Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tricaesium Heptaphosphide–Ammonia(1/3) Cs3P7·3 NH3

Recrystallization of Cs₃P₇ from liquid NH₃ yields the triammoniate Cs₃P₇·3 NH₃, which loses the weakly bound NH₃ of crystallization below 253 K. A low-temperature crystal-structure analysis shows that Cs₃P₇· NH₃ consists of a framework of heptaphosphanortricyclane anions P and Cs⁺ cations with NH₃ molecules completing the coordination of the cations. The framework is built from Cs₃P₇ layers connected by only few Cs…?P interactions, the interlayer gap being filled by a two-dimensional network of NH₃. The Cs₇P₇ part of the structure completes a family of alkali-metal-polyphosphide substructures which range from [RbP₇]^2? or [CsP₁₁]^2? chains over [Cs₂P_n]^? layers (n = 7, 11) to now [Cs₃P₇] frameworks.     

Thermische Zersetzung und Lösungskalorimetrie von Ammoniumsamariumbromiden

Thermal Decomposition and Solution Calorimetry of Ammonium Samarium Bromides The ternary pure phases on the line SmBr₃—NH₄Br in the thermodynamically equilibrium have been synthesized by solid state reactions and characterized by X‐ray powderdiffraction. The existence of a new phase (NH₄)₃SmBr₆ was demonstrated beside the known phases (NH₄)₂SmBr₅ and NH₄Sm₂Br₇. The decomposition equilibria of the ammonium samarium bromides have been investigated by total pressure measurements and the thermodynamical data of the solid phase complexes derived from the decompostion functions. The standard enthalpies of solution in 4n HBr (aq.) of the ternary phases, SmBr₃ and Sm₂O₃, were measured and on the basis of these values and known data the standard enthalpies of ammonium samarium bromides were derived. The phase diagram is constructed on the basis of DTA measurements. Data from total pressure measurements: ΔH((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = —400, 0 ± 6, 5 kcal/mol S°((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = 146, 9 ± 8 cal/K · mol ΔH((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = —340, 6 ± 5, 0 kcal/mol S°((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = 106, 0 ± 6 cal/K · mol Δ(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = —479, 4 ± 6, 0 kcal/mol S°(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = 119, 5 ± 7 cal/K · mol Data from solution calorimetry: ΔH(SmBr_{3, f, 298}) = —204, 4 ± 1, 8 kcal/mol ΔH((NH₄)₃SmBr_{6, f, 298}) = —400, 7 ± 3, 2 kcal/mol ΔH((NH₄)₂SmBr_{5, f, 298}) = —339, 6 ± 2, 6 kcal/mol ΔH(NH₄Sm₂Br_{7, f, 298}) = —475, 6 ± 4, 4 kcal/mol     

L'action de l'ammoniac sur l'hydroxyde de cadmium et la stabilité des complexes en milieu aqueux

The solubility of precipitated Cd(OH)₂ was determined at 25°C in 1 M NaClO₄, as a function of pH and of the ammonia content of the solutions. Formation constants were obtained for the following hydroxo, ammine and hydroxo-ammine complexes: CdOH⁺, Cd(OH)₂, Cd(OH), CdNH, Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃), Cd(NH₃) and Cd(OH)₂NH₃. The solubility product of the hydroxide was also calculated. The presence of polynuclear species was investigated by titrimetric determinations of the hydrogen ion concentration at constant metal concentration.     

High- und Low-Spin-Verhalten des Ni3+ -Ions in oktaedrischer Koordination. (A) NiF-Polyeder

High and Low Spin Behaviour of Ni³⁺?Ions in Octahedral Coordination The compounds Cs₂NaNiF₆, Cs₂KNiF₆, Rb₂KNiF₆, K₃NiF₆, and Na₃NiF₆ were investigated by ligand field and EPR spectroscopy between 298 and 4,2 K. These fluorides ? with the exception of the first one – crystallise in the cubic elpasolite lattice or in distorted modifications of this structure type and contain the Ni³⁺ ions in the low spin configuration te. This configuration is stabilised versus the high spin alternative te by an appreciable Jahn-Teller splitting of the ²E_g-state of about 7000 cm^?1. The NiF₆-octahedra are tetragonally elongated, the distortion being dynamical at 298 K. In case of the cubic compound Rb₂KNiF₆ a transition to a tetragonal structure with c/a > 1 as a consequence of a ferrodistortive Jahn-Teller ordering is observed at lower temperatures. It is calculated from the anisotropic g-parameters, that the first excited quartet level ⁴A_2g(⁴T_1g ? te) has an energy which is about 1000 cm^?1 higher than that of the ²A_1g(²E_g ? te) groundstate. Spin-orbit interactions between the energetically neighboured ²A_1g(²E_g) and ⁴A_2g, ⁴E_g(⁴T_1g) states lead to third order contributions to the g-factors, which are very sensitive with respect to the doublet-quartet separation. In the hexagonal compound Cs₂NaNiF₆ finally, in which half of the Ni³⁺ ions occupy octahedral sites connected by common corners as in the other fluorides, while the other half is located in octahedral sites with common faces, high and low spin Ni³⁺ ions are found side by side. Obviously the latter half of these Ni³⁺ ions is geometrically restricted with respect to a Jahn-Teller distortion and hence the high spin configuration energetically favoured.

