Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXII [1]. Synthese und Struktur des 1, 3-Dimethyl-2,2,4,4-tetrakis-(trimethylsilylsulfano)-1,3-diphosphetans

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXII. Synthesis and Structure of 1, 3-Dimethyl-2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilylsulfano)-1,3-diphosphetane At ?30°C methylbis(trimethylsilyl)phosphine reacts with carbon disulfide to give a red adduct first which rearranges to [bis(trimethylsilylsulfano)methylidene]methylphosphine 1a . In contrast to the thermally stable phenyl derivative 1b [2], this compound with its insufficiently shielded P?C group dimerizes fast with increasing temperature. 1,3-Dimethyl-2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilylsulfano)-1,3-diphosphetane 2a formed by this reaction, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with following dimensions of the unit cell, determined at a temperature of measurement of ?80 ± 3°C: a = 1024.7(3); b = 1360.2(5); c = 1326.3(6)pm; α = 117.85(4); ß = 111.05(3); γ = 72.09(3)°; Z = 2. Due to ring folding at the P1? P2 axis of 149.1°, the molecule shows pseudosymmetry C_s. Characteristic averaged bond lengths and angles obtained at an R_w-value of 0.030, are: P? C(endocyclic) 188 and 191; P? CH₃ 184; C? S 183; S? Si 216 pm; C? P? CH₃ 105; P? C? S 113; S? C? S 114; C? S? Si 108; P? C? P 90 and C? P? C 86°.     

Tetraarylester der μ-Imidodiphosphorsäure und ihre Thioderivate — Strukturuntersuchungen

