Structural and Magnetochemical Studies of Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Related Compounds A^II₅M^III₃F₁₉ Single crystal structure determinations by X‐ray methods were performed at the following compounds, crystallizing tetragonally body‐centred (Z = 4): Sr₅V₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.4(2), c = 728.9(1) pm), Sr₅Cr₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.5(2), c = 728.1(1) pm), Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ (a = 1468.9(1), c = 770.3(1) pm, Ba₅Fe₃F₁₉ (a = 1483.5(1), c = 766.7(1) pm), and Ba₅Ga₃F₁₉ (a = 1466.0(2), c = 760.1(2) pm). Only Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ was refined in space group I4cm (mean distances for elongated octahedra Mn1–F: 185/207 pm equatorial/axial; for compressed octahedra Mn2–F: 199/182 pm), the remaining compounds in space group I4/m. In all cases the octahedral ligand spheres of the M1 atoms showed disorder, the [M1F₆] octahedra being connected into chains in one part of the compounds and into dimers in the other. The magnetic properties of the V, Cr and Mn compounds named above and of Pb₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Sr₅Fe₃F₁₉ as well were studied; the results are discussed in context with the in part problematic structures.     

Strukturuntersuchungen an Usoviten: Ba2CaMIIV2F14 (MIII = Mn,Fe), Ba2CaMnFe2F14 und Ba2CaCuM2IIIF14 (MIII = Mn,Fe, Ga)

Structural Studies with Usovites: Ba₂CaM^IIV₂F₁₄ (M^III = Mn, Fe), Ba₂CaMnFe₂F₁₄ and Ba₂CaCuM₂^IIIF₁₄ (M^III = Mn, Fe, Ga). Single crystals of six compounds Ba₂CaM^IIM₂^IIIF₁₄ were prepared to refine their usovite type structure (space group C2/c, Z = 4) using X‐ray diffractometer data. The cell parameters of the phases studied with M^IIM₂^III= MnV₂, FeV₂, CuMn₂, MnFe₂, CuFe₂ und CuGa₂ are within the range 1374≤a/pm≤1384, 534≤b/pm≤542, 1474≤c/pm≤1510, 91, 3≤ß/°≤93, 2. The atoms Ca and M^II are incompletely ordered on the 8‐ and 6‐coordinated positions, 4e and 4b, respectively. In the case of Ba₂CaFeV₂F₁₄ and Ba₂CaCuGa₂F₁₄ there is reciprocal substitution (x≈0, 1): (Ca_1‐xM_x^II) (4e) and (M_1‐x^IICa_x) (4b). In the case of the other usovites Ca‐enriched phases Ba₂Ca(M_1‐y^IICa_y)M₂^IIIF₁₄ occured (up to y≈0, 35), exhibiting partial substitution at the octahedral position (4b) only, showing a corresponding increase in M^II‐F distances. The distortion of [M^IIF₆] and [M^IIIF₆] octahedra within the structure is considerably enhanced on replacement by Cu^II and Mn^III. The results of powder magnetic susceptibility measurements of Ba₂CaMnV₂F₁₄ and Ba₂CaFeV₂F₁₄ (T_N≈7K) are reported.     

Struktur und Magnetismus von Fluoriden Cs2MCu3F10 (M = Mg,Mn, Co,Ni), Varianten des CsCu2F5‐Typs

