Untersuchungen an Polyhalogeniden III. Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-tetraiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I2 · I2], und Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-hexaiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I3]I3

Studies on Polyhalides. III. Crystal Structures of [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] and [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ Tetramminecopper(II)tetraiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] (I) crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/m with a = 1 185.9 pm, b = 892.8 pm, c = 656.8 pm, β = 111.10° and Z = 2 formula units. Tetramminecopper(II)hexaiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ (II) crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pnnm with a = 874.9 pm, b = 1 089.8 pm, c = 885.3 pm, and Z = 2 formula units. A special feature of these structures are coordinated polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). In both compounds four coplanar nitrogen atoms and two axial iodine atoms form a quasi-octahedral coordination around copper with the usual (4+2)-tetragonal distortion. The copper ions are connected by linear, centrosymmetric polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). Therefore infinite planar zigzag chains of units [Cu(NH₃)₄I₄] (I) or [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]⁺(II) are resulting. The counterion I₃^? (II) is intercalated between these chains.     

The coordination chemistry of macrocyclic diamides. Transition metal complexes of 5,7-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane

Summary A convenient preparation of the 14-membered macrocyclic diamide 5,7-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (LH₂) is described. The pK _NH ⁺ values of the ligand are pK₁ = 5.76 and pK₂ = 9.63 at 25° and I = 0.1 mol dm^–3 (KNO₃). With metal ions able to ionise amide hydrogens, the ligand acts as a planar quadridentate, L^2–. Thus copper(II) and nickel(II) give the neutral complexes ML, and conductivity measurements confirm that they are nonelectrolytes in aqueous solution. Both the nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes are acid labile unlike the analogues of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam).The cobalt(III) complex [CoL(NH₃)₂]Cl has been characterised and¹H n.m.r. measurements established the N-meso stereochemistry at the chiral nitrogen centres.     

Ligand assembly and metal ion complexation: syntheses and X-ray structures of Ni(II) and Cu(II) benzoate and 4-tert-butylbenzoate complexes of cyclam

The syntheses and X-ray structures of trans-[Ni(O-benzoato)₂(cyclam)], trans-[Cu(H₂O)₂(cyclam)]-(benzoate)₂·2H₂O and trans-[Cu(H₂O)₂(cyclam)](4-t-butyl-benzoate)₂ (where cyclam is 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) are described. The nickel complex has a tetragonally distorted octahedral coordination geometry with cyclam occupying the equatorial plane in a stable trans-III arrangement, with benzoate ligands filling the axial positions. The structure closely resembles the arrangement in the previously described hydrogen-bonded (metal-free) ligand assembly [(cyclamH₂)·(4-t-butyl benzoate)₂]·2(benzoic acid) if the latter benzoic acid moieties, which do not interact directly with the cyclam moiety, are ignored. The 2?:?1 fragment thus may be viewed as a ligand assembly “preorganized” for nickel ion complexation. In contrast to the nickel structure, the two trans-axial sites in both copper structures are occupied by aqua rather than O-carboxylate ligands. Although they do not form part of the inner coordination sphere in either complex, the two carboxylate anions remain hydrogen bound to the (coordinated) cyclam ligand, with the mode of packing being generally similar in each complex.     

Ag/CuI-Mischbesetzung in den Kristallstrukturen der Kupfer(II)-cyanoargentate Cu(NH3)(py)Ag3-xCux(CN)5 · py

