Monomere Komplexe NiL mit vierzähnigen Liganden [R2P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R2]2– (= L) [1]

Monomeric Complexes NiL with Tetradentate Ligands [R₂P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R₂]^2– (= L) Metathesis of [NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂] with Li salts of the potentially tetradentate ligands [R₂P(S)N–R'–NP(S)R₂]^2– (= L) affords monomeric complexes NiL containing the chromophore NiN₂S₂ ( 1 : R = Et; a , b : R' = Me₂C–(CH₂)₂–CMe₂, o-Phenylen; 2 : R = t-Bu, R' = (CH₂)_n; a – c : n = 2, 3, 4). According to the results of magnetic measurements and VIS as well as NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ³¹P) these complexes are planar except 1 a that is tetrahedral. In case of 1 a and 2 c this was confirmed by the results of crystal structure analyses. In toluene, however, 1 a and 2 c form an equilibrium of planar (diamagnetic) and tetrahedral (paramagnetic) conformers. VT-¹H-NMR including ¹H,¹H-COSY showed a hindered Δ,Λ-inversion of 1 a below 330 K. Only with 1 b a pentacoordinate adduct 1 b · PPh₃ was obtained that completely dissociates in its components on dissolving in benzene. 1 a and 2 c crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c containing 4 molecules in the unit cell of the dimensions 1 a : a = 8.774(1), b = 12.335(2), c = 21.339(3) Å, β = 92.33(1)° and 2 c : a = 13.374(8), b = 16.197(8), c = 12.814(6) Å, β = 109.20(4)°. The coordination of the Ni atom yields in 1 a a dihedral angle ϵ of 41.7(1)° and thus a geometry intermediate between planar and tetrahedral while in 2 c the angle of 4.5(1)° reveals a nearly planar chromophore NiN₂S₂.     

Pb2PdX6 (X = Cl,Br) – Verbindungen mit gestreckten [PdX6]-Oktaedern

Pb₂PdX₆ (X = Cl, Br) – Compounds with Elongated [PdX₆] Octahedra In contradiction to published data new compounds in the systems PbX₂—PdX₂ (X = Cl, Br) with the formula Pb₂PdCl₆ (I) and Pb₂PdBr₆ (II) were found. These were synthesized by thermal treatment of the corresponding mixtures of PbX₂ and PdX₂ (X = Cl, Br). X-ray single crystal structure analysis shows isotypism of I and II, monoclinic, P2₁/c (No. 14), Z = 2, I: a = 9.037(2) Å, b = 6.224(1) Å, c = 8.162(1) Å, β = 90.31(7)β, II: a = 9.512(7) Å, b = 6.584(8) Å, c = 8.383(3) Å, β = 90.07(5)º. Strongly elongated PdX₆ octahedra are found in the crystal structure. Additional characterisation of the compounds was done by DTA, IR/RAMAN spectra and ²⁰⁷Pb MAS NMR investigations. Remarcable low field shifts were found for ²⁰⁷Pb.

With [(η²‐C₈H₁₄)₂Fe(CO)₃] in addition to [μ‐(1, 2, 3:4‐η‐^tBu₂P¹‐P²‐P³‐P^4tBu₂){Fe(CO)₂PMe^tBu₂}‐{Fe(CO)₄}] ( 10 ) and 2 also [(μ‐P^tBu₂){μ‐P‐Fe(CO)₃‐PMe^tBu₂}‐{Fe(CO)₃}₂(Fe‐Fe)]( 9 ) is formed. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 875.0(2), b = 1073.2(2), c = 3162.6(6) pm and β = 94.64(3)?. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 1643.4(7), b = 1240.29(6), c = 2667.0(5) pm and β = 97.42(2)?. 9 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1407.5(5), b = 1649.7(5), c = 1557.9(16) pm and β = 112.87(2)?.     

Chelatkomplexe LM/n von Übergangsmetallen mit Iminophosphin-säureamidato-Liganden R2P(NR′)2– (= L)

