The magnetic behaviour of [NnBu4]4[Ni16Pd16(CO)40]: an even-electron homoleptic carbonyl-metal cluster anion displaying a J = 2 ground state

The magnetic behaviour of the even-electron [Ni16Pd16(CO)40]4- cluster, in its [NnBu4]+ salt, has been investigated by magnetometry and muon spin rotation/relaxation (muSR) spectroscopy. The susceptibility measurements show an exceptionally high magnetic moment corresponding to a total spin value J=2. This suggests a Hund filling of a quadruplet ground state, quite unique in carbonyl-metal clusters. SQUID magnetometry shows a departure from the Curie-Weiss law, for T>150 K, and strong deviation from a Brillouin behaviour of the magnetisation curves. muSR spectroscopy in zero applied field shows a temperature independent decay of the muon spin polarisation, similar to that of a purely paramagnetic system. The observed muon spin repolarisation in a moderate external longitudinal field, however, invalidates this simple picture and suggests the presence of a local anisotropy field acting on the cluster's magnetic moment. A consistent interpretation of magnetometry and muSR results implies the occurrence of an additional interaction of the cluster spin with an effective crystalline field. The inclusion of this interaction in a model Hamiltonian allows us to successfully reproduce both the susceptibility and magnetisation data.

Topological analysis of some special graphs: III. Regular polyhedra

A regular polyhedron is isomorphic to a cluster on which every face has same number of bonds and every atom has an equal number of coordinating atoms. A general strategy for generating the eigenvectors and the eigenvalues of regular polyhedra is given. Not sign analyses are also performed on the eigenvectors of regular polyhedra. The results provide us a quick way to grasp the topological feature of the electronic structure of clusters having interesting topology.     

The synthesis and structural characterization of Os3(CO)8[Si(OMe)3][μ-PMe2(C6H4](μ-H)2: An unusual unsaturated triosmium cluster complex

The reaction of Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)[Si(OMe)₃](-H),1, with PMe₂Ph yielded the new complex Os₃(CO)₁₀(PMe₂Ph)[Si(OMe)₃](-H),2 by substitution of the MeCn ligand with the phosphine ligand. When heated to 125°C compound2 was decarbonylated and transformed into the new unsaturated cluster complex Os₃(CO)₈[-PMe₂(C₆H₄)][Si(OMe)₃](-H)₂,3 in 54% yield. Compound3 was characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, osmium bonds. The phenyl ring of the phosphine ligand has undergoneortho-metallation by a neighboring metal atom. A terminally coordinated Si(OMe)₃ ligand is coordinated to the third osmium atom. The cluster is unsaturated by the amount of 2 electrons, and there is an open coordination site on the siloxyl substituted osmium atom that is partially filled by a weak interaction with one of the -bonds of theortho-metalled phenyl ring. Complex3 reacts with CO at 1 atm to reform compound2 in 85% yield in 5 h at 40°C.

Octanuclear Rare-Earth Clusters

The polyoxo rare-earth core (Ln = Y, Gd, and Yb) has been synthesized from the appropriate rare-earth chloride hydrate and K₂Se and Se in dmf (dimethylformamide). The cluster core is ligated with a variety of polyselenido chains in addition to a number of dmf molecules. The structure of the Gd₈(dmf)₁₃(₄-O)(₃-OH)₁₂(Se₃)(Se₄)₂(Se₅)₂ cluster, 1, was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. It is similar to an Eu cluster previously characterized. Two new clusters, Yb₈(dmf)₁₁(₄-O)(₃-OH)₁₂(Se₄)₂(Se₅)₂Cl₂·dmf, 2, and Y₈(dmf)₁₂(₄-O)(₃-OH)₁₂(Se₄)₄Cl₂·6 dmf, 3, have also been synthesized and characterized. Clusters 2 and 3 have the same octanuclear core of rare-earth atoms as the Gd cluster but contain two chloro ligands in two isomeric conformations in place of the Se ₃ ^2- ring in the Gd cluster. The geometry of the Ln ₈ core is described as a triangulated dodecahedron with ₃-OH groups capping the 12 faces. A ₄-O atom centers the cluster with close contacts to four Ln atoms in an approximate tetrahedral arrangement. Pertinent crystallographic data are: Compound 1, monoclinic, , a= 14.410(3) Å, b = 24.439(5) Å, c = 28.927(6) Å, = 101.05(3)°, V = 9998(3) ų, T = 106(2) K, Z = 4; Compound 2, orthorhombic, , a = 17.049(9) Å, b = 24.68(1) Å, c = 45.03(2)Å, V = 18,945(16) ų, T = 153(2) K, Z = 8; Compound 3, monoclinic, C _2h ⁵ -P2₁/c, a =18.728(l) Å, b = 29.263( 1) Å, c = 20.548(1) Å, = 90.144(1)°, V = 11,261(1) ų, T = 153(2) K, Z = 4.     

