Two Novel Three‐Dimensional Lead(II) Coordination Polymers Involving 16‐Membered Rings: [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(bipy)2] and [Pb2(Bs‐glu)2(phen)2]

The reaction of Pb(CH₃COO)₂·3H₂O with N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid in the presence of 2, 2′‐bipyridine (bipy) or 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) produced two novel complexes [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(bipy)₂] ( 1 ) and [Pb₂(Bs‐glu)₂(phen)₂] ( 2 ) (Bs‐glu = N‐benzesulfonyl‐L‐glutamic acid dianion). In 1 chains bearing alternative 16‐membered rings and Pb₂O₃ nodes are constructed from the interactions of Pb^II ions with the carboxylates of Bs‐glu ligands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first lead(II) complex of carboxylates with the formation of chains of Pb₂O₃. In 2 the 16‐membered ring units are connected by centrosymmetric Pb₂O₂ nodes to form chains. Complexes 1 and 2 construct the 3‐D supramolecular architectures through versatile hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions.     

Atran-analoge Verbindungen III. Atran-analoge Verbindungen des Typs Me2DCH2CH2OSi(Me) (OCH2CH2)2D′ Me (I) und Me2DCH2CH2OSi(Me) (OCH2CH2D′Me2)OCH2CH2D″ Me2 (II) (MeCH3; D,D′, D‴N,P, As)

Atrane-analogous Compounds. III. Atrane-analogous Compounds of the Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me)(OCH₂ CH₂)₂ D′Me (I) and Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me) OCH₂CH₂₂D″Me₂ (II) (Me?CH₃; D, D′, D″?N, P, As) Atrane analogous compounds I and II (Abb. 1) have been prepared by condensation reactions of trifunctional silanes RSiX₃ (X?Cl, OEt, NMe₂) with N-methyldiethanolamine, ß-chloroethanol, ß-dimethylaminoethanol, and ß-dimethylarsanoethanol according to eqn. (1) to (3) and reaction schemes of Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. For compounds of type I weak N→Si adduct bonding is indicated for the MeN-donor of the eight-membered ring by significant shifts of the MeNCH₂ and OCH₂ proton n.m.r. signals. For compounds of type II there is no n.m.r. evidence for D→Si interactions. In spite of equal Lewis acidity of the Si atoms differences in adduct formation are observed for cage, ring, and acyclic podand systems, which can be explained mainly by entropy effects connected to the formation of five-membered rings.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu2(H2O)2(phen)2(OH)2][Cu2(phen)2(OH)2(CO3)2] · 10 H2O with phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline

The blue copper complex [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂][Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂] · 10 H₂O, which was prepared by reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline monohydrate, CuCl₂ · 2 H₂O and Na₂CO₃ in the presence of succinic acid in CH3OH/H₂O at pH = 13.0, crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 9.515(1) Å, b = 12.039(1) Å, c = 12.412(2) Å, α = 70.16(1)°, β = 85.45(1)°, γ = 81.85(1)°, V = 1323.2(2) ų, Z = 1. The crystal structure consists of dinuclear [Cu₂(H₂O)₂(phen)₂(OH)₂]²⁺ complex cations, dinuclear [Cu₂(phen)₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂]^2– complex anions and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. In both the centrosymmetric dinuclear cation and anion, the Cu atoms are coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand, three O atoms of two μ‐OH groups and respectively one H₂O molecule or one CO₃^2– anion to complete distorted [CuN₂O₃] square‐pyramids with the H₂O molecule or the CO₃^2– anion at the apical position (equatorial d(Cu–O) = 1.939–1.961 Å, d(Cu–N) = 2.026–2.051 Å and axial d(Cu–O) = 2.194, 2.252 Å). Two adjacent [CuN₂O₃] square pyramids are condensed via two μ‐OH groups. Through the interionic hydrogen bonds, the dinuclear cations and anions are linked into 1D chains with parallel phen ligands on both sides. Interdigitation of phen ligands of neighboring 1D chains generated 2D layers, between which the hydrogen bonded water molecules are sandwiched.     