Chelate Complexes LM/n of Transition Metals with Phosphinoimidic Amidato Ligands R₂P(NR′)₂^– (= L) Reaction of LLi with metal halides or metal halide complexes affords chelate complexes LM/n (L = R₂P(NR′)₂^–; M = Cr⁺⁺⁺, Co⁺⁺, Ni⁺⁺, Zn⁺⁺). With the bulky ligand t-Bu₂P(NSiMe₃)₂^– and Ni(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ or Ni(dme)Br₂ (dme = dimethoxyethane) only halide bridged chelates [LNiHal]₂ (Hal = Cl, Br) containing tetrahedral chromophors NiN₂Hal₂ were obtained. Main objects of investigation were the bischelates L₂Ni 2 . 2 a (R = i-Pr, R′ = Me) and 2 c (R = Ph, R′ = Et) are planar, 2 b (R = i-Pr, R′ = Et) and 2 d–g (R, R′ = i-Pr, i-Pr; Ph, i-Pr; Et, SiMe₃; Ph, SiMe₃) tetrahedral. In solutions of 2 b and 2 c a conformational equilibrium planar (diamagnetic) tetrahedral (paramagnetic) exists that is shifted to the right with increasing temperature and is dominated by the tetrahedral ( 2 b ) or planar conformer ( 2 c ) at room temperature. As is the case with the isovalence electronic compounds [R₂P(S)NR′]₂Ni small substituents R′ apparently favour the planar state and in contrast to some complexes [R₂P(O)NR′]₂Ni no paramagnetic planar species 2 have yet been observed. These findings that are derived from the results of magnetic measurements and of UV/VIS as well as NMR spectroscopy are confirmed by crystal structure determinations: 2 a was found to be planar (orthorhombic; a = 3382.8(11), b = 1124.0(4), c = 8874(3); P2₁2₁2; Z = 6), and 2 g to be tetrahedral (monocline; a = 1268.4(2), b = 1806.8(2), c = 1971.6(2), P2₁/n; Z = 4). The bite angle NNiN of the chelate ligand in 2 a (ca. 77°) is similar to those in paramagnetic planar complexes [R₂P(O)NR′]₂Ni (NNiO 74–77°) and shows that a small chelate bite does not necessarily imply paramagnetism of planar Ni(II) complexes.

Pyridine-based complexes of copper(II) chloride and bromide: ligand conformation effects on crystal structure. Synthesis,structure and magnetic behavior of Cu(2-Cl-3-X′py)2X2 [X,X′ = Cl,Br]

Abstract

Reaction of copper(II) chloride or bromide with 2-chloro-3-bromopyridine or 2,3-dichloropyridine generates a family of compounds of the general formula L₂CuX₂ (1–4). X-ray crystallography shows that the bromide complexes (3-bromo-2-chloropyridine)dibromidocopper(II) (1) and (2,3-dichloropyridine)dibromidocopper(II) (3) are particularly unusual in that they crystallize with both the syn- and anti-conformation structures in the same crystal. A review of the literature on complexes of the formula (substituted-pyridine)₂CuX₂ suggests that these are the first examples of such complexes. The members of the family show a variety of magnetic behaviors and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data indicate that 1 is essentially paramagnetic (θ = ?0.9(1) K) while 3 is weakly ferromagnetic (J?=?2.9(1) K). Compound 2 [(3-bromo-2-chloropyridine)dichloridocopper(II)] is fit by the uniform 1-D antiferromagnetic model (J = ?19.6(1) K), while 4 [(2,3-dichloropyridine)dichloridocopper(II)] exhibits weak anti-ferromagnetic interactions (J = ?3.68(3) K).

Einkernige und zweikernige Kupfer(I)‐Komplexe vom Typ LCuCl,LCu2Cl2 und LCu2ClX [L = P(C6H4CH2NMe2)3; X = Br,I]

The title compounds 3‐5 are accessible by treatment of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃( 1 ) with CuX ( 2a : X = Cl, 2b : X = Br, 2c : X = I) in the ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 in very good yields. Reaction of 1 with equimolar amounts of 2a affords the copper(I) chloride [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]CuCl ( 3 ). With a further equivalent of 2a homobimetallic [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]Cu₂Cl₂ ( 4 ) is formed, which also can be synthesized by the reaction of 1 with two equivalents of 2a. Complex 3 reacts with CuX (X = Br, I)to afford [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe2)₃]Cu₂ClX ( 5a : X = Br; 5b : X = I) in which mixed halides are present. The newly synthesized complexes 3‐5 were characterized by elemental analyses, by their IR‐, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐ and ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR spectra as well as by mass spectrometrical studies.

The bond lengths are Pt‐Cl = 2.286, Pt‐Br = 2.405 und Pt‐O = 2.016 ( 1 ) und 2.030Å ( 2 ). In the vibrational spectra the PtX stretching vibrations are observed at 335 and 336 ( 1 ) and 219 and 231 cm^—1 ( 2 ). The PtO stretching vibrations are coupled with internal modes of the oxalato ligands and appear in the range of 350 — 800 cm^—1. Using the molecular parameters of the X‐Ray determinations the IR and Raman spectra of the (n‐Bu₄N) salts are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(PtCl) = 1.97, f_d(PtBr) = 1.78 and f_d(PtO) = 2.48 ( 1 ) and 2.38 mdyn/Å ( 2 ). Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved. The NMR shifts are δ(¹⁹⁵Pt) = 3603.9 ( 1 ) and 3318.1 ppm ( 2 ).

