Crystal Structure and Thermal Behaviour of K2[CrF5·H2O]

K₂[CrF₅·H₂O] is monoclinic: a = 9.6835(3) Å, b = 7.7359(2) Å, c = 7.9564(3) Å, β = 95.94(1)°, Z = 4, space group C2/c (n^o 15). Its crystal structure was solved from its X‐ray powder pattern recorded on a powder diffractometer, using for the refinement the Rietveld method. It is built up from isolated octahedral [CrF₅·OH₂]^2? anions separated by potassium cations. The dehydration of K₂[CrF₅·H₂O] leads to anhydrous orthorhombic K₂CrF₅: a = 7.334(2) Å, b = 12.804(4) Å, c = 20.151(5) Å, Z = 16, space group Pbcn (n^o 60), isostructural with K₂FeF₅.     

Anion‐Controlled Switching of an X Ligand into a Z Ligand: Coordination Non‐innocence of a Stiboranyl Ligand

The tetravalent platinum stiboranyl complex [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂(o‐C₆Cl₄O₂)Sb]PtCl₂Ph ( 2 ) has been synthesized by reaction of [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂SbClPh]PtCl ( 1 ) with o‐chloranil. In the presence of fluoride anions, the stiboranyl moiety of 2 displays non‐innocent behavior and is readily converted into a fluorostiborane unit. This transformation, which is accompanied by elimination of a chloride ligand from the Pt center, results in the formation of [(o‐(Ph₂P)C₆H₄)₂(o‐C₆Cl₄O₂)SbF]PtClPh ( 3 ). Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies show that the conversion of 2 into 3 is accompanied by a cleavage of the covalent Pt? Sb bond present in 2 and formation of a longer and weaker Pt→Sb interaction in 3 . These results show that this new Pt–Sb platform supports the fluoride‐induced metamorphosis of a stiboranyl X ligand into a stiborane Z ligand.     

Die Kristallstruktur von SrCaCrF7

The Crystal Structure of SrCaCrF₇ By solid state reaction of the component fluorides at elevated temperature single crystals of SrCaCrF₇ were obtained (a = 792.3(2), b = 724.7(2), c = 986.1(2) pm; space group Pnma, Z = 4). The X‐ray structure determination confirmed isotypism with the Ca₂AlF₇ type of structure: Isolated octahedra [CrF₆]^3— (mean Cr‐F: 189.7 pm) are opposed by infinitely netted planar cations [SrFCa_2/2]³⁺ which contain “independent” F atoms 3‐coordinated by alkaline earth atoms only. The Sr atoms prefer (at a level of 80%) the 8‐fold, the Ca atoms the 7‐fold coordinated positions between the octahedra.     

The Crystal Structures of Peroxonium Hexafluoroantimonate H3O2SbF6 and Bis(dihydrogenperoxo)hydrogen Hexafluoroantimonate H5O4SbF6

Protonated hydrogen peroxide is produced from the reaction of antimony pentafluoride with bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide in the presence of hydrogen fluoride. Depending on the stoichiometry of the reaction mixture, the compounds H₃O₂SbF₆ and H₅O₄SbF₆ are formed, which are stable up to room temperature and have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The structure of the H₃O₂⁺ ion is shown on the right.

Syntheses and Structures of Two Selenite Chloride Hydrates: Co(HSeO3)Cl · 3 H2O and Cu(HSeO3)Cl · 2 H2O

The first selenite chloride hydrates, Co(HSeO₃)Cl · 3 H₂O and Cu(HSeO₃)Cl · 2 H₂O, have been prepared from solution and characterised by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The cobalt phase adopts an unusual “one‐dimensional” structure built up from vertex‐sharing pyramidal [HSeO₃]^2–, and octahedral [CoO₂(H₂O)₄]^2– and [CoO₂(H₂O)₂Cl₂]^4– units. Inter‐chain bonding is by way of hydrogen bonds or van der Waals' interactions. The atomic arrangement of the copper phase involves [HSeO₃]^2– pyramids and Jahn‐Teller distorted [CuCl₂(H₂O)₄] and [CuO₄Cl₂]^8– octahedra, sharing vertices by way of Cu–O–Se and Cu–Cl–Cu bonds. Crystal data: Co(HSeO₃)Cl · 3 H₂O, M_r = 276.40, triclinic, space group P 1 (No. 2), a = 7.1657(5) Å, b = 7.3714(5) Å, c = 7.7064(5) Å, α = 64.934(1)°, β = 68.894(1)°, γ = 71.795(1)°, V = 337.78(7) ų, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.036, wR(F) = 0.049. Cu(HSeO₃)Cl · 2 H₂O, M_r = 263.00, orthorhombic, space group Pnma (No. 62), a = 9.1488(3) Å, b = 17.8351(7) Å, c = 7.2293(3) Å, V = 1179.6(2) ų, Z = 8, R(F) = 0.021, wR(F) = 0.024.     

