CuClS_0.94Te_1.06 and CuBrS_0.92Te_1.08, Two New Copper(I) Chalcogen Halides Containing Neutral [STe] Screws CuClS_0.94Te_1.06 and CuBrS_0.92Te_1.08 are two new, isotypic compounds of general composition CuXYY′ (X = halide, Y, Y′ = chalcogen) with a mixed chalcogen substructure. They crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n (No. 14), a = 7.878(2), b = 4.727(1), c = 10.759(2) Å, β = 103.97(2)°, V = 388.8(2) ų (CuClS_0.94Te_1.06) and a = 8.043(3), b = 4.746(2), c = 11.240(4) Å, β = 103.46(3)°, V = 417.3(3) ų (CuBrS_0.92Te_1.08), both with Z = 4. The crystal structures are dominated by ordered [STe^±0]-screws. From a crystal chemical point of view the sulfur and tellurium atoms are significantly different. The melting points are 341 °C (CuClS_0.94Te_1.06) and 336 °C (CuBrS_0.92Te_1.08). The compounds CuXYY′ (X = Cl, Br, I; Y, Y′ = S, Se, Te) are compared and discussed.     

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 solid‐state structures of complexes 3 and 4 are reported. Mononuclear 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 14.285(2), b = 10.853(2), c = 17.425(2) Å , β = 103.310(10)?, V = 2628.9(7) Å ³ and Z = 4 with 4053 observed unique reflections; R₁ = 0.0314. The crystal structure of 3 consists of monomeric molecules with planar coordinated copper(I) centres (CuClNP). Homobimetallic 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 23.905(4), b = 10.874(3), c = 25.314(5), β = 99.130(10)?, V = 6497(2) /Aring; ³ and Z = 4 with 9021 observed unique reflections; R₁ = 0.0480. In 4 one of two copper(I) centres possesses a distorted trigonal‐pyramidal environment, while the other one is almost square‐pyramidal coordinated. The Cu₂Cl₂ segment resembles to a building block which is set up by a contact ion pair consisting of Cu⁺ and [CuCl₂]^‐ , respectively.     

Lewis-Base Adducts of Group 11 Metal(I) Compounds. LXXVI Structural Studies in the Copper(I) Halide : Norbornadiene System

The structural characterizations of some copper(I) halide (CuX) adducts with norbornadiene (nbd) are recorded. CuCl : nbd (1:1)₄ (a redetermination), (2:1)_2(|), are systems both based around Cu₄Cl₄ cubane-type cluster arrays. CuBr : nbd (7:3)_(|)( 0.5 MeOH), a complex polymer with 3-symmetry, is believed to be the complex previously described as an adduct of 2:1 stoichiometry. Attempts to obtain an iodide counterpart have resulted in the definition of an ephemeral adduct CuI : MeCN (3:2)_(|). 0.5 C₇H₈ in which, remarkably, the nbd is uncoordinated; the complex is a polymer, related to the [AgX(quinoline)]_(|) (X = Cl, Br) saddle polymer.     

Modified Tellurium Subhalides in the New Structure Type [Te15X4]n[MOX4]2n (M = Mo,W; X = Cl,Br)

The reactions of Te₂Br with MoOBr₃, TeCl₄ with MoNCl₂/MoOCl₃, and Te with WBr₅/WOBr₃ yield black, needle-like crystals of [Te₁₅X₄][MOX₄]₂ (M = Mo, W; X = Cl, Br). The crystal structure determinations [Te₁₅Br₄][MoOBr₄]₂: monoclinic, Z = 1, C2/m, a = 1595.9(4) pm, b = 403.6(1) pm, c = 1600.4(4) pm, β = 112.02(2)°; [Te₁₅Cl₄][MoOCl₄]₂: C2/m, a = 1535.3(5) pm, b = 402.8(2) pm, c = 1569.6(5) pm, β = 112.02(2)°; [Te₁₅Br₄][WOBr₄]₂: C2, a = 1592.4(4) pm, b = 397.5(1) pm, c = 1593.4(5) pm, β = 111.76(2)° show that all three compounds are isotypic and consist of one-dimensional ([Te₁₅X₄]²⁺)_n and ([MOX₄]^?)_n strands. The structures of the cationic strands are closely related to the tellurium subhalides Te₂X (X = Br, I). One of the two rows of halogen atoms that bridges the band of condensed Te₆ rings is stripped off, and additionally one Te position has only 75% occupancy which leads to the formula ([Te₁₅X₄]²⁺)_n (X = Cl, Br) for the cation. The anionic substructures consist of tetrahalogenooxometalate ions [MOX₄]^? that are linked by linear oxygen bridges to polymeric strands. The compounds are paramagnetic with one unpaired electron per metal atom indicating oxidation state M^v, and are weak semiconductors.     

