The Binary Group 4 Azides [PPh4]2[Zr(N3)6] and [PPh4]2[Hf(N3)6]

The binary zirconium and hafnium polyazides [PPh₄]₂[M(N₃)₆] (M=Zr, Hf) were obtained in near quantitative yields from the corresponding metal fluorides MF₄ by fluoride–azide exchange reactions with Me₃SiN₃ in the presence of two equivalents of [PPh₄][N₃]. The novel polyazido compounds were characterized by their vibrational spectra and their X‐ray crystal structures. Both anion structures provide experimental evidence for near‐linear M‐N‐N coordination of metal azides. The species [M(N₃)₄], [M(N₃)₅]^? and [M(N₃)₆]^2? (M=Ti, Zr, Hf) were studied by quantum chemical calculations at the electronic structure density functional theory and MP2 levels.

Pseudohalogeno Metal Compounds. LXXVIII. Structures of Planar and Tetrahedral Tetrafulminato Metal Complexes: [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Ni(CNO)₄], [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Pt(CNO)₄], and [N(C₃H₇)₄]₂ [Zn(CNO)₄] The crystals contain the tetrafulminatometallates of an ideal square planar structure ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–) with D_4h symmetry at the nickel and platinum atom and a tetrahedron ([Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) with perfect T_d symmetry at the zinc atom and with linear C≡N–O ligands. The metal carbon bonds (Ni–C: 187 pm, Pt–C: 200 pm, Zn–C: 201 pm) of the metal fulminates are very close to those of the corresponding cyano complexes. In the crystals the anions ([Ni(CNO)₄]^2–, [Pt(CNO)₄]^2–, [Zn(CNO)₄]^2–) are separated by the cations ([N(C₃H₇)₄]⁺) which explains the thermal stability of these compounds.

Chloro- und Polyselenoselenate(II) Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [Ph3(C2H4OH)P]2[SeCl4] · MeCN, [Ph4P]2[Se2Cl6] und [Ph4P]2[Se(Se5)2]

Chloro- and Polyselenoselenates(II): Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [Ph₃(C₂H₄OH)P]₂[SeCl₄] · MeCN, [Ph₄P]₂[Se₂Cl₆], and [Ph₄P]₂[Se(Se₅)₂] By symproportionation of elemental selenium and SeCl₄ in polar protic solvents the novel chloroselenates(+II), [SeCl₄]^2? and [Se₂Cl₆]^2?, could be stabilized; they were crystallized with voluminous organic cations. They were characterized from complete X-ray structure analysis. Yellow-orange [Ph₃(C₂H₄OH)P]₂[SeCl₄] · MeCN (space group P1 , a = 10.535(4), b = 12.204(5), c = 16.845(6) Å, α = 77.09(3)°, β = 76.40(3)°, γ = 82.75(3)° at 140 K) contains in its crystal structure monomeric [SeCl₄]^2? anions with square-planar coordination of Se(+II). The mean Se? Cl bond length is 2.441 Å. In yellow [Ph₄P]₂[Se₂Cl₆] (space group P1 , a = 10.269(3), b = 10.836(4), c = 10.872(3) Å, α = 80.26(3)°, β = 79.84(2)°, γ = 72.21(3)° at 140 K) a dinuclear centrosymmetric [Se₂Cl₆]^2? anion, also with square-planar coordinated Se(+II), is observed. The average terminal and bridging Se? Cl bond distances are 2.273 and 2.680 Å, respectively. From redox reactions of elemental Se with boranate/thiolate in ethanol/DMF the bis(pentaselenido)selenate(+II) anion [Se(Se₅)₂]^2? was prepared as a novel type of a mixed-valent chalcogenide. In dark-red-brown [Ph₄P]₂[Se(Se₅)₂] (space group P2₁/n, a = 12.748(4), b = 14.659(5), c = 14.036(5) Å, β = 108.53(3)° at 140 K) centrosymmetric molecular [Se(Se₅)₂]^2? anions with square-planar coordination of the central Se(+II) by two bidentate pentaselenide ligands is observed (mean Se? Se bond lengths: 2.658 Å at Se(+II), 2.322 Å in [Se₅]_2?). The resulting six-membered chelate rings with chair conformation are spirocyclically linked through the central Se(+II). The vibrational spectra of the new anions are reported.     