Perfluoroalcohols: The Preparation and Crystal Structures of Heptafluorocyclobutanol and Hexafluorocyclobutane‐1,1‐diol

The first X‐ray crystal structure of an α‐fluoroalcohol is reported. Heptafluorocyclobutanol was obtained in quantitative yield from hexafluorocyclobutanone by HF addition in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The compound was characterized by its X‐ray single crystal structure. Heptafluorocyclobutanol readily undergoes hydrolysis to hexafluorocyclobutane‐1,1‐diol, which was also structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction.     

Ba7Fe6F32 · 2H2O: Original isolated trimers [Fe3F16]7− in a new defective jarlite-type compound

Ba₇Fe₆F₃₂ · 2H₂O was prepared from HF aqueous solution in a teflon bomb (Berghof) at 180°C. A partial exchange F^?/OH^? can be realized in more diluted HF medium and leads to Ba₇Fe₆F_32–x(OH)_x · 2H₂O. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m (Z = 2) with a = 17.023(1) Å, b = 11.482(1) Å, c = 7.624(1) Å, β = 101.13(1)° for x = 0 and a = 17.036(2) Å, b = 11.489(1) Å, c = 7.620(2) Å, β = 101.48(1)° for x ≈? 5.3. The structures were determined from 2 256 and 1 343 independent reflections for x = 0 and x ≈? 5.3 respectively, collected with a Siemens AED2 four-circle diffractometer with the MoKα radiation (R = 0.0235 and R_w = 0.0240 for x = 0 and R = 0.0324 and R_w = 0.0335 for x ≈? 5.3). The structure, closely related to that of the Jarlite-type, is built up from isolated octahedra trimers [Fe₃F₁₆]^7?, connected together by Ba²⁺-cations. The location of anions and water molecules is discussed from bond valence calculations. Magnetic and Mössbauer studies are reported and discussed.

Synthesis,Spectroscopy and Crystal Structures of Chiral Organic Ammonium Tetrathiometalates Showing N‐H···S and C‐H···S Interactions

The reaction of ammonium tetrathiometalate (NH₄)₂[MS₄] (M = W or Mo) with the R(+) or S(?) forms of the organic amine α‐methylbenzylamine [PhCH(CH₃)NH₂] results in the formation of the corresponding non‐centrosymmetric bis(α‐methylbenzylammonium) tetrathiometalate complexes [PhCH(CH₃)NH₃]₂[MS₄] (R‐ammonium M = W 1 ; R‐ammonium M = Mo 2 ; S‐ammonium M = W 3 , S‐ammonium M = Mo 4 ) which were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Raman, UV‐Vis and CD spectra, X‐ray powder diffractometry and single crystal X‐ray crystallography. Compounds 1 ‐ 4 crystallize in the chiral space group P2₁ and constitute the first examples of structurally characterized chiral organic ammonium group VI tetrathiometalates. The structures of 1 ‐ 4 consist of two crystallographically independent chiral organic ammonium cations and a tetrahedral tetrathiometalate dianion. The N‐H···S and C‐H···S interactions between the anions and cations organise them such that the organic ammonium ions always point towards the S atoms of [MS₄]^2?.     

Studies on julimycins—VI The structures of julichromes Q1·2, Q2·2, Q3·5, Q3·5, Q4·5, Q2·5 and Q5·5

Julichromes Q_1·2 and Q_2·2 are identified as the dehydration products of julimycin B-II. The structures of julichromes, which commonly have a new anthraquinonyl Q₅ unit, are confirmed by their preparation from known julichromes. The conversion reaction, Q₂ → Q₅, which involves an intra-molecular redox is probably concerned in the biosynthesis of this unit.     

The O–H···O, O–H···N and C–H···O hydrogen bonds in 1,4-dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine monohydrate

1,4-Dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine (1-carboxymethyl-1,4-dimethylpiperazinium inner salt, MBPZ) crystallizes as monohydrate. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pccn. Two MBPZ molecules and two water molecules form a cyclic oligomer, (MBPZ·H₂O)₂. The O–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds are of 2.769(1) and 2.902(1) Å, respectively. The dimers interact with the neighboring molecules through the C–H···O hydrogen bonds of 3.234(1) Å. The piperazine ring assumes a chair conformation with the N(4)–CH₃ and N⁺(1)–CH₂COO⁻ groups in the equatorial position and the N⁺(1)–CH₃ group in the axial one. The FTIR spectrum is compared with that calculated by the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory.
