New Mixed-Valent Molybdenum Monophosphates with the KMo3P2O14 structure

New mixed valent molybdenum monophosphates AMo₃P₂O₁₄ have been synthesized for A = Ag, Rb, Na, Sr. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of two of them (A = Ag, Sr) shows that they belong to the layer structure type KMo₃P₂O₁₄. Their structure consists of [Mo₃P₂O₁₄]_∞ layers involving MoO₆ octahedra and MoO₅ bipyramids, interleaved with A cations forming bicapped trigonal prisms AO₈. Bond valence calculations show a localisation of the Mo^V and Mo^VI species according to the formula A¹Mo^V_oct1Mo^VI_oct2Mo^VI_bipyP₂O₁₄ for A = Ag, Na and SrMo^V_oct1Mo^V_oct2Mo^VI_bipyP₂O₁₄. A comparison between the different Mo^V? Mo^VI phosphates is made.     

Kristallstrukturen der Fluorochloroplatinate(IV) cis-[(C5H5N)2CH2][PtF4Cl2], trans-[(C5H5N)2CH2][PtF4Cl2] · H2O und [(C5H5N)2CH2][PtF5Cl]

Crystal Structures of the Fluorochloroplatinates(IV) cis-[(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₄Cl₂], trans-[(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₄Cl₂] · H₂O, and [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₅Cl] The complex ions cis-[PtF₄Cl₂]^2?, trans-[PtF₄Cl₂]^2? and [PtF₅Cl]^2? have been synthesized by stereoselective ligand exchange reactions utilizing the trans effect and are separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. These anions form stable AB-type salts with the doubly charged cation dipyridiniomethane, [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂]²⁺. X-ray structure determinations on single crystals of cis-[(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₄Cl₂] ( 1 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with a = 10.379(10), b = 9.635(2), c = 13.738(2) Å, β = 99.142(10)°, Z = 4), trans-[(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₄Cl₂] · H₂O ( 2 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.757(4), b = 10.059(7), c = 10.408(6) Å, α = 82.49(5), β = 68.92(4), γ = 75.46(4)°, Z = 2) and [(C₅H₅N)₂CH₂][PtF₅Cl] ( 3 ) (orthorhombic, space group Pnma with a = 10.394(3), b = 13.320(2), c = 9.2694(10) Å, Z = 4), reveal the perfect ordering of the anion sublattice. The stronger trans influence of Cl compared with F is observed in asymmetric axes $ {\rm F}^ \bullet $? Pt? Cl′. The bond lengths Pt? $ {\rm F}^ \bullet $ are 0.026 Å (1.4%) longer and the Pt? Cl′ distances are 0.078 Å (3,3%) shorter in comparison with those of symmetrically coordinated axes. The weakening of the Pt? $ {\rm F}^ \bullet $ bond and the strengthening of the Pt? Cl′ bond is better recognizable from shifts of the stretching vibrations by 8% to lower and by 13% to higher frequencies, respectively. Correspondingly, the valence force constants are found to be 15% lower and 22% higher. The trans influence is observed most distinctly in the ¹⁹F-nmr spectra exhibiting the coupling constant ¹J($ {\rm F}^ \bullet $Pt) to be 29% smaller than ¹J(FPt).     

Quecksilber(II)‐chlorid‐ und ‐iodid‐Komplexe von Dithia‐ und Tetrathiakronenethern

Mercury(II) Chloride and Iodide Complexes of Dithia‐ and Tetrathiacrown Ethers The complexes [(HgCl₂)₂((ch)₂30S₄O₆)] ( 1 ), [HgCl₂(mn21S₂O₅)] ( 2 ), [HgCl₂(ch18S₂O₄)] ( 3 ) and [HgI(meb12S₂O₂)]₂[Hg₂I₆] ( 4 ) have been synthesized, characterized and their crystal structures were determined. In [(HgCl₂)₂((ch)₂30S₄O₆)] two HgCl₂ units are discretely bonded within the ligand cavity of the 30‐membered dichinoxaline‐tetrathia‐30‐crown‐10 ((ch)₂30S₄O₆) forming a binuclear complex. HgCl₂ forms 1 : 1 “in‐cavity” complexes with the 21‐membered maleonitrile‐dithia‐21‐crown‐7 (mn21S₂O₅) ligand and the 18‐membered chinoxaline‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 (ch18S₂O₄) ligand, respectively. The 12‐membered 4‐methyl‐benzo‐dithia‐12‐crown‐4 (meb12S₂O₂) ligand gave with two equivalents HgI₂ the compound [HgI(meb12S₂O₂)]₂[Hg₂I₆]. In the cation [HgI(meb12S₂O₂)]⁺ meb12S₂O₂ forms with the cation HgI⁺ a half‐sandwich complex.     

A facile synthesis of solid-emissive fluorescent dyes: dialkylbenzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]furan-6-one-type fluorophores with strong blue and green fluorescence emission properties

A new type of organic fluorophores, dialkylbenzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]furan-6-one-type fluorophores, exhibiting strong blue and green emission in the solid state has been easily synthesized by an one-step reaction. The X-ray crystal structure demonstrated that the structural form with a chair-shape with the sterical hindered dialkyl substituents and the 9-dibutylamino group prevents the fluorophores from forming short intermolecular contacts and produces intense solid-state fluorescence emission.     

Oxidation of crystal violet and malachite green in aqueous solutions — a kinetic spectrophotometric study

The reactions of two triphenyl methane (TPM) dyes—crystal violet (CV⁺) and malachite green (MG⁺)—with N₃^• and OH^• radicals were studied by pulse radiolytic kinetic spectrophotometry. The rate constants for the reaction of the cationic dyes (D⁺) with N₃^• are (9.0±0.6)×10⁹ and (3.0±0.2)×10⁹ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ respectively and those for the reaction with OH^• are obtained as (8.0±0.6)×10⁹ and (1.1±0.1)×10⁹ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ respectively. The transient spectra resulting from the oxidation of the dyes were characterized. The time-resolved spectra indicate that the reaction with OH^• radicals initially generates an adduct which subsequently dissociates to form the radical dication D^•2+. The D^•2+ species decay by further reaction with the parent dye.

Both of the two distinct chloride ions are stabilized by six hydrogen bonds through distorted trigonal prismatic arrangements of hydrogen atoms to yield a supramolecular structure.

Starting from the para‐phenylenediamine derivative HN(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐NH(SiMe₃), a lithiation and subsequent borylation give [(MeO)₂B]N(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐N(SiMe₃)[B(OMe)₂] ( 1 ), the hydridation of which yields Li₂[(H₃B)N(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐N(SiMe₃)(BH₃)] ( 2 ).
