Locating Interstitial Hydrides in MH₂@Cu₁₄ (M = Cu, Ag) Clusters by Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction.

ABSTRACT: Two structures, [Cu₁₅H₂(S₂CNⁿBu₂)₆(C≡CPh)₆][CuCl₂] (1) and [AgH₂Cu₁₄{S₂P(OⁱPr)₂}₆(C≡CPh)₆][PF₆] (2), are characterized by X-ray crystallography with high-quality single crystals. The position of interstitial hydrides can be accurately located. In addition, the refinement of the hydrides with anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) was successful. The distances between the central atom and copper atoms, as well as the distances within the metal cages surrounding the hydrides, are analyzed and compared with similar MH₂@Cu₁₄ (M = Cu, Ag, Pd) compounds.
