The reaction of CuBr₂, N(CH₂CH₂COOH)₃, and Nd(NO₃)₃·6H₂O in water adjusted pH = 5‐6 with H₂SO₄ at constant 55 °C afforded a novel three‐dimensional coordination complex [Cu₁₂(SO₄)₁₂(3H₂O)]·H₂O, ( 1 ), which was characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and X‐ray diffraction. The crystal structure data of 1 as follows: Cubic, , a = b = c = 24.018(2) Å, V = 13855 (3) ų, Z = 968, D_c = 1.905 g/cm³, F(000) = 7712, R₁ = 0.0352, wR₂ = 0.0866 (I > 2σ(I)), R₁ = 0.0449, wR₂ = 0.0927 (for all data) and S = 1.075. The analysis of crystal structure indicates that the structure of 1 is similar to that of silicate zeolite (Na₁₂[Al₁₂Si₁₂O₄₈]·27H₂O).     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Properties of the Isotypic Pair [Cr(H2O)6]2[B12H12]3·15H2O and [In(H2O)6]2[B12H12]3·15H2O

Single crystals of [Cr(H₂O)₆]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃ · 15H₂O and [In(H₂O)₆]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃ · 15H₂O were obtained by reactions of aqueous solutions of the acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with chromium(III) hydroxide and indium metal shot, respectively. The title compounds crystallize isotypically in the trigonal system with space group R$\bar{3}$ c (a = 1157.62(3), c = 6730.48(9) pm for the chromium, a = 1171.71(3), c = 6740.04(9) pm for the indium compound, Z = 6). The arrangement of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– dianions can be considered as stacking of two times nine layers with the sequence …ABCCABBCA… and the metal trications arrange in a cubic closest packed …abc… stacking sequence. The metal trications are octahedrally coordinated by six water molecules of hydration, while another fifteen H₂O molecules fill up the structures as zeolitic crystal water or second‐sphere hydrating species. Between these free and the metal‐bonded water molecules, bridging hydrogen bonds are found. Furthermore, there is also evidence of hydrogen bonding between the anionic [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– clusters and the free zeolitic water molecules according to B–H^δ– ··· ^δ+H–O interactions. Vibrational spectroscopy studies prove the presence of these hydrogen bonds and also show slight distortions of the dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate anions from their ideal icosahedral symmetry (I_h). Thermal decomposition studies for the example of [Cr(H₂O)₆]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃ · 15H₂O gave no hints for just a simple multi‐stepwise dehydration process.     

Crystal Structure,Synthesis, and Properties of tri‐Calcium di‐Citrate tetra‐Hydrate [Ca3(C6H5O7)2(H2O)2]·2H2O

From hydrothermal synthesis needle‐shaped crystals of [Ca₃(C₆H₅O₇)₂(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O were obtained. The crystal structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray experiments and confirmed by powder data (P$\bar{1}$ (no. 2) a = 5.9466(4), b = 10.2247(8), c = 16.6496(13) Å, α = 72.213(7)°, β = 79.718(7)°, γ = 89.791(6)°, V = 947.06(13) Å³, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0426, wR2 = 0.1037). The structure was obtained from pseudo merohedrically polysynthetic twinned crystals using a combined data collection approach and refinement processes. The observed three‐dimensional network is dominated by eightfold coordinated Ca²⁺ cations linked by citrate anions and hydrogen bonds between two non‐coordinating crystal water molecules and two coordinating water molecules.     

Das Lanthan‐Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborat‐Hydrat [La(H2O)9]2[B12H12]3·15 H2O und sein Oxonium‐Chlorid‐Derivat [La(H2O)9](H3O)Cl2[B12H12]·H2O

