4,5-Bis[(triorganotin)thiolato]-1,3-dithiole-2-thione, (R3Sn)2(dmit), 4,5-bis[(triorganotin)thiolato]-1,3-dithiole-2-one, (R3Sn)2(dmio), compounds: Crystal structures of (cyclohexyl3Sn)2(dmio), (Ph3Sn)2(dmit) and (Ph3Sn)2(dmio)

The synthesis and crystal structures of 4,5-bis[(triorganotin)thiolato]-1,3-dithiole-2-thione, (R₃Sn)₂(dmit), 1, and 4,5-bis[(triorganotin)thiolato]-1,3-dithiole-2-one, (R₃Sn)₂(dmio), 2, compounds are reported. Compounds, (1 or 2: R = Ph or cyclohexyl, Cy), have been obtained from reaction of R₃SnCl with Cs₂dmit or Na₂dmio. The presence of the two tin centres in (2: R = Ph) is shown in the ¹³C NMR spectrum by the couplings of both Sn atoms to the dmio olefinic carbons with J values of 29.4 and 24.7 Hz. The δ¹¹⁹ Sn values for (1: R = Ph) and (2: R = Ph) differ by about 30 ppm, values being −20.7 and −50.1 ppm, respectively, in CDCl₃ solution. X-ray structure determinations for (1: R = Ph) and (2: R = Ph or Cy) reveal the compounds to have 4-coordinate, distorted tetrahedral tin centres. The dithiolato ligands, dmit and dmio, act as bridging ligands, in contrast to their chelating roles in R₂Sn(dmit) and R₂Sn(dmio). A further difference between R₂Sn(dmit) and R₂Sn(dmio), on one hand, and 1 and 2 on the other, is that intermolecular Sn-S and Sn-O interactions are absent in 1 and 2. However, weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions are found in (1: R = Ph) [C-H?π] and in (2: R = Ph) [C-H?π and C-H?O].     

Synthesis, vibrational and NMR spectroscopic characterization of [N(CH3)4][IO2F2] and X-ray crystal structure of [N(CH3)4]2[IO2F2][HF2]

The salt, [N(CH₃)₄][IO₂F₂], was prepared from [N(CH₃)₄][IO₃] and 49% aqueous HF, and characterized by Raman, infrared, and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. Crystals of [N(CH₃)₄]₂[IO₂F₂][HF₂] were obtained by reduction of [N(CH₃)₄][cis-IO₂F₄] in the presence of [N(CH₃)₄][F] in CH₃CN solvent and were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction: C2/m, a = 14.6765(2) Å, b = 8.60490(10) Å, c = 13.9572(2) Å, β = 120.2040(10)°, V = 1523.35(3) Å³, Z = 4 and R = 0.0192 at 210 K. The crystal structure consists of two IO₂⁻F₂ anions that are symmetrically bridged by two H⁻F₂ anions, forming a [F₂O₂I(FHF)₂IO₂F₂]⁴⁻ dimer. The symmetric bridging coordination for the H⁻F₂ anion in this structure represents a new bonding modality for the bifluoride anion.     

Reactions of isonitriles with [Fe3(CO)12] and [Ru3(CO)12] monitored by electrospray mass spectrometry: structural characterisation of [Fe3(CO)10(CNPh)2] and [Ru4(CO)11(μ3-η-CNPh)2(CNPh)]

The reactions of [Fe₃(CO)₁₂] or [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with RNC (R=Ph, C₆H₄OMe-p or CH₂SO₂C₆H₄Me-p) have been investigated using electrospray mass spectrometry. Species arising from substitution of up to six ligands were detected for [Fe₃(CO)₁₂], but the higher-substituted compounds were too unstable to be isolated. The crystal structure of [Fe₃(CO)₁₀(CNPh)₂] was determined at 150 and 298 K to show that both isonitrile ligands were trans to each other on the same Fe atom. For [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] substitution of up to three COs was found, together with the formation of higher-nuclearity clusters. [Ru₄(CO)₁₁(CNPh)₃] was structurally characterised and has a spiked-triangular Ru₄ core with two of the CNPh ligands coordinated in an unusual μ₃-η² mode.     

