CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AND VIBRATIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REACTION-PRODUCTS OF N-METHYLTHIAZOLIDINE-2(3H)-SELONE(1) AND N-METHYLBENZOTHIAZOLE-2(3H)-SELONE(2) WITH BR-2
Fa. Devillanova et al., CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AND VIBRATIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE REACTION-PRODUCTS OF N-METHYLTHIAZOLIDINE-2(3H)-SELONE(1) AND N-METHYLBENZOTHIAZOLE-2(3H)-SELONE(2) WITH BR-2, Polyhedron, 17(2-3), 1998, pp. 305-312
The products obtained by reacting the title selenium donors, 1 and 2,
with molecular dibromine, both in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 1(2)/Br-2 molar rati
os in CH2Cl2 solution, are described. Depending on the molar ratio of
the reagents, 1 gives two different products having stoichiometries 1
. Br-2 (I) and C8H14Br8N2S2Se (II). Compound II, characterised by X-ra
y diffraction on a single crystal, is an ionic compound having formula
(C4H7BrNS)(2)[SeBr6]. Thus, the reaction occurs through C=Se bond bre
aking and formation of the N-methyl-2-bromothiazolidinium cation and o
xidation of the selenium atom to a hexabromo selenate(2-) anion. In th
e corresponding reaction with 2, the same compound of stoichiometry 2
. Br-2 (III) is obtained in both molar ratios. The X-ray diffractometr
ic analysis on a single crystal of III shows that it is a hypervalent
Se-compound, C8H7Br2NSSe, bearing the Br-Se-Br linear group. FT-IR and
FT-Raman spectra are in accordance with structural results for II and
III and help to characterise I. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