CuClSe1.53Te0.47 and CuClSe0.56Te1.44: Structural and Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigations on Copper(I) Chalcogen Chlorides

CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47 and CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44 are obtained from the reaction of CuCl, Se, and Te in stoichiometric amounts. Both copper(I) selenium tellurium chlorides are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n (no. 14) with lattice constants of a = 7.837(1) Å, b = 4.699(1) Å, c = 10.762(2) Å, β = 104.37(2)°, V = 383.9(1) ų (CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47), and a = 8.074(1) Å, b = 4.830(1) Å, c = 10.973(1) Å, β = 103.87(2)°, V = 415.5(1) ų (CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44), and Z = 4. A common feature of these isostructural compounds are heteroatomic strands [YY'] (Y, Y' = chalcogen). These strands are running along [010] and are connected to layers by chains [CuCl]. Vibrational spectra of CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47, CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44, CuXTe₂ and CuX'Se₂ (X = Cl, Br, I; X' = Cl, Br) are analysed with respect to the bonding relations of the chalcogen chains. Modes derived from IR and Raman spectra are assigned by correlation with tri gonal Se and related copper(I) chalcogen halides. Both, X‐ray structural data and an analysis of the chalcogen vibrational modes in IR and Raman spectra, lead to a detailed insight into the ordering phenomena of the chalcogen chains in this type of copper(I) chalcogen halides.     

Lewis-Base Adducts of Group 11 Metal(I) Compounds. LXXV Structural Systematics of the Binuclear Copper(I) Halide: 1,5-Cyclooctadiene (‘cod’) 2:2 Adducts, [(cod)Cu(μ-X)2Cu(cod)], X = Cl, Br, I

Adducts of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) with the copper(I) halides, CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) of 1:1 stoichiometry are confirmed as binuclear species of [(cod)Cu(-X)₂Cu(cod)] by single crystal X-ray studies, those for X = Cl, I being executed at low-temperature. The study for X = Cl is a redetermination, exposing disorder in one of the copper atom sites; a similar redetermination of [Cu(cod)₂](ClO₄) shows disorder in respect of one of the ligands. Bonding parameters are compared with those for other Lewis-base analogues.

The Structures of some Hexaammine Metal(II) Halides of 3 d Metals: [V(NH₃)₆]I₂, [Cr(NH₃)₆]I₂, [Mn(NH₃)₆]Cl₂, [Fe(NH₃)₆]Cl₂, [Fe(NH₃)₆]Br₂, [Co(NH₃)₆]Br₂ and [Ni(NH₃)₆]Cl₂ Crystals of yellow [V(NH₃)₆]I₂ and green [Cr(NH₃)₆]I₂ were obtained by the reaction of VI₂ and CrI₂ with liquid ammonia at room temperature. Colourless crystals of [Mn(NH₃)₆]Cl₂ were obtained from Mn and NH₄Cl in supercritical ammonia. Colourless transparent crystals of [Fe(NH₃)₆]Cl₂ and [Fe(NH₃)₆]Br₂ were obtained by the reaction of FeCl₂ and FeBr₂ with supercritical ammonia at 400°C. Under the same conditions orange crystals of [Co(NH₃)₆]Br₂ were obtained from [Co₂(NH₂)₃(NH₃)₆]Br₃. Purple crystals of [Ni(NH₃)₆]Cl₂ were obtained by the reaction of NiCl₂ · 6H₂O and NH₄Cl with aqueous NH₃ solution. The structures of the isotypic compounds (Fm3 m, Z = 4) were determined from single crystal diffractometer data (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). All compounds crystallize in the K₂[PtCl₆] structure type. In these compounds the metal ions have high-spin configuration. The orientation of the dynamically disordered hydrogen atoms of the ammonia ligands is discussed.     

