The results show that PPh3 coordinates as a monodentate ligand to the Cu( Ⅰ ) atoms, and (NO3) behaves as a bidentate ligand in the prepared complex.

Finally Stable and Homoleptic: Isolation and Characterization of {Cu[Fe(CO)5]2}+ Stabilized with Perfluoroalkoxyaluminate Anion, [Al(OC(CF3)3)4]−

Developments in the chemistry of weakly coordinating anions enabled isolation of numerous unique metal complexes with unusual ligands. An important example is the family of metal-Fe(CO)₅ complexes. In the current paper we present synthesis and thorough characterization of the first truly homoleptic {Cu[Fe(CO)₅]₂}⁺ cation obtained as a salt of weakly coordinating [Al(OR^F)₄]⁻ (R^F=C(CF₃)₃) anion. TGA/DSC/MS study show that its decomposition becomes noticeable only above 110 °C, thus it can be stored as powder in air-free conditions for months. The crystal structure of {Cu[Fe(CO)₅]₂}⁺ shows strong asymmetry of the cation and very short Cu-CO bonds in comparison to analogous {M[Fe(CO)₅]₂}⁺ where M=Ag or Au. Characterization is complemented with analysis of vibrational spectra and extensive DFT calculations which give insight into the energetics of Cu⁺-Fe(CO)₅ systems. Our results show that {Cu[Fe(CO)₅]₂}⁺ is homoleptic only as salt of [Al(OR^F)₄]⁻. Furthermore, in the presence of additional, even weakly basic ligands, the Cu⁺-Fe(CO)₅ bond strength decreases what may contribute to the complex's instability in liquid SO₂ or in the presence of [SbF₆]⁻. These conclusions point at the key role of selection of proper anion and solvent in stabilization of these types of complexes.     

Synthesis and Structure of Acetonitrile Solvates of Copper(II) Monofluoroacetate and Silver(I) Trifluoroacetate, [Cu2(CH2FCOO)4· 2CH3CN](CH3CN) and Ag3(CF3COO)3(CH3CN)2

Compounds [Cu₂(CH₂FCOO)₄· 2CH₃CN](CH₃CN) (I) and Ag₃(CF₃COO)₃(CH₃CN)₂(II) were synthesized and studied by X-ray structural analysis. Crystals Iare monoclinic, space group C2/c, a= 27.854(6), b= 8.286(2), c= 19.428(4) Å, = 106.82(3)°, V= 4292(2) ų, Z= 8, R ₁= 0.0426; crystals IIare triclinic, space group , a= 8.676(2), b= 9.819(2), c= 11.961(2) Å, = 95.27(3), = 109.59(3)°, = 104.60(3)°, V= 911.4(3) ų, Z= 2, R ₁= 0.0252. Structure Iis composed of the structural units (lanterns) typical of copper(II) carboxylates. The presence of an additional acetonitrile molecule noncoordinated by the copper atoms makes it possible to consider compound Ias a lattice clathrate. Structure IIhas no analogs among the silver carboxylates. It simultaneously contains silver atoms with coordination numbers varying from 2 to 4.     

Probing the Local Magnetic Structure of the [FeIII(Tp)(CN)3]− Building Block Via Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy,Polarized Neutron Diffraction,and First-Principle Calculations

The local magnetic structure in the [Fe^III(Tp)(CN)₃]⁻ building block was investigated by combining paramagnetic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (pNMR) spectroscopy and polarized neutron diffraction (PND) with first-principle calculations. The use of the pNMR and PND experimental techniques revealed the extension of spin-density from the metal to the ligands, as well as the different spin mechanisms that take place in the cyanido ligands: Spin-polarization on the carbon atoms and spin-delocalization on the nitrogen atoms. The results of our combined density functional theory (DFT) and multireference calculations were found in good agreement with the PND results and the experimental NMR chemical shifts. Moreover, the ab-initio calculations allowed us to connect the experimental spin-density map characterized by PND and the suggested distribution of the spin-density on the ligands observed by NMR spectroscopy. Interestingly, significant differences were observed between the pseudo-contact contributions of the chemical shifts obtained by theoretical calculations and the values derived from NMR spectroscopy using a simple point-dipole model. These discrepancies underline the limitation of the point-dipole model and the need for more elaborate approaches to break down the experimental pNMR chemical shifts into contact and pseudo-contact contributions.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of the Copper(Ⅱ) Complex [Cu4O4(phen)4(ClC6H4COO)2(H2O)2]·(H2O)3

