Thermodynamic and physical properties of carbon tetrachloride + sulfolane mixtures

The solid + liquid phase diagram, drawn from thermal and dielectric measurements, is presented. It exibits a miscibility gap at 0.08 ≤ χ₂ ≤ 0.58, and two eutectics. The occurrence of a (likely 1:1) intermediate compound, which decomposes on melting into two immiscible liquids, is postulated. Mixed crystals are observed in the sulfolane richer region.Deviations of the liquid mixtures from ideality, positive in the case of viscosity and negative in the case of dielectric constants, are evidenced.     

A new type of entanglement involving one-dimensional ribbons of rings catenated to a three-dimensional network in the nanoporous structure of [Co(bix)2(H2O)2](SO4).7H2O [bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene

Co(II) sulfate reacts with the flexible ligand 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (bix) to yield the coordination network [Co(bix)2(H2O)2](SO4).7H2O, containing polymeric ribbons of rings which penetrate and catenate a 3D single frame of the CdSO4 topology, to produce an open-channel entangled architecture with nanoporous behaviour.

The crystal and molecular structure of the tetraethylammonium salt of tetrahydridopentadecacarbonyltetrarhenate(2−) in two crystallographic forms

The structure of the title compound, (NEt₄)₂[H₄Re₄(CO)₁₅], is reported in two crystallographic modifications, I and II. Both forms axe monoclinic and the cell constants are as follows: I, a 11.355(2), b 21.204(4), c 17.416(3) Å, β 94.15(2)°, space group P2₁/c; II, a 21.831(4), b 17.584(3), c 11.446(2) Å, β 96.02(2)°, space group P2₁,/n. Two sets of 3042 (I) and 2870 (II) independent diffraction intensities, collected by counter methods, were used for the solution and refinement of the two structures. The final conventional R factors have values 5.5% (I) and 6.3% (II), respectively. The crystal packings are compared, showing different conformations of the (NEt₄)⁺ cations. The anions contain a tetrametal cluster formed by an isosceles triangle plus an apically bound metal atom; the carbonyl groups are all terminally bonded to the rhenium atoms. Some differences, present both in the metal atom clusters and in the carbonyl dispositions, are discussed and compared with a third, previously reported, crystallographic modification of the same compound.     

A new carbonylhydridorhenium cluster

The preparation and properties of new polynuclear carbonylhydrido complexes (NEt₄)₃[H₄Re₄(OCH₃)(CO)₁₆] (I) and (NEt₄)₂[H₄Re₄(CO)₁₅] (II) are reported. Infrared and NMR spectra of these compounds are presented and discussed. The structure of compound II has been established by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
