Abstract

Tris(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)chromium(III) tetrahydrofuran solvate, Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF; Chlorobis(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)chromium(III)tetrahydrofuran solvate, CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF and dichloro(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy) chromium(III) tetrahydrofuran solvate, CrCl2(OCH2CCl3) ·THF have been prepared. These compounds react with various oxygen and nitrogen donor ligands to form adducts of 1:2 composition. 2,2,2-trichloroethoxy bridged structures have been proposed on the basis of their infrared and1H nmr spectra. The diffuse reflectance spectral results are consistent with an octahedral geometry for chromium(III) whereas their low magnetic moment values suggest polymeric structures exhibiting antiferromagnetic coupling between chromium(III) atoms. The mass spectral data of Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF and CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF support the dimeric structures for these complexes.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde Tris(2,2,2-trichlorethoxy)chrom(III)-tetrahydrofuransolvat, Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF, Chlorbis(2,2,2-trichlorethoxy)chrom(III)tetrahydrofuransolvat, CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF, und Dichlor(2,2,2-trichlorethoxy)chrom(III)tetrahydrofuransolvat, CrCl2(OCH2CCl3 ·THF, hergestellt. Diese Verbindungen reagieren mit verschiedenen Sauerstoff- und Stickstoffdonorliganden unter Bildung von Addukten mit der Zusammensetzung 1:2. Basierend auf IR- und1H-NMR-Daten wurden 2,2,2-trichlorethoxyüberbrückte Strukturen vorgeschlagen. Die Resultate aus Diffuse-Reflectance-Messungen sind mit einer oktaedrischen Geometrie um Cr(III) in Übereinstimmung, während die niedrigen Werte für die magnetischen Momente polymere Strukturen mit antiferromagnetischer Kopplung zwischen den Chrom(III)-Atomen nahelegen. Die massenspektroskopischen Daten für Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF und CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF sprechen für eine dimere Struktur dieser Komplexe.
