Abstract:
Dissolution of ytterbium metal in liquid ammonia in the presence of carbazole at low temperatures and subsequent treatment with N-phenylpiperazine gives single crystalline [Yb(CbZ)(2)(NH(3))(4)].3Phpip (Cbz(-) = carbazolate anion, C(12)H(8)N(-), Phpip = N-phenylpiperazine, (C(6)H(5))C(4)H(8)NNH). The highly air and moisture sensitive crystals are prone to release ammonia but can be successfully shielded in the interior of large crystals of CbzH.Phpip, a co-crystallization of both ligands, whose crystal structure is also presented. Further heating transforms the monomeric molecules [Yb(CbZ)2(NH3)41 into dimeric [Yb(2)(CbZ)(4)(NH(2))(2)(NH(3))(4)].3CbzH and their condensation accompanied by release of ammonia consequently leads to the coordination polymer (1)(infinity)[Yb(2)(CbZ)(4)]. This reaction path is compared to a high temperature reaction route without electride formation. Synthesis in molten carbazole directly leads to the one-dimensional coordination polymer. Subsequent treatment with N-phenylpiperazinc yields dimeric [Yb(2)(CbZ)(4)(PhPiP)(4)].2Phpip and monomeric [Yb(CbZ)(2)(PhpiP)(3)][Yb(CbZ)(3)(PhPiP)(2)], the final step of the degradation reaction. It can be shown that N-phenylpiperazine functions as chemical scissors at higher temperatures and as crystallization matrix at lower temperatures.
