Formation of the ionic gold(III) complex [Au3{S2CN(CH2)4O}6][Au2Cl8][AuCl4] in chemisorption systems [M{S2CN(CH2)4O}2] n -[AuCl4]−/2 M HCl (M = Cd, Zn): Supramolecular structure and thermal behavior

The interaction of freshly precipitated cadmium and zinc morpholinedithiocarbamates with solutions of AuCl₃ in 2 M HCl is studied. In both cases, the heterogeneous reactions of gold(III) binding from solutions lead to the formation of the ionic gold(III) complex [Au₃{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₆][Au₂Cl₈][AuCl₄] (I), whose molecular and supramolecular structures are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound I includes centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric cations [Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₂]⁺ in a ratio of 1: 2. According to the manifested structural differences, the complex cations are related as conformers (cations A are Au(1) and cations B are Au(2)). At the supramolecular level, the isomeric cations form linear trinuclear structural fragments [Au₃{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₆]³⁺ [A...B...A] due to secondary bonds Au...S of 3.6364 Å. The anionic part of compound I is presented by [AuCl₄]^? and centrosymmetric binuclear [Au₂Cl₈]^2?, whose formation involved secondary bonds Au...Cl of 3.486 and 3.985 Å. The ultimate chemisorption capacity of cadmium and zinc morpholinedithiocarbamates calculated from the binding of gold(III) is 901.7 and 1010.4 mg of Au³⁺ per 1 g of the sorbent, respectively (i.e., each miononuclear fragment of the chemisorption complexes [M{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₂] participates in binding of two gold atoms). To establish the conditions for the isolation of bound gold, the thermal properties of compound I are studied by simultaneous thermal analysis. The thermal destruction process includes the thermolysis of the dithiocarbamate part of the complex and anions [AuCl₄]^? and [Au₂Cl₈]^2? with the reduction of gold to the metal, being the only final product of the thermal transformations of compound I.     

Fixation mode of gold(III) in [Cd{S2CN(CH2)4O}2] n -[AuCl4]−/2 M HCl chemisorption system: Preparation, supramolecular self-organization and thermal behavior of the heteropolynuclear complex ([Au{S2CN(CH2)4O}2]2[CdCl4] · H2O) n

A capability of freshly deposited cadmium complex with cyclic morpholinodithiocarbamate ligand (MfDtc) to bind gold(III) from 2 M HCl solutions was studied. The individual form of bound gold (III) isolated from solution was found to be the hydrated heteropolynuclear complex of ionic type ([Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₂]₂[CdCl₄] · H₂O) _n (I). Molecular and supramolecular structure of preparatively isolated compound I was established by X-ray diffraction study, the structure includes four (1: 1: 1: 1) structurally nonequivalent centrosymmetric complex cations [Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₂]⁺ which relate to each other in agreement with appeared structural differences as conformers: A, B, C, and D cations with Au(1), Au(2), Au(3), and Au(4), respectively. At the supramolecular level, the isomeric complex cations undergo structural self-organization to form independent polymeric chains of two types: (-A-C-) _n and (-B-D-) _n on account of pairs of unsymmetrical secondary Au…S bonds (3.463, 3.496, and 3.627, 3.669 Å). Distorted tetrahedral [CdCl₄]^2? anions are located in the space between these chains. The chemisorption capacity of cadmium morpholinodithiocarbamate calculated from gold(III) binding is 450.8 mg Au³⁺ per 1 g of sorbent (i.e., each mononuclear fragment of the chemisorbent complex [Cd{S₂CN(CH₂)₄O}₂] binds one gold atom. The conditions of recovery of bound gold were found in the study of thermal behavior of I by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA). The multistep process of thermal destruction includes complex dehydration, thermolysis of its dithiocarbamate fragment and [CdCl₄]^2? to release gold metal, cadmium chloride, and partially CdS.     

