Polysulfonylamine. CLXIII [1] Kristallstrukturen von Metall‐di(methansulfonyl)amiden. 12 [1] Das orthorhombische Doppelsalz Na2Cs2[(CH3SO2)2N]4·3H2O: Ein dreidimensionales Koordinationspolymer aus (Caesium‐Anion‐Wasser)‐Schichten und intercalierten Natriumionen

Polysulfonylamines. CLXIII. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 12. The Orthorhombic Double Salt Na₂Cs₂[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O: A Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Built up from Cesium‐Anion‐Water Layers and Intercalated Sodium Ions The packing arrangement of the three‐dimensional coordination polymer Na₂Cs₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O (orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, Z′ = 1) is in some respects similar to that of the previously reported sodium‐potassium double salt Na₂K₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·4H₂O (tetragonal, P4₃2₁2, Z′ = 1/2). In the present structure, four multidentately coordinating independent anions, three independent aquo ligands and two types of cesium cation form monolayer substructures that are associated in pairs to form double layers via a Cs(1)—H₂O—Cs(2) motif, thus conferring upon each Cs⁺ an irregular O₈N₂ environment drawn from two N, O‐chelating anions, two O, O‐chelating anions and two water molecules. Half of the sodium ions occupy pseudo‐inversion centres situated between the double layers and have an octahedral O₆ coordination built up from four anions and two water molecules, whereas the remaining Na⁺ are intercalated within the double layers in a square‐pyramidal and pseudo‐C₂ symmetric O₅ environment provided by four anions and the water molecule of the Cs—H₂O—Cs motif. The net effect is that each of the four independent anions forms bonds to two Cs⁺ and two Na⁺, two independent water molecules are involved in Cs—H₂O—Na motifs, and the third water molecule acts as a μ₃‐bridging ligand for two Cs⁺ and one Na⁺. The crystal cohesion is reinforced by a three‐dimensional network of conventional O—H···O=S and weak C—H···O=S/N hydrogen bonds.

Polysulfonylamines. CLXIV. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 13. Dithallium Tris(dimesylamido‐N)argentate: A Two‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer The complex salt Tl₂[Ag{N(SO₂Me)₂}₃] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z′ = 1) was obtained by serendipity. Its layer structure displays two unprecedented characteristics, viz. one (MeSO₂)₂N^— ion that strongly deviates from the C₂‐symmetric standard conformation of this species and approximates to mirror symmetry, and a tris(dimesylamido)argentate anion featuring a trigonal‐planar AgN₃ core with Ag—N bond lengths of 225.6(6), 226.0(6), 236.3(6) pm and N—Ag—N angles in accordance with VSEPR concepts [149.8(2) vs. 102.8(2) and 107.3(2)°]. The independent thallium ions are coordinated by the complex anions to form monolayer substructures, in which Tl(1) attains an O₆ and Tl(2) an O₅ environment; the monolayers are associated into bilayers via one independent set of Tl(2)—O bonds that concomitantly raise the coordination number for Tl(2) to six. Both TlO₆ polyhedra may be viewed as extremely distorted octahedra reflecting the stereochemical activity of the 6s lone pair of electrons. The two‐dimensional Ag—N/Tl—O bonding system is reinforced by a three‐dimensional network of weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds.

Structures of Ionic Di(arenesulfonyl)amides. 8. Sodium Bis[di(4‐fluorobenzenesulfonyl)amido‐N]argentate: A Heterobimetallic Complex Exhibiting a Lamellar Layer Structure and Short C–H···F–C Interlayer Contacts Na[Ag{N(SO₂–C₆H₄–4‐F)₂}₂] (monoclinic, C2/c, Z′ = 1/2) is the first heterobimetallic representative in a well‐documented class of layered inorgano‐organic solids where the inorganic component is comprised of metal cations and coordinating N(SO₂)₂ groups and the outer regions are formed by the aromatic rings of the di(arenesulfonyl)amide entities, which adopt a folded conformation approximating to mirror symmetry. The inversion‐symmetric bis(amido)argentate unit of the novel compound displays an exactly linear N–Ag–N core and short Ag–N bonds of 217.55(17) pm (at ?140 °C); the coordination number of the silver ion is extended to 2 + 6 by four internal and two external Ag···O secondary interactions. The polar lamella is constructed from rows of Na⁺ ions located on twofold axes, alternating with bis(amido)argentate strands reinforced by Ag···O interactions and weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds; Na⁺ is embedded in an O₆ environment. Adjacent layers are cross‐linked via short C–H···F–C contacts suggestive of weak hydrogen bonding enhanced by cooperativity.

