By thermolysis or photolysis, 2 c loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and yields the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ). 3 exhibits a Fe–Fe double bond which could be confirmed by the addition of methylene to the corresponding dimetallacyclopropane [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). The reaction of 1 with dppe (Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂) affords [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppe)] ( 5 ).

The reaction of 1 with PPh₃ yields [Fe₂(CO)₆(H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(PPh₃)] ( 6 a ), while with ^tBu₂PH the compound [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 6 b ) is formed. The thermolysis of 6 b affords [Fe₂(CO)₅(μ‐P^tBu₂)₂] and the degradation products [Fe(CO)₃(^tBu₂PH)₂] and [Fe(CO)₄(^tBu₂PH)]. The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 6 b were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.     

Two new soluble iron–oxo complexes: [Fe2(μ‐O)(μ‐O2CCF3)2(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2] and [Fe4(μ3‐O)2(μ‐O2CCF3)6(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2]·CF3CO2H

Two new iron–oxo clusters, viz. di‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐μ‐oxo‐bis­[(2,2′‐bi­pyridine‐κ²N,N′)(tri­fluoro­acetato‐κO)­iron(III)], [Fe₂O(CF₃CO₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], and bis(2,2′‐bi­pyridine)­di‐μ₃‐oxo‐hexa‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐bis­(tri­fluoro­acetato)­tetrairon(III) tri­fluoro­acetic acid solvate, [Fe₄O₂(CF₃CO₂)₈(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·CF₃CO₂H, contain dinuclear and tetranuclear Fe^III cores, respectively. The Fe^III atoms are in distorted octahedral environments in both compounds and are linked by oxide and tri­fluoro­acetate ions. The tri­fluoro­acetate ions are either bridging (bidentate) or coordinated to the Fe^III atoms via one O atom only. The fluorinated peripheries enhance the solubility of these compounds. Formal charges for all the Fe centers were assigned by summing valences of the chemical bonds to the Fe^III atom.     

Poly[(μ2‐aqua‐κ2O:O)(μ3‐azido‐κ3N1:N1:N3)(μ2‐isonicotinato‐κ2O:O′)lead(II)]

In the title compound, [Pb(C₆H₄NO₂)(N₃)(H₂O)]_n, the Pb ion is seven‐coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three Pb^II ions in a μ_1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two‐dimensional three‐connected 6³ topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxylate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge Pb^II ions. Adjacent two‐dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water molecule, resulting in an extended three‐dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p‐block metal, an azide and a carboxylate.

Under thermal or photolytic conditions 3 loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and affords the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). 4 is also obtainable by an one‐pot synthesis from [Ru₃(CO)₁₂], an excess of ^tBu₂PH and stoichiometric amounts of dppm via the formation of [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)₂] ( 1 ). 4 exhibits a Ru–Ru double bond which could be confirmed by addition of methylene to the dimetallacyclopropane [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ).

Furthermore, 1 reacts with [NO][BF₄] to the complex salt [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)][BF₄] ( 4 ), and reaction of 1 with CCl₄ or CHCl₃ affords spontaneously [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐Cl)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) in nearly quantitative yield. The molecular structures of 2 , 3 and 5 were confirmed by crystal structure analyses.     

Poly[aqua­(μ3‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxyl­ato)(μ2‐hydroxo)indium(III)]

In the title compound, [In(C₈H₄O₄)(OH)(H₂O)]_n, the coordination of the In^III ion is composed of six O atoms from three dianionic benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate ligands, two hydroxyl groups and one coordinated water mol­ecule in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The In³⁺ ions are linked by the hydroxyl groups to form zigzag In–OH–In chains, which are further bridged by the benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid ligands to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure featuring three types of rings (six‐, 14‐ and 20‐membered). Hydrogen bonds between the water mol­ecule and a carboxyl­ate O atom, and between the hydroxyl group and a carboxyl­ate O atom, are observed within the layers. In the crystal packing, there are π–­π stacking inter­actions between the benzene rings of adjacent layers, with a centroid‐to‐centroid distance of 3.668 (3) Å and a dihedral angle of 4.8 (2)°.     

