Das prismatische Te62+-Ion in der Struktur von Te6(NbOCl4)2

The Prismatic Te₆²⁺ Ion in the Structure of Te₆(NbOCl₄)₂ Te₆(NbOCl₄)₂ is obtained from Te, TeCl₄ and NbOCl₃ at 200°C. It crystallizes triclinic, space group P1 (a = 915,5(4) pm, b = 1655,3(6) pm, c = 3134,4(9) pm, α = 42,62(2)°, β = 117,12(6)°, γ = 138,24(8)°). The crystal structure analysis shows, that the structure is built of one-dimensional polymeric [NbOCl₄^?] chains in which the monomers are linked via linear O? Nb? O-bridges and from discrete Te₆²⁺ polycations that are also arranged in strands, but without significant interactions. The structure is closley related but not isotypic to the previously reported tungsten containing analogue Te₆(WOCl₄)₂ (monoclinic, P2₁/c). A comparison of the two structures shows that rotations of the cationic strands relative to the anionic strands lead to different cation-anion interactions.     

Darstellung,Kristallstrukturen, Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von [(Mo6Br)Y]2−; Ya  CN,NCS

Preparation, Crystal Structures, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of [(Mo₆Br )Y ]^2?; Y^a ? CN, NCS By treatment of [(Mo₆Br)Br^a₆]^2? with AgNO₃ in acetone and addition of KCN or KNCS the hexacyano and hexaisothiocyanato derivates [(Mo₆Br)Y]^2?, Y^a ? CN, NCS are formed. X-ray structure determinations of (Ph₄P)₂ [(Mo₆Br)(CN)^a₆]·4H₂ O ( 1 ) (triclinic, spacegroup P1, a = 11.63(3), b = 11.85(1), c = 14.23(5) Å, α = 71.8(1)°, β = 67.6(3)°, γ = 62.8(1)°, Z= 1) and (n-Bu₄N)₂[(Mo₆Br ⁱ₈)(NCS)^a₆] · 2Et₂O ( 2 ) (monoclinic, spacegroup P2₁/n, a = 11.483(3), b = 16.348(5), c = 20.059(6) Å, β= 95.44(3)°, Z = 2) have been performed. The via C coordinated cyano ligands of ( 1 ) reveal facial groups with (MoCN) angles of 168.0–171,5° and 174.1°–175.7°. In ( 2 ) the via N coordinated isothiocyanato groups at the apical positions show MoNC-angles of 164.4°, the equatorial angles are 172.7–173.5°. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the 10 K IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) cluster salts are assigned by normal coordinate analyses based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants are f_d(MoMo) = 1.41 (CN^a), 1.43 (NCS^a), f_d (MoBrⁱ) = 0.97 (CN^a), 0.96 (NCS^a), f_d(MoC) = 1.62, f_d(Mo-N) = 2.09 mdyne/Å.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und statistische Untersuchung zur Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6ICl)F]2−, n = 0–7, und Darstellung von (TBA)2[(Mo6I)F]

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆I Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0–7, and Preparation of (TBA)₂[(Mo₆I )F ] The octa-μ₃-iodo-hexafluoro-hexamolybdate(2?)ion [(Mo₆I)F]^2? is prepared for the first time. The system of the 21 innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆ICl)⁴⁺, n = 0–7 is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound I^a on tempering solid [(Mo₆Cl)I] at 400°C. Prolonged tempering leads to increasing average n values of the mixture, which is converted into the tetrabutylammonium salt (TBA)₂[(Mo₆ICl)F]. Using increments of chemical shifts and integral peak intensities the 54 ¹⁹F-nmr signals of the 21 species (compound n = 8 is absent) are assigned and confirmed by the 2 D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum. From the measured intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined and proves significant deviation from statistical occupation, revealing the preference of isomers with iodine atoms occupying edges of the innersphere cube and discrimination of those sharing diagonals of the faces. Moreover all compounds with n = 3 and 4 are present overaverage in comparison to the others.

Based on the molekular parameters of the X‐ray determination of 1 the vibrational spectra of the corresponding (n‐Bu₄N) salt of 1 are assigned by normal coordinate analysis.

The i.r. and Raman spectra show at 10 K almost constant frequencies of the (Mo₆Brⁱ₈) cluster vibrations, whereas all modes with X^a ligand contribution are characteristically shifted. The most important bands are assigned by polarization measurements and the force constants are derived from normal coordinate analysis. The ⁹⁵Mo nmr signals are shifted to lower field with increasing electronegativity of the X^a ligands. The fluorine compound shows a sharp ¹⁹F nmr singlet at ?184.5 ppm.

