Crystal Structures of [Mn2(H2O)4(bpy)2(C8H12O4)2] · 2 H2O and [Mn(H2O)2(bpy)(C8H12O4)2/2] · H2O with bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine

Reaction of MnSO₄ · H₂O, 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy), suberic acid and Na₂CO₃ in CH₃OH/H₂O yielded a mixture of [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(bpy)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)₂] · 2 H₂O ( 1 ) and [Mn(H₂O)₂‐ (bpy)(C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2] · H₂O ( 2 ). In both complexes, the Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and four O atoms of two trans positioned H₂O molecules and two suberato ligands (d(Mn–O) = 2.107–2.328 Å; d(Mn–N) = 2.250–2.330 Å). The bis‐monodentate suberato ligands bridge Mn atoms to form dinuclear [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(bpy)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)₂] complex molecules in 1 and 1D [Mn(H₂O)₂(bpy)(C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2] chains in 2 . Via the intermolecular hydrogen bondings and π‐π stacking interactions, the dinuclear molecules in 1 are assembled into 2D networks parallel to (100), between which the crystal H₂O molecules are sandwiched. The polymeric chains in 2 are linked together by interchain hydrogen bonding and π‐π stacking interactions into 3D networks with the crystal H₂O molecules located in tunnels along [010]. Crystal data for 1 : P2₁/c (no. 14), a = 10.092(1) Å, b = 11.916(2) Å, c = 17.296(2) Å, β = 93.41(1)° and Z = 2. Crystal data for 2 : P2₁/c (no. 14), a = 11.176(2) Å, b = 9.688(1) Å, c = 37.842(6) Å, β = 90.06(1)° and Z = 8.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Characterization of a new Protonated Magnesium Borophosphate: (H3O)Mg(H2O)2[BP2O8]·H2O

A new protonated borophosphate (H₃O)Mg(H₂O)₂[BP₂O₈]·H₂O ( 1 ) was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and TG‐DTA. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal system, space group P6(1)22 (No 178), a = 9.4462(7) Å, c = 15.759(2) Å, V = 1217.8(2) Å³, and Z = 6. There exist infinite helical $^1_\infty$ {[BP₂O₈]^3–} ribbons built up from corner‐sharing PO₄ and BO₄ tetrahedra, which are connected by MgO₄(H₂O)₂ leading to an infinite three‐dimensional open‐framework. The H₃O⁺ ions are located at the free thread of the helical ribbons, whereas crystallized water occupy the channels of the helical ribbons. The dehydration of the compound occurs at a higher temperature which is presumably due to the anisotropic hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. The luminescent properties of the compound were studied.     

Neue Oxonium-Bromochalkogenate(IV) — Darstellung,Struktur und Eigenschaften von [H3O][TeBr5] · 3C4H8O2 und [H3O]2[SeBr6]

New Oxonium Bromochalcogenates(IV) — Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ and [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] Dark red crystals of the composition [H₃O][TeBr₅] · 3 C₄H₈O₂ ( 1 ) were isolated from a saturated solution of TeBr₄ in 1,4-dioxane containing a small amount of water. In this compound (space group P2₁/m, a = 8.922(4) Å, b = 13.204(7) Å, c = 9.853(5) Å, β = 91.82(4)° at 150 K) a square pyramidal [TeBr₅]^? anion has been isolated for the first time. The coordination sphere of the anion is completed to a distorted octahedron by weak interaction with a dioxane molecule of the cationic system. The [H₃O]⁺ cations are connected to chains by dioxane molecules. At room temperature the compound is stable only in its mother liquor. Crystalline [H₃O]₂[SeBr₆] ( 2 ) (space group Fm3m, a = 10.421(1) Å at 170 K) is a bromoselenous acid of high symmetry. The [H₃O]⁺ ion is only weakly coordinated by Br atoms of the anion. The anions are isolated octahedral [SeBr₆]^2? units. The structure is isotypic to the K₂[PtCl₆] structure. Despite being a halogenochalcogen(IV) acid, 2 exhibits a remarkable thermal stability. Both oxonium compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. Vibrational spectra of 2 are reported.     