1-D and 2-D homoleptic dicyanamide structures, [Ph4P]2[CoII[N(CN)2]4] and [Ph4P][M[N(CN)2]3] (M = Mn, Co)

The homoleptic complexes [Ph(4)P](2)[Co[N(CN)(2)](4)] and [Ph(4)P][M[N(CN)(2)](3)] [M = Co, Mn] have been structurally as well as magnetically characterized. The complexes containing [M[N(CN)(2)](4)](2-) form 1-D chains, which are bridged via a common dicyanamide ligand in [M[N(CN)(2)](3)](-) to form a 2-D structure. The five-atom [NCNCN](-) bridging ligands lead to weak magnetic coupling along a chain. The six [NCNCN](-) ligands lead to a (4)T(1g) ground state for Co(II) which has an unquenched spin-orbit coupling that is reflected in the magnetic properties. Long-range magnetic ordering was not observed in any of these materials.     

Synthesis and characterization of the silver maleonitrilediselenolates and silver maleonitriledithiolates [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(Se2C2(CN)2)4], [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4].0.33MeCN, [NBu4]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4], [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(Se2C2(CN)2)2].2MeCN, and [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(S2C2(CN)2)2

Reaction of AgBF(4), KNH(2), K(2)Se, Se, and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2))(4)] (1). In the unit cell of 1 there are four [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](+) units and a tetrahedral Ag(4) anionic core coordinated in mu(1)-Se, mu(2)-Se fashion by each of four mns ligands (mns = maleonitrilediselenolate, [Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)). Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt) (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate, [S(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)].0.33MeCN (2). The Ag(4) anion of 2 is analogous to that in 1. Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt), and [NBu(4)]Br in acetonitrile yields [NBu(4)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)] (3). The anion of 3 also comprises an Ag(4) core coordinated by four mnt ligands, but the Ag(4) core is diamond-shaped rather than tetrahedral. Reaction of [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(Se(6))] with KNH(2) and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(2)].2MeCN (4). The anion of 4 comprises an Ag center coordinated by two mns ligands in a tetrahedral arrangement. Reaction of AgNO(3), 2 equiv of Na(2)(mnt), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mnt)(2)] (5). The anion of 5 is analogous to that of 4. Electronic absorption and infrared spectra of each complex show behavior characteristic of metal-maleonitriledichalcogenates.

二铁氧还盐和四铁氧还盐的电子结构

本文采用CNDO/2-SD方法计算了二铁氧还盐及四铁氧还盐的电子结构.与Roussin 红盐及Roussin 黑盐的电子结构比较,相似之处为:在铁局部对称性为四面体的簇合物中, Fe-Fe间相互作用主要由铁的s,p电子的σ贡献产生, 金属d轨道的π相互作用在占有轨道区间同时具有成键和反键贡献, 因而对骨架的形成几乎无贡献. 骨架μ2-S桥含有孤对电子,有形成μ3-S桥的可能, 但以桥硫孤对电子贡献为主的轨道都不是前线轨道. 不同之处在于端基为SH的簇合物骨架电子的非定域性较端基为NO时更强. 二核簇合物Fe与端基SH的成键能力比与NO的小, 因而在自兜反应中容易失去端基SH而形成封闭型结构.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[As2Se4Cl12] und (PPh4)2[As2Se4Br12]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[As₂Se₄Cl₁₂] and (PPh₄)₂[As₂Se₄Br₁₂] The reaction of PPh₄Cl and As₂Se₃ with SOCl₂ or with chlorine in dichloromethane affords (PPh₄)₂[As₂Se₄Cl₁₂] with good yields. From PPh₄Br, As₂Se₃ and bromine the corresponding bromo compound was obtained. According to the X-ray crystal structure determinations both compounds are isotypic, crystallizing in the space group of P1 . In the anions two Se₂X₂ molecules are linked with two X^? ions forming an Se₄X₂ ring in chair conformation. Each X^?-ion is associated with an additional AsX₃ molecule (X = Cl, Br).     