Präparation,Kristallstruktur und thermisches Verhalten der Quecksilber(I)phosphate α-(Hg2)3(PO4)2, β-(Hg2)3(PO4)2 und (Hg2)2P2O7

Contributions on Crystal Structures and Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. XXIII. Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Behaviour of the Mercury(I) Phosphates α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂, β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂, and (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ Light-yellow single crystals of (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ have been obtained via chemical vapour transport in a temperature gradient (500 °C → 450 °C, 23 d) using Hg₂Cl₂ as transport agent. Characteristic feature of the crystal structure (P2/n, Z = 2, a = 9,186(1), b = 4,902(1), c = 9,484(1) Å, β = 98,82(2)°, 1228 independent of 5004 reflections, R(F) = 0,066 for 61 variables, 7 atoms in the asymmetric unit) are Hg₂²⁺-units with d(Hg1–Hg1) = 2,508 Å and d(Hg2–Hg2) = 2,519 Å. The dumbbells Hg₂²⁺ are coordinated by oxygen, thus forming polyhedra [(Hg1₂)O₄] and [(Hg2₂)O₆]. These polyhedra share some oxygen atoms. In addition they are linked by the diphosphate anion P₂O₇^4– (ecliptic conformation; ∠(P,O,P) = 129°) to built up the 3-dimensional structure. Under hydrothermal conditions (T = 400 °C) orange single crystals of the mercury(I) orthophosphates α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ and β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ have been obtained from (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ and H₃PO₄ (c = 1%). The crystal structures of both modifications have been refined from X-ray single crystal data [α-form (β-form): P2₁/c (P2₁/n), Z = 2 (2), a = 8,576(3) (7,869(3)), b = 4,956(1) (8,059(3)), c = 15,436(3) (9,217(4)) Å, β = 128,16(3) (108,76(4))°, 1218 (1602) independent reflections of 4339 (6358) reflections, R(F) = 0,039 (0,048) for 74 (74) variables, 8 (8) atoms in the asymmetric unit]. In the structure of α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ three crystallographically independent mercury atoms, located in two independent dumbbells, are coordinated by three oxygen atoms each. Thus, [(Hg₂)O₆] dimers with a strongly distorted tetrahedral coordination of all mercury atoms are formed. Such dimers are present besides [(Hg₂)O₅]-polyhedra in the less dense crystal structure of β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ (d(Hg–Hg) = 2,518 Å). The mercury(I) phosphates are thermally labile and disproportionate between 200 °C (β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂) and 480 °C (α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂) to elemental mercury and the corresponding mercury(II) phosphate.     

Kristallstrukturen der iso‐Thiocyanatoberyllate (Ph4P)2[Be(NCS)4] und (Ph4P)4[{Be2(NCS)4(μ‐NCS)2}{Be2(NCS)6(μ‐H2N2C2S2)}]

Bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) hexachloridodiberyllate, (Ph₄P)₂[Be₂Cl₆], reacts with excess trimethylsilyl‐iso‐thiocyanate to give a mixture of colourless single crystals of (Ph₄P)₂[Be(NCS)₄] ( 1 ) and (Ph₄P)₄[{Be₂(NCS)₄(μ‐NCS)₂}{Be₂(NCS)₆(μ‐H₂N₂C₂S₂)}] ( 2 ), which can be separated by selection. Both complexes were characterized by X‐ray diffraction. Compound 1 can be prepared without by‐products by treatment of (Ph₄P)₂[BeCl₄] with excess Me₃SiNCS in dichloromethane solution. 1 : Space group I4₁/a, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 100(2) K: a = b = 1091.2(1), c = 3937.1(3) pm, R₁ = 0.0474. The [Be(NCS)₄]^2– ion of 1 forms tetragonally distorted tetrahedral anions with Be–N distances of 168.4(2) pm and weak intermolecular S ··· S contacts along [100] and [010]. 2 ·4CH₂Cl₂: Space group P , Z = 1, lattice dimensions at 100(2) K: a = 919.5(1), b = 1248.3(1), c = 2707.0(2) pm, α = 101.61(1) °, β = 95.08(1) °, γ = 94.52(1) °, R₁ = 0.103. Compound 2 contains two different anionic complexes in the ratio 1:1. In {Be₂(NCS)₄(μ‐NCS)₂}^2–, the beryllium atoms are connected by (NCS)^– bridging groups forming centrosymmetric eight‐membered Be₂(NCS)₂ rings with distances Be–N of 168(1) pm and Be–S of 235.2(9) pm. The second anion {Be₂(NCS)₆(μ‐H₂N₂C₂S₂)}^2– consists of two {Be(NCS)₃}^– units, which are linked by the nitrogen atoms of the unique dimeric cyclo‐addition product of HNCS with Be–N distances of 179(1) pm.     