Dodekahydro‐closo‐dodekaborate der schweren Erdalkalimetalle aus wäßriger Lösung: Ca(H2O)7[B12H12] · H2O,Sr(H2O)8[B12H12] und Ba(H2O)6[B12H12]

Dodecahydro‐ closo ‐dodecaborates of the Heavy Alkaline‐Earth Metals from Aqueous Solution: Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O, Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂], and Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] The crystalline hydrates of the heavy alkaline earth metal dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborates (M[B₁₂H₁₂] · n H₂O, n = 6–8; M = Ca, Sr, Ba) are easily accessible by reaction of an aqueous (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] solution with an alkaline earth metal carbonate (MCO₃). By isothermic evaporation of the respective aqueous solution we obtained colourless single crystals which are characterized by X‐ray diffraction at room temperature. The three compounds Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O (orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁; a = 1161.19(7), b = 1229.63(8), c = 1232.24(8) pm; Z = 4), Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂] (trigonal, R3; a = 1012.71(6), c = 1462.94(9) pm; Z = 3) and Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] (orthorhombic, Cmcm; a = 1189.26(7) pm, b = 919.23(5) pm, c = 1403.54(9) pm; Z = 4) are neither formula‐equal nor isostructural. The structure of Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂] is best described as a NaCl‐type arrangement, Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] rather forms a layer‐like and Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O a channel‐like structure. In first sphere the alkaline earth metal cations Ca²⁺ and Sr²⁺ are coordinated by just seven and eight oxygen atoms from the surrounding water molecules, respectively. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– cluster anions becomes noticeable only for the Ba²⁺ cations (CN = 12) in Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]. The dehydratation of the alkaline earth metal dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate hydrates has been shown to take place in several steps. Thermal treatment leads to the anhydrous compounds Ca[B₁₂H₁₂], Sr[B₁₂H₁₂] and Ba[B₁₂H₁₂] at 224, 164 and 116 °C, respectively.     

Neue Halogenochalkogen(IV)‐Säuren: [H3O(Benzo‐18‐Krone‐6)]2[Te2Br10] und [H5O2(Dibenzo‐24‐Krone‐8)]2[Te2Br10]

Novel Halogenochalcogeno(IV) Acids: [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] Systematic studies on halogenochalcogeno(IV) acids containing tellurium and bromine led to the new crystalline phases [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 1 ) and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 2 ). The [Te₂Br₁₀]^2‐ anions consists of two edge‐sharing distorted TeBr₆ octahedra, the oxonium cations are stabilized by crownether. ( 1 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 14.520(5) Å, b = 22.259(6) Å, c = 16.053(5) Å, β = 97.76(3)° and Z = 4, whereas ( 2 ) crystallizes in the triclinic space group with a = 11.005(4) Å, b = 12.103(5) Å, c = 14.951(6) Å, α = 71.61(3)°, β = 69.17(3)°, γ = 68.40(3)° and Z = 1.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of SrFe[BP2O8(OH)2]

SrFe[BP₂O₈(OH)₂] was synthesised under mild hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structure was determined from single–crystal X–ray diffraction data: triclinic, space group P (No. 2), a = 6.6704(12) Å, b = 6.6927(13) Å, c = 9.3891(19) Å, α = 109.829(5)°, β = 102.068(6)°, γ = 103.151(3)°, V = 364.74(12) ų and Z = 2. The crystal structure of SrFe[BP₂O₈(OH)₂] contains isolated borophosphate oligomers, [BP₂O₈(OH)₂]^5–, which are interconnected by Fe^IIIO₄(OH)₂ coordination octahedra. The resulting three–dimensional framework is characterised by elliptical channels running along [011]. Strontium takes positions inside the channels.     