Polysulfonylamines. CLII. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl) amides. 6. Three Layer Structures: The Isotypic Binary Compounds M[(MeSO₂)₂N]₂ (M = Sr, Pb) and the Ethanol Solvate Pb[(MeSO₂)₂N]₂ · EtOH Low‐temperature X‐ray crystal structures are reported for the layer compounds SrA₂ (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z′ = 1), PbA₂ (isotypic and isostructural with SrA₂), and PbA₂·EtOH (triclinic, P1¯, Z′ = 1), where A^— denotes the anion obtained by deprotonation of the strong NH acid (MeSO₂)₂NH. The ternary compound appears to be the first crystallographically established ethanol solvate of a lead(II) complex. In the two‐dimensional coordination networks, the cations adopt either a distorted cubic or, in the solvate, an irregular (O₆N₂)‐octacoordination, the metal centres of the isotypic structures forming close contacts to two (O, N)‐chelating and four κ¹O‐bonding anions, whereas in the solvate one of the latter ligands is displaced by an EtOH molecule. In the isotypic structures, the Pb—O distances are systematically longer than the Sr—O distances and the Pb—N bonds shorter than the Sr—N bonds, which correlates with the softer character of Pb²⁺ as compared to Sr²⁺. The 6s lone pair on Pb²⁺ is stereochemically inactive in both lead compounds. Analogies and discrepancies between the layer architectures are discussed in detail, including an evaluation of short C—H···O contacts in terms of weak hydrogen bonding. Two complexes of composition PbA₂·2 L, where L is pyridine or 1, 10‐phenanthroline, have been synthesized and characterized by analytical methods.

Polysulfonylamines. CLX. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 10. The Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers M[(CH₃SO₂)₂N], where M is Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium (Isotypic Structures for M = K, Rb) Low‐temperature X‐ray crystal structures are reported for KA (monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z′ = 1), RbA (isotypic and isostructural with KA), and CsA (monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z′ = 1), where A^— denotes the anion obtained by deprotonation of the strong nitrogen acid (MeSO₂)₂NH. In KA and RbA, the anion is distorted into a rare C₁ conformation, whereas the standard C₂ conformation is retained in the cesium complex. The structures consist of three‐dimensional coordination networks, in which each cation adopts an irregular (O₆N)‐heptacoordination by forming close contacts to one (O, N)‐chelating, one (O, O)‐chelating and three κ¹O‐bonding ligands; however, the coordination number for Cs⁺ is effectively increased to 8 by a very short Cs···Cs contact distance of 422.5 pm. The crystal packings of the isotypic compounds KA and RbA display lamellar layer substructures that involve six independent ligand‐metal bonds and comprise an internal cation lamella and peripheral regions built up from anion monolayers; the 3D framework is completed by one independent M—O bond cross‐linking the layer substructures. In contrast, CsA features anion monolayers that intercalate planar zigzag chains of cations (Cs···Cs alternatingly 422.5 and 487.5 pm, Cs···Cs···Cs 135.7°), whereby each chain is surrounded and coordinated by four anion stacks and each anion stack connects two cation chains. All structures exhibit close C—H···A interanion contacts consistent with weak hydrogen bonding.

Polysulfonylamines. CLXVI. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 15. The Isotypic Crystal Structures of Ammonium and Cesium Dimesylamide: Crystallographic Congruency of Hydrogen Bonds N—H···O/N and Metal‐Ligand Interactions Cs—O/N The ammonium salt NH₄[N(SO₂CH₃)₂] and its previously reported cesium analogue Cs[N(SO₂CH₃)₂] are isostructural (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, V at —140 °C: 0.761 and 0.832 nm³ respectively). The cesium ion adopts an irregular (O₆N)‐heptacoordination by forming close contacts to one (O, N)‐chelating, one (O, O)‐chelating and three κ¹O‐bonding anions, whereas in the ammonium‐based structure each of the seven Cs—O/N interactions is perfectly mimicked by an N—H···O/N hydrogen‐bond component. To this effect, three N—H donors are engaged in asymmetric three‐centre bonds, the fourth in a moderately strong and approximately linear two‐centre bond. The crystal packings consist of anion monolayers that intercalate planar zigzag rows of cations propagating around symmetry centres (Cs···Cs alternatingly 422.5 and 487.5 pm, Cs···Cs···Cs 135.7°; N···N alternatingly 397.4 and 474.1 pm, N···N···N 136.1°). Each cation row is surrounded by and bonded to four translation‐generated anion stacks, and each anion stack connects two cation rows. The net effect is that the packings display congruent three‐dimensional networks of metal‐ligand bonds or hydrogen bonds, respectively. Moreover, close C—H···O/N interanion contacts consistent with weak hydrogen bonding are observed in both structures.