Structure and Magnetism of Fluorides Cs₂MCu₃F₁₀ (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni), Variants of the CsCu₂F₅ Type X‐ray structure determinations of single crystals showed that compounds Cs₂MCu₃F₁₀ crystallize with Z = 2 in space group P2₁/n (No.14) (M = Mn) of the CsCu₂F₅ type resp. in its supergroup I2/m (No.12) (M = Mg, Co, Ni). Cs₂MgCu₃F₁₀: a = 714.9(1), b = 736.8(1), c = 940.4(1) pm, b = 96.29(1)°, (Mg‐F: 199.2 pm); Cs₂MnCu₃F₁₀: a = 725.1(1), b = 742.7(1), c = 951.0(2) pm, b = 97.28(3)°, (Mn‐F: 209.1 pm); Cs₂CoCu₃F₁₀: a = 717.8(3), b = 739.1(2), c = 939.4(4) pm, b = 97.49(2)°, (Co‐F: 203.1 pm); Cs₂NiCu₃F₁₀: a = 716.3(1), b = 737.7(1), c = 938.2(2) pm, b = 97.09(1)°, (Ni‐F: 201.0 pm). As determined directly for the Mg compound and generally concluded from the average distances M‐F noted, M substitution concerns mainly the octahedrally coordinated position of the CsCu₂F₅ structure, the distortion of which is very much reduced thereby. Within the remaining [CuF₄] and [CuF₅] coordinations, in contrast to CsCu₂F₅, one F ligand is disordered, in case of the Mn compound the pyramidally coordinated Cu atom, too. The magnetic properties are complex and point to frustration and spin glass effects. Only at the diamagnetically substituted variants with M = Mg, Zn no Néel point appears, which is reached at 27, 23, 36 and 55 K for M = Mn, Co, Ni and Cu, resp. At lower temperatures ferri‐ resp. weak ferromagnetism and hysteresis is observed.     

Zur Kristallstruktur von Ba3Al2F12

Concerning the Crystal Structure of Ba₃Al₂F₁₂ Preparing BaMnAlF₇ we obtained single crystals of Ba₃Al₂F₁₂ as a by‐product (a = 1020.3(2), b = 988.5(1), c = 952.2(1) pm, space group Pnnm, Z = 4). The redetermination confirmed the structure already known, but improved the results (R₁′ = 0.028 and wR₂ = 0.06 for 1908 and 2717 reflections, resp.). An interpretation is given for the relation of distances within the tetrameric anion [Al₄F₂₀]^8— (average Al—F: 180, 1 pm). The construction of the cationic frame [Ba₃F₂]⁴⁺ is discussed.

On the Structure of Ba₂Wo₃F₄ and Ba₂MoO₃F₄ Ba₂[WO_2/2O₂F₂]F₂ has been prepared for the first time as colourless single crystals (from powder, Au-tube, 680°C, 90 d). It crystallizes in the monoclinic (C c) crystal system with a = 1151.1, b = 938.2, c = 718.8 pm, ß = 126.17°, Z = 4. d_x = 6.17, d_pyk = 6.13 g · cm^?3. (Fourcirclediffractometer PW 1100, Fa. Philips, MoKα-, ω-2Θ-scan, 1832 I₀(hkl) R = 8.3, R_w = 7.4%). Parameters see in the text. The isotypic Ba₂MoO₃F₄ has been prepared as powder (a = 1147.5, b = 937.0, c = 725.1 pm, ß = 126.42°). The structure shows chains of (WO_2/2O₂F₂) groups along [001]. To establish O^2? and F^? on the positions IR and Raman Spectra are employed. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, is calculated and discussed.     

Tetragonale Fluorperowskite AM0,75 ▭ 0,25F3 mit Kationendefizit: K4MnIIMn2IIIF12 und Ba2Cs2Cu3F12

Tetragonal Fluoroperovskites AM_0,75 □ _0,25F₃ Deficient in Cations: K₄Mn^IIM₂^IIIF₁₂ and Ba₂Cs₂Cu₃F₁₂ By heating 2KMnF₃ + K₂MnF₆ and BaF₂, CsF + CuF₂ respectively, the isostructural tetragonal compounds K₄Mn₃F₁₂ (a = 832.2, c = 1643.0 pm) and Ba₂Cs₂Cu₃F₁₂ (a = 854.1, c = 1704.1 pm) were prepared. They crystallize in a cation-deficient perovskite structure exhibiting ordering of octahedral vacancies. Single crystal structures determinations in the space group I4₁/amd, Z = 4, yielded the following average distances within the octahedra, which are Jahn-Teller distorted for Mn^III and Cu^II:Mn^II? F = 208.3 pm, Mn^III? F = 4 × 183.0/2 × 209.7 pm; Cu? F = 190.7/227.1 and 190.6/236.4 pm, respectively. The results are discussed in comparison with related compounds.     