Chemistry and Structural Chemistry of Phosphides and Polyphosphides. 53. Preparation, Properties, and Vibrational Spectra of the Cage Anions P₁₁^3? and As₁₁^3? The Zintl-phases M₃X₁₁ (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs; X = P, As) are prepared from the elements or from M₃X₇ and X. The compounds undergo a first-order phase transition from the crystalline to the plastically crystalline state. Unit cell and space group of both modifications and the transition temperature T_c are determined. The vibrational spectra of the crystalline compounds and the Raman spectrum of the P₁₁^3? anion in en-solution as well are measured. The assignment of the frequencies is given, based on the 32-D₃ symmetry of the X₁₁^3? cage anion. Normal coordinate analysis is carried out in terms of Cartesian coordinates to avoid the problem of redundancies in using internal coordinates. The force constants [mdyn Å^?1] obtained for the characteristic bonds r, s, and t are: f = 1.34, f = 1.20, f = 1.08; f = 1.1, f = 0.91.

Vibrational Spectra and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ⁹²Mo, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ³⁵Cl, and ³⁷Cl Isotopomers of the Cluster Anions [(Mo₆X )Y ]^2?; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; Y^a = F, Cl, Br, I The tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salts of the octa-μ₃-halogeno-hexahalogeno-octahedro-hexamolybdate(2 –) anions [(Mo₆X)Y]^2?; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; Y^a = F, Cl, Br, I; have been synthesized using ⁹²Mo, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ³⁵Cl, and ³⁷Cl. The 10 K IR and Raman spectra reveal significant frequency shifts due to the isotopic labelling of the Mo₆ cage, the inner sphere halides X₈ⁱ or the outer sphere ligands Y, respectively. The normal coordinate analysis yields (Mo? Mo) valence force constants of about 1.3 to 1.5 mdyn/Å. For the μ₃-bonded halogenes Clⁱ and Brⁱ valence force constants of 1.1 resp. 1.0 mdyn/Å are calculated. The values for (Mo? Y^a) bonds are found in the usual halide range. The observed isotopic shifts are verified very well by the calculations, allowing detailed assignment of the IR and Raman spectra of these compounds for the first time.     

Zur Polymorphie von In5Br7

On the Polymorphism of In₅Br₇ The existence of two polymorphs of In₅Br₇ has been proved by single crystal structure determinations. In₅Br₇ (tP192) crystallizes with the tetragonal space group P4₁2₁2 and lattice parameters a_t = 1318.9(5) pm and c_t = 3723.8(9) pm (293 K). Concerning monoclinic In₅Br₇ (mC192), the centrosymmetric space group C2/c with lattice parameters a_m = 1867.3(4) pm, b_m=1867.0(5) pm, c_m = 1918.0(7) pm, and β_m = 103.96(2)° (293 K) has been confirmed. Both modifications of In₅Br₇ are built up from layers of the same type. These layers with a thickness of about 930 pm consist of structure fragments [InBr₂]⁴⁺ and [InBr₁₂]^4–. The anion is composed of two ethan‐like [InBr₆]^2– units, which contain In–In bonds. The stacking sequence of the layers with symmetry C 1 2 (1) differs for the two modifications of In₅Br₇. The tetragonal form is generated by applying a 4₁ screw axis; the monoclinic polymorph is formed by introducing inversion centers between the layers. The adequate name of In₅Br₇ = In[InBr₆]Br is triindium(I)‐hexabromodiindate(II)(In–In)‐bromide.

On the Crystal Structure of SmZrF₇ with an Appendix on EuSnF₇ and YSnF₇ SmZrF₇ again was obtained as colourless single crystals and investigated by X-ray methods: It crystallizes in space group P 2₁/c-C (Nr. 14; P 2₁/n) with a = 1 140.9(2) pm, b = 574.6(1) pm, c = 914,4(2) pm, β = 107.32(2)°, Z = 4 but not in space group P 2₁-C (Nr. 4) [1]. In addition EuSnF₇ and YSnF₇ are isotypic with the following lattice constants: EuSnF₇: a = 1 121.8(2) pm, b = 563.7(1) pm, c = 901.7(1) pm, β = 107.35(2)° with Z = 4; YSnF₇: a = 1 106.7(2) pm, b = 556.4(1) pm, c = 884.7(1) pm, β = 107.51(1)° and Z = 4 (Powder data).     

