Synthesis and characterization of the silver maleonitrilediselenolates and silver maleonitriledithiolates [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(Se2C2(CN)2)4], [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4].0.33MeCN, [NBu4]4[Ag4(S2C2(CN)2)4], [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(Se2C2(CN)2)2].2MeCN, and [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)]3[Ag(S2C2(CN)2)2

Reaction of AgBF(4), KNH(2), K(2)Se, Se, and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2))(4)] (1). In the unit cell of 1 there are four [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](+) units and a tetrahedral Ag(4) anionic core coordinated in mu(1)-Se, mu(2)-Se fashion by each of four mns ligands (mns = maleonitrilediselenolate, [Se(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)). Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt) (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate, [S(2)C(2)(CN)(2)](2)(-)), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)].0.33MeCN (2). The Ag(4) anion of 2 is analogous to that in 1. Reaction of AgNO(3), Na(2)(mnt), and [NBu(4)]Br in acetonitrile yields [NBu(4)](4)[Ag(4)(mnt)(4)] (3). The anion of 3 also comprises an Ag(4) core coordinated by four mnt ligands, but the Ag(4) core is diamond-shaped rather than tetrahedral. Reaction of [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(Se(6))] with KNH(2) and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [K([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mns)(2)].2MeCN (4). The anion of 4 comprises an Ag center coordinated by two mns ligands in a tetrahedral arrangement. Reaction of AgNO(3), 2 equiv of Na(2)(mnt), and [2.2.2]-cryptand in acetonitrile yields [Na([2.2.2]-cryptand)](3)[Ag(mnt)(2)] (5). The anion of 5 is analogous to that of 4. Electronic absorption and infrared spectra of each complex show behavior characteristic of metal-maleonitriledichalcogenates.

Potassium thiocyanate argentates: K3[Ag(SCN)4], K4[Ag2(SCN)6] and K[Ag(SCN)2]

The anions of the title compounds contain [Ag(SCN)₄] units, with the S atoms coordinating to Ag⁺ in a tetrahedral arrangement. Whereas in the isolated anions of tripotassium tetra­thio­cyanatoargentate(I), K₃[Ag(SCN)₄], (I), all SCN^? groups are bonded as terminal ligands, in tetrapotassium di‐μ‐thio­cyanato‐S:S‐bis­[dithio­cyanato­argentate(I)], K₄[Ag₂(SCN)₆], (II), two AgS₄ tetrahedra share one common edge. In poly[potassium [argentate(I)‐di‐μ‐thio­cyanato‐S:S]], K[Ag(SCN)₂], (III), edge‐ and vertex‐sharing of AgS₄ tetrahedra results in infinite [Ag(SCN)₂]^? layers.

Zum Reaktionsverhalten der Tris(dialkylthiophosphinyl)phosphane – Die Kristallstruktur von [Ag{O[P(S)Me2]2}2] [AsF6]

Reactivity of Tris(dialkylthiophosphinyl)phosphines – Crystal Structure of [Ag{O[P(S)Me₂]₂}₂][AsF₆] In contrast to tris(dialkylphosphoryl)phosphines the reaction of tris(dimethylthiophosphinyl)phosphine with transition metal hexafluoroarsenates of the type [M(SO₂)_m [AsF₆]_n (M = Ag, m = 0, n = 1; M = Fe, Cd, m = n = 2) forms no molecular 2 : 1-complexes but polymeric products. The silver polymer is transformed into [Ag{O[P(S)Me₂]₂}₂][AsF₆], which is also formed by the reaction of Ag[AsF₆] with O[P(S)Me₂]₂. It crystallizes in the space group P1 with a = 862.5(2), b = 1 241.4(2), c = 1 254.0(3)pm, α = 80.34(1), β = 101.99(6), γ= 73.75(1)° (at 20°C) and Z = 2. The central silver atom is surrounded by four sulphur atoms in a slighly distorted tetrahedron. The average (Ag? S) and (P? S) bond lengthes are 259.4(2) pm and 194.9(2)pm, respectively.     