Synthesis and Structure of a One‐Dimensional Aluminum Phosphate, [NH3(CH2)2NH2(CH2)3NH3]3+ [Al(PO4)2]3—

A one‐dimensional aluminum phosphate, [NH₃(CH₂)₂NH₂(CH₂)₃NH₃]³⁺ [Al(PO₄)₂]^3—, has been synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of N‐(2‐Aminoethyl‐)1, 3‐diaminopropane (AEDAP) and its structure determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal data: space group = Pbca (no. 61), a = 16.850(2), b = 8.832(1), c = 17.688(4)Å, V = 2632.4(2)ų, Z = 8, R₁ = 0.0389 [5663 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I)]. The structure consists of anionic [Al(PO₄)₂]^3— chains built up from AlO₄ and PO₄ tetrahedra, in which all the AlO₄ vertices are shared and each PO₄ tetrahedron possesses two terminal P=O linkages. The cations, which balances the negative charge of the chains, are located in between the chains and interact with the oxygen atoms through strong N—H···O hydrogen bonds. Additional characterization of the compound by powder XRD and MAS‐NMR has also been performed and described.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cesium Hexamminesodium Decahydro‐closo‐decaborate‐Ammonia(1/1), Cs[Na(NH3)6][B10H10]·NH3

Cs[Na(NH₃)₆][B₁₀H₁₀]·NH₃ was synthesised from cesium and disodium‐decahydro‐closo‐decaborate Na₂B₁₀H₁₀ in liquid ammonia, from which it crystallized in form of temperature sensitive colorless plates (triclinic, P1¯, a = 8.4787(7) Å, b = 13.272(1) Å, c = 17.139(2) Å, α = 88.564(1)°, β = 89.773(1)°, γ = 81.630(1)°, V = 1907.5(3) ų, Z = 4). The compound is the first example of an alkali metal boranate with two different types of cations. The decahydro‐closo‐decaborate dianions [B₁₀H₁₀]^2— and the cesium cations form a equation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif[Cs₂(B₁₀H₁₀)₂]^2— layer parallel to the ac plane. These layers are separated by N—H···N‐hydrogen bonded hexamminesodium cations.     

LaCl(BO2)2 und Er2Cl2[B2O5]: Zwei Chlorid‐Oxoborate dreiwertiger Lanthanide

LaCl(BO₂)₂ and Er₂Cl₂[B₂O₅]: Two Chloride Oxoborates of Trivalent Lanthanides Er₂Cl₂[B₂O₅] is obtained as single crystals by the reaction of ErCl₃, Er₂O₃ and B₂O₃ with an excess of ErCl₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes after two weeks at 850 °C. The compound crystallizes as long, pale pink needles and appears to be air‐ and water‐resistant. Single‐crystalline LaCl(BO₂)₂ emerges from the reaction of La₂O₃, LaCl₃, and B₂O₃ with an excess of B₂O₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes after four weeks at 900 °C. LaCl(BO₂)₂ crystallizes as thin, colourless, air‐ and water‐resistant needles which tend to severe twinning due to their fibrous habit. The crystal structure of Er₂Cl₂[B₂O₅] (orthorhombic, Pbam; a = 1489.65(9), b = 1004.80(6), c = 524.86(3) pm; Z = 4) contains two crystallographically different erbium cations. (Er1)³⁺ resides in pentagonal‐bipyramidal coordination of seven anions while (Er2)³⁺ is surrounded by only six anions with the shape of an octahedron. The planar oxodiborate units [B₂O₅]^4— consisting of two vertex‐shared [BO₃]^3— triangles are isolated according to {([BOO]₂)^4—}. LaCl(BO₂)₂ crystallizes isostructurally with PrCl(BO₂)₂ in the triclinic space group P1¯ (a = 423.52(4), b = 662.16(7), c = 819.33(8) pm; α = 82.081(8), β = 89.238(9), γ = 72.109(7)°; Z = 2). The characteristic unit consists of endless chains built up by corner‐linked [BO₃]^3— triangles. These quasi‐planar zigzag chains of the composition {[(B1)OO(B2)OO]^2—} (≡ {[BO₂]^—} run parallel [100]. The La³⁺ cations exhibit coordination numbers of ten and are coordinated by three Cl^— and seven O^2— anions.     

