Abstract
The reaction of molybdenum(II) and chromium(II) acetates with squaric acid in degassed and deionized water under hydrothermal conditions at 150 °C is described. The products have been formulated as M2(μ-OH)2(μ-C4O4)2(H2O)4·2H2O, where M = Cr (1) and Mo (2), based on combustion elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The edge-shared bioctahedral structures involve doubly bridging hydroxide ligands and μ-squarate ligands. The chromium compound lacks a direct metal-metal-bonding interaction, while in contrast the molybdenum compound contains a Mo-Mo bond [2.491(2) Å]. The nature of the Mo-Mo-bonding interaction is compared with that of other similar d3-d3 dimers.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is the go-to technique for determining the solution structures of organic, organometallic, and even macromolecular species. However, structure determination of nanoscale aqueous inorganic clusters by NMR spectroscopy remains an unexplored territory. The few hydroxo-bridged inorganic species well characterized by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) do not provide enough information for signal assignment and prediction of new samples. 1H-NMR and quantum mechanical (QM) computations were used to characterize the NMR spectra of the entire array of inorganic flat-Ga13-x In x (0 ≤ x ≤ 6) nanoscale clusters in solution. A brief review of the known signals for μ2-OH and μ3-OH bridges gives expected ranges for certain types of protons, but does not give enough information for exact peak assignment. Integration values and NOESY data were used to assign the peaks of several cluster species with simple 1H-NMR spectra. Computations agree with these hydroxide signal assignments and allow for assignment of the complex spectra arising from the remaining cluster species. This work shows that 1H-NMR spectroscopy provides a variety of information about the solution behavior of inorganic species previously thought to be inaccessible by NMR due to fast ligand and/or proton exchange in wet solvents.

Abstract
A far superior synthesis is reported for W(2)(hpp)(4)Cl(2), a key intermediate in the synthesis of the most easily ionized closed-shell molecule W(2)(hpp)(4) (hpp = the anion of the bicyclic guanidine compound 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine). At 200 degrees C, the one-pot reaction of the air-stable and commercially available compounds W(CO)(6) and Hhpp in o-dichlorobenzene produces W(2)(hpp)(4)Cl(2) in multigram quantities with isolated yields of over 90%. At lower temperatures, the reaction can lead to other compounds such as W(Hhpp)(2)(CO)(4) or W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-hpp)(2)(eta(2)-hpp)(2), which are isolable in good purity depending upon the specific conditions employed. These compounds provide insight into the reaction pathway to W(2)(hpp)(4)Cl(2) and W(2)(hpp)(4). Two additional derivatives, W(2)(hpp)(4)X(2) where X is PF(6)(-) or the anion tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (TFPB), have also been synthesized and structurally characterized. A comparison of the electrode potentials of W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-hpp)(2)(eta(2)-hpp)(2) and the di-p-anisylformamidinate analogue shows that oxidation of the hpp compound is significantly displaced (1.12 V) and shows that the bicyclic guanidinate ligand is considerably better than the formamidinate anion at stabilizing high oxidation states. A differential pulse voltammogram of W(2)(hpp)(4)(TFPB)(2) in THF shows two reduction processes with an E(1/2) of -0.97 V for the first and -1.81 V (vs Ag/AgCl) for the second. DFT calculations on the W(2)(hpp)(4)(2+) units in W(2)(hpp)(4)X(2) compounds show that the metal-metal bonding orbitals are destabilized by the axial ligands, which accounts for significant variations in the W-W distances. The low-energy gas-phase ionizations of W(2)(hpp)(4) are also reported and discussed.

Abstract
Reactions of W(CO)(6) with formamidines contrast with those of Mo(CO)(6) and Cr(CO)(6) in that the former do not yield quadruply bonded dimetal species. From the reaction of W(CO)(6) with HDAniF (HDAniF = N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidine), several new ditungsten carbonyl compounds (W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(2) (1), W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(eta(2)-CH(2)DAniF) (2), and W(2)(mu-CO)(mu-CNC(6)H(4)OCH(3))(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(2) (3)) have been isolated and fully characterized. In 2, CH(2)DAniF represents a DAniF ligand in which a methylene group has been added to one of the nitrogen atoms. This ligand binds to the tungsten atom using a nitrogen and a carbon atom. Compound 1 has a tungsten-tungsten bond distance of 2.476(1) A and a planar W(2)(mu-CO)(2) core structure which has C(2)(h)() symmetry with short and long W-C bond distances (1.99(1) and 2.28(1) A, respectively). DFT calculations on a model of 1 indicate that (a) the C(2)(h)() instead of D(2)(h)() symmetry of the ditungsten core may be attributed to W --> CO pi back-bonding interactions and (b) the bond between the tungsten atoms may be formulated as a double bond. The new tetragonal paddlewheel compound W(2)(DAniF)(4) (4) and the edge-sharing bioctahedron W(2)(mu-O)(mu-NC(6)H(3)Cl(2))(mu-D(Cl)PhF)(2)(eta(2)-D(Cl)PhF)(2) (5) (D(Cl)PhF = N,N'-di-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)formamidinate) have also been prepared.
