The two compounds are isostructural and belong to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. For Ti. the cell parameters are a = 10.501(6), b = 18.104(5), c = 10.955(5) Å, β = 109.76(3)°, and D_c = 1.55 g/cm³ for Z = 4; for Sn, a = 10.572(9), b = 18.139(6), c = 11.056(5) Å, β = 109.16(4)°, and D_c = 1.75 g/cm³. Least-squares refinement led to a final R = 0.037 for 1735 observed reflections for the Ti complex, and R = 0.038 for 2940 observed reflections for the Sn derivative. The M-Cl lengths range from 2.221(2)–2.285(2) Å for M = Ti, and from 2.353(2)–2.357(2) Å for M = Sn. The M—O bonds are 2.102(4) and 2.138(4) Å for M = Ti, and 2.212(4) and 2.237(4) Å for M = Sn.

The potassium atom is coordinated to the ten oxygen atoms of the crown ligand at the distance from 2.859(3) to 2.930(3) Å. The ammonium complex (compound 2) has also 1:1 crown—cation ratio. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with a = 12.5061(6), b = 19.3724(5), c = 14.2203(9) Å, β = 102.476(5)°, V = 3363.8(3) ų, D_c = 1.501 g cm^?3, Z = 4, R = 0.0677 for 4172 unique observed reflections. The ammonium cation is completely enclosed with crown oxygen atoms forming seven hydrogen bonds. The conformation of previously reported dibenzo-30-crown-10 complexes with potassium salts were investigated using polar coordinate maps.

Twelve ternary alloys in the Ca‐Cu‐Sn system were synthesized as a test on the existing phases. They were prepared from the elements sealed under argon in Ta crucibles, melted in an induction furnace and annealed at 700 °C or 600 °C. Four ordered compounds were found: CaCuSn (YbAuSn type), Imm2, a = 4.597(1) Å, b = 22.027(2) Å, c = 7.939(1) Å, Z = 12, wR2 = 0.080, 1683 F² values; Ca₃Cu₈Sn₄ (Nd₃Co₈Sn₄ type), P6₃mc, a = 9.125(1) Å, c = 7.728(1) Å, Z = 2, wR2 = 0.087, 704 F² values; CaCu₂Sn₂ (new structure type), C2/m, a = 10.943(3) Å, b = 4.222(1) Å, c = 4.834(1) Å, β = 107.94(1)°, Z = 2, wR2 = 0.051, 343 F² values; CaCu₉Sn₄ (LaFe₉Si₄ type), I4/mcm, a = 8.630(1) Å, c = 12.402(1) Å, Z = 4, wR2 = 0.047, 566 F² values. In all phases the shortest Cu‐Sn distances are in the range 2.59‐2.66Å, while the shortest Cu‐Cu distances are practically the same, 2.53‐2.54Å, except CaCuSn where no Cu‐Cu contacts occur.     

Triethylaluminum-Based Ferrocenylalanes. Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (η5−C5H5)Fe[η5−C5H4Al2(C2H5)4Cl]

Abstract

The trietheylaluminum based ferrocenylalane (η⁵?C₅H₅)Fe[η⁵?C₅H₄Al₂(C₂H₅)₄Cl] was prepared from the reaction of triethylaluminum with chloromercuriferrocene in toluene and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with unit cell dimensions a = 9.353(3) Å, b = 10.281(7) Å, c = 11.599(9) Å, α = 79.64(7)°, β = 69.41(6)°, γ = 84.33(4)°, and Z = 2 for D_c = 1.27 g cm^?3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement has led to a final R factor of 0.068 based on 1866 independent observed reflections. The two diethylaluminum units are bridged by a chlorine atom and one carbon atom of a cyclopentadienyl group, thus forming an Al-Cl-Al-C ring. The four-membered ring is planar to within 0.02 Å. The Al-Cl distances are 2.404(4) Å and 2.266(5) Å. The Al-Cl-Al angle is 78.9(1)° while the Al-C-Al angle is 91.3(4)°. No significant aluminum-iron interaction is observed (Al… Fe = 3.137(4) Å).     