(C2H10N2)[BPO4F2] — Structural Relations between [BPO4F2]2— and [Si2O6]4—

(C₂H₁₀N₂)[BPO₄F₂] — Strukturbeziehungen zwischen [BPO₄F₂]^2— und [Si₂O₆]^4— Colourless crystals of (C₂H₁₀N₂)[BPO₄F₂] were prepared from mixture of ethylendiamine, H₃BO₃, BF₃ · C₂H₅NH₂, H₃PO₄ and HCl under mild hydrothermal conditions (220 °C). The crystal structure was determined by single crystal methods (triclinic, P1¯ (no. 2), a = 451.85(5) pm, b = 710.20(8) pm, c = 1210.2(2) pm, α = 86.08(1)°, β = 88.52(2)°, γ = 71.74(1)°, Z = 2) and contains infinite tetrahedral zweier‐single‐chains {[BPO₄F₂]^2—} which are isoelectronic (48e^—) with the polyanions {[Si₂O₆]^4—} of the pyroxene family.     

Ho2O[SiO4] und Ho2S[SiO4]: Zwei Chalkogenid‐Derivate von Holmium(III)‐ortho‐ Oxosilicat

Ho₂O[SiO₄] and Ho₂S[SiO₄]: Two Chalcogenide Derivatives of Holmium(III) ortho‐Oxosilicate Ho₂O[SiO₄] crystallizes monoclinically with the space group P2₁/c (a = 904.15(9), b = 688.93(7), c = 667.62(7) pm, β = 106.384(8)°, Z = 4) in the A‐type structure of rare‐earth(III) oxide oxosilicates. Yellow platelet‐shaped single crystals were obtained as by‐product during an experiment to synthesize Ho₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ by reacting Ho₂O₃ and SiO₂ in the ratio 4 : 6 with an excess of HoCl₃ as flux at 1000 °C for seven days in evacuated silica ampoules. Both crystallographically different Ho³⁺ cations show coordination numbers of 8+1 and 7 with coordination figures of 2+1‐fold capped trigonal prisms and octahedra, in which one of the vertices changes to an edge by two instead of one coordinating atoms, respectively. The O^2— anion not linked to silicon is surrounded tetrahedrally by four Ho³⁺ cations which built a layer parallel (100) by vertex‐ and edge‐sharing of the [OHo₄]¹⁰⁺ units according to {[(O5)(Ho1)_1/1(Ho2)_3/3]⁴⁺}. Within rhombic meshes of these layers the isolated oxosilicate tetrahedra [SiO₄]^4— come to lie. Ho₂S[SiO₄] crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pbcm (a = 605.87(5), b = 690.41(6), c = 1064.95(9) pm, Z = 4). It also emerged as a single‐crystalline by‐product obtained during the synthesis of Ho₂OS₂ by reaction of a mixture of Ho₂O₃, Ho and S with the wall of the evacuated silica tube used as container with an excess of CsCl as flux at 800 °C. The structure of the yellow platelet‐shaped, air and water resistant crystals also distinguishes two Ho³⁺ cations with bicapped trigonal prisms and trigondodecahedra as coordination polyhedra for CN = 8. The S^2— anions are almost square planar surrounded by four Ho³⁺ cations, but situated completely outside this plane. The [SHo₄]¹⁰⁺ squares form strongly corrugated layers perpendicular to [100] by corner‐sharing according to {[(S)(Ho1)_2/2(Ho2)_2/2]⁴⁺}. Contrary to the oxide oxosilicates the isolated oxosilicate tetrahedra [SiO₄]^4— do not lie within the rhombic meshes of these layers, but above and below the (Ho2)³⁺ cations while viewing along [100].     

