Vibrational Spectra and Crystal Structures of Tris- and Tetrakis(ethylenethiourea)copper(I) Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a room-temperature redetermination of the crystal structure of [Cu(SC(NHCH2)2)3]2 (SO4) has been carried out, recorded in communication format in space group Ic, Z = 4, seemingly with the full formula as the asymmetric unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, X-Ray Crystal Structure and Reactivity of [(tmeda)(p-tolyl)Pd(μ2-I)AgL], an Unusual Silver Iodide Complex; Reversible CO Insertion into the Pd-C Bond of [Pd(PPh3)(p-tolyl)L] (L– = [(C5H5)Co{P(OR)2O}3]–, R = Me, Pri)

TL;DR: The palladium iodide complex [PdI(p-tolyl)(tmeda)] and the silver salt AgLOR in the absence of PPh3 form an unusual adduct that contains a short silver-iodide bond (Ag-I 2 · 703(1) A).
Journal ArticleDOI

The addition of small molecules to (η-C5H5)2Rh2(CO)(CF3C2CF3): IV. The sunlight assisted making and breaking of alkene CH bonds on the dirhodium centre; the crystal and molecular structures of (η-C5H5)2Rh2(CHCHCN){C(CF3)CF3)H} · H2O and (η-C5H5)2Rh2(CHCF2){C(CF3)C(CF3)H}

TL;DR: In this article, a bis-alkenyl complex of the type (η-C5H5)2RH2(alkene − H)(alkyne + H) is obtained when the alkyne complex (α, β) is treated with the following alkenes: H 2CCH2, H2CCHCN, RHC, MeHC, CN, CN and norbornene.

Oxidation of organometallic complexes by water: Synthesis of diorgano(hydroxo)platinum(IV) complexes and the structure of a diorgano(aqua)platinum(IV) complex of tris(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, [PtPh2{(py)3COHN,N′,N″}(OH2)][NO3)2 · H2O

TL;DR: The diorganoplatinum(II) complexes PtR 2 {(py) 3 COH} (R = Me, Ph; (py)3 COH = tris(pyridin-2-yl)methanol) react with water in organic solvents to form Diorgano(hydroxo)platinum(IV) cations [Pt(OH)R 2 ǫ 2 ] 2 · H 2 O] +, and the cation with R = Ph reacts with dilute nitric acid to form [P
