Binukleare Nickel(0)-Alkin-Koordinationsverbindungen – Zusammenhang zwischen Ligandperipherie und supramolekularer Struktur

Binuclear Nickel(0) Alkyne Coordination Compounds – Correlation between Ligand Periphery and Supramolecular Structure Reaction of Ni(cdt: 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene) with functionalized alkynes and subsequent reaction with ethylenediamines gives binuclear compounds of the type (diamine)Ni(μ-alkyne)Ni(alkyne). Compounds with alkyne-diols (N?N)Ni₂(HOR¹R²C? C?C? CR¹R²OH)₂ show supramolecular structures in which two identical intramolecular and one intermolecular hydrogen bonds are realized. 1 and 2 (chelate ligand in each case N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, TMEDA, in 1 R¹ = R² = Me, in 2 R¹ = R² = Et) polymer-like chains are built up by connecting the binuclear units. Via two intermolecular hydrogen bonds per organometallic unit in 1 and via one intermoleculare hydrogen bond in 2 the chains are connected to give double chains. By substitution of one methyl group of TMEDA by hydrogen ( 3 : R¹ = R² = Me) a polymerlike network is produced by connecting the polymer-like chains. In compound 4 in which one of the methyl groups of TMEDA is substituted by CH₂CH₂NMe₂ the polymer-like chains remain unconnected. In 5 (diamine = TMEDA, alkyne = (CH₃)₃C? C?C? CMe₂OH) one intermolecular hydrogen bond per organometallic unit is observed forming again polymer-like chains that are independent of each other.     

Cu(II) in liquid ammonia: an approach by hybrid quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical molecular dynamics simulation.

To investigate the solvation structure of the Cu(II) ion in liquid ammonia, ab initio quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out at Hartree Fock (HF) and hybrid density functional theory (B3 LYP) levels. A sixfold-coordinated species was found to be predominant in the HF case whereas five- and sixfold-coordinated complexes were obtained in a ratio 2:1 from the B3 LYP simulation. In contrast to hydrated Cu(II), which exhibits a typical Jahn-Teller distortion, the geometrical arrangement of ligand molecules in the case of ammonia can be described as a [2 + 4] ([2 + 3]) configuration with 4 (3) elongated copper-nitrogen bonds. First shell solvent exchange reactions at picosecond rate took place in both HF and B3 LYP simulations, again in contrast to the more stable sixfold-coordinated hydrate. NH3 ligands apparently lead to strongly accelerated dynamics of the Cu(II) solvate due to the "inverse" [2 + 4] structure with its larger number of elongated copper-ligand bonds. Several dynamical properties, such as mean ligand residence times or ion-ligand stretching frequencies, prove the high lability of the solvated complex.     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von Ethylendiammonium-Selenostannaten(IV) sowie von [2 SnSe2 · en]∞

Preparation and Crystal Structure of Ethylenediammonium Selenostannates(IV) and [2 SnSe₂ · en]∞ The selenostannates(IV) [enH₂]₂[Sn₂Se₆] · en 1 and [enH₂][Sn₃Se₇] · 1/2en 2 have been prepared by the methanolothermal reaction of SnSe₂ with ethylenediamine (en) (160°C, 13 bar) in the presence of respectively Se or BaSe. The [Sn₂Se₆]^4? anion in 1 consists of two edgebridged SnSe₄ tetrahedra and displays crystallographic C_i symmetry. The crystal structure of 2 contains polyselenostannate(IV) sheet anions [Sn₂Se₇²], for which the basic elements are trigonal SnSe₅ bipyramids. Each of the three symmetry independent Sn atoms is linked to the other Sn atoms via Sn? Se? Sn bridges leading to the formation of Sn₃Se₁₀ units. Methanolothermal reaction of SnSe₂ with en alone yields the edge-bridged chain structure [2 SnSe₂ en]∞ 3 , in which each of the Sn atoms is bonded to four Se atoms. Every second Sn atom is also coordinated by an en molecule and displays, therefore, an octahedral geometry. The remaining Sn atoms are coordinated tetrahedrally by Se atoms.     