Cs[Ag4Zn2(SCN)9]

Caesium tetrasilver dizinc nona­thio­cyanate, Cs[Ag₄Zn₂(SCN)₉], forms a continuous structure, where the Ag atoms and the S atoms of the thio­cyanate groups form chains which run along [101]. These chains are bonded together through the Cs and Zn atoms. It is not possible to distinguish between space groups P1 and P, but, if the latter space group is correct, the structure contains a thio­cyanate group disordered across a centre of inversion. The structure is described in space group P, in which the Cs atom also lies on a centre of inversion.

Structural features of Ag[AuF4] and Ag[AuF6] and the stuctural relationship of Ag[AgF4]2 and Au[AuF4]2 to Ag[AuF4]2

Synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction data (SPDD) have been obtained for Ag[AgF4]2, Au[AuF4]2, Ag[AuF4], and Ag[AuF6]. Ag[AgF4]2 and Au[AuF4]2 are isostructural with Ag[AuF4]2, space group (SG) P2(1)/n, Z = 2, with the following: for Ag[AgF4]2 a = 5.04664(8), b = 11.0542(2), c = 5.44914(9) A, beta = 97.170(2) degrees; for Au[AuF4]2 a = 5.203(2), b = 11.186(3), c = 5.531(2) A, beta = 90.55(2) degrees. The structure of Ag[AgF4]2 was refined successfully (SPDD) applying the Rietveld method, yielding the following interatomic distances (A): AgII-F = 2.056(12), 2.200(13), 2.558(13); AgIII-F = two at 1.846(12), others = 1.887(12), 1.909(13), 2.786-(12), 2.796(12), 2.855(12). AgAuF4, like other AA'F4 salts (A = Na-Rb; A' = Ag, Au), crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type, SG I4/mcm (140), Z = 4 with a = 5.79109(6), c = 10.81676(7) A. SPDD gave (in A) four AuIII-F = 1.89(1) and eight AgI-F = 2.577(7). SPDD for AgAuF6 confirmed that it has the LiSbF6 structure, SG R3, Z = 3, with a = 5.2840(2), c = 15.0451(6) A.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Decanuclear Silver（I）-thiolate Compound Ag10S[S2P（OEt）2]8

A new decanuclear silver(I) compound Ag₁₀(μ₈‐S)(dtp)₈ [dtp=S₂P(OEt)₂] was isolated from a reaction mixture containing W₂S₄(dtp)₂ and AgN0₃, and its solid‐state molecular structure was determinated by X‐ray crystallography. The crystallographic study revealed that the compound contains a distorted mono‐capped quasi‐prism [Ag_io] with an octat‐bridging S atom at the center of the prism. The compound (C₃₂H₈₀Ag₁₀O₁₆P₈S₁₇, M_r=2592.46) crystallizes in the monoclinic P2₁/n space group, with a = 1.5111(5) nm, b=2.3656(8) nm, c=2.284(1) nm, β= 96.88(3)°, V=8.107(5) nm³, Z=4 and D,=2.12 g · cm^?3. The solution using direct method and full‐matrix least‐squares refinement led to R=0.066, Rw=0.078 for 3928 reflections with I3σ(I).     

TA on Mo(W)/Cu(Ag)/S clusters derived with [Cp*MS3]- Kinetics of [PPh4]2[Cp*WS3(CuBr)3]2 and [PPh4]2[Cp*MoS3(CuBr)3]2

