Single-Component Magnetic Conductors Based on Mo3S7 Trinuclear Clusters with Outer Dithiolate Ligands
A trinuclear cluster complex containing the Mo(3)S(7) central unit coordinated to dithiolate ligands, in particular the organic dmit (1,3-dithia-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) anion, has been used to prepare a single-component molecular conductor formed by the threefold symmetry magnetic building block Mo(3)S(7)(dmit)(3) (1). The [Mo(3)S(7)(dmit)(3)](2)(-) ([1](2)(-)) diamagnetic anion forms dimers by interaction between the electrophilic cluster axial sulfur atoms and the sulfur atoms of the outer dithiolate ligand. Additional contacts between adjacent dmit ligands result in chain formation. The two-electron oxidation of [1](2)(-) yields to a three-dimensional molecular solid formed by neutral M…
Cubane-Type Mo3CoS4 Molecular Clusters with Three Different Metal Electron Populations: Structure, Reactivity and Their Use in the Synthesis of Hybrid Charge-Transfer Salts
Heterodimetallic cubane-type complexes coordinated to diphosphanes [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(4)](+) ([1](+)) (dmpe=1,2-bis(dimethylphosphanyl)ethane), [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(4)] (1) and [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(3)(CO)] (2) with 14, 15 and 16 metal electrons, respectively, have been prepared from the [Mo(3)S(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(3)](+) trinuclear precursor using [Co(2)(CO)(8)] or CoCl(2) as cobalt source. Cluster complexes [1](+) and 1 are easily interconverted chemically and electrochemically. The Co-Cl distance increases upon electron addition and substitution of the chlorine atom coordinated to cobalt with CO only takes place in presence of a reducing agent to give complex 2. Structural changes in…
[Cr(bpym)(C2O4)2]− in designing heterometallic complexes. Crystal structures and magnetic properties of PPh4[Cr(bpym)(C2O4)2]·H2O and [Ag(bpym)][Cr(C2O4)2](H2O)2]·2H2O (bpym=2,2′-bipyrimidine)
Abstract The preparation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of PPh 4 [Cr(bpym)(C 2 O 4 ) 2 ]·H 2 O ( 1 ) and [Ag(bpym)][Cr(C 2 O 4 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]·2H 2 O ( 2 ) (C 2 O 4 2− =oxalate dianion, bpym=2,2′-bipyrimidine and PPh 4 + =tetraphenylphosphonium cation) are described. The structure of 1 is made up of discrete (2,2′-bipyrimidine)bis(oxalato)chromate(III) anions, teraphenylphosphonium cations and uncoordinated water molecules. The structure of 2 consists chains of univalent silver cations bridged by bis-chelating 2,2′-bypyrimidine, cis -diaquabis(oxalato)chromate(III) anions and crystallisation water molecules. The chromium atom in 1 and 2 has a slightly distorted octahedral geom…
Heteropolymetallic Supramolecular Solid-State Architectures Constructed from [Cr(AA)(C2O4)2]- Tectons, and Sustained by Coordinative, Hydrogen Bond and π−π Stacking Interactions (AA = 2,2‘-Bipyridine; 1,10-Phenanthroline)
The paper reports on four novel solid-state architectures constructed by using tectons having the general formula: [Cr(AA)(C2O4)2]- [AA = 2,2‘-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)]. These building blocks are involved in various intermolecular interactions: coordinative, hydrogen bonds, and π−π contacts. Two new crystallohydrates in the Ba[Cr(AA)(C2O4)2]2·nH2O family have been characterized: [BaCr2(bipy)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2]·4H2O (1) and [BaCr2(phen)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2] (2). Because of the different numbers of water molecules, their crystal structures are completely different from those of two others previously reported, [BaCr2(bipy)2(C2O4)4(H2O)]·H2O and [BaCr2(phen)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2]·4H2O…
4,2-Ribbon like ferromagnetic cyano-bridged FeIII2NiII chains: a magneto-structural study
The low-spin iron(III) complex AsPh(4)[Fe(III)(bpy)(CN)(4)].CH(3)CN (1) [AsPh(4) = tetraphenylarsonium cation] and the heterobimetallic chains [{Fe(III)(L)(CN)(4)}(2)Ni(II)(H(2)O)(2)].4H(2)O with L = bpy (2) and phen (3) [bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of 1 consists of mononuclear [Fe(bpy)(CN)(4)](-) anions, tetraphenylarsonium cations and acetonitrile molecules of crystallization. The iron(III) is hexacoordinated with two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate bpy and four carbon atoms of four terminal cyanide groups building a distorted octahedral surrounding around the metal ato…
Interaction of half-sandwich alkylmolybdenum(III) complexes with B(C6F5)3. The X-ray structure of [CpMo(η4-C4H6)(μ-Cl)(μ-CH2)(O)MoCp][CH3B(C6F5)3]
Abstract The reactions of the half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complexes CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 4 R 2 )(CH 3 ) 2 , where Cpη 5 -C 5 H 5 and RH or CH 3 , with equimolar amounts of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 have been investigated in toluene. EPR monitoring shows the formation of an addition product which does not readily react with Lewis bases such as ethylene, pyridine, or PMe 3 . The analysis of the EPR properties and the X-ray structure of a decomposition product obtained from dichloromethane, [CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 6 )(μ-Cl)(μ-CH 2 )(O)MoCp][CH 3 B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ], indicate that the borane attack has occurred at the methyl position.