Vibrational spectra of the peroxotantalates (NH4)3[Ta(O2)4], K3[Ta(O2)4], Rb3[Ta(O2)4] and Cs3[Ta(O2)4] and the crystal structure of Rb3[Ta(O2)4]

The compounds (NH₄)₃[Ta(O₂)₄], K₃[Ta(O₂)₄], Rb₃[Ta(O₂)₄] and Cs₃[Ta(O₂)₄] have been prepared and investigated by X-ray powder methods as well as Raman- and IR-spectroscopy. In the case of Rb₃[Ta(O₂)₄] the structure has been solved from single crystal data. It is shown that all these compounds are isotypic and crystallize in the K₃[Cr(O₂)₄] type (SG , No. 121). The infrared- and Raman spectra (recorded on powdered samples) are discussed with respect to the internal vibrations of the peroxo-group and the dodecahedral [Ta(O₂)₄]³⁻ ion. Symmetry coordinates for the [Ta(O₂)₄]³⁻ ion are given from which the vibrational modes of the O-O stretching vibrations of the O₂²⁻ groups, the Ta-O stretching vibrations and the Ta-O bending vibrations are deduced.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystallographic structures of [HGa(NMe2)2]2 and [PhGa(NHNMe2)2]2, and room-temperature conversions of [HGa(NMe2)2]2 to (HGaNH)n and (HGaNMe)n

The reactivity of bis(dimethylamido) complexes of phenyl- and hydridogallium with ammonia, dimethylamine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine is described. Synthesis of the starting gallium hydride, [HGa(NMe₂)₂]₂, was achieved in nearly quantitative yield from the reaction of HGaCl₂(quinuclidine) with LiNMe₂. In neat ammonia or methylamine at room temperature both dimethylamido ligands in [HGa(NMe₂)₂]₂ were substituted by a single equivalent of NH₃ or MeNH₂ to produce amorphous (HGaNH)_n or (HGaNMe)_n, respectively. In contrast, the reaction of [PhGa(NMe₂)₂]₂ with neat Me₂NNH₂, at room temperature consumed two equivalents of the substituted hydrazine to form [PhGa(NHNMe₂)₂]₂ in a 73% yield. Single crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses of [HGa(NMe₂)₂]₂ and [PhGa(NHNMe₂)₂]₂ establish that in the solid state both compounds adopt a cyclic Ga-N-Ga-N structure with a crystallographic center of symmetry located at the center of the ring.     

Structural study of Mn2(CO)8[P(NMe2)3]2

An X-ray crystal structure determination for the bimetallic complex Mn₂(CO)₈-[P(NMe₂)₃]₂ reveals that the P(NMe₂)₃ ligands are trans to the Mn---Mn bond and the Mn---Mn bond distance is relatively long, 2.946(1) Å.     

Some further studies of estertin compounds. crystal structures of [NEt4][MeO2CCH2CH2Sn(dmio)2] (dmio = 1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato) and (MeO2CCH2CH2)2SnX2[X2 = I2, (NCS)2 or Cl, Br]

Estertn compounds, (MeO₂CCH₂CH₂)₂SnX₂ [X₂ = I₂ (2); X₂ = Br₂ (9); X₂ = Cl, Br (4)) or X₂ = (NCS)₂ (3)] have been obtained by halide exchange reactions of (MeO₂CCH₂CH₂)₂SnCl₂. Crystal structure determinations of 2–4 revealed chelating MeO₂CCH₂CH₂ units with distorted octahedral geometries at tin. The Sn---O bond lengths in the isothiocyanato complex, 3, are shorter [2.390(11) to 2.498(12), mean 2.439 Å], with the chelate bite angles, C---Sn---O, larger [74.3(7) to 78.2(6), mean 76.0°] than those in the halide analogues 2 and 4 [Sn---O = 2.519(2) to 2.541(8), mean 2.530 Å; C---Sn---O 72.8(3) to 73.9(4), mean 73.3°]. ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and IR spectra of 2–4 and 9 were determined in CDCl₃ solution: the NMR spectra of (MeO₂CCH₂CH₂)₂SnX₂ show the following trends: (i) both δ¹H and δ¹³C, increase and (ii) both ²J (Sn---H) and ¹J(Sn---C) decrease in the sequence X₂ = (NCS)₂, Cl₂, ClBr, Br₂ and I₂. The MeO₂CCH₂CH₂ and dmio groups (dmio = 1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato) are all chelating groups in (MeO₂CCH₂CH₂)₂Sn(dmio) (5). As shown by X-ray crystallography, the tin atom in the anion of solid [Q][MeO₂CCH₂CH₂Sn(dmio)₂] 6 (Q = NEt₄) forms 5 strong bonds [to C and the 4 thiolato S atoms, Sn---S 2.459(2) to 2.559(2) Å], arranged in a near trigonal bipyramidal array. There is an additional Intramolecular but weaker, interaction with the carbonyl oxygen atom [Sn---O = 3.111(5) Å]; v(C=O) = 1714 cm⁻¹ in solid 6 (Q = NEt₄). NMR spectra of 5 and 6 are also reported.     

