The compounds KAs4O6 X (X=Cl,Br, I) and NH4As4O6 X (X=Br,I): Hydrothermal syntheses and structure determinations

The crystal structures of five isotypic hexagonal compounds with general formulaMAs₄O₆ X [M=K, NH₄;X=Cl, Br, I; space group: P622;Z=1] were determined from 370 single crystal X-ray data and refined toR values <0.05. The structure type is characterized by neutral charged [As₂O₃] sheets arranged parallel (00.1). The As atoms of neighbouring two sheets point to each other and the sheets are combined by interlayeredM andX atoms, respectively. TheM atoms are coordinated to twelve oxygen atoms, theX atoms are coordinated to twelve arsenic atoms. In both cases the coordination polyhedron is a hexagonal prism. The compounds were synthesized by thermal treatments of cubic As₂O₃ and potassium or ammonium haloids in a saturated aqueous solution of potassium acetate resp. ammonia [500 K, saturation vapour pressure].

Zusammenfassung Die Kristallstrukturen der fünf isotypen hexagonalen Verbindungen mit der allgemeinen FormelMAs₄O₆ X [M=K, NH₄;X=Cl, Br, I; Raumgruppe: P622;Z=1] wurden anhand von 370 Einkristall-Röntgendaten bestimmt und aufR-Werte <0.05 verfeinert. Der Strukturtyp ist ausgezeichnet durch neutrale [As₂O₃]-Schichten, die parallel (00.1) angeordnet sind. Die As-Atome zweier benachbarter Schichten weisen jeweils aufeinander zu, und die Schichten selbst werden durch zwischengelagerteM- bzw.X-Atome verbunden. DieM-Atome werden jeweils von zwölf O-Atomen, dieX-Atome von zwölf As-Atomen umgeben. Das Koordinationspolyeder ist in beiden Fällen ein hexagonales Primsa. Die einzelnen Verbindungen wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen aus kubischem As₂O₃ und dem jeweiligen Kalium- oder Ammoniumhalogenid in einer gesättigten wäßrigen Lösung von Kaliumacetat bzw. Ammoniak synthetisiert (500 K, Sättigungsdampfdruck).

     

Synthesis and crystal structure of layered oxyhalides BaPbBi3Nb2O11X (X = Cl, Br, I)

Three new bismuth oxyhalides BaPbBi₃Nb₂O₁₁X (X = Cl, Br, I), including the first perovskite bismuth oxyiodide, were prepared by ceramic route. Their crystal structure is formed by intergrowth of Sillén (PbBiO₂X) and Aurivillius (BaBi₂Nb₂O₉) phases. The results of Rietveld refinements show that the peculiarities of the building blocks (in particular, the distribution of Ba²⁺ and Bi³⁺) remain intact upon formation of the intergrowth structure. The Ba²⁺ cations prefer pure-oxygen to mixed oxygen-halogen environment which can be explained on the basis of bond valence method.     

Syntheses,structures, and characterization of new lead(II)-tellurium(IV)-oxide halides: Pb3Te2O6X2 and Pb3TeO4X2 (X = Cl or Br)

The syntheses, structures, and characterization of four new lead(II)-tellurium(IV)-oxide halides, Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)X(2) and Pb(3)TeO(4)X(2) (X = Cl or Br) are reported. The materials are synthesized by solid-state techniques, using Pb(3)O(2)Cl(2) or Pb(3)O(2)Br(2) and TeO(2) as reagents. The compounds have three-dimensional structural topologies consisting of lead-oxide halide polyhedra connected to tellurium oxide groups. In addition, the Pb(2+) and Te(4+) cations are in asymmetric coordination environments attributable to their stereoactive lone pair. We also demonstrate that Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)X(2) and Pb(2)TeO(4)X(2) can be interconverted reversibly through the loss or addition of TeO(2). X-ray data: Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Cl(2), monoclinic, space group C2/m (No. 12), a = 16.4417(11) A, b = 5.6295(4) A, c = 10.8894(7) A, beta = 103.0130(10) degrees, Z = 4; Pb(3)Te(2)O(6)Br(2), monoclinic, space group C2/m (No. 12), a = 16.8911(8) A, b = 5.6804(2) A, c = 11.0418(5) A, beta = 104.253(2) degrees, Z = 4; Pb(3)TeO(4)Cl(2), orthorhombic, space group Bmmb (No. 63), a = 5.576(1) A, b = 5.559(1) A, c = 12.4929(6) A, Z = 4; Pb(3)TeO(4)Br(2), orthorhombic, space group Bmmb (No. 63), a = 5.6434(4) A, b = 5.6434(5) A, c = 12.9172(6) A, Z = 4.     