Nd4N2Se3 und Tb4N2Se3: Zwei nicht‐isotype Lanthanoid(III)‐Nitridselenide

Nd₄N₂Se₃ and Tb₄N₂Se₃: Two non‐isotypical Lanthanide(III) Nitride Selenides The non‐isotypical nitride selenides M₄N₂Se₃ of neodymium (Nd₄N₂Se₃) and terbium (Tb₄N₂Se₃) are formed by the reaction of the respective rare‐earth metal with sodium azide (NaN₃), selenium and the corresponding rare‐earth tribromide (MBr₃) at 900 °C in evacuated silica ampoules after seven days. Each of them crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/c with Z = 4 for Nd₄N₂Se₃ (a = 1300.47(4), b = 1009.90(3), c = 643.33(2) pm, β = 90.039(2)°) and in the space group C2/m with Z = 2 for Tb₄N₂Se₃ (a = 1333.56(5), b = 394.30(2), c = 1034.37(4) pm, β = 130.377(2)°), respectively. The crystal structures differ fundamentally in the linkage of the structure dominating N^3‐ centred (M³⁺)₄ tetrahedra. In Nd₄N₂Se₃, the [NNd₄] units are edge‐linked to bitetrahedra which are cross‐connected to [N(Nd1)(Nd2)]³⁺ layers via their remaining four corners, whereas the [NTb₄] tetrahedra in Tb₄N₂Se₃ share cis‐oriented edges to form strands [N(Tb1)(Tb2)]³⁺. Both structures contain two crystallographically different M³⁺ cations, that show coordination numbers of six and seven (Nd₄N₂Se₃) or twice six (Tb₄N₂Se₃), respectively, relative to the anions (N^3‐ und Se^2‐). Each of the two independent kinds of Se^2‐ anions provide the three‐dimensional linkage as well as the charge balance. The particular axial ratio a/c and the monoclinic reflex angle offer two choices for fixing the unit cell of Tb₄N₂Se₃.

X‐ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of [(Ph₃P)₂N]₂[(W₆Cl)I] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ · 2 Et₂O ( 1 ) (triclinic, space group P1, a = 10.324(5), b = 14.908(3), c = 17.734(8) Å, α = 112.78(2)°, β = 99.13(3)°, γ = 92.02(3)°, Z = 1) and [(Ph₃P)₂N]₂[(W₆Cl)(NCS)] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ ( 2 ) (triclinic, space group P1, a = 11.115(2), b = 14.839(2), c = 17.036(3) Å, α = 104.46(1)°, β = 105.75(2)°, γ = 110.59(1)°, Z = 1). The thiocyanate ligands of 2 are bound exclusively via N atoms with W–N bond lengths of 2.091–2.107 Å, W–N–C angles of 173.1–176.9° and N–C–S angles of 178.1–179.3°. The vibrational spectra exhibit characteristic innerligand vibrations at 2067–2045 (ν_CN), 879–867 (ν_CS) and 490–482 (δ_NCS). Based on the molekular parameters of the X‐ray determination of 1 the vibrational spectra of the corresponding (n‐Bu₄N) salt of 1 are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(WW) = 1.61, f_d(WI) = 1.23 and f_d(WCl) = 1.10 mdyn/Å.

By treatment with NH₄F the outer sphere coordinated trifluoracetato ligands are easily substituted and the components of the series [(W₆Cl)FCl], n = 1–6 are formed and characterized by their distinct ¹⁹F NMR chemical shifts. An X‐ray structure determination has been performed on a single crystal of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[(W₆Cl)F] · 2 CH₂Cl₂ (orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 15.628(4), b = 17.656(3), c = 20.687(4) Å, Z = 4). The low temperatur IR (60 K) and Raman (20 K) spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination.

Polysulfonylamines. CLIV. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 7. A Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Built up from Layers and Pillars: Crystal Structure of Ba[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₂·2H₂O The barium compound BaA₂·2H₂O, derived from HA = di(methanesulfonyl)amine, has been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction at —95 °C (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4). Despite numerous metal‐ligand bonds, the independent anions A^— and A′^— retain the pseudo‐C₂ symmetric conformation that commonly occurs in organic onium salts BH⁺A^—. The large cation attains ninefold coordination via interactions with one (O, N)‐chelating A^—, three κ¹O‐bonding A^—, two κ¹O‐bonding A′^— and two monodentate water molecules; if a distinctly longer barium‐water distance is included, the coordination number may alternatively be viewed as 9 + 1 and one water molecule regarded as an asymmetrically μ₂‐bridging ligand. In contrast to the previously reported layer structures of SrA₂ and PbA₂, the present crystal displays a three‐dimensional coordination assembly consisting of layers formed by the cations, the water molecules and the pentadentate A^— ligands, and of interlayer pillars provided by the bidentate A′^— ligands; however, the Ba²⁺/A^— substructure turns out to be topologically and crystallographically congruent with the corresponding M²⁺/A^— substructures in SrA₂ and PbA₂. The crystal cohesion of the barium complex is reinforced by four O(W)—H···O=S hydrogen bonds and several non‐classical C—H···O=S hydrogen bonds.     

