Acetylenic derivatives of metal carbonyls of the triad Fe,Ru, Os—XI Mass spectra of some binuclear complexes

The mass spectra of the following acetylenic derivatives of iron, ruthenium and osmium carbonyls are reported: the iron compounds Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)s₂]₂, Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂ and Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₂H₅)₂]₂, the ruthenium compounds Ru₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)₂]₂, and Ru₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂ and the osmium compounds Os₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)₂]₂, Os₂(CO)₆[C₂HC₆H₅]₂ and Os₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂. Iron compounds exhibit breakdown schemes where binuclear, mononuclear and hydrocarbon ions are present. On the other hand, ruthenium and osmium compounds fragment in a similar way and give rise to singly and doubly charged binuclear ions. Phenylic derivatives of ruthenium and osmium also give weak triply charged ions. The results are discussed in terms of relative strengths of the metal-metal and metal-carbon bonds.

On Dialkali Metal Dichalcogenides β-Na₂S₂, K₂S₂, α-Rb₂S₂, β-Rb₂S₂, K₂Se₂, Rb₂Se₂, α-K₂Te₂, β-K₂Te₂ and Rb₂Te₂ The first presentation of pure samples of α- and β-Rb₂S₂, α- and β-K₂Te₂, and Rb₂Te₂ is described. Using single crystals of K₂S₂ and K₂Se₂, received by ammonothermal synthesis, the structure of the Na₂O₂ type and by using single crystals of β-Na₂S₂ and β-K₂Te₂ the Li₂O₂ type structure will be refined. By combined investigations with temperature-dependent Guinier-, neutron diffraction-, thermal analysis, and Raman-spectroscopy the nature of the monotropic phase transition from the Na₂O₂ type to the Li₂O₂ type will be explained by means of the examples α-/β-Na₂S₂ and α-/β-K₂Te₂. A further case of dimorphic condition as well as the monotropic phase transition of α- and β-Rb₂S₂ is presented. The existing areas of the structure fields of the dialkali metal dichalcogenides are limited by the model of the polar covalence.

The synthesis of gem-N₃P₃Cl₄(OSiPh₃)₂ involves the reaction of (NPCl₂)₃ with Ph₃SiONa to form the intermediates gem-N₃P₃Cl₄(OSiPh₃)₂(ONa) and gem-N₃P₃Cl₄(ONa)₂, which yield gem-N₃P₃Cl₄(OSiPh₃)₂ when treated with Ph₃SiCl. The compounds N₃P₃Cl₅OSiPh₃ and N₃P₃(OSiPh₃)₀ are formed by the condensation reactions of N₃P₃Cl₅OBuⁿ and N₃P₃(OBuⁿ)₆, respectively, with Ph₃SiCl. The compound N₃P₃(OPh)₅OSiPh₃ is synthesized by the reaction between N₃P₃(OPh)₅Cl and Et₃SiONa to first give the intermediate N₃P₃(OPh)₅ONa, which yields N₃P₃(OPh)₅OSiPh₃ when reacted with Ph₃SiCl. The structural characterization and properties of these compounds are discussed. The crystal and molecular structure of gem-N₃P₃Cl₄(OSiPh₃)₂ has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.

Pseudohalogenometallverbindungen: LVIII. Reaktionen von diphenylphosphorylazid und perfluor-n-hexylsulfonylazid mit triphenylphosphan-komplexen von platin(0), rhodium(I), iridium(I), ruthenium(0), kobalt(II) und kupfer(I)

Diphenylphosphorylazide N₃P(O)(OPh)₂ reacts with Pt(PPh₃)₃, Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄), trans-RhCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, Ru(CO)₃(PPh₃)₂, CoCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and CuCl(PPh₃)₂ to give the azido complexes Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)R, Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)₂R₂, the urylene complex RhCl(PPh₃)₂(RNCONR) and the phosphine imine complexes Ru(CO)₃(RPPh₃)₂, CoCl₂(RNPPh₃)₂, CuCl(RNPPh₃)₂, respectively, (RP(O)(OPh)₂).