The Lanthanum Dodecahydro‐closo‐Dodecaborate Hydrate [La(H₂O)₉]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃·15 H₂O and its Oxonium‐Chloride Derivative [La(H₂O)₉](H₃O)Cl₂[B₁₂H₁₂]·H₂O By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with basic La₂O₃ and after isothermic evaporation colourless, face‐rich single crystals of a water‐rich lanthanum(III) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate hydrate [La(H₂O)₉]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃·15 H₂O are isolated. The compound crystallizes in the trigonal system with the centrosymmetric space group (a = 1189.95(2), c = 7313.27(9) pm, c/a = 6.146; Z = 6; measuring temperature: 100 K). The crystal structure of [La(H₂O)₉]₂[B₁₂H₁₂]₃·15 H₂O can be characterized by two of each other independent, one into another posed motives of lattice components. The [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ anions (d(B–B) = 177–179 pm; d(B–H) = 105–116 pm) are arranged according to the samarium structure, while the La³⁺ cations are arranged according to the copper structure. The lanthanum cations are coordinated in first sphere by nine oxygen atoms from water molecules in form of a threecapped trigonal prism (d(La–O) = 251–262 pm). A coordinative influence of the [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ anions on La³⁺ has not been determined. Since “zeolitic” water of hydratation is also present, obviously the classical H–O^δ–···^+δH–O‐hydrogen bonds play a significant role in the stabilization of the crystal structure. During the conversion of an aqueous solution of (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with lanthanum trichloride an anion‐mixed salt with the composition [La(H₂O)₉](H₃O)Cl₂[B₁₂H₁₂]·H₂O is obtained. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal system with the non‐centrosymmetric space group (a = 808.84(3), c = 2064.51(8) pm, c/a = 2.552; Z = 2; measuring temperature: 293 K). The crystal structure can be characterized as a layer‐like structure, in which [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ anions and H₃O⁺ cations alternate with layers of [La(H₂O)₉]³⁺ cations (d(La–O) = 252–260 pm) and Cl⁻ anions along [001]. The [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ (d(B–B) = 176–179 pm; d(B–H) = 104–113 pm) and Cl⁻ anions exhibit no coordinative influence on La³⁺. Hydrogen bonds are formed between the H₃O⁺ cations and [B₁₂H₁₂]²⁻ anions, also between the water molecules of [La(H₂O)₉]³⁺ and Cl⁻ anions, which contribute to the stabilization of the crystal structure.     

One‐dimensional Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymers: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [Cd(H2O)3(C5H6O4)]·2H2O,Cd(H2O)2(C6H8O4), and Cd(H2O)2(C8H12O4)

[Cd(H₂O)₃(C₅H₆O₄)]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and Cd(H₂O)₂(C₆H₈O₄) ( 2 ) were prepared from reactions of fresh CdCO₃ precipitate with aqueous solutions of glutaric acid and adipic acid, respectively, while Cd(H₂O)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄) ( 3 ) crystallized in a filtrate obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of CdCl₂·2.5H₂O, suberic acid and H₂O. Compound 1 consists of hydrogen bonded water molecules and linear {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} chains, which result from the pentagonal bipyramidally coordinated Cd atoms bridged by bis‐chelating glutarato ligands. In 2 and 3 , the six‐coordinate Cd atoms are bridged by bis‐chelating adipato and suberato ligands into zigzag chains according to {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} and {[Cd(H₂O)₂](C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2}, respectively. The hydrogen bonds between water and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are responsible for the supramolecular assemblies of the zigzag chains into 3D networks.

Two coordination polymers {[Cd(phen)](C₆H₈O₄)_3/3} ( 1 ) and {[Cd(phen)](C₇H₁₀O₄)_3/3} · 2H₂O ( 2 ) were structurally characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction methods.

Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Novel Oxide Pb2V5O12

The crystal structure of the new oxide Pb₂V₅O₁₂ was determined from X‐ray single crystal and neutron powder diffraction data. The oxide is monoclinic, space group P2/c with a = 8.408(2), b = 5.017(1), c = 11.940(2) Å, β = 98.42(3)°, Z = 2. The crystal structure of Pb₂V₅O₁₂ consists of isolated layers formed by edge and corner sharing VO₅ square pyramids with short vanadyl bonds directed above and below the layers. Six pyramids linked by corner form so‐called “tiling plaquettes”. Neighboring plaquettes are linked by edge sharing. The Pb cations are located in the interstitial positions between layers. The structure of Pb₂V₅O₁₂ is closely related to the MV O_2n+1 homologous series known for Ca, Sr and Cd. Electron diffraction and high resolution electrom microscopy study confirm the crystal structure data and revealed a phase transition induced by irradiation resulting in the formation of a disordered orthorhombic phase (a ≈ 3.75, b ≈ 3.79, c ≈ 5.03 Å) which corresponds to a sublattice of the plaquette‐built structure. The analyses of related structures allowed to suggest a more general formula for this homologous series: M_mV_m+nO_3m+2n. The structures of such compounds may be described by shear planes formed by a shift of the VO₂ units over a 1/2* [110] translation starting from the parent “VO₂” or “MVO₃” structures. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of Pb₂V₅O₁₂ indicate low dimensional behavior and a strong antiferromagnetic exchange within the plaquettes with J of the order of 190 K. Anomalies observed in the susceptibility and the specific heat indicate magnetic order at T_N = 26 K.     

Crystal Structures of [Mn2(H2O)4(bpy)2(C8H12O4)2] · 2 H2O and [Mn(H2O)2(bpy)(C8H12O4)2/2] · H2O with bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine

Reaction of MnSO₄ · H₂O, 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy), suberic acid and Na₂CO₃ in CH₃OH/H₂O yielded a mixture of [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(bpy)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)₂] · 2 H₂O ( 1 ) and [Mn(H₂O)₂‐ (bpy)(C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2] · H₂O ( 2 ). In both complexes, the Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bpy ligand and four O atoms of two trans positioned H₂O molecules and two suberato ligands (d(Mn–O) = 2.107–2.328 Å; d(Mn–N) = 2.250–2.330 Å). The bis‐monodentate suberato ligands bridge Mn atoms to form dinuclear [Mn₂(H₂O)₄(bpy)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)₂] complex molecules in 1 and 1D [Mn(H₂O)₂(bpy)(C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2] chains in 2 . Via the intermolecular hydrogen bondings and π‐π stacking interactions, the dinuclear molecules in 1 are assembled into 2D networks parallel to (100), between which the crystal H₂O molecules are sandwiched. The polymeric chains in 2 are linked together by interchain hydrogen bonding and π‐π stacking interactions into 3D networks with the crystal H₂O molecules located in tunnels along [010].

Crystal data for 2 : P2₁/c (no. 14), a = 11.176(2) Å, b = 9.688(1) Å, c = 37.842(6) Å, β = 90.06(1)° and Z = 8.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Characterization of a new Protonated Magnesium Borophosphate: (H3O)Mg(H2O)2[BP2O8]·H2O

A new protonated borophosphate (H₃O)Mg(H₂O)₂[BP₂O₈]·H₂O ( 1 ) was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and TG‐DTA. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal system, space group P6(1)22 (No 178), a = 9.4462(7) Å, c = 15.759(2) Å, V = 1217.8(2) Å³, and Z = 6. There exist infinite helical $^1_\infty$ {[BP₂O₈]^3–} ribbons built up from corner‐sharing PO₄ and BO₄ tetrahedra, which are connected by MgO₄(H₂O)₂ leading to an infinite three‐dimensional open‐framework. The H₃O⁺ ions are located at the free thread of the helical ribbons, whereas crystallized water occupy the channels of the helical ribbons. The dehydration of the compound occurs at a higher temperature which is presumably due to the anisotropic hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. The luminescent properties of the compound were studied.     

Zwei Dodekahydro‐closo‐Dodekaborate mit Lone‐Pair‐Kationen der 6. Periode im Vergleich: Tl2[B12H12] und Pb(H2O)3[B12H12]·3H2O