Synthese und Struktur der Komplexe [(n‐Bu)4N]2[{(THF)Cl4Re≡N}2PdCl2], [Ph4P]2[(THF)Cl4Re≡N‐PdCl(μ‐Cl)]2 und [(n‐Bu)4N]2[Pd3Cl8]

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complexes [(n‐Bu)₄N]₂[{(THF)Cl₄Re≡N}₂PdCl₂], [Ph₄P]₂[(THF)Cl₄Re≡N‐PdCl(μ‐Cl)]₂ and [(n‐Bu)₄N]₂[Pd₃Cl₈] The threenuclear complex [(n‐Bu)₄N]₂[{(THF)Cl₄Re≡N}₂ PdCl₂] ( 1 ) is obtained in THF by the reaction of PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂ with [(n‐Bu)₄N][ReNCl₄] in the molar ration 1:2. It forms orange crystals with the composition 1· THF crystallizing in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 2973.3(2); b = 1486.63(7); c = 1662.67(8)pm; β = 120.036(5)° and Z = 4. If the reaction is carried out with PdCl₂ instead of PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂, orange crystals of hitherto unknown [(n‐Bu)₄N]₂[Pd₃Cl₈] ( 3 ) are obtained besides some crystals of 1· THF. 3 crystallizes with the space group P1¯ and a = 1141.50(8), b = 1401.2(1), c = 1665.9(1)pm, α = 67.529(8)°, β = 81.960(9)°, γ = 66.813(8)° and Z = 2. In the centrosymmetric complex anion [{(THF)Cl₄Re≡N}₂PdCl₂]^2— a linear PdCl₂ moiety is connected in trans arrangement with two complex fragments [(THF)Cl₄Re≡N]^— via asymmetric nitrido bridges Re≡N‐Pd. For Pd(II) thereby results a square‐planar coordination PdCl₂N₂. The linear nitrido bridges are characterized by distances Re‐N = 163.8(7)pm and Pd‐N = 194.1(7)pm. The crystal structure of 3 contains two symmetry independent, planar complexes [Pd₃Cl₈]^2— with the symmetry 1¯, in which the Pd atoms are connected by slightly asymmetric chloro bridges. By the reaction of equimolar amounts of [Ph₄P][ReNCl₄] and PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂ in THF brown crystals of the heterometallic complex, [Ph₄P]₂[(THF)Cl₄Re≡N‐PdCl(μ‐Cl)]₂ ( 2 ) result. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 979.55(9); b = 2221.5(1); c = 1523.1(2)pm; β = 100.33(1)° and Z = 2. In the central unit ClPd(μ‐Cl)₂PdCl of the centrosymmetric anionic complex [(THF)Cl₄Re≡N‐PdCl(μ‐Cl)]₂^2— the coordination of the Pd atoms is completed by two nitrido bridges Re≡N‐Pd to nitrido complex fragments [(THF)Cl₄Re≡N]^— forming a square‐planar arrangement for Pd(II). The distances in the linear nitrido bridges are Re‐N = 163.8(9)pm and Pd‐N = 191.5(9)pm.     

Carbometallate: Komplexe Anionenverbände [MoC4/26—] in der Kristallstruktur von Pr[MoIIC2]

Carbometalates: Complex Anions equation/tex2gif-stack-4.gif [MoC_4/2^6—] in the Crystal Structure of Pr equation/tex2gif-stack-5.gif [Mo^IIC₂] Criteria for the existence of carbometalates are established and discussed in a broader context. The concept is then applied to the novel compound Pr₂[MoC₂], which is characterized by chemical analyses, X‐ray diffraction and metallography. The crystal structure (tetragonal, P4₂/mnm, Z = 4, a = 581.29(8) pm, c = 1032.53(14) pm) consists of layered polyanions equation/tex2gif-stack-6.gif[MoC_4/2^6—] of distorted vertex and edge sharing MoC₄ tetrahedra. Praseodymium is also in a distorted tetrahedral coordination by carbon. The physical properties show “bad metal” behaviour and localized magnetic 4f‐moments in agreement with the existence of Pr³⁺‐species. A detailed bonding analysis using both the electron localization function ELF and the COHP method justifies the interpretation of the title compound as a carbomolybdate(II).