[P3N3F5NS(O)Cl] and [{P4N4F6(NS(Cl)N)}2], the first chloro imino- and chloro bis(imino) sulfinates

In CH₃CN solution at −30 °C, [TAS]⁺[P₃N₃F₅NS(O)F]⁻ (2) is formed from TASF and P₃N₃F₅NSO, the compound readily decomposes to give P₃N₃F₆ and [TAS]⁺[NSO]⁻. [TAS]⁺[P₃N₃F₅NS(O)Cl]⁻ (3) and [TAS⁺]₂ [{P₄N₄F₆(NS(Cl)N)}₂]²⁻ (5) were prepared from TASCl and P₃N₃F₅NSO and 1,5-P₄N₄F₆(NSO)₂, respectively, and characterised by X-ray crystallography.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic behavior of a new three-dimensional Manganese phosphite-oxalate: [C2N2H10][Mn2(OH2)2(HPO3)2(C2O4)]

A novel manganese phosphite-oxalate, [C₂N₂H₁₀][Mn₂^II(OH₂)₂(HPO₃)₂(C₂O₄)] has been hydothermally synthesized and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure consists of neutral manganese phosphite layers, [Mn(HPO₃)]_∞, formed by MnO₆ octahedra and HPO₃ units, cross-linked by the oxalate moieties. The organic cations occupy the middle of the 8-membered one-dimensional channels. Magnetic studies indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn²⁺ ions.     

Formation of [Cp2TiSbMe2]2, [Cp2TiSb(SiMe3)2]2 and [Cp2TiCl]2·2Mes4Sb2

Reactions of [Cp₂Ti(btmsa)] (btmsa = bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene) with R₄Sb₂ (R = Me, Me₃Si) give [Cp₂TiSbMe₂]₂ (1) or [Cp₂TiSb(SiMe₃)₂]₂ (2) respectively. [Cp₂TiCl]₂·2Mes₄Sb₂ (3) is serendipitously formed from [Cp₂Ti(btmsa)] and Mes₂SbH containing NH₄Cl traces.

Second-sphere coordination in hexaamminecobalt(III) salt with organic sulphonate anion: Synthesis, characterisation and X-ray crystal structure of [Co(NH3)6](CH3SO3)3

Reaction of hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride with the silver salt of methanesulphonic acid in aqueous medium (1:3 molar ratio) forms hexaamminecobalt(III) methanesulphonate, [Co(NH₃)₆](CH₃SO₃)₃, in high yield. This cobalt(III) complex has been characterized by spectroscopic techniques (UV/visible, IR and NMR) and its solubility product determined. The X-ray crystal structure shows that the [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ cations interact at the second sphere by sharing edges with the anions, via N–H  O hydrogen bonds. The structure is related to that of [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl(CH₃SO₃)₂, but is modified to accommodate additional anions in place of Cl⁻.     

Novel octahedral nickel(II) dithiocarbamates with bi- or tetradentate N-donor ligands: X-ray structures of [Ni(Bzppzdtc)(phen)2]ClO4 · CHCl3 and [Ni(Bz2dtc)2(cyclam)]

A series of novel octahedral nickel(II) dithiocarbamate complexes involving bidentate nitrogen-donor ligands (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) or a tetradentate ligand (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacycloteradecane) of the composition [Ni(BzMetdtc)(phen)₂]ClO₄ (1), [Ni(Pe₂dtc)(phen)₂]ClO₄ (2), [Ni(Bzppzdtc)(phen)₂]ClO₄ · CHCl₃ (3), [Ni(Bzppzdtc)(phen)₂](SCN) (4), [Ni(BzMetdtc)(bpy)₂]ClO₄ · 2H₂O (5), [Ni(Pe₂dtc)(cyclam)]ClO₄ (6), [Ni(BzMetdtc)₂(cyclam)] (7), [Ni(Bz₂dtc)₂(cyclam)] (8) and [Ni(Bz₂dtc)₂(phen)] (9) (BzMetdtc = N,N-benzyl-methyldithiocarbamate(1-) anion, Pe₂dtc = N,N-dipentyldithiocarbamate(1-) anion, Bz₂dtc = N,N-dibenzyldithiocarbamate(1-) anion, Bzppzdtc = 4-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate(1-) anion), have been synthesized. Spectroscopic (electronic and infrared), magnetic moment and molar conductivity data, and thermal behaviour of the complexes are discussed. Single crystal X-ray analysis of 3 and 8 confirmed a distorted octahedral arrangement in the vicinity of the nickel atom with a N₄S₂ donor set. They represent the first X-ray structures of such type complexes. The catalytic influence of complexes 2, 3, 6, and 7 on graphite oxidation was studied and discussed.     

