Abstract
- Octahedral clusters of the [M6X12] type offer numerous possibilities to form structural arrangements through different choices of bonding situations. In this paper a series of new cluster compounds of the transition metal niobium is described, which consist of the [Nb6Cl18]2–, and in one case [Nb6Cl18]3–, anion and protonated N‐base cations ([MIm‐H]+, [nPr3N‐H]+, [TMGu‐H]+, and [Tzn‐H]+). They all are prepared using water scavenger compounds [SOCl2 or (Ac)2O] under oxidising conditions, resulting in two‐electron (or one‐electron, respectively) oxidized cluster units with respect to the starting material [Nb6Cl14(H2O)4]·4H2O. Of five members of this group single‐crystal X‐ray structures were determined. The cluster anions exist in all structures as discrete units. The acidic H atoms of all N‐bases are hydrogen bonded to H acceptors, in 4 cases to outer, exo bonded Cl atoms of the cluster unit and in one case to the O atom of a co‐crystallized THF molecule. In [TMGu‐H]2[Nb6Cl18] chains of cluster anions exist hydrogen‐bonded through bridging [TMGu‐H]+ cations. ESI mass spectra of [MIm‐H]2[Nb6Cl18]·2SOCl2 and [TMGu‐H]2[Nb6Cl18] show the expected isotopic distribution patterns for the anions together with other peaks associated to chloride mass losses and/or reduction processes.