Ag/Cu^I Mixed Occupancy in the Crystal Structures of the Copper(II) Cyanoargentates Cu(NH₃)(py)Ag_3?xCu_x(CN)₅ · py From pyridine and ammonia containing Cu^II solutions, to which K[Ag(CN)₂] and in part KCu(CN)₂/KCN has been added, we obtained single crystals of mixed-valent copper compounds of variable composition Cu(NH₃)-(py)Ag_3-xCu_x(CN)₅ · py. The phases corresponding to x = 0.39(1) ( I ) and to x = 1.243(6) ( II ) were characterized by X-ray structure analysis. They are isomorphous and crystallize with Z = 4 in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The lattice constants for I [and II , resp.] are: a = 923.8(2) [901.4(2)], b = 1226.8(2) [1227.3(2)], c = 1809.8(4) [1783.5(2)] pm, β = 91.41(3) [91.02(1)]°. The Cu^II cation shows trigonal bipyramidal [CuN₅] coordination, with the neutral ligands in axial positions (mean value Cu? N for II : 201 pm), three N atoms of cyano bridges in equatorial ones (Cu? N: 206 pm). One of these bridges stems from a trigonal unit [AgCN(NC)₂], the central atom of which is substituted by Cu^I to an extent of 39% in I , and completely in II . The two other bridges originate from two [Ag(CN)₂]^? groups, of which the more bent one may be partially occupied by Cu^I as well (24% in II ). The units mentioned are connected into meshes of elongated hexagons and further into puckered layers within the (010) plane, interpenetrating each other in pairs. A threedimensional linking of layers occurs by the trigonal Ag/Cu^I species forming centrosymmetric dimers, in which the metal coordination is completed to tetrahedral by a C-atom of the corresponding neighbouring group and short metal-metal distances of 279.1(3) pm in I and 264.1(1) pm in II appear. Details and relations are discussed.     

Syntheses,Spectral, Thermal and Electrochemical Studies of 3-Carboxylacetonehydroxamic Acid and its Iron(Ii), Cobalt(Ii), Nickel(Ii), Copper(Ii) and Zinc(Ii) Complexes

3-Carboxylacetonehydroxamic acid (CAHA) and its iron(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis and IR spectra and magnetic susceptibility. The pK _a1 and pK _a2 values of the ligand in aqueous solution were found to be 6.5 ± 0.1 and 8.6 ± 0.1, which correspond to dissociation of carboxyl and hydroxamic protons, respectively. The dianion CAH acts as a tetradentate ligand through the hydroxamate and carboxylate groups and coordinates to the divalent metal ions, forming coordination polymers with a metal-to-ligand ratio of 1 : 1 in the solid state. FTIR spectra and thermal decomposition of the ligand and its metal complexes were recorded and briefly discussed. The electrochemical behavior of the complexes was investigated by square wave voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry at neutral pH. In contrast to the solid state, the iron(II) and copper(II) cations form stable complex species with a metal-to-ligand ratio of 1 : 2 in solution. The iron(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes show two-electron irreversible reduction behavior, while the copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes undergo quasi-reversible and reversible electrode reactions, respectively. The stability constants of the complexes were determined by square wave voltammetry.     

Synthesis and structure of aqua-2′,?-(2,6-pyridindiyldiethylidene) dioxamohydrazide-copper(II) hydrate

In a template synthesis from copper(II) acetate, 2,6-diacetylpyridine, and semioxamazide (NH₂CO CONHNH₂), two copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dapsox)(H₂O)]·H₂O and [Cu(Hdapsox)](H₂O)]ClO₄, (where H₂dapsox = 2′,2?-(2,6-pyridindiyldiethylidene)dioxamohydrazide) were obtained and characterized. The structure of the former complex was determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Cu^II is located in a square pyramidal environment. The polydentate ligand, dapsox²⁻ is coordinated in dianionic form, as an unsymmetrical quadridentate planar system forming one-membered and two-five-membered metal-chelate rings. The fifth coordination site is occupied by a water molecule.     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen der Phosphanimin-Komplexe [Cu(μ-HNPEt3)]4(O3S–CF3)4 und [Pt2Me6(μ-I)2(μ-HNPMe3)]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Phosphaneimine Complexes [Cu(μ-HNPEt₃)]₄(O₃S–CF₃)₄ and [Pt₂Me₆(μ-I)₂(μ-HNPMe₃)] The title compounds have been prepared by the reaction of copper(I)triflate with [NiBr(NPEt₃)]₄ in CH₂Cl₂ suspension in the presence of water, and by the reaction of [PtMe₃I]₄ with Me₃SiNPMe₃ in boiling toluene in the presence of cesium fluoride, respectively. According to the crystal structure determinations the cation of the copper complex forms tetrameric units [Cu(HNPEt₃)]₄⁴⁺ with S₄ symmetry with Cu–N bond lengths of 191.6 and 192.1 pm. In the platinum complex the platinum atoms are linked by two μ-I bridging atoms as well as by the μ-N atom of the HNPMe₃ ligand with Pt–N bond lengths of 228.1 and 229.5 pm.     