Molecular Assemblies Containing Unsupported [Fe(III)-(&mgr;(2):eta(2)-RCO(2))-Cu(II)] Bridges

Formate is an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidases and also effects conversion of the bovine heart enzyme from the "fast" to the "slow" cyanide-binding form. The molecular basis of these effects is unknown; one possibility is that formate inserts as a bridge into the binuclear heme a(3)-Cu(B) site, impeding the binding of dioxygen or cyanide. Consequently, Fe-Cu-carboxylate interactions are a matter of current interest. We have initiated an examination of such interactions by the synthesis of the first examples of [Fe(III)-(&mgr;(2):eta(2)-RCO(2))-Cu(II)] bridges, minimally represented by Fe(III)-L + Cu(II)-O(2)CR --> [Fe(III)-(RCO(2))-Cu(II)] + L. A series of Cu(II) precursor complexes and solvate forms have been prepared and their structures determined, including [Cu(Me(5)dien)(O(2)CH)](+) (3), [Cu(Me(5)dien)(O(2)CH)(MeOH)](+) (4), [Cu(Me(6)tren)(O(2)CH)](+) (5), and [Cu(Me(5)dien)(OAc)](+) (6). [4](ClO(4)) was obtained in monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 8.166(3) ?, b = 15.119(5) ?, c = 15.070(4) ?, beta = 104.65(2) degrees, and Z = 4. [5](ClO(4))/[6](ClO(4)) crystallize in orthorhombic space groups Pnma/Pna2(1) with a = 16.788(2)/14.928(5) ?, b = 9.542(1)/9.341(4) ?, c = 12.911(1)/12.554(4) ?, and Z = 4/4. In all cases, the carboxylate ligand is terminal and is bound in a syn orientation. Also prepared for the purpose of structural comparison was [Fe(OEP)(O(2)CH)], which occurred in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 13.342(2) ?, b = 13.621(2) ?, c = 19.333(2) ?, beta = 106.12(2) degrees, and Z = 4. The desired bridges were stabilized in the assemblies [(OEP)Fe(O(2)CH)Cu(Me(5)dien)(OClO(3))](+) (9), [(OEP)Fe(OAc)Cu(Me(5)dien)](2+) (10), and {(OEP)Fe[(O(2)CH)Cu(Me(6)tren)](2)}(3+) (11), which were prepared by the reaction of 3, 6, and 5, respectively, with [Fe(OEP)(OClO(3))] in acetone or dichloromethane. [9](ClO(4))/[10](ClO(4))(2).CH(2)Cl(2) crystallize in triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 9.016(3)/13.777(3) ?, b = 15.377(5)/13.847(3) ?, c = 19.253(5)/17.608(4) ?, alpha = 78.12(3)/96.82(3) degrees, beta = 86.30(4)/108.06(3) degrees, gamma = 76.23(3)/114.32(3) degrees, and Z = 2/2. Each assembly contains a [Fe(III)-(RCO(2))-Cu(II)] bridge but with the differing orientations anti-anti (9) and syn-anti (10, 11). The compound [11](ClO(4))(2)(SbF(6)) occurs in orthorhombic space group Pbcn with a = 12.517(6) ?, b = 29.45(1) ?, c = 21.569(8) ?, and Z = 4. Complex 11 is trinuclear; the Fe(III) site has two axial formate ligands with bond distances indicative of a high-spin configuration. Structural features of 9-11 are discussed and are considered in relation to the possible insertion of formate into the binuclear sites of two oxidases whose structures were recently determined. The present results contribute to the series of molecular assemblies with the bridge groups [Fe(III)-X-Cu(II)], X = O(2)(-), OH(-), and RCO(2)(-), all with a common high-spin heme, thereby allowing an examination of electronic structure as dependent on the bridging atom or group and bridge structure. (Me(5)dien = 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine; Me(6)tren = tris(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amine; OEP = octaethylporphyrinate(2-).)     