Gold(III) preconcentration from acid solutions by cadmium diisopropyldithiocarbamate: Gold(III)-binding species, supramolecular structure, and thermal properties of the heteropolynuclear complex ([Au{S2CN(iso-C3H7)2}2]2[CdCl4] · 1/2C3H6O) n

The reaction of binuclear cadmium diisopropyldithiocarbamate with a solution of AuCl₃ in 2 M HCl was studied. The heterogeneous reaction of gold(III) binding follows a chemisorption scenario (in combination with partial ion exchange) and yields a heteropolynuclear gold(III)-cadmium complex. The molecular and crystal structure of a solvated species of the compound, namely ([Au{S₂CN(iso-C₃H₇)₂}₂]₂[CdCl₄] · 1/2C₃H₆O) _n (I), was solved by X-ray crystallography. The structure of complex I contains (in the ratio 1: 1) structurally nonequivalent molecular cations [Au{S₂CN(iso-C₃H₇)₂}₂]⁺; the differences between these cations allow them to be classified as conformational isomers (cations A and B). The specifics of the supramolecular organization of complex I consist of the alternation of layers of [Au₂{S₂CN(iso-C₃H₇)₂}₄]²⁺ binuclear cations (formed by cations A), ([Au{S₂CN(iso-C₃H₇)₂}₂]⁺) _n polymer chains (formed by cations B), and [CdCl₄]^2? anions. The chemisorption capacity of the precursor cadmium diisopropyldithiocarbamate as calculated from the gold(III) binding reaction is 423.5 mg Au³⁺ per gram of sorbent. The thermal properties of complex I were studied by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) in order for the parameters of sorbed gold recovery to be determined. The multistep thermal destruction process involves desorption of solvating acetone molecules, thermolysis of the dithiocarbamate part of the complex and [CdCl₄]^2? with release of metallic gold and cadmium chloride and formation of CdS, as well as vaporization of CdCl₂ and CdS. The only final product of thermal conversions is reduced metallic gold.     

A fixation mode of gold(III) in the course of the chemisorption interaction with cadmium cyclo-hexamethylene dithiocarbamate: Structural organization and thermal behavior of the heteropolynuclear complex ([Au{S2CN(CH2)6}2]2[CdCl4] · 3/4H2O) n (an example of the complicated supramolecular structure)

The chemisorption interaction of binuclear cadmium cyclo-hexamethylene dithiocarbamate with H[AuCl₄] in a solution of 2 M HCl is studied. The state of the chemisorbent is monitored by ¹¹³Cd and ¹³C MAS NMR spectroscopy. The result of the heterogeneous reaction, including the chemisorption of gold(III) from a solution and partial ion exchange, is the formation of the heteropolynuclear gold(III)-cadmium complex. The crystal, molecular, and supramolecular structures of the hydrated form of the synthesized coordination compound ([Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}₂]₂[CdCl₄] · 3/4H₂O) _n (I) are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound I includes three structurally nonequivalent complex cations [Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}₂]⁺. The character of structural differences between them indicate that they correlate as conformers: cations (A), (B), and (C) are present in the ratio 2: 1: 1. The isomeric cations perform different functions in the self-organization of the chemical system into unusually complicated supramolecular structure I. Cations (A) form centrosymmetric dimers [Au₂{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}]²⁺, which are involved together with cations (B) in the formation of polymeric chains ([Au₂{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}]²⁺ · [Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₆}₂]⁺) _n alternating along the chain length. Cations (C) are structurally isolated, as well as anions [CdCl₄]^2?. The chemisorption capacity of the cadmium cyclo-hexamethylene dithiocarbamate complex calculated from the reaction of Au(III) binding is 427.2 mg of gold per 1 g of the sorbent. To establish the optimum conditions for the regeneration of bound gold, the thermal behavior of I is studied by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA). The multistage process of chemical destruction includes the desorption of hydrate water, the thermolysis of the dithiocarbamate part of the complex and [CdCl₄]^2? (with the release of metallic gold and cadmium chloride and the partial formation of CdS), and the evaporation of CdCl₂ and CdS. The final product of thermal transformations is reduced metallic gold.

