When PⁱPr(P^tBu)₂ and PⁱPrCl₂ are allowed to react with [Fe₂(CO)₉] it is possible to isolate [Fe₂(CO)₃Cl₂(P^tBu)₅] ( 4 ). The reactions of (PⁱPr)₃ with [Co₂(CO)₈] and [Ni(CO)₄] lead to the tetra- and pentanuclear clusters [Co₄(CO)₁₀(PⁱPr)₃] ( 5 ), [Ni₄(CO)₁₀(PⁱPr)₆] [2] and [Ni₅(CO)₁₀(PⁱPr)₆] ( 6 ). Finally the reaction of [Ir(C₈H₁₂)Cl]₂ with K₂(PPh)₄ leads to the complex [Ir₄(C₈H₁₂)₄Cl₂(PPh)₄] ( 7 ).

CaRhIn with TiNiSi Type Structure and CaTIn2 (T = Rh,Ir) with a New Filled Version of the Zintl Phase CaIn2

CaRhIn, CaRhIn₂, and CaIrIn₂ were synthesized by reacting the elements in glassy carbon crucibles under an argon atmosphere in a high‐frequency furnace. CaRhIn adopts the TiNiSi structure: Pnma, a = 730.0(4) pm, b = 433.1(2) pm, c = 828.8(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0707, 630 F² values, 20 variables. The CaRhIn structure consists of strongly puckered Rh₃In₃ hexagons with Rh–In distances ranging from 273 to 276 pm. Due to the strong puckering each rhodium atom has a distorted tetrahedral indium environment. The calcium atoms fill the channels within the three‐dimensional [RhIn] polyanion. CaRhIn₂ and CaIrIn₂ crystallize with a new structure type: Pnma, a = 1586.2(3) pm, b = 781.4(2) pm, c = 570.9(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0385, 1699 F² values, 44 variables for CaRhIn₂, and Pnma, a = 1588.7(3) pm, b = 780.8(1) pm, c = 574.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0475, 1661 F² values, 44 variables for CaIrIn₂. The structures of CaRhIn₂ and CaIrIn₂ can be described as an orthorhombically distorted rhodium respectively iridium filled CaIn₂. The motif of transition metal filling is similar to that found in MgCuAl₂ type compounds CaTIn₂ (T = Pd, Pt, Au) and SrTIn₂ (T = Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt), but constitute a different tiling. Semi‐empirical band structure calculations for CaRhIn and CaRhIn₂ reveal strong bonding In–In and Rh–In but weaker Ca–Rh and Ca–In interactions. Magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurements of compact polycrystalline samples of CaRhIn₂ indicate weak Pauli paramagnetism and metallic conductivity with a room temperature value for the specific resistivity of 230 ± 50 μΩcm.

The reaction of (PⁱPr)₃ with [Ni(CO)₄] leads to the tetranuclear cluster [Ni₄(CO)₁₀(PⁱPr)₆] ( 4 ). The complex structures were obtained by X-ray single crystal structure analysis: ( 1 : space group P1 (Nr. 2), Z = 2, a = 917.8(3) pm, b = 926.4(3) pm, c = 1 705.6(7) pm, α = 79.75(3)°, β = 85.21(3)°, γ = 66.33(2)°; 2 : space group C2/c (Nr. 15), Z = 4, a = 1 347.7(6) pm, b = 1 032.0(3) pm, c = 1 935.6(8) pm, β = 105.67(2)°; 3 : space group P1 (Nr. 2), Z = 4, a = 1 096.7(4)pm, b = 1 889.8(10)pm, c = 2 485.1(12) pm, α = 75.79(3)°, β = 84.29(3)°, γ = 74.96(3)°; 4 : space group P2₁/c (Nr. 14), Z = 4, a = 2 002.8(5) pm, b = 1 137.2(8) pm, c = 1 872.5(5) pm, β = 95.52(2)°).     