(2‐Amino­ethoxy)­bis(2‐thienyl)­boron

In the five‐membered ring in the title compound, (2‐amino­ethoxy)­bis(2‐thienyl)­boron, C₁₀H₁₂BNOS_2, the B atom is four‐coordinate with dimensions N—B 1.654 (3), O—B 1.479 (3), and C—B 1.606 (3) and 1.609 (3) Å. An intermolecular hydrogen bond between an amino H atom and the ethoxy O atom links the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the a axis. Only one of the two amino H atoms is involved in hydrogen bonding because there is only the one acceptor atom, the ethoxy O atom, and the molecular geometry precludes formation of a second hydrogen bond by the second amino H atom.     

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Structural Studies of Bis(&mgr;-sulfido)bis[{O,O-dialkyl (alkylene) dithiophosphato}oxomolybdenum(V)] Complexes. Crystal Structures of Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)](2), Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)](2).2NC(5)H(5), and Mo(2)O(3)[S(2)P(OPh)(2)](4)

A series of new complexes, Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OR)(2)](2) (where R = Et, n-Pr, i-Pr) and Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)POGO](2) (where G = -CH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)-, -CMe(2)CMe(2)-) have been prepared by the dropwise addition of an ethanolic solution of the ammonium or sodium salt of the appropriate O,O-dialkyl or -alkylene dithiophosphoric acid, or the acid itself, to a hot aqueous solution of molybdenum(V) pentachloride. The complexes were also formed by heating solutions of Mo(2)O(3)[S(2)P(OR)(2)](4) or Mo(2)O(3)[S(2)POGO](4) species in glacial acetic acid. The Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OR)(2)](2) and Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)POGO](2) compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P NMR, and infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as were the 1:2 adducts formed on reaction with pyridine. The crystal structures of Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt(2))](2), Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)](2).2NC(5)H(5), and Mo(2)O(3)[S(2)P(OPh)(2)](4) were determined. Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)](2) (1) crystallizes in space group C2/c, No. 15, with cell parameters a = 15.644(3) ?, b = 8.339(2) ?, c = 18.269(4) ?, beta = 103.70(2) degrees, V = 2315.4(8) ?(3), Z = 4, R = 0.0439, and R(w) = 0.0353. Mo(2)O(2)S(2)[S(2)P(OEt)(2)](2).2NC(5)H(5) (6) crystallizes in space group P&onemacr;, No. 2, with the cell parameters a = 12.663(4) ?,b = 14.291(5) ?, c = 9.349(3) ?, alpha = 100.04(3) degrees, beta = 100.67(3) degrees, gamma = 73.03(3) degrees V = 1557(1) ?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.0593, and R(w) = 0.0535. Mo(2)O(3)[S(2)P(OPh)(2)](4) (8) crystallizes in space group P2(1)/n, No. 14, with cell parameters a = 15.206(2)?, b = 10.655(3)?, c = 19.406(3)?, beta = 111.67(1) degrees, V = 2921(1)?(3), Z = 2, R = 0.0518, R(w) = 0.0425. The immediate environment about the molybdenum atoms in 1 is essentially square pyramidal if the Mo-Mo interaction is ignored. The vacant positions in the square pyramids are occupied by two pyridine molecules in 6, resulting in an octahedral environment with very long Mo-N bonds. The terminal oxygen atoms in both 1 and 6 are in the syn conformation. In 8, which also has a distorted octahedral environment about molybdenum, two of the dithiophosphate groups are bidentate as in 1 and 6, but the two others have one normal Mo-S bond and one unusually long Mo-S bond.     

