Silicon tetrafluoride and hydrazine react in a vacuum to produce a white, non-volatile, solid, 1:2 complex, SiF4.2N2H4. This compound sublimes with decomposition above 200° and is insoluble in common organic solvents. It reacts with (a) 55% hydrofluoric acid, (b) anhydrous hydrogen chloride, (c) ethylenediamine, (d) ammonia, and (e) boron trifluoride, producing: (a) (N2H5+)2SiF62−, (b) N2H5+Cl−, (c) SiF4.NH2(CH2)2NH2, (d) SiF4.2NH3, and (e) BF3.N2H4. A comparison of the infrared spectra of SiF4.2NH3, SiF4.2N2H4, and SiF4.NH2(CH2)2NH2 suggests that all three complexes have cis octahedral structure.

Solutions of 2-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (rnep) with excess copper(II) salts in organic solvents yielded complexes of the formula Cu(mep)X2 (X = NO3, Cl, Br, I). These were non-electrolytes in nitrobenzene. When excess rnep was present bis- complexes of the type Cu(mep)2Cl2,6H2O, Cu(mep)2/sub>(NO3)2,H2O, and hydrated forms of the type Cu(mep)2XClO4 (X = Cl, NO3) were obtained. These were 1 : 1 electrolytes in nitrobenzene and the copper(II) ion was at least five-coordinated with the donor nitrogen atoms taking up a flattened tetrahedral arrangement. Hydrated copper(II) perchlorate with rnep in a 1 : 2 or 1 : 1 ratio yielded Cu(mep)2(ClO4)2,2H2O which is a 2 : 1 electrolyte in nitrobenzene. From a water solution of copper nitrate and rnep in the ratio 1 : 3.5, a complex Cu(mep)3(ClO>sub>4)2 precipitated upon the addition of a sodium perchlorate solution. I t was thought previously that this compound did not exist. The magnetic susceptibilities, the conductivities, and the visible, absorption, and infrared spectra of some rnep complexes have been obtained and structures are proposed from this information.

Addition of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) in organic solvents to aqueous solutions of silver(1) salts yielded mono complexes represented by AgXdmp, where X = NO3, Cl, Br, I; 2X = SO4, and bis complexes Ag(dmp),Y, where Y = NO3, Cl04. Water of crystallization was present only in the sulphate. The mono complexes were empirically three-coordinate. Low solubility prevented the determination of molecular weights. Infrared spectra indicated that the polyatomic anions were covalently bound. The 1 : 1 electrolyte [Ag(dmp)(py)]ClO4 subsequently prepared seemed to be an example of three-coordination. The bis complexes were 1 : 1 electrolytes in nitrobenzene and were most likely tetrahedral.

The magnetic susceptibilities, conductivities, and infrared spectra of some complexes of copper and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) have been obtained. The magnetic moments of the copper(II) compounds lie in the range 1.9 to 2.0 B.M. Complexes of formula CudmpX2, where X = NO3, Cl, and Br, are nonelectrolytes in nitrobenzene. The substances Cu(dmp)2X2H2O and hydrated forms of the compounds Cu(dmp)2XClO4, where X = NO3, Cl, and Br behave as 1 : 1 electrolytes. The copper(II) ion in the bis complexes is at least five-coordinate and it is proposed that the donor nitrogen atoms take up a flattened tetrahedral arrangement. The complexes of formula Cu(dmp)2X, where X = NO3, ClO4, Cl, Br. I, and I3 are diamagnetic solids, 1 : 1 electrolytes in nitrobenzene, and are expected to have a tetrahedral arrangement of the four donor nitrogen atoms about the copper atom. The mono complexes CudmpX, where X = Cl, Br, and I are diamagnetic, practically insoluble in organic solvents, and probably dimeric with a tetrahedral arrangement of the ligand donor atoms.
