Synthesis and structural investigation of the compounds containing HF2 anions: Ca(HF2)2, Ba4F4(HF2)(PF6)3 and Pb2F2(HF2)(PF6)

Three new compounds Ca(HF₂)₂, Ba₄F₄(HF₂)(PF₆)₃ and Pb₂F₂(HF₂)(PF₆) were obtained in the system metal(II) fluoride and anhydrous HF (aHF) acidified with excessive PF₅. The obtained polymeric solids are slightly soluble in aHF and they crystallize out of their aHF solutions. Ca(HF₂)₂ was prepared by simply dissolving CaF₂ in a neutral aHF. It represents the second known compound with homoleptic HF environment of the central atom besides Ba(H₃F₄)₂. The compounds Ba₄F₄(HF₂)(PF₆)₃ and Pb₂F₂(HF₂)(PF₆) represent two additional examples of the formation of a polymeric zigzag ladder or ribbon composed of metal cation and fluoride anion (MF⁺)_n besides PbF(AsF₆), the first isolated compound with such zigzag ladder. The obtained new compounds were characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction method and partly by Raman spectroscopy.

The framework of CdGe(OH)₃PO₄ is built by a mixed network of GeO₆, CdO₆ octahedra and PO₄ tetrahedra, which are linked to form a 3-membered ring (3-MR). The GeO₆ and CdO₆ octahedra share common vertexes and edges, respectively, to form one-dimensional (1D) Ge-O-Ge and Cd-O-Cd chains, which are further connected forming corrugated Ge-O-Cd layers. The layers are linked by PO₄ tetrahedra, leading to a 3D open-framework structure with 3- and 6-MR channels.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of two tin fluoride materials: NaSnF3 (BING-12) and Sn3F3PO4

A new compound, sodium tin trifluoride (NaSnF₃, which we denote BING-12 for SUNY at Binghamton, Structure No. 12), was synthesized solvothermally from a pyridine-water solvent system.

New process of preparation, structure, and physicochemical investigations of the new titanyl phosphate Ti2O(H2O)(PO4)2

New titanyl phosphate Ti₂O(H₂O)(PO₄)₂ has been prepared and characterized by X-ray and neutron diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and Raman spectroscopies and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystal structure has been solved from neutron powder diffraction data at 300 K by Rietveld method in P2₁ space group. The refinement led to satisfactory profile factors (R_p=2.7%, R_wp=3.2%) and crystal structure model indicators (R_B=5.8%, R_F=3.2%). The cell is monoclinic with a=7.3735 Å, b=7.0405 Å, c=7.6609 Å and β=121.48°, Z=4. The structure can be described as a three-dimensional framework built up by chains of [TiO₅(OH₂)] octahedra with alternative short bonds [Ti₍₁₎-O₍₁₂₎; Ti₍₂₎-O₍₁₂₎, 1.88-1.84 Å] and long ones [Ti₍₁₎-O_W; Ti₍₂₎-O_W, 2.25-2.23 Å] along c-axis and connected via [PO₄] tetrahedra. Oxygen atom denoted O₍₁₂₎ is only linked to two titanium atoms and Oxygen atom denoted O_W is linked to two titanium atoms and two hydrogen atoms. O₍₁₂₎ and O_W are not linked to P atoms and justify the titanyl phosphate formulation Ti₂O(H₂O)(PO₄)₂. The infrared and Raman spectra presents peaks due to vibrations of Ti-O, P-O and O-H bonds. The ³¹P MAS NMR spectrum reveals two ³¹P resonance lines, in agreement with the structure which showed two crystallographic sites for phosphorus. The thermogravimetric analysis show that Ti₂O(H₂O)(PO₄)₂ is thermally stable until 400 °C. Above this temperature, it losses water and decomposes to Ti₅O₄(PO₄)₄ and TiP₂O₇.     