Two new soluble iron–oxo complexes: [Fe2(μ‐O)(μ‐O2CCF3)2(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2] and [Fe4(μ3‐O)2(μ‐O2CCF3)6(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2]·CF3CO2H

Two new iron–oxo clusters, viz. di‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐μ‐oxo‐bis­[(2,2′‐bi­pyridine‐κ²N,N′)(tri­fluoro­acetato‐κO)­iron(III)], [Fe₂O(CF₃CO₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], and bis(2,2′‐bi­pyridine)­di‐μ₃‐oxo‐hexa‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐bis­(tri­fluoro­acetato)­tetrairon(III) tri­fluoro­acetic acid solvate, [Fe₄O₂(CF₃CO₂)₈(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·CF₃CO₂H, contain dinuclear and tetranuclear Fe^III cores, respectively. The Fe^III atoms are in distorted octahedral environments in both compounds and are linked by oxide and tri­fluoro­acetate ions. The tri­fluoro­acetate ions are either bridging (bidentate) or coordinated to the Fe^III atoms via one O atom only. The fluorinated peripheries enhance the solubility of these compounds. Formal charges for all the Fe centers were assigned by summing valences of the chemical bonds to the Fe^III atom.     

KCo(H2O)2BP2O8·0.48H2O and K0.17Ca0.42Co(H2O)2BP2O8·H2O: two cobalt borophosphates with helical ribbons and disordered (K,Ca)/H2O schemes

The two title compounds, potassium diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate 0.48‐hydrate and potassium–calcium(0.172/0.418) diaquacobalt(II) borodiphosphate monohydrate, were synthesized hydrothermally. They are new members of the borophosphate family characterized by _∞[BP₂O₈]³⁻ helices running along [001] and constructed of boron (Wyckoff position 6b, twofold axis) and phosphorus tetrahedra. The [CoBP₂O₈]⁻ anionic frameworks in the two materials are structurally similar and result from a connection in the ab plane between the CoO₄(H₂O)₂ coordination octahedra (6b position) and the helical ribbons. Nevertheless, the two structures differ in the disorder schemes of the K,Ca and H₂O species. The alkali cations in the structure of the pure potassium compound are disordered over three independent positions, one of them located on a 6b site. Its framework is characterized by double occupation of the tunnels by water molecules located on twofold rotation axes (6b) and a fraction of alkali cations; its cell parameters, compared with those for the mixed K,Ca compound, show abnormal changes, presumably due to the disorder. For the K,Ca compound, the K and Ca cations are on twofold axes (6b) and the channels are occupied only by disordered solvent water molecules. This shows that it is possible, due to the flexibility of the helices, to replace the alkali and alkaline earth cations while retaining the crystal framework.     

Neue Kronenether‐stabilisierte Oxoniumhalogenochalkogenate: [H3O(Dibromo‐benzo‐18‐Krone‐6)]2[Se3Br10] und [H5O2(Bis‐dibromo‐dibenzo‐24‐Krone‐8]2[Se3Br8]

Novel Oxonium Halogenochalcogenates Stabilized by Crown Ethers: [H₃O(Dibromo‐benzo‐18‐crown‐6)]₂[Se₃Br₁₀] and [H₅O₂(Bis‐dibromo‐dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8]₂[Se₃Br₈] Two novel complex oxonium bromoselenates(II,IV) and –(II) are reported containing [H₃O]⁺ and [H₅O₂]⁺ cations coordinated by crown ether ligands. [H₃O(dibromo‐benzo‐18‐crown‐6)]₂[Se₃Br₁₀] ( 1 ) and [H₅O₂(bis‐dibromo‐dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8]₂[Se₃Br₈] ( 2 ) were prepared as dark red crystals from dichloromethane or acetonitrile solutions of selenium tetrabromide, the corresponding unsubstituted crown ethers, and aqueous hydrogen bromide. The products were characterized by their crystal structures and by vibrational spectra. 1 is triclinic, space group (Nr. 2) with a = 8.609(2) Å, b = 13.391(3) Å, c = 13.928(3) Å, α = 64.60(2)°, β = 76.18(2)°, γ = 87.78(2)°, V = 1404.7(5) ų, Z = 1. 2 is also triclinic, space group with a = 10.499(2) Å, b = 13.033(3) Å, c = 14.756(3) Å, α = 113.77(3)°, β = 98.17(3)°, γ = 93.55(3)°. V = 1813.2(7) ų, Z = 1. In the reaction mixture complex redox reactions take place, resulting in (partial) reduction of selenium and bromination of the crown ether molecules. In 1 the centrosymmetric trinuclear [Se₃Br₁₀]^2? consists of a central Se^IVBr₆ octahedron sharing trans edges with two square planar Se^IIBr₄ groups. The novel [Se₃Br₈]^2? in 2 is composed of three planar trans‐edge sharing Se^IIBr₄ squares in a linear arrangement. The internal structure of the oxonium‐crown ether complexes is largely determined by the steric restrictions imposed by the aromatic rings in the crown ether molecules, as compared to complexes with more flexible unsubstituted crown ether ligands.

