Untersuchungen an Polyhalogeniden III. Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-tetraiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I2 · I2], und Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-hexaiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I3]I3

Studies on Polyhalides. III. Crystal Structures of [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] and [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ Tetramminecopper(II)tetraiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] (I) crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/m with a = 1 185.9 pm, b = 892.8 pm, c = 656.8 pm, β = 111.10° and Z = 2 formula units. Tetramminecopper(II)hexaiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ (II) crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pnnm with a = 874.9 pm, b = 1 089.8 pm, c = 885.3 pm, and Z = 2 formula units. A special feature of these structures are coordinated polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). In both compounds four coplanar nitrogen atoms and two axial iodine atoms form a quasi-octahedral coordination around copper with the usual (4+2)-tetragonal distortion. The copper ions are connected by linear, centrosymmetric polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). Therefore infinite planar zigzag chains of units [Cu(NH₃)₄I₄] (I) or [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]⁺(II) are resulting. The counterion I₃^? (II) is intercalated between these chains.

The solid solution, (LiNH2)x(LiBH4)(1-x), formed through the reaction of the two potential hydrogen storage materials, LiNH2 and LiBH4, is dominated by a compound that has an ideal stoichiometry of Li4BN3H10 and forms a body-centred cubic structure with a lattice constant of ca. 10.66 A.     

First characterization of the ammine-ammonium complex [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ in the crystal structure of [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 and the [NH4(NH3)4]+ complex in [NH4(NH3)4][Ca(NH3)7]As3S6.2NH3 and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3

The compound [NH4(NH3)4][B(C6H5)4].NH3 (1) was prepared by the reaction of NaB(C(6)H(5))(4) with a proton-charged ion-exchange resin in liquid ammonia. [NH(4)(NH(3))(4)][Ca(NH(3))(7)]As(3)S(6).2NH(3) (2) and [NH4(NH3)4][Ba(NH3)8]As3S6.NH3 (3) were synthesized by reduction of As(4)S(4) with Ca and Ba in liquid ammonia. All ammoniates were characterized by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. They were found to contain the ammine-ammonium complex with the maximal possible number of coordinating ammonia molecules, the [NH4(NH3)4]+ ion. 1 contains a special dimer, the [(NH4(NH3)4)2(mu-NH3)2]2+ ion, which is formed by two[NH4(NH3)4]+ ions linked by two ammonia molecules. The H(3)N-H...N hydrogen bonds in all three compounds range from 1.82 to 2.20 A (DHA = Donor-H...Acceptor angles: 156-178 degrees). In 2 and 3, additional H(2)N-H...S bonds to the thioanions are observed, ranging between 2.49 and 3.00 A (DHA angles: 120-175 degrees). Two parallel phenyl rings of the [B(C(6)H(5))(4)](-) anion in 1 form a pi...pi hydrogen bond (C...C distance, 3.38 A; DHA angles, 82 degrees), leading to a dimeric [B(C6H5)4]2(2-) ion.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of New Amminecopper(II) Nitrates: [Cu(NH3)2](NO3)2 and [Cu(NH3)](NO3)2

[Cu(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂ ( I ) and [Cu(NH₃](NO₃)₂ ( II ) were synthesized by interaction of molten NH₄NO₃ with [Cu(NH₃)₄](NO₃)₂ and Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3 H₂O, respectively, at 180 to 195°C for 24 hr. According to X-Ray single crystal analysis, I is orthorhombic (sp. gr. Pbca) with a = 5.678(1), b = 9.765(2), c = 11.596(2) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.060; II is monoclinic (sp. gr. P2₁/c) with a = 6.670(1), b = 8.658(2), c = 9.661(2) Å, β = 101.78(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.027. In both structures, the nearest coordination environment of Cu is a slightly distorted square formed by N (from NH₃) and O atoms (from NO₃ groups). The structure of I consists of centrosymmetrical [Cu(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂ molecules linked by hydrogen bonds. The Cu? N and Cu? O distances are 1.98 and 2.01 Å, respectively. In II , the Cu? N distance is 1.95 Å, the Cu? O distances are 1.96, 2.02, and 2.03 Å. The [CuO₃NH₃] squares are connected by NO₃ bridges into zigzag chains, which are linked into layers by longer Cu? O interactions (2.31 Å). Obviously, the layers are additionally strengthened and held together by hydrogen bonds.

