Syntheses and crystal structures of manganese, nickel and zinc chloride complexes with dimethoxyethane and di(2-methoxyethyl) ether
摘要:
Reactions of manganese and zinc chloride with dimethoxyethane (DME) in the presence of (CH(3))(3)SiCl and water resulted in [MnCl(2)(DME)](n) (1) with a polymeric chain structure and in the molecular [ZnCl(2)(DME)](2) (2), respectively. The complexes 1 and 2 reacted with di(2-methoxyethyl) ether (abbreviated diglyme) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent achieving binuclear [MnCl(2)(diglyme)](2) (3) and mononuclear [ZnCl(2)(diglyme)] (4), respectively. The complex [NiCl(2)(diglyme)](2) (5) was prepared by the reaction of nickel chloride hexahydrate, diglyme and (CH(3))(3)SiCI in THF solvent. A distorted octahedral geometry was found for manganese and nickel ions in the complexes 1,3 and 5. Linear chains of manganese ions linked by double chloride bridges are present in 1. Two bridging chlorides connect two manganese or nickel atoms into isostructural binuclear molecules 3 and 5, respectively. Two zinc ions in the complex 2 are in different environments, in a tetrahedral and in an octahedral one, while five-coordinate zinc ions are present in the mononuclear complexes 4.