Synthesis and Structure of an Ammonium Diamidodioxophosphate(V), NH₄PO₂(NH₂)₂ The ammonolysis of P₃N₅ under ammonothermal conditions (T = 400°C, p(NH₃) = 6 kbar, 14 d in autoclaves) in the presence of small definite amounts of water leads to the formation of NH₄PO₂(NH₂)₂.

Röntgenographische und schwingungsspektroskopische Untersuchungen an wasserfreien Chloraten und Bromaten des Strontiums,Bariums und Bleis. Kristallstruktur des Sr(ClO3)2 und Sr(BrO3)2

X-ray, I.R., and Raman Studies of the Anhydrous Chlorates and Bromates of Strontium, Braium, and Lead. Crystal Structure of Sr(ClO₃)₂ and Sr(BrO₃)₂ . Single crystals of the hitherto badly characterized anhydrous halates Sr(ClO₃)₂, Sr(BrO₃)₂, Ba(BrO₃)₂, Pb(ClO₃)₂, and Pb(BrO₃)₂ have been obtained by crystallization from an aqueous solution or by heating aqueous suspensions of the corresponding monohydrates to 95, 185, 130, and 105°C, respectively, in a vacuum. The halates crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2–C (Z = 8) with the exception of Sr(BrO₃)₂, which is distorted to the monoclinic space group Cc? C (Z = 4). The crystal structure of Sr(ClO₃)₂ and Sr(BrO₃)₂ have been determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. In both compounds, distorted SrO₈ dodecahedra (bisphenoids) are connected to a four-connected three-dimensional net. The ClO ions and one of the two crystallographically non-equivalent BrO ions are strongly distorted. The structures of these compounds and those of Ba(IO₃)₂ and of Ba(ClO₃)₂ · 1 H₂O type compounds are related to a hypothetical AB₂ structure with diamond like arrangement of the metal ions of the common super group Fddd–D. The results of i.r. and Raman spectroscopic measurements are reported and discussed in terms of the crystal structures.     

RbLi(NH2)2, a Rubidium Amido Lithiate Investigated by X‐Ray and Neutron Diffraction

RbLi(NH₂)₂ and the fully deuterated compound are obtained in autoclaves by the reaction of RbNH₂/RbND₂ and Li metal in supercritical NH₃/ND₃ (470 K, 220 Mpa, 41 d). X‐ray single crystal and neutron powder diffraction led to a new type of crystal structure closely related to the ThCr₂Si₂type. It is an orthorhombic distorted variant with an ordered half occupation by lithium on tetrahedral sites of puckered 4⁴ nets of amide ions to{[Li(NH₂)_1/1(NH₂)_3/3]} units and fully filled up sites of CN = 8 by Rb. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma with Z = 4 and a = 7.772 (2)Å, b = 3.843 (1)Å, c = 11.583 (2)Å. It contains an unexpected hydrogen bridge bonding system between crystallographic different amide ions.     

Theoretical predictions of the structures and electronic spectra of C60NH with comparisons with the isoelectronic molecules C60O and C60CH2

Intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO ) calculations were used to study two structures of C₆₀NH: one of C_2ν, geometry with a bridging NH across the bond between two fused six-membered rings in C₆₀ and the other of C_s geometry with a bridging NH across the bond between a five- and a six-membered ring. We calculated the most stable isomer of C₆₀NH to be of C_2ν, symmetry. It was found that the C_2ν isomer has a protonated aziridine structure with a bridging C? C bond length of 0.1520 nm. The electronic spectra of both isomers of C₆₀NH were calculated. Comparisons were made with the isoelectronic molecules C₆₀O and C₆₀CH₂, cases in which the calculated electronic spectra for the most stable isomers C₆₀O (C_2ν) and C₆₀CH₂ (C_2ν) are in good agreement with recent experimental results. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Darstellung und Elektronenspektren neuer Trithiocarbonato-Komplexe; Struktur,Eigenschaften und Photoelektronenspektren von Ni(NH3)3CS3 und Zn(NH3)2CS3

Preparation and Electronic Spectra of new Trithiocarbonato Complexes; Structure, Properties, and Photoelectronic Spectra of Ni(NH₃)₃CS₃ and Zn(NH₃)₂CS₃ The complex anions [Zn(CS₃)₂]^2?, [Cd(CS₃)₂]^2?, [Co(CS₃)₃]^3?, [Cr(CS₃)₃]^3?, [As(CS₃)₃]^3?, [Sb(CS₃)₃]^3?, [Bi(CS₃)₃]^3?, [Sn(CS₃)₂]^2?, and [Cu(CS₃)] could be isolated as tetraphenylphosphonium and tetraphenylarsonium salts. From the electronic spectra of the transition metal complexes it follows that the CS ion exhibits, in comparison with other sulfur containing ligands, relatively large Δ-values and only a small nephelauxetic effect (e.g. in [Cr(CS₃)₃]^3?: Δ = 16.0 kK; β₃₅ = 0.57). The trithiocarbonate ion in all the above complexes acts as a bidentate ligand and forms fourmembered ring systems CS₂M. Further it was proved by means of infrared, electronic and photoelectronic spectra that the structure of “Ni(NH₃)₃CS₃” is [Ni(NH₃)₆][Ni(CS₃)₂] whereas Zn(NH₃)₂CS₃ has not such an ionic structure.

