Synthese und Untersuchung von kohlenstoff‐ und stickstoffzentrierten (Z) trigonal‐prismatischen Wolframclustern des Formeltyps A[W6ZCl18

Abstract

AbstractSynthesis and Characterization of Carbon‐ and Nitrogen‐Centered (Z) Trigonal Prismatic Tungsten Clusters of the Formula Type A[W6ZCl18]Solid state reactions of tungsten(IV) chloride and carbodiimides (cyanamides) of lithium, sodium, calcium and silver yielded black crystalline powders of centered (Z) trigonal‐prismatic tungsten cluster compounds having the general formula A[W6ZCl18] with A = Li, Na, Ca, Ag and Z = C, N. Crystal structures of the corresponding compounds were investigated by powder and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The nature of the central atom was studied by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. It turned out that the central atom can be C (in the case of the lithium and sodium compound) or N (in the case of the sodium and calcium compound).