Assembly of a New Cyano‐bridged 4f‐3d Dimer Sm(DMSO)4‐ (H2O)3Cr(CN)6 and Crystal Structure of [K3(18‐crown‐6)3‐(H2O)4]Cr(CN)6·3H2O

A new cyano‐bridged binuclear 4f‐3d complex Sm(DMSO)₄‐(H₂O)₃Cr(CN)₆ was synthesized and characterized by single crystal structure analysis.

In this binuclear complex, Sm atom is eight coordinated and linked to the Cr atom by a cyano bridge. The molecules packs to form 3D structure due to the hydrogen bonds among them.

{[Mn2(μ3‐Tda)2(μ‐H2O)(H2O)2(bipy)]·DMF}n – a 2D Manganese(II) Coordination Polymer involving Six‐membered Binuclear Metallacycle Nodes

The single crystal X‐ray analysis of a novel thiophene‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acid (H₂Tda) Manganese(II) coordination polymer, {Mn₂(μ₃‐Tda)₂(μ‐H₂O)(H₂O)₂(bipy)]·DMF}_n, shows two different types of Mn²⁺‐ions with environment of Mn1O₆ and Mn2O₄N₂, and the complex is a two‐dimensional polymer as a result of bridging (Tda)^2? ligands and by connecting the carboxylate‐ and water‐bridged {Mn₂(μ‐Tda)₂(μ‐H₂O)} nodes.     

[Fe2(μsb‐CO)(CO)3(NO)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)]: Synthese,Kristallstruktur und Koordinationsisomerie

[Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)]: Synthesis, X‐ray Crystal Structure and Isomerization Na[Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts with [NO][BF₄] at —60 °C in THF to the nitrosyl complex [Fe₂(CO)₆(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 2 ). The subsequent reaction of 2 with phosphanes (L) under mild conditions affords the complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(NO)L(μ‐P^tBu₂)], L = PPh₃, ( 3a ); η‐dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), ( 3b ). In this case the phosphane substitutes one carbonyl ligand at the iron tetracarbonyl fragment in 2 , which was confirmed by the X‐ray crystal structure analysis of 3a . In solution 3b loses one CO ligand very easily to give dppm as bridging ligand on the Fe‐Fe bond. The thus formed compound [Fe₂(CO)₄(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ) occurs in solution in different solvents and over a wide temperature range as a mixture of the two isomers [Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4a ) and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4b ). 4a was unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis while 4b was confirmed both by NMR investigations in solution as well as by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, the spontaneous reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) with NO at —60 °C in toluene yields a complicated mixture of products containing [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 6 ) as main product beside the isomers 4a and 4b occuring in very low yields.     

New rac‐XP(O)(OC6H5)(NHC6H4‐p‐CH3) [X = N(CH3)(cyclo‐C6H11) and NH(C3H5)] and rac‐(C6H5CH2NH)P(O)(OC6H5)(NH‐cyclo‐C6H11) mixed‐amide phosphinates