Azidokomplexe von Vanadium(IV) und Vanadium(V): (Ph4P)2[VOCl2(μ‐N3)]2 und (Ph4P)2[VOCl(μ‐N3)(N3)2]2

Azido Complexes of Vanadium(IV) and Vanadium(V): (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂ and (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂ ( 1 ) was prepared by reaction of (Ph₄P)[VO₂Cl₂] with trimethylsilylazide in the molar ratio 1:2 in dichloromethane solution to give dark green, moisture sensitive, non‐explosive single crystals. The reaction is accompanied by the formation of the dark blue side‐product (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ ( 2a ), which can be obtained as the main product by application of a large excess of Me₃SiN₃. Dark blue needles of 2a crystallize spontaneously from the CH₂Cl₂ solution within one hour at 4 °C. After standing at 4 °C under its mother liquid within 24 hours a first‐order phase transition of 2a occurs forming dark blue prismatic single crystals of 2b . According to single crystal X‐ray structure determinations, 2a and 2b crystallize in the same type of space group , however, with different lattice dimensions. The vanadium(IV) complex 1 is characterized by X‐ray structure determination and by vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) as well as by EPR spectroscopy, whereas 2b is characterized by IR spectroscopy. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 1009.5(1), b = 1226.6(2), c = 1943.0(2) pm, β = 98.42(1)°, R₁ = 0.0672. The complex anion forms centrosymmetric units with V₂N₂‐four‐membered rings with a V···V distance of 335.6(1) pm and coordination number five on the vanadium(IV) atoms. 2a : Space group , Z = 1, a = 1089.0(2), b = 1097.1(2), c = 1310.1(2) pm, α = 92.99(1)°, β = 106.12(2)°, γ = 117.05(2)°, V = 1309.8(4) ų, d_calc. = 1.440 g·cm^?3, R₁ = 0.0384. The complex anion forms centrosymmetric units of symmetry C_i with V₂N₂ four‐membered rings and VN bond lengths of 200.4(3) and 234.4(2) pm, respectively. The non‐bonding V···V distance amounts to 356.2(1) pm. 2b : Space group , Z = 1, a = 1037.3(2), b = 1157.6(2), c = 1177.2(2) pm, α = 98.48(2)°, ° = 103.82(2)°, γ = 106.33(2)°, V = 1281.8(4) ų, d_calc. = 1.471 g·cm^?3, R₁ = 0.0724. The structure of the complex anion is similar to the anion of 2a with VN bond lengths of the four‐membered V₂N₂ ring of 203.3(4) and 235.2(4) pm, respectively, and a non‐bonding V···V distance of 357.5(1) pm.     

Synthesis,Structural Characterization and Thermal Stability of [Mn(3‐bpd)2(NCS)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (1) and {[Mn(bpe)(NCS)2(H2O)2]·(3‐bpd)·(bpe)·H2O}n (2) from One‐Pot Crystallization

