Synthesis and structural characterisation of the palladium N-heterocyclic carbene cluster complexes [Pd3(μ-CO)3(NHC)3] and [Pd3(μ-SO2)3(NHC)3]

The reduction of trans-[Pd(NHC)₂Cl₂] (NHC = IMes, 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; IⁱPr₂ = 1,3-bis-isopropylimidazol-2-ylidene) with potassium graphite under an atmosphere of CO affords the palladium NHC carbonyl clusters [Pd₃(μ-CO)₃(NHC)₃] (NHC = IMes, 1; IⁱPr₂, 3). Treatment of 1 with SO₂ at room temperature yields the bridging SO₂ complex [Pd₃(μ-SO₂)₃(IMes)₃] (4) in quantitative yield. Complexes 1, 3 and 4 have been structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography.     

Unusual ion UO4? formed upon collision induced dissociation of [UO2(NO3)3]?, [UO2(ClO4)3]?, [UO2(CH3COO)3]? ions

The following ions [UO₂(NO₃)₃]⁻, [UO₂(ClO₄)₃]⁻, [UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]⁻ were generated from respective salts (UO₂(NO₃)₂, UO₂(ClO₄)₃, UO₂(CH3COO)2) by laser desorption/ionization (LDI). Collision induced dissociation of the ions has led, among others, to the formation of UO₄ ⁻ ion (m/z 302). The undertaken quantum mechanical calculations showed this ion is most likely to possess square planar geometry as suggested by MP2 results or strongly deformed geometry in between tetrahedral and square planar as indicated by DFT results. Interestingly, geometrical parameters and analysis of electron density suggest it is an U^VI compound, in which oxygen atoms bear unpaired electron and negative charge.     

Crystal structure of [Pd(NH3)4]3[Ir(NO2)6]2·H2O

A single crystal of [Pd(NH₃)₄]₃[Ir(NO₂)₆]₂·H₂O double complex salt is studied by X-ray diffraction.

[Co(amp)2Cl2]2[ZnCl4]体系中两对称异构体的2D NMR研究

The two symmetrical isomers in [Co(amp)₂Cl₂]₂[ZnCl₄](amp=2-(Aminomethyl)pyridine) system were syn-thesized by general oxidation method and were separated by chromatography and recrystallization method. Their configurations were assigned by using 2D NMR techniques, particularly the NOESY NMR spectra. Solvent used was Me₂SO-d₆ with the central peak of the CD₃ septet as the reference ( ₁₃C,δ 39.37; ₁H,δ 2.49 relative to SiMe₄). Cation exchange media used was Dowex 50Wx 2(H⁺ form, 200～400mesh; Biorad).     

A comparative study of [Co(NH3)5ONO]XY?[Co(NH3)5NO2]XY (XY=Cl2, Br2, I2, (NO3)2 Cl; NO3) solid-state isomerization kinetics

Quantitative IR investigation of solid-state [Co(NH₃)₅ONO]XY[Co(NH₃)₅NO₂]XY (XY=Cl₂, Br₂, I₂, (NO₃)₂ Cl; NO₃) linkage isomerization in KBr pellets has shown the kinetics to depend upon the outer-sphere anion. The red shift of the ₅(ONO) band during isomerization is a linear function of transformation degree.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [W3S4(Acac)3(PPh3)3]PF6 · 0.5CHCl3 and [W3S4(Hfac)3(PPh3)2Br] · 2CHCl3

New cluster complexes [W₃S₄(Acac)₃(PPh₃)₃]PF₆ · 0.5CHCl₃ (Acac = CH₃C(O)CHC(O)CH₃) (I) and [W₃S₄(Hfac)₃(PPh₃)₂Br] · 2CHCl₃ (Hfac = CF₃C(O)CHC(O)CF₃) (II) were synthesized. Their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The cis-cis type of coordination of acetylacetonate and hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands in I and II, respectively, was established, and the PPh₃ ligands were found in the trans-positions with respect to the “capping” sulfide ligand (μ³-S).     

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.     