Evidence of Sulfur Non-Innocence in [CoII(dithiacyclam)]2+-Mediated Catalytic Oxygen Reduction Reactions

In many metalloenzymes, sulfur-containing ligands participate in catalytic processes, mainly via the involvement in electron transfer reactions. In a biomimetic approach, we now demonstrate the implication of S-ligation in cobalt mediated oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). A comparative study between the catalytic ORR capabilities of the four-nitrogen bound [Co(cyclam)]²⁺ ( 1 ; cyclam=1,5,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane) and the S-containing analog [Co(S₂N₂-cyclam)]²⁺ ( 2 ; S₂N₂-cyclam=1,8-dithia-5,11-diaza-cyclotetradecane) reveals improved catalytic performance once the chalcogen is introduced in the Co coordination sphere. Trapping and characterization of the intermediates formed upon dioxygen activation at the Co^II centers in 1 and 2 point to the involvement of sulfur in the O₂ reduction process as the key for the improved catalytic ORR capabilities of 2 .     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of an oxamato-bridged heterobinuclear NiIICuII complex [Ni(cyclam)Cu(opba)]2·3DMSO

An oxamato-bridged heterobinuclear Ni^IICu^II complex [Ni(cyclam)Cu(opba)]₂ · 3DMSO (1) has been synthesized, characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra and magnetic susceptibility, where cyclam is 1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and opba is o-phenylenebis(oxamato). The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1 with a = 12.006(3) Å, b = 12.783(3) Å, c = 20.977(5) Å, α = 76.634(4)°, β = 75.172(4)°, γ = 80.818(4)° and Z = 2. According to X-ray crystallographic studies, the four-coordinate copper(II) atom is a slightly distorted planar geometry and is linked to nickel(II) through the exo-cis oxygen atoms of [Cu(opba)]^2?; the six-coordinate nickel(II) center lies in a highly distorted octahedral environment. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complex in the temperature range 2–300 K indicate that the heterobinuclear Ni^IICu^II units are coupled antiferromagnetically with J = ?57.38 cm^?1, g _Ni = 2.25 and g _Cu = 2.02.     

Structural and spectral studies of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of pyruvaldehyde mixed bis{N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones}

Pyruvaldehyde mixed bis(thiosemicarbazones) have been prepared in which the two thiosemicarbazone moieties have different N(4)-substituents. The mixed bis(thiosemicarbazones) and their copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes have been characterized with IR, electronic, mass, ¹H NMR (Ni) and EPR (Cu) spectra. Representative crystal structures have been solved of nickel(II) complexes with either a pyruvaldehyde mixed bis(thiosemicarbazone) or a bis(thiosemicarbazone) with identical N(4)-substituents acting as a tetradentate ligand. [Ni(Pu4M4DE)] has an N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone substituent on the keto “arm” and N(4)-diethylthiosemicarbazone substituent on the aldehyde arm. [Ni(Pu4M)] contains two N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone moieties. Both bis(thiosemicarbazones) form square-planar N₂S₂ complexes with nickel(II) and copper(II).     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Cu4[PhN3C6H4N3(H)Ph]4(μ2-O)2, einem vierkernigen Kupfer(II)-Komplex mit 1-Phenyltriazenido-2-phenyltriazenobenzol als Ligand