The metallation of imino(triphenyl)phosphorane by ethylmagnesium chloride: The synthesis, isolation and X-ray structure of [Ph3P=NMgCl·O=P(NMe2)3]2

Imino(triphenyl)phosphorane, Ph₃P=NH 1a, is metallated by ethylmagnesium chloride to give the N-magnesioiminophosphorane complex [Ph₃P=NMgCl·O=P(NMe₂)₃]₂ 4, whose X-ray structure has been determined.     

Chalcogen-capped ruthenium carbonyl clusters derived from diphosphazane mono- and dichalcogenides of the type X2P(E)N(R)PX2 and X2P(E)N(R)P(E)X2 (E = S or Se)

Reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with diphosphazane monoselenides Ph₂PN(R)P(Se)Ph₂ [R = (S)-∗CHMePh (L⁴), R = CHMe₂ (L⁵)] yield mainly the selenium bicapped tetraruthenium clusters [Ru₄(μ₄-Se)₂(μ-CO)(CO)₈{μ-P,P-Ph₂PN(R)PPh₂}] (1, 3). The selenium monocapped triruthenium cluster [Ru₃(μ₃-Se)(μ_sb-CO)(CO)₇{κ²-P,P-Ph₂PN((S)-∗CHMePh)PPh₂}] (2) is obtained only in the case of L⁴. An analogous reaction of the diphosphazane monosulfide (PhO)₂PN(Me)P(S)(OPh)₂ (L⁶) that bears a strong π-acceptor phosphorus shows a different reactivity pattern to yield the triruthenium clusters, [Ru₃(μ₃-S)(μ₃-CO)(CO)₇{μ-P,P-(PhO)₂PN(Me)P(OPh)₂}] (9) (single sulfur transfer product) and [Ru₃(μ₃-S)₂(CO)₅{κ²-P,P-(PhO)₂PN(Me)P(OPh)₂}{μ-P,P-(PhO)₂PN(Me)P(OPh)₂}] (10) (double sulfur transfer product). The reactions of diphosphazane dichalcogenides with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ yield the chalcogen bicapped tetraruthenium clusters [Ru₄(μ₄-E)₂(μ-CO)(CO)₈{μ-P,P-Ph₂PN(R)PPh₂}] [R = (S)-∗CHMePh, E = S (6); R = CHMe₂, E = S (7); R = CHMe₂, E = Se (3)]. Such a tetraruthenium cluster [Ru₄(μ₄-S)₂(μ- CO)(CO)₈{μ-P,P-(PhO)₂PN(Me)P(OPh)₂}] (11) is also obtained in small quantities during crystallization of cluster 9. The dynamic behavior of cluster 10 in solution is probed by NMR studies. The structural data for clusters 7, 9, 10 and 11 are compared and discussed.     

Investigating the Thermolysis Products of [Cd10Se4(SePh)12(P n Pr3)4] – The New Cluster Ion [Cd17Se4(SePh)28]2?

Analytical studies on the thermolysis products from [Cd₁₀Se₄(SePh)₁₂(PnPr₃)₄] are reported leading to the identification of the doubly negatively charged species [Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]²⁻. Electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) has been successfully applied to analyse the composition of a polycrystalline precipitate after treatment with SePh⁻ in tetrahydrofuran (THF). Presumably, SePh⁻ reacts with the insoluble (polymeric) cluster product as a charging ligand leading to dissolved monomeric units of the cluster anion [Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]²⁻. This cluster anion could also be crystallized from solutions as [Na(thf)₂18-crown-6][Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈] and [Na(dme)₃]₂[Cd₁₇Se₄(SePh)₂₈]. The experimental results promise a wider applicability of the charged ligand exchange method for the electrospray mass spectrometric characterization of neutral clusters and to obtain intensive monodisperse cluster ion beams for further gas-phase studies. Dedicated to Prof. Dieter Fenske on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Synthesis and characterization of new silicon-centred tin-dendrimers Si[CH2CH2SnR3]4. Single-crystal X-ray structure of the tetrahydrofuran adduct of tetrakis[2-(tribromostannyl)ethyl]silane

