Electron diffraction and CNDO/2 investigation on the molecular structure of tetrafluoro-1,3-diselenetane (F2CSe)2

The molecular structure of tetrafluoro-1,3-diselenetane was determined in the gas phase by electron diffraction. A planar ring configuration with the following geometric parameters (r_g-values) was obtained:r(Se-C) = 1.968 ± 0.004 Å, r(C-F) = 1.353 ± 0.003 Å, ∠SeCSe = 98.5° ± 0.4°, ∠FCF = 106.3 ± 0.8°. SCF-MO calculations in the CNDO/2 approximation confirm the planarity of the four membered ring and give a plausible explanation for the remarkably short Se-C bond length in the ring which in spite of ring strain is shorter than in Se(CF₃)₂. There exists a strong bonding interaction between the diagonal selenium atoms which amounts to about one fourth of a normal single bond strength.     

Synthesis of the monosubstituted arylcyanoxime and its Na,Tl(I) and Ag(I) compounds

Nitrosation of 2-chlorophenyl acetonitrile with t-butylnitrite under basic conditions (Meyer reaction) resulted in a high-yield preparation of the first substituted arylcyanoxime, 2-chlorophenyl(oximino)acetonitrile, H(2Cl–PhCO) (HL). The obtained cyanoxime is readily deprotonated in solution by metal hydroxides or carbonates with the formation of yellow sodium, tetrabutylammonium, thallium(I) and silver(I) derivatives. The crystal structure of the Tl(I) complex was determined. Thallium(I) salt (TlL) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ n with a?=?3.8382(7), b?=?11.0065(18), c?=?20.901(4)?Å, and β?=?92.447(3)°, V?=?882.2(3) ų, Z?=?4; T?=?193?K (Mo?Kα radiation). The structure was solved by direct methods to a final R of 0.0689 (wR2?=?0.1650) for I?>?2σ(I). The crystal structure of the complex is a one-dimensional coordination polymer that consists of centrosymmetric [TlL]₂ dimers in which Tl₂O₂ rhombohedra are connected to each other at 90.72°. The crystal structure of TlL is an interesting example of the ruffled metal-organic network composed of Tl–O–Tl–O zigzag chains with close (3.838?Å) intermetallic distances comparable to those in metallic thallium (3.42?Å). The cyanoxime anion bridges metal centers and acts as a tridentate ligand where oxygen atoms of the oxime group bond to three different Tl(I) cations with three different bond lengths.     

Intra‐ and intermolecular Se...X (X = Se,O) interactions in selenium‐containing heterocycles: 3‐benzoylimino‐5‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐diselenazole

In the selenium‐containing heterocyclic title compound {systematic name: N‐[5‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐3H‐1,2,4‐diselenazol‐3‐ylidene]benzamide}, C₁₃H₁₃N₃O₂Se₂, the five‐membered 1,2,4‐diselenazole ring and the amide group form a planar unit, but the phenyl ring plane is twisted by 22.12 (19)° relative to this plane. The five consecutive N—C bond lengths are all of similar lengths [1.316 (6)–1.358 (6) Å], indicating substantial delocalization along these bonds. The Se...O distance of 2.302 (3) Å, combined with a longer than usual amide C=O bond of 2.252 (5) Å, suggest a significant interaction between the amide O atom and its adjacent Se atom. An analysis of related structures containing an Se—Se...X unit (X = Se, S, O) shows a strong correlation between the Se—Se bond length and the strength of the Se...X interaction. When X = O, the strength of the Se...O interaction also correlates with the carbonyl C=O bond length. Weak intermolecular Se...Se, Se...O, C—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions each serve to link the molecules into ribbons or chains, with the C—H...O motif being a double helix, while the combination of all interactions generates the overall three‐dimensional supramolecular framework.

The cell parameters are a = 16.697(4), c = 8.557(8) Å, Z = 2. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and was refined to a final R-value of 4.59%. Co^III is bidentally coordinated to three N,N-diethyl-N′-benzoylselenourea molecules to form a distorted octahedron with facial arrangement of the selenium and oxygen donor atoms. The Co? Se and Co? O bond lengths are 2.328(2) and 1.943(6) Å, respectively. The arrangement of the molecules within the unit cell leads to the formation of hexagonal channels parallel to the crystallographic c-axis. The wall of the channels is formed by carbon atoms of the phenyl group. The diameter of the channels is 8.148 Å.

The geometry of the anion in 4 shows a square-planar coordination of gold(III) by two chelating 1,2-benzenedithiolate ligands with Au? S distances between 2.299(3) and 2.312(3) Å (for two crystallographically independent, centrosymmetrical anions in the unit cell).

Contributions on thermal behaviour and crystal chemistry of anhydrous phosphates. XIX. Tri-chromium(II)-bis-phosphate Cr3(PO4)2 (≙ Cr6(PO4)4) – A transition metal(II)-orthophosphate with new structure type

Deep blue-violet single crystals of hitherto unknown chromous orthophosphate have been obtained reducing CrPO₄ by elemental Cr at temperatures above 1050°C in evacuated silica ampoules (NH₄I or I₂ as mineraliser). The complex structure of Cr₃(PO₄)₂ (P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 8, a = 8.4849(10) Å, b = 10.3317(10) Å, c = 14.206(2) Å) contains six crystallographically independent Cr²⁺ per unit cell. Five of them are coordinated by four oxygen atoms which form a distorted (roof shaped) square plane as first coordination sphere at interatomic distances 1.96 Å ? d(Cr? O) ? 2.15 Å. Their coordination is completed by additional oxygen atoms (2 or 3) at distances 2.32 Å ? d(Cr? O) ? 3.21 Å. The sixth Cr²⁺ shows six-fold octahedral coordination with strong radial distortion (d(Cr? O): 1.97, 2.04, 2.15, 2.28, 2.29, 2.53 Å). The four different [PO₄] groups exhibit only minor deviations from ideal tetrahedral geometry (1.51 Å ? d(P? O) ? 1.57 Å, 104.3° ? ∠(O? P? O) ? 114.4°). An unusually low magnetic moment μ_exp = 4.28(2) μ_B (θ_P = ?54.8(5) K) has been observed for Cr²⁺.

New synthetic pathways and the infrared spectrum of bis(fluorosulfonyl)difluoromethane, (SO₂F)₂CF₂, are reported. The geometric structure and conformational properties of the title compound have been studied by gas electron diffraction. Depending on the rotational position of the two SO₂F groups, four conformers with different symmetries can occur in this compound: C_2v symmetry, if both S? F bonds stagger the CF₂ group. C₂ or C_s symmetry, if one S?O bond of each group staggers the CF₂ group. The experimental electron diffraction intensities can be fitted equally well with a C₁ conformer or with a mixture of C_2v, C₂ and C_s conformers, in a ratio of 3:2:5.

The asymmetric unit of 2 contains two formula units, which are related by pseudosymmetry via a glide plane a. One half of four ATSC molecules act as in 1 , the rest as tridentate ligands, which coordinate the two copper atoms in apical positions with sulfate anions. This Cu–S coordination was to date unknown. The structure of the ATSC ligands contributes to the unexpected competitiveness of C=bond in the coordination sphere of Cu^I inspite of strong donor atoms.
