Synthese und Röntgenstrukturanalyse des 8π-Elektronenringsystems S4N4O2Sn2(CH3)6 und des magnetische Verhalten von S4N4O2 und S8N8O4

Synthesis and X-Ray Structure Analysis of the 8π-Electron-Ring-System S₄N₄O₂Sn₂(CH₃)₆ and the Magnetic Properties of S₄N₄O₂ and S₈N₈O₄ S₄N₄O₂ reacts with N[Sn(CH₃)₃]₃ in a molar ratio of 1:1 to an eight-membered trimethyltin-substituted 8π-electron skeleton, S₄N₄O₂Sn₂(CH₃)₆. In contrast to known 6π-electronsystems this compound has tin atoms which are tetracoordinated. This was demonstrated on the basis of an x-ray analysis. S₄N₄O₂Sn₂(CH₃)₆ · 1/2 C₆H₆ crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c with a = 1396.0(4), b = 1190.3(4), c = 1256.7(3) pm, and β = 103.46(2)°. It was shown that the ability of coordination at the tin atom depends on the electron density. The magnetic properties of S₄N₄O₂ and S₈N₈O₄ were investigated by the Faraday method. The high diamagnetism in these ring compounds is caused by the π-electrons.     

Preparation and Crystal Structure of La3ReO8

The crystal structure of La₃ReO₈, prepared at 1425°C, is reported to be different from a previous result on a preparation at 900°C (BAUD et al., 1979). The high temperature modification crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/m with a = 7.757(1), b = 7.777(1), c = 5.928(1) Å, γ = 111.1°, Z = 2. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods from single crystal diffractometer data and refined to final R(F) = 0,073. The structure consists of isolated, distorted ReO₆ octahedra and double chains of edge-shared La₄O tetrahedra.     

Ferromagnetism in a dinuclear nickel(II) complex containing triethylenetetramine and tricyanomethanide

Triethylenetetramine (L(4)) was used as a tetradentate blocking ligand that, after complexation with Ni(II), leaves two sites ready for ligation with tricyanomethanide. The formed binuclear complex [L(4)Ni(NCC(CN)CN)(2)NiL(4)](ClO(4))(2) exhibits a ferromagnetic coupling with J/hc = +0.15 cm(-1) and g(Ni) = 2.126; below 16 K, a ferromagnetic ordering is evidenced by ac magnetic susceptibility (both in-phase and out-of-phase), magnetization, field-cooled magnetization, and zero-field-cooled magnetization measurements.     

Struktur und Eigenschaften von Doppelhalogeniden von substituiertem Ammonium und Quecksilber(II). VI [1]. Die Kristallstruktur von (CH3NH3)2HgBr4 und (CH3NH3)2HgI4

Structure and Properties of Double Halogenides of Substituted Ammonium and Mercury(II). VI. Crystal Structure of (CH₃NH₃)₂HgBr₄ and (CH₃NH₃)₂HgI₄ The compounds (CH₃NH₃)₂HgBr₄ and (CH₃NH₃)₂HgI₄ were prepared from stoichiometric mixtures of the methylammonium halogenides and the mercury(II) halogenides in methanol by evaporation. X-ray structure determination revealed for (CH₃NH₃)₂HgBr₄ monoclinic symmetry, space group P2₁/c and orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbca for (CH₃NH₃)₂HgI₄. Both compounds are built from isolated, slightly deformed tetrahedra. The Hg? Br distances range from 2.586(3) Å to 2.598(2) Å, the Br? Hg? Br angles from 105.36(8)° to 112.26(8)°. The observed distances in the HgI₄ tetrahedra are in the range 2.751(1) and 2.803(1) Å, the I? Hg? I angles between 106.25(3)° and 115.68(4)°. The tetrahedra are linked together by hydrogen bonds between the methylammonium group and the halogen atoms.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of new indium rhenium and scandium rhenium oxides, In6ReO12 and Sc6ReO12

The new complex indium rhenium and scandium rhenium oxides, In₆ReO₁₂ and Sc₆ReO₁₂, have been synthesized as single phases in sealed silica tubes and by high-pressure high-temperature syntheses, and their crystal structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.The compounds crystallize in a rhombohedral structure related to the distorted fluorite structure like Ln₆ReO₁₂ for some rare earth elements, S. G.: R-3, Z=3, a_H= 9.248(2) Å, c_H=8.720(2) Å for Sc₆ReO₁₂ and a_H=9.492(1) Å, c_H=8.933(1) Å for In₆ReO₁₂. A maximum in magnetization is observed for Sc₆ReO₁₂ at T(M_max)=1.89(2) K, whereas ferromagnetic ordering is found for In₆ReO₁₂ by a pronounced increase in the temperature dependence of magnetization at T_C=7.5(5) K. The magnetic moment per rhenium ion in In₆ReO₁₂ and Sc₆ReO₁₂ is 0.84(1) and 0.65(1) μ_B, respectively, derived from the paramagnetic regions.     

Strong cooperativeness in the mononuclear iron(II) derivative exhibiting an abrupt spin transition above 400 K

The spin crossover system, [Fe(bzimpy)(2)](ClO(4))(2).0.25H(2)O, was reinvestigated above room temperature (bzimpy = 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine). The system exhibits an abrupt low-spin to high-spin transition at T(c) = 403 K. Liberation of a fractional amount of water does not affect the spin crossover: the system is perfectly reversible with a hysteresis width of DeltaT = 12 K. The existence of the hysteresis at such high temperature determines that the lowest limit of the solid-state cooperativity parameter is J/k > 403 K despite long iron(II) separations (10 A). The high cooperativeness has been assigned to a perfect pi-stacking of the benzimidazole rings in the crystal lattice at a distance as short as 3.6 A. Variable-temperature IR data and the heat capacity measurements match well the magnetic data. The thermodynamic properties are DeltaH = 17 kJ mol(-)(1), DeltaS = 43 J K(-)(1) mol(-)(1), so that the entropy of the spin transition shows a considerable contribution from the molecular vibrations. A theoretical model has been applied in fitting the magnetic data along the whole hysteresis path. A statistical distribution of the cooperativity parameter led to the feature that angled walls of the hysteresis loop are well reproduced.
