Bis(4‐picoline‐κN)gold(I) dibromidoaurate(I) and bis(4‐picoline‐κN)gold(I) dichloridoaurate(I): space‐group ambiguity?

Bis(4‐picoline‐κN)gold(I) dibromidoaurate(I), [Au(C₆H₇N)₂][AuBr₂], (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with two half cations and one general anion in the asymmetric unit. The cations, located on centres of inversion, assemble to form chains parallel to the a axis, but there are no significant contacts between the cations. Cohesion is provided by flanking anions, which are connected to the cations by short Au...Au contacts and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, and to each other by Br...Br contacts. The corresponding chloride derivative, [Au(C₆H₇N)₂][AuCl₂], (II), is isotypic. A previous structure determination of (II), reported in the space group P with very similar axis lengths to those of (I) [Lin et al. (2008). Inorg. Chem. 47 , 2543–2551], might be identical to the structure presented here, except that its γ angle of 88.79 (7)° seems to rule out a monoclinic cell. No phase transformation of (II) could be detected on the basis of data sets recorded at 100, 200 and 295 K.     

Solvent extraction of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N,N′,N′</Emphasis>-tetraoctyldiglycolamide

N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyldiglycolamide (TODGA) was synthesized and characterized with elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The synthesized TODGA was applied for the extraction and separation of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) from nitric acid solutions. The performed studies include the effects of TODGA, nitric acid, nitrate ion, hydrogen ion, and metal ion concentrations as well as time and temperature. TODGA shows effective extraction of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) from HNO₃ ≥ 3 M. However, the maximum separation factor (D _Zr/D _Hf) obtained using TODGA is 2.8.     

Mass spectrometric study of the vaporization of N,N′-<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-phenylene-bis(salicylideniminate) nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) and N,N′-ethylene-bis(salicylaldiminate) zinc(II) complexes

The thermodynamics of vaporization of Ni(saloph), Cu(saloph), Zn(saloph), and Zn(salen) complexes are studied by Knudsen effusion method with mass spectrometric control of the vapor composition. It is noted that in the mass spectra of Zn(saloph) and Zn(salen), there are low-intensity peaks corresponding to ions of dimer.

Potassium nitrate and chloride were used as supporting electrolytes. The results obtained were extrapolated to the zeroth ionic strength using an equation with one individual parameter, and the thermodynamic stability constants of the complexes were calculated. The results are compared with the corresponding data on related compounds.     

Preparation of N,N,N′-tris(trimethylsilyl)amidines; a convenient route to unsubstituted amidines

The tris(trimethylsilyl)amidines RC(NSiMe₃)N(SiMe₃)₂ (R  C₆H₅, p-CH₃C₆-H₄, p-ClC₆H₄, p-MeOC₆H₄, p-Me₂NC₆H₄, p-CF₃C₆H₄, p-C₆H₅C₆H₄ and CF₃) are prepared by the reaction of the respective nitriles with (Me₃Si)₂NLi·OEt₂ in ether to give intermediates RC(NLi)N(SiMe₃)₂.

Gas electron diffraction at a temperature T of 641(5) K is used to study the structure of an N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylaldiminato) zinc(II) molecule, ZnO₂N₂C₁₆H₁₄, further Zn(salen). The structure of a gaseous Zn(salen) complex has C ₂ symmetry and is characterized by a substantial turn of two chelating fragments of the ligand with respect to each other, and also by a big difference in the length of coordination bonds: r _h1(Zn-O)=1.902(7) Å r _h1(Zn-N)= 2.027(7) Å. Results of the DFT/B3LYP calculation with 6-31G* and CEP,TZV basis sets of the molecule structure well agree with the experimental data.

Crystal structure of (1,10-phenanthroline)ethylenediamine-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N′</Emphasis>-diacetatocopper(II) pentahydrate, [Cu(Edda)(Phen)] · 5H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

The products of oxidation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid by manganese dioxide have been used to synthesize crystals of [Cu(Edda)(Phen)] · 5H₂O (Edda is ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetate, and Phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The X-ray diffraction analysis of the crystals shows that the N atoms of the Edda and Phen ligands lie in the equatorial plane around the Cu atom, and the O atoms of the Edda ligands are localized in more remote axial positions. The [Cu(Edda)(Phen)] complexes are grouped in pairs at a distance of 3.46 Å between the mean planes of the Phen ligands. Ten water molecules are united by hydrogen bonds into symmetric isolated clusters, and further they form a three-dimensional framework with the [Cu(Edda)(Phen)] complexes.     

Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex with N,N′- ethylenebis(salicylideneimine)

The interaction of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine), H₂salen, with ammonium molybdate yielded the molybdenum(VI) complex MoO₂(salen) with the cis-dioxostructure as inferred from IR spectral studies. The ¹H NMR chemical shifts of azomethine protons in the free ligand and the complex are 8.14 and 8.39 δ, respectively, suggesting the bonding of the azomethine nitrogen to MoO₂ group. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the complex is discussed.

A series of new mononuclear octahedral nickel(II) complexes with the Ni(N∩N) _x L₂ framework (x = 2 or 3, N∩N = Рhen (1,10-phenanthroline), AMPy (2-(aminomethyl)pyridine), L is H₂O, anions of carboxylic acids (CF₃CO₂?, CCl₃CO₂?, HCO₂?), chloride ion, and water) is synthesized and described by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis: [Ni(Рhen)₂(OH₂)Cl]Cl · 2H₂O (I), [Ni(Рhen)₂(OH₂)(O₂CCF₃)](O₂CCF₃) (II, IIa), [Ni(Рhen)₂(HCOO)_1.618(H₂O)_0.382](HCOO)_0.382 · 4.618H₂O (III), ([Ni(Рhen)₂(OH₂)₂](O₂CCCl₃)₂ · 6.2H₂O (IV), [Ni(AMPy)₂(OH₂)₂](HCO₂)₂ · 6H₂O (V), and [Ni(Рhen)₃](CCl₃COO)₂ · 7H₂O (VI). The subunit containing two formate ligands in the inner sphere of the [Ni(Рhen)₂(HCO₂)₂] complex prevails in the crystal structure of complex III, which is not characteristic of the nickel carboxylate complexes of this type. In aqueous solutions complex IV undergoes decarboxylation to form [Ni(Рhen)₂(CO₃)] · 7H₂O. A change in the nature of the N-donor ligands in Ni(N∩N)₂L₂ leads to the change (cis or trans) in the configuration of the whole complex (СIF files CCDC no. 880414 (I), 842336 (II), 1430414 (IIa), 1478111 (III), 1430430 (IV), 1443133 (V), and 1430415 (VI)).

The chloro-perchlorato complex, [Cu(DEAP)Cl(ClO₄)], (2) obtained in near quantitative yield by reacting (1) with an excess of NaClO₄ in EtOH, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2_{1/ n} with cell constants, a = 7.965(1); b = 25.827(2); c = 10.046(1) Å β = 98.81(1)° V = 2042.2(4) ų and Z = 4. Both (1) and (2) contain 5-coordinated copper linked to DEAP through O～N～O donor set of atoms with covalently bonded chlorine atoms in (1) and chlorine and perchlorate groups in (2). The coordination geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, and is probably best described as a trigonally distorted rectangular pyramid.