Kristallstruktur und Eigenschaften von Calcium- und Strontiumhexathiodiphosphat(IV), Ca2P2S6 und Sr2P2S6, mit einem Beitrag zu Ca5P8 und Pb2P2S6

Crystal Structure and Properties of Calcium and Strontium Hexathiodiphosphate(IV), Ca₂P₂S₆ and Sr₂P₂S₆, with a Contribution on Ca₅P₈ and Pb₂P₂S₆ Ca₂P₂S₆ and Sr₂P₂S₆ were prepared from metal and a mixture of red phosphorus and sulfur (molar ratio M:P:S = 1:1:3) in 2 corundum crucibles inserted in quartz ampullae under vacuum (20 d 900°C). The compounds were obtained as colourless, crystalline powders containing single crystals. They crystallize in the Sn₂P₂S₆ (high temperature form) type structure (P2₁/c, Z = 2): Ca₂P₂S₆ a = 653.2(2)pm, b = 728.1(2)pm, c = 1110.1(4)pm, β = 124.00(4)°, d = 2.50(2); Sr₂P₂S₆ a = 664.3(2)pm, b = 755.7(3)pm, c = 1139.7(3)pm, β = 124.07(2)°, d = 2.97(2). The anions P₂S have staggered confirmation and are arranged with the motif of a cubic close-packing. Sr²⁺ is coordinated by 8S which form a twofold face-capped trigonal prism and belong to 4P₂S. Structure calculations clearly show that Pb₂P₂S₆ also crystallizes in P2₁/c and not in Pc [1]. Also, Raman- and IR-spectra of Ca₅P₈ were recorded at 20°C. The stretching vibrations of P were assigned in analogy to those of P₂S in alkaline earth hexathiodiphosphates(IV). The range of their frequencies (480 to 340 cm^?1) is essentially smaller and shifted to smaller values compared with P₂S in Ca₂P₂S₆ and Sr₂P₂S₆ (620 to 390 cm^?1). The symmetry of P is not D_3d but C_2h as in the case of P₂S.     

CuClSe1.53Te0.47 and CuClSe0.56Te1.44: Structural and Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigations on Copper(I) Chalcogen Chlorides

CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47 and CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44 are obtained from the reaction of CuCl, Se, and Te in stoichiometric amounts. Both copper(I) selenium tellurium chlorides are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n (no. 14) with lattice constants of a = 7.837(1) Å, b = 4.699(1) Å, c = 10.762(2) Å, β = 104.37(2)°, V = 383.9(1) ų (CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47), and a = 8.074(1) Å, b = 4.830(1) Å, c = 10.973(1) Å, β = 103.87(2)°, V = 415.5(1) ų (CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44), and Z = 4. A common feature of these isostructural compounds are heteroatomic strands [YY'] (Y, Y' = chalcogen). These strands are running along [010] and are connected to layers by chains [CuCl]. Vibrational spectra of CuClSe_1.53Te_0.47, CuClSe_0.56Te_1.44, CuXTe₂ and CuX'Se₂ (X = Cl, Br, I; X' = Cl, Br) are analysed with respect to the bonding relations of the chalcogen chains. Modes derived from IR and Raman spectra are assigned by correlation with tri gonal Se and related copper(I) chalcogen halides. Both, X‐ray structural data and an analysis of the chalcogen vibrational modes in IR and Raman spectra, lead to a detailed insight into the ordering phenomena of the chalcogen chains in this type of copper(I) chalcogen halides.

Bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide des Lithiums und Zinks – Synthese sowie NMR-spektroskopische,strukturelle und quantenchemische Untersuchungen