Tetraarylesters of μ-Imido-Diphosphoric Acid and its Thio Derivatives — Structure Investigations New O,O′,O″,O?-tetratolyl- and ditolyl-diphenylesters of the μ-imido-diphosphoric acid and its mono and dithio derivatives were synthesized, compared with the corresponding tetraphenylesters and investigated by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. Structures of the O,O′,O″,O?-tetrakis-(2-methyl-phenyl)-μ-imidodiphosphate, 1b , as well as of the corresponding ortho-, meta- and para-tolylesters of the μ-imido-monothiodiphosphoric acid ( 2a , 2b , 2c ) were determined. All the compounds form dimers via N? H…?O hydrogen bonds in the crystal as well as in nonpolar solvents. The distances around the phosphorus atoms rise with decreasing electronegativity of the phosphorus substituents. Signs of the ²J_{P? N? P} coupling constants were determined by ¹³C{¹H, ³¹P} triple resonance experiments for some compounds. These constants become more negative owing to substitution of a phosphoryl by a thiophosphoryl group.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonan-O2,O5) lithium-methylphosphanid] — eine Verbindung mit meso-Helix-Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵) lithium-methylphosphanide] — a Compound with a meso-Helix Structure Studies of Fritz et al. [10] showed methylphosphane to be lithiated at ?60°C in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether solution by stoichiometric amounts of lithium n-butanide in n-hexane. After removing the hydrocarbons almost completely by distillation and cooling the solutions to ?60°C again, colourless square crystals of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium ( 1 ) and (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵)lithium methylphosphanide ( 2 ) precipitate. As shown by an X-ray structure determination (monoclinic, P2₁/n; a = 805.5(1); b = 1820.6(2); c = 851.5(1) pm; β = 116.76(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; R = 0.034) complex 2 forms a polymer which has the shape of an up to now scarcely noted meso-helix. Four-coordinated lithium is bound to two phosphorus (P? Li 252.9 and 253.2 pm; P? Li? P 131.8°; Li? P? Li 132.1°) and to two oxygen atoms (Li? O 203.9 and 206.8; O …? O 270.7 pm; O? Li? O 82.5°) of the inherently tridentate 2,5,8-trioxanonane ligand. As compared to the standard value (185 pm) the P? C distance (187.4 pm) is slightly lengthened. Structure determinations of (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵,O⁸) lithium 1-(phenylsulfonyl)alkyl compounds published some years ago [26, 27], allow a comparison of molecular parameters characteristic for the twofold or threefold coordinating chelate ligand.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VII. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethan-N,N′]lithium-disilylphosphanid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VII. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium Disilylphosphanide — Synthesis and Structure Crystalline lithium phosphanides studied so far show a remarkably high diversity of structure types dependent on the ligands at lithium and the substituents at phosphorus. Bis[1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane-N,N′]lithium disilylphosphanide ( 1 ) discussed here, belongs to the up to now small group of compounds which are ionic in the solid state. It is best prepared from silylphosphane by twofold lithiation with lithium dimethylphosphanide first and subsequent monosilylation with silyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by complexation. As found by X-ray structure determination (wR = 0.038) on crystals obtained from diethyl ether {monoclinic; space group P2₁/c; a = 897.8(1); b = 1 673.6(2); c = 1 466.8(1) pm; β = 90.73(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}, the lithium cation is tetrahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane molecules. Characteristic parameters of the disilylphosphanide anion are a shortened average P? Si bond length of 217 pm (standard value 225 pm) and a Si? P? Si angle of 92.3°.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VI. Lithium- und (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium-cyantrimethylsilylamid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VI. Lithium and (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium Cyanotrimethylsilylamide — Syntheses and Structures At different temperatures N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide ( 1 ) and lithium methanide react either under addition or substitution. When compound 1 , however, is treated at ?40°C with an equimolar amount of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 2 ) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, only exchange of one trimethylsilyl group versus lithium is observed and in addition to phosphane and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane a very pure lithium derivative insoluble in n-pentane can be isolated. The vibrational spectra prove the compound to be lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ). Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran (+40/+20°C) yields (tetrahydrofuran)lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ′). As shown by an X-ray structure analysis {C2/c; a = 2 261.1(5); b = 1 106.4(2); c = 1 045.9(2) pm; β = 113.63(1)°; Z = 8 formula units}, compound 3 ′ is polymeric in the solid state. Coordinative Li? N2′ bonds allow a head-to-tail addition of two monomeric units each to give an eight-membered heterocycle with two linear N1? C2≡N2 fragments (N1? C2 126.1; C2≡N2 117.5; N1? Si 171.4; Li? N1 203.2; Li? N2′ 206.1 pm; C2? N1? Li 109.0; N1? Li? N2′ 115.9; N2≡C2? N1 177.2°). Forming planar four-membered Li? N2? Li? N2 rings (Li? N2″″ 198.3 pm; Li′? N2? Li″ 80.3; N2′? Li? N2″″ 99.5°) these heterocycles polymerize to slightly folded tapes.     

The Tetraphenylester of the μ-Imido-Dithiodiphosphoric Acid and its palladium complex — crystal structures

The preparations of [(C₆H₅O)₂PS]₂NH ( SS ) and its Pd complex [Pd{C₆H₅O₂P(S)NP(S)(OC₆H₅) ₂}₂] ( PDSS ) are described. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and mass spectra and X-ray structure analysis. The structure of SS contains two independent molecules in an asymmetric unit which are joined into dimers via N …? H …? S hydrogen bonds. SS is a Br?nsted acid And reacts with Pd^II to a neutral chelate complex. The structure of PDSS is composed of isolated molecules with Pd atom in the center of symmetry. The Pd atom is coordinated by 4 S atoms in a distorted square-planar arrangement with average distance Pd? S 2.345(6) Å and an angle S? Pd? S 98.29(4)°.     