Using a new mathematical treatment, the nature and stability constants of the simple and mixed complex-species of copper(II) with hydroxyde and ammonia as ligands have been determined. The solubility curves of CuO in heterogeneous equilibrium have been identified in function of pH only and in function of pH and pNH_3tot at 25° and unit ionic strength (NaClO₄). The predominent species in the relatively dilute system limited by the ionic strength are [Cu²⁺], [Cu(OH)₂], [Cu(OH)], [Cu(OH)], [Cu(NH₃)], [Cu(NH₃)], [Cu(NH₃)], [Cu(NH₃) (OH)⁺], [Cu(NH₃)₃(OH)⁺] and [Cu(NH₃)₂(OH)₂].

Cs₅[Na{W₄N₁₀}] was prepared from a mixture of NaNH₂, CsNH₂ and tungsten powder (molar ration 1 : 10 : 4) at 700°C in autoclaves. After the reaction is finished the nitride is embedded in an alkali metal matrix. Dark red crystals were isolated by washing out the alkali metal with liquid ammonia at room temperature. The structure of Cs₅[Na{W₄N₁₀}] was solved by X-ray single crystal data: I4₁ (No. 80), Z = 4, a = 13.926(3) Å, c = 8.723(3) Å, Z(F) ≥ 3σ(F) = 1535, Z(Variables) = 63, R/R_w = 0.040/0.052. The compound is highly sensitive against moisture giving oxotungstates and ammonia. It contains a framework of tetrahedra [WNN_3/2^1.5?]. Sodium shares four terminal nitrogen ligands. Including sodium a distorted, β-cristobalite type arrangement [Na{W₄N₁₀}^5?] results. It contains caesium in all interstices formed by twelve nitrogen ligands in so-called Friauf polyhedra.

Syntheses and Structure Analyses of Iodocuprates (I). IX. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Cs₃Cu₂I₅ and RbCu₂I₃ Cs₃Cu₂I₅ and Rb[Cu₂I₃] were prepared by the reaction of CsI or RbI with CuI in solution (acetonitrile or acetone) or by solid state reaction. The crystal structure analysis of Cs₃Cu₂I₅ (orthorhombic, Pbnm, a = 1438.6(6), b = 1014.7(5), c = 1167.5(5) pm, Z = 4) shows, that the compound contains dinuclear anions Cu₂I₅^3? in which the I atoms are arranged to trigonal bipyramids; one Cu^I occupies one of the two I tetrahedral holes, the other a trigonal site of the neighbouring tetrahedron. Rb[Cu₂I₃] (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 1070.6(7), b = 1338.3(8), c = 572.8(3) pm, Z = 4) is built up by CuI₄ double chains; the compound is isomorphic with Cs[Cu₂I₃].     

Kristallstrukturen und Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen bei β-Be(OH)2 und ϵ-Zn(OH)2

Crystal Structures and Hydrogen Bonding for β-Be(OH)₂ and ϵ-Zn(OH)₂ Crystals of β-Be(OH)₂ sufficient for x-ray structure determination were grown from a saturated hot solution of freshly prepared Be(OH)₂ in NaOH by slowly cooling down and in the case of ϵ-Zn(OH)₂ by electrochemical oxidation of zinc in a NaOH/NH₃ solution. The structures of the isotypic compounds were determined including the H-positions: β-Be(OH)₂: P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4, a = 4.530(2) Å, b = 4.621(2) Å, c = 7.048(2) Å N(F > 3σ F) = 432, N(parameters) = 36, R/R_w = 0.044/0.052 ϵ-Zn(OH)₂: P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 4, a = 4.905(3) Å, b = 5.143(4) Å, c = 8.473(2) Å N(F > 3σ F) = 1107, N(parameters) = 36, R/R_w = 0.025/0.027For neutron diffraction experiments microcrystalline β-Be(OD)₂ was prepared. With time-of-flight data the D positions were determined giving d(O–D) = 0.954(4) Å. The structures are closely related to that of β-cristobalite: As in SiO₂ a quarter of tetrahedral interstices in a distorted cubic close packed arrangement of O is regularily occupied by the metal atoms. The filled O tetrahedra are twisted against one another in such a way, that O–H…O–H hydrogen bonds are favoured which are surprisingly stronger in the zinc than in the beryllium compound.
