Über die Umsetzung von P4E3I2 (E = S,Se) mit einigen Carbonsäuren und Dithiocarbonsäuren

On the Reaction of P₄E₃I₂ (E = S, Se) with some Carboxylic Acids and Dithiocarbamic Acids By the reaction of α-P₄E₃I₂ (E = S, Se) with carboxylic acids, dithiobenzoic acid or dithiocarbamic acids in the presence of triethylamin or with (C₆H₅)₃SnR, or of β-P₄E₃I₂ with tin-organic compounds α-P₄E₃(I)R, α(β)-P₄E₃R₂ [R = ? OC(O)C₆H₅, ? OC(O)CH₃, ? SC(S)NC₅H₁₀, ? SC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂], α-P₄S₃(I)SC(S)C₆H₅, α-P₄S₃(SC(S)C₆H₅)₂ and β-P₄E₃(I)R (R = ? OC(O)C₆H₅, ? OC(O)CH₃) were prepared in solution and identified by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. In addition α-P₄S₃(NC₅H₁₀)(SC(S)NC₅H₁₀) was detected. The β-isomers could be obtained also with lesser yields by the reaction with the dithiocarbamic acids, too. The substitution of the second iodine ligand in β-P₄E₃I₂ resulted mainly in β-P₄S₃(R_exo)₂ and by inversion of the configuration at a phosphorus atom, in β-P₄E₃R_exoR_endo. α-P₄S₃I₂ reacted with methanol in CS₂ to α-P₄S₃(OCH₃)(SC(S)OCH₃) and α-P₄S₃(SC(S)OCH₃)₂. The ³¹P NMR data of the compounds are discussed. The ³¹P NMR spectra of the α(β)-P₄E₃ dithiocarbamates indicate dynamic processes in the solution, e. g. α-P₄S₃(I)(SC(S)NR₂) showed an intramolecular conversion, due to the anisobidentate dithiocarbamate ligand. This behaviour had not previously been noticed for compounds with a P₄S₃-skeleton.     

Synthetic applications of (Me3SiNSN)2E (E = S, Se) in chalcogen-nitrogen chemistry: formation and structural characterization of Cl2TeESN2 (E = S, Se) and [PPh4]2[Pd2(mu-Se2N2S)X4] (X = Cl, Br)

The reaction of (Me3SiNSN)2S with TeCl4 in CH2Cl2 affords Cl2TeS2N2 (1) and that of (Me3SiNSN)2Se with TeCl4 produces Cl2TeSeSN2 (2) in good yields. The products were characterized by X-ray crystallography, as well as by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy and EI mass spectrometry. The Raman spectra were assigned by utilizing DFT molecular orbital calculations. The pathway of the formation of five-membered Cl2TeESN2 rings by the reactions of (Me3SiNSN)2E with TeCl4 (E = S, Se) is discussed. The reaction of (Me3SiNSN)2Se with [PPh4]2[Pd2X6] yields [PPh4]2[Pd2(mu-Se2N2S)X4] (X = Cl, 4a; Br, 4b), the first examples of complexes of the (Se2N2S)2- ligand. In both cases, this ligand bridges the two palladium centers through the selenium atoms.     

Silylchalcogenolates MESiR(t)Bu(2) (M = Na, Cu, Zn, Fe; E = S, Se, Te; R = tBu, Ph) and disilyldichalcogenides tBu2RSiE-ESiRtBu2 (E = S, Se, Te; R = tBu, Ph): synthesis, properties, and structures

The sodium silyl chalcogenolates NaESiR(t)Bu(2) (R = Ph, (t)Bu; E = S, Se, Te), accessible by the nucleophilic degradation of S, Se, or Te by the sodium silanides NaSiR(t)Bu(2) (R = Ph, (t)Bu), have been characterized by X-ray structure analysis. Protonolysis of the sodium silyl chalcogenolates yields the corresponding chalcogenols. The Cu and Zn chalcogenolates, [Cu(SSiPh(t)Bu(2))](4) and [ZnCl(SSi(t)Bu(3))(THF)](2), have been synthesized by metathesis reactions of CuCl with NaSSiPh(t)Bu(2) and of ZnCl(2) with NaSSi(t)Bu(3), respectively. The solid-state structures of the transition metal thiolates have been determined. The compounds (t)Bu(2)RSiE-ESiR(t)Bu(2) (R = Ph, (t)Bu; E = S, Se, Te) are accessible via air oxidation. With the exception of (t)Bu(3)SiS-SSi(t)Bu(3), these compounds were analyzed using X-ray crystallography and represent the first structurally characterized silylated heavy dichalcogenides. Oxidative addition of (t)Bu(3)SiTe-TeSi(t)Bu(3) to Fe(CO)(5) yields [Fe(TeSi(t)Bu(3))(CO)(3)](2), which has also been structurally characterized.