Alkylidinphosphane und -arsane. I [P ≡ C?S]−[Li(dme)3]+ – Synthese und Struktur

Alkylidynephosphanes and -arsanes. I [P ≡ C? S]^?[Li(dme)₃]⁺ – Synthesis and Structure O,O′-Diethyl thiocarbonate and bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, react below 0°C to give ethoxy trimethylsilane and tris(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium 2λ³-phosphaethynylsulfanide – [P≡C? S]^? [Li(dme)₃]⁺ – ( 1a ). Apart from bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfane or carbon oxide sulfide, dark red concentrated solutions of λ³-phosphaalkyne 1 are also obtained from reactions of carbon disulfide with bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide or with the homologous lithoxy-methylidynephosphane ( 2 ) [1]. The ir spectrum shows two absorptions at 1762 and 747 cm^?1 characteristic for the P≡C and C? S stretching vibrations. The nmr parameters {δ(³¹P) ? 121.3; δ(¹³C) 190.8 ppm; ¹J_CP 18.2 Hz} resemble much more values of diorganylamino-2λ³-phosphaalkynes than those of bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxy-methylidyne-phosphane ( 2a ). As found by an X-ray structure analysis (P2₁/c; a = 1192.6(16); b = 1239.1(19); c = 1414.8(26) pm; β = 105.91(13)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; wR = 0.064) of pale yellow crystals (mp. + 16°C) isolated from the reaction with O,O′-diethyl thiocarbonate, the solid is built up of separate [P≡C? S]^? and [Li(dme)₃]⁺ ions. Typical bond lengths and angles are: P≡C 155.5(11); C? S 162.0(11); Li? O 206.4(17) to 220.3(20) pm; P≡C? S 178.9(7)°.

Novel Coordination Compounds of 2-(Diisopropylamino)-1-phosphaethyne: [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] 2-(Diisopropylamino)-phosphaethyne iPr₂N? C?P ( 2 ) reacts with the Ni(0)-complexes [Ni(1,5-cyclooctadiene)₂] and [Ni(CO)₃(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)], respectively, to give the novel complex [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 5 ), with the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene derivative and 2 (side-on) as π-ligands. The molecular structure of 5 determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals proves the spin systems and rotational barriers deduced from NMR-data (¹H, ¹³C-, ³¹P). The PC distances of the four-membered ring of 1.817(2) and 1.818(2) Å – as expected – are considerably longer than the PC bond of the η²-coordinated phosphaalkyne 2 [1.671(2) Å]. – In the reactions of 2 with [(Ph₃P)₂Pt(C₂H₄)] or [Co₂(CO)₈] the ligand properties of 2 resemble those of alkynes affording the complexes [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 7 ) with side-on coordinated 2 and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] with 2 acting as a 4e donor bridge in quantitative yield. In attempts to prepare copper(I) complexes of the aminophosphaalkyne 2 by reaction with CuCl or CuI the only isolable product formed in reasonable amounts under the influence of air and moisture is the 1 λ³, 3 λ⁵-diphosphetene (iPr₂N) ( 10 ) (isolated yield: ca. 20%). The crystal structure analysis of 10 indicates a strong structural relationship to the diamino-2-phosphaallyl cation [Me(iPr₂N)]⁺ ( 12 ), the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene ligand (iPr₂NCP)₂ in the binuclear complex [{η¹, μ²-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni₂(CO)₆] ( 3a ) as well as to the heterocycles (dme)₂LiOE₂′ (E′ = S, 11a ; E′ = Se, 11b ) prepared by Becker et al. [11b, 35].     

Synthesis of 2‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐6,7‐dimethoxy‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline and pseudosymmetry in its crystal structure

Natural and synthetic isoquinoline alkaloids display a wide variety of potent biological activities. The title 1‐aryl‐2‐hydroxyethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline, C₁₉H₂₃NO₄, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit related by pseudo‐translation but differing only slightly in conformation. The pseudosymmetry is also reflected in the diffraction pattern. The subset of reflections corresponding to the smaller cell and average structure are on average twice as intense as those subtending the larger cell. Tentative refinement in the subcell leads to a disordered structural model with satisfactory agreement factors and, after appropriate use of restraints, acceptable molecular geometry but significantly larger and more anisotropic displacement parameters. In the correct unit cell, the independent molecules differ with respect to the orientation of the hydroxyethyl group. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the hydroxyphenyl group and the N atom.