Chemisorption of the [AuCl4]− anion by cadmium cyclo-pentamethylenedithiocarbamate and the resulting bound-gold(III) species: The supramolecular structure and thermal behavior of the polynuclear complexes ([Au{S2CN(CH2)5}2]2[CdCl4]) n and ([Au{S2CN(CH2)5}Cl2]) n

The interaction between cadmium cyclo-pentamethylenedithiocarbamate (chemisorbent Ia) and the [AuCl₄]^? anion in 2 M HCl has been investigated. The state of the chemisorbent in contact with AuCl₃ solutions has been probed by ¹¹³Cd MAS NMR spectroscopy. The heterogeneous reactions in the system, including gold(III) chemisorption from the solution and partial ion exchange, yield the gold(III)-cadmium heteropolynuclear complex ([Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}₂]₂[CdCl₄]) _n (I) and the polynuclear mixed-ligand complex ([Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}Cl₂]) _n (II). The crystal and molecular structures of these compounds have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The main structural units of the compounds are the complex cation [Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}₂]⁺, [CdCl₄]^2? anion (in I), and Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}Cl₂ molecule (in II). The further structural self-organization of the complexes at the supramolecular level is due to secondary Au...S and Au...Au bonds. [Au₂{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}₄]²⁺ dinuclear cations form in the structure of I, which then polymerize into ([Au₂{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}₄]²⁺) _n chains. In the structure of II, adjacent Au{S₂CN(CH₂)₅}Cl₂ molecules join by forming pairs of asymmetric secondary Au...S bonds, producing polymer chains with alternating antiparallel monomer units. The chemisorption capacity values calculated for cadmium cyclo-pentamethylenedithiocarbamate from gold(III) binding reactions are 455 and 910 mg of gold per gram of sorbent. The gold recovery conditions have been determined by investigating the thermal behavior of I and II by synchronous thermal analysis. The multistep thermal destruction of ionic complex I includes the thermolysis of its carbamate moiety and [CdCl₄]_2? (which liberates gold metal and cadmium chloride and yield some amount of CdS) and CdCl₂ and CdS evaporation. The thermolysis of II proceeds via the formation of Au₂S and AuCl as intermediate compounds. In both cases, the ultimate pyrolysis product is elemental gold.

Synthesis,Molecular Structure,and Thermal Properties of the Supramolecular Complex [Zn{NH(CH2)4O}{S2CN(C2H5)2}2]2 · CH2N(CH2)4O}2

The supramolecular complex [Zn{NH(CH₂)₄O}{S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂}₂]₂ · CH₂N(CH₂)₄O}₂ (I) has been synthesized and studied by X-ray crystallography and thermal analysis. The noncentrosymmetric complex is composed of two structurally nonequivalent molecules of the adduct of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)zinc with morpholine, which are linked with the outer-sphere N,N’-dimorpholinomethane molecule through two hydrogen bonds N-H?O. The major differences between the adduct molecules are related to the strength of Zn-N bonds, spatial orientation of the coordinated morpholine heterocyclic rings, and the proportion between the contributions of the trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) and tetragonal pyramidal (TP) components to the geometry of zinc polyhedra. Calculations show that the geometry of the zinc polyhedra is almost halfway between TBP and TP. The thermal destruction of supramolecular compound I is accompanied by desorption of the outer-sphere and coordinated organic molecules. At the final stage, defragmentation of the “dithiocarbamate part” of the complex leads to the formation of ZnS.     

Synthesis and Structure of Trinuclear Iron Acetate [Fe3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3][AuCl4]·6H2O

Iron acetate of composition [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃][AuCl₄]·6H₂O (I) was synthesized and investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cation has a structure typical for ₃-O bridged trinuclear ferric compounds with iron atoms lying at the vertices of a regular triangle with an oxygen atom at the center. The iron atoms are each coordinated by 4 oxygen atoms of the four bridging carboxylic groups, the ₃-O bridging atom, and the coordinated water molecule in the trans-position to the latter. In the trinuclear cation, the Fe(III) ions are coupled by antiferromagnetic exchange interactions with the exchange parameter J = -29.0 cm ^–1 (HDVV model for D _3h symmetry). The specific role of the solvate water molecules in structure formation is discussed.     