Topological characterization of HXO2 (X = Cl, Br, I) isomerization

The isomerization reactions of HOOX --> HOXO --> HXO2 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been studied by using the density functional theory. The breakage and formation of the chemical bonds of the titled reactions have been discussed by the topological analysis method of electronic density. The calculated results show that there is a transitional structure of a three-membered ring on each of the isomerization reaction paths. The "energy transition state (ETS)" and the "structure transition state (STS)" in all of the studied reactions have been found. In all these reactions, the position of the structure transition state and the scope of the structure transition region correlate well with the reaction energy. The STS appears after the ETS in the exothermic reaction but it appears before the ETS in the endothermic reaction. The less reaction energy there is, the wider scope of the structure transition region.     

Halide coordination of perhalocyclohexasilane Si6X12 (X=Cl or Br)

The addition of halide anions (X' = Cl(-), Br(-), or I(-)) to perhalocyclohexasilane Si(6)X(12) (X = Cl or Br) led to the formation of complexes comprising [Si(6)X(12)X'(2)](2-) dianions. An upfield shift in the (29)Si NMR spectra was noted upon coordination, and structural determination by X-ray crystallography showed that the dianions adopt an "inverse sandwich" structure where the six cyclic silicon atoms form a planar hexagon with the two halide anions X' located on the 6-fold axis equally disposed above and below the plane of the Si(6) ring. Additionally, these apical X' atoms are within the van der Waals bonding distance to the silicon ring atoms, indicating a strong interaction between X' and silicon atoms. These results detail crystallographic variations within the halogen series providing further insight into the nature of the Lewis acid sites above and below the Si(6)X(12) ring, where interactions with hard Lewis bases such as halide anions are observed. Interestingly, the stereochemistry of the silicon atoms in [Si(6)X(12)X'(2)](2-) is not affected much by the size or electronegativity of the halogen atoms.     

Pb2PdX6 (X = Cl,Br) – Verbindungen mit gestreckten [PdX6]-Oktaedern

Pb₂PdX₆ (X = Cl, Br) – Compounds with Elongated [PdX₆] Octahedra In contradiction to published data new compounds in the systems PbX₂—PdX₂ (X = Cl, Br) with the formula Pb₂PdCl₆ (I) and Pb₂PdBr₆ (II) were found. These were synthesized by thermal treatment of the corresponding mixtures of PbX₂ and PdX₂ (X = Cl, Br). X-ray single crystal structure analysis shows isotypism of I and II, monoclinic, P2₁/c (No. 14), Z = 2, I: a = 9.037(2) Å, b = 6.224(1) Å, c = 8.162(1) Å, β = 90.31(7)β, II: a = 9.512(7) Å, b = 6.584(8) Å, c = 8.383(3) Å, β = 90.07(5)º. Strongly elongated PdX₆ octahedra are found in the crystal structure. Additional characterisation of the compounds was done by DTA, IR/RAMAN spectra and ²⁰⁷Pb MAS NMR investigations. Remarcable low field shifts were found for ²⁰⁷Pb.     