Cyclic Diazastannylenes. XXXII. On the Synthesis and Reactivity of Difunctional Cyclosilagermadiazanes—Formation of Digermanes The cyclic bisaminostannylene Me₂Si(t-BuN)₂Sn 1 reacts with tetrahalides of germanium GeX₄(X = Cl, Br, I) forming the bisaminodihalogengermanes 2a, 2b and 2c. The halogen atoms of the compounds 2 may be substituted by alkyl-, amino- and pseudohalide groups: Me₂Si(t-BuN)₂GeXY (X = Y = N₃ 3 ; X = Br, Y = Me 4 , Y = t-Bu 6 , Y = N(SiMe₃)₂ 8a , Y = NEt₂ 9 ; X = Me, Y = N₃ 5a , Y = CN 5b ; X = N₃, Y = t-Bu 7 , Y = N(SiMe₃)₂ 10 ; X = I, Y = N(SiMe₃)₂ 8b ). Reduction of the compounds 2b and 4 with sodium naphthalide generates the digermanes (Me₂Si(t-BuN)₂GeR)₂ (with R = Br 11 , R = Me 12 ) Compound 8b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 8 and lattice constants a = 16.205(8), b = 19.854(9), c = 17.537(9) Å, β = 107.50(9)°.

Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethan-O,O′)lithium-phosphanid, -arsanid und -chlorid – drei neue Vertreter des Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethan-O,O′)lithium-bromid-Typs

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IX. Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Phosphanide, Arsanide, and Chloride – Three New Representatives of the Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Bromide Type Experiments to obtain thermally unstable lithium silylphosphanide at –60 °C from a 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution resulted in the isolation of its dismutation product bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 1 ). The homologous arsanide 2 precipitated after a frozen solution of arsane in the same solvent had been treated with lithium n-butanide at –78 °C. Unexpectedly, too, the analogous chloride 3 and bromide 4 were formed in reactions of 1-chloro-2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1λ³-phosphaethene with (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)stibanide and of lithium 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1λ³-phosphol-3-ide with ω-bromostyrene, respectively. The monomeric complexes 1 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1391.1(4); b = 809.8(2); c = 1249.1(3) pm; β = 102.84(2)°}, 2 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1398.3(4); b = 819.8(3); c = 1258.5(4) pm; β = 103.35(2)°} and 3 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1308.4(2); b = 788.2(1); c = 1195.6(1) pm; β = 95.35(1)°} crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four solvated ion pairs in the unit cell; they are isotypic with bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bromide ( 4 ) {–73 ± 2 °C; a = 1319.0(2); b = 794.1(1); c = 1214.3(2) pm; β = 96.22(1)°}, already studied by Rogers et al. [13] at room temperature. The neutral complexes show a trigonal bipyramidal configuration of symmetry C₂, pnicogenanide or halide anions occupying equatorial sites {Li–P 260.4(4); Li–As 269.8(6); Li–Cl 238.6(7); Li–Br 256.3(10) pm} and the chelate ligands spanning equatorial and axial positions {Li–O_eq 205.4(4) to 207.4(4); Li–O_ax 208.9(3) to 215.5(2) pm}. The coordination within the (dme)₂Li fragment, the Li–X distances (X = P, As, Cl, Br), the structure of the chelate rings, and the packing of the neutral complexes are discussed in detail.     

Über die Verbindung Sr7Mn4O15 und Beziehungen zur Struktur von Sr2MnO4 und α-SrMnO3

On the Compound Sr₇Mn₄O₁₅ and Structure Relations to Sr₂MnO₄ and α-SrMnO₃ The “compound” hitherto described as a α modification of Sr₂MnO₄ is shown to consist of a mixture of SrO and the new monoclinic compound Sr₇Mn₄O₁₅ crystallizing in the space group P 2₁/c, a = 681.78(6), b = 962.24(8), c = 1038.0(1) pm, β = 91.886(7)°, Z = 2. Up to 0.3 mm long black crystals were grown from prereacted Sr₇Mn₄O₁₅, SrO, and SrCl₂ at 1350°C in a sealed platinum tube under argon. Its structure is related to α-SrMnO₃. It contains layers of cornershared double octahedra [O_2/2OMnO₃MnO₂O_1/2]^7? parallel to (100). Above 100 K the magnetism of Sr₇Mn₄O₁₅ follows the Curie Weiss law with Θ ～ -426 K and a moment μ_eff = 3.62 μ_B corresponding Mn⁴⁺.     