During the reaction of an aqueous solution of (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with Tl₂CO₃ anhydrous thallium(I) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate Tl₂[B₁₂H₁₂] is obtained as colorless, spherical single crystals. It crystallizes in the cubic system with the centrosymmetric space group Fm$\bar{3}$ (a = 1074.23(8) pm, Z = 4) in an anti‐CaF₂ type structure. Four quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– anions (d(B–B) = 180–181 pm, d(B–H) = 111 pm) exhibit coordinative influence on each Tl⁺ cation and provide a twelvefold coordination in the shape of a cuboctahedron (d(Tl–H) = 296 pm). There is no observable stereochemical activity of the non‐bonding electron pairs (6s² lone pairs) at the Tl⁺ cations. By neutralization of an aqueous solution of the acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with PbCO₃ and after isothermic evaporation colorless, plate‐like single crystals of lead(II) dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate hexahydrate Pb(H₂O)₃[B₁₂H₁₂] · 3H₂O can be isolated. This compound crystallizes orthorhombically with the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pna2₁ (a = 1839.08(9), b = 1166.52(6), c = 717.27(4) pm, Z = 4). The crystal structure of Pb(H₂O)₃[B₁₂H₁₂] · 3H₂O is characterized as a layer‐like arrangement. The Pb²⁺ cations are coordinated in first sphere by only three oxygen atoms from water molecules (d(Pb–O) = 247–248 pm). But a coordinative influence of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– anions (d(B–B) = 173–181 pm, d(B–H) = 93–122 pm) on lead has to be stated, too, as three hydrogen atoms from three different hydroborate anions are attached to the Pb²⁺ cations (d(Pb–H) = 258–270 pm) completing their first‐sphere coordination number to six. These three oxygen and three hydrogen ligands are arranged as quite irregular polyhedron leaving enough space for a stereochemical lone‐pair activity (6sp) at each Pb²⁺ cation. Since additional intercalating water of hydration is present as well, both classical H–O^δ– ··· ^+δH–O‐ and unconventional B–H^δ– ··· ^+δH–O hydrogen bonds play a significant role in the stabilization of the entire crystal structure.     

A New Transition Metal Tetracyanidoborate: Synthesis,Structure and Properties of Co[B(CN)4]2·2H2O

The reaction of tetracyanidoboronic acid, H[B(CN)₄], with CoCO₃ or Co(OH)₂ in aqueous solution leads after slow evaporation of water to single crystals of Co[B(CN)₄]₂ · 2H₂O. The compound has been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction ( , a = 12.2922(9), c = 9.2235(7) Å, Z = 4). The Co²⁺ ion is octahedrally coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of four different tetracyanidoborate CN groups occupying the four equatorial positions and two molecules of water occupying the remaining corners of the octahedron. The single crystal X‐ray structure, the vibrational spectra, and the thermal properties are compared with other known tetracyanidoborates with divalent cations.

Strukturelle Untersuchungen an Cs2[B12H12]

Structural Investigations on Cs₂[B₁₂H₁₂] The crystal structure of Cs₂[B₁₂H₁₂] has been determined from X‐ray single‐crystal data collected at room temperature. Dicesium dodecahydro‐closo‐dodecaborate crystallizes as colourless, face‐rich crystals (cubic, Fm 3; a = 1128.12(7) pm; Z = 4). Its synthesis is based on the reaction of Na[BH₄] with BF₃(O(C₂H₅)₂) via the decomposition of Na[B₃H₈] in boiling diglyme, followed by subsequent separations, precipitations (with aqueous CsOH solution) and recrystallizations. The crystal structure is best described as anti‐CaF₂‐type arrangement with the Cs⁺ cations in all tetrahedral interstices of the cubic closest‐packed host lattice of the icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2–‐cluster dianions. The intramolecular bond lengths are in the range usually found in closo‐hydroborates: 178 pm for the B–B and 112 pm for the B–H distance. Twelve hydrogen atoms belonging to four [B₁₂H₁₂]^2– icosahedra provide an almost perfect cuboctahedral coordination sphere to the Cs⁺ cations, and their distance of 313 pm (12 ×) attests for the salt‐like character of Cs₂[B₁₂H₁₂] according to {(Cs⁺)₂([B₁₂H₁₂]^2–)}. The ¹¹B{¹H}‐NMR data in aqueous (D₂O) solution are δ = –12,70 ppm (¹J_B–H = 125 Hz), and δ = –15,7 ppm (linewidth: δν_1/2 = 295 Hz) for the solid state ¹¹B‐MAS‐NMR.