Coordination Polyhedra RhX6 (X = F,Cl, Br) in Crystal Structures

Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra (VDP) and the method of intersecting spheres were used to perform crystal-chemical analyses of compounds containing complexes [Rh _a X _n ] ^z– (X = F, Cl, Br). It was found that, irrespective of oxidation number (+3, +4, or +5), rhodium atoms always exhibit the coordination number 6 with respect to the halogen atoms and have octahedral coordination. The influence of site symmetry and the valence state of Rh on the distortion of RhX₆ octahedra are considered. The electronic configuration of the Rh atoms is shown to influence the symmetry of their valence-force field within the crystal structure.     

Ce53Fe12S90X3 (X = Cl, Br, I): the first rare-earth transition-metal sulfide halides

The compounds Ce53Fe12S90X3 (X = Cl, Br, I), which represent the first examples of rare-earth transition-metal sulfide halides, were prepared using the reactive-flux method, through reaction of Ce2S3, FeS, or Fe and S in a CeX3 flux at 1320 K. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are isostructural, crystallizing in the trigonal space group Rm with Z = 1 [Ce53Fe12S90Cl3, a = 13.9094(9) A, c = 21.604(2) A, V = 3619.7(4) A3; Ce(53)Fe(12)S(90)Br(3), a = 13.916(1) A, c = 21.824(2) A, V = 3660.0(5) A3; Ce53Fe12S90I3, a = 13.863(3) A, c = 21.944(6) A, V = 3652(2) A3]. The structure adopted is a stuffed variant of the La52Fe12S90 structure type. Fe2S9 dimers of face-sharing octahedra are linked by face- and vertex-sharing capped CeS6 trigonal prisms, forming a three-dimensional framework containing cuboctahedral cavities of two sizes. The smaller cavities accommodate alternative sites for disordered cerium atoms. The larger cavities, which remain empty in the parent structure, are filled by halogen atoms in Ce53Fe12S90X3. Alternatively, the structure can be described as a 9-fold superstructure of the Mn5Si3 structure type (P6(3)/mcm), with a = a' and c = 3c'. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest that Ce53Fe12S90I3 may order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures.     

HCHO+X(X=F、Cl、Br)的反应机理

采用CCSD/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)方法研究了HCHO与卤素原子X(X=F、Cl、Br)的反应机理. 计算结果表明, 卤素原子X(X=F、Cl、Br)主要通过直接提取HCHO中的H原子生成HCO+HX(X=F、Cl、Br). 另外还可以生成稳定的中间体, 中间体再通过卤原子夺氢和氢原子直接解离两个反应通道分别生成HCO+HX(X=F、Cl、Br)和H+XCHO(X=F、Cl、Br). 其中卤原子夺氢通道为主反应通道, HCO和HX(X=F、Cl、Br)为主要的反应产物; 且三个反应的活化能均较低, 说明此类反应很容易进行, 计算结果与实验结果符合很好. 电子密度拓扑分析显示, 在HCHO+X反应通道(b)中出现了T型结构过渡态, 结构过渡态(STS)位于能量过渡态(ETS)之后. 并且按F、Cl、Br的顺序, 结构过渡态出现得越来越晚.     

Mechanochemical Activation of Solid Salts K2PtX6 (X = Cl,Br)

Mechanochemical treatment of solid-phase K₂PtX₆ salts in a vibrating mill in an argon or air atmosphere produced paramagnetic Pt(III) complexes via the homolytic cleavage of the Pt–X bond. Lewis acid sites were found on the surface of the mechanically activated K₂PtCl₆ salt using the paramagnetic probe method. The sites can be attributed to coordinatively unsaturated Pt(IV) complexes formed via Pt–Cl bond heterolysis.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Vibrational Properties of Two Lead Azide Halides PbN3X (X = Cl,Br)

