The characteristic electronic spectrum of the nitrite ion survives when the ion is bonded to metal ions through the oxygen atoms. The vibrational fine structure associated with the n → π* electronic transition in the near uv region has been examined at 10 K in single crystals of K3[Hg(O2N)4](NO3) and in a series of nickel complexes with N-alkylated ethylenediamines. When either non-coordinated, monodentate oxygen coordinating, or bidentate chelating through oxygen, nitrite ion in the crystals shows vibronic features which depend on nitrite environment. It is suggested that the electronic spectra of the nitrite ion may constitute a useful tool in structure elucidation.

The crystal and molecular structures of the complexes [Ni(mstien),(NO2)(H2O)] ClO4 and [Ni(mstien)2(O2N)] Cl are reported (mstien = meso-stilbenediamine, 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-di-amine). Both compounds contain nickel(II) in an essentially octahedral ligand environment. In the latter complex, the nitrite ion chelates, while in the former it is present as a nitro group situated trans to a coordinated water molecule. In both complexes the conformations observed for the amine chelate rings can be rationalized on the basis that they minimize intramolecular ligand repulsions. The complex [Ni(mstien)2(O2N)] NO2 is isomorphous with the analogous chloride compound, and spectral evidence suggests that the complex [Ni(mstien)2(O2N)] ClO4 also contains a chelating nitrite group. The electronic spectra of single crystals of [Ni(mstien),(O2N)] X (X = Cl- and NO2-) show bands centred at c. 25000 cm-l which exhibit vibrational fine structure. The energies of the progressional spacings are c.600cm-l, which suggests that the bands are probably due to n → π* internal nitrite transitions. The band centred at c. 20500 cm-1 in [Ni(mstien)2(NO2)(H2O)] ClO4 also shows well resolved vibrational fine structure with a progressional spacing of c. 630 cm-1. This implies that the band is not due to a 'd-d' transition, but must be caused by the excitation of an electron into the nitrite π* orbital, either from a non-bonding nitrite orbital, or more probably from the nickel ion.

Complexes of the type M(py)4(SO3F)2 (py = pyridine, M = Ni, Cu, Zn) have been prepared and characterized. Infrared spectra of all three complexes, electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility studies of the copper and nickel complexes, and e.p.r. studies of the copper complex are reported. The complexes have tetragonally distorted octahedral structures with fluorosulfate groups coordinated to metal ions as unidentate ligands. To facilitate comparison of the coordinating action of the fluorosulfate ion with other polyatomic anions the complexes, Cu(py)4X2 (X = ClO4−, BF4−, NO3−, p-CH3C6H4SO3−, CF3CO2−) have been prepared and their electronic properties examined. The studies indicate that the coordinating strength of SO3F− towards metals is greater than ClO4−, BF4−, and NO3− but less than p-CH3C6H4SO3− and CF3CO2−. Electrical conductivity studies on solutions in acetonitrile indicate a correlation between the relative coordinating strength of the anion in a given complex and the extent to which the complex undergoes ionic dissociation in this solvent.

AbstractThe evaporation of a solution of Au(OH)3 and Na2So4 in conc. sulfuric acid led to yellow single crystals of NaAu(SO4)2 (monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 2, a = 469.1, b = 845.9, c = 831.2 pm, β = 95.7°). Analogous procedures with K2SO4 or Rb2SO4 instead of Na2SO4 yielded single crystals of KAu(SO4)2 (monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1109.8, b = 724.2, c = 941.1 pm, β = 118.4°) and RbAu(S04)2, respectively, (triclinic, P1̄, Z = 1, a = 423.6, b = 497.5, c = 889.0 pm, a = 76.4°, β = 88.4°, γ = 73.5°). Although the crystal structures of the three sulfates are not isotypic they show similar structural features: The gold atoms are coordinated by four oxygen atoms in a square planar manner. These oxygen atoms belong to four SO42- ions which link the [AUO4] units to infinite chains according to 1∞[Au(SO4)4/ 2]- . These chains are connected via the monovalent cations which show coordination numbers of 6 (Na+), 10 (K+) and 12 (Rb+), respectively.

Metal complexes of a 20-membered tetraazamacrocycle 2,12-dimethyl-3,13-di-n-propyl 1,4,11,14-tetraazacycloeicosa-1,3,11,13-tetraene(L) of the type [MLX2]X(M=Cr(III), Fe(III); X=NO3)[CoLNO3]NO3, [NiL(NO3)2], [CuL]Cl2 and [ZnLCl2]have been prepared by 2+2 cyclocondensation of 2,3-hexanedione with 1,6-diaminohexane in the presence of metal ions as templates. These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductances, IR and electronic spectra and magnetic measurements.

Triclinic single crystals of Cu2(H2O)4[C4H4N2][C6H2(COO)4]·2H2O have been grown in anaqueous silica gel. Space group P-1 (Nr. 2), a = 723.94(7) pm, b = 813.38(14) pm, c = 931.0(2) pm, α = 74.24(2)°, β = 79.24(2)°, γ = 65.451(10)°, V = 0.47819(14) nm3, Z = 1. Cu2+ is coordinated in a distorted, octahedral manner by two water molecules, three oxygen atoms ofthe pyromellitate anions and one nitrogen atom of pyrazine (Cu—O 194.1(2)–229.3(3) pm;Cu–N 202.0(2) pm). The connection of Cu2+ and [C6H2(COO)4)]4− yields infinite strands,which are linked by pyrazine molecules to form a two-dimensional coordination polymer.Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the dehydrated compound was stable between175 and 248 °C. Further heating yielded CuO.

AbstractSingle crystals of EA[Q(NO2)2O4] · 4H2O (EA = Ca. Sr) were grown in aqueous silicagel. Ca2+ has CN 8. It is surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms of two bis-chelating [C6(NO2)2O4]2- ions and 4 water molecules, which form a distorted, bi-capped trigonal prism. Sr2+ is coordinated similarly, with an additional water molecule joining the coordination sphere to yield CN 8+1. Corrugated chains extending along [010] and consisting of EA2+ and nitranilate ions are the main feature of the crystal structure. Adjacent chains are interlinked by hydrogen bonds.
