Protodesilylation of diphenylsilane with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and subsequent reaction of the obtained bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)silane with tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium (1) (molar ratio 1:2) afforded bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (8). Methyl-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (3) and phenyl-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]silane (10) were obtained by coupling reactions of 1 with MeHSiCl2 or PhHSiCl2, respectively, (2:1). By treatment with HCBr3, the H-silanes 3, 8, and10 were converted into the bromosilanes [(Me3Si)3Si]2SiR1R2 (9: R1 = R2 = Br; 11: R1 = Me, R2 = Br; 12: R1 = Ph, R2 = Br). X-ray crystal structure analyses, performed for 3, 10 and 12, confirmed the expected distortions of the molecular skeletons of the compounds. Thus, e.g., in 10, the spatial demand of the two extended hemispherical hypersilyl groups forces a widening of the Si-Si-Si angle at the central Si atom to a value of 128.3°.Key words: silanes, sterically congested, bis(hypersilyl)silanes, hypersilylsilanes, bis(hypersilyl)germanes, tris(trimethylsilyl)silylsilanes.

A series of trifluoromethyl-substituted 3-alkoxypyridinol derivatives has been deprotected to furnish pyridine-3,4-diol derivatives in good yields. The X-ray crystal structure analysis proved that a 1:1 mixture of pyridine-3,4-diols and their pyridin-4-one tautomers exist in the solid state. Subsequent conversion into bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonate)s were smoothly achieved. The obtained compounds were used as substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. Fluorescence measurements of the biscoupled products showed a maximum of emission in the violet region of the spectrum.

Abstract Treatment of tris[(triphenylphosphine)gold(I)]-sulfonium tetrafluoroborate with AgBF4 (molar ratio 2:1) in tetrahydrofuran affords a hepta-nuclear mixed-metal cluster trication {[(Ph3P)6Au6AgS2](thf)}3+ as the tetrafluorobor­ate salt. The crystal structure of the compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The sil­ver atom is found in a bridging position between the two Au3S units with short contacts to both sulfur atoms and to three out of six gold atoms. The coordination sphere of the silver atom is complemented by a tetrahydrofuran molecule. In di(tri)chlorom ethane solutions there is rapid site exchange of the silver coordination as shown by virtual equivalence of the phosphine ligands on the NMR time scale at ambient temperature.

Monophasic La6C2Br9 was prepared by heating a mixture of LaBr3, lanthanum metal and carbon in a molar ratio of 3 : 3 : 2 at 840 °C for 5 d. The crystal structure was investigated by X-ray single crystal diffraction (space group C2/c, a = 14.234(3), b = 10.858(2), c = 14.588(3) Å , β = 106.80(3) °). In the structure the La atoms form edge-sharing double tetrahedra. The La tetrahedra are centered by single carbon atoms. The yellow crystals of La6C2Br9 are transparent and electrically insulating.

The reaction of 2,2′-dipyridil with iodine (I2; molar ratio 1:3) in CH2Cl2 solution yields the polymeric complex 2,2′-dipyridil(I2)3. The crystal structure of the compound was determined from single crystal X-ray data (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 3215.0(16), b = 439.9(1), c = 1824.1(9) pm, β = 130.79(3)°, Z = 4).2,2′-Dipyridil(I2)3 forms infinite chains of alternating I6 units and bifunctional dipyridil molecules

Reaction of petroleum ether solutions of [(dtbpe)Ni]2(η2,µ-C6H6) (1, dtbpe = 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane) with triphenylphosphine under a dinitrogen atmosphere gives the Ni(0) dinitrogen adduct (dtbpe)Ni(N2)(PPh3) (2), which can be isolated as dark red crystals in 87% yield. The X-ray crystal structure of 2 reveals pseudotetrahedral geometry about Ni and a terminal dinitrogen ligand with Ni—N(1) = 1.830(2) Å, N(1)—N(2) = 1.112(2) Å, and Ni-N(1)-N(2) = 177.5(2)°. Key words: dinitrogen, nickel, X-ray.