The mixed‐amide phosphinates, rac‐phenyl (N‐methylcyclohexylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₂₀H₂₇N₂O₂P, (I), and rac‐phenyl (allylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₂O₂P, (II), were synthesized from the racemic phosphorus–chlorine compound (R,S)‐(Cl)P(O)(OC₆H₅)(NHC₆H₄‐p‐CH₃). Furthermore, the phosphorus–chlorine compound ClP(O)(OC₆H₅)(NH‐cyclo‐C₆H₁₁) was synthesized for the first time and used for the synthesis of rac‐phenyl (benzylamido)(cyclohexylamido)phosphinate, C₁₉H₂₅N₂O₂P, (III). The strategies for the synthesis of racemic mixed‐amide phosphinates are discussed. The P atom in each compound is in a distorted tetrahedral (N¹)P(=O)(O)(N²) environment. In (I) and (II), the p‐tolylamido substituent makes a longer P—N bond than those involving the N‐methylcyclohexylamido and allylamido substituents. In (III), the differences between the P—N bond lengths involving the cyclohexylamido and benzylamido substituents are not significant. In all three structures, the phosphoryl O atom takes part with the N—H unit in hydrogen‐bonding interactions, viz. an N—H...O=P hydrogen bond for (I) and (N—H)(N—H)...O=P hydrogen bonds for (II) and (III), building linear arrangements along [001] for (I) and along [010] for (III), and a ladder arrangement along [100] for (II).     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Properties of [Cu(phen)3][Cu(pheida)2]·10H2O and [(phen)2Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(phen)2][Cu(BAAP)2]·8.5H2O (H2pheida = N‐phenetyl‐iminodiacetic acid,H2BAAP = N‐benzylaminoacetic‐2‐propionic acid)

The salts [Cu(phen)₃][Cu(pheida)₂]·10H₂O ( 1 ) and [(phen)₂Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(μ‐BAAP)Cu(phen)₂][Cu(BAAP)₂]·8.5H₂O ( 2 ) (H₂pheida = N‐phenetyl‐iminodiacetic acid, H₂BAAP = N‐benzylaminoacetic‐2‐propionic acid, phen = 1, 10‐phenanthroline) have been prepared and studied by thermal, spectroscopic and X‐ray diffraction methods. 1 has the rather unusual [Cu(phen)₃]²⁺ cation and two non‐equivalent [Cu(pheida)₂]^2— anions with a coordination type 4+2 but quite different tetragonality (T = 0.848 and 0.703 for anions 1 and 2, respectively). The crystal consists of multi‐π, π‐stacked chains (…anion 2 — cation — cation — anion 2…) connected by hydrophobic interactions; these chains build channels which are partially filled by anions 1 and water molecules. In contrast, compound 2 has a mixed‐ligand trinuclear cation with a bridging central moiety close similar to the counter anion. The formation of such a trinuclear cation is discussed as a consequence of the most advantageous molecular recognition process between [Cu(phen)₂(H₂O)_{1 or 2}]²⁺ and [Cu(BAAP)₂]^2— in solution. In the crystal of 2, multi‐π, π‐stacked arrays of C₆‐rings from phen and (BAAP)^2— ligands of trinuclear cations generate channels where counter anions and water molecules are located.     

A Novel 1D Coordination Polymer [Pb(phen)(μ‐N3)(μ‐NO3)]n with the First Pb2‐(μ‐N3)2 Unit (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline)

A novel 1D polymeric lead(II) complex containing the first Pb₂‐(μ‐N₃)₂ motif, [Pb(phen)(μ‐N₃)(μ‐NO₃)]_n (phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline), has been synthesized and characterized. The single‐crystal X‐ray data showed the coordination number of Pb²⁺ ions to be eight (PbN₄O₄) with the Pb²⁺ ions having “stereo‐chemically active” electron lone pairs; the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The chains interact with each other via π‐π interactions to create a 3D framework.     

Darstellung von μ-Hydrido-μ-diphenylphosphido-bis(tetracarbonylrhenium) · 1/2 Xylol und Molekülstruktur des Derivates Re2(CO)6(PPh3)2(μ-H)(μ-PPh2) (Ph = C6H5)