Abstract: Two new lead azide halides, PbN₃X (X = Cl, Br), were precipitated from aqueous solutions and structurally analyzed by both X-ray single-crystal/powder diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy, in addition to density-functional theory calculations. PbN₃Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/m (no. 11) with a = 5.5039(11), b = 4.3270(9), c = 7.6576(15) Å, β = 101.28(3)° and adopts a structure with alternating layers of cations and anions. PbN₃Br crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with a = 7.9192(2), b = 4.2645(1), c = 11.1396(3) Å, and the cations and anions are alternating crosswise. Within PbN₃Cl, a Pb²⁺ cation is surrounded by five azide and four chloride anions whereas, in PbN₃Br, the coordination consists of five azide and three bromide anions. Both structures contain chain-like [Pb₂X₂]²⁺ units with Pb–Cl = 2.95–3.21 Å and Pb–Br = 3.03–3.38 Å, and the N₃^– dumbbell is capped by five Pb²⁺ with Pb–N = 2.79–2.91 Å in PbN₃Cl and with Pb–N = 2.69–2.89 Å in PbN₃Br. The infrared and Raman spectra show the typical frequencies of a slightly asymmetric N₃^– unit, in good agreement with DFT phonon calculation. Thermal analyses reveal PbN₃Cl to be stable up to 290 °C before it explodes to yield PbCl₂, metallic Pb, and gaseous N₂.     

Schwingungs-Raman-Spektren von Hexahalogenokomplexen von OsIV (X = Cl,I) und IrIV (X = Cl,Br) bei 80 K

Vibrational Raman Spectra of Hexahalo Complexes of Os^IV (X = Cl, I) and Ir^IV (X = Cl, Br) at 80 K The Resonance-Raman (RR) spectra of the tetrabutyl- resp. tetraethylammonium salts of [OsCl₆]^2?, [OsI₆]^2?, [IrCl₆]^2?, and [IrBr₆]^2? have been investigated with the excitation-lines of an Ar⁺ and Kr⁺ laser. Devices with a movable sample holder for low-temperature experiments (80 K) are described. The anormal intensities of some of the Ra-active fundamentals are attributed to the RR effect. As a rule the deformation vibration υ₅(T_2g) is RR enhanced if excited within a π—π*(dt_2g)-CT-transition and the stretching vibration υ₂(E_g) is RR-enhanced within a π—σ*(de_g)-CT-transition. The dispersion of the degree of depolarisation of the three Ra-active fundamentals of [IrBr₆]^2? demonstrates, that this rule cannot only be applicated to the symmetrical but also to the antisymmetrical part of the scattering tensor.     

The IrX6 Coordination Polyhedra (X = F,Cl, Br) in Crystal Structures

The Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra (VDP) and the method of intersecting spheres were used to perform crystal-chemical analysis of compounds containing [Ir _a X _b ] ^z– complexes (X = F, Cl, or Br). The coordination number of Ir atoms with respect to halogen atoms was found to be 6, irrespective of the oxidation state (III, IV, or V), and the coordination polyhedra formed by Ir were found to be always octahedra. The influence of the site symmetry and the valence state of the Ir atoms on the distortion of the IrX₆ octahedra is considered. It is shown that characteristics of the VDP of Ir atoms can be used for quantitative estimation of the crystal-chemical role of Ir atoms in the halide structures.     

Particular topological complexity of lead oxide blocks in Pb31O22X18 (X = Br, Cl)

Dark-green platy crystals of the new compound Pb31O22Br10Cl8 (1) have been obtained by rapid quenching of a lead oxide halide melt. The structure of 1 (triclinic, P1, a = 12.1192(7) angstroms, b = 16.2489(10) angstroms, c = 18.3007(11) angstroms, alpha = 93.104(2) degrees, beta = 95.809(2) degrees, gamma = 111.252(1) degrees, V = 3325.4(3) angstroms3, Z = 2) can be viewed as incorporation of [PbX6]4- halide units (X = Br, Cl) into the defect PbO matrix. The latter represents a two-dimensional [O22Pb30]16+ cationic layer of OPb4 tetrahedra that can be derived from the [OPb] tetrahedral layer observed in tetragonal PbO. The layer consists of 22 symmetrically inequivalent OPb4 tetrahedra and represents the topologically most complicated arrangement of tetrahedra known to date.