In 2 a and 2 b , each of the Co(CO)₃ units is η²‐coordinated to the terminal P₂ units resulting in the cis‐ and trans‐configurations 2 a and 2 b . 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnm (No. 58) with a = 879,41(5), b = 1199,11(8), c = 1773,65(11) pm. 2 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 875,97(5), b = 1625,36(11), c = 2117,86(12) pm, β = 91,714(7)°. 2 b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 812,00(10), b = 843,40(10), c = 1179,3(2) pm, α = 100,92(2)°, β = 102,31(2)°, γ = 102,25(2)°.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Cs5Nb2S4X9 – Double Salts Containing New Cluster Anions [Nb2(μ-S2)2X8]4– (X = Cl,Br)

Bis(disulfide)bridged Nb(+4) cluster halide complexes [Nb₂S₄X₈]^4– (X = Cl, Br) were prepared by acid hydrolysis of [Nb₂S₄(NCS)₈]^4– in concentrated aqueous HCl or HBr, solution from which they can be isolated as double salts Cs₅[Nb₂S₄X₈]X (X = Cl, 1 ; X = Br, 2 ). The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined. The isolation and X-ray structure of oxonium salt (H₃O)₅ [Nb₂S₄Cl₈]Cl ( 3 ) is also reported. 1 – 3 contain new [Nb₂S₄X₈]^4– anions which can also be viewed as excised building blocks of polymeric solids NbS₂X₂. The extra halogen resides in the center of octahedron formed by six Cs⁺ or H₃O⁺ ions. All the three salts are isostructural and crystallize in tetragonal space group Immm with the following parameters: a = 10.269(2), b = 16.343(2), c = 7.220(1) Å for 1 , a = 10.934(1), b = 16.613(2), c = 7.470(1) Å for 2 , a = 9.639(1), b = 16.031(1), c = 7.071(1) Å for 3 . The parameters of the Nb₂S₄ core are only slightly affected by the change from Cl to Br.     

Polymere Iodoplumbate – Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (Pr3N–C2H4–NPr3)[Pb6I14(dmf)2] · 4 DMF, (Pr3N–C2H4–NPr3)[Pb(dmf)6][Pb5I14] · DMF und (Me3N–C2H4–NMe3)2[Pb2I7]I

Polymeric Iodoplumbates – Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (Pr₃N–C₂H₄–NPr₃)[Pb₆I₁₄(dmf)₂] · 4 DMF, (Pr₃N–C₂H₄–NPr₃)[Pb(dmf)₆][Pb₅I₁₄] · DMF, and (Me₃N–C₂H₄–NMe₃)₂[Pb₂I₇]I (Pr₃N–C₂H₄–NPr₃)[Pb₆I₁₄(dmf)₂] · 4 DMF ( 1 ) and (Pr₃N–C₂H₄–NPr₃)[Pb(dmf)₆][Pb₅I₁₄] · DMF ( 2 ) have almost the same composition, but completely different structures. Both compounds are formed selectively depending on the reaction and crystallization conditions. In 2 the Pb^II atoms are coordinated either by six bridging I^– ligands in the two-dimensional [Pb₅I₁₄]^4– network or by six DMF ligands in the [Pb(dmf)₆]²⁺ cations. In contrast, (Me₃N–C₂H₄–NMe₃)₂[Pb₂I₇]I ( 3 ) contains non-coordinating I^– anions between the iodoplumbate layers. The iodoplumbate anions in 2 and 3 consist of face and corner sharing PbI₆ octahedra, whereas in 1 PbI₆ and PbI₅(dmf) octahedra share common edges to form a one-dimensional polymeric section of the PbI₂ structure.

Reactive E = C(pp)π-Systems. XLII [1]. Novel Coordination Compounds of 2-(Diisopropylamino)-1-phosphaethyne: [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] 2-(Diisopropylamino)-phosphaethyne iPr₂N? C?P ( 2 ) reacts with the Ni(0)-complexes [Ni(1,5-cyclooctadiene)₂] and [Ni(CO)₃(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)], respectively, to give the novel complex [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 5 ), with the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene derivative and 2 (side-on) as π-ligands. The molecular structure of 5 determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals proves the spin systems and rotational barriers deduced from NMR-data (¹H, ¹³C-, ³¹P). The PC distances of the four-membered ring of 1.817(2) and 1.818(2) Å – as expected – are considerably longer than the PC bond of the η²-coordinated phosphaalkyne 2 [1.671(2) Å]. – In the reactions of 2 with [(Ph₃P)₂Pt(C₂H₄)] or [Co₂(CO)₈] the ligand properties of 2 resemble those of alkynes affording the complexes [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 7 ) with side-on coordinated 2 and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] with 2 acting as a 4e donor bridge in quantitative yield. In attempts to prepare copper(I) complexes of the aminophosphaalkyne 2 by reaction with CuCl or CuI the only isolable product formed in reasonable amounts under the influence of air and moisture is the 1 λ³, 3 λ⁵-diphosphetene (iPr₂N) ( 10 ) (isolated yield: ca. 20%). The crystal structure analysis of 10 indicates a strong structural relationship to the diamino-2-phosphaallyl cation [Me(iPr₂N)]⁺ ( 12 ), the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene ligand (iPr₂NCP)₂ in the binuclear complex [{η¹, μ²-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni₂(CO)₆] ( 3a ) as well as to the heterocycles (dme)₂LiOE₂′ (E′ = S, 11a ; E′ = Se, 11b ) prepared by Becker et al. [11b, 35].