The compounds were characterized by elementary analysis and their spectroscopie data. The structures of typical representatives of every class of compounds were confirmed by X-ray structure analysis.     

Five-, six- and eight-membered ring organosilicon chalcogenides of the types Z2(SiMe2)2E (Z = Me2Si, H2C; E = S, Se, Te), Z(SiMe2E)2MR2 (Z = Me2Si, H2C, O; E = S, Se, Te; M = Si, Ge, Sn, R = Me, Ph) and (SiMe2ZSiMe2E)2 (Z = Me2Si, H2C; E = S, Se)

Reactions of ClMe₂Si–Z–SiMe₂Cl (Z = SiMe₂ (1a), CH₂ (1c), O (1e)) with Li₂E (E = S, Se) yielded eight-membered ring compounds (SiMe₂ZSiMe₂E)₂ (3a–d) as well as acyclic oligomers (SiMe₂ZSiMe₂E)_x of different chain lengths. If 1:1 molar mixtures of 1a, 1c or 1e and a diorganodichlorosilane, -germane or -stannane (R₂MCl₂) are reacted with Li₂E (E = S, Se, Te), six-membered ring compounds Z(SiMe₂E)₂MR₂ (4a–7g) are formed exclusively. Five-membered rings Z₂(SiMe₂)₂E (Z = SiMe₂ (8a–c), CH₂ (9a–c); E = S, Se, Te) are obtained starting from the tetrasilane ClMe₂Si–(SiMe₂)₂–SiMe₂Cl (1b) or the disilylethane ClMe₂Si–(CH₂)₂–SiMe₂Cl (1d) by treatment with Li₂E. All products were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn, ⁷⁷Se, ¹²⁵Te, including coupling constants) and the effects of the different ring sizes towards NMR chemical shifts are discussed.

Reaction of [{Cp(CO)₃Mo}₂SbCl] with S₈ or Se₈ leads to the formation of cluster compounds [{Cp(CO)₂Mo}₂ESbCl] (E = S, Se). [{Cp(CO)₂Mo}₂SSbCl] crystallizes monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 812.28(3), b = 855.65(4), c = 2441.01(9) pm and β = 90.149(3)°; [{Cp(CO)₂Mo}₂SeSbCl] · CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes triclinic, space group P$\bar{1}$ with a = 828.82(9), b = 1002.8(1), c = 1340.0(2) and α = 109.24(1), β = 100.87(1), γ = 96.81(1)°. For both compounds X‐ray crystal structure analysis reveals tetrahedral Mo₂SbE cluster cores with Sb–E bond lengths of 256.8(1) pm (E = S) and 265.3(1) (E = Se). According to the 18 electron rule the [{Cp(CO)₂Mo}₂ESbCl] clusters can be regarded as complexes of the 4 electron donator ESbCl that is coordinated “side‐on” to a {Cp(CO)₂Mo}₂ fragment.

The psuedohalogens (ECN)₂ (E = S, Se) have been prepared by reaction of AgNCS with bromine and AgNCSe with iodine respectively. (SCN)₂ spontaneously polymerises to give polythiocyanogen a polymer of unknown structure with empirical formula (SCN)_x.

In addition we have prepared a series of late transition metal complexes of the cyanodithioimidocarbonate ion [C₂N₂S₂]^2? and the first transition metal complexes of the cyanodiselenocarbonate ion [C₂N₂Se₂]^2?.     

Über Oxidsulfide mit Åkermanitstruktur CaLaGa3S6O,SrLaGa3S6O,La2ZnGa2S6O und Sr2ZnGe2S6O

On Oxidesulfides of Åkermanitetype-Structure CaLaGa₃S₆O, SrLaGa₃S₆O, La₂ZnGa₂S₆O, and Sr₂ZnGe₂S₆O The oxide sulfides were prepared for the first time (space group and lattice constants see “Inhaltsübersicht”). The atomic positions were refined from single crystal X-ray data for CaLaGa₃S₆O and La₂ZnGa₂S₆O. Problems concerning the metal distribution on the crystallographic positions are discussed by comparing interatomic distances. The ratio c/a of the new compounds is compared with that of isotypic compounds from literature.     

