each other. In the case of Na(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-), the space group C2/m changed to C2/c with a lowering in temperature from 298 to 100 K. This structural change occurred at 222.5 K as a first-order phase transition. The space group C2/m (T = 298 K) in the salt K(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) also changed to C2/c (T = 100 K), which transition occurred at 270 K. Crystal structural analyses at 298 and 100 K revealed changes in both supramolecular cation conformation and [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anion arrangements. The transition from C2/m to C2/c crystals generated a dipole moment in the Na(+)([12]crown-4)(2) and K(+)([12]crown-4)(2) structures, which were reconstructed to cancel the net dipole moment of the C2/c crystals. These cation transformations led to changes in intermolecular interactions between the [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anions via structural rearrangements. The crystal structure of C2/c was stabilized in Rb(+)([12]crown-4)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](-) at 298 K. The [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) configuration in these salts with the C2/c space group was a one-dimensional uniform chain, which showed the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of a one-dimensional linear Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain.     

Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Gd2([18]crown-6)2(OH)2(CH3CN)2[Ni(dmit)2]4 complex having f- and pi-spins

Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Gd(2)([18]crown-6)(2)(OH)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)[Ni(dmit)(2)](2) (dmit(2)(-) = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) are reported. Gd(3+) ions (S = (7)/(2)) were introduced into the pi-spin network of [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) (S = (1)/(2)) complex as a binuclear supramolecular cation, Gd(2)([18]crown-6)(2)(OH)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2), in which two Gd([18]crown-6) units are bridged with two hydroxide ions. The weak antiferromagnetic interactions between Gd.Gd through hydroxide ions were observed, and [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) formed isolated monomers and dimers in the crystal.
