The molecule of the title dimeric compound, [Li2Cl2(C13­H30O6P2)2] or [LiCl{[(iPrO)2P(O)]2CH2}]2, lies about an inversion center and features tetrahedrally coordinated Li atoms. The neutral ligands each chelate to one metal center and bridge to the other center through P=O units. Unusually for lithium chloride complexes, the Cl ions are in terminal rather than bridging positions. Principal dimensions include Li—O(four-membered ring) = 1.959 (3) and 2.056 (3) Å, Li—O(phosphonate ring) = 1.929 (3) Å, and Li—Cl = 2.293 (3) Å.

Comment top

Neutral Lewis base complexes of lithium chloride display a surprisingly wide variety of aggregated forms in the solid state (Chivers et al., 2001). These include monomers (Raston et al., 1988), dimers (Hahn & Rupprecht, 1991), tetramers (Barr et al., 1984a), polymers (Kopp & Neumuller, 1999) and charge-separated compounds (Barr et al., 1984b), with the extent and nature of the aggregation being dependant on the donor ligand. Monomers and charge-separated complexes are generally found when polydentate ligands such as crowns are used, or when sufficient quantities of strong Lewis bases are present. A common feature of the remaining aggregated forms of lithium chloride is the use of Cl bridges to link the metals. This may either be in a µ2 fashion, as seen in the simple dimer [LiCl(THF)2]2 (THF is tetrahydrofuran; Hahn & Rupprecht, 1991), or alternatively in a µ3 mode, as found in the tetrameric cubane [LiCl(HMPA)]4 (HMPA is hexamethylphosphoramide; Barr et al., 1984a). We now add to this collection the structure of the title compound, (I), which, although dimeric, unusually displays terminal Cl units. \sch

X-ray analysis of (I) revealed a centrosymmetric dimer, with the metal atoms bridged by a pair of PO units, one from each of the attached phosphonate ligands. The remaining PO unit of each phosphonate chelates an Li centre to give an overall framework composed of a centrosymmetric four-membered Li2O2 ring sandwiched between two six-membered LiOPCPO rings in a step-like configuration (Fig. 1). Tetracoordination of the metal atoms is completed by the terminal Cl anions. Principal dimensions are given in Table 1.

The closest analogue of (I) is the complex [{LiCl(DMF)}2·H2O]n (DMF is dimethylformamide; Rao et al., 1984), which also contains solvent-bridged Li2O2 units. However, in this instance, the attached Cl anions bridge between dimeric units, as well as binding to water molecules, to form a network assembly. Interestingly, when the closely related monodentate phosphoryl ligand HMPA is used as a Lewis base for LiCl, the tetrameric cubane [LiCl(HMPA)]4 (Barr et al., 1984a), with µ3-bridging Cl anions and terminal donor ligands, is formed. Inclusion of water into this system results in the formation of the charge-separated complex [{Li(H2O)2(HMPA)2}2+·2Cl] (Barr et al., 1984b), incorporating PO-bridged dimeric units, as found in (I). Therefore, the formation of (I) can be rationalized by the bidentate phosphonate ligand enabling the preferential bridging of the PO units, while maintaining tetracoordination at the metal centres.

Rather than considering complex (I) as a traditional dimer, which normally bridges through the anionic groups, it may be better viewed as an associated pair of monomers. This is demonstrated by the short Li—Cl bond length of 2.293 (3) Å in (I), which compares favourably with the value of 2.290 (4) Å found in the monomeric complex [LiCl(12-crown-4)] (Gingl et al., 1991). Finally, the Li—O bond distances within the Li2O2 dimer are highly asymmetrical, at 1.959 (3) Å for Li1—O1 and 2.056 (3) Å for Li1—O1i [symmetry code: (i) −x, −y, 2 − z]. This is an unusual feature compared with similarly PO-bridged complexes of Li, such as [(RO)2P(O)CHCNLi·THF]n (R is?; Henderson et al., 2000), and may be a consequence of chelation of the ligand resulting in a stronger interaction with one metal over the other.

Experimental top

All experimental manipulations were performed either under a purified argon atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques or in an argon-filled glove box. All solvents were distilled from sodium benzophenone ketyl prior to use. Tetraisopropyl methylenediphosphonate was purchased from Lancaster, distilled from CaH2 and stored over 4 A molecular sieve before use. n-Butyl lithium was purchased from Aldrich and standardized before use. n-Butyl chloride was purchased from Aldrich, distilled from CaH2 and stored over 4 A molecular sieve prior to use. The NMR spectroscopic data were recorded on a Bruker DPX 400 spectrometer at 298 K. The elemental analysis was carried out on a Perkin-Elmer 2400 elemental analyzer. For the synthesis of (I), n-BuLi (5 mmol as a 1.6 M solution in hexane) was added to a solution of n-BuCl (5 mmol, 0.52 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 5 ml). The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h before the addition of one equivalent of [(i-PrO)2P(O)]2CH2 (5 mmol, 1.6 ml). After formation of a white precipitate, the THF was removed in vacuo and replaced by toluene (10 ml). Complete dissolution was achieved on strong heating of the mixture. X-ray quality crystals of (I) were produced on slowly cooling the hot solution to 277 K over several hours (yield 0.4 g, 20.1%). Elemental analysis, expected: C 40.38, H 7.82%; found: C 40.62, H 7.87%. 1H NMR (D5-pyridine, δ, p.p.m.): 1.34 (d, 12H, iPr CH3, 3J = 6.2 Hz), 1.36 (d, 12H, iPr CH3, 3J = 6.2 Hz), 3.09 (t, 2H, P2CH2, 2JPH = 21.2 Hz), 5.04 (sext, 4H, iPr CH, 3J = 6.2 Hz); 13C NMR (D5-pyridine, δ, p.p.m.): 24.55 (iPr CH3), 24.94 (iPr CH3), 28.10 (t, CH2, 1JPC = 135.2 Hz), 72.03 (iPr CH).

Refinement top

The methyl groups bonded to C11 were each modelled as disordered over two positions, and the occupancy refined to 0.832 (14):0.168 (14). The minor component was treated isotropically, whilst the major component and all other non-H atoms were treated anisotropically. All H atoms were treated as riding, with C—H distances in the range 0.98–1.00 Å. Is this added text OK??

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