The crystal structure consists of 1D {[M(phen)(H₂O)]‐(C₆H₈O₄)_2/2} zigzag chains, in which the metal atoms are all octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligands and four O atoms of one H₂O molecule and two adipato ligands. The zigzag chains are held together by interchain π‐π stacking interactions and interchain hydrogen bonds.

MII(C4H12N2)[B2P3O12(OH)] (MII = Co,Zn): Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Novel Open Framework Borophosphates

Two novel borophosphates, M^II(C₄H₁₂N₂)[B₂P₃O₁₂(OH)] (M^II = Co, Zn), exhibiting open frameworks, have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions (T = 165 °C). The crystal structures of the isotypic compounds have been determined both at 293 K (orthorhombic, Ima2 (no. 46), Z = 4; M^II = Co: a = 12.4635(4) Å, b = 9.4021(4) Å, c = 11.4513(5) Å, V = 1341.90 ų, R₁ = 0.0202, wR₂ = 0.0452, 2225 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I); M^II = Zn: a = 12.4110(9) Å, b = 9.4550(5) Å, c = 11.4592(4) Å, V = 1344.69 ų, R₁ = 0.0621, wR₂ = 0.0926, 1497 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I)). Distorted CoO₆‐octahedra and ZnO₅‐square‐pyramids, respectively, share common oxygen‐corners with BO₄‐, PO₄‐ and (HO)PO₃‐tetrahedra. The tetrahedral groups are linked via common corners to form infinite loop‐branched borophosphate chains [B₂P₃O₁₂(OH)^4–]. The open framework of M^II‐coordination polyhedra and tetrahedral borophosphate chains contains a three‐dimensional system of interconnected structural channels running along [100], [011] and [011], respectively, which are occupied by di‐protonated piperazinium ions.     

Einfluss von H‐Brückenbindungen auf die Jahn–Teller‐Verzerrung in den Kettenstrukturen von 2,2′‐bipyMn(H2PO4)F2·H2O und 2,2′‐bipyMn(H2PO4)2F

In the system 2,2′‐bipyridine/Mn^III/HF/H₃PO₄/H₂O two compounds with chain structures could be prepared and characterised by X‐ray structure analyses. 2,2′‐bipyMn(H₂PO₄)F₂·H₂O ( 1 ): monoclinic, twinned, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.7883(4), b = 10.9147(5), c = 17.8102(8) Å, β = 100.142(4)°, R = 0.0328. 2,2′‐bipyMn(H₂PO₄)₂F ( 2 ): triclinic, space group P , Z = 2, a = 6.675(1), b = 10.715(1), c = 11.013(1) Å, α = 107.595(9)°, β = 90.994(9)°, γ = 95.784(8)°, R = 0.0252. Both compounds show chain structures with trans‐bridging dihydrogenphosphate ligands and bipy and two fluorine ligands for ( 1 ), or bipy, fluorine and an additional dihydrogenphosphate, respectively, for ( 2 ) in equatorial positions. Due to the pseudo‐Jahn–Teller effect, Mn^III shows elongated octahedral coordination with ferrodistortive ordering along the chain direction. The distortion is remarkably higher in ( 1 ) than in ( 2 ). This is discussed in context with additional hydrogen bonds along the chain in ( 2 ).     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Variable‐Temperature‐Luminescent Property of the Organically Templated Pentaborate [C10N2H9][B5O6(OH)4]·H3BO3·H2O

The organically templated pentaborate [C₁₀N₂H₉][B₅O₆(OH)₄] · H₃BO₃ · H₂O ( 1a ) was synthesized by boric acid and 4, 4′‐bipyridine in aqueous solution and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X‐ray diffraction, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P$\bar{1}$ (a = 9.196(3) Å, b = 9.822(3) Å, c = 12.113(3) Å, α = 66.243(3)°, β = 76.998(3)°, γ = 75.067(3)°, V = 958.4(5) ų, and Z = 2). The polyanions form a novel 3D supramolecular network with three kinds of channels by extensive hydrogen bonds. The title compound shows a UV photoluminescence with an emission maximum at 372 nm upon excitation at 248 nm, and the photoluminescence can be modified from UV to blue by means of a simple heat‐treatment process. The pentaborate could be a promising blue component for possible application in the white LED.
