Cs₂(H₃O)Pr(CH₃COO)₆ and Cs₂Pr(CH₃COO)₅: Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Thermolysis. Analogous Acetates with Lanthanum through Terbium Single crystals of Cs₂(H₃O)Pr(CH₃COO)₆ are obtained as green plates from an acetic acid solution (≈50%) of Cs₂CO₃ and Pr(CH₃COO)₃ · 1,5 H₂O. The crystal structure monoclinic, Cm, Z = 2, a = 1 540.4(4), b = 691.3(2), c = 1 221.5(4) pm, β = 104.60(5)°, V_m = 379.1(2) cm³/mol, R = 0.040, R_w = 0.035 was determined from four-circle-diffractometer data. The structure consists of monomeric Pr(CH₃COO)₃ units, in which Pr³⁺ is surrounded by nine oxygen atoms. These monomers are linked together to infinite layers parallel (001) by common acetate oxygen atoms with two ?molecules”? of Cs(CH₃COO). Together with an additional acetate ion coordinated to one of the Cs⁺ ions the composition of the layers is [Cs₂Pr(CH₃COO)₆]^?. Between these layers H₃O⁺ is located for electroneutrality. Thermal decomposition of Cs₂(H₃O)Pr(CH₃COO)₆ was examined with thermoanalytical methods (TG/DTA with coupled gas analysis), Guinier-Simon technique and IR spectroscopy: beginning at 70°C the compound looses water and acetic acid. It decomposes topotactically to Cs₂Pr(CH₃COO)₅. At 270°C this acetate decomposes to Cs₂CO₃ and Pr₂O₂CO₃ which emits CO₂ at 600°C form ing Pr₂O₃or PrO_2?x Single crystals of Cs₂Pr(CH₃COO)₅ were obtained from Pr(CH₃COO)₃, in molten Cs(CH₃COO) at about 200°C.

The structures consist of one-dimensional infinite chains built up by bridging acetate ions. Ho³⁺ is coordinated by 8 oxygen atoms, whereas Lu³⁺ has only 7 nearest oxygen neighbours. The chains are stacked parallel to the [001] direction. Isotypic compounds with Tm? Lu (type 1) and Sm? Er, Y (type 2) were prepared as powders and characterized by X-ray powder patterns. Thermoanalytical investigations (DTA, Guinier-Simon technique) of all compounds have shown that there is a first-order phase transition at 180°C (type 2) and in the range of 230–255°C (type 1). The high-temperature phase crystallizes with the known Sc(CH₃COO)₃ structure (type 0) where the rare earth cations are surrounded by 6 oxygen atoms.

Space group P2/n (no. 13), Z = 2; 1 : a = 769.20(10), b = 1158.80(10), c = 1075.00(10) pm, β = 92.67(2)°, V = 0.9572(2) nm³; 2 : a = 761.18(9), b = 1135.69(9), c = 1080.89(9) pm, β = 92.276(7)°, V = 0.9337(2) nm³. M²⁺ (M = Mn, Co), which is situated on a twofold crystallographic axis, is coordinated in a moderately distorted octahedral fashion by two water molecules, two oxygen atoms of the phthalate anions and two nitrogen atoms of 4,4′‐biypyridine ( 1 : M–O 219.5(2), 220.1(2) pm, M–N 225.3(2), 227.2(2) pm; 2 : Co–O 212.7(2), 213.7(2) pm, Co–N 213.5(3), 214.9(3) pm). M²⁺ and [C₆H₄(COO)₂)]^2? build up chains, which are linked by 4,4′‐biyridine molecules to yield a two‐dimensional coordination polymer with layers parallel to (001).Thermogravimetric analysis in air of 1 indicated a loss of water of crystallization between 154 and 212 °C and in 2 between 169 and 222 °C.     

Das erste Vanadium(III)‐Borophosphat: Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von CsV3(H2O)2[B2P4O16(OH)4]

The First Vanadium(III) Borophosphate: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions (T = 165 °C) from mixtures of CsOH_(aq), VCl₃, H₃BO₃, and H₃PO₄ (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 1 : 2). The crystal structure was determined by X‐ray single crystal methods (monoclinic; space group C2/m, No. 12): a = 958.82(15) pm, b = 1840.8(4) pm, c = 503.49(3) pm; β = 110.675(4)°; Z = 2. The anionic partial structure contains oligomeric units [BP₂O₈(OH)₂]^5–, which are built up by a central BO₂(OH)₂ tetrahedron and two PO₄ tetrahedra sharing common corners. V^III is octahedrally coordinated by oxygen of adjacent phosphate tetrahedra and OH groups of borate tetrahedra as well as oxygen of phosphate tetrahedra and H₂O molecules, respectively (coordination octahedra VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂). The oxidation state +3 for vanadium was confirmed by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. The trimeric borophosphate groups are connected via vanadium centres to form layers with octahedra‐tetrahedra ring systems, which are likewise linked via V^III‐coordination octahedra. Overall, a three‐dimensional framework constructed from VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra as well as BO₂(OH)₂ and PO₄ tetrahedra results. The structure contains channels running along [001], which are occupied by Cs⁺ in a distorted octahedral coordination (CsO₄(H₂O)₂).