The Crystal Structure of Ba3Cu2Al2F16: a Relative of Ba4Cu2Al3F21

Ba₃Cu₂Al₂F₁₆ is monoclinic: a = 7.334(1)Å, b = 5.320(2)Å, c = 16.022(1)Å, β = 96.34(1)°, Z = 2. Its crystal structure was solved in the space group P2₁ (No. 4) from synchrotron X‐ray single crystal data using 2685 unique reflections (2639 with F_o/σ(F_o) > 4). The final R factor is 0.044. The structure consists of a succession along the c‐axis of the cell of three layers of two different kinds of sheets developing in the (a, b) plane. The first one, formulated [(AlF₅)₂]_∞^4— and hereafter named A, is built up from infinite cis‐chains of aluminium‐fluorine octahedra [AlF₆], linked by two vertices and distanced by a. The second one, formulated [Cu₂AlF₁₁]_∞^4— and named B, is bidimensional. It is constituted of distorted copper‐fluorine octahedra [CuF₆], linked by edges, which form infinite chains interconnected by three vertices of isolated [AlF₆] octahedra. The stacking sequence of the sheets is (A, B, B)_∞. The barium ions, 12‐coordinated, are inserted between the sheets. The crystal structure of Ba₃Cu₂Al₂F₁₆ is closely related to that of Ba₄Cu₂Al₃F₂₁. Only the proportion and the stacking sequence of the two kinds of sheets in the c‐direction differ, according to two different compositions and two different symmetries.     

Zwei Galliumfluorid-Ammoniakate: Ga(NH3)F3 und Ga(NH3)2F3

Two Gallium Fluoride Ammine Complexes: Ga(NH₃)F₃ and Ga(NH₃)₂F₃ Two gallium trifluoride ammines, Ga(NH₃)F₃ and Ga(NH₃)₂F₃, are obtained as single crystals through oxidation of gallium metal with NH₄HF₂ (Ga : NH₄HF₂ = 1 : 1.5) and NH₄F (Ga : NH₄F = 1 : 3.5), respectively, at 450 °C and 400 °C. Ga(NH₃)F₃ crystallizes with the non-centrosymmetric space group Abm2 (a = b = 544.6(2) pm, c = 986.6(4) pm) forming two-dimensional layers of [Ga(NH₃)F₅] octahedra. The addition of another NH₃ molecule in Ga(NH₃)₂F₃ (orthorhombic, Immm, a = 700.0(3) pm, b = 724.7(2) pm, c = 393.1(1) pm) leads to one-dimensional rods of [Ga(NH₃)₂F₄] octahedra running parallel [001] which are stacked in the [010] direction. Infrared spectra suggest hydrogen bonding (N–H…F) in Ga(NH₃)F₃, for Ga(NH₃)₂F₃ an unequivocal statement is not possible.     

Preparation and Structure of Rhenium Fluoride Trioxide ReO3F,and the Polymorphism of Rhenium Trifluoride Dioxide,ReO2F3

The methods of preparation of ReO₃F are revised. ReO₃F is an amorphous yellow solid that crystallizes into colorless needles after prolonged heating. Its structure is that of a fluorine and oxygen bridged chain with hexa coordinated rhenium atoms (a = 670.9(2), b = 596.6(2), c = 1030.6(4) pm, β = 90.057(7)°, space group P2/c. In presence of donor solvents ReO₃F·2L (L = (C₂H₅)₂O, (CH₃)₂O, THF) are formed. ReO₂F₃, if crystallized from HF, exists in two crystalline forms, both are fluorine bridged chain polymers. (ReO₂F₃‐I: a = 1539.7(3), b = 999.6(3), c = 924.4(2) pm, β = 95.25(1)°, space group P2₁/c; ReO₂F₃‐II: a = 544.9(1), b = 494.2(1), c = 1253.7(2) pm, β = 98.543(7)°, space group P2₁/c. ReO₂F₃ crystallizes from CFCl₃ or SO₂FCl as fluorine bridged cyclic trimer (a = 881.4(4), c = 822.1(6) pm, γ = 120°, space group P6₃/m, or fluorine bridged cyclic tetramer (a = 1107.8(2), b = 999.4(2), c = 1347.9(3) pm, space group Cmca).     

