Reaction of 3 equivalents of ZrCl4 · 2Et2O (1) with 1 equivalent of (Et2N4Zr in diethyl ether readily affords crystalline (Et2N)ZrCl3 · 2Et2O (2) in almost quantitative yield. The product was characterised by elemental analysis and by 1H. 13 C NMR, and MS techniques. The reactivity of this reagent towards C-H acidic compounds has been studied using cyclopentadiene as a C-H acid. The crystal structures of both 1 and 2 have been determined by X-ray diffractometry. The coordination polyhedra reveal a nearly perfect octahedral geometry with a trans Et2O ligation for 1 and a cis one for 2.

Reaction of [WI2(CO)3(NCMe)2] with two equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-propyne (MeC2Ph) in CH2Cl2, and in the absence of light, gave the bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne) complex [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (1) in 77% yield. Treatment of equimolar quantities of 1 and NCR (R = Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) in CH2Cl2 afforded the nitrile-exchanged products, [WI2(CO)(NCR)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (2-5) (R = Et (2), i-Pr (3), t-Bu (4), Ph (5)). Complexes 1, 2, and 5 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. All three structures have the same pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the equatorial sites being occupied by cis and parallel alkyne groups, which are trans to the cis-iodo groups. The trans carbon monoxide and acetonitrile ligands occupy the axial sites. In structures 1 and 2, the methyl and phenyl substituents of the 1-phenyl-1-propyne ligands are cis to each other, whereas for the bulkier NCPh complex (5), the methyl and phenyl groups are trans to one another. This is the first time that this arrangement has been observed in the solid state in bis(alkyne) complexes of this type.Key words: bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne), carbonyl, nitrile, diiodo, tungsten(II), crystal structures.

The crystal structures of calcium citrate hexahydrate, calcium citrate tetrahydrate, and anhydrous calcium citrate have been solved using laboratory and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Both the hexahydrate and tetrahydrate structures are characterized by layers of edge-sharing Ca coordination polyhedra, including triply chelated Ca. An additional isolated Ca is coordinated by water molecules, and two uncoordinated water molecules occur in the hexahydrate structure. The previously reported polymorph of the tetrahydrate contains the same layers, but only two H2O coordinated to the isolated Ca and two uncoordinated water molecules. Anhydrous calcium citrate has a three-dimensional network structure of Ca coordination polyhedra. The new polymorph of calcium citrate tetrahydrate is the major crystalline phase in several commercial calcium supplements.

Two new ZnII(phen)2 complexes with trichloroacetate and acetate anions, [Zn(phen)2(CCl3COO)- (H2O)](ClO4) and [Zn(phen)2(CH3COO)](ClO4), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray data of these compounds show the Zn atoms to have six-coordinate geometry. From IR spectra and X-ray crystallography it is established that the coordination of the COO− group is different for trichloroacetate and acetate. The former acts as a monodentate whereas the latter acts as a bidentate ligand.

The reactions of C(NMe2)4 (1) with Mn2(CO)10 or Co2(CO)8 in THF yield[C(NMe2)3][Co(CO)4] (3) and [C(NMe2)3][Mn(CO)5] (4), respectively. The compounds Co(CO)4NMe2 (5) and Mn(CO)5NMe2 (6) could not be found. With CH2Cl2 4 is quantitatively converted into [C(NMe2)3][Mn(CO)4Cl2] (7) as shown by IR and 13C NMR investigations. 3 and 4 were characterized by an X-ray structure determination. 3: Space group Pnma, Z = 4, a = 7.435(2), b = 10.79(2), c = 20.299(5)Å. 4: Space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 11.378(2), b = 10.165(1), c = 14.533(1) Å; β = 103.37(1)°. The compounds form independent ions with no bonding interactions between cation and anion; the central CN3 unit of the [C(NMe2)3]+ cation in 3 and 4 is disordered.

Diethyl 2,2´-thiocarbonyl-bis(azanediyl)dibenzoate was synthesized from the reaction of ethyl anthranilate with thiophosgene. Its treatment with sodium ethoxide in ethanol at room temperature gave ethyl 2-(4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-3(4H)-yl) benzoate, whereas in the presence of ethyl nitroacetate and under the same reaction conditions, the corresponding bis(quinazolin)disulfide was formed. Its structure was confirmed by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray structure determination.

Reaction of [MI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-EtC2Et)2] (M = Mo,W) with one equivalent of 2,2' -bipyridine (bipy) in CH2C12 at room temperature gives either the neutral complex, [MoI2(CO)(bipy)- (η2-EtC2Et)] (1) or the cationic complex, [WI(CO)(bipy)(η2-EtC2Et)2]I (2). The neutral molybdenum complex 1, has been crystallographically characterised, and has a pseudo-octahedral geometry with the iodo-ligand trans to the 3-hexyne, and with the bipy, carbon monoxide and other iodo-ligand occupying the equatorial face. 13C NMR studies show the 3-hexyne is donating four electrons to the molybdenum in 1.

AbstractAlthough thienopyridines attract attention because of their biological activities, they have not been used as ligands in coordination compounds. Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine was prepared by known procedures; by reduction of 2-nitrothiophene, and reaction of the resulting 2-thienyl ammonium salt with malondialdehyde tetramethylacetal in the presence of zinc chloride. The same procedure was used for the preparation of a new derivative, 2-methylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine, starting from 2-methyl-5-nitrothiophene. The thienopyridines were used in the synthesis of coordination compounds. Chlorides, isothiocyanates, acetates, and chloroacetates of copper(II), nickel(II), or cobalt(II) were used as starting salts. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and FT IR. Structures of the four complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Reaction of allyltribromogermane (2), readily available from dibromo(1,4-dioxane)germanium(II) (1) and allylbromide, with tris(2-tributylstannoxyethyl)-amine (4) gives 1-allylgermatrane (3) in almost quantitative yield. 3 crystallizes from n-pentane as a colourless crystalline solid which was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by an X-ray crystal structure study. The “atrane” skeleton shows a strong conformational disorder; the Ge-N distance of 2.208(3) Å suggests the presence of a coordinative Ge-N bond. Treatment of 1-allylgermatrane (3) with CH2N2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 affords 1-cyclopropylmethylgermatrane (5) in high yield

The crystal structures of magnesium hydrogen citrate dihydrate, Mg(HC6H5O7)(H2O)2, (I), and bis(dihydrogen citrato)magnesium, Mg(H2C6H5O7)2, (II), have been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. In (I), the citrate anion occurs in the trans, trans-conformation, and triply chelates to the Mg cation. In (II), the citrate anion is trans, gauche, and doubly chelates to the Mg cation. In both compounds the Mg cation coordination polyhedron is an octahedron. In (I), the MgO6 coordination polyhedra are isolated, while in (II), they share edges to form chains. Strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds are prominent in the two structures, as well as in the previously reported magnesium citrate decahydrate.

An anionic cadmium tris-dicyanamide compound (Et4N)[Cd(N(CN)2)3]·3/4H2O 1 has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray crystallography. The anions form extended sheets with retention of (4,4) connectivity in the absence of π···π interactions within the cation layers, and with octahedral geometry about individual CdII ions.
