Reactions of Beryllium Halides in Liquid Ammonia: The Tetraammineberyllium Cation [Be(NH3)4]2+, its Hydrolysis Products, and the Action of Be2+ as a Fluoride‐Ion Acceptor

Abstract: The first structural characterization of the text-book tetraammineberyllium(II) cation [Be(NH(3))(4)](2+), obtained in the compounds [Be(NH(3))(4)](2)Cl(4)⋅17NH(3) and [Be(NH(3))(4)]Cl(2), is reported. Through NMR spectroscopic and quantum chemical studies, its hydrolysis products in liquid ammonia were identified. These are the dinuclear [Be(2)(μ-OH)(NH(3))(6)](3+) and the cyclic [Be(2)(μ-OH)(2)(NH(3))(4)](2+) and [Be(3)(μ-OH)(3)(NH(3))(6)](3+) cations. The latter species was isolated as the compound [Be(3)(μ… Show more

“…The Be-N bond lengths of the [Be(ND 3 [12] for [Be(iPr-N=C=N-iPr) 4 ] 2+ at 1.734(6) Å, [13] for [Be(Me-Im) 4 ] 2+ (Me-Im = Nmethylimidazole) at 1.703(3) Å, [14] for [Be(SPh) 2 (py)(NH 3 )] 2 -(18-crown-6) at 1.724(4) and 1.731(4) Å, [15,16] and [Be(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2+ at 1.725(1)-1.733(3) Å. [8] The N-Be-N angles observed are close to the tetrahedral ones and are between 106.9 (10) (1) and 109.6(1)°. [8] The N-D distances are in the Table 4.…”

“…The formation of two liquid phases has been observed previously, [3] and it seems that traces of moisture lead to the phase separation. [8] Very temperature-and moisture-sensitive colourless crystals of the composition [Be(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2 Cl 4 ·17NH 3 were grown at -40°C from this liquid ammonia solution as evidenced by X-ray crystal structure analysis, Equation (1). [8] 2 [6,9] the N-H stretching vibrations are more redshifted by approximately 50 cm -1 .…”
