The new compound [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2][CuCl2] (1) (dpa = di-2,2'-pyridylamido) was synthesized by reacting Cr2(dpa)4 and anhydrous CuCl2 in dry tetrahydrofuran. Partial oxidation of Cr2(dpa)4 by Cu(II) forms Cr3+ ions, which coordinate to the free N donor atoms of the dpa ligands, and led to the formation of a trinuclear chain cation [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]+. Recrystallization from CH2Cl2/ethyl ether yielded dark-brown, block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination (Pccn (no. 56), a=1246:8(5), b=1487:3(3), c=2184:8(1) pm, V =4051.6(8) ·106 pm3, Z =4). The crystal structure is composed of discrete [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]+ cations and [CuCl2]- anions. The Cr3 chain comprises quadruply-bonded diamagnetic (Cr2)4+ dimers and a pseudo-octahedrally coordinated, paramagnetic Cr3+ ion, manifesting itself in the effective magnetic moment μeff of 3:54μB (d3, S = 3=2) and the almost ideal Curie-paramagnetic behavior observed between 2 and 300 K with a Weiss constant θ = -0:25(4)K and χ0 = 4:9(7)×10-4 emu mol-1

The mixed-ligand dinuclear complex (2,2'-dipyridyl)-(2-acetylphenolato)copper(II) perchlorate was synthesized and its crystal structures determined. The structure consists of a dimeric unit involving a planar Cu2O2 group. The coordination sphere of the Cu atom can be described as an alongated octahedron where the basal plane is formed by the two N atoms of the 2,2'-dipyridyl molecule and the two O atoms of the acetophenon anion. Two apical Cu - O contacts complete the 4+2 coordination of the Cu atoms. They correspond to one of the O atoms of the perchlorate anion and to the O atom of the second unit. Magnetic susceptibility data obey the Curie-Weiss law with θ = -8.1(2) K. The decreasing of the effective magnetic moment from 1.94(8) μB at 300 K to 1.86(8) μB at 70 K and the negative Weiss constant indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the two copper atoms in the dimeric units.

[FeL(MeOH)Cl]2 (L = N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)salicylaldimine) was synthesized and its crystal structure determined, [C27H20N 2O5Cl2Fe2], monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 9.528(1), b = 7.684(1), c = 18.365(2) Å, β = 109.83(1)°, V = 1264.8 Å3, Z = 2. Two identical [FeL(MeOH)Cl] fragments, related by an inversion centre, are combined by the two bridging O atoms, to form a binuclear unit. The iron(III) centers are separated by 3.163(2) Å and weakly antiferromagnetically coupled (J = -8 .0 (1 ) cm-1), which follows from temperature - dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range 4.2 to 288 K. The effective magnetic moment per iron(III) is μeff = 7.4 μB at 288 K

The nano-crystalline (Fe,Cr)N was prepared as a single phase by milling Fe80Cr20 in a nitrogen atmosphere. Its crystal structure is determined to be the cubic rock salt-type CrN by X-ray diffraction measurements. The nano-crystalline is stable up to above 773 K and decomposes into (Fe,Cr)N and Fe-Cr solid solution. Due to the combination of Fe atoms and N ones, the intrinsic magnetic moment of Fe atoms is reduced, which is confirmed by our measurements.

Abstract Rhenium(VII) nitride chloride, ReNCl4, is prepared by the reaction of ReCl5 with nitrogen trichloride. It forms metallic glazing, hygroscopic needles with an effective magnetic moment of 0.23 B.M. In the mass spectrum only the molecular ion ReNCl4⊕ is present, followed by ReNCl3⊕. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods (space group Il, 265 independent reflexions, R = 0.071). The structure consists of ReNCl4 units, which are linked by strongly alternated Re ≡ N-Re chains with different bond lengths of r Re ≡ N = 158 pm and r Re-N = 248 pm. The structure is very similar to that of WOCl4.

NaSi reacts with MoCl5 and 15-crown-5 in toluene with reduction of Mo(V) to Mo(IV). Work-up in DME yields MoCl4(DME)· 15-crown-5 (1). MoCl4(DME) (2) is prepared more conveniently from MoCl5/DME. 1 and 2 were characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: 1, space group P212121 (No. 19), Z = 4, 2765 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.026, cell dimensions (110 K): a = 16.292(4), b = 12.884(3), c = 10.452(2) Å. 2, space group I4̄2d (No. 122), Z = 8, 558 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.037, cell dimensions (292 K): a = b = 9.562(2), c = 23.777(6)Å. The MoCl4(DME) molecule of 1 and 2 forms a distorted octahedron. There are four non-coordinating 15-crown-5 molecules present in the unit cell of 1. The UV/VIS spectrum and the magnetic properties of 2 are discussed.

AbstractBy using K4[Mo(CN)8] and [Ni(L)(H2O)2][ClO4]2 as reagents (L = 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo [11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),13,15-triene), a new cyanide-bridged Mo–Ni complex containing the building blocks [Ni(H2O)(L)]2+ and [Ni(L)]2+ bridged by [Mo(CN)8]4− units has been obtained. The complex with the formula {[Ni(H2O)(L)][Ni(L)][Mo(CN)8]}6 · 36H2O · 2CH3OH (1) was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure determination reveals an octadecanuclear cluster in the form of a 36-membered macrocycle, in which the largest intramolecular W···W and Ni···Ni distances are 16.5 and 14.4 Å, respectively, indicating that complex 1 is a nanosized molecular wheel. Investigation of its magnetic properties has shown weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent Ni(II) ions bridged by the diamagnetic [Mo(CN)8]4− ions.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

The equilibria and mechanism of addition of protons to the ethylenediphosphinetetraacetate anion (L4-) were studied in solution by the UV, IR, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. A total of six protons can be bonded to the anion. They are added stepwise, first with partial formation of zwitterions containing P-H bonds, which then dissociate with formation of the free acid, H4L, where all four protons are bonded in carboxyl groups. The formation of zwitterions is strongly dependent on the concentration. In the final stage, the acid bonds two additional protons to form the bis-phosphonium cation, H6L2+. A number of isostructural salts containing this cation, H4L.2 HX (X = Cl, Br, I), have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the bromide confirmed the expected arrangement. The bromide crystals are monoclinic, a = 578.2, b = 1 425.0, c = 1 046.7 pm, β = 103.07° with a space group of P21/c, Z = 2. The final R factor was 0.059 based on 1 109 observed reflections. The structure consists of H6L2+ cations containing protons bonded to phosphorus atoms (P-H distance 134 pm) and of bromide anions, located in gaps which are also sufficiently large for I- anions in the isostructural iodide. The interbonding of phosphonium cations proceeds through hydrogen bonds, C-OH...O=C, in which the O...O distance is 275.3 pm.