Two supramolecular architectures, [Mn(3‐bpd)₂(NCS)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and {[Mn(bpe)(NCS)₂(H₂O)₂]·(3‐bpd)·(bpe)·H₂O}_n ( 2 ) [bpe = 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene and 3‐bpd = 1,4‐bis(3‐pyridyl)‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene] have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic, elemental and single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with chemical formula C₂₆H₂₈Mn N₁₀O₄S₂, a = 9.1360(6), b = 9.7490(6), c = 17.776(1) Å, β = 93.212(1)°, and Z = 2 while compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2₁2₁2₁, with chemical formula C₃₈H₃₆Mn₁N₁₀O₃S₂, a = 14.1902(6), b = 15.4569(7), c = 18.2838(8) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, and Z = 4. Structural determination reveals that the coordination geometry at Mn(II) in compound 1 or 2 is a distorted octahedral which consists of two nitrogen donors of two NCS^?ligands, two oxygen donors of two water molecules, and two nitrogen donors of two 3‐bpd ligands for 1 and two dpe ligands for 2 , respectively. The two 3‐bpd ligands in 1 adopt a monodentate binding mode and the dpe in 2 adopts a bismonodentate bridging mode to connect the Mn(II) ions forming a 1D chain‐like coordination polymer. Both the π‐π stacking interactions between the coordinated and the free pyridyl‐based ligands and intermolecular hydrogen bonds among the coordinated and the crystallized water molecules and the free pyridyl‐based ligands play an important role in construction of these 3D supramolecular architectures.

Fe? P in 2, 3 , and 4 , respectively) to 129.0, 129.9, and 133.6° (angle S? Fe? S in 2, 3 , and 4 , respectively).     

Bis(N‐acetyltriethylphosphaniminium)‐tetraacetato‐dichloro‐dicuprat(II), [MeC(O)N(H)PEt3]2[Cu2(O2C–Me)4Cl2]

Bis(N‐acetyltriethylphosphaneiminium)‐tetraacetato‐dichloro‐dicuprate(II), [MeC(O)N(H)PEt₃]₂[Cu₂(O₂C–Me)₄Cl₂] The title compound has been prepared by the reaction of Me₃SiNPEt₃ with [Cu₂(O₂C–Me)₄] and MeC(O)Cl in dichloromethane solution to give colourless crystals which include four molecules CH₂Cl₂ per formula unit.

The structure consists of N‐acetyltriethylphosphaneiminium cations and dianions [Cu₂(O₂C–Me)₄Cl₂]^2– which form an iontriple with N–H…Cl hydrogen bridges.

The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is stabilized by one N—H⋯O and three N—H⋯Cl inter­actions, and the three‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds stabilizes the crystal packing. All five hydrazinium H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonds to Cl⁻ anions. The Cl⋯H contact distances range from 2.122 (15) to 2.809 (14) Å.

Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c. 1 and 2 are isotypic with the unit cell parameters a = 8.634(9), b = 13.541(14), c = 21.99(2) Å, β = 94.806(18)°, and V = 2562(5) ų for 1 , a = 8.617(3) Å, b = 13.629(5)Å, c = 21.598(8)Å, β = 94.593(6)°, and V = 2528.4(15)ų for 2 , and Z = 4 for both. According to X‐ray crystallographic studies, each metal(II) ion was six‐coordinated with four nitrogen atoms from two bidentate hdpa ligand and two nitrogen atoms from two N(CN)^— anions to form slightly distorted octahedrons. Adjacent complex molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds or π···π interactions to form three‐dimensional network. The IR and UV spectroscopy were measured and the magnetic behaviors were investigated.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of diorganotin heterocyclic dithiocarbamate complexes and crystal structures of (2‐F‐Bz)2Sn(Cl) S2CN(CH2CH2)2NEt and (3‐Cl‐Bz)2Sn [S2CN(CH2CH2)2NEt]2 ⋅ 0.5HN(CH2CH2)2NH

Some new diorganotin(IV) complexes of heterocyclic dithiocarbamate having general formula R₂Sn(Cl)S₂CNR'₂ and R₂Sn(S₂CNR'₂)₂ [R = 2‐F‐Bz, 3‐Cl‐Bz; NR'₂ = N(CH₂CH₂)₂NMe, N(CH₂CH₂)₂NEt, and N(CH₂CH₂)₂NBz] have been prepared, respectively. Elemental analyses, IR, and NMR spectral data characterized all compounds. The crystal structures of (2‐F‐Bz)₂Sn(Cl)S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NEt 2 and (3‐Cl‐Bz)₂Sn[S₂CN(CH₂CH₂)₂NEt]₂ ⋅ 0.5 HN(CH₂CH₂)₂NH 5 were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffractometer. In the crystal of complex 2 , the tin atom is rendered five‐coordination in a trigonal bipyramidal configuration by coordinating with S atoms of dithiocarbamate groups. For complex 5 , the central Sn atom exists in a skew‐trapezoidal planar geometry defined by two asymmetrically coordinated dithiocarbamate ligands and two 3‐chlorobenzyl groups. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 16:271–277, 2005; Published online in Wiley InterScience ( www.interscience.wiley.com ).

