Niobium Alcoholate Clusters with an Octahedral Arrangement of Metal Atoms: [K(CH3OH)4]2 [Nb6(OCH3)18] and [Na([18]crown‐6)(C2H5OH)2]2 [Nb6(OC2H5)12(NCS)6]

Complete exchange : [M₆X₁₂] type cluster compounds with an octahedral M₆ metal atom arrangement, which is completely surrounded by alcoholato ligands, were unknown until now. The first representatives are prepared containing a [Nb₆(OR)₁₂]⁴⁺ unit (R=CH₃ or C₂H₅). They are accessible at elevated temperatures from strongly basic alcoholate solutions of [Nb₆Cl₁₂]²⁺‐containing precursors. C gray, H white, K turquoise, Nb blue, O red.

     

Triangular Nickel Complexes Derived from 2‐Pyridylcyanoxime: An Approach to the Magnetic Properties of the [Ni3(μ3‐OH){pyC(R)NO}3]2+ Core

A series of nickel complexes with nuclearity ranging from Ni₃ to Ni₆ have been obtained by treatment of a variety of nickel salts with the 2‐pyridylcyanoxime ligand. The reported compounds have as a common structural feature the triangular arrangement of nickel cations bridged by a central μ₃‐oxo/alkoxo ligand. These compounds are simultaneously the first nickel derivatives of the 2‐pyridylcyanoxime ligand and the first examples of isolated, μ₃‐O triangular pyridyloximate nickel complexes. Magnetic measurements reveal antiferromagnetic interactions promoted by the μ₃‐O and oximato superexchange pathways and comparison of the experimental structural and magnetic data with DFT calculations give an in‐depth explanation of the factors that determine the magnetic interaction in this kind of system.     

Cluster Fusion: Face‐Fused Nine‐Atom Deltahedral Clusters in [Sn14Ni(CO)]4−

The title anion was synthesized by heating dimethylformamide (DMF) solution of the known Ni‐centered and Ni(CO)‐capped tin clusters [Ni@Sn₉Ni(CO)]^3?. The new anion represents the first example of face‐fused nine‐atom molecular clusters. The two clusters are identical elongated tricapped trigonal prisms of nido‐[Sn₈Ni(CO)]^6? with nickel at one of the capping positions. They are fused along a triangular face adjacent to a trigonal prismatic base and made of two Sn and one Ni atoms. The new anion is structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction in the compound (K[222‐crypt])₄[Sn₁₄Ni(CO)]?DMF. Its presence in solution is corroborated by electrospray mass spectrometry.

FeII Spin‐Crossover Phenomenon in the Pentadecanuclear {Fe9[Re(CN)8]6} Spherical Cluster

The self‐assembly of iron(II) ions with rare octacyanidorhenate(V) metalloligands in a methanolic solution results in the formation of a nanometric pentadecanuclear {Fe^II₉[Re^V(CN)₈]₆(MeOH)₂₄}?10 MeOH ( 1 ) molecule with a six‐capped body‐centered cubic topology. The cluster demonstrates a thermally‐induced spin‐crossover phase transition at T_1/2=195 K which occurs selectively for a single Fe^II ion embedded in the center of a cluster core.

[Ni(iPr2Im)2Br2]: A Convenient Entry into NHC Nickel ­Chemistry

The reaction of the NHC iPr₂Im [NHC=N‐heterocyclic carbene, iPr₂Im = 1, 3‐bis(isopropyl)imidazolin‐2‐ylidene] with freshly prepared NiBr₂ in thf or dme results in the formation of the air stable nickel(II) complex trans‐[Ni(iPr₂Im)₂Br₂] ( 2 ). Complex 2 was structurally characterized. Thermal analysis (DTA/TG) reveals a very high decomposition temperature of 298 °C. Reduction of 2 with sodium or C₈K in the presence of the olefins COD (cyclooctadiene) or COE (cyclooctene) affords the highly reactive compounds [Ni₂(iPr₂Im)₄(COD)] ( 1 ) and [Ni(iPr₂Im)₂(COE)] ( 4 ). Alkylation of 2 with organolithiums leads to the formation of trans‐[Ni(iPr₂Im)₂(R)₂] [R = Me ( 5 ), CH₂SiMe₃ ( 6 )], whereas the reaction of 2 with LiCp* [Cp* = (η⁵‐C₅(CH₃)₅)] at 80 °C causes the loss of one NHC ligand and affords [(η⁵‐C₅(CH₃)₅)Ni(iPr₂Im)Br] ( 7 ).
