DFT investigation of the tri(amino)amine N(NH(2))(3)(2+) and the tri(azido)amine N(N(3))(3)(2+) dications and related mixed amino(azido)ammonium ions (N(3))(x)N(NH(2))(4-x)(+) (x = 0-4)(1)

Structures of the tri(amino)amine N(NH(2))(3)(2+) and the tri(azido)amine N(N(3))(3)(2+) dications were calculated at the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311+G level. The tri(amino)amine dication (NH(2))(3)N(2+) (1) was found to be highly resonance stabilized with a high kinetic barrier for deprotonation. The structures of diamino(azido)amine dication (NH(2))(2)N(N(3))(2+) (2), amino(diazido)amine dication (NH(2))N(N(3))(2)(2+) (3), and tri(azido)amine dication (N(3))(3)N(2+) (4) were also found to be highly resonance stabilized. The structures and energetics of the related mixed amino(azido)ammonium ions (N(3))(x)N(NH(2))(4-x)(+) (x = 0-4) were also calculated.     

Quasiclassical trajectory study of the reaction NH(X~3∑~-)+H→N(~4S)+H_2

The dynamics of the NH + H→N+H2 reaction has been investigated by means of the 3D quasiclassical trajectory approach by using the LEPS potential energy surface.The calculated rate coefficient is in good agreement with the experimental value.The reaction was found to occur via a direct channel.The product H2 has a cold excitation of rotational state,but has a reverse distribution of the vibrational state with a peak at v=1.Based on the potential energy surface and the trajectory analysis,the reaction mechanism has been explained successfully.     

Azidokomplexe von Vanadium(IV) und Vanadium(V): (Ph4P)2[VOCl2(μ‐N3)]2 und (Ph4P)2[VOCl(μ‐N3)(N3)2]2

Azido Complexes of Vanadium(IV) and Vanadium(V): (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂ and (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂ ( 1 ) was prepared by reaction of (Ph₄P)[VO₂Cl₂] with trimethylsilylazide in the molar ratio 1:2 in dichloromethane solution to give dark green, moisture sensitive, non‐explosive single crystals. The reaction is accompanied by the formation of the dark blue side‐product (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ ( 2a ), which can be obtained as the main product by application of a large excess of Me₃SiN₃. Dark blue needles of 2a crystallize spontaneously from the CH₂Cl₂ solution within one hour at 4 °C. After standing at 4 °C under its mother liquid within 24 hours a first‐order phase transition of 2a occurs forming dark blue prismatic single crystals of 2b . According to single crystal X‐ray structure determinations, 2a and 2b crystallize in the same type of space group , however, with different lattice dimensions. The vanadium(IV) complex 1 is characterized by X‐ray structure determination and by vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman) as well as by EPR spectroscopy, whereas 2b is characterized by IR spectroscopy. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 1009.5(1), b = 1226.6(2), c = 1943.0(2) pm, β = 98.42(1)°, R₁ = 0.0672. The complex anion forms centrosymmetric units with V₂N₂‐four‐membered rings with a V···V distance of 335.6(1) pm and coordination number five on the vanadium(IV) atoms. 2a : Space group , Z = 1, a = 1089.0(2), b = 1097.1(2), c = 1310.1(2) pm, α = 92.99(1)°, β = 106.12(2)°, γ = 117.05(2)°, V = 1309.8(4) ų, d_calc. = 1.440 g·cm^?3, R₁ = 0.0384. The complex anion forms centrosymmetric units of symmetry C_i with V₂N₂ four‐membered rings and VN bond lengths of 200.4(3) and 234.4(2) pm, respectively. The non‐bonding V···V distance amounts to 356.2(1) pm. 2b : Space group , Z = 1, a = 1037.3(2), b = 1157.6(2), c = 1177.2(2) pm, α = 98.48(2)°, ° = 103.82(2)°, γ = 106.33(2)°, V = 1281.8(4) ų, d_calc. = 1.471 g·cm^?3, R₁ = 0.0724. The structure of the complex anion is similar to the anion of 2a with VN bond lengths of the four‐membered V₂N₂ ring of 203.3(4) and 235.2(4) pm, respectively, and a non‐bonding V···V distance of 357.5(1) pm.