Chromhexacyano‐Komplexe: Die Kristallstrukturen der Cyanoelpasolithe (NMe4)2ACr(CN)6 (A = K,Cs) und der kubischen Bariumverbindung Ba3[Cr(CN)6]2 · 20 H2O

Chromium Hexacyano Complexes: The Crystal Structures of the Cyano Elpasolites (NMe₄)₂ACr(CN)₆ (A = K, Cs) and of the Cubic Barium Compound Ba₃[Cr(CN)₆]₂ · 20 H₂O The crystal structures of the cyano elpasolites (NMe₄)₂KCr(CN)₆ (a = 1527.3(1), b = 888.1(1), c = 1539.0(1) pm, β = 109.92(1)°; C2/c, Z = 4) and (NMe₄)₂CsCr(CN)₆ (a = 1278.9(1) pm; Fm3m, Z = 4), as well as of the cubic compound Ba₃[Cr(CN)₆]₂ · 20 H₂O (a = 1631.0(1) pm; Im3m, Z = 4) were determined by X‐ray methods with single crystals. Reasons for the enlarged distances within the [Cr(CN)₆]^3–‐octahedron of the K compound (Cr–C: 209.3 pm) compared to the observations within both cubic complexes (206.1 resp. 206.9 pm) are discussed in context with the tolerance factors of cyano elpasolites. As is the case there concerning the cyano bridges Cr–CN–A towards the alkali ions the novel structure type of the barium compound, too, exhibits nearly linear bridging towards Ba. It contributes, however, only four N ligands to the ninefold [BaN₄O₅] coordination; part of the aqua ligands show disorder (Ba–N: 287.5, Ba–O: 281/293 pm).

The complex cations and anions occupy the positions of a distorted anti‐CaF₂‐type. The thermal decomposition, IR and Raman spectra are presented and discussed.

Drei Alkalimetall‐Erbium‐Thiophosphate: Von der Schichtstruktur bei KEr[P2S7] zur dreidimensionalen Vernetzung in NaEr[P2S6] und Cs3Er5[PS4]6

Three Alkali‐Metal Erbium Thiophosphates: From the Layered Structure of KEr[P₂S₇] to the Three‐Dimensional Cross‐Linkage in NaEr[P₂S₆] and Cs₃Er₅[PS₄]₆ The three alkali‐metal erbium thiophosphates NaEr[P₂S₆], KEr[P₂S₇], and Cs₃Er₅[PS₄] show a small selection of the broad variety of thiophosphate units: from ortho‐thiophosphate [PS₄]^3? and pyro‐thiophosphate [S₃P–S–PS₃]^4? with phosphorus in the oxidation state +V to the [S₃P–PS₃]^3? anion with a phosphorus‐phosphorus bond (d(P–P) = 221 pm) and tetravalent phosphorus. In spite of all differences, a whole string of structural communities can be shown, in particular for coordination and three‐dimensional linkage as well as for the phosphorus‐sulfur distances (d(P–S) = 200 – 213 pm). So all three compounds exhibit eightfold coordinated Er³⁺ cations and comparably high‐coordinated alkali‐metal cations (CN(Na⁺) = 8, CN(K⁺) = 9+1, and CN(Cs⁺) ≈ 10). NaEr[P₂S₆] crystallizes triclinically ( ; a = 685.72(5), b = 707.86(5), c = 910.98(7) pm, α = 87.423(4), β = 87.635(4), γ = 88.157(4)°; Z = 2) in the shape of rods, as well as monoclinic KEr[P₂S₇] (P2₁/c; a = 950.48(7), b = 1223.06(9), c = 894.21(6) pm, β = 90.132(4)°; Z = 4). The crystal structure of Cs₃Er₅[PS₄] can also be described monoclinically (C2/c; a = 1597.74(11), b = 1295.03(9), c = 2065.26(15) pm, β = 103.278(4)°; Z = 4), but it emerges as irregular bricks. All crystals show the common pale pink colour typical for transparent erbium(III) compounds.