Extraction of environmental information from large aerosol data sets through combined application of cluster and factor analyses

To reveal useful environmental information which is contained in large analytical data sets, an approach, based on the successive application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis, is proposed. Estimation criteria to determine the most suitable number of clusters and/or factors, are discussed and the interpretation of the cluster and factor analyses results is performed using visual techniques. The data sets were obtained by scanning electron microscope-energy-dispersive X-ray analysis of individual North Sea aerosol particles.     

Square-planar coordinated polyanions of palladium, platinum, and gold stannaborate [SnB11H11]2- coordination chemistry

The tetrasubstituted polyanions of platinum, palladium, and gold [M(SnB(11)H(11))(4)](x-) (x=6, M=Pd, Pt; x=5, M=Au) have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR, Raman, (11)B, and (119)Sn heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. In the case of the platinum derivative [Bu(3)MeN](6)[Pt(SnB(11)H(11))(4)] (2) (119)Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopy has been carried out. The isolated salts are stable towards moisture and air and the complexes 2 and 3 were treated with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) to give the respective substitution products [Bu(3)MeN](2)[(dppp)M(SnB(11)H(11))(2)] (M=Pd, Pt).

Synthese,Strukturuntersuchung und Reaktionen Phosphansubstituierter Derivate von Fe3(CO)9(μ3-CF)2

Syntheses, Structure Determination and Reactions of Phosphine Substituted Derivatives of Fe₃(CO)₉(μ₃-CF)₂ Photolysis of Fe₃(CO)₉(μ₃-CF)₂ 1 in the presence of acetonitrile 2a or benzoenitrile 2b results in the substitution of a single carbonyl ligand by a nitrile ligand yielding Fe₃(CO)₈(CH₃CN)(μ₃-CF)₂ 3a and Fe₃(CO)₈(C₆H₅CN)(μ₃-CF)₂ 3b, respectively. The acetonitrile ligand in 3a can be easily replaced by trimethyl-phosphine 4a or triphenylphosphine 4b . The monosubstituted compounds Fe₃(CO)₈(PR₃)(μ₃-CF)₂5, R = CH₃ a, R = C₆H₅, b are obtained as major products besides a small amount of the disubsituted products Fe₃(CO)₇(PR₃)₂(μ₃-CF)₂ 6. The structure of 5a has been elucidated by a single crystal X-ray structure determination. Thermal ligand substitution in 1, however, results in the formation of a mixture of mono-, disubstituted, and trisubstituted products, in which 6b is the major product for diphenylphosphine. 5a reacts with ethyne 7 forming a phosphine substituted diferra-allyl-cluster Fe₃(CO)₇(PR₃)(μ₃-CF)(μ₃? CF? CH? CH) 8. The structure of one isomere of 8 has been determinated by X-ray crystallography.     

Covalent Structures of Phosphorus: A Comprehensive Theoretical Study

Starting from earlier work by Baudler we introduce a chemical heuristic for the systematic deduction and classification of covalent partial structures of phosphorus in polycyclic phosphanes, phosphorus-rich polycyclic phosphides, and allotropes of phosphorus except the black forms. This approach is used to direct ab initio techniques (which also confirm the rules) in the quest for as yet unknown forms of molecular or macromolecular phosphorus. Based on calculated stabilities of systematically generated structural alternatives we rationalize the stabilities of Hittorf's phosphorus and of molecular P₄, confirm the possible existence of at least one other crystalline allotropic form of phosphorus, and provide insight into the probable structure of amorphous red phosphorus. In total, the combined approach of chemical heuristics and large scale ab initio calculations presented in this work supplies a coherent chemical understanding of covalent polyphosphorus structures.