The metal atom is ten‐coordinate being bonded to the terdentate TPTZ ligand, three bidentate nitrates and a water mol­ecule.

The [Mo(CN)₈]^4– groups of the three compounds, prepared at about 275 K and easily decomposing, show but slightly distorted dodecahedral coordination (mean distances Mo–C: 216.3, 215.4 and 216.1 pm). Within the monoclinic complexes the anions twodimensionally form cyano bridges to the ammin cations [M(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and are connected with the resulting [MN₆] octahedra (Co–N: 215.1 pm, Ni–N: 209.8 pm) into strongly puckered layers. The trigonal complex exhibits a chain structure, as one [Ni(NH₃)₅]²⁺ cation is only bound as terminal octahedron (Ni–N: 212.0 pm). Details and the influence of hydrogen bridges are discussed.

[TMPA]4[Si8O20] · 34 H2O and [DDBO]4[Si8O20] · 32 H2O are heteronetwork clathrates with 1,1,4,4-tetramethylpiperazinium (TMPA) and 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DDBO) guest cations

[TMPA]₄[Si₈O₂₀] · 34 H₂O ( 1 ) and [DDBO]₄[Si₈O₂₀] · 32 H₂O ( 2 ) have been prepared by crystallization from aqueous solutions of the respective quaternary alkylammonium hydroxide and SiO₂. The crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 : Monoclinic, a = 16.056(2), b = 22.086(6), c = 22.701(2) Å, β = 90.57(1)° (T = 210 K), space group C2/c, Z = 4. 2 : Monoclinic, a = 14.828(9), b = 20.201(7), c = 15.519(5) Å, β = 124.13(4)° (T = 255 K), space group P2₁/c, Z = 2. The polyhydrates are structurally related host-guest compounds with three-dimensional host frameworks composed of oligomeric [Si₈O₂₀]^8? anions and H₂O molecules which are linked via hydrogen bonds. The silicate anions possess a cube-shaped double four-ring structure and a characteristic local environment formed by 24 H₂O molecules and six cations (TMPA, [C₈H₂₀N₂]²⁺, or DDBO, [C₈H₁₈N₂]²⁺). The cations themselves reside as guest species in large, irregular, cage-like voids. Studies employing ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy and the trimethylsilylation method have revealed that the saturated aqueous solutions of 1 and 2 contain high proportions of double four-ring silicate anions. Such anions are also abundant species in the saturated solution of the heteronetwork clathrate [DMPI]₆[Si₈O₁₈(OH)₂] · 48.5 H₂O ( 3 ) with 1,1-dimethylpiperidinium (DMPI, [C₇H₁₆N]⁺) guest cations.

Hydrothermal investigations in the system MgO/B₂O₃/P₂O₅(/H₂O) yielded two new magnesium borophosphates, Mg₂(H₂O)[BP₃O₉(OH)₄] and Mg(H₂O)₂[B₂P₂O₈(OH)₂]·H₂O. The crystal structures were solved by means of single crystal X‐ray diffraction. While the acentric crystal structure of Mg₂(H₂O)[BP₃O₉(OH)₄] (orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19), a = 709.44(5) pm, b = 859.70(4) pm, c = 1635.1(1) pm, V = 997.3(3) × 10⁶ pm³, Z = 4) contains 1D infinite chains of magnesium coordination octahedra interconnected by a borophosphate tetramer, Mg(H₂O)₂[B₂P₂O₈(OH)₂]·H₂O (monoclinic, P2₁/c (No. 14), a = 776.04(5) pm, b = 1464.26(9) pm, c = 824.10(4) pm, β = 90.25(1)°, V = 936.44(9) × 10⁶ pm³,Z = 4) represents the first layered borophosphate with 6³ net topology.