The O–H···O, O–H···N and C–H···O hydrogen bonds in 1,4-dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine monohydrate

1,4-Dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine (1-carboxymethyl-1,4-dimethylpiperazinium inner salt, MBPZ) crystallizes as monohydrate. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pccn. Two MBPZ molecules and two water molecules form a cyclic oligomer, (MBPZ·H₂O)₂. The O–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds are of 2.769(1) and 2.902(1) Å, respectively. The dimers interact with the neighboring molecules through the C–H···O hydrogen bonds of 3.234(1) Å. The piperazine ring assumes a chair conformation with the N(4)–CH₃ and N⁺(1)–CH₂COO⁻ groups in the equatorial position and the N⁺(1)–CH₃ group in the axial one. The FTIR spectrum is compared with that calculated by the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory.     

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐dien‐ und 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl‐Komplexe des Rhodiums und Iridiums

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene and 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl Complexes of Rhodium and Iridium The complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)RhCl]₂ ( 1 ) (C₇H₁₂ = 2, 4‐dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene) and [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)₂IrCl] ( 2 ) were obtained by interaction of C₇H₁₂ with [(η²‐C₂H₄)₂RhCl]₂ and [(η²‐cyclooctene)₂IrCl]₂, respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with CpTl (Cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅) yields the compounds [CpM(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)] ( 3a : M = Rh; 3b : M = Ir). The hydride abstraction at the pentadiene ligand of 3a , b with Ph₃CBF₄ proceeds differently depending on the solvent. In acetone or THF the “half‐open” metallocenium complexes [CpM(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)]BF₄ ( 4a : M = Rh; 4b : M = Ir) are obtained exclusively. In dichloromethane mixtures are produced which additionally contain the species [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)M(η⁵‐C₅H₄CPh₃)]BF₄ ( 5a : M = Rh; 5b : M = Ir) formed by electrophilic substitution at the Cp ring, as well as the η³‐2, 4‐dimethylpentenyl compound [(η³‐C₇H₁₃)Rh{η⁵‐C₅H₃(CPh₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 6 ). By interaction of 2, 4‐dimethylpentadienyl potassium with 1 or 2 the complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)M(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)] ( 7a : M = Rh; 7b : M = Ir) are generated which show dynamic behaviour in solution; however, attempts to synthesize the “open” metallocenium cations [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)₂M]⁺ by hydride abstraction from 7a , b failed. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopically, 4b and 5a also by X‐ray structure analysis.     

Polysulfonylamine. LXXXIV [1]. Zur Isotypie in den Dimesylamid-Komplexreihen [M(H2O)4{(CH3SO2)2N}2] (MMg,Ca, Ni,Cu, Zn,Cd) und [M(py)4{(CH3SO2)2N}2] (MNi,Cu, Zn,Cd)