Growth of Sb(2)E(3) (E = S, Se) polygonal tubular crystals via a novel solvent-relief-self-seeding process

A novel solvent-relief-self-seeding (SRSS) process was applied to grow bulk polygonal tubular single crystals of Sb(2)E(3) (E = S, Se), using SbCl(3) and chalcogen elements E (E = S, Se) as the raw materials at 180 degrees C for 7 days in ethanol solution. The products were characterized by various techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), transmission electronic microscope (TEM), electronic diffraction (ED), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The calculated electrical resistivities of the tubular single crystals in the range 20-320 K were of the order of 10(5)-10(6) Omega cm for Sb(2)S(3) and 10(3)-10(4) Omega cm for Sb(2)Se(3), respectively. The studies of the optical properties revealed that the materials formed had a band gap of 1.72 eV for Sb(2)S(3) and 1.82 eV for Sb(2)Se(3), respectively. The optimal reaction conditions for the growth of bulk tubular single crystals were that the temperature was not lower than 180 degrees C and the reaction time was not shorter than 7 days. The possible growth mechanism of tubular crystals was also discussed.     

Electronic Structure of Chalcogen Dichlorides ECl2 (E = S,Se, Te)

The electronic structure of the molecules of chalcogen dichlorides ECl₂ (E = S, Se, Te) was investigated by X-ray spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations in the X(SW) approximation. The sequence of the energy levels in the ECl₂ molecules was determined. The nature of the bonding in the various orbitals of the molecules in the SCl₂SeCl₂TeCl₂ series was established. The reasons for the reduced chemical stability of the SeCl₂ molecule and the nonexistence of the TeCl₂ molecule in the individual state are indicated.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von heteronuklearen AgI/FeII‐Koordinationspolymeren: (Me3PhN)2[Ag2Fe(SCN)6], (Me3PhN)6[Ag6Fe3(ECN)18] (E = S,Se) und (Me3PhN)4[Ag2Fe(SCN)8]

The reaction of AgSCN with (Me₃PhN)₃[Fe(NCS)₆] in DMF yields two‐dimensional polymeric, heteronuclear complexes (Me₃PhN)₂[Ag₂Fe(SCN)₆] ( 1 ) and (Me₃PhN)₆[Ag₆Fe₃(SCN)₁₈] · CH₂Cl₂·DMF ( 2a ) with bridging SCN^? ligands, whereas additional (Me₃PhN)(SCN) leads to (Me₃PhN)₄[Ag₂Fe(SCN)₈] ( 3 ) with a one‐dimensional structure. The selenocyanato complex 2b , homologous to 2a , could also be prepared. Single crystal X‐ray structure determinations show, that the Ag⁺ ions in 1 and 2a are coordinated tetrahedrally by four S atoms, in 3 by one N and three S atoms of the bridging SCN^? ligands; six N atoms of the SCN^? or SeCN^? ligands bind to Fe²⁺ in an octahedral arrangement.

Synthesis and photoelectron spectroscopic studies of N(CH2CH2NMe)3P=E (E = O, S, NH, CH2)

The synthesis and the crystal and molecular structure of N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=CH(2) is reported. The P-N(ax) distance is rather long in N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=CH(2). The ylide N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=CH(2) proved to be a stronger proton acceptor than proazaphosphatrane N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P, since it was shown to deprotonate N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)PH(+). The extremely strong basicity of the ylide is in accordance with its low ionization energy (6.3 eV), which is the lowest in the presently investigated series N(CH(2)CH(2)NMe)(3)P=E (E: CH(2), NH, lone pair, O and S), and to the best of our knowledge it is the smallest value observed for a non-conjugated phosphorus ylide. Computations reveal the existence of two bond strech isomers, and the stabilization of the phosphorus centered cation by electron donation from the equatorial and the axial nitrogens. Similar stabilizing effects operate in the case of protonation of E. A fine balance of these different interactions determines the P-N(ax) distance, which is thus very sensitive to the level of the theory applied. According to the quantum mechanical calculations, methyl substitution at the equatorial nitrogens flattens the pyramidality of this atom, increasing its electron donor capability. As a consequence, the PN(ax) distance in the short-transannular bonded protonated systems and the radical cations is longer by about 0.5 A in the N(eq)(Me) than in the N(eq)(H) systems. Accordingly, isodesmic reaction energies show that a stabilization of about 25 and 10 kcal/mol is attributable to the formation of the transannular bond in case of N(eq)(H) and the experimentally realizable N(eq)(Me) species, respectively.