Synthesis and single crystal structures of ternary phosphides Li4SrP2 and AAeP (A=Li, Na; Ae=Sr, Ba)

Two new (NaSrP, Li₄SrP₂) and two known (LiSrP, LiBaP) ternary phosphides have been synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. NaSrP crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric hexagonal space group (#189, a=7.6357(3) Å, c=4.4698(3) Å, V=225.69(2) Å³, Z=3, and R/wR=0.0173/0.0268). NaSrP adopts an ordered Fe₂P structure type. PSr₆ trigonal prisms share trigonal (pinacoid) faces to form 1D chains. Those chains define large channels along the [001] direction through edge-sharing. The channels are filled by chains of PNa₆ face-sharing trigonal prisms. Li₄SrP₂ crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group (#166, a=4.2813(2) Å, c=23.437(2) Å, V=372.04(4) Å³, Z=3, and R/wR=0.0142/0.0222). In contrast to previous reports, LiSrP and LiBaP crystallize in the centrosymmetric hexagonal space group P6₃/mmc (#194, a=4.3674(3) Å, c=7.9802(11) Å, V=131.82(2) Å³, Z=2, and R/wR=0.0099/0.0217 for LiSrP; a=4.5003(2) Å, c=8.6049(7) Å, V=150.92(2) Å³, Z=2, and R/wR=0.0098/0.0210 for LiBaP). Li₄SrP₂, LiSrP, and LiBaP can be described as Li₃P derivatives. Li atoms and P atoms make a graphite-like hexagonal layer, . In LiSrP and LiBaP, Sr or Ba atoms reside between layers to substitute for two Li atoms of Li₃P, while in Li₄SrP₂, Sr substitutes only between every other layer.

Both crystallographically independent Ba atoms possess coordination polyhedra in the shape of tri-capped trigonal prisms, which include F atoms from BF₄⁻ and PF₆⁻ anions. In the analogous system with AsF₅ instead of PF₅ the compound Ba(BF₄)(AsF₆) was isolated and characterized. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic Pnma space group with a=10.415(2) Å, b=6.325(3) Å, c=11.8297(17) Å, V=779.3(4) Å³ at 200 K, and Z=4. The coordination around Ba atom is in the shape of slightly distorted tri-capped trigonal prism which includes five F atoms from AsF₆⁻ and four F atoms from BF₄⁻ anions. When the system BaF₂/BF₃/AsF₅/aHF is made basic with an extra addition of BaF₂, the compound Ba₂(BF₄)₂(AsF₆)(H₃F₄) was obtained. It crystallizes in a hexagonal P6₃/mmc space group with a=6.8709(9) Å, c=17.327(8) Å, V=708.4(4) Å³ at 200 K, and Z=2. The barium environment in the shape of tetra-capped distorted trigonal prism involves 10 F atoms from four BF₄⁻, three AsF₆⁻ and three H₃F₄⁻ anions. All F atoms, except the central atom in H₃F₄ moiety, act as μ₂-bridges yielding a complex 3-D structural network.

The Ca atoms are six-coordinated by the O atoms to form octahedral coordination polyhedra, which are joined together through edges along the c-axis, forming infinitely long three-dimensional chains. The Li atoms have a four-fold and a five-fold coordination with O atoms that lead to complex Li-O-Li chains that also extend along the c-axis.

Synthesis, vibrational and NMR spectroscopic characterization of [N(CH3)4][IO2F2] and X-ray crystal structure of [N(CH3)4]2[IO2F2][HF2]

The salt, [N(CH₃)₄][IO₂F₂], was prepared from [N(CH₃)₄][IO₃] and 49% aqueous HF, and characterized by Raman, infrared, and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. Crystals of [N(CH₃)₄]₂[IO₂F₂][HF₂] were obtained by reduction of [N(CH₃)₄][cis-IO₂F₄] in the presence of [N(CH₃)₄][F] in CH₃CN solvent and were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction: C2/m, a = 14.6765(2) Å, b = 8.60490(10) Å, c = 13.9572(2) Å, β = 120.2040(10)°, V = 1523.35(3) Å³, Z = 4 and R = 0.0192 at 210 K. The crystal structure consists of two IO₂⁻F₂ anions that are symmetrically bridged by two H⁻F₂ anions, forming a [F₂O₂I(FHF)₂IO₂F₂]⁴⁻ dimer. The symmetric bridging coordination for the H⁻F₂ anion in this structure represents a new bonding modality for the bifluoride anion.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a layered vanadium oxide with an interlayer metal coordination complex: [Co(phen)3][V10O26]·H2O