Polysulfonylamines. LXXXIV. Isotypic Structures in the Dimesylamide Complex Series [M(H₂O)₄{(CH₃SO₂)₂N}₂] (M?Mg, Ca, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) and [M(py)₄{(CH₃SO₂)₂N}₂] (M?Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) The crystal structures of the trans-octahedral complexes [M(H₂O)₄{(CH₃SO₂)₂N}₂] (M?Ca, Cd), in which the dimesylamide anion acts as a monodentate O-ligand and a tetrafunctional hydrogen bond acceptor, were determined by low-temperature X-ray diffraction. Both belong to an isotypic series (triclinic, space group P1 , Z = 1) that had previously been characterized for M?Mg, Ni, Cu and Zn (Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 1996 , 622, 1065). In this structure there exists an extended network of strong hydrogen bonds which is probably the underlying reason why the structure type surprisingly persists across the whole series. To support this explanation by indirect evidence from comparison with suitable structures devoid of strong hydrogen bonding, the analogous trans-octahedral complexes [M(py)₄{(CH₃SO₂)₂N}₂] (M?Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) were prepared by treating M[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₂ with pyridine, and the crystal structures of the Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd compounds were studied by low-temperature X-ray crystallography. As anticipated, the four pyridine complexes do not form an isotypic series but instead two isotypic pairs consisting of the Ni and Zn compounds (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z =2) and of the Cu and Cd complexes (triclinic, space group P1, Z = 1). All molecules of the aqua and the pyridine complexes display crystallographic centrosymmetry. In the hydrates, the mean M? OH₂ and the M? O(anion) distances are 232.6 and 232.7 pm for M ? Ca, 225.5 and 230.3 pm für M ? Cd. The mean M? N and the M? O(anion) bond lengths of the pyridine species amount to 211.8 and 213.1 pm for M ? Ni, 217.0 and 218.5 pm for M ? Zn, 232.8 and 234.4 pm for M ? Cd; the corresponding values for the severely Jahn-Teller distorted Cu complex are 203.6 and 254.5 pm. In the crystals of the pyridine complexes, each methyl group is connected through a weak C? H…?O bond to a sulfonyl oxygen atom of an adjacent molecule.     

Polytypie und Phasenbreite der Yttriumcarbidbromide 1T- und 3R—Y2Br2C1–x

The Polytypism and Phase Width of the Yttrium Carbide Bromides 1T? Y₂Br₂C_1–x and 3R? Y₂Br₂C_1–x Y₂Br₂C crystallizes in two modifications, 1T? Y₂Br₂C and 3 R? Y₂Br₂C. These are temperature polytypes, and 1 T? Y₂Br₂C is the high temperature form. The transition temperature is 1 400 K. Both modifications show a range of homogeneity with Y₂Br₂C_1–x (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3). For decreasing carbon content the c-lattice parameter increases, the colour of the compound changes from brown-black to bright-silver and the electrical conductivity changes from semiconducting to metallic behaviour. Extended Hueckel calculations indicate metallic conductivity for x > 0 to arise from the occupation of Y? Y metal bonding states above the gap.     

Bis(benzoylpyridin-p-toluensulfonylhydrazido)nickel Ni(BPSH)2 · H2O — Beziehungen zwischen Struktur und Redox- bzw. Extraktionsverhalten heterocyclischer Sulfonamidochelate

Bis(benzoylpyridin-toluensulfonylhydrazido)nickel Ni(BPSH)₂ · H₂O — Relations between Structure, Redox, and Extraction Properties of Heterocyclic Sulfonamido Chelates The crystal structure of Ni(BPSH)₂ · H₂O was determined by x-ray diffraction: monoclinic, space group P21/c (Nr. 14); a = 15.077(4) Å, b = 14.901(3) Å, c = 16.335(3) Å, β = 95.74(1)°. R = 0.047 for a total of 5564 observed reflexions. Ni(BPSH)₂ · H₂O has a distorted tetrahedral structure with two six-membered chelate rings, one of them with a boat from. The electron system of the building blocks CNN^? within the chelate rings approaches that of a diazallyl group. The result is a high electron density on the sp²-hybridized donor atom N^? and, as a consequence, a short Ni? N^?-distance (1.908 or 1.924 Å). The electronic properties of N^? also explain the high NH-acidity of the acid H(BPSH) (pk_s = 9,51 in 75 per cent dioxane) and the ligand field strength of BPSH^? which is low compared to that of other bidentate sulfonamido ligands and which is reflected in the paramagnetism of Ni(BPSH)₂ · H₂O. The redox behavior of metal chelates of the type, which is represented by Ni(BPSH)₂ · H₂O, is caused by a building block of the ligand which is also present in bipyridyl or in the 1,4-diaza-1,3-dienes. The central atoms M¹¹ have only the function of interference factors.     