Polysulfonylamine. CLXIII [1] Kristallstrukturen von Metall‐di(methansulfonyl)amiden. 12 [1] Das orthorhombische Doppelsalz Na2Cs2[(CH3SO2)2N]4·3H2O: Ein dreidimensionales Koordinationspolymer aus (Caesium‐Anion‐Wasser)‐Schichten und intercalierten Natriumionen

Polysulfonylamines. CLXIII. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 12. The Orthorhombic Double Salt Na₂Cs₂[(CH₃SO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O: A Three‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer Built up from Cesium‐Anion‐Water Layers and Intercalated Sodium Ions The packing arrangement of the three‐dimensional coordination polymer Na₂Cs₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·3H₂O (orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, Z′ = 1) is in some respects similar to that of the previously reported sodium‐potassium double salt Na₂K₂[(MeSO₂)₂N]₄·4H₂O (tetragonal, P4₃2₁2, Z′ = 1/2). In the present structure, four multidentately coordinating independent anions, three independent aquo ligands and two types of cesium cation form monolayer substructures that are associated in pairs to form double layers via a Cs(1)—H₂O—Cs(2) motif, thus conferring upon each Cs⁺ an irregular O₈N₂ environment drawn from two N, O‐chelating anions, two O, O‐chelating anions and two water molecules. Half of the sodium ions occupy pseudo‐inversion centres situated between the double layers and have an octahedral O₆ coordination built up from four anions and two water molecules, whereas the remaining Na⁺ are intercalated within the double layers in a square‐pyramidal and pseudo‐C₂ symmetric O₅ environment provided by four anions and the water molecule of the Cs—H₂O—Cs motif. The net effect is that each of the four independent anions forms bonds to two Cs⁺ and two Na⁺, two independent water molecules are involved in Cs—H₂O—Na motifs, and the third water molecule acts as a μ₃‐bridging ligand for two Cs⁺ and one Na⁺. The crystal cohesion is reinforced by a three‐dimensional network of conventional O—H···O=S and weak C—H···O=S/N hydrogen bonds.     

Ultra‐wideline 27Al NMR Investigation of Three‐ and Five‐Coordinate Aluminum Environments

Ultra‐wideline ²⁷Al NMR experiments are conducted on coordination compounds with ²⁷Al nuclei possessing immense quadrupolar interactions that result from exceptionally nonspherical coordination environments. NMR spectra are acquired using a methodology involving frequency‐stepped, piecewise acquisition of NMR spectra with Hahn‐echo or quadrupolar Carr–Purcell Meiboom–Gill (QCPMG) pulse sequences, which is applicable to any half‐integer quadrupolar nucleus with extremely broad NMR powder patterns. Despite the large breadth of these central transition powder patterns, ranging from 250 to 700 kHz, the total experimental times are an order of magnitude less than previously reported experiments on analogous complexes with smaller quadrupolar interactions. The complexes examined feature three‐ or five‐coordinate aluminum sites: trismesitylaluminum (AlMes₃), tris(bis(trimethylsilyl)amino)aluminum (Al(NTMS₂)₃), bis[dimethyl tetrahydrofurfuryloxide aluminum] ([Me₂‐Al(μ‐OTHF)]₂), and bis[diethyl tetrahydrofurfuryloxide aluminum] ([Et₂‐Al(μ‐OTHF)]₂). We report some of the largest ²⁷Al quadrupolar coupling constants measured to date, with values of C_Q(²⁷Al) of 48.2(1), 36.3(1), 19.9(1), and 19.6(2) MHz for AlMes₃ , Al(NTMS₂)₃ , [Me₂‐Al(μ‐OTHF)]₂ , and [Et₂‐Al(μ‐OTHF)]₂ , respectively. X‐ray crystallographic data and theoretical (Hartree–Fock and DFT) calculations of ²⁷Al electric field gradient (EFG) tensors are utilized to examine the relationships between the quadrupolar interactions and molecular structure; in particular, the origin of the immense quadrupolar interaction in the three‐coordinate species is studied via analyses of molecular orbitals.     

Ternäre Halogenide vom Typ A3MX6. II. Das System Ag3−xNaxYCl6: Synthese,Strukturen, Ionenleitfähigkeit

Ternary Halides of the A₃MX₆ Type. II. The System Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆: Synthesis, Structures, Ionic Conductivity . The influence of the substitution of Ag⁺ by Na⁺ ions on the crystal structure and the ionic conductivity of Ag₃YCl₆ (stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure) has been investigated. The system Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆ forms a complete solid solution. The stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure is stable for all compositions. For compounds with Na⁺ contents of x > 1.67, the cryolite-type structure is observed as the high-temperature form. The transition temperature decreases steadily with increasing Na⁺ content. The “end member” phase Na₃YCl₆ transforms at 243 K from the monoclinic cryolite-type structure to the stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure (trigonal, R3 ; a = 697.3(1), c = 1 868.4(14) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.094; R_w = 0.069). The crystal structures of Ag_1.3Na_1.7YCl₆ (trigonal, R3 ; a = 691.5(2), c = 1 853.7(6) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.099, R_w = 0.081) and AgNa₂YCl₆ (trigonal, R3 ; a = 691.7(1), c = 1 853.9(5) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.099, R_w = 0.064) have also been determined. Both chlorides crystallize like Ag₃YCl₆ and Na₃YCl₆-I in the stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure. The monovalent cations, Ag⁺ and Na⁺, are distributed over the five octahedral voids that are occupied by the Ag⁺ ions alone in Ag₃YCl₆. The ionic conductivity for compounds within the solid solution Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆ decreases with increasing Na⁺ content. The values for Na₃YCl₆ (σ = 1 · 10^?6 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at T = 500 K) are by 2.5 to 3.5 orders of magnitude smaller than those for Ag₃YCl₆ (σ = 6 · 10^?4 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at T = 500 K).     