Synthesis and structure of gold and copper complexes: [Ph3PhCH2P]+[AuCl4]?, [NH(C2H4OH)3]+[AuCl4]? · H2O, and [Ph3EtP] 2+ [Cu2Cl6]2?

Triphenylbenzylphosphonium tetrachloroaurate (I) and triethanolammonium tetrachloroaurate hydrate (II) were prepared by reacting tetrachloroauric acid in acetone with triphenylbenzylphosphonium and triethanolammonium, respectively. Triphenylethylphosphonium hexachlorodicuprate (III) was synthesized from triphenylethylphosphonium chloride and copper chloride in acetone. The crystal structures of complexes I to III were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The phosphorus atoms in complex I have a nearly undistorted tetrahedral coordination (CPC, 108.3°–110.6°; P-C, 1.788–1.793 ?). The coordination of nitrogen atoms in the cations of complex II is a distorted tetrahedron (CNC, 111.7°–112.4°). The square coordination of aurum in I and II is only slightly distorted: the ClAuCl angles are 89.6°–90.3° (I) and 89.5°–90.6° (II) and the Au-Cl distances are 2.256–2.278 ? I) and 2.280–2.285 ? (II). The phosphorus atoms in complex III are tetracoordinated (CPC, 106.34°–111.73°; P-C, 1.790–1.795 ?). The copper atoms in III have a distorted tetrahedral coordination (ClCuCl, 98.48°–144.85°; Cu-Cl, 2.1999–2.3263 ?). The central fragment Cu₂Cl₂ in the anion of complex III is bent relative to the Cu₂ axis (the chlorine atom deviates from the Cu₂Cl plane by 0.27 ?).

The complex [mer-In(H₂O)₃Cl₃] · 18C6 (I) was isolated from the InCl₃-H₂O-Solv-18C6 solutions (Solv = MeOH, EtOH, THF). The second crystallization from mother solutions resulted in [fac-In(H₂O)₃Cl₃] · 18C6 · 2H₂O (II). The crystal and molecular structures of isomers I, II were identified by the powder X-ray diffraction, IR, and X-ray diffraction methods. Although complexes I, II have different compositions, they have the chain structure. The thermal decomposition of complexes I, II was studied. Original Russian Text ? A.B. Ilykhin, Zh.V.

Dimolybdenum Complex Containing N–H···Mo Interactions. Synthesis and Structure of cis-[Mo2(HDpyF)2(CH3CN)4](BF4)4 and its Transformation to [Mo2(DpyF)2(py)4](BF4)2 [HDpyF?=?Bis(2-pyridyl)formamidine; py?=?pyridine]

The complex cis-[Mo₂(HDpyF)₂(CH₃CN)₄](BF₄)₄, 1, was prepared by the reaction of Mo₂(DpyF)₄ with HBF₄ in CH₃CN, in which new bonding mode of the HDpyF ligand and axial N–H···Mo interactions are observed. Reaction of 1 with pyridine afforded the complex trans-[Mo₂(DpyF)₂(py)₄](BF₄)₂, 2. In complex 1, the neutral bidentate HDpyF ligands bridge the metal centers through one of the amine nitrogen atoms and the adjacent pyridyl nitrogen atom, resulting in the s-trans-anti-s-trans conformation. The anionic DpyF⁻ ligands of 2 adopt the s-trans,s-trans conformation and are coordinated to the Mo centers in bidentate fashions through the two central nitrogen atoms and the two terminal nitrogen atoms are not coordinated. Dedicated to the memory of Professor F. A. Cotton, a great mentor and friend.     

EPR study of solid solutions of [Cr(NH3)5Cl]x[Rh(NH3)5Cl]1?x[PdCl4]·nH2O and [Cr(NH3)5Cl]x[Rh(NH3)5Cl]1?x[PtCl4] compounds

