چکیده
Treatment of a tetrahydrofuran solution of CrCl2(thf) with Na(hfac), hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate, followed by crystallization from diethyl ether, affords the six-coordinate chromium(II) complex Cr(hfac)2(thf)2. The crystal structures of Cr(hfac)2(thf)2 and the chromium(III) complex Cr(hfac)3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cr(hfac)2(thf)2 adopts a trans octahedral geometry, in which the Cr–O(hfac) and Cr–O(thf) distances are 1.936(3) and 2.019(6) Å, respectively. Cr(hfac)3 is an octahedral compound with a Cr–O distance of 1.943(5) Å. Structural comparisons with related molecules are given. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of the homoleptic octahydrotriborate complex Cr(B3H8)2 and its Lewis base adducts.
Solvate-free sodium octahydrotriborate, NaB3H8, is prepared on a 20 gram scale from sodium amalgam and diborane in diethyl ether. This substance, which is chemically related to borohydride-based compounds being investigated as hydrogen storage materials, is also useful for the preparation of transition-metal complexes bearing B3H8 ligands. Treatment of CrCl3 with NaB3H8 affords a thermally unst...

Comproportionation of the platinum(0) complex Pt(PMe3)4 with the platinum(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate complexes Pt(hfac)2 or [Pt(hfac)(PMe3)2][hfac] yields diplatinum species of stoichiometry [Pt2(μ-hfac)(PMe3)4][hfac], 1, and [Pt2(PMe3)6][hfac]2, 2, respectively. The NMR spectra and X-ray crystal structure of 1 show that the two platinum centers are chemically inequivalent; one is a square-p...

Oxidative substitution reactions of chromium(II) chloride with lithium phenoxide in the presence of water give access to new polynuclear chromium(III) aryloxide complexes and coordination polymers. While a one-dimensional coordination polymer based on chromium(III), [Cr2(μ3-OPh)2(μ-OPh)6(μ-OH)(μ3-Li)4(μ3-Cl)2Li(THF)6]n, is first obtained by serendipity, the controlled addition of water to the i...