A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF POLY（DIVINYLBENZENE-co-ACRYLIC ACID） IN CROSSLINKING PRECIPITATION POLYMERIZATION

Divinylbenzene-80 （DVB-80） and polar monomer acrylic acid （AA） having hydrogen bonding at a total monomer loading of 5 vol% were precipitated-copolymerized in a variety of organic solvents with 2,2＇-azobis（isobutyronitrile） （AIBN） as initiator. The experiments were investigated from a two-dimensional matrix, i.e., the actual crosslinking degree of DVB varying from 0 to 80% and the solvent composition varying from 0 to 100% of toluene mixture with acetonitrile, when the mixture of acetonitrile and toluene was used as the reaction solvent. Under various reaction conditions, six distinct morphologies including soluble polymers, swellable microgels, coagulum, irregular microparticles, and nano-/micrometer microspheres were formed and the structures of these polymer architectures were described. A morphological map was utilized to discuss the effects of both crosslinking degree of DVB and composition of solvent on the transitions between morphology domains. The results demonstrated that the microspheres are formed by an internal contraction due to the marginal solvency of the continuous phase and the crosslinking of the polymer network through the covalent bonding from DVB as well as the interchain hydrogen-bonding between the carboxylic acid units.     

Synthesis,structures and mass spectrometry of lanthanide nitrate complexes with tricyclohexylphosphine oxide

The complexes Ln(NO₃)₃(OPCy₃)₃(EtOH)_x (Cy = cyclohexyl, C₆H₁₁x = 0 for Ln = Eu, Er, x = 0.5 for Ln = La, Nd and x = 1 for Ln = Tm, Yb) have been prepared by reaction of lanthanide nitrates with Cy₃PO in ethanol. The single crystal X-ray structures for Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Er, Tm and Yb are reported. The structures for Ln = La–Eu have two molecules in the unit cell in which the nitrates are all bound as bidentate ligands. The unit cell for Ln = Er contains two distinct molecules; one with three bidentate nitrates and one with two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate. The Tm and Yb complexes have one molecule in the unit cell with two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate ligands. The monodentate nitrates are hydrogen bonded to ethanol in the Tm and Yb structures but not in the Er complex. The infrared spectra of the three classes of complex do not readily permit identification of the monodentate nitrate groups. Electrospray mass spectrometry indicates that redistribution/ionisation reactions occur in solution. Ions formed by solvolysis reactions are attributed to gas phase processes associated with the electrospray technique. Tandem mass spectrometry for the La, Ho and Yb complexes shows that in the gas phase loss of Cy₃PO is the sole fragmentation pathway for all but the Yb complex where the higher energy required for initial fragmentation leads to a more complex fragmentation pattern.     

~(13)C-NMR STUDY ON THE CHAIN TERMINAL STRUCTURE OF POLY-1,3-PENTADIENE POLYMERIZED WITH RARE EARTH CATALYST

The sequence distribution and the terminal structures of poly-1,3-pentadiene chains obtained by rare earth catalyst and effect of polymerization temperature on microstructure of the polymer have been investigated by ~(13)C-NMR method. According to experimental results it was supposed that terminal active growing chain of the polymer would be four types of anti- and syn-η~3-allyl structures. When polymerization temperature was reduced, the content of cis-1,4-poly-1,3-pcntadiene increases. It can be explained by isomerization between anti- and syn-η~3-allyl. The process forming trans-1,2 unit instead of 3,4-unit were also described.     

Synthesis and characterisation of the platinum complexes [PtCl(CClPAr)(PPh3)2] and [PtCl(CClPAr′)(PPh3)2] as potential intermediates in the preparation of phosphaalkynes

Oxidative addition reactions of Cl₂CPR (R = 2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (Ar) or 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (Ar′) with Pt(PPh₃)₄ yield the cis and trans (at platinum) complexes [PtCl(ClCPAr)(PPh₃)₂] and [PtCl(ClCPAr′)(PPh₃)₂]. All starting materials and intermediates have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of the trans-platinum complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at low temperature.