In order to determine the features of the structure of double complex salts (DCSs) of [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]×[MCl₄]·nH₂O, where M = Pd, Pt, n = 0, 1, the DCS solid solutions of palladium and platinum with isostructural DCSs containing the chloropentaammine rhodium cation, [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl] _x [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl]_1−x [MCl₄]·nH₂O, where x = 0.01–0.2, are synthesized and studied by the EPR method. DCSs with the isostructural chloropentaammine rhodium cation are used as a diluter for magneto concentrated systems. It is shown that DCS of platinum and anhydrous DCS of palladium have the identical environment of chromium ions. The EPR spectra of chromium ions for these compounds are described by the following spin Hamiltonian parameters: S = 3/2, g _xx = 1.987, g _yy = 1.987, g _zz = 1.985, D = 1660 Gs, E = 235 Gs. For the palladium complex containing crystalline water, the EPR spectra of chromium ions are described by the parameters: S = 3/2, g _xx = 1.984, g _yy = 1.984, g _zz = 1.984, D = 1060 Gs, E = 350 Gs. A decrease in the crystal field parameters for the aqueous palladium complex is caused by a redistribution of the electron density to the oxygen atom in the second sphere of the chromium ion environment.     

Synthesis,structure characterization and thermal properties of [Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(OOCCH2Bu)9(μ2-OH)3]2

Oxo/hydoxo zirconium(IV) complex of the general formula [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ has been isolated, when Zr(OⁱPr)₄ reacted with a 2-fold excess of 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at 103 and 153 K, showed that the studied compound crystallizes in hexagonal system (P6₃/m (no. 176)). Structure consists of dimers composed of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉] sub-units, linked by six μ₂-OH bridges. Infrared spectroscopic studies proved the presence of hydroxo groups in the structure of studied clusters and formation of different types of oxo/hydroxo bridges. The application of variable temperature infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the structure of this complex undergoes the phase transitions at 143–183 and 203–293 K. Comparison of spectral and crystallographic data suggests that these phase transitions might be related to changes in the strength of Zr–O bonds of μ₂-OH bridges linking complex sub-units, and change in symmetry of the crystal lattice (from hexagonal to trigonal). Analysis of thermogravimetric data showed that decomposition of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ proceeds with complete conversion to ZrO₂ (monoclinic form) between 603 and 803 K.

Double complex salts with [Ru(NH3)5Cl]2+ cation and [OsCl6]2? anion: Synthesis and properties. Crystal structure of [Ru(NH3)5Cl]2[OsCl6]Cl2

Double complex salts [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl][OsCl₆] and [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl]₂[OsCl₆]Cl₂ were prepared and characterized. An X-ray diffraction study showed that [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl][OsCl₆] is isostructural to the previously synthesized [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl][OsCl₆]. The structure of [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl]₂[OsCl₆]Cl₂ was solved by X-ray diffraction (a = 11.1849(8) ?, b = 7.9528(6) ?, c = 13.4122(9) ?; β = 99.765(2)°; V= 1175.75 ?³; space group C2/m; Z = 2). Thermolysis of the compounds under hydrogen and helium was studied. According to X-ray diffraction, nanosized metallic powders of the corresponding alloys are formed as the final products of thermolysis. The compositions of the obtained solid solutions are consistent with the phase diagram of the Ru-Os system.     

Sandwich-type Uranium-Substituted of Bismuthotungstate: Synthesis and Structure Determination of [Na(UO2)2(H2O)4(BiW9O33)2]13?

The sandwich-type [Na(UO₂)₂(H₂O)₄(BiW₉O₃₃)₂]¹³⁻ uranium (VI) has been synthesized by reacting the trivacant species of B-α-[BiW₉O₃₃]⁹⁻ with and investigated by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The X-ray single crystal analysis was carried out on Na₁₃[Na(UO₂)₂(H₂O)₄(BiW₉O₃₃)₂] · 33H₂O (I) which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pna2₁ with a = 33.8454(19) ?, b = 21.1484(12) ?, c = 13.2403(7) ?, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, and Z = 4. The polyanion consists of two lacunary B-α-[BiW₉O₃₃]⁹⁻ groups which sandwich two uranyl cations and one sodium cation. The uranium atoms adopt distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination, achieved by two equatorial bonds to each BiW₉O₃₃ unit and one external water ligand. The coordination of each uranium atom is evident by the shift of ν_as(W–O_b–W) and ν_as(Bi–O) stretching vibrational bonds.