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cu₄[PhN₃C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph]₄(μ₂-O)₂, a Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complex with 1-Phenyltriazenido-2-phenyltriazeno-benzene as Ligand Cu₄[PhN₃C₆H₄N₃(H)Ph]₄(μ-O)₂ ( 1 ) results from the reaction of an aqueous solution of [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ with 1,2-bis(phenyltriazeno)benzene in ether. 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pba2 with the lattice parameters a = 1661.5(5), b = 1914.7(7), c = 1269.2(5) pm; Z = 2. In the tetrameric complex with the symmetry C₂ the Cu²⁺ cations form a tetrahedron (Cu? Cu: 298.3(1)?337.1(1) pm). The μ₂-oxo ligands occupy the twofold axis and bridge two opposite edges of the Cu₄ tetrahedron (Cu? O: 190.0(3) and 192.5(4) pm). The 1-phenyltriazenido-2-phenyltriazeno benzene anions bridge two Cu²⁺ ions chelating one metal ion and coordinating monodentate the neighbouring one (Cu? N: 191.0(5)–204.1(4) pm).     

Asymmetric heterobimetallic mixed-valence complex trans-[(SO3)Co(cyclam)(NCS)Ru(NH3)4(NCS)](BF4): Synthesis and characterization

[(SO₃)Co(cyclam)(NCS)] and [(SO₃)Co(cyclam)-NCS-Ru(NH₃)₄(NCS)](BF₄) complexes were synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, electrochemistry, elemental analysis, and spectroscopic techniques. Crystallographic and FTIR data indicated NCS⁻ ligand is coordinated to Co through the nitrogen atom in the monomer species. Electrochemistry and FTIR data of the material isolated after reductive electrolysis of [(SO₃)Co(cyclam)(NCS)] hint that NCS⁻ and SO₃²⁻ are released thus forming [Co(cyclam)(L)₂]²⁺, where L is solvent molecules. The formation of the heterobimetallic mixed-valence complex induced a thermodynamic stabilization of Co and Ru metal atoms in the oxidized and reduced states, respectively. According to the Robin and Day classification, a Class II system with a comproportionation constant of 5.78 × 10⁶ is suggested for the mixed-valence complex based on the electrochemical and UV-Vis-NIR results.     

Effects of steric constraint on chromium(III) complexes of tetraazamacrocycles. Chemistry and excited-state behavior of 1,4-C2-cyclam complexes

The synthesis and characterization of several Cr(III) complexes of the constrained macrocyclic ligand 1,4-C(2)-cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[10.2.2]hexadecane is reported. The ligand appears to form only trans complexes, and the structure of trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)Cl(2)]PF(6) is presented. The constraint imposed by the additional C(2) linkage distorts the bond angles significantly away from the ideal values of 90 and 180 degrees. The effect of the distortion is to enhance the aquation rate of trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)Cl(2)](+) (k(obs) for trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)(H(2)O)(2)](3+) formation = 6.5 x 10(-)(2) s(-)(1), 0.01M HNO(3), 25 degrees C) by over 5 orders of magnitude relative to trans-[Cr(cyclam)Cl(2)](+). The complexes trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)Cl(2)](+) and trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)(CN)(2)](+) are found to have extinction coefficients four to five times higher than their cyclam analogues, owed to the lack of centrosymmetry caused by the steric constraint. The trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)(CN)(2)](+) complex is a very weak emitter in aqueous solution with a broad room-temperature emission centered at 735 nm (tau = 0.24 micros). Extended photolysis (350 nm, 15 h) of trans-[Cr(1,4-C(2)-cyclam)(CN)(2)](+) in aqueous solution results in CN(-) ligand loss. This is in stark contrast to its unconstrained cyclam analogue, which is photoinert and has a room-temperature emission lifetime of 335 micros.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ammine(μ₃‐L‐glutamato)copper(II) [Cu(L‐Glu)H₂O]·H₂O reacts with aqueous ammonia to give the ammine complex [Cu(L‐Glu)NH₃] ( 1 ). 1 forms orthorhombic crystals, space group P 2₁2₁2 with a = 1585,1(1) pm; b = 979,46(7) pm and c = 504,70(5) pm. In the crystal structure of 1 the copper atoms are linked by μ₃‐glutamate units to give a 2D layer structure. The copper atoms exhibit a square‐pyramidal coordination with two N atoms and two O atoms in the base plane and one O atom at the apex of the pyramid. The crystal structure is stabilized by a 3D network of N–H···O hydrogen bridges.

