Diphenyldiacetylene Complexes of Molybdenum (IV) and Tungsten (IV). Crystal Structures of PPh₄[WCl₅(Ph? C?C? C?C? Ph)] · CCl₄ and PPh₄[WCl₅(Ph? C?C? C(Br)?C(Br)? Ph)] · CCl₄ Syntheses and i.r. spectra of the following diphenyldiacetylene complexes are reported: [MoCl₄(Ph? C?C? C?C? Ph)]₂( 1 ), [WCl₄(Ph? C?C? C?C? Ph)]₂ ( 2 ), PPh₄[WCl₅(Ph? C?C? C?C? Ph)] · CCl₄ ( 3 ). 1 is formed in the reaction of MoCl₅ with excess diphenyldiacetylene. 2 is prepared from WCl₆ and excess diphenylacetylene with additional C₂Cl₄ as a reducing agent. Reaction of 2 with PPh₄Cl in CH₂Cl₂ solution in the presence of CCl₄ yields 3 . The complexes contain one of the acetylene functions bonded in a metallacyclopropene ring; the metal atoms are seven-coordinated. 2 reacts with bromine to from the dibromide [WCl₄(Ph? C?C? C(Br)? Ph)]₂ (4). In CH₂Cl₂ solution and in presence of ccl₄ 4 is turned into the ionic complex PPh₄[Ph? C?C? C(Br)? Ph] · CCl₄ (5) by PPh₄Cl. The complexes 3 and 5 are characterized by structural analyses on the basis of X-Ray diffraction data. 3 crystallized monoclinic in the space group p2₁/n with four formula units per unit cell (2623 observed, independent reflexions, R = 5.4%). 5 crystallized in the same space group, set P2₁/c, the unit cell containing four formula units (2537 observed, independent reflexions, R = 5.4%). Both complexes consist of tetraphenylphosphonium cations and anions, in which the tungsten atoms are coordinated by five chlorine and two carbon atoms, the latter bonding side-on, in an approximately symmetrical way. In addition the lattices contain one molecule CCl₄ per formula unit. The acetylene ligand causes a strong trans-effect. As a result the W? Cl bond lengths in trans-position are by 10 pm longer than those in cis-position. Bromination of the second acetylene function of 3 leads to addition in trans-position (5).     

Diiodacetylenkomplexe von Wolfram(IV). Die Kristallstruktur von PPh4[WCl5(C2l2)] · 0,5 CH2Cl2

Diiodoacetylene Complexes of Tungsten(IV). Crystal Structure of PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂I₂)] · 0.5 CH₂Cl₂ Tungsten hexachloride and diiodoacetylene react in CCl₄ solution forming [WCl₄(I? C?C? I)]₂ which has a dimer structure with chloro bridges. In CH₂Cl₂, it reacts with PPh₄Cl yielding PPh₄[WCl₅(I? C?C? I)] · 0.5 CH₂Cl₂. In both compounds the C₂I₂ ligands attain a marked increase in thermal stability by their side-one coordination to the tungsten atoms. The crystal structure of the PPh₄^⊕ salt was determined with X-ray diffraction data (3879 observed reflexions, R = 0.050). PPh₄[WCl₅(C₂I₂)] · 0.5 CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with 8 formula units per unit cell. The lattice constants are a = 1723.0, b = 1681.2, c = 2214.6 pm and β = 94.38°. There are two crystallographically independent [WCl₅(C₂I₂)]^? ions which differ only slightly from one another. The C₂I₂ ligand has a staggered arrangement relative to the W? Cl groups, with C? C bond lengths of 127 pm. The infrared spectra are discussed.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[TeS3] · 2 CH3CN und (PPh4)2[Te(S5)2]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[TeS₃] · 2 CH₃CN and (PPh₄)₂[Te(S₅)₂] (PPh₄)₂[TeS₃] · 2 CH₃CN was obtained by the reaction of PPh₄Cl, Na₂S₄ and Te in acetonitrile.

Along with the Te atoms each of the two S₅ groups forms a ring with chair conformation.