Trans‐bis(saccharinato)cadmium(II) Complexes with 2‐Aminomethylpyridine and 2‐Aminoethylpyridine — Synthesis,Crystal Structures,Spectral and Thermal Characterization of trans‐[Cd(sac)2(ampy)2] and trans‐[Cd(sac)2(aepy)2]

Two trans‐bis(saccharinato) (sac) complexes of cadmium(II ) with 2‐aminomethylpyridine (ampy) and 2‐aminoethylpyridine (aepy) were synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. In addition, their solid‐state structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. The [Cd(sac)₂(ampy)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cd(sac)₂(aepy)] ( 2 ) complexes consist of neutral monomeric units and crystallize in the orthorhombic (Pbca) and monoclinic (P2₁/c) crystal systems, respectively. The cadmium(II ) ions in 1 and 2 sit on inversion centres andexhibit distorted octahedral coordination by two sac anions and two aminopyridine ligands. The sac ligands in both complexes are N‐coordinated and located in trans positions, while the ampy and aepy ligands act as a bidentate ligand forming two symmetrically chelate rings around cadmium(II ). IR spectra and thermal decompositions of the complexes are also discussed.     

Oxovanadium(IV,V) Complexes with 2‐Acetylpyridine‐2‐furanoylhydrazone (Hapf) as Ligand. X‐Ray Crystal Structures of [VO2(apf)] and [V2O2(μ‐O)2(apf)2]

The preparation of oxovanadium(IV, V) coordination compounds with 2‐acetylpyridine‐2‐furanoylhydrazone (Hapf) is described. [VO(apf)(acac)] was prepared from oxovanadium(IV) diacetylacetonate [VO(acac)₂] by reaction with Hapf in methanol or dichloromethane. The complex is paramagnetic and its EPR spectrum is consistent with an octahedral coordination for the vanadium(IV) atom. Voltammetry studies of [VO(apf)(acac)] indicate an irreversible oxidation, in agreement with the chemical behavior of the compound in solution. The vanadium(IV) complex undergoes slow oxidation in alcoholic solution, losing the acetylacetonate ligand to form [VO₂(apf)] and [V₂O₂(μ‐O)₂(apf)₂]. The crystal structures of these last compounds were determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. [V₂O₂(μ‐O)₂(apf)₂] crystallizes monoclinic [P2₁/c, Z = 2, a = 817.400(10), b = 1650.90(3), c = 984.70(2) pm, β = 112.7190(10)°]. The crystal structure consists of dimeric units, in which two μ‐oxo ligands subtend asymmetric bridges between the vanadium atoms in a very distorted octahedral coordination. In the crystal of [VO₂(apf)], orthorhombic [Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1630.000(10), b = 675.10(4), c = 1136.40(2) pm], the vanadium(V) atom is pentacoordinated.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Pentafluorethylkupfer(I)‐ und ‐(III)‐Verbindungen: Cu(C2F5) · D, [Cu(C2F5)2]– und (C2F5)2CuSC(S)N(C2H5)2

Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylcopper(I) and ‐copper(III) Compounds: CuC₂F₅ · D, [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–, and (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ The reactions of Cd(C₂F₅)₂ · D and Zn(C₂F₅)₂ · D (D = 2 CH₃CN, 2 DMF), respectively, with copper(I) halides in the presence of halides quantitatively yield the CuC₂F₅ compounds CuC₂F₅ · D and [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–. The CuC₂F₅ complexes are identified by NMR spectroscopy, while [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– is isolated as PNP salt (PNP = (C₆H₅)₃PNP(C₆H₅)₃⁺). Both compounds are excellent C₂F₅ group transfer reagents, even at low temperature. Oxidation of [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– with [(C₂H₅)₂NC(S)S]₂ yields the crystalline Cu(III) compound (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ (monoclinic, C2/c).     

