The crystal structure of ( 1 ) reveals a positional disorder of the anion sublattice along the asymmetric axis. Due to the stronger trans influence of I compared with Cl on asymmetric axes Cl˙–Re–I′ is caused a mean lenghthening of the Re–Cl˙ distances of 0.020 Å (0.8%) and a shortening of the Re–I′ distances of 0.035 Å (1.3%) with regard to symmetrically coordinated axes Cl–Re–Cl and I–Re–I, respectively. Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salts of all four chloro-iodo-rhenates(IV) are assigned by normal coordinate analyses. The weakening of the Re–Cl˙ bonds and the strengthening of the Re–I′ bonds is indicated by a decrease or increase of the valence force constants each by 9%.

PPh₄[OsCl₄(NO)(NSCl)] was characterized by its IR spectrum and an X-ray crystal structure analysis (3001 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.048). Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 1716, b = 1054, c = 1588 pm, β = 96.25°. The compound consists of PPh₄⊕ cations and [OsCl₄(NO)(NSCl)]? anions in which the nitrosyl and the chlorothionitrene ligands have a cis arrangement. Due to positional disorder the NO and NSCl groups are superimposed statistically in the structure model.     

Synthese von Nitrenkomplexen mit N-Trimethylsilylanilin. II. Charakterisierung und Kristallstruktur der Rhenium(V)-phenylnitren-Komplexe mer-[Re(NPh)Cl3(NH2Ph)(Ph3P)] und trans-[Re(NPh)(OMe)Cl2(Ph3P)2]

Synthesis of Phenylnitrene Complexes with N-Trimethylsilylaniline. II. Characterization and Crystal Structure of the Rhenium(V) Complexes mer-[Re(NPh)Cl₃(NH₂Ph)(Ph₃P)] and trans-[Re(NPh)(OMe)Cl₂(Ph₃P)₂] Reaction of [ReOCl₃(Ph₃P)₂] with N-trimethylsilylaniline yields mer-[Re(NPh)Cl₃(Ph₃P)₂], which reacts under air with excess of N-trimethylsilylaniline to form [Re(NPh)Cl₃ · (NH₂Ph)(Ph₃P)]. Crystallization from CH₂Cl₂/MeOH affords [Re(NPh)(OMe)Cl₂(Ph₃P)₂] as an additional product. [Re(NPh)Cl₃(NH₂Ph)(Ph₃P)] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 192.3(3); b = 1 918.9(3); c = 1 266.3(3) pm; β = 101.71(1)°; Z = 4. The rhenium atom has a distorted octahedral environment with the Cl atoms in meridional positions. The phenyl nitrene ligand is coordinated with an almost linear arrangement Re? N1? C40 = 166.8(6)° and with a bond distance Re?N = 170.5(6) pm. [Re(NPh)(OMe)Cl₂(Ph₃P)₂] · 1/2CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 : a = 1 103.1(4); b = 1 227.9(4); c = 1 711.3(5) pm; α = 70.48(3)°; β = 72.71(3)°; γ = 80.03(3)°; Z = 2. The rhenium atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination with the Cl atoms and the phosphine ligands in trans positions. As a consequence of the competition of the nitrene ligand and the trans-coordinated methoxy group the Re?;N bond length is slightly lengthened to 173.2(7) pm, while the Re? O bond length of 193.4(6) pm is short. The bond angles Re? N? C70 and Re? O? C80 are 173.3(7)° and 139.1(7)°, respectively.

Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[NbSCl₅] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ and NEt₄[NbCl₆] NbSCl₃ can be obtained from NbCl₅ by reaction with H₂S or bistrimethylsilyl sulfide in a suspension of CCl₄ or CH₂Cl₂, respectively; in the latter case the product contains a rest of trimethylsilyl groups. This also applies for TaSCl₃, NbSBr₃ and TaSBr₃, which are formed from the metal pentahalides and S(SiMe₃)₂. NEt₄[NbSCl₄] is formed together with NEt₄[NbCl₆] in the reaction of NbCl₅ with NEt₄SH in CH₂Cl₂. PPh₄[NbCl₆] reacts with S(SiMe₃)₂ in dichloromethane yielding (PPh₄)₂[NbSCl₅] · 2 CH₂Cl₂, whereas PPh₄[NbSBr₄] is obtained from PPh₄[NbBr₆] and S(SiMe₃) under the same conditions. (PPh₄)₂[TaSCl₅] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ was obtained from TaSCl₃ and PPh₄Cl in CH₂Cl₂. According to an X-ray crystal structure determination (PPh₄)₂[NbSCl₅] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes in the β-(AsPh₄)₂[UCl₆] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ type with positionally disordered, octahedral anions. Crystal data: a = 1 021.7, b = 1120.4, c = 1 243.3 pm, α = 70.77, β = 80.24, γ = 80.54°, space group P1 , Z = 2; 2462 unique observed reflexions, R = 0.036.