(O,O′)-Diorganodithiophosphatophenyltellur(II)- und Tris[(O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV)-Verbindungen; Kristallstruktur von Tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV)

(O,O′)-Diorganodithiophosphatophenyltellurium(II)- and Tris[(O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphato]phenyltellurium(IV) Compounds; Crystal Structure of Tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellur(IV) The title compounds are available by reaction of trichlorophenyltellurium(IV) respectively iodophenyltellurium(II) with the sodium or ammonium salts of (O,O′)-diorganodithiophosphorus acids in various solvents. The resulting tellurium(IV) compounds have a pronounced tendency towards reductive elimination of bis[(O,O′)-diorganothiophosphoryl]disulfanes [S₂P(OR)₂]₂ in solution. In contrast, the tellurium(II) compounds are stable, although they are disintegrated to diphenylditellane and [S₂P(OR)₂]₂ on prolonged standing in chlorinated hydrocarbons. Crystals of tris[(O,O′)-diphenyldithiophosphato]phenyltellurium(IV) are monoclinic (space group P2₁/c) with the cell constants: a = 1 039.2(1), b = 1 037.9(3), c = 4 205.0(1) pm, β = 95.273(1)°, V = 4 516.42(9)X10⁶ pm³, Z = 4. The compound appears to be monomeric in the solid state forming a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The stereochemical influence of the lone pair of electrons causes the axial (i. e. C1? Te? S4) angle to be 156.6(1)° rather than the theoretical 180°.

Schiff Base in Ketoamine Form and Rh(η4-cod)-Schiff Base Complex with Z′ = 2 Structure from Pairwise C-H···Metallochelate-π Contacts

Condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (salicylaldehyde) or 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with 2-ethylaniline yields the Schiff base compound of (E)-2-(((2-ethylphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL¹) or (E)-1-(((2-ethylphenyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (HL²), which in turn react with the dinuclear complex of [Rh(η⁴-cod)(µ-O₂CCH₃)]₂ (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) to afford the mononuclear (η⁴-cod){(E)-2-(((2-ethylphenyl)imino)methyl)phenolato-κ²N,O}rhodium(I), [Rh(η⁴-cod)(L¹)] (1) or (η⁴-cod){(E)-1-(((2-ethylphenyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-olato-κ²N,O}rhodium(I), [Rh(η⁴-cod)(L²)] (2) (L¹ or L² = deprotonated Schiff base ligand). The X-ray structure determination revealed that the HL² exists in the solid state not as the usual (imine)N···H-O(phenol) form (enolamine form) but as the zwitterionic (imine)N-H⁺···^–O(phenol) form (ketoamine form). ¹H NMR spectra for HL² in different solvents demonstrated the existence of keto-enol tautomerism (i.e., keto ⇆ enol equilibrium) in solution. The structure for 1 and 2 showed that the deprotonated Schiff base ligand coordinates to the Rh(η⁴-cod)-fragment as a six-membered N^O-chelate around the rhodium atom with a close-to-square-planar geometry. Two symmetry-independent molecules (with Rh1 and Rh2) were found in the asymmetric unit in 1 in a structure with Z’ = 2. The supramolecular packing in HL² was organized by π-π and C-H···π contacts, while only two recognized C-H···π contacts were revealed in 1 and 2. Remarkably, there were reciprocal or pairwise C-H···π contacts between a pair of each of the symmetry-independent molecules in 1. This pairwise C-H contact to the Rh-N^O chelate (metalloaromatic) ring may be a reason for the two symmetry-independent molecules in 1. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses revealed an irreversible phase transformation from the crystalline-solid to the isotropic-liquid phase and subsequently confirmed the thermal stability of the compounds. Absorption spectra in solution were explained by excited state properties from DFT/TD-DFT calculations.
