A 2‐D 3d–4f Heterometallic Compound: Hydrothermal Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Properties

A novel two‐dimensional 3d–4f heterometallic inorganic compound with the formula [Cu^II₃Gd^III(μ₃‐OH)₆(μ₃‐SH)(SO₄)(H₂O)₃] ( 1 ) was synthesized by treating gadolinium nitrate, copper chloride and DTSA under hydrothermal conditions. The structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography. The crystal is of orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a = 6.63090(1) Å, b = 11.3145(3) Å, c = 15.7869(3) Å, Cu₃GdH₁₃O₁₃S₂, M = 633.09, Z =4, V = 1184.42(4) ų, F(000) = 1200, R₁ = 0.0244 and ωR = 0.0522. The solid‐state dc magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between the paramagnetic metal center ions.     

Calixarenes as platforms for the construction of multimetallic complexes

This review article covers the use of calix[n]arenes (n = 4−6) in building up multi-metal species based on group 1 or 2 ions and early transition metal ions, through synergistic metal-O and metal?π interactions, depending on the conformation of the calixarenes and the nature of the group 1 or 2 ions. Recent advances on metal alkyl/cyclopentadienyl complexes are also discussed, along with future prospects on the use of calixarenes in general in building up multi-metal complexes in a controlled way.     

Heterometallatom-Koordinationsverbindungen Re2(μ-PPh2)2[mer-(CO)3]2-trans-[InX2(H2O)]2 und neue halogenhaltige drei- und vierkernige Rheniumcluster aus Reaktionen zwischen Re2[μ-PPh2)2(CO)8] und InX3 (X = Cl,Br, I)

Heterometallic Coordination Compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer-(CO)₃]₂-trans-[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ and New Halogene Containing Three- and Four-Nuclear Rhenium Clusters from Reactions between Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) In sealed glass tubes equimolar amounts of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) were reacted in the presence of xylene at 220°C to two types of products. The first type comprised the heterometallic coordination compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₆[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) (yield 60%), and the second halogene containing rhenium complexes Re₃(μ₃-H)(μ₃-X)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ (unsaturated three-membered metal ring with 46 VE) and Re₄(μ-H)(μ-X)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ and additionally those substances as cis-IRe(CO)₄(PPh₂H), Re₂(μ-PPh₂)(μ-X)(CO)₈ (X = Cl, Br), Re₂(μ-I)₂[μ-(PPh₂)₂O](CO)₆ and Re₄(μ-Cl)₂(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ (four-membered metal ring with 66 VE with three Re? Re bonds) which have been observed in one or two of the three reaction systems. A proposal of the reaction course is discussed. The single X-ray analysis of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer(CO)₃]₂-trans[InI₂(H₂O)]₂ · 2 Me₂CO shows for the two fold phosphido bridged dirhenium molecular fragment with 34 VE a Re? Re bond of 294.6(1) pm. From two possible transpositions of both In? Re bond vectors, the one found advantageously has sterical reasons. The average In? Re single bond length is 271.1(1) pm. The corresponding determination of the unsaturated three-membered ring compound Re₃(μ₃-H) (μ₃-Cl)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ showed three Re? Re bond lenghts of comparable size, of which the mean value of 281.9(1) pm was significantly shortened by π electron delocalization effect compared to that of a saturated phosphido bridged three-membered rhenium ring compound. As it was recognized by further comparison, the structural data of the common molecular fragments in the three examined three-membered rhenium ring clusters (X = Cl, Br, I) are not dependent on the different kind of halogeno ligand atoms. Finally, the crystal structure determination of the substance Re₄(μ-H)(μ-Br)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ shows the presence of square-pyramidal Re₄(μ₄-P) atomic arrangement, of which the planar basic plane has a sequence of up- and downwards orientated four diphenylphosphido bridging groups. The four measured Re? Re single bond lengths (mean value 302.7(3) pm change with the different kind of bridging atoms. The structural features observed are compared with those of a corresponding iodine derivative.     

Aurated tungsten-triosmium cluster compounds. Synthesis and characterization ofLWOs3(CO)12(AuPPh3) and related hydrogenation productsLWOs3(CO)11(μ-H)2(AuPPh3),L = C5 H5 and C5 Me5

Two heterometallic compoundsLWOs₃(CO)₁₂(AuPPh₃),L = Cp (6);L = Cp* (7), were prepared byin-situ generation of clusters [LWOs₃(CO)₁₂][PPh₄] from Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂ and [LW(CO)₃][PPh₄], followed by addition of Ph₃ PAuCl. These derivatives possess a tetrahedral Os₃W core in which the AuPPh₃ unit bridges an Os-Os edge and the unique bridging CO ligand spans the opposite Os-W edge. Crystal data for6: space group P;a = 9.328(3),b = 13.745(3),c = 16.231(3) Á, = 115.00(2), = 97.27(2), = 90.17(2)°,Z = 2; finalR _F = 0 045,R _W = 0.044 for 4049 reflections withI > 2(I). Crystal data for7: space group P2₁/n;a = 9.775(2),b = 17.106(4),c = 25.074(3) Á, = 91.10(1)°,Z = 4; finalR _F = 0 035,R _W = 0.028 for 4196 reflections with I > 2(I). Hydrogenation of6 and7 afforded the respective dihydride complexesLWOs₃(CO)₁₁(-H)₂(AuPPh₃), (8)L = Cp; (9),L = Cp* in moderate yields. Their dynamic processes in solution were also established by¹H,¹³C and,³¹P NMR spectroscopies.     

