Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structure of new Macromolecule Iron(III) Complex Containing Dimethyl Phosphate,Acetate, and Dimethyl sulfoxide

The reaction between a solution of [Fe₃O(μ‐OAc)₆(H₂O)₃]Cl·6H₂O ( 1 ) (OAc = acetate) and TMP (TMP = trimethyl phosphate) in absolute ethanol and DMSO (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide), led to the coordination macromolecule ‐[Fe₁₆(μ₃O)₈(μ₃‐OH)₄(μ‐OH)₄(μ‐DMP)₁₂(μ‐OAc)₁₂(DMSO)₄]·2DMSO·1.5H₂O ( 2 ) (DMP = dimethyl phosphate). This complex was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal structure.

Indium(I) Tetraiodoaluminate,InAlI4

Indium(I) tetraiodoaluminate, InAlI₄, was obtained from the respective molar amounts of In, InI₃ and AlI₃ at 553 K. The crystal structure [monoclinic, P2₁/m (no. 11), a = 713.5(4), b = 1182.2(3), c = 1108.3(6) pm, β = 96.32(6)°, V = 1013.2(8)·10⁶ pm³, Z = 4, R₁ for 981 reflections with I₀>2σ(I₀): 0.0404] contains discrete indium(I) cations and tetraiodoaluminate anions. No evidence was found for a stereochemical activity of the In‐5s² electron pair. InAlI₄ (Person code mP24) represents a new structure type within the ABX₄ structure family.     

Schwache Sn…I‐Wechselwirkungen in den Kristallstrukturen der Iodostannate [SnI4]2– und [SnI3]–

Weak Sn…I Interactions in the Crystal Structures of the Iodostannates [SnI₄]^2– and [SnI₃]^– Iodostannate complexes can be crystallized from SnI₂ solutions in polar organic solvents by precipitation with large counterions. Thereby isolated anions as well as one, two or three‐dimensional polymeric anionic substructures are established, in which SnI₃^– and SnI₄^2– groups are linked by weak Sn…I interactions. Examples are the iodostannates [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][SnI₄] ( 1 ), (Ph₄P)₂[Sn₂I₆] ( 2 ), [Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃][Sn₂I₆] ( 3 ), [Fe(dmf)₆][SnI₃]₂ ( 4 ) and (Pr₄N)[SnI₃] ( 5 ), which have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.
