Abstract: | Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Samarium Complexes [SmI2(DME)3] and [Sm2I(NPPh3)5(DME)] When treated with ultrasound, the reaction of samarium metal with N-iodine-triphenylphosphaneimine in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) leads to the two samarium complexes [SmI2(DME)3] ( 1 ) and [Sm2I(NPPh3)5(DME)] ( 2 ), which are separated from each other by fractional crystallization. 1 could be isolated in two different crystallographic forms, namely as brownish black crystals ( 1 a ) and as violet-black crystals ( 1 b ), both of them are characterized by crystal structure analyses. 1 a : Space group P21/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1459.4(1), b = 1314.4(1), c = 2293.6(2) pm, β = 99.245(8)°, R = 0.0344. The structure of 1 a holds two crystallographically independent molecules [SmI2(DME)3], in which the samarium atoms have coordination number eight. The two individuals differ from each other particularly in their I–Sm–I bond angles, which are 157.94 and 178.45°. 1 b : Space group P21, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 849.4(3), b = 1060.1(3), c = 1235.1(6) pm, b = 93.86(5)°, R = 0.0251. 1 b has a molecular structure similar to that of 1a with a bond angle I–Sm–I of 158.40°. The phosphoraneiminato complex [Sm2I(NPPh3)5(DME)] ( 2 ) forms colourless, moisture sensitive crystals which contain two molecules DME per formula unit. 2 · 2 DME: Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1405.0(4), b = 1656.5(3), c = 2208.3(7) pm, α = 89.60(3)°, β = 72.96(4)°, γ = 78.70(3)°, R = 0.0408. In 2 the two samarium atoms are linked via the μ-N atoms of two phosphoraneiminato ligands to form a planar Sm2N2 four-membered ring. One of the Sm atoms is terminally coordinated by the N atoms of two (NPPh3)– groups, thus achieving a distorted tetrahedral surrounding. The second Sm atom is coordinated by the N atom of one (NPPh3)– group, by the terminally bonded iodine atom, and by the O atoms of the DME chelate, thus achieving a distorted octahedral surrounding. |
