The reaction of (C2F5)2Te and XeF2 in a slurry of SO2ClF yielded (C2F5)2TeF2 essentially quantitatively. Chlorine and (C2F5)2Te gave (C2F5)2TeCl2. Both (C2F5)2TeF2 and (C2F5)2TeCl2 were assigned a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, on the basis of their 19F nmr and vibrational spectra, with the lone pair and C2F5 groups in equatorial, and the halogens in the axial positions. Perfluoroethyl tellurium trifluoride was prepared essentially quantitatively by the reaction of C2F5TeTeC2F5 and XeF2 in liquid SO2F2. The generally inert SO2ClF was found to react with C2F5TeTeC2F5 to give C2F5TeClxF3−x, and sulphur dioxide. The structure of C2F5TeF3 was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are tetragonal with a = 10.129(4), c = 25.561(6) Å, and Z = 16. The structure was refined in space group I41/a to a conventional R factor of 0.051 for 901 observed reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Each tellurium atom is surrounded by two terminal fluorine atoms and two bridging fluorine atoms and a C2F5 group in an axial position around the apex of a distorted square pyramid. The square-pyramidal units are linked by symmetrical cis bridging atoms into endless chains with bridging angles of 180° and 177°. The geometry of the (C2F5TeF4) group is consistent with steric activity of the non-bonded electron pair. The 19F nmr and Raman spectra of C2F5TeF3 were recorded and the Raman spectrum assigned. Trans-C2F5TeClF4 was prepared by the reaction of C2F5TeTeC2F5, and an excess of ClF. The trans octahedral geometry of C2F5TeClF4 was unambiguously assigned from its 19F nmr and vibrational spectra. A mixture of trans-(C2F5)2TeF4 and trans-C2F5TeClF4 was obtained from the reaction of (C2F5)2Te and an excess of ClF. Trans geometry of (C2F5)2TeF4 was unambiguously assigned from its 19F nmr spectrum.

The structure of the low-temperature polar (orthorhombic) phase of russellite (Bi2WO6) was examined on artificial specimens with precise single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The final atomic arrangement thus obtained was identical to that reported by Knight [Miner. Mag. (1992), 56, 399–409] with powder neutron diffraction. The residual density attributable to a stereochemically-active lone pair of electrons of bismuth was prominent at approximately the centre of a larger cap of BiO8 square antiprisms, that is on the line from the Bi sites to an adjacent WO4 2− slab along the b-axis direction. Quite uneven Bi—O distances and the formation of a vacant coordination hemisphere (within 3 Å) should, therefore, be ascribed to the strong demand of bismuth to form shorter Bi—O bonds to use up its electrostatic charge within its coordination environment. The shift of bismuth along −c propagates via the correlated shift of the W site and these cooperative shifts cause ferroelectricity in the compound. This propagation was easily effected by the intrusion of molecules such as acetone into the structure.

Abstract Formal insertion of phenylethyne into Co-H functions of mer-octahedral acyl(enolato)-cobalt(III) hydrides 1-3 proceeds under ambient conditions affording η1-vinylcobalt(III) compounds where the dianionic acyl(enolato) ligands are derived from 2-formyl-4-phenyl-cyclohexanone (4), 1-formyl-cyclohexan-2-one (5), and 3-hydroxo-2,3-diphenyl-propenal (6). Dissociation and association of trimethylphosphane results in a reversible transformation of penta-coordinate complexes 4 -6 into hexa-coordinate ones 7 -9, respectively, involving different tautomeric vinyl species. In toluene solution 9 rearranges by reductive C,C coupling into a 5,6-η2-olefin(enolato)cobalt(I) complex 10. Trimethylsilylethyne undergoes a hydrolytic desilylation reaction which is followed by reductive C,C-coupling reactions of acyl and vinyl functions selectively producing chelating η1-enolato-5,6-η2-olefin ligands in cobalt(I) com ­ pounds 13 -16 where the (ax,eq)chelating ligands are derived from 1-formyl-cyclohexan-2-one (13), 3-hydroxo-2,3-diphenyl-propenal (14), 2-formyl-α-tetralone (15), and 2-formyl-4-tert-butyl-cyclohexanone (16). An axial position of the enolato-O donor in the trigonal bipyramidal configuration of complex 15 has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. With 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)buta-diyne 1,2-addition in cobalt(III) hydrides 2, 3, 11 (as deriverd from 2-formyl-α-tetralone), and 12 (as derived from 2-formyl-4-tert-butyl-cyclohexanone) produces 2-metalated vinyl groups in compounds 17 -20. Dissociation of trimethylphosphane from 17 and 19 does not activate C,C coupling at the cobalt(III) centre of penta-coordinate 21 and 22. Steric congestion in compounds 17, 18, and 20 favours exchange of trimethylphosphine for carbon monoxide affording the first octahedral carbonyl complexes of cobalt (d6) (23 -25). In the crystal and in solution a meridional configuration is adopted by complex 23 with the CO group in a position opposite to the acyl function.

Reaction of β-mercaptoethanol with vanadate under slightly alkaline conditions provided a crystalline complex that was characterized by X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. The complex was dimeric in structure with a central [VO]2 core and a pentacoordinate, crudely trigonal bipyramidal arrangement about each vanadium atom with a sulphur occupying a pseudo-axial position. A single 51V NMR signal was observed for this complex when dissolved in water, chloroform or acetonitrile. A large influence of acetonitrile on the vanadium chemical shift suggested the possibility of reaction with acetonitrile. FTIR showed the presence of two complexes in acetonitrile solution but only one in chloroform or water. Mixed solvent studies were carried out in an effort to further characterize the solution complexes.

Measurement of the T1 values of the 31P nuclei in the unusual capped trigonal bipyramidal complexes WH(tipt)3(PMe2Ph)2 (1, tipt = SC6H2Pri3-2,4,6) and W(2H)(tipt)3(PMe2Ph)2 allows the determination of the phosphorus–hydride distance of 2.2 ± 0.2 Å and the P-W-H angle of about 62 ± 7°. An approximate location of the hydride on an S2P face is proposed on the basis of steric interactions. The crystal structure of WH(tipt)3-(NC5H5)(PMe2Ph) (2) is reported; the WS3NP core consists of a distorted trigonal bipyramidal system with the phosphine and pyridine ligands axial and the thiolate ligands equatorial. The hydride ligand was not located by X-ray diffraction but can be positioned on an open S2P face at an angle P-W-H of about 65°. The small P-W-H angle results in large 2J(H,P) couplings for 1 and 2. The 1H NMR spectrum of complex 2 is assigned by use of NOE and homodecoupling NMR methods. This complex has the same crowded structure in solution as in the crystalline state. The pyridine ligand, which is sandwiched between two tipt aryl groups, is hindered from rotating around the W—N bond. Keywords: molybdenum, tungsten, thiolate, hydride, NMR, NOE.