Die Kristallpackung in drei Modifikationen von PPh4[ReO(S4)2] und PPh4[ReS(S4)2]

The Crystal Packing in three Modifications of PPh₄[ReO(S₄)₂] and PPh₄[ReS(S₄)₂] Mixed crystals PPh₄[ReS(S₄)₂]_0,63[ReO(S₄)₂]_0,37 were obtained from PPh₄Cl, ReCl₅ and Na₂S₄ in acetonitrile. Their crystal structure corresponds to the known structure of this kind of compound (space group P2₁/n). In a similar reaction with ReBr₅ instead of ReCl₅, PPh₄[ReO(S₄)₂] was obtained in small yield. Its triclinic crystal structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography (space group P1). It contains cation pairs (PPh₄⁺)₂ such as they have been found in many other instances. In contrast, the crystal structures of the mixed crystals and of one known modification of PPh₄[ReS(S₄)₂] have PPh₄⁺ columns similar to compounds crystallizing in the space group P4/n, albeit in a severely distorted manner; their space group P2₁/n is a subgroup of P4/n with a doubled unit cell. In another modification of PPh₄[ReS(S₄)₂] (space group P2₁/c) the columns are less distorted, but arranged in a different way.     

Two new [Ni(tren)2]2+ complexes: [Ni(tren)2]Cl2 and [Ni(tren)2]WS4

Both title compounds, bis­[tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine]­nickel(II) dichloride, [Ni(tren)₂]Cl₂, (I), and bis­[tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine]­nickel(II) tetra­thio­tungstate, [Ni(tren)₂]WS₄, (II), contain the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ cation [tren is tris(2‐amino­ethyl)­amine, C₆H₁₈N₄]. The tren mol­ecule acts as a tridentate ligand around the central Ni atom, with the remaining primary amine group not bound to the central atom. In (I), Ni²⁺ is located on a centre of inversion surrounded by one crystallographically independent tren mol­ecule. In the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ cation of (II), the Ni atom is bound to two crystallographically independent tren mol­ecules. The Ni atoms in the [Ni(tren)₂]²⁺ complexes are in a distorted octahedral environment consisting of six N atoms from the chelating tren mol­ecules. The counter‐ions are chloride anions in (I) and the tetrahedral [WS₄]^2? anion in (II). Hydro­gen bonding is observed in both compounds.     

LiSr2[ReN4] und LiBa2[ReN4] – isotype Nitridorhenate(VII)

LiSr₂[ReN₄] and LiBa₂[ReN₄] – isotypic Nitridorhenates(VII) The quaternary nitridorhenates(VII) LiAE₂[ReN₄] (AE = Sr, Ba) were synthesized by reaction of the metals with molecular nitrogen at 850–900 °C. The plate‐like, nearly colourless crystals were investigated by X‐ray single crystal methods and were identified as isotypic phases: LiSr₂[ReN₄] (LiBa₂[ReN₄]); monoclinic, P2₁/m; a = 614.64(8) pm (651.04(12) pm), b = 585.97(6) pm (b = 598.86(9) pm), c = 689.70(17) pm (737.43(5) pm), β = 106.375(4)° (108.535(2)°); Z = 2. Crystals of the strontium compound were systematically twinned along [001]. In the crystal structures of the quaternary compounds the alkaline earth‐ and nitride‐ ions are arranged in the motif of the InNi₂‐type structure. Strontium and barium are in a trigonal prismatic coordination by nitrogen (Sr–N: 261.0(7)–284.3(4) pm; Ba–N: 278.0(7)–303.0(6) pm). One half of the tetrahedral voids within the partial structure formed by stacking of trigonal prismatic rod layers is occupied by rhenium (formation of [Re^VIIN₄]^5–‐tetrahedra; Re–N: 181.0(6)–184.5(8) pm), lithium takes the positions of the remaining tetrahedral sites (Li–N: 2 × 198(1) pm, 224(2) pm and 228(2) pm for the strontium phase). In the barium compound the lithium positions show a larger shift from the tetrahedral centres towards a tetrahedral plane (Li–N: 2 × 195(1) pm, 213(2) pm and 304(2) pm).     

Intramolecular ketenimine-ketenimine [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions

Bis(ketenimines), in which the two heterocumulenic functions are placed in close proximity on a carbon skeleton to allow their mutual interaction, show a rich and not easily predictable chemistry. Intramolecular [2 + 2] or [4 + 2] cycloadditions are, respectively, observed when both ketenimine functions are supported on either ortho-benzylic or 2,2'-biphenylenic scaffolds. In addition, nitrogen-to-carbon [1,3] and [1,5] shifts of arylmethyl groups in N-arylmethyl-C,C-diphenyl ketenimines are also disclosed.     