Heterometallation of Photoluminescent Silver(I) Sulfide Nanoclusters Protected by Octahedral Iridium(III) Thiolates

The recently-increasing interest in coinage metal clusters stems from their photophysical properties, which are controlled via heterometallation. Herein, we report homometallic Ag^I₄₆S₁₃ clusters protected by octahedral fac-[Ir(aet)₃] (aet=2-aminoethanethiolate) molecules and their conversion to heterometallic Ag^I₄₃M^I₃S₁₃ (M=Cu, Au) clusters. The reactions of fac-[Ir(aet)₃] with Ag⁺ and penicillamine produced [Ag₄₆S₁₃{Ir(aet)₃}₁₄]²⁰⁺ ([ 1 ]²⁰⁺), where a spherical Ag^I₄₆S₁₃ cluster is covered by fac-[Ir(aet)₃] octahedra through thiolato bridges. [ 1 ]²⁰⁺ was converted to [Ag₄₃M₃S₁₃{Ir(aet)₃}₁₄]²⁰⁺ ([ 1^M ]²⁰⁺) with an Ag^I₄₃M^I₃S₁₃ cluster by treatment with M⁺, retaining its overall structure. [ 1 ]²⁰⁺ was photoluminescent and had an emission band ca. 690 nm that originated from an S-to-Ag charge transfer. While [ 1^Cu ]²⁰⁺ showed an emission band with a slightly higher energy of ca. 650 nm and a lower quantum yield, the emission band for [ 1^Au ]²⁰⁺ shifted to a much higher energy of ca. 590 nm with an enhanced quantum yield.     

Mn(III) Hexafluoroacetylacetonate as an Oxidative Agent in the Synthesis of Heterobimetallic <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-Diketonates

New synthetic approach for the preparation of heterometallic β-diketonates has been developed. Three manganese-containing diketonates, InMn(hfac)₃ (1), CdMn₂(hfac)₆ (2), and Hg₂Mn₂(hfac)₆ (3), have been isolated in quantitative yields by employing the solid state redox reaction of Mn(hfac)₃ with transition and main group metals. The heterometallic molecules are built on Lewis acid–base interactions between diketonate oxygens of the [Mn(hfac)₃]⁻ groups and “naked” metal centers that appear in the form of In⁺, Cd²⁺, and Hg₂²⁺ cations. Compounds 1–3 have been shown to retain a heterometallic structure upon sublimation–deposition procedure as well as in solutions of non-coordinating solvents.     

Syntheses and Structures of Two Coordination Polymers Containing Macrocyclic Oxamide and Isophthalic Acid Derivatives

Two novel coordination polymers [Cd(NiL)(aipt)](1) and [Mn(nipt)(NiL)₂]稨₂O(2)(NiL, H₂L=2,3-dioxo- 5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien, H₂aipt=5-aminoisophthalic acid, H₂nipt=5-nitroisoph- thalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 2 consist of different 1D chains including both oxamide and 5-aminoisophthalate or 5-nitroisophthalic bridge. And all these chains were further interlinked via hydrogen bonds, resulting in a 2D architecture in compounds 1 and 2.     

Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic activity of heterometallic ion-pair Ni/Mn and Ni/Zn complexes

Two new heterometallic compounds, [Ni(bpy)₃][Mn(NCO)₄]·H₂O (1) and [Ni(phen)₃]₂[Zn(NCO)₄]₂·4DMSO·H₂O (2) [bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine and phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline], have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of 1 and 2 were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cationic moieties of [Ni(bpy)₃]²⁺ in 1 and [Ni(phen)₃]²⁺ in 2 show octahedral environments around Ni(II), whereas the anionic groups of [Mn(NCO)₄]^2? in 1 and [Zn(NCO)₄]^2? in 2 exhibit tetrahedral geometry around the Mn(II) and Zn(II), respectively. Both compounds are catalysts in the H/D exchange of salicylaldehyde in DMSO-d₆ which takes place under mild conditions and short reaction time.     

[M(dipicH2)(H2O)3], M = Ni,Cu, Zn (dipicH2 = dipicolinic acid) – A combined crystallographic,spectroscopic and computational study

Cationic metal complexes of dipicolinic acid (dipicH₂) are stabilized by [Ce(dipic)₃]²⁻ ions in the three isomorphous crystals [M(dipicH₂)(OH₂)₃][Ce(dipic)₃] · 3H₂O (M = Ni, 1; Cu, 2; Zn, 3). Magnetic dilution provided by the bulky anions leads to well-resolved EPR spectra in polycrystalline samples of 2. The cations have 4+2 coordination, the carbonyl atom of the carboxylic acid groups coordinating weakly from trans positions. In the case of 2 this steric distortion is augmented by Jahn–Teller distortion. All the three structures are satisfactorily modelled by calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The switch of the Jahn–Teller axis upon deprotonation of the complex, leading to the neutral species Cu(dipic)(H₂O)₃, is also reproduced by DFT. Electronic transition energies as well as the g-tensor component of the d⁹ complex obtained are in good agreement with experiment. However, the calculated hyperfine coupling constants are in error. DFT also fails to satisfactorily account for the electronic transition in the d⁸ ion in 1.