Thermal analysis on two new heterometallic sulfide clusters, [PPh4]2[WS3(CuBr)3]2 and [PPh4]2[MoS3(CuBr)3]2 (where PPh4=tetraphenyl phosphonium, =pentamethylcyclopenta- dienyl), was carried out using a simultaneous TG-DTA unit in an atmosphere of flowing nitrogen and at various heating rates. Supplemented using EDS method, their thermal behavior and properties, together with the composition of their intermediate product, were examined and discussed in connection with their distinctive molecular structure as a dianion, which provided some theoretically and practically significant information. Both clusters decomposed in a two-step mode, but without a stable new phase composed of Mo/W-Cu-S formed during their decomposition process as we expected. Based on TG-DTG data, four methods, i.e. Achar-Brindley-Sharp, Coats-Redfern, Kissinger and Flynn- Wall-Ozawa equation, were used to calculate the non-isothermal kinetic parameters and to determine the most probable mechanisms. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A Functionalized Ag2S Molecular Architecture: Facile Assembly of the Atomically Precise Ferrocene‐Decorated Nanocluster [Ag74S19(dppp)6(fc(C{O}OCH2CH2S)2)18]

A ferrocene‐based dithiol 1,1′‐[fc(C{O}OCH₂CH₂SH)₂] has been prepared and treated with a Ag^I salt to form the stable dithiolate compound [fc(C{O}OCH₂CH₂SAg)₂]_n (fc=[Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)₂]). This is used as a reagent for the preparation of the nanocluster [Ag₇₄S₁₉(dppp)₆(fc(C{O}OCH₂CH₂S)₂)₁₈] which was obtained in good yield (dppp=1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane).     

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von heteronuklearen AgI/FeII‐Koordinationspolymeren: (Me3PhN)2[Ag2Fe(SCN)6], (Me3PhN)6[Ag6Fe3(ECN)18] (E = S,Se) und (Me3PhN)4[Ag2Fe(SCN)8]

The reaction of AgSCN with (Me₃PhN)₃[Fe(NCS)₆] in DMF yields two‐dimensional polymeric, heteronuclear complexes (Me₃PhN)₂[Ag₂Fe(SCN)₆] ( 1 ) and (Me₃PhN)₆[Ag₆Fe₃(SCN)₁₈] · CH₂Cl₂·DMF ( 2a ) with bridging SCN^? ligands, whereas additional (Me₃PhN)(SCN) leads to (Me₃PhN)₄[Ag₂Fe(SCN)₈] ( 3 ) with a one‐dimensional structure. The selenocyanato complex 2b , homologous to 2a , could also be prepared. Single crystal X‐ray structure determinations show, that the Ag⁺ ions in 1 and 2a are coordinated tetrahedrally by four S atoms, in 3 by one N and three S atoms of the bridging SCN^? ligands; six N atoms of the SCN^? or SeCN^? ligands bind to Fe²⁺ in an octahedral arrangement.     

From Infinite Chains according to 1∞[Zr(S2O7)4/2] in Zr(S2O7)2 to the unprecedented [Zr(S2O7)4]4– Anion in Ag4[Zr(S2O7)4]

The reaction of ZrCl₄ with oleum (65 % SO₃) in the presence of Ag₂SO₄ at 250 °C yielded colorless single crystals of Zr(S₂O₇)₂ [orthorhombic, Pccn, Z = 4, a = 709.08(6) pm, b = 1442.2(2) pm, c = 942.23(9) pm, V = 963.5(2) × 10⁶ pm³]. Zr(S₂O₇)₂ shows Zr⁴⁺ ions in an eightfold distorted square antiprismatic coordination of oxygen atoms belonging to four chelating disulfate units. Each S₂O₇^2– ion is connected to a further Zr⁴⁺ ion leading to chains according to ¹_∞[Zr(S₂O₇)_4/2]. The same reaction at a temperature of 150 °C resulted in the formation of Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] [monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1829.35(9) pm, b = 704.37(3) pm, c = 1999.1(1) pm, β = 117.844(2)°, V = 2277.6(2) × 10⁶ pm³]. Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] exhibits the unprecedented [Zr(S₂O₇)₄]^4– anion, in which the central Zr⁴⁺ cation is coordinated by four chelating disulfate units. Thus, in Ag₄[Zr(S₂O₇)₄] the ¹_∞[[Zr(S₂O₇)_4/2] chains observed in Zr(S₂O₇)₂ are formally cut into pieces by the implementation of Ag⁺ ions.