First Characterization of an Extended Ammonium‐Ammonia Complex [{NH4(NH3)4}+(μ‐NH3)2] in the Crystal Structure of [NH4(NH3)4][Co(C2B9H11)2] · 2 NH3

The compound [NH₄(NH₃)₄][Co(C₂B₉H₁₁)₂] · 2 NH₃ ( 1 ) was prepared by the reaction of Na[Co(C₂B₉H₁₁)₂] with a proton‐charged ion‐exchange resin in liquid ammonia.

The anionic part of the structure consists of [Co(C₂B₉H₁₁)₂]^‐ complexes, which are connected via C‐H···H‐B dihydrogen bonds. Furthermore, 1 contains an infinite equation/tex2gif-stack-2.gif[{NH₄(NH₃)₄}⁺(μ‐NH₃)₂] cationic chain, which is formed by [NH₄(NH₃)₄]⁺ ions linked by two ammonia molecules. The N‐H···N hydrogen bonds range from 1.92 to 2.71Å (DHA = Donor···Acceptor angles: 136‐176°). Additional N‐H···H‐B dihydrogen bonds are observed (H···H: 2.3‐2.4Å).

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.

The title complexes (1, X = F;2, X = C 1; 3, X = Br and isomorphous with2; 4, X = I) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data, MoKα radiation:1, space groupCc,Z =4,a = 12.017(3),b = 14.263(5),c = 17.210(7) Å,β = 103.06(2)°, andR _F =0.053 for 2044 observed data;2, space groupCc,Z = 4,a = 12.817(3),b = 11.072(2),c = 16.781(5) Å,β =90.74(2)°,R _F = 0.044 for 2249 data;3,a = 12.873(4),b = 11. 119(2),c = 16.957(2) Å,β = 89.11(2)°,R _F = 0.049 for 2059 data;4, space groupP2₁/n,Z = 4,a = 8.858(2),b = 14.358(3),c = 15.379(3) Å,β = 93.88(1)°,R _F = 0.068 for 3119 data. In all four structures each thiourea molecule interacts with adjacent thiourea molecules via N-H ... S hydrogen bonds to give a ribbon-like arrangement, and also forms a pair of ‘chelating’ N-H ... X hydrogen bonds with a halide ion, resulting in an anionic framework (in1–3) or composite ribbon (in4) as a component in the crystal packing. The measured ranges of N... X distances are: 2.819(5)-2.994(7) Å for1, 3.252(3)-3.291(3)Å for 2, 3.353(6)-3.459(6)Å for3, and 3.564(5)-3.680(5) Å for 4.     

An A‐Site Mixed‐Ammonium Solid Solution Perovskite Series of [(NH2NH3)x(CH3NH3)1−x][Mn(HCOO)3] (x=1.00–0.67)

The A‐site mixed‐ammonium solid solutions of metal–organic perovskites [(NH₂NH₃)_x(CH₃NH₃)_1?x][Mn(HCOO)₃] (x=1.00–0.67) exhibit para‐ to ferroelectric diffuse phase transitions with lowered transition temperatures from x=1.00 to 0.67. These properties are due to the decreased framework distortion and polarization in their low temperature ferroelectric phases caused by the increased CH₃NH₃⁺ concentration.     

ChemInform Abstract: μ‐Oxido‐bis(pentammine Iron(III))‐chloride‐ammonia(1/8), [Fe2(μ—O)(NH3)10] Cl4·8NH3.

Vibrational analysis of Ag3(PO2NH)3, Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O, Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O,

FT IR and FT Raman spectra of Ag3(PO2NH), (Compound 1), Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound II), Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O (Compound III), [C(NH2)3]3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound IV) and (NH4)4(PO2NH)4 x 4H2O (Compound V) are recorded and analyzed on the basis of the anions, cations and water molecules present in each of them. The PO2NH- anion ring in compound I is distorted due to the influence of Ag+ cation. Wide variation in the hydrogen bond lengths in compound III is indicated by the splitting of the v2 and v3 modes of vibration of water molecules. The NH4 ion in compound V occupies lower site symmetry and exhibits hindered rotation in the lattice. The correlations between the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of P-N-P bridge and the P-N-P bond angle have also been discussed.