High yield synthesis of trinuclear [M3S4X3(diphos)3]+ (M=Mo, W; X=Cl, Br and diphos=dmpe, dppe) molecular clusters from solid state materials. Synthesis and structure of [W3S4H3(dppe)3](BPh4)
The excision of polymeric {M 3 S 7 X 4 } x (M=Mo, W; X=Cl, Br) cluster phases with diphosphines (dmpe, dppe) in acetonitrile affords a one step general synthetic route for the preparation of trinuclear molecular clusters with formula [M 3 S 4 X 3 (diphos) 3 ] + (M=Mo, W; X=Cl, Br and diphos=dmpe, dppe) in high yields. Following this strategy, the cluster cations [Mo 3 S 4 Br 3 (dmpe) 3 ] + and [W 3 S 4 Br 3 (dppe) 3 ] + have been prepared for the first time. This last tungsten cluster has proved to be a useful synthon for the synthesis of the hydride derivative [W 3 S 4 H 3 (dppe) 3 ] + in moderate yields. The crystal structure of [W 3 S 4 H 3 (dppe) 3 ](BPh 4 ) consists of a equilateral tu…
Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Multicomponent Bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene Charge-Transfer Salts of the [Mo3S7Br6]2- Cluster
A new family of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) radical salts has been prepared in the presence of a triangular molybdenum sulfide cluster of formula [Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 - , which contains highly electrophilic axialsulfur atoms. A systematic change in the experimental conditions yields five different salts, namely (ETA)2(ET B )[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] 2 . CH 2 Br 2 (1), (ETA)(ET B )Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].1.1CH 2 Br 2 (2), (ETA)(ETB)(ET C ){[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ]Br}.0.5C 2 H 4 Cl 2 (3), (ET)((n-Bu 4 )N)-[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ] (4), and (ET)(Ph4P)[Mo 3 S 7 Br 6 ].0.5CH 3 CN (5), where the ET subscript denotes crystallographically independent molecules. The five compounds have been structurally characterized, a…
Synthesis and structure of the incomplete cuboidal clusters [W3Se4H3(dmpe)3]+, [W3Se4H3−x(OH)x(dmpe)3]+and [W3Se4(OH)3(dmpe)3]+, and the mechanism of the acid-assisted substitution of the coordinated hydrides
The novel incomplete cuboidal cluster [W3Se4H3(dmpe)3](PF6), [1](PF6), has been prepared by reduction of [W3Se4Br3(dmpe)3](PF6) with LiBH4 in THF solution. The trihydroxo complex [W3Se4(OH)3(dmpe)3](PF6), [2](PF6), was obtained by reacting [W3Se4Br3(dmpe)3](PF6) with NaOH in MeCN–H2O solution. The complexes [1](PF6) and [2](PF6) were converted to their BPh4− salts by treatment with NaBPh4. Recrystallisation of [1](BPh4) in the presence of traces of water affords the mixed dihydride hydroxo complex [W3Se4H2(OH)(dmpe)3](BPh4). The crystal structures of [1](BPh4), [2](BPh4) and [W3Se4H2(OH)(dmpe)3](BPh4) have been resolved. Although the [1]+ trihydride does not react with an excess of halide s…
Stereoselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of a Chiral Nitrone Derived from Erythrulose. An Experimental and DFT Theoretical Study
We have investigated several 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of a chiral nitrone prepared from L-erythrulose. While cycloadditions to carbon-carbon multiple bonds of dipolarophiles such as ethyl acrylate, ethyl propiolate, or dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate were poorly stereoselective, reaction with acrylonitrile provided predominantly one diastereomeric adduct. Furthermore, the regioselectivity exhibited by the two structurally similar dipolarophiles ethyl acrylate and ethyl propiolate was found to be opposite. The molecular mechanisms of these cycloadditions have thus been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G and 6-31+G basis …
