Noncentrosymmetric K2Mn3(SO4)3F2·4H2O and Rb2Mn3(SO4)3F2·2H2O with pseudo-KTP structures

Two fluoride sulfates,K₂Mn₃(SO₄)₃F₂·4H₂O(Ⅰ) and Rb₂Mn₃(SO₄)₃F₂·2H₂O (Ⅱ) are obtained by water solution method.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that they crystallize in space groups of Cmc2_1.Their structures feature a pseudo-KTP structure consisting of interconnecting[Mn₃(SO₄)3F₂(H₂O)2]_∞ layers,which are further packing along the a axis with alkali metal cations balancing the charges.The structure relationships between the two compounds are discussed.Secondharmonic generation measurements manifest that Ⅰ and Ⅱ have similar second-harmonic generation responses of about 0.2 and 0.25 times that of KH₂PO₄.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [W3S4(Acac)3(PPh3)3]PF6 · 0.5CHCl3 and [W3S4(Hfac)3(PPh3)2Br] · 2CHCl3

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and thermal decomposition of two peroxovanadium complexes with coordinated ammonia molecules: [{VO(O2)2(NH3)}2{μ-Cu(NH3)4}] and [Zn(NH3)4][VO(O2)2(NH3)]2

The compounds [{VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)}₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}] (1) and [Zn(NH₃)₄][VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]₂ (2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The single crystal X-ray study revealed that the structure of 1 consists of trinuclear complex molecules [(NH₃)OV(O₂)₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}(O₂)₂VO(NH₃)] with a rare heterobimetalic peroxo bridge: copper(II)–peroxo ligand–vanadium(V). The structure of 2 is composed of tetraamminezinc(II) cations and ammineoxodiperoxovanadate(V) anions. In course of thermal decomposition of 1 performed up to 620 °C, the following intermediate products: [Cu(NH₃)₂(VO₃)₂], and subsequently a mixture of V₂O₅ with monoclinic β-Cu₂V₂O₇, were gradually formed. The final product of decomposition is Cu(VO₃)₂. The thermal decomposition of 2 is a two-step process. In the first stage, [Zn(NH₃)₃(VO₃)₂] as supposed intermediate was formed, which transformed at higher temperatures by release of ammonia molecules to the monoclinic modification of Zn(VO₃)₂.     

The crystal structure of Yb2(SO4)3·3H2O and its decomposition product, β-Yb2(SO4)3

Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O, synthesised by hydrothermal methods at 220(2) °C, has been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O crystallises in space group Cmc2₁ and is isostructural with Lu₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O. The crystal structure has been refined to R₁=0.0145 for 3412 reflections [F_o>3σ(F)], and 0.0150 for all 3472 reflections. The structure of Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O is a complex framework of YbO₆ octahedra, YbO₈ and YbO₅(H₂O)₃ polyhedra and SO₄ tetrahedra. Thermal data shows that Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O decomposes between 120 and 190 °C to form β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃. The structure of a twinned crystal of β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃ was solved and refined using an amplimode refinement in R3c with an R₁=0.0755 for 8944 reflections [F_o>3σ(F)], and 0.1483 for all 16,361 reflections. β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃ has a unique structural topology based on a 3D network of pinwheels.     

Diverse coordination of two ligands in ferromagnetic [Cu(μ-HCO2)2(3-pyOH)]n and [Cu2(μ-HCO2)2(μ-3-pyOH)2(3-pyOH)2(HCO2)2]n

Two novel polynuclear complexes with methanoate anions and 3-hydroxypyridine ligands [Cu(μ-HCO₂)₂(3-pyOH)]_n (1) and [Cu₂(μ-HCO₂)₂(μ-3-pyOH)₂(3-pyOH)₂(HCO₂)₂]_n (2), respectively, were synthesized and characterized. The central copper atom in 1 is surrounded by four methanoates and a 3-pyOH molecule, forming a square-pyramidal CuO₃NO chromophore. All the methanoates are bidentate and serve as bridges between the adjacent copper ions via syn-anti and anti–anti coordination. The basal square coordination axes are formed by O(syn), N(3-pyOH) (1.974(2), 2.016(2) Å) and O(anti), O(anti) (1.945(2), 1.960(2) Å), while the third O(anti) (2.247(2) Å) is on the top of the pyramid. A ferromagnetic transition with an exchange constant 2J/k_B = 9.2 cm⁻¹ is found for 1 below 20 K. This interaction probably takes place through two syn-anti methanoates extended in a chain through the 2D structure. On the other hand, two monoatomic Cu–O–Cu intra-dinuclear asymmetric (1.986(2), 2.415(2) Å) bridges of two methanoates in [Cu₂(HCO₂)₄(3-pyOH)₄] (2) are present. An elongated distorted octahedral coordination sphere around each copper(II) atom is completed by an additional monodentate terminal methanoate (1.975(2) Å), two N-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.005(2), 2.002(2) Å) and the third weakly O-coordinated 3-pyOH (2.732(2) Å). Although a shorter Cu?Cu distance is noticed in 2 than in 1 (4.690(1) Å 1, 3.442(1) Å 2), much weaker ferromagnetism is found in 2.