Phase ratios in the K2O-V2O4-SO3 system at high sulfur trioxide concentrations

Phase ratios in the three-component oxide system K₂O-V₂O₄-SO₃ in the region of the sulfur trioxide concentrations corresponding to its concentrations in the active component of vanadium catalysts for SO₂ to SO₃ conversion have been studied using powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, microscopy, and chemical analysis. Four individual compounds (K₂VO(SO₄)₂, K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₃, K₂VO(SO₄)₂S₂O₇, and K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₂S₂O₇) and K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₂S₂O₇ and VOSO₄-base solid solutions of composition K₂(VO)_2+x (SO₄)_2+x S₂O₇ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5) were found in the system. K₂VO(SO₄)S₂O₇ and K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₂S₂O₇ lose their sulfur trioxide when heated above 350°C under an inert atmosphere, and convert to K₂VO(SO₄)₂ and K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₃, respectively. This implies that K₂VO(SO₄)₂S₂O₇ and K₂(VO)₂(SO₄)₂S₂O₇, as well as K₂(VO)_2+x (SO₄)_2+x S₂O₇ solid solution, cannot exist in the active component of real industrial catalysts.     

Reactivity in the solid state between CoWO4 and RE2WO6 where RE = Sm, Eu, Gd

Reactivity in the solid state between CoWO₄ and some rare-earth metal tungstates RE₂WO₆ (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd) was investigated by the XRD method. Two families of new isostructural cobalt and rare-earth metal tungstates, Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆, were synthesized. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ phases are formed by heating in air the CoWO₄ and RE₂WO₆ compounds mixed at the molar ratio 2:1, while the CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ phases are synthesized at the molar ratio of CoWO₄/RE₂WO₆ equals to 1:2. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ phases as well as the CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic system. The Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compound melt above 1150 °C. A melting manner of the Co₂RE₂W₃O₁₄ and CoRE₄W₃O₁₆ compounds was determined in an inert atmosphere. The formation of CoWO_4−x phase was observed during heating in an inert atmosphere.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and structural characterisation of vanadium(IV) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes with arsenic donor ligands

The reaction of o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂ with VCl₄ in anhydrous CCl₄ produces orange eight-coordinate [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂], whilst in CH₂Cl₂ the product is the brown, six-coordinate [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}]. In dilute CH₂Cl₂ solution slow decomposition occurs to form the V^III complex [V₂Cl₆{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂]. Six-coordination is also found in [VCl₄{MeC(CH₂AsMe₂)₃}] and [VCl₄{Et₃As)₂]. Hydrolysis of these complexes occurs readily to form vanadyl (VO²⁺) species, pure samples of which are obtained by reaction of [VOCl₂(thf)₂(H₂O)] with the arsines to form green [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}], [VOCl₂{MeC(CH₂AsMe₂)₃}(H₂O)] and [VOCl₂(Et₃As)₂]. Green [VOCl₂(o-C₆H₄(PMe₂)₂}] is formed from [VOCl₂(thf)₂(H₂O)] and the ligand. The [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(PMe₂)₂}] decomposes in thf solution open to air to form the diphosphine dioxide complex [VO{o-C₆H₄(P(O)Me₂)₂}₂(H₂O)]Cl₂, but in contrast, the products formed from similar treatment of [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}_x] or [VOCl₂{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}] contain the novel arsenic(V) cation [o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂Cl)(μ-O)(AsMe₂)]⁺. X-ray crystal structures are reported for [V₂Cl₆{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂], [VO(H₂O){o-C₆H₄(P(O)Me₂)₂}₂]Cl₂, [o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂Cl)(μ-O)(AsMe₂)]Cl·[VO(H₂O)₃Cl₂] and powder neutron diffraction data for [VCl₄{o-C₆H₄(AsMe₂)₂}₂].

Further examples of eliminations of hydrogen, CO, and C₂H₂ fragments were noted. In addition evidence for the following more unusual processes was obtained: (i) Elimination of HCN fragments from the ions [NC₅H₄CH₂MC₅H₅]⁺ to give the ions [(C₅H₅)₂M]⁺ (M ? Fe, Mo and W); (ii) Conversion of C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃CH₂NCO to C₅H₅Mo(CO)₂CH₂NCO within the mass spectrometer; (iii) Elimination of N₂ from [RN₂MoC₅H₅]⁺ to give [RMoC₅H₅]⁺; (iv) Novel eliminations of HNCO, FeNCO, and C₆H₅NC fragments in the mass spectrum of (C₆H₅N)₂COFe₂(CO)₆; (v) Facile dehydrogenation of the N,N,N′,-N′-tetramethylethylenediamine ligand in the complex (CH₃)₂NCH₂CH₂N(CH₃)₂W(CO)₄.     

