The dinuclear mol­ecule of the title compound, [Mo2(C9H13)2(CO)6] or [Mo(tBuCp)(CO)3]2 where tBu and Cp are tert-butyl and cyclo­penta­dienyl, is centrosymmetric and is characterized by an Mo—Mo bond length of 3.2323 (3) Å. Imposed by inversion symmetry, the tBuCp and the carbonyl ligands are in a transoid arrangement to each other. In the crystal, inter­molecular C—H⋯O contacts lead to the formation of layers parallel to the bc plane. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reaction of copper(I) iodide in pure 2-chloro-pyrazine leads to the formation of a few crystals of the title compound, [Cu2I2(C4H3ClN2)4] or (CuI)2(2-chloro-pyrazine)4, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In its crystal structure, the CuI cations are each tetra-hedrally coordinated by two iodide anions and two 2-chloro-pyrazine ligands and are linked into binuclear complexes consisting of (CuI)2 rings located on centers of inversion. PXRD investigations of a few crystals obtained from the suspension indicate that the title compound is contaminated with a small amount of the 2-chloro-pyrazine-deficient compound CuI(2-chloro-pyrazine) already reported in the literature. PXRD investigations prove that the title compound immediately decomposes at room temperature into CuI(2-chloro-pyrazine) and this might be the reason why no pure samples can be obtained. TDA-TG-MS investigations shows two mass losses, the first of which corresponds to the formation of CuI(2-chloro-pyrazine), whereas in the second mass loss CuI is formed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reaction of the hexa­thia­pyrazino­phane ligand, 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa­thia-[9.9](2,6,3,5)-pyrazino­phane (L1), with copper(II) dibromide led to the formation of a binuclear complex, [μ2-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa­thia-[9.9](2,6,3,5)-pyrazino­phane]bis­[bromi­docopper(II)] dibromide, [Cu2Br2(C16H24N2S6)]Br2, (I). The complex possesses inversion symmetry with the pyrazine ring being situated about a center of symmetry. The ligand coordinates to the copper(II) atom in a bis-tetra­dentate manner and the copper atom has a fivefold NS3Br coordination environment with a distorted shape. The reaction of ligand L1 with copper(I) iodide also gave a binuclear complex, which is bridged by a Cu2I2 unit to form a two-dimensional coordination polymer, poly[[μ2-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexa­thia-[9.9](2,6,3,5)-pyrazino­phane]tetra-μ-iodido-tetra­copper(I)], [Cu4I4(C16H24N2S6)]n, (II). The binuclear unit possesses inversion symmetry with the pyrazine ring being located about a center of symmetry. The Cu2I2 unit is also located about an inversion center. The two independent copper(I) atoms are both fourfold coordinate. That coordinating to the ligand L1 in a bis-tridentate manner has an NS2I coordination environment and an irregular shape, while the second copper(I) atom, where L1 coordinates in a bis-monodentate manner, has an SI3 coordination environment with an almost perfect tetra­hedral geometry. In the crystal of I, the cations and Br− anions are linked by a number of C—H···S and C—H···Br hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular network. In the crystal of II, the two-dimensional coordination polymers lie parallel to the ab plane and there are no significant inter-layer contacts present. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title complex, [Lu2(C17H28O4P)6]·2C7H16, was formed in the reaction between potassium 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl­phenyl ethyl phosphate, [K(2,6-tBu2-4-MeC6H2-O)(EtO)PO2], and LuCl3(H2O)6 in water, followed by vacuum drying and recrystallization from heptane. Its crystal structure has triclinic (P) symmetry at 120 K. The lutetium tris­(phosphate) complex has a binuclear [Lu2(μ-OPO)4] core and the organophosphate ligand exhibits κ2O,O′ terminal and μ2-κ1O:κ1O′ bridging coordination modes with the LuIII ion being sixfold coordinated. The complex is of inter­est as a precatalyst in the acrylo­nitrile polymerization process and displays good catalytic activity under mild conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reaction of Cp(CO)2FeI with 2-ethynylpyridine under Sonogashira conditions [5% PdCl2(PPh3)2, 10% CuI, THF-NEt3 (2:1)] afforded the title binuclear μ-pyridylvinylidene FePd complex (FePd1) as a benzene solvate, [FePd(C5H5)(C7H5N)I(CO)2]·C6H6, in a very low yield rather than the expected iron o-pyridylethynyl complex Cp(CO)2Fe-C≡C-(2-C5H4N). The Fe and Pd atoms in FePd1 are bridged by carbonyl and pyridylvinylidene ligands, the pyridyl N atom being bonded to the palladium atom. The use of equimolar amounts of PdCl2 increases the yield of FePd1 to 12%. The reaction pathway leading to FePd1 is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