Über Usovite Ba2M″ M″ M2″ F14 und die Hochdruckphasen von BaMnVF7 und BaMnFeF7: Verbindungen mit BaMnGaF7-Struktur

On Usovites Ba₂M^IIM′^IIM₂^IIIF₁₄ and the High Pressure Phases of BaMnVF₇ and BaMnFeF₇: Compounds with BaMnGaF₇ Structure The results of complete single crystal structure determinations of the monoclinic BaMnGaF₇ type compounds Ba₂CaCoV₂F₁₄ (and Ba₂CdMn Fe₂F₁₄) are reported: C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1369.7 (1381.2), b = 538.4 (537.2), c = 1491.6 (1489.5) pm, β = 91.49 (91.11)°, Rg = 0.036 (0.038) for 4389 (2521) reflections. The atoms Ca/Co (Cd/Mn) distribute not completely ordered on the 8? and 6?coordinated sites of this “usovite” structure (Ba₂CaMgAl₂F₁₄). This is also evident for Cd/Fe from Mössbauer spectra of Ba₂CdFeAl₂F₁₄. The lattice constants of this and further seven compounds Ba₂M^IIM′^IIM2_IIIF₁₄ (M^II = Ca, Cd; M′^II = Mg, Mn? Cu; M^II = Al, Ga) are given. Two novel representatives of the same structure with M^II = M′^II = Mn could be prepared in the form of the high pressure phases of BaMn VF₇ and BaMnFeF₇. The magnetic properties of both modifications of the iron compound and of BaMnGaF₇ are reported and discussed.     

Über Fluoride des zweiwertigen Eisens: Ba2[Fe3F10]

On the Knowledge of Ba₂[Fe₃F₁₀] For the first time colourless single crystals of Ba₂Fe₃F₁₀ have been prepared by reduction of a mixture of 3 BaF₂/7 FeF₃ in a Fe-tube (reaction with the wall 750°C, 60 d). Ba₂Fe₃F₁₀ crystallizes in the monoclinic spcgr. P2₁/c with a = 788.3(1), b = 623.0(1), c = 1868.0(3) pm, β = 111.79(1)º, Z = 4. (Fourcircle diffractometer PW 1100, Fa. Philips, MoKα, 2383 of 2383 I₀(hkl), R = 8.1%, R_w = 4.1%, parameters see in the text). The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, is calculated and discussed.     

Ba5[CrN4]N: Das erste Nitridochromat(V)

Ba₅[CrN₄]N: The First Nitridochromate(V) Ba₅[CrN₄]N is prepared by reaction of mixtures of Li₃N, Ba₃N₂ and CrN/Cr₂N (1 : 1) (molar ratio Li : Ba : Cr = 3 : 5 : 1) in tantalum crucibles at 700°C with flowing nitrogen (1 atm) within a period of 48 h. After cooling down to room temperature (60°C/h) black-shining single crystals of the ternary phase with a platy habit are obtained (monoclinic, C2/m; a = 1054.0(2) pm, b = 1170.9(3) pm, c = 937.7(2) pm, b? = 110,79(2)°; Z = 4). The crystal structure contains isolated complex anions [Cr^VN₄]^7? which nearly satisfy the ideal tetrahedral symmetry (Cr? N [pm]: 2 × 175.3(4), 2 × 175.8(5); N? Cr? N [°]: 106.8(2), 109.5(2), 2 × 109.9(2), 2 × 110,3(2)). The coordination sphere for each of the terminal nitride functions of the complex anions is completed by five neighbouring Ba²⁺ ions (distorted CrBa₅ octahedra). The octahedra are connected via common CrBa₂ faces as well as CrBa edges thereby forming condensed tetrameric octahedral groups. The isolated nitride ions which are also present in the crystal structure of Ba₅[CrN₄]N are in an octahedral environment of Ba²⁺ ions. The presence of a d¹-System (Cr(V)) is confirmed by magnetic susceptibility data.     

