Synthesis and characterization of one-dimensional and molecular M(tren)InAsS4 (M = Mn, Co, and Zn) compounds with a noncondensed AsS3(3-) unit.
Four transition-metal-amine complexes incorporating indium thioarsenates with the general formula M(tren)InAsS(4) (M = Mn, Co, and Zn) and a noncondensed AsS(3)(3-) unit have been prepared and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that compound 1 (M = Mn) crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system (space group: P1) and consists of a one-dimensional (1D) inorganic (1)(infinity){[InAsS(4)](2-)} chain and [Mn(tren)](2+) groups bonded to the opposite sides of an eight-membered In(2)As(2)S(4) ring along the backbone of the infinite inorganic chains. Compounds 2 (M = Mn), 3 (M = Zn), and 4 (M = Co) are isomorphous molecular compounds. They all crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system (space group: P2(1)/c). The Mn(2+) cation of [Mn(tren)](2+) in 1 has a distorted octahedral environment, while the transition-metal cations of [M(tren)](2+) in the other three compounds locate in trigonal-bipyramidal environments. This difference results in different bonding modes of [M(tren)](2+) to indium thioarsenates between compound 1 and the other three compounds.