The binuclear metal complex [Cu(μ-exoO₂)cyclamCu(bpy)](ClO₄)₂·H₂O (bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine and (exoO₂)cyclam?=?1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotradecanne-2,3-dione) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis and spectroscopic and magnetic measurements. The structure consists of homobinuclear [Cu(μ-exoO₂)cyclamCu(bpy)]²⁺ cations, a weakly coordinated water molecule and perchlorate ions. In each binuclear unit, Cu1, coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of the macrocyclic organic ligand is connected to Cu2 via the exo-cis oxygen atoms of the macrocyclic ligand with Cu···Cu separations of 5.151?Å; Cu2 assumes square-pyramidal geometry. Magnetic properties measured at 2–300?K show antiferromagnetic exchange between adjacent copper(II) ions.

The nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of meso-3,6,6,9-tetramethyl-4,8-diazaundecane-2,10-dione dioxime (meso-HM-PAO) have an intramolecular hydrogen bond between cis oxime groups. [Cu(meso-HM-PAO-H)(H₂O)](NCS) crystallizes in space group P2₁/n with a = 7.692(1), b = 12.028(2), c=20.235(3) Å, β=93.03(1)°, Z = 4 and Dc=1.46 g/cm³. The final R value for this complex was 0.034 for 2223 observed reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ (I). The Cu(II) coordination is a distorted square pyramid. The Cu(II) ion is five-coorinated with the diazadioxime N atoms equatorial and water O atom axial. The Cu(II) is 0.12 Å from the equatorial plane towards the hydrate. The equatorial Cu-N distances span a narrow range, 1.953(3)-1.999(3) Å. The axial Cu-O distance is 2.314(3) Å. The thiocyanate group is almost linear. The intramolecular O ?O hydrogen bond length is 2.479(4) Å. [Ni(meso-HM-PAO-H)](ClO₄) crystallizes in space group P2₁/c with a = 14.774(3), b = 12.752(3), c = 20.035(4) Å, β = 92.94(3)°, Z = 8 and Dc = 1.51 g/cm³. The final R value for the complex was 0.053 for 4794 observed reflections with F ≥ 4σ (F). The coordination about Ni(II) is a slightly distorted square plane. The Ni(II) ion is 0.0673(7) Å from the best plane of the four donor nitrogen atoms away from the perchlorate ion. The Ni-N distances span a narrow range 1.863(4)-1.927(4) Å. There are two molecules per asymmetrical unit resulting in eight molecules being packed in an unit cell; they are bound together by van der Waals interactions. The O-H ?O bonds of these complexes give characteristic infrared absorptions as well as chemical shift of the ¹H NMR signal (Ni complex).     