The zwitterionic λ5Si-tetrafluorosilicates F4SiCH2NMe2H (1) and F4SiCH2NMe3 (2) behave as Lewis acids and react with [Me3NH]F (molar ratio 1:1) in aqueous solution to yield the ionic λ6Si-pentafluorosilicates [Me3NH][F5SiCH2NMe2H] (3) and [Me3NH][F5SiCH2NMe3] (4), respectively. These hexacoordinate silicon compounds contain singly charged λ6Si-silicate anions ([F5SiCH2NMe2H]- , [F5SiCH2NMe3]- ) with an SiF5C skeleton. Compounds 3 and 4 were isolated as the crystalline hydrates 3·H2O (yield 80%) and 4·H2O (yield 82%) which were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Si-coordination polyhedra in the crystals of 3·H2O and 4·H2O are slightly distorted octahedra

Reaction of ozone with (PPh4)2[As2Cl8] in CH2C12 at low temperatures yields a red compound, possibly an ozonide. Upon evaporation of the solvent at –78 °C the ozone is released again. At -40 °C or above a subsequent reaction yields PPh4[AsCl6], PPh4Cl · H3AsO4, and other products. The crystal structure of PPh4Cl · H3AsO3 was determined by X-ray diffraction (4253 observed reflexions, R = 0.031). It is triclinic, space group P1̅, and consists of H3AsO4 molecules joined to dimer units via H bridges and associated via O–H · · · Cl- bridges to strands. The packing of the PPh4+ ions is discussed. Products of the reaction of (PPh4)2[Sb2Cl8] with ozone in CH2C12 are PPh4[SbCl6] and (PPh4)2[SbOCl4]2 · 2 CH2Cl2.

K49T1108 was prepared from the elements (molar ratio K: Tl = 1:2) at 700 K. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods (a = 1728.7(1) pm, Pm 3, Z = 1, R = 0.086). It contains T112 icosahedra and Tl12 truncated tetrahedra (Kasper polyhedra). 20 truncated tetrahedra form Tl84-polyhedra (Samson polyhedra) by sharing hexagonal faces. These polyhedra are connected by common edges. Folded Tl13-chains connect the icosahedra and the Samson polyhedra to a framework. The truncated tetrahedra are occupied by potassium atoms.

Starting from elemental powders, simultaneous synthesis and compaction of SiC were conducted at 3 GPa pressure and temperatures in the range 2100–2900 K. The sintered compacts were characterized by x-ray diffraction, microhardness measurements, and microscopic studies. The efficiency of formation of SiC was dependent on the particle size of the silicon powder, crystallinity of the reactant carbon, molar ratio of silicon and carbon, and synthesis temperature and time. Carbon in excess of the stoichiometric amount was required to obtain compacts free from residual silicon. The SiC samples, with a Si: C molar ratio 1: 1.05, prepared at 2100 K for 300 s had a density and hardness of 3.21 g/cm3 (98.8% of theoretical density) and 22 GPa, respectively. The crystal structure of the SiC depended on the synthesis temperature. Pure β–SiC in the temperature range 2100–2500 K, and a mixture of α– and β–SiC above 2500 K were obtained. The β–SiC was highly crystalline and nearly defect-free.

Three compounds containing the tetrachlorohydroxotellurate(IV) anion, [Formula: see text] K[TeCl4(OH)]•0.5H2O, and K[TeCl4(OH)], have been prepared. The crystal structure of K[TeCl4(OH)]•0.5H2O has been determined. The structure contains isolated square pyramidal TeCl4(OH)− anions with OH axial. Vibrational spectroscopy shows that [Formula: see text] and K[TeCl4(OH)]•0.5H2O both contain isolated anions but that, in K[TeCl4(OH)], the anion is polymerized with chloride bridging. The hydroxo group, like the fluoro group, acts to hinder coordination at the site trans to it on Te(IV). Key words: tellurium(IV) complexes, chlorotellurate(IV), X-ray structure, vibrational spectroscopy.