A series of novel first-generation silicon-centred tin dendrimers Si(CH₂CH₂SnR₃)₄ [R = CH₃ (3), ⁱBu (4), CCCH₃ (5), C₆H₄CH₃-4 (6), C₆H₄OCH₃-4 (7), (CH₂)₄OCH₂CH₂OCH₃ (8), CH₂SiMe₃ (9)] was prepared by the reaction of Si(CH₂CH₂SnBr₃)₄ (2) with the appropriate Grignard reagent or LiCH₂SiMe₃ in tetrahydrofuran. The new compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR studies (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn), mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF, EI) and elemental analyses. The molecular structure of Si[CH₂CH₂SnBr₃(THF)₂]₂[CH₂-CH₂SnBr₃(THF)]₂ (2a) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with Ene-yne and Alkoxy-silyl Functionalized Compounds. The Crystal Structure of (μ-H)Ru3(CO)9[μ3-η2-HC=N(CH2)3Si(OEt)3]

Ru₃(CO)₁₂ has been reacted with the compounds hex-1-en-3-yne [EtC≡CCH=CH₂], 2-methyl-hex-1-en-3-yne [EtC≡CC(=CH₂)CH₃] and with 3(ethoxy-silyl)propyl isocyanate [(EtO)₃Si(CH₂)₃NCO] and the compound tb [(EtO)₃Si(CH₂)₃NHC(=O)OCH₂C≡CCH₂OC(=O)NH(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] in hydrocarbon solution. Some reactions in CH₃OH/KOH solution (followed by acidification) have also been performed. The main products of the reactions with ene-ynes are the clusters Ru₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₂L₂ (L = C₆H₈, C₇H₁₀) and their demolition products, the “ferrole” Ru₂(CO)₆L₂ complexes. One of the isomers of Ru₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₂L₂, and Ru₂(CO)₆L₂ (L = C₇H₁₀) have been reacted with vinyl-triethoxysilane [(EtO)₃SiCH=CH₂]: these reactions did not afford complexes containing new carbon–carbon bonds or triethoxy-silyl groups. Only polymerization of vinyl-triethoxysilane occurred. The reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with triethoxysilyl-propyl-isocyanate and tb (in the presence of Me₃NO) lead to the same products, that is the isomeric complexes (μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₉[C=N(H)(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] with a “perpendicular” ligand (complex 3, as proposed on the basis of spectroscopic results) and (μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₉[HC=N(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] with a “parallel” ligand (complex 4, as confirmed by a X-ray analysis). The reaction pathways leading to these products are discussed. Complex 4 has been reacted with tetraethyl orthosilicate and the resulting material has been characterized. These reactions are part of a study on the synthesis of inorganic-organometallic materials through sol–gel techniques. This paper is dedicated to Prof. Gunther Schmid in the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

Structure of the Ligated Ag60 Nanoparticle [{Cl@Ag12}@Ag48(dppm)12] (where dppm=bis(diphenylphosphino)methane)

A novel bisphosphine ligated Ag₆₀ nanocluster, [{Cl@Ag₁₂}@Ag₄₈(dppm)₁₂], has been dis-covered and characterized by X-ray crystallography. It consists of a central chloride located inside an icosahedral silver core layer, which is further encased by a second shell of 48 silver atoms/ions, which are capped with 12 bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) ligands. Due to lack of sufficient material the cluster could not be further characterized by other methods. DFT calculations were carried out on the cation [{Cl@Ag₁₂}@Ag₄₈(dppm)₁₂]⁺ to determine if it corresponds to a superatom with a core count of n=58. The DFT optimized structure is in agreement with X-ray ndings, but the low value of the HOMO-LUMO gap does not support superatom stability.     

X-ray diffraction study of [Ru(NH3)5Cl][ReCl6] and [Ru(NH3)5Cl]2[ReCl6]Cl2 and their thermolysis products. Crystal-chemical analysis of the Ru-Re system

Binary complex salts [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl][ReCl₆] and [Ru(NH₃)₅Cl]₂[ReCl₆]Cl₂ were synthesized and characterized. An X-ray diffraction analysis showed that they were isostructural with the previously obtained isoformula salts [Rh(NH₃)₅Cl][OsCl₆] and [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]₂[PtCl₆]Cl₂, respectively. Thermolysis of these compounds under hydrogen and helium was studied. According to X-ray phase analysis data, bimetallic solid solutions Ru_0.67Re_0.33 and Ru_0.50Re_0.50 were the final products of thermolysis. Their unit cell parameters correspond to the characteristics of alloys with similar compositions. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2009 by S. A. Martynova, K. V. Yusenko, I. V. Korolkov, I. A.