The title complex of copper(Ⅱ) with m-chlorobenzoic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and copper perchlorate has been synthesized and characterized in the solvent mixture of water and methanol. Crystal data for this complex: triclinic, space group P, a = 1.06853(12), b = 1.30740(16), c = 1.49546(17) nm, α = 101.791(2), β = 103.413(2), γ = 105.815(2)o, V = 1.8736(4) nm3, Mr = 904.67, Dc = 1.604 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 924, μ = 1.34 mm-1, GOOF = 1.049, the final R = 0.0324 and wR = 0.0797. The structure analysis shows that a chair-like structure [Cu4O4] is defined by three quadrilaterals shaped by four copper and four oxygen atoms, and every copper ion is coordinated by three oxygen atoms from three water molecules and two nitrogen atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, giving a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The CV analysis results indicate that the electron transfer in the electrode reaction is quasi-reversible.

Complexation of N-Allyl Derivatives of Morpholinium with Copper(I) Halides: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [C4H8ON(C3H5)2]+[Cu4Cl5]–, [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr2]–, and [C4H8ONH(C3H5)]+[CuBr1.41Cl0.59]–

The compounds [C₄H₈ON(C₃H₅)₂]⁺[Cu₄Cl₅]^– (I), [C₄H₈ONH(C₃H₅)]⁺[CuBr₂]^– (II), and [C₄H₈ONH(C₃H₅)]⁺[CuBr_1.41Cl_0.59]^– (III) were prepared for the first time by ac electrochemical synthesis from mono- and di-N-allyl derivatives of morpholinium and copper(I) halides in ethanol solution and structurally characterized. In the structure of I π-complex, the centrosymmetric Cu₈Cl₁₀ fragments are associated into layers perpendicular to the b axis. The N,N"-diallylmorpholinium cation functions as a bridge, which coordinates two copper atom of the adjacent inorganic fragments by both allyl groups. The trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(I) atom, as well as the distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere of Cu(2), involves three chlorine atoms and the C=C bond, whereas the planar trigonal surrounding of the Cu(3) atom and trigonal-pyramidal surrounding of the Cu(4) atom involve only chlorine atoms. In the isostructural II and III σ-complexes, the edge-shared CuX₄ tetrahedra form the infinite copper-halide chains running along the a axis. The inorganic fragments and organic N-allylmorpholinium cations are united into the three-dimensional crystal structures by N–H···X and C–H···X (X = Cl, Br) hydrogen bonds.     

Effect of oxygen deficit on the state of iron atoms and57Fe Mössbauer spectral parameters in YBa2(Cu1−xFex)3O6.0 by the results ofX α -DV calculations

The electronic structure of the clusters [Fe^mO_n]^m–2n, which model local structure defects arising in doping the tetragonal phase of yttrium-barium ceramics with iron atoms, has been calculated using the X-discrete variation (DV) method. According to the results of calculations of the hyperfine magnetic field and the quadrupole splitting of⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra in YBa₂(Cu_1-xFe_x)₃O_6.0, the gamma resonance (GR) doublet with quadrupole splitting ||2 mm/s is most likely attributable to the Fe atoms localized in the Cu(1) position and having the valence 2+ and a dumbbell configuration of the nearest environment cluster.Institute of Solid State Chemistry, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.
