Zur Struktur des Pentaazadienidions [tol-N=N-N-N=N-tol]-. Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Cs2(18-Krone-6)(tolN5tol)2 und (NH4)[Cr(NH3)6(H2O)4](tolN5tol)4 / The Structure of the Pentaazadienide Anion [tol-N=N—N—N=N-tol]-. Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Cs2(18-Crown-6)(tolN5tol)2 and (NH4)[Cr(NH3)6(H2O)4](tolN5tol)4
A concentrated solution of CsCI, 18-crown-6, and tol-N=N—N(H)—N=N-tol in aqueous ammonia affords Cs2(18-crown-6)(tolN5tol)2, which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 852.6(2), b = 1139.4(3), c = 1373.9(4) pm, α = 104.17(3), ß = 95.94(2), γ = 110.74(2)°, Ζ = 1. In the structure centrosymmetrical [Cs2(18-crown-6)]2+ moieties are packed with pairs of 1,5-bis(tolyl)pentaazadienide anions to built up columns along [100]. The N—N distances N1 —N2 = 128 pm and N4—N5 = 129 pm in the pentaazadienide anions indicate localized double bonds, while the distances N2—N3 and N3—N4 of 134 pm can be assigned to single bonds. A mixture of Cr(NH3)63+ and tolNNN(H)NNtol in concentrated aqueous ammonia yields triclinic (NH4)[Cr(NH3)6(H2O)4](tolN5tol)4 crystallizing in the space group P l with the lattice parameters a = 1561.1(1), b = 1619.3(3), c = 1703.3(2) pm, α = 107.03(1), β = 116.81(1), γ = 101.75(1)°, Ζ = 2. The structure contains tolN5tol- anions, NH4+ cations and [Cr(NH3)6(H2O)4]3+ complexes in which four triangular faces of the Cr(NH3)6 octahedron are capped by water molecules which are linked via hydrogen bonds. Within the pentaazadienide anions which are connected with the [Cr(NH3)6(H2O)4]3+ complexes also via hydrogen bonds an indication for localized double bonds Ν1=Ν2 and N4=N 5 has been obtained.
