Dodekahydro‐closo‐dodekaborate der schweren Erdalkalimetalle aus wäßriger Lösung: Ca(H2O)7[B12H12] · H2O,Sr(H2O)8[B12H12] und Ba(H2O)6[B12H12]

Dodecahydro‐ closo ‐dodecaborates of the Heavy Alkaline‐Earth Metals from Aqueous Solution: Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O, Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂], and Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] The crystalline hydrates of the heavy alkaline earth metal dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborates (M[B₁₂H₁₂] · n H₂O, n = 6–8; M = Ca, Sr, Ba) are easily accessible by reaction of an aqueous (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] solution with an alkaline earth metal carbonate (MCO₃). By isothermic evaporation of the respective aqueous solution we obtained colourless single crystals which are characterized by X‐ray diffraction at room temperature. The three compounds Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O (orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁; a = 1161.19(7), b = 1229.63(8), c = 1232.24(8) pm; Z = 4), Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂] (trigonal, R3; a = 1012.71(6), c = 1462.94(9) pm; Z = 3) and Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] (orthorhombic, Cmcm; a = 1189.26(7) pm, b = 919.23(5) pm, c = 1403.54(9) pm; Z = 4) are neither formula‐equal nor isostructural. The structure of Sr(H₂O)₈[B₁₂H₁₂] is best described as a NaCl‐type arrangement, Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] rather forms a layer‐like and Ca(H₂O)₇[B₁₂H₁₂] · H₂O a channel‐like structure. In first sphere the alkaline earth metal cations Ca²⁺ and Sr²⁺ are coordinated by just seven and eight oxygen atoms from the surrounding water molecules, respectively. A direct coordinative influence of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– cluster anions becomes noticeable only for the Ba²⁺ cations (CN = 12) in Ba(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂]. The dehydratation of the alkaline earth metal dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate hydrates has been shown to take place in several steps. Thermal treatment leads to the anhydrous compounds Ca[B₁₂H₁₂], Sr[B₁₂H₁₂] and Ba[B₁₂H₁₂] at 224, 164 and 116 °C, respectively.