Reaction of ene-bis(phosphinylallenes): [2+2] versus [4+2] cycloaddition

Reaction of ene-bis(phosphinylallenes), derived from ene-bis(propargyl alcohols) and chlorodiphenylphosphine, was investigated. Benzene-bridged bis(phosphinylallenes) exclusively gave intramolecular [2+2] cycloadducts in the presence of dimethyl fumarate in sharp contrast to the reaction of benzene-bridged bis(sulfinylallenes), which gave the corresponding [4+2] cycloadducts. On the other hand, substituted ethylene- or five-membered heterocycle-bridged bis(phosphinylallenes) provided [4+2] cycloadducts. Reaction of benzene-bridged diallene bearing both a sulfinyl group and a phosphinyl group on the two allenyl groups was also described.

Two New Modifications of [P(C6H5)4]2[Cu2I4]

Single crystals of two new modifications of [P(C₆H₅)₄]₂[Cu₂I₄] were obtained by reaction of granulated copper with iodine and [P(C₆H₅)₄]I in dry acetone under nitrogen atmosphere. They crystallise monoclinically, space group P2₁/n (No. 14), a = 11.550(6), b = 7.236(2), c = 27.232(13) Å, β = 98.13(3)°, V = 2253(2) ų, and Z = 2 ([P(C₆H₅)₄]₂[Cu₂I₄]-C), and space group Cc (No. 9), a = 17.133(5), b = 15.941(5), c = 18.762 (6) Å, β = 114.02(1)°, V = 4681(3) ų, and Z = 4 ([P(C₆H₅)₄]₂[Cu₂I₄]-D), respectively. In these compounds the [CuI₂]^? anions form dimers di-μ-iodo-diiodocuprate(I), which are either planar ( C ) or folded ( D ).     

Structural features of Ag[AuF4] and Ag[AuF6] and the stuctural relationship of Ag[AgF4]2 and Au[AuF4]2 to Ag[AuF4]2

Synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction data (SPDD) have been obtained for Ag[AgF4]2, Au[AuF4]2, Ag[AuF4], and Ag[AuF6]. Ag[AgF4]2 and Au[AuF4]2 are isostructural with Ag[AuF4]2, space group (SG) P2(1)/n, Z = 2, with the following: for Ag[AgF4]2 a = 5.04664(8), b = 11.0542(2), c = 5.44914(9) A, beta = 97.170(2) degrees; for Au[AuF4]2 a = 5.203(2), b = 11.186(3), c = 5.531(2) A, beta = 90.55(2) degrees. The structure of Ag[AgF4]2 was refined successfully (SPDD) applying the Rietveld method, yielding the following interatomic distances (A): AgII-F = 2.056(12), 2.200(13), 2.558(13); AgIII-F = two at 1.846(12), others = 1.887(12), 1.909(13), 2.786-(12), 2.796(12), 2.855(12). AgAuF4, like other AA'F4 salts (A = Na-Rb; A' = Ag, Au), crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type, SG I4/mcm (140), Z = 4 with a = 5.79109(6), c = 10.81676(7) A. SPDD gave (in A) four AuIII-F = 1.89(1) and eight AgI-F = 2.577(7). SPDD for AgAuF6 confirmed that it has the LiSbF6 structure, SG R3, Z = 3, with a = 5.2840(2), c = 15.0451(6) A.     

Synthesis and structure of [2-oxo(thioxo)tetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl]calix[4]arenes

Cone-shaped di- and tetrapropoxycalix[4]arenes functionalized at the upper rim with one or two 2-oxo(thioxo)tetrahydropyrimidine residues were synthesized by the Biginelli reaction of formylcalixarenes with urea (thiourea) and methyl acetoacetate. The steric structure of the products was studied by NMR and X-ray diffraction. The Biginelli reaction with dipropoxyformylcalixarene was diastereoselective, and it quantitatively produced the corresponding meso form. Tetrapropoxydiformylcalixarenes under analogous conditions gave rise to equimolar mixtures of racemic and meso compounds. The macrocyclic skeleton of the synthesized pyrimidine-containing calixarenes in crystal and in solution has a flattened cone conformation. (5-Methoxycarbonyl-2-oxotetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl)calixarene molecules in crystal undergo self-organization to form infinite chains via repeated inclusion of the methoxy group into the cavity of the neighboring macrocycle. Selforganization of bis(5-methoxycarbonyl-2-oxotetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl)calixarene with formation of analogous chains involves intermolecular hydrogen bonding NH ... O=C.
