Abstract

Reactions of the organotin selenide chloride clusters [(R Sn ) Se Cl] (A, R =CMe CH C(O)Me) or [(R Sn ) Se ] (B) with [Cu(PPh ) Cl ] yield cluster compounds with different inorganic, mixed-valence core structures: [Cu Sn Sn Se ], [Cu Sn Sn Se Cl ], [Cu Sn Sn Se ], [Cu Sn Sn Se Cl ], and [Cu Sn Se ]. Five of the compounds, namely [(CuPPh ) {(R Sn ) Se }] (1), [(CuPPh ) Sn {(R Sn ) Se } ] (2), [(CuPPh ) (Sn Cl) {(RSn ) Se } ] (3) [(CuPPh ) (Sn Cu ){(R Sn ) Se } ] (4), and [Cu(CuPPh )(Sn Cu ){(R Sn ) Se } ] (5) are structurally closely related. They are based on [(CuPPh ) {(RSn ) Se } ] aggregates comprising [(RSn ) Se ] and [CuPPh ] building units, which are linked by further metal atoms. A sixth compound, [(CuPPh ) (Sn Cl) {(R Sn Cl)Se } ] (6), differs from the others by containing [(RSn Cl)Se ] units instead, which affects the absorption properties. The compounds were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR and Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy, DFT calculations as well as optical absorption experiments.

Copper

See more Copper products. Copper Bohr Model Copper (atomic symbol: Cu, atomic number: 29) is a Block D, Group 11, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 63.546. The number of electrons in each of copper's shells is 2, 8, 18, 1 and its electron configuration is [Ar]3d10 4s1. The copper atom has a radius of 128 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 186 pm. Copper was first discovered by Early Man prior to 9000 BC. In its elemental form, copper has a reddish-orange metallic and lustrous appearance. Of all pure metals, only silver Elemental Copperhas a higher electrical conductivity. The origin of the word copper comes from the Latin word 'cuprium' which translates as "metal of Cyprus," as the Mediterranean island of Cyprus was known as an ancient source of mined copper..

Selenium

Selenium Bohr ModelSee more Selenium products. Selenium (atomic symbol: Se, atomic number: 34) is a Block P, Group 16, Period 4 element with an atomic radius of 78.96. The number of electrons in each of Selenium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 6 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p4. The selenium atom has a radius of 120 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 190 pm. Selenium is a non-metal with several allotropes: a black, vitreous form with an irregular crystal structure three red-colored forms with monoclinic crystal structures and a gray form with a hexagonal crystal structure, the most stable and dense form of the element. Elemental SeleniumOne of the most common uses for selenium is in glass production the red tint that it lends to glass neutralizes green or yellow tints from impurities in the glass materials. Selenium was discovered and first isolated by Jöns Jakob Berzelius and Johann Gottlieb Gahn in 1817. The origin of the name Selenium comes from the Greek word "Selênê," meaning moon.

Tin

The number of electrons in each of tin's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 4 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p2. The tin atom has a radius of 140.5 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 217 pm.In its elemental form, tin has a silvery-gray metallic appearance. It is malleable, ductile and highly crystalline. High Purity (99.9999%) Tin (Sn) MetalTin has nine stable isotopes and 18 unstable isotopes. Under 3.72 degrees Kelvin, Tin becomes a superconductor. Applications for tin include soldering, plating, and such alloys as pewter. The first uses of tin can be dated to the Bronze Age around 3000 BC in which tin and copper were combined to make the alloy bronze. The origin of the word tin comes from the Latin word Stannum which translates to the Anglo-Saxon word tin.