The Crystal Structure of Ba2CuAlF9: a New Structure Type in Copper Fluoride Chemistry

Ba₂CuAlF₉ is monoclinic: a = 5.374(2) Å, b = 7.312(2) Å, c = 9.371(3) Å, β = 90.20(1)°, Z = 2, space group P2₁/c (n° 14). The crystal structure was solved from X-ray single crystal data using 1071 unique reflections (900 with F_o/σ(F_o) > 4, R factor = 0.075). It is built up from infinite isolated cis chains of [MF₆] mixed occupied fluorine octahedra sharing each, one edge and one vertex (M is randomly Cu or Al). An analogous kind of linkage was already observed for two other compounds from the ternary system BaF₂/CuF₂/AlF₃. Close structural relationships exist between the cationic subnetworks of γ-BaAlF₅ and Ba₂CuAlF₉.     

Die Kristallstruktur des gemischtvalenten Eisenfluoridhydrates Fe3F8 · 2 H2O

Crystal Structure of the Mixed-Valence Iron Fluorid Hydrate Fe₃F₈ · 2 H₂O Newly prepared was the red, monoclinic compound Fe₃F₈ · 2 H₂O, single crystals of which could be obtained under hydrothermal high pressure conditions (space group C2/m with a = 761.2(3), b = 750.0(1), c = 746.9(3) pm, β = 118.38(2)° and Z = 2). The X-ray structure determination (R_G = 0.0192 and 635 reflexions) yielded a framework structure, in which layers of octahedra 2[Fe^IIIF_6/2] are connected via corners of [Fe^IIF_4/2(H₂O)₂]-octahedra. The average distances in the nearly ideal octahedra are Fe^III? F = 193.0, Fe^II? F = 208.1 and Fe^II? OH₂ = 211.5 pm.     

Synthesis and Structure of Ba7F12Cl2

Crystals of ordered and disordered Ba₇F₁₂Cl₂ were prepared by flux growth and solid state reactions. These new structures were characterized by single crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction. The disordered variant which shows disorder on one of the cation sites was obtained from a BaF₂ + BaCl₂ + NaCl/NaF flux. It has hexagonal space group P6₃/m (176) with one formula unit per unit cell. The lattice constants are a = b = 1059.55(5) pm and c = 420.10(4) pm (at 21 °C). The structure was refined to R(R_w) = 0.026(0.030) for 346 independent reflections and 26 parameters. Slow cooling of a mixture of BaF₂ and LiCl yields the ordered variant. This one crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6 (174) with one formula per unit cell. Lattice constants at 21 °C are a = b = 1063.46(2) pm and c = 417.52(1) pm. The structure was refined to R(R_w) = 0.017 (0.017) for 638 independent reflections and 45 parameters. The structural arrangement and the interatomic distances of the two variants are mutually similar. The barium atoms have coordination number nine. Propeller‐type arrangements with a chloride ion on the axis and the fluoride ions as blades are observed. These latter ones are interconnected into ‘channels' of tricapped fluoride prisms. Occupation disorder of the barium sites in the channels of the disordered variant makes the main difference between the two. An unexpectedly high X‐ray density obtained for both variants of Ba₇F₁₂Cl₂ can be correlated to the density of other barium fluorohalides having a coordination number of nine for the barium ion.     