The sizes of coherent scattering regions are 10–12 nm.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and characterizations of a 3-D Cu(I) complex with 1,6-bi(benzotriazole)hexane

Solvothermal reaction of the flexible ligand 1,6-bi(benzotriazole)hexane (BBTH) with CuCl generated a 3-D hybrid solid, {[CuCl]₂(BBTH)} _n (1), which was investigated by elemental analysis, FT-IR, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), X-ray single-crystal diffraction, TG/DTA, and photoluminescence measurements. Compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group I4(1)/a, a = b = 17.636(2) Å, c = 13.5345(15) Å, V = 4209.6(9) ų, Z = 8. The distorted tetrahedral geometry of Cu(I) is defined by two chlorides and two N donors from different BBTH ligands. Adjacent copper atoms are connected by μ₂-Cl to give a 1-D zigzag inorganic chain, and further linked by BBTH ligands via μ₄-bridging, forming the 3-D hybrid structure of 1. Cu(I) atoms and BBTH ligands can be regarded as two kinds of non-equivalent 4-connected nodes, which lead to an unusual topological network with Schläfli symbol of (3².8.9².10)₂(3².8².9²). Compound 1 exhibits high thermal stability and shows strong red fluorescence emission at 538 nm in the solid state at ambient temperature.

A new cubane cluster [Cu₄I₄(AsAn₃)₄] was synthesized in 82% yield by the reaction of tris(p-anisyl)arsine (AsAn₃) with CuI. At ambient temperature, this cluster exhibits bright yellow-green phosphorescence (λ_max = 546 nm) with the quantum yield of 35% and 4.1 μs decay time.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Cu(I) and Ni(II) complexes of 1,1-diethyl-3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-thiourea

The reaction of 1,1-diethyl-3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-thiourea (HL) with CuCl₂ ·?2H₂O and NiCl₂ ·?6H₂O give two complexes, Cu(HL)₃Cl (1) and NiL₂ (2). The crystal structures of these products were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1, three HL molecules are unidentate, coordinating through the sulfur, and the copper is tetrahedral with three S and one Cl. In 2, two HL molecules are O and S donor bidentate and coordinate as anionic species with loss of the proton from the acyl-substituted nitrogen; the nickel is square-planar.     

Versatility of heterocyclic thioamides in the construction of a trinuclear cluster [Cu3I3(dppe)3 (SC5H4NH)] and Cu(I) linear polymers {Cu6(SC5H4NH)6I6}n x 2nCH3CN and {Cu(I)6 (SC3H6N2)6X6}n (X = Br, I)

Reaction of copper(I) iodide with pyridine-2-thione (2-SC5H4NH) and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in a CH3CN-CHCl3 mixture yielded a triangular cluster, [Cu3I3(mu2-P,P-dppe)3 (eta1-SC5H4NH)], 1. Similar reaction with 2-SC5H4NH and a series of diphosphanes, Ph2P-X-Ph2P {X = -CH2- (dppm), -(CH2)3- (dppp), -(CH2)4- (dppb), -CH=CH- (dppen)}, gave a novel iodo-bridged hexanuclear Cu(I) linear polymer,{Cu6(mu3-SC5H4NH)4 (mu2-SC5H4NH)2 (I4)(mu-I)2-}n x 2nCH3CN, 2. Reactions of copper(I) iodide/copper(I) bromide with 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione (SC3H6N2) in a CH3CN-CHCl3 mixture yielded hexanuclear Cu(I) linear chain polymers, [{Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)2 (mu2-SC3H6N2)4X2 (mu-X)4}n] (X = Br, 4; I, 5). In compound 1, two iodide atoms and one dppe form the dinuclear Cu(mu2-I)2 (mu2-dppe)Cu core, and two dppe ligands bridge this core with the third Cu(I) center coordinated to 2-SC5H4NH via the S atom. The chain polymer 2 has a centrosymmetric hexanuclear central core, Cu6S6I4 (mu-I)2--, formed by dimerization of six-membered trinuclear motifs, Cu3(mu2-SC3H6N2)3I3 via (mu3-S) bonding modes of the thione ligand, and has four terminal and two bridging iodine atoms in trans-orientations. Linear chains are separated by the nonbonded acetonitrile molecules. In 4 and 5, three copper(I) bromide or copper(I) iodide moieties and three SC3H6N2 ligands combined via bridging S donor atoms to form the six-membered trinuclear Cu3(mu2-SC3H6N2)3I3 cores which polymerized via S and X atoms in a side-on fashion to form linear chain polymers, [{Cu6(mu3-SC3H6N2)2 (mu2-SC3H6N2)4X2(mu-X)4}n]. The (mu3-S) modes of bonding of neutral heterocyclic thioamides are first examples, as are trinuclear cluster and linear polymers rare examples in copper chemistry.     

