[N,N′‐Bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)acenaphthene‐1,2‐diimine‐1κ2N,N′]heptacarbonyl‐1κC,2κ3C,3κ3C‐di‐μ3‐tellurido‐triiiron(II)(2 Fe—Fe)

The sterically hindered title complex, [Fe₃Te₂(C₃₆H₄₀N₂)(CO)₇], was obtained by substitution of two carbonyl groups in the [Fe₃(μ₃‐Te)₂(CO)₉] cluster by the bulky redox‐active N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)acenaphthene‐1,2‐diimine (dpp‐BIAN) ligand. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules of the same geometry. The C=N bond lengths in dpp‐BIAN indicate a rather low level of electron transfer from the cluster core to the dpp‐BIAN ligand.     

The thermodynamic stability of inclusion compounds of Zinc(II) and Nickel(II) coordination polymers with chlorobenzene as a guest: The determination of guest vapor pressure by the tensimetric method

The static membrane method was used to study the temperature dependences of equilibrium guest vapor pressure over inclusion compounds of two coordination polymers with chlorobenzene, [M(bipy)(DBM)₂] · 2C₆H₅Cl, where M = M(II) = Zn and Ni, bipy = 4,4′-dipyridyl, and DBM = C₆H₅COCHCOC₆H ₅ ^? is the dibenzoylmethanate anion. The data obtained were used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of dissociation of these compounds. The regions of their existence and the stoichiometry and character of phase transitions were determined by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses.
