The Borosulfates K4[BS4O15(OH)], Ba[B2S3O13], and Gd2[B2S6O24]

K₄[BS₄O₁₅(OH)], Ba[B₂S₃O₁₃], and Gd₂[B₂S₆O₂₄] were obtained by a new synthetic approach. The strategy involves initially synthesizing the complex acid H[B(HSO₄)₄] which is subsequently reacted in an open system with anhydrous chlorides of K, Ba, and Gd to the respective borosulfates and a volatile molecule (HCl). Furthermore, protonated borosulfates should be accessible by appropriate stoichiometry of the starting materials, particularly in closed systems, which inhibit deprotonation of H[B(HSO₄)₄] via condensation and dehydration. This approach led to the successful synthesis of the first divalent and trivalent metal borosulfates (Ba[B₂S₃O₁₃] with band‐silicate topology and Gd₂[B₂S₆O₂₄] with cyclosilicate topology) and the first hydrogen borosulfate K₄[BS₄O₁₅(OH)].     

Sm4S3[Si2O7] und NaSm9S2[SiO4]6: Zwei Sulfidsilicate mit dreiwertigem Samarium

Sm₄S₃[Si₂O₇] and NaSm₉S₂[SiO₄]₆: Two Sulfide Silicates with Trivalent Samarium The sulfide silicates Sm₄S₃[Si₂O₇] and NaSm₉S₂[SiO₄]₆ are obtained as light yellow transparent crystals by the reaction of Sm, Sm₂O₃, S, and SiO₂ with fluxing SmCl₃ or NaCl, respectively, in suitable molar ratios in fused evacuated silica tubes (850 °C, 7 d). Tetragonal crystals of Sm₄S₃[Si₂O₇] (I4₁/amd; Z = 8; a = 1186.4(1); c = 1387.0(2) pm) with ecliptically conformed [Si₂O₇]^6–‐groups of corner sharing [SiO₄]‐tetrahedra are formed. These double tetrahedra as well the sulfide anions (S^2–) coordinate two crystallographically independent metal cations. They provide coordination numbers of 8 + 1 (5 S^2– and 3 + 1 O^2–) for Sm1 and 9 (3 S^2– and 6 O^2–) for Sm2. NaSm₉S₂[SiO₄]₆ crystallizes hexagonally (P6₃/m; Z = 1; a = 975.32(9); c = 676.46(7) pm) in a modified bromapatite‐type structure. The coordination spheres about the two crystallographically different Sm³⁺ cations are built up by oxygen atoms of the orthosilicate units ([SiO₄]^4–) and sulfide anions (S^2–). As a result, Sm1 and Sm2 have coordination numbers of 9 and 8, respectively. Na⁺ and (Sm1)³⁺ occupy the position 4 f in a molar ratio of 1 : 3 whereas the lower coordinated (Sm2)³⁺ occupies the 6 h position.     

From Infinite Chains according to 1∞[Zr(S2O7)4/2] in Zr(S2O7)2 to the unprecedented [Zr(S2O7)4]4– Anion in Ag4[Zr(S2O7)4]

The reaction of ZrCl₄ with oleum (65 % SO₃) in the presence of Ag₂SO₄ at 250 °C yielded colorless single crystals of Zr(S₂O₇)₂ [orthorhombic, Pccn, Z = 4, a = 709.08(6) pm, b = 1442.2(2) pm, c = 942.23(9) pm, V = 963.5(2) × 10⁶ pm³]. Zr(S₂O₇)₂ shows Zr⁴⁺ ions in an eightfold distorted square antiprismatic coordination of oxygen atoms belonging to four chelating disulfate units. Each S₂O₇^2– ion is connected to a further Zr⁴⁺ ion leading to chains according to ¹_∞[Zr(S₂O₇)_4/2]. The same reaction at a temperature of 150 °C resulted in the formation of Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] [monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1829.35(9) pm, b = 704.37(3) pm, c = 1999.1(1) pm, β = 117.844(2)°, V = 2277.6(2) × 10⁶ pm³]. Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] exhibits the unprecedented [Zr(S₂O₇)₄]^4– anion, in which the central Zr⁴⁺ cation is coordinated by four chelating disulfate units. Thus, in Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] the ¹_∞[[Zr(S₂O₇)_4/2] chains observed in Zr(S₂O₇)₂ are formally cut into pieces by the implementation of Ag⁺ ions.     

Polycations Stabilised by Borosulfates: [Au3Cl4][B(S2O7)2] and the One-Dimensional Metal [Au2Cl4][B(S2O7)2](SO3)

(SO₄)-rich silicate analogue borosulfates are able to stabilise cationic cluster-like and chain-like aggregates. Single crystals of [Au₃Cl₄][B(S₂O₇)₂] and [Au₂Cl₄][B(S₂O₇)₂](SO₃) were obtained by solvothermal reaction with SO₃, and the electronic properties were investigated by means of density functional theory–based calculations. [Au₃Cl₄][B(S₂O₇)₂] exhibits a cluster-like cation, and the cationic gold-chloride strands in [Au₂Cl₄][B(S₂O₇)₂](SO₃) are found to resemble one-dimensional metallic wires. This is confirmed by polarisation microscopy.     