Germanium(II) pseudohalides: Ge(CN)2, Ge(NCO)2 and Ge(NCS)2; syntheses and reactivities

The hitherto unknown germanium(II) pseudohalides: Ge(CN)₂, Ge(NCO)₂ and Ge(NCS)₂, have been prepared by reactions of germanium(II) halides with corresponding silver or potassium salts; they are stable in tetrahydrofuran or acetone solution in which they are extremely sensitive to moisture, and they undergo cycloaddition, insertion, and Lewis acid-base reactions characteristic of highly reactive germylenes. Infrared spectra indicate that in tetrahydrofuran solution Ge(CN)₂ is the normal cyanide, whereas Ge(NCO)₂ and Ge(NCS)₂ are the isocyanate and isothiocyanate, respectively.     

Modeling the Formation of Molybdenum Oxides from Alkoxides: Crystal Structures of [Mo(4)O(4)Cl(4)(&mgr;(2)-OEt)(4)(HOEt)(2)(&mgr;(3)-O)(2)] and [PPN](+)[Et(3)NH](+)[Cl(2)(O)Mo(&mgr;(2)-O)(2)Mo(O)Cl(2)](2)(-)

The reactions of the binuclear oxomolybdenum(V) complex [Cl(2)(O)Mo(&mgr;-OEt)(2)(&mgr;-HOEt)Mo(O)Cl(2)] (1) with Me(3)Si(allyl) and SbF(3) produce the compounds [Mo(6)O(6)Cl(6)(&mgr;(3)-O)(2)(&mgr;(2)-OEt)(6)(&mgr;(2)-Cl)(2)] (2) and [Mo(8)O(8)Cl(6)(&mgr;(3)-O)(4)(OH)(2)(&mgr;(2)-OH)(4)(&mgr;(2)-OEt)(4)(HOEt)(4)] (3), respectively. Treatment of 1 with the Lewis base PMe(3) affords the tetrameric complex [Mo(4)O(4)Cl(4)(&mgr;(2)-OEt)(4)(HOEt)(2)(&mgr;(3)-O)(2)] (4), which represents another link in the chain of clusters produced by the reactions of 1 and simulating the build-up of polymeric molybdenum oxides by sol-gel methods. The crystal structure of 4 has been determined [C(12)H(32)Cl(4)Mo(4)O(12), triclinic, P&onemacr;, a = 7.376(2) ?, b = 8.807(3) ?, c = 11.467(4) ?, alpha = 109.61(1) degrees, beta = 92.12(3) degrees, gamma = 103.75(2) degrees, Z = 1]. By contrast, reaction of 1 with the nitrogen base NEt(3), followed by treatment with [PPN]Cl.2H(2)O ([PPN](+) = [Ph(3)P=N=PPh(3)](+)), gives the complex [PPN](+)[Et(3)NH](+)[Cl(2)(O)Mo(&mgr;(2)-O)(2)Mo(O)Cl(2)](2)(-) (6) in 90% yield. Its crystal structure [C(36)H(30)Cl(4)MoNOP(2), triclinic, Pna2(1), a = 21.470(6) ?, b = 16.765(2) ?, c = 9.6155(14) ?, alpha = 90 degrees, beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 16] includes the anion [Cl(2)(O)Mo(&mgr;(2)-O)(2)Mo(O)Cl(2)](2)(-), which is a charged derivative of the species forming the gels in sol-gel processes starting from chloromolybdenum ethoxides. Furthermore, compound 1 is found to be catalytically active in esterification and dehydration reactions of alcohols.