On the crystal chemistry of three copper(II)-arsenates: Cu3(AsO4)2-III,Na4Cu(AsO4)2, and KCu4(AsO4)3

The three copper(II)-arsenates were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions; their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a=5.046(2) Å,b=5.417(2) Å,c=6.354(2) Å, =70.61(2)°, =86.52(2)°, =68.43(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.035 for 1674 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a=4.882(2) Å,b=5.870(2) Å,c=6.958(3) Å, =98.51(2)°, =90.76(2)°, =105.97(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.028 for 2157 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a=12.234(5) Å,b=12.438(5) Å,c=7.307(3) Å, =118.17(2)°,Z=4, space group C2/c,R=0.029 for 1896 reflections with sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Within these three compounds the Cu atoms are square planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4+1], and tetragonal bipyramidal [4+2] coordinated by O atoms; an exception is the Cu(2)^[4+1] atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: the coordination polyhedron is a representative for the transition from a tetragonal pyramid towards a trigonal bipyramid. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ the Cu(1)^[4]O₄ square and the As(1)O₄ tetrahedron share a common O—O edge of 2.428(5) Å, resulting in distortions of both the CuO₄ square and the AsO₄ tetrahedron. The two Na atoms in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂ are [6] coordinated, the K atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ is [8] coordinated by O atoms.Die drei Kupfer(II)-Arsenate wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet und ihre Kristallstrukturen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenbeugungsmethoden ermittelt:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a = 5.046(2) Å,b = 5.417(2) Å,c = 6.354(2) Å, = 70.61 (2)°, = 86.52(2)°, = 68.43(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.035 für 1674 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a = 4.882(2) Å,b = 5.870(2) Å,c = 6.958(3) Å, = 98.51(2)°, = 90.76(2)°, = 105.97(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.028 für 2157 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a = 12.234(5) Å,b = 12.438(5) Å,c = 7.307(3) Å, = 118.17(2)°,Z = 4, Raumgruppe C2/c,R = 0.029 für 1896 Reflexe mit sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Die Cu-Atome in diesen drei Verbindungen sind durch O-Atome quadratisch planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4 + 1] und tetragonal dipyramidal [4 + 2]-koordiniert; eine Ausnahme ist das Cu(2)^{[4 + 1]}-Atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: Das Koordinationspolyeder stellt einen Vertreter des Übergangs von einer tetragonalen Pyramide zu einer trigonalen Dipyramide dar. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ haben das Cu(1)^[4]O₄-Quadrat und das As(1)O₄-Tetraeder eine gemeinsame O—O-Kante von 2.428(5) Å, was eine Verzerrung der beiden Koordinationsfiguren CuO₄-Quadrat und AsO₄-Tetraeder bedingt. Die zwei Na-Atome in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₃ sind durch O-Atome [6]-koordiniert, das K-Atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ ist [8]-koordiniert.

The crystal structure of the Cu+ ion conductor, (C5H5NH)2Cu5Br7

(C₅H₅NH)₂Cu₅Br₇, in which (C₅H₅NH)⁺ is the pyridinium ion, belongs to space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z = 4 and a = 13.09 ± 0.03 Å, b = 14.04 ± 0.03 Å, c = 11.78 ± 0.02Å. The 20 Cu⁺ ions are distributed non-uniformly over 52 tetrahedral sites. The bromide tetrahedra share faces in such a manner that undulating channels are formed in the [100] and [010] directions, and right- and left-handed helical channels are formed in the c-direction. The channels are interconnected, thereby forming a three-dimensional solid electrolyte. A detailed examination of the conduction pathways and of Cu⁺ ion site occupancies leads to the predictions that σ₂ (|b) should be somewhat greater than σ₁ (|a) but σ₃ (|c) should be substantially less than σ₁. (σ_i is the specific conductivity in the ith direction.) The ratio of available sites to current carriers and the percentage of unit cell volume attributable to the conduction pathways are both rather low and the average conductivity is rather high relative to AgI-based solid electrolytes.     

[M(NH3)5Cl]WO4 (M = Cr, Rh): Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal properties

By single crystal X-ray diffraction the crystal structure of a series of [M(NH₃)₅Cl]WO₄ (M = Cr, Rh) complex salts is determined. The features of thermal expansion of the single crystal of [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]WO₄ are studied by low- and high-temperature X-ray diffractometry in the temperature range from ?173°C to +127°C. It is shown that with an increase in the temperature, W-O distances and ∠O-W-O bond angles equalize and the average W-O distances decrease by 0.012 Å. The thermal properties of the salts in different gaseous atmospheres are examined and the phase composition of the obtained products is studied.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new complex containing Cu(I) and radicals, [Cu(imme2py)2](ClO4)

A new complex, [Cu(imme2py)₂](ClO₄) (imme2py?=?2-(2′-(6′-methylpyridyl))-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxyl) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, space group P ₂₁₂₁₂₁ . The structure consists of [Cu(imme2py)₂]⁺ cations and chloride anions. The coordination geometry about Cu(I) is tetrahedral with the four coordination sites being occupied by four nitrogen atoms. Magnetic measurements show intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions between the imino nitroxides.     