Die Gadoliniumcarbidhalogenide Gd4C2X3 (X = Cl,Br)

The Gadolinium Carbide Halides, Gd₄C₂X₃ (X = Cl, Br) The compounds Gd₄C₂X₃ (X = Cl, Br) and Tb₄C₂Br₃ have been prepared by reaction of the metals (RE), REX₃, and C in sealed Ta capsules at 1 100° and 1 300°C, respectively. Monophasic samples of Gd₄C₂Br₃ and Tb₄C₂Br₃ were obtained by reacting stoichiometric mixtures of the starting materials for five days. The needle shaped crystals are bronze-coloured and sensitive to air and moisture. Gd₄C₂X₃ crystallizes in the space group Pnma (No. 62) with lattice constants a = 1 059.6(4), b = 368.4(1), c = 1 962.7(8) pm (Gd₄C₂Cl₃), a = 1 084.4(1), b = 373.0(1), c = 2 036.1(1) pm (Gd₄C₂Br₃). According to Guinier photographs, Tb₄C₂Br₃ is isotypic (a = 1 074.3(2), b = 370.6(1), c = 2 019.4(1) pm). In the crystal structure C is octahedrally coordinated by Gd. The Gd₆ octahedra are linked via common edges to form corrugated layers. The X-anions coordinate all free edges and corners of these layers and connect them via Xⁱ? Xⁱ contacts parallel [001]. Gd₄C₂Br₃ shows metallic conductivity. The magnetic susceptibility follows at high temperatures a Curie Weiss law with an effective moment of 7.95 μ_B. At temperatures below 50 K antiferromagnetic order is observed.     

Formation and characterization of the uranium methylidene complexes CH2 = UHX (X = F, Cl, and Br)

The reactions between uranium atoms and CH3X (X = F, Cl, and Br) molecules are investigated in a solid argon matrix. The major products formed on ultraviolet irradiation are the CH2=UHX methylidene complexes. DFT calculations predict these triplet ground-state structures to be stable and to have significant agostic interactions. Parallels between the uranium and analogous thorium methylidene complexes are discussed.     

The reactions of K2ReX6 (X = Br OR I) and Re3X9 (X = Cl,Br OR I) with alkyl and aryl isocyanides

The reactions of alkyl isocyanides (RNC) and aryl isocyanides (ArNC) with the rhenium halides K₂ReX₆ (X = Br or I) and Re₃X₉ (X = Cl, Br or I) have been investigated. When the K₂Rex₆ salts are treated with neat isocyanide at room temperature, or with isocyanide ligands in polar solvents under reflux conditions, then the homoleptic isocyanide cations [Re(CNR)₆]⁺ or [Re(CNAr)₆]⁺, are isolated. Under less forcing conditions, various rhenium(III) and rhenium(I) species, e.g. [Re(CNCMe₃)₅I₂]⁺ and Re(CNAr)₅I, which may be considered as intermediates on the way to the formation of the homoleptic species, can be obtained. The rhenium(I) complexes Re(CNAr)₅I₃, which are believed to contain the coordinated triiodide ligand, have also been isolated and characterized. One route to these complexes is through the reaction of Re(CNAr)₅I with I₂. Reactions of the trinuclear halides Re₃X₉ (X = Cl, Br or I) with alkyl isocyanides at room temperature are found, in all instances, to provide adducts of the type Re₃X₉(CNR)₃. Under reflux conditions, Re₃Cl₉ and Re₃Cl₉(PEtPh₂)₃ react with Me₃CNC to fom products of cluster disruption, viz. [Re(CNCMe₃)₆]⁺ and [Re(CNCMe₃)₄(PEtPh₂)₂]⁺, respectively. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of complexes derived in this study are reported. These results are compared with those reported previously by Freni et al.