The synthesis and crystal structure of [NiL(NCS)2] (L=3-hydroxyethyl-1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane)

The reaction of H2CO and H2NCH2CH2OH with the nickel(II) complex of 1,9-diamino-3,7-diazanonane (2,3,2-tet) in the presence of Et3N gives the nickel(II) complex of the macrocycle 3-hydroxyethyl-1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane (L), which can be readily isolated as the perchlorate salt. The reaction of KCNS with the perchlorate salt in aqueous solution gives [NiL(NCS)2] and the crystal structure of this complex has been determined. The complex is octahedral and trans with the two N-bonded thiocyanates in the axial sites with Ni-NCS bond lengths of 2.106 and 2.145AÅ. The equatorial sites are occupied by N2, N5, N8 and N12 with Ni-N bond distances of 2.053 to 2.076AÅ, which are typical for octahedral nickel(II) complexes. The ligand has a trans III configuration of the sec-NH centres, leading to chair six-membered rings and gauche five-membered rings. The hydroxyethyl group on N3 is axial. There is no evidence for hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the hydroxyethyl group in the crystal lattice.

First Compound with a Six-Membered Tin(II) Transition Metal Ring – [Mn(CO)₄SnCl(DMF)]₃ Tin(II) chloride and dimanganese decacarbonyl were reacted in dimethyl-(DMF) at 150°C or monomethylformamide (MMF) at 120°C to yellow product solvates of the type [Mn(CO)₄SnCl(D)]₃ (D = DMF and MMF). Their identification in the case of the compound [Mn(CO)₄SnCl(DMF)]₃ was undertaken by a single crystal X-ray analysis.

Mn bond lengths of 258.8(5) pm, endocyclic bond angle at Mn Atom of 90.5(2)° and the corresponding angle at Sn atom of 141.6(2)°. After the result of ¹¹⁹Sn Mößbauer spectroscopic measurements of the title substance a tin(II) oxidation state was present. The ν(CO) i.r. absorption bands and ¹H n.m.r. data of both obtained products were measured for a further characterization. With view to the mechanistic pathway of the product formation, it was ascertained by separate experiments that the postulated intermediate Cl₃SnMn(CO)₅ and tin(II) chloride in DMF solution produced the title compound.

Synthesis and spectral and structural characterization of a bridging chloropicolinatocopper(II) complex,Cu(C5H4NCOO)Cl

Summary The title complex of copper(II) chloride with picolinic acid was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic methods. The complex, Cu(C₅H₄NCOO)Cl, crystallizes tetragonal, space group P4₂/n (No. 86),a=976.4(1),c=1499.6(4) pm,N=8;R _w=0.048 for 543 observed MoK diffractometer data.

These edge-sharing copper coordination polyhedra are further linked via the N and O donor atoms of the picolinato anions at Cu-N distances of 199.6(12) pm and Cu-O bond lengths of 195.7(8) and 200.6(10) pm, to form a two-dimensional layer structure in which these layers are arranged along theab plane. Each picolinate anion functions as a tetra-dentate ligand: N(1) and O(2) are coordinated to the same Cu(II) center whereas O(1) is bonded to a neighbouring Cu(II) center. O(2) is further bonded to the latter Cu(II) center at a long Cu-O distance of 256.5(8) pm. The electronic, infrared and Raman spectra of the solid complex are reported and discussed.

Synthese und spektroskopische und strukturelle Charakterisierung eines verbrückten Chloropicolinatokupfer(II) Komplexes, Cu(C₅H₄NCOO)Cl

Zusammenfassung Der Titelkomplex aus Kupfer(II)chlorid und Picolinsäure wurde dargestellt und mit spektroskopischen und Röntgen-Einkristall-Methoden charakterisiert. Cu(C₅H₄NCOO)Cl kristallisiert tetragonal, Raumgruppe P4₂/n (No. 86),a=976.4(1),c=1499.6(4) pm,N=8;R _w=0.048 für 543 beobachtete Mok-Diffraktometerdaten. In der Kristallstruktur bilden zwei -chloro-Brücken nur wenig gewinkelte Cu₂Cl₂-Ringe aus [Cu-Cl=224.2(4) und 275.6(4) pm], mit Cu...Cu Abständen von 359.4(2) pm und Cl...Cl Abständen von 348.7(5) pm.