CuBrSe2: a Metastable Compound in the System CuBr / Se

Metastable CuBrSe₂ was prepared by the fast cooling of a melt (T ≥ 400°C) of copper(I) bromide and selenium in the ratio 1:2 to room temperature. The crystal structure was determined from single crystals separated from the solidified melt. The compound crystallizes isotypic to CuXTe₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) and CuClSe₂, space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 7.8838(9) Å, b = 4.6439(4) Å, c = 11.183(1) Å, β = 103.44(1)°, V = 398.2(1) ų, and Z = 4. The refinement converged to R = 0.0424 and wR = 0.0851 (all reflections), respectively. In the crystal structure formally neutral one‐dimensional selenium chains [Se] are coordinated to copper(I) bromide. Slow cooling of the melt or heating of solid CuBrSe₂ to 250°C for some hours results in the decomposition of the compound, and a mixture of CuBrSe₃ and CuBr is formed. DSC measurements indicate, that this decomposition starts at about 200°C. Nevertheless, a melting point of 342°C can be determined. In Raman spectra of CuBrSe₂, selenium‐selenium stretching modes are found at ν_Se–Se = 241 and 219 cm^–1.

All three complexes contain only tetramers (C₂H₅AsO)₄ as ligands, in which the As₄O₄ ring systems coordinate between two and four Cu-atoms. In each case one As₄O₄ ring with a crown-shaped conformation is observed, which coordinates either four (in 1 ) or three (in 2 and 3 ) axially sited Cu-atoms. In addition there are further (C₂H₅AsO)₄ ligands, which display either a boat-chair- (in 1 ) or a twist-chair-conformation (in 1–3 ).

Cu bridges (in 2 and 3 ) and/or centrosymmetric As₄O₄ ring systems (in 1–3 ) into chain ( 1 ) or layer structures ( 2 und 3 ).     

[La2Cl3(OAc)2(H2O)7]Cl: Das erste Lanthanid-Acetat-Halogenid-Hydrat mit Chlorid in innerer Koordinationssphäre

[La₂Cl₃(OAc)₂(H₂O)₇]Cl: The First Lanthanide-Acetate-Halide-Hydrate with Chloride in Inner-Sphere Coordination [La₂Cl₃(OAc)₂(H₂O)₇]Cl has been obtained as single crystals through the reaction of LaCl₃ · 7H₂O with diluted acetic acid or from La₂O₃ with acetyl chloride. In the crystal structure (triclinic, Z = 2, P1 (no. 2), a = 919.6(2), b = 950.7(2), c = 1178.9(2) pm, α = 82.52(1), β = 84.14(1), γ = 64.69(1)°, R = 0.021, R_w = 0.020), La³⁺ is surrounded by nine ligands (O, Cl). La1 has two chloride and seven oxygen ligands whereas La2 has one chloride and eight oxygen atoms as nearest neighbours. Four of the oxygen ligands of each lanthanum cation originate from a ?tetradentate”? acetate anion, the others from crystal water molecules. The ?tetradentate”? acetate groups are coordinated not only to one central La³⁺ as chelate ligands, but also to the ?left”? and ?right”? La³⁺ neighbours. Thereby, a one-dimensional infinite cationic chain, [La₂Cl₃(OAc)₂(H₂O)₇]⁺, is formed that runs in the [011] direction. These chains are held together by ?lonesome”? chloride ions which are surrounded by (4 + 1) water molecules and connected to the chains via hydrogen bonds.