Crystal structure and single crystal EPR of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4[Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O

The X-ray crystal structures of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] (1) and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4- [Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O (2) were determined. Two single crystals are composed of distinct structures of ammonium-crown ether supramolecular cation and [Cu(mnt)2]2- anion. The triple-decker dication in complex 1 and a sandwich dimmer in complex 2 were observed. X-Band EPR studies on the single crystals of both complex 1 and complex 2 have been carried out at room temperature, which revealed that complex 2 showed a perfect hyperfine structure of Cu whereas that of complex 1 could not be observed. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g and A tensors were computed by a least-squares fitting procedure. The spin density of Cu(Ⅱ) was estimated according to the principal values of the A tensors and compared well with the results calculated based on DFT method.     

Unique Isle Anion [Cu6Cl10]4- in π-Complex of Cu(I) Chloride with 1-(2-Pyridyl)-4-allyl-piperazinium. Synthesis and crystal structure of [(C5H4NH)NC4H8NH(C3H5]2+[Cu3Cl5]2-

Single crystals of [(C₅H₄NH)NC₄H₈NH(C₃H₅)]²⁺[Cu₃Cl₅]^2? are obtained by ac synthesis in ethanol from 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-allyl-piperazinium and Cu(II) dichlorides and their structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (space group P-1, a = 7.246(7) Å, b = 8.54(1) Å, c = 16.41(1) Å, α = 70.76(8)°, β = 77.24(8)°, λ = 80.42(9)°, V = 30(4) ų, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.0686. In the structure of this π-complex, the Cu and Cl atoms form unusual centrosymmetrical Cu₆Cl₁₀ fragments, each fragment being bonded to two 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-allyl-piper-azinium cations via π-interaction Cu-(C=C). A three-dimensional structure is formed by means of N-H…Cl hydrogen bonds. The trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(1) atom includes three Cl atoms and the C=C bond, while the tetrahedral surrounding of Cu(2) and the trigonal surrounding of Cu(3) involve the Cl atoms only.     

Construction of a novel copper(I) chain polymer of hexanuclear Cu6(2-SC5H4NH)6I6 cores with a new (mu 3-S) mode of bonding of pyridine-2-thione and of an unusual triangular Cu3I3(dppe)3(2-SC5H4NH) cluster

The reactions of copper(I) iodide with pyridine-2-thione (2-SC(5)H(4)NH) in the presence of a series of diphosphane ligands, Ph(2)P[bond]X[bond]Ph(2)P [X = [bond](CH(2))(m)[bond], m = 1(dppm), 2 (dppe), 3 (dppp), 4 (dppb); [bond]CH[double bond]CH[bond] (dppen)], yielded an iodo-bridged hexanuclear Cu(I) linear polymer, [Cu(6)(mu(3)-SC(5)H(4)NH)(4)(mu(2)-SC(5)H(4)NH)(2)(I(4))(mu-I)(2)-](n).2nCH(3)CN (1). A similar reaction with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) and 2-SC(5)H(4)NH yielded a triangular cluster, Cu(3)I(3)(dppe)(3)(2-SC(5)H(4)NH), 2. In the chain polymer 1, three Cu(I) iodide and three 2-SC(5)H(4)NH ligands combined via bridging S donor atoms to form a boat-shaped trinuclear Cu(3)S(3)I(3) core, and two such cores combined in an inverse manner via four S-donor atoms (mu(3)-S) to form a centrosymmetric hexanuclear repeat unit, Cu(6)S(6)I(4)(mu-I)(2-), which finally formed the iodo-bridged infinite linear chain polymer 1. Linear chains are separated by the nonbonded acetonitrile molecules. Polymer 1 is the first such example of a linear chain formed by the hexanuclear Cu(6)S(6)I(6) core in copper chemistry as well as in metal-heterocyclic thioamide chemistry. In addition, it has the first mu(3)-S mode of neutral pyridine-2-thione ever reported. In the moiety Cu(3)I(3)(dppe)(3) of 2, two copper(I) centers are bridged by the iodide ligands forming a Cu(mu-I)(2)Cu core, while a third copper(I) center is terminally bonded to another iodide ligand. Polymer 2 is also rare, and the first triangular cluster of Cu(I) with an heterocyclic thioamide.