Unique seven-node rare-earth octacyanomolybdate(IV) three-dimensional molecular frameworks: {[Er(H2O)5(Er(H2O)4)3][Mo(CN)8]3·11H2O}n and {[Eu(H2O)5(Eu(H2O)4)3][Mo(CN)8]3·11H2O}n

The crystal structure analyses of {[Er(H₂O)₅(Er(H₂O)₄)₃][Mo(CN)₈]₃·11H₂O}_n (1) and {[Eu(H₂O)₅(Eu(H₂O)₄)₃][Mo(CN)₈]₃·11H₂O}_n (2), show that they are not only new neutral three-dimensional rare-earth octacyanomolybdate(IV) molecular frameworks, but that they also belong to an unknown structure type having seven different nodes. To the best of our knowledge this is different to any other known molybdenum(IV) octacyanide complexes published to date. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P-1, and are isostructural and isotypic. The coordination polyhedra of the molybdenum atoms in the three different [Mo(CN)₈]⁴⁻ anions are trigonal prisms, with two additional atoms. A new bridging mode for octacyanometallates is also observed with five of the eight cyanide groups involved in bridging either three or four rare-earth atoms, while the three remaining cyanide groups are terminal and are involved in hydrogen bonding. The four rare-earth atoms in 1 and 2 have different coordination polyhedra in the form of trigonal prisms with two additional atoms. The three-dimensional structures are made up of infinite two-dimensional slabs linked by one of the rare-earth metal atoms. In both compounds, apart from the 17 coordinated water molecules, there are 11 lattice water molecules of crystallization present in the cavities of the three-dimensional frameworks. The 28 water molecules and the terminal CN⁻ groups are involved in an extensive O–H⋯O and O–H⋯N hydrogen bonding network.     

Iron salts with the tetracyanidoborate anion: [Fe(III)(H2O)6][B(CN)4]3, coordination polymer [Fe(II)(H2O)2{κ2N[B(CN)4]}2], and [Fe(II)(DMF)6][B(CN)4]2

The reaction of Fe(OH)(3) with tetracyanidoboronic acid, H[B(CN)(4)]·xH(2)O, in water leads to the first examples of tetracyanidoborates with a triply charged metal cation, [Fe(III)(H(2)O)(6)][B(CN)(4)](3) (1). Using elemental iron powder as starting material, [Fe(II)(H(2)O)(2){κ(2)ΝB(CN)(4)]}(2)] (2) is obtained. Anhydrous iron(II) tetracyanidoborate, which is synthesized by heating of 2, is soluble in dry dimethylformamide. After evaporation of the DMF solvent, single crystals of the third title compound, [Fe(II)(DMF)(6)][B(CN)(4)](2) (3), are obtained. Compound 3 is the first metal tetracyanidoborate soluble in nonpolar solvents. The title compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (1 rhombohedral, R3c (no. 167), a = 14.9017(7) ?, c = 20.486(1) ?, Z = 6; 2 tetragonal, I42d (no. 122), a = 12.3662(3) ?, c = 9.2066(4) ?, Z = 4; 3 triclinic, P1 (no. 2), a = 8.6255(3) ?, b = 11.0544(4) ?, c = 12.2377(5) ?, Z = 1). The metal ions in all three compounds are octahedrally coordinated. Whereas 1 and 3 are built up from isolated complex ions, 2 comprises a coordination polymer, in which the Fe(II) ion is coordinated by two oxygen atoms of two water molecules in a trans orientation and four nitrogen donor atoms of the [B(CN)(4)](-) groups, which bridge between neighboring iron ions. The iron(III) ion in 3 is in a perfect octahedral environment, which is formed by the O atoms of 6 molecules of water. The single-crystal X-ray structures, vibrational spectra, thermal properties, solubilities, and electrochemical characteristics are reported and compared with those of other known tetracyanidoborates.

The [Mo₄S₄(CN)₁₂]^6- cluster anion in 1 has an ordinary structure typical of cubane transition metal complexes. In the structure of the [Mo₆S₆(CN)₁₆]^8- anion of 2, two crystallographically independent molybdenum atoms form a Mo₆ metallocluster, represented as two edge-sharing tetrahedra.