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphanes. XXXV. Bis[ N -(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanides of Lithium and Zinc – Syntheses as well as NMR Spectroscopic, Structural, and Quantumchemical Studies From the reaction of bis(tetrahydrofuran)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide with two equivalents of benzonitrile in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, the yellow dme complex ( 2 a ) of lithium bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide ( 2 ) was obtained in 69% yield. However, the intermediate {1-[N-lithium-N-(trimethylsilyl)amido]benzylidene}trimethylsilylphosphane ( 1 ), formed by an analogous 1 : 1 addition in diethyl ether, turned out to be unstable and as a consequence could be characterized by nmr spectroscopic methods only; attempts to isolate the compound failed, but small amounts of the neutral complex 2 b , with the ligands benzonitrile and tetrahydrofuran coordinated to lithium, precipitated. The reaction of compound 2 with zinc(II) chloride in diethyl ether gives the orange-red spiro-complex zinc bis{bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide} ( 3 ); this complex is also formed from bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphane ( 4 ), easily amenable by a lithium hydrogen exchange of 2 a with trifluoroacetic acid [18], and zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide]. As derived from nmr spectroscopic studies and x-ray structure determinations, compounds 2 a {δ³¹P +63.3 ppm; P2₁/n; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.067}, 2 b {δ³¹P +63.3 ppm; P2₁/c; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.063}, 3 {δ³¹P +58.2 ppm; C2/c; Z = 4; R₁ = 0.037} and 4 {δ³¹P +58.1 ppm [18]} exist as cyclic 3-imino-2λ³σ²-phosphapropenylamides and -propenylamine, respectively, in solution as well as in the solid state. Unlike hydrogen derivative 4 the bis[N-(trimethylsilyl)iminobenzoyl]phosphanide fragments N,N′-coordinating either a lithium or a zinc cation are characterized by almost completely equalized bond lengths; typical mean distances and angles are: PC 180.3 and 178.7; CN 130.5 and 131.8; N–Si 175.3 and 179.3; N–Li 202.3; N–Zn 203.5 pm; CPC 108.8° and 110.5°; PCN 130.9° and 132.9°; CN–Li 113.0°, CN–Zn 117.4°; N–Li–N 104.6°; N–Zn–N 108.8°. Alterations in the shape of the six membered chelate rings, caused by an exchange of the 3-imino-2λ³σ²-phosphapropenylamide or related 2λ³σ²-phospha-1,3-dionate units for the corresponding phosphorus free ligands, are discussed in detail. The results of quantumchemical DFT-B3LYP calculations coincide very well with the experimentally obtained findings.     

Zur Insertion in die Lanthanoid–Kohlenstoffbindung Synthese und Struktur von [CpSm(C6H5CH2NNO)]2 und [K(18-Krone-6)CpYb(NCS)2]∞

On the Insertion into the Lanthanide–Carbon Bond. Synthesis and Structure of [Cp Sm(C₆H₅CH₂NNO)]₂ and [K(18-crown-6)Cp Yb(NCS)₂]_∞ The compound [CpSm(CH₂C₆H₅)(thf)] was investigated, regarding its reactions with small molecules. The main subject was to detect an insertion into the Ln–C bond. With N₂O an insertion reaction is observed, yielding the dimer [CpSm(C₆H₅CH₂NNO)]₂ ( 1 ). The structural data of 1 was collected by a single crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis. (Space group P 1, Z = 1, a = 982.8(2) pm, b = 1052.2(2) pm, c = 1383.8(3) pm, α = 89.29(3)°, β = 73.64(3)°, γ = 66.41(3)°). In the dimer, the two Samarium ions are linked via an (η¹ : η²) bridge by two benzyl diazotato ligands. A nearly planar six-membered central Sm₂N₂O₂-ring is formend. Two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands complete the coordination sphere of each Samarium ion, which are thus surrounded by four ligands each and have a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. An insertion of a SCN^– fragment in the Ln–C bond could not be observed. The substitution of the benzyl ligand leads to a polymeric chain structure. The new compound [K(18-crown-6)CpYb(NCS)₂]_∞ 2 contains a tetrahedrally coordinated Yb(III)-ion. (Space group P2₁/n}, Z = 4, a = 1640.6(3) pm, b = 1482.2(3) pm, c = 1674.5(3) pm, β = 102.82(1)°).

X-ray structure determinations of single crystals of ( 1 ) (monoclinic, space group P 2₁/n, a = 13.035(2), b = 18.2640(14), c = 16.636(3) Å, β = 112.776(14)°, Z = 4) and ( 2 ) (monoclinic, space group P 2₁/c, a = 13.23(5), b = 18.35(2), c = 16.65(2) Å, β = 112.9(5)°, Z = 4) result in mean bond distances Os–P = 2.413, Os–As = 2.483, Os–Br = 2.488 and Os–O = 2.037 Å. The vibrational spectra (10 K) exhibit the inner ligand vibrations of the acac, PPh₃ and AsPh₃ groups with nearly constant frequencies and the stretching vibrations of OsP at 499–522, of OsAs at 330–339, of OsBr at 213–214 and of OsO in the range 460–694 cm^–1.