Preparation of μ-Hydrido-μ-diphenylphosphido-bis(tetracarbonylrhenium) · 1/2 Xylene and Molecular Structure of the Derivative Re₂(CO)₆(PPh₃)₂(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂) (Ph = C₆H₅) The reaction of dirhenium decacarbonyl with diphenylphosphine in xylene solution gave at 190–200°C in a glas tube crystals of Re₂(CO)₈(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂) · 1/2 C₈H₁₀. The obtained adduct was reacted in the same solvent with an excess of triphenylphosphine to the derivative Re₂(CO)₆(PPh₃)₂(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂). Both diamagnetic dirhenium compounds with μ-H atom and μ-PPh₂ group were characterized by ¹H and ³¹P spectroscopic measurements. The molecular structure of the derivative was acertained by a single crystal X-ray analysis. Its result showed a three-membered Re₂(μ-P) ring as central molecular fragment. At these Re central atoms were attached two PPh₃ ligands in an unprefered cis-arrangement due to sterical reasons. A thermodynamic transinfluence of the (μ-P)? Re bond favoured the found positions of the PPh₃ ligands.     

Poly­[trans‐di­aqua­manganese(II)‐μ‐(3‐pyridine­carboxyl­ato‐N:O)‐μ‐(3‐pyri­dinecarboxyl­ato‐O:N)]

The title complex, [Mn^II(nic)₂(H₂O)₂]_n [nic is 3‐pyridine­carboxyl­ate (also called nicotinate), C₆H₄NO₂^?], has a two‐dimensional layer structure with the unique Mn atom on an inversion centre. In each layer, all nicotinate ligands are coordinated to Mn atoms in a bridging/bidentate mode, thus linking the {Mn^II(nic)₂(H₂O)₂} monomeric units together to form a dative‐bond‐based layered polymer. The intra‐layer hydrogen bonds involving all water mol­ecules and the carboxyl­ate groups may play an auxiliary part in stabilizing the layer. The layers are arranged in an ordered manner along the a axis through van der Waals forces so as to complete the solid‐state structure of the crystal.     

[(C6H10)(NH3)2][Ni(H2O)4C6H2(COO)4]·4H2O – A Coordination Polymer with the Chain‐like Polyanion {Ni(H2O)4[C6H2(COO)4]2−}n

Triclinic single crystals of [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂][Ni(H₂O)₄C₆H₂(COO)₄]·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C.

The Nickel(II) species, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is coordinated in a trans‐octahedral fashion by two oxygen atoms stemming from the centrosymmetric pyromellitate anions and four from water molecules (Ni–O 205.82(12) – 208.11(13) pm). The connection between Ni²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄)]^4? leads to infinite chain‐like polyanions extending parallel to with {Ni(H₂O)₄[C₆H₂(COO)₄]^2?}_n composition. [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂]²⁺‐cations are accomodated between the chains, compensating for the negative charge of the polyanions. Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 102 and 206 °C, corresponding to the loss of 6 and 2 water molecules per formula unit, respectively. The dehydrated sample was stable between 206 and 353 °C. Further decomposition yielded nickel(II) oxide (NiO).     

[Ni(terpy)(H2O)]‐trans‐[Ni‐(μ‐CN)2‐(CN)2]n,a one‐dimensional linear tetra­cyano­nickelate chain

The one‐dimensional chain catena‐poly­[[aqua(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridyl‐κ³N)­nickel(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐κ²N:C‐[bis­(cyano‐κC)nickelate(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐κ²C:N], [Ni(terpy)(H₂O)]‐trans‐[Ni‐μ‐(CN)₂‐(CN)₂]_n or [Ni₂­(CN)₄­(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)], consists of infinite linear chains along the crystallographic [10] direction. The chains are composed of two distinct types of nickel ions, paramagnetic octahedral [Ni(terpy)(H₂O)]²⁺ cations (with twofold crystallographic symmetry) and diamagnetic planar [Ni(CN)₄]^2? anions (with the Ni atom on an inversion center). The [Ni(CN)₄]^2? units act as bidentate ligands bridging through two trans cyano groups thus giving rise to a new example of a trans–trans chain among planar tetra­cyano­nickelate complexes. The coordination geometry of the planar nickel unit is typical of slightly distorted octahedral nickel(II) complexes, but for the [Ni(CN)₄]^2? units, the geometry deviates from a planar configuration due to steric interactions with the ter­pyridine ligands.