A novel compound, [Co(phen)₃][V₁₀O₂₆]·H₂O, was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Two new titanium molybdenum arsenides: Ti2MoAs2 and Ti3MoAs3, ternary substitution variants of V3As2 and β-V4As3

The title compounds were prepared by arc-melting pre-annealed mixtures of Ti, Mo, and As. Both Ti₂MoAs₂ and Ti₃MoAs₃ adopt structures formed by the corresponding binary vanadium arsenides, V₃As₂ and β-V₄As₃. Ti₂MoAs₂ crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/m, with a=9.706(4) Å, c=3.451(2) Å, V=325.1(3) Å³ (Z=4), and Ti₃MoAs₃ in the monoclinic space group C2/m, with a=14.107(3) Å, b=3.5148(7) Å, c=9.522(2) Å, β=100.66(3)°, V=464.0(2) Å³ (Z=4). In both cases, the metal atoms form infinite chains of trans edge-condensed octahedra, and the As atoms are located in (capped) trigonal prismatic voids. While most metal atom sites exhibit mixed Ti/Mo occupancies, the Mo atoms prefer the sites with more metal atom and fewer As atom neighbors. Ti₂MoAs₂ and Ti₃MoAs₃ are metallic entropy-stabilized materials that decompose upon annealing at intermediate temperatures.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the First Ammonium Indium(III) Phosphate NH4In(OH)PO4 with Spiral Chains of InO4(OH)2

An ammonium indium hydrogen phosphate, NH₄In(OH)PO₄, was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions, and the crystal structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes with the RbIn(OH)PO₄ type with the following data: M_r=244.84, tetragonal, tP104, P4₃2₁2 (No.96), a=9.416(2) Å, c=11.159(3) Å, V=989.9(3) ų, Z=8, D_x=3.288 g cm⁻³, λ=0.71073 Å, μ=50.34 cm⁻¹, F(000)=928, T=293 K, R1=0.0606, wR2=0.1472 for 91 variables and 1813 contributing unique reflections. The structure is characterized by chiral InO₄(OH)₂ chains along the c axis formed by sharing OH corners. The chains are isolated by PO₄ tetrahedra leading to a three-dimensional framework structure with channels occupied by NH₄⁺ ions. The framework structure is similar to that of KIn(OH)PO₄ and γ-NaTiOPO₄. The hydrogen bonds formed by NH₄⁺ with the polyhedral oxygen atoms play an important role in the anisotropic changes of the lattice with respect to its alkali metal analogues. The topological construction of the title structure can be considered as an augmented 4,6-net with larger porosity.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of a Layered Fe(III) Carboxymethylphosphonate: [Fe(H2O)(O3P-CH2-CO2)] or MIL-49

[Fe^III(H₂O)(O₃P- (CH₂)-CO₂)] or MIL-49 was hydrothermally synthesized under autogenous pressure at 170°C for 48 h. Its bidimensional structure was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (No.14). Cell parameters are a =9.3836(3) Å, b=6.3798(3) Å, c=10.1371(3) Å, β=111.891(2)°, Z=4, and V=563.10(4) ų. Reliability factors of the structure refinement are R₁(F)=0.0470 and wR₂(F²)=0.1297 for 1036 reflections with I>2σ(I). The structure of MIL-49 is based on inorganic units built up from two edge-sharing [FeO₅(H₂O)] octahedra and two carboxymethylphosphonate groups. The connection of these units leads to the formation of hybrid sheets. A dangling oxygen atom from the carboxy function points toward the interlayer space and is responsible for hydrogen bonding with adjacent layers. Magnetic measurements and ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer study reveal an antiferromagnetic ordering below T_N=25(1) K which becomes canted below 11(1) K.