Adipato‐Bridged Mixed Ligand catena Complexes: ${_{\infty}^1}${[M(phen)(H2O)]L2/2} with M = NiII,CuII, ZnII; H2L = Adipic Acid

Three adipato bridged mixed ligand catena complexes {[M(phen)(H₂O)]‐(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2} with M = Ni^II ( 1 ), Cu^II ( 2 ), Zn^II ( 3 ) were synthesized. Structure determination based on X‐ray diffraction shows that they crystallize isostructurally in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with cell dimensions of: 1 a = 22.451(4)Å, b = 9.041(1)Å, c = 17.440(2)Å, β = 103.41(1)°, U = 3443.4(9)ų, Z = 8; 2 a = 22.479(2)Å, b = 9.067(1)Å, c = 17.494(3)Å, β = 103.67(1)°, U = 3464.6(8)ų, Z = 8; 3 a = 22.635(3)Å, b = 9.052(1)Å, c = 17.571(3)Å, β = 103.24(1)°, U = 3504.5(9)ų, Z = 8. The crystal structure consists of 1D {[M(phen)(H₂O)]‐(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2} zigzag chains, in which the metal atoms are all octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligands and four O atoms of one H₂O molecule and two adipato ligands. The zigzag chains are held together by interchain π‐π stacking interactions and interchain hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis and Structure of η4-Enone Complexes of Ruthenium(0)

A variety of [Ru(CO)₂L(η⁴enone)] complexes (L = phosphines, phosphites, and arsines, enone = (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one) have been synthesized. ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ³¹P-NMR spectra are reported and the X-ray structures of two Ru complexes with L ? Ph₃P(7), Et₃P ( 10 ) and one Fe complex with L ? Ph₃P ( 14 ) are presented. All three compounds crystallize in the same monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 10.575(2) Å, b =9.213(2) Å, and c = 27.608(5) Å, β = 100.04(2)°, Z = 4 for 7 , a = 10.276(3) Å, b = 12.935(3) Å, and c = 14.854(2) Å, β = 96.96(2)°, Z = 4 for 10 , and a = 10.492(2) Å, b = 9.232(3) Å, and c = 27.129(3) Å, β = 98.67(2)°, Z = 4 for 14 . The structures of the Ru complexes are compared with the Fe analogues. In the case of M ? Ru and L ? (EtO)₃P, (MeO)₃P, and (i-PrO)₃P ( 9 , 11 , and 13 , respectively) stereoisomers could be detected by ³¹P-NMR at room temperature, wich arise from rotation at the coordinated metal centre.     

Cobalt(II) Complexes with Dicyanamide — from Binuclear Entities to Chains

One binuclear complex [Co(bpm*)₂(dca)]₂(ClO₄)₂ ( 1 ) and two 1D chain Co^II complexes, {[Co(bpm)₂(dca)](ClO₄)}_n ( 2 ) and [Co(dmf)₂(dca)₂]_n ( 3 ), (bpm*: bis[(3, 5‐dimethyl)pyrazolyl]methane; bpm: bis(pyrazolyl)methane; dca: dicyanamide; dmf: N, N‐dimethyl formamide) have been prepared and structurally characterized. The cobalt atoms are hexa‐coordinated forming a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, a = 9.849(3)Å, b = 21.944(7)Å, c = 13.814(5)Å, β = 94.824(6), Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0672, wR₂ = 0.1395. 1 is a binuclear complex linked by two dca ligands, and each Co^II ion is coordinated by two terminal bpm* ligands. Compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Cmcm, a = 10.377(4)Å, b = 13.594(5)Å, c = 15.999(6)Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0609, wR₂ = 0.1328. The structure of 2 can be described as a one‐dimensional zigzag chain of Co^II ions bridged by one dca ligand. Each Co^II ion in the chain is coordinated by two bpm ligands. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C₂, a = 13.559(15)Å, b = 7.393(8)Å, c = 8.110(9)Å, β = 112.228(15), Z = 2, R₁ = 0.0260, wR₂ = 0.0760. 3 has a one‐dimensional linear chain of Co^II ions bridged by two dca ligands, in which each Co^II ion is coordinated with two dmf molecules.
