The Use of Polarizable [AuX2(CN)2] (X = Br, I) Building Blocks Toward the Formation of Birefringent Coordination Polymers

Abstract: The [(n)Bu(4)N][AuX(2)(CN)(2)] (X = Br, I) salts were synthesized and structurally characterized. Both feature square-planar [AuX(2)(CN)(2)](-) anions, with trans cyano and halo ligands, which aggregate via halogen-halogen interactions. The aggregation of [AuX(2)(CN)(2)](-) units results in the parallel alignment of all of the Br-Au-Br moieties in the anions along the [110] and [110] directions. Two crystal habits of [(n)Bu(4)N][AuBr(2)(CN)(2)] were grown: with (110) and (001) as the primary faces. The birefri… Show more

“…They consist of the three bidentate ligands L which are chelate coordinated to Fe(II) atom, resulting in a distorted octahedral arrangement. The averaged Fe-N bond distances (1.965(6) and 1.969(6) Å, respectively), bite N-Fe-N angles (81.7(4) and 82.7(2)°, respectively) and opposite (trans) N-Fe-N angles (176(1) and 175(1)°, respectively) in (1) and (2) are very similar and correspond to values observed in other low-spin bipyridine-or phenanthroline iron(II) complexes[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Bond lengths and angles within the individual aromatic rings of the neutral ligands L are close to those found in other structures, too.…”

“…are two extremely well studied metal complexes[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] thus we describe their structures only briefly. They consist of the three bidentate ligands L which are chelate coordinated to Fe(II) atom, resulting in a distorted octahedral arrangement.…”

“…It is noteworthy that the specific halogen-halogen interactions previously found in organohalogen crystals [22][23][24] were also revealed in the structures of coordination compounds [10,[25][26][27][28]. The nature and strength of these interactions are still under discussions, which point out on their important role as constituents of supramolecular crystal structure.…”

“…[44] Metal complexes are of particular interest because of the possibilities of using halogen bonds as a tool in the modification of the redox, magnetic, optical, and chemical reactivity of the metal complexes. [44][45][46] The palladium pincer complex {2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]-phenyl}palladium (PCPPd) halides, PCPPdX (X=Cl, Br, or I) have been studied by Johnson and Rissanen as the XB acceptor in systems with I2 as XB donor. [47] The all three crystal structures have similar basic features (Fig.…”

“…[74]It has also been used for selective recognition of halide anions and employed in host-guest systems. [23] There are examples of the use of halogen bonding for controlling the luminescent properties of Au2-Ag2 clusters and the birefringence properties of chains of square planar Au complexes [45,75]. There are also examples of the utilization of halogen bonding in catalysis.…”
