The complex cis-[Mo₂(HDpyF)₂(CH₃CN)₄](BF₄)₄, 1, was prepared by the reaction of Mo₂(DpyF)₄ with HBF₄ in CH₃CN, in which new bonding mode of the HDpyF ligand and axial N–H···Mo interactions are observed. Reaction of 1 with pyridine afforded the complex trans-[Mo₂(DpyF)₂(py)₄](BF₄)₂, 2. In complex 1, the neutral bidentate HDpyF ligands bridge the metal centers through one of the amine nitrogen atoms and the adjacent pyridyl nitrogen atom, resulting in the s-trans-anti-s-trans conformation. The anionic DpyF⁻ ligands of 2 adopt the s-trans,s-trans conformation and are coordinated to the Mo centers in bidentate fashions through the two central nitrogen atoms and the two terminal nitrogen atoms are not coordinated. Dedicated to the memory of Professor F. A. Cotton, a great mentor and friend.

Crystal structures of barium bis(iminodiacetato)cobaltates(III): [Ba(H2O)6][Co(Ida)2]2 · H2O and Ba4(H2O)14][Co(Ida)2]5(ClO4)3 · 5.46H2O · 2CH3OH

The structures of the crystals of Ba₄[trans(N)-Co(Ida)₂]₃[cis-(N)-Co(Ida)₂]₂(ClO₄)₃ · 19.46H₂O · 2CH₃OH (I) and Ba[trans-(N)-Co(Ida)₂]₂ · 7H₂O (II) (H₂Ida is iminodiacetic acid) were determin by X-ray diffraction. The crystals of I containing two geometric isomers of the complex anions [Co(Ida)₂]⁻ were obtained by a slow cooling of a hot solution, which contained initially only the cis-isomer. One Ba atom in I interacts with the trans-complex and with two cis-complexes to give a three-dimensional framework in crystal I. The positive charge of the last framework is compensated by one more trans-complex and by the perchlorate ions, one of which acts as a bidentate ligand with respect to the Ba atom. The crystals of II are built of the chains with the alternating Ba atoms and the trans-(N)-[Co(Ida)₂]⁻ anions. The other anions of the same structure are each “suspended” to the Ba atoms of the chain. Original Russian Text ? M. Zabel, A.I. Poznyak, V.I.

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.     

Two novel organic amine templated lanthanide sulfates: Layer H3DETA · [Nd(H2O)(SO4)3] and chain-like H3DETA · [Ho(H2O)2(SO4)3]

Two novel organic amine templated lanthanide sulfates, layer (H₃DETA)[Nd(H₂O)(SO₄)₃] (I) and chain-like (H₃DETA)[Ho(H₂O)₂(SO₄)₃] (II), are hydrothermally synthesized by using diethylenetriamine (DETA) as template, and are structurally characterized by ICP, elemental analysis, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, IR, and TG. Compound I is monoclinic with space group P2₁ and data of unit cell: a = 6.6518(13), b = 10.373(2), c = 11.091(2) ?, β = 93.61(3)°, V = 763.7(3) ?³, ρ _c = 2.421 g/cm³, μ(MoK _α) = 3.885 mm⁻¹, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0194 for 3312 reflections with F _o > 2σ(F _o). The Nd ions are nine-coordinated by one oxygen atom of coordinated water and eight oxygen atoms of sulfates. Compound I displays the layer structure constructed by linking Nd ions with three-linkage SO₄ tetrahedra as the bridge (affording one coordinated vertex and coordinated edge). Compound II crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell data: a = 6.594(13) ?, b = 14.783(3) ?, c = 16.599(3) ?, β = 93.47(3)°, V = 1614.2(6) ?³, ρ _c = 2.454 g/cm³, μ(MoK _α) = 5.37 mm⁻¹, Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0259 for 1815 reflections with F _o > 2σ(F _o). The Ho ions are eight-coordinated by two oxygen atoms of coordinated water and six oxygen atoms of sulfates. The straight chain-like structure of II is attained by alternatively arranging HoO₈ polyhedra and two-linkage SO₄ tetrahedra (affording two coordinated vertices). The TG results indicate that the two compounds experience three weight losses and lead to distinct residues: Nd₂O₃ for I and HoO(SO₄)_0.5 for II.

The uranium-containing chains are joined into a three-dimensional framework due to a system of electrostatic interactions with the cesium or ammonium ions in the structure of I. In the structure of II, this framework is additionally stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving the outer-sphere water molecules and ammonium ions. Original Russian Text ? I.V. Medrish, A.V.