Spektroskopisches und thermisches Verhalten von K4H2[S2I2O14]

The infrared andRaman spectra of the tittle compound have been recorded and an assignment for the internal vibrations of the H₂S₂I₂O ₁₄ ^4– polyanion is proposed. The thermal behaviour was investigated using TG-, DTA-, IR- and X-ray methods; it is shown that the polyanion breaks down after the release of one mole of H₂O, generating a mixture of -K₂SO₄ and I₂O₅.

Na2[Pr4O2]Cl9 und K2[Pr4O2]Cl9, die ersten reduzierten quaternären Praseodymchloride mit anti-SiS2-analogen [Pr4/2O]-Ketten

Na₂[Pr₄O₂]Cl₉ and K₂[Pr₄O₂]Cl₉, the First Reduced Quaternary Praseodymium Chlorides with Anti-SiS₂ Analogous [Pr_4/2O] Chains The compounds A₂[Pr₄O₂]Cl₉ (A = Na, K) are the first reduced quaternary praseodymium chlorides with anti-SiS₂ analogous [Pr_4/2O] chains. Synthesis took place in the temperature range from 900 to 600°C in silica-jacketed niobium containers from Pr metal, PrCl₃, PrOCl and NaCl (KCl) as starting materials. The X-ray structure analysis of a single crystal of Na₂[Pr₄O₂]Cl₉ (monoclinic, P2₁/m (No. 11), Z = 2, a = 812.2(2) pm, b = 1 134.1(2) pm, c = 937.6(2) pm, β = 106.51(2)°, R = 0.048, R_w = 0.037) exhibits trans-edge connected chains of [Pr_4/2O] tetrahedra running along [001] which are connected by surrounding common chloride ions forming layers parallel to (001). These layers are connected by further chloride ions to a three-dimensional network. The sodium ions surrounded by a heavily distorted octahedron of chloride ions are placed between the layers. The X-ray structure analysis of a single crystal of the otherwise isotypic K₂[Pr₄O₂]Cl₉ (monoclinic, P2₁/m (No. 11), Z = 2, a = 820.6(2) pm, b = 1 133.2(4) pm, c = 949.2(3) pm, β = 103.94(2)°, R = 0.073, R_w = 0.054) shows that potassium is coordinated by nine chloride ions.

Reactions of synthetic [2Fe-2S] and [4Fe-4S] clusters with nitric oxide and nitrosothiols

The interaction of nitric oxide (NO) with iron-sulfur cluster proteins results in degradation and breakdown of the cluster to generate dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs). In some cases the formation of DNICs from such cluster systems can lead to activation of a regulatory pathway or the loss of enzyme activity. In order to understand the basic chemistry underlying these processes, we have investigated the reactions of NO with synthetic [2Fe-2S] and [4Fe-4S] clusters. Reaction of excess NO(g) with solutions of [Fe2S2(SR)4](2-) (R = Ph, p-tolyl (4-MeC6H4), or 1/2 (CH2)2-o-C6H4) cleanly affords the respective DNIC, [Fe(NO)2(SR)2](-), with concomitant reductive elimination of the bridging sulfide ligands as elemental sulfur. The structure of (Et4N)[Fe(NO)2(S-p-tolyl)2] was verified by X-ray crystallography. Reactions of the [4Fe-4S] clusters, [Fe4S4(SR)4](2-) (R = Ph, CH2Ph, (t)Bu, or 1/2 (CH2)-m-C6H4) proceed in the absence of added thiolate to yield Roussin's black salt, [Fe4S3(NO)7](-). In contrast, (Et4N)2[Fe4S4(SPh)4] reacts with NO(g) in the presence of 4 equiv of (Et4N)(SPh) to yield the expected DNIC. For all reactions, we could reproduce the chemistry effected by NO(g) with the use of trityl-S-nitrosothiol (Ph3CSNO) as the nitric oxide source. These results demonstrate possible pathways for the reaction of iron-sulfur clusters with nitric oxide in biological systems and highlight the importance of thiolate-to-iron ratios in stabilizing DNICs.

Treatment of iodide-bridged dimer [NEt4] 4[Mo2O2S6Cu6I4Br2] 1 with 3, 5-bimethylpyridine or with K[(Ph2PS) 2N] in CH3CN afforded the tetranuclear cluster [MoOS3Cu3I(3,5-diMePy)4]·CH3CN 2 and dodecanuclear cluster (Et4N)4[Mo4Cu8O4S12{(Ph2PS)2N}4] 3. Monomeric 2 possess a nest-shaped skeleton.The structure of oligomeric 3 can be regarded as a tetramer of nest-shaped MoCu3OS3[(Ph2PS)aN]groups co-polymerized by sharing the limbic Cu atoms.