Equilibrium phase behavior of aqueous two-phase systems containing 17R4/L64 and citrates

The cloud points (CPs) of the copolymers 17R4 and L64 were first measured, and then the effects of salts ((NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇, K₃C₆H₅O₇) on 17R4 and L64 were researched. After finishing the work described above, the temperature (278.15, 283.15, and 288.15) K of aqueous two-phase systems was determined, which consist of 17R4-(NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇, 17R4-K₃C₆H₅O₇, L64-(NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇, and L64-K₃C₆H₅O₇. Finally, the liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of binodal curve and the tie line for 17R4-(NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇ aqueous two- phase systems (ATPSs) 17R4-K₃C₆H₅O₇ ATPSs, L64-(NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇ ATPSs, and L64-K₃C₆H₅O₇ ATPSs were obtained. Nonlinear fitting of the empirical equation was used for making the diagram. The results showed that the change in the size of the two-phase areas increases with the increase of temperature. The capacity of the salts to induce phase segregation follows the Hofmeister series, that is, K₃C₆H₅O₇?>?(NH₄)₃C₆H₅O₇. In addition, the findings also showed that the phase separation ability of 17R4 is better than that of L64.

The iodide η⁷-C₇H₇W(CO)₂I reacts with the diphosphine ((C₆H₅)₂PCH₂)₂ to give the trihapto complex η³-C₇H₇ W(CO)₂I((C₆H₅)₂PCH₂)₂. In the case of η⁷-C₇H₇Mo(CO)₂ Br reaction with hydrazine leads to the substitution product [η⁷-C₇H₇ Mo(CO)₂N₂H₄]^⊕, which can be stabilized by large anions. The binuclear complex [C₇H₇W(CO)₃]₂ has been synthesized electrochemically.

VII is also obtained in the reaction of I with NaN[Si(CH₃)₃]₂. The by-product (CH₃)₃SiO(CH₂)₄I (VIII) could be isolated in both syntheses of VII. All compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry and infrared, Raman and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Rapid intramolecular interactions between organic isocyanates and hexafluorobut-2-yne on a dirhodium centre; X-ray crystal structure of (η-C5H5)2Rh2 {μ2(η3-C(CF3)C(CF3)C(O)N(Ph)}

Complexes of formula (η-C₅H₅₂Rh₂{CF₃C₂CF₃ · RNCO} have been prepared by three methods, from reactions between organic isocyanates and (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) or (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂(CF₃C₂CF₃); by treatment of (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) with organic azides; and by oxidation with Me₃NO of the organic isocyanide in (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CNR)(CF₃C₂CF₃). The crystal and molecular structure of the complex (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂{CF₃C₂CF₃ · RNCO} with R = Ph has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. This reveals that the isocyanate has condensed with the hexafluorobut-2-yne to form an amide ligand of the form C(CF₃)C(CF₃)C(=O)N(R); this bridges the two rhodium atoms in a μ₂η³-manner.     

Alternativ-Liganden. III. Koordinatives verhalten von chelatliganden des typs me2XSi(Me2)CH2XMe2 (X  N und/oder P: Me  CH3)

Co-ordinative Properties of Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂XSi(Me₂)CH₂XMe₂ (X ? N and/or P; Me ? CH₃) The reactions of the ligands L ? Me₂XSi(Me₂)CH₂XMe₂ (X ? N and/or P; Me ? CH₃) with M(CO)₆ and M(CO)₄norbor (norbor ? norbornadiene) (M ? Cr, Mo), respectively, yield derivatives of the types M(CO)₅L, M(CO)₄L, and M(CO)₄L₂, respectively. M(CO)₅L compounds are formed from the hexacarbonyls with Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂PMe₂, whereas the ligand Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂NMe₂ does not afford analogous derivatives under the same conditions. Even on substitution of the diene-ligand in M(CO)₄norbor by Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂PMe₂ the chelate complexes M(CO)₄NMe₂SiMe₂CH₂PMe₂ are not obtained, but the cis-disubstituted products M(CO)₄[PMe₂CH₂SiMe₂NMe₂]₂ with phosphorus acting as donor atom are produced. The ligands Me₂PSiMe₂CH₂XMe₂(X ? N, P) give the chelate complexes M(CO)₄PMe₂SiMe₂CH₂XMe₂ in high yields. The new compounds were identified by analytical and spectroscopic (PMR, IR, mass spectra) methods.     

Products from the reaction of M3(CO)12 (M = Ru or Os) with water

Reaction of the carbonyl Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with water leads to the formation of polynuclear hydrides α-H₄Ru₄(CO)₁₂, α-H₂Ru₄(CO)₁₃; the corresponding reaction with Os₃(CO)₁₂ yields the complexes (H)(OH)Os₃(CO)₁₀, H₂Os₄(CO)₁₃, H₄Os₄(CO)₁₂, H₂Os₅(CO)₁₆, H₂Os₅(CO)₁₅, H₂Os₆(CO)₁₈ and H₂Os₇(CO)₁₉C.
