catena-Poly[[bis­[1-(2-hydroxy­ethyl)-1H-tetra­zole-κN 4]copper(II)]-di-μ-chlorido]: a powder study

The crystal structure of the title polymeric complex, [CuCl2(C3H6N4O)2]n, was obtained by the Rietveld refinement from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data collected at room temperature. The unique CuII ion lies on an inversion center and is in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. In the hydroxy­ethyl group, all H atoms, the O atom and its attached C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.6 and 0.4. The OH group is involved in an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond

Autonomy of Economic Agents in Peer-to-Peer Systems

The transition from a traditional economy to a digital economy based on Web 3.0 and blockchain technologies is accompanied by some changes in the structure of relations between participants. Such changes relate to the blurring of the concept of the ultimate beneficiary and the center of responsibility in the case when certain digital categories are behind this or that type of relationship, devoid of the center of control traditional for the economic system. As a rule, such relations between participants have a high level of autonomy and a low level of control by the state or traditional economic organizations. Thus, autonomous economical agents, as completely independent actor, using peer-to-peer economy platforms have the potential to have a large impact on values and behavior in society. Understanding of the economical level of autonomy in peer-to-peer systems of such agents requires analysis of their role in such and design of the control mechanisms in order to determine the benefits from positive effects and at the same time mitigate negative consequences from possible mistakes. This requires a structured overview of the levels of agent autonomy and its impact on the existing system. The purpose of this article is to structure the study of economic agent autonomy in peer-to-peer systems, taking into account the possibilities of the digital environment. The article also provides an overview and analysis of the main technological developments in the field of autonomous economic agents and decentralized autonomous organizations, characteristics and framework of economic autonomy of the agents, taking into account digital environment of peer-to-peer digital systems

A Re(IV) cluster complex [Re3(μ3-S)(μ-S)3(dppe)3Br3]+ with nine cluster skeletal electrons (CSE) and a quadruplet ground state has been prepared by treatment of [Re3S7Br6]Br with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in MeCN

Ways of Interaction of Autonomous Economic Agents in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO), which have already become independent participants in the relationship in the Web 3.0 economy, are currently neither decentralized nor autonomous because most of the functions and tools used are still centralized, the management of DAOs still largely depends on collective decision-making by all participants. Greater autonomy can be provided by the use of Autonomous Economic Agents (AEA) in DAOs to organize governance, improve communication between participants, create an autonomous reward system, and speed up the search for information and solutions. AEA can be used as a tool to conclude transactions or implement a part of their functions. The article provides an overview of the main technological developments in the field of AEA and DAO and also describes the main ways they could interact in economic peer-to-peer digital systems, taking into account their role, characteristics, and functions. Attention is also drawn to the economic benefits that a DAO acquires from the use of autonomous agents

Metal-Deficient Supramolecule based on fivefold-symmetric Building Blocks. Ein Supermolekül mit minimaler Metallbesetzung basierend auf einem fünffach-symmetrischen Baustein

An unprecedented cationic supramolecule [(Cp '' Fe(eta(5)-P-5))(12){CuNCMe}(8)](8+) 2.66 nm in diameter was selectively isolated as a salt of the weakly coordinating anion [Al{OC(CF3)(3)}(4)](-) for the first time and characterized by X-ray structure analysis, PXRD, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Its metal-deficient core contains the lowest possible number of Cu atoms to connect 12 pentaphosphaferrocene units, providing a supramolecule with fullerene topology which, topologically, also represents the simplest homologue in the family of metal-deficient pentaphosphaferrocene-based supramolecules [{Cp(R)Fe(eta(5)-P-5)}(12)(CuX)(20-n)]. The 12 vacant metal sites between the cyclo-P-5 rings, the largest number attained to date, make this compound a facile precursor for potential inner and outer modifications of the core as well as for functionalization via the substitution of labile acetonitrile ligands

Synthesis and Reactivity of a Cyclooctatetraene‐Like Polyphosphorus Ligand Complex [Cyclo‐P 8 ]

The thermolysis of Cp′′′Ta(CO)4 with white phosphorus (P4) gives access to [{Cp′′′Ta}2(μ,η2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1 : 1-P8)] (A), representing the first complex containing a cyclooctatetraene-like (COT) cyclo-P8 ligand. While ring sizes of n >6 have remained elusive for cyclo-Pn structural motifs, the choice of the transition metal, co-ligand and reaction conditions allowed the isolation of A. Reactivity investigations reveal its versatile coordination behaviour as well as its redox properties. Oxidation leads to dimerization to afford [{Cp′′′Ta}4(μ4,η2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1-P16)][TEF]2 (4, TEF=[Al(OC{CF3}3)4]−). Reduction, however, leads to the fission of one P−P bond in A followed by rapid dimerization to form [K@[2.2.2]cryptand]2[{Cp′′′Ta}4(μ4,η2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1-P16)] (5), which features an unprecedented chain-type P16 ligand. Lastly, A serves as a P2 synthon, via ring contraction to the triple-decker complex [{Cp′′′Ta}2(μ,η6 : 6-P6)] (B)

Across the Dimensions: A Three‐Component Self‐Assembly of Pentaphosphaferrocene‐based Coordination Polymers

Pentaphosphaferrocenes [CpRFe(η5-P5)] (Cp*=η5-C5Me5) (A), Cp’’=η5-C5H3tBu2-1,3 (B)) are excellent building blocks for polymeric assemblies in supramolecular chemistry in combination with coinage metal salts of weakly coordinating anions such as AgSbF6. Adding rigid aromatic dinitriles ortho/meta/para-(NC)2C6H4 in a one-pot reaction between [CpRFe(η5-P5)] and AgSbF6 leads to various coordination polymers (CPs) by a three-component self-assembly. The sterical demand of the differently substituted cyclopentadiene ligands as well as the rigid constitution of the isomeric dinitriles (NC)2C6H4 play a key role in the formation of the isolated CPs. All CPs were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction

The Missing Parent Compound [(C 5 H 5 )Fe(η 5 ‐P 5 )]: Synthesis, Characterization, Coordination Behavior and Encapsulation

The so far missing parent compound of the large family of pentaphosphaferrocenes [CpFe(η5-P5)] (1 b) was synthesized by the thermolysis of [CpFe(CO)2]2 with P4 using the very high-boiling solvent diisopropylbenzene. It was comprehensively characterized by, inter alia, NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray structure analysis, cyclic voltammetry and DFT computations. Moreover, its coordination behavior towards CuI halides was explored, revealing the unprecedented 2D polymeric networks [{CpFe(η5:1:1:1:1-P5)}Cu2(μ-X)2]n (2 a: X=Cl, 2 b: X=Br) and [{CpFe(η5:1:1-P5)}Cu(μ-I)]n (3) and even the first cyclo-P5-containing 3D coordination polymer [{CpFe(η5:1:1-P5)}Cu(μ-I)]n (4). The sandwich complex 1 b can also be incorporated in nano-sized supramolecules based on [Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] (1 a) and CuX (X=Cl, Br, I): [CpFe(η5-P5)]@[{Cp*Fe(η5-P5)}12(CuX)20-n] (5 a: X=Cl, n=2.4; 5 b: X=Br, n=2.4; 5 c: X=I, n=0.95). Thereby, the formation of the CuI-containing fullerene-like sphere 5 c is found for the first time