The Ternary System BaF2/CuF2/AlF3 and the Crystal Structure of Ba45Cu28Al17F197

The ternary system BaF₂/CuF₂/AlF₃ is investigated by X‐ray diffraction techniques and an isothermal section at 620 °C is established. It exhibits ten quaternary phases and among them Ba₄₅Cu₂₈Al₁₇F₁₉₇. This fluoride has a triclinic cell: a = 14.024(1) Å, b = 23.778(1) Å, c = 25.480(1) Å, α = 90.44(1)°, β = 90.26(1)°, γ = 107.03(1)°, Z = 2. Its crystal structure was solved in the space group P1 (n^o1), from X‐ray single crystal data using 41976 unique reflections. It is built up from a complex arrangement of aluminium and copper fluorine polyhedra, which are regular [AlF₆] and strongly distorted [CuF₆] octahedra, [CuF₆] trigonal prisms and [Cu₂F₁₀] bipolyhedral units constituted either by two octahedra, or one octahedron and one trigonal prism, connected by an edge. These polyhedra are organized in planes of about two octahedra thickness, which form a succession of sheets running perpendicularly to the [100] direction of the cell. Each sheet is constituted by infinite chains of distorted polyhedra connected by edges and vertices and linked together by the vertices of blocks of four and six polyhedra, involving aluminium fluorine octahedra and copper fluorine bipolyhedral units or octahedra. The barium ions, 10 to 14‐coordinated to fluorine atoms, ensure the electroneutrality of the structure. They are inserted inside the planes.     

Röntgenographische Einkristallstrukturbestimmungen an den Kalium-Kupfer(II)-Fluoriden K2CuF4 und K3Cu2F7

X-Ray Single Crystal Structure Determinations of the Potassium Copper(II) Fluorides K₂CuF₄ and K₃Cu₂F₇ With single crystals of the tetragonal compounds K₂CuF₄ (a = 414.7(2), c = 1273(3) pm) and K₃Cu₂F₇ (a = 415.6(3), c = 2052(3) pm), showing no superstructure reflections, crystal structure determinations were based on space group I4/mmm of the K₂NiF₄ and Sr₃Ti₂O₇ type, resp. The shape of F₀-Fourier maxima at the positions of linking fluorine atoms within the layers of octahedra suggested disorder of bridging ligands caused by multidomain structure, which could be refined assuming half occupation of higherfold positions. The results confirmed the Jahn-Teller-distortions of octahedra being elongated with a significant orthorhombic component: Cu? F = 190.9(7)/193.9(2)/223.8(7) pm in K₂CuF₄ (R_W = 0.020) and 190.0(7)/194.7/225.6(7) pm in K₃Cu₂F₇ (R_W = 0.023). In the acentric octahedra of the latter compound the intermediate distance is averaged from the splitted lengths 192.7(4)/196.8(1) pm of axes along the c direction.     

The Crystal Structure of Ba58Ga22F180O

The crystal structure of Ba₅₈Ga₂₂F₁₈₀O is established by means of X‐ray single crystal diffraction. It is tetragonal: a = 22.033(1) Å, c = 17.626(1) Å, Z = 2. The structure is solved in the space group I4/mmm (n° 139), using 3219 independent reflections. It is mainly built from a deficient arrangement of fluorite‐type [FBa₄] tetrahedra connected by edges and vertices which constitutes the skeleton of the structure, giving rise to large cavities in which lie isolated fluorine ions in tetrahedral and octahedral barium environment, isolated [F₂Ba₆] bitetrahedra, isolated barium ions in eight‐coordination of fluorine and a complex arrangement of isolated [GaF₆] octahedra and isolated [Ga₂F₁₀O] bioctahedra.

A New Quaternary Oxotitanate: Ba₄Ti₁₀Al₂O₂₇ Single crystal of Ba₄Ti₁₀Al₂O₂₇ were prepared by heating oxide mixtures with NaOH flux for 20 days to 1300°C. X-ray investigations show monoclinic symmetry: a = 1973.7; b = 1134.9; c = 983.7 pm; β = 109.4°; space group C_2h³—C2/m. Ti⁴⁺/Al³⁺ occupy statistically more or less distorted octahedra, Ba²⁺ has an coordination number of 11 or 12, respectively. The complex frame work of octahedra is discussed.
