Abstract: | The reaction of S4N3Cl with metal salts leads to complexes containing the S3N?chelating ligand, a reaction which proceeds smoothly especially in an alkaline medium. Thus we were able to prepare, by the reaction of CuCN with S4N3Cl and Ph6P2N]OH (Ph = phenyl), the salt Ph6P2N]Cu3(S3N)2(CN)2], a compound in which the anions build a bidimensional network through supplementary Cu - S contact interactions. The salt is monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 18.960, b = 14.651 and c = 15.400 Å, β = 101.03° and Z = 4. Metal Sulfur Nitrogen Compounds. 22. S4N3Cl as a Starting Compound for the Preparation of Complexes Containing the S3N? Ligand. Complexes Ph6P2N] Cu3(S3N)2 (CN)2] and Ph4As] (CuS3N)2 (CN)] In contrast, the reaction of CuN with S4N3Cl and Ph4As]OH led to the compound Ph4As](CuS3N)2(CN)], monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 18.478, b = 6.405, c = 27.051 Å, β = 119.50°, Z = 4. In the centrosymmetric anion the two Cu(S3N) groups are linked together by disordered CN? groups. An additional linkage results from Cu - Cu contact interactions, with d = 2.84 Å. |
