Selective criteria in Werner clathrates

We have elucidated the structures of a series of Werner Clathrates with systematically changing guest molecules. The host is the inorganic coordination compound bis(isothiocyanato)tetra(4-vinylpyridine)nickel(II), [Ni(NCS)2(4-ViPy)4]. The guests are mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and the cyclic hydroca...

Description
Summary:We have elucidated the structures of a series of Werner Clathrates with systematically changing guest molecules. The host is the inorganic coordination compound bis(isothiocyanato)tetra(4-vinylpyridine)nickel(II), [Ni(NCS)2(4-ViPy)4]. The guests are mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and the cyclic hydrocarbons: cyclohexane, cyclohexene, 1,3-cYclohexadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene and benzene. Host to guest ratios were elucidated by density and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermal characteristics of the compounds were analysed by thermogravimetric analysis and differen.tial thermal analysis. The structures of two related compounds [Ni(NCS)2(Py)4] and [Ni(NCS)2(Py)4].nbenzene were also studied.
