Synthesis and structure of asymmetric zirconium-substituted silicotungstates, [Zr6O2(OH)4(H2O)3(beta-SiW10O37)3]14- and [Zr4O2(OH)2(H2O)4(beta-SiW10O37)2]10-

The reaction of ZrCl4 with [gamma-SiW10O36]8- in a potassium acetate buffer results in two different products depending on the reactant ratios. The trimeric species [Zr6O2(OH)4(H2O)3(beta-SiW10O37)3]14- (1) consists of three beta23-SiW10O37 units linked by an unprecedented Zr6O2(OH)4(H2O)3 cluster with C1 point group symmetry. The dimeric species [Zr4O2(OH)2(H2O)4(beta-SiW10O37)2]10- (2) consists of beta22- and beta12-SiW10O37 units sandwiching a Zr4O2(OH)2(H2O)4 cluster, which also has C1 symmetry. Polyanion 1 contains more zirconium centers than any other polyoxometalate known to date.     

Synthesis of elliptical vanadoborates housing bimetallic centers [Zn4(B2O4H2)(V10B28O74H8)]8- and [Mn4(C2O4)(V10B28O74H8)]10-

The hydrothermal synthesis of three new vanadoborate compounds with elliptical (V10B28O74H8) clusters is described. The clusters contain pairs of bimetallic Zn2 or Mn2 units.     

Single-crystal Al(18)B(4)O(33) microtubes

Aluminum borate microtubes were prepared in excellent yield by annealing the Al(2)O(3)-NaBH(4)-NiCl(2) starting materials at 1050 degrees C under N(2)(H(2)) atmosphere. The tubes are usually open at each end with the outer diameters narrowly distributed at ca. 1 microm. XRD results and TEM analysis identified the composition of these tubes as single-crystal orthorhombic Al(18)B(4)O(33). These newly discovered ceramic microtubes with open ends have a variety of promising applications such as being filled with other materials for protection or for the fabrication of novel composites or filtering media.     

(NH4)4Na2[V10O28]·10H2O

Tetra­ammonium disodium decavanadate decahydrate crystallizes in the triclinic system in space group P. The structure contains typical centrosymmetric OV₆ double octahedra and centrosymmetric pairs of edge‐shared NaO₆ double octahedra forming a layered structure. In contrast to other monovalent cationic decavanadates, the NaO₆ double octahedra are integrated in the layer.     

A new hydrated ammonium hydroxy­borate, (NH4)2[B10O14(OH)4]·H2O

The structure of a new synthetic compound, di­ammonium tetra­hydroxy­deca­borate monohydrate, has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic space group and all atoms occupy general sites. The title compound is composed of [B₁₀O₁₅(OH)₄]⁴⁻ ions as the fundamental building blocks, and these are linked end‐to‐end by sharing two common O atoms, thus producing infinite chains of composition [B₁₀O₁₄(OH)₄]_n^2n–. These chains are linked by hydrogen bonds, thus forming borate sheets. Water mol­ecules and ammonium ions between these sheets connect adjacent sheets via hydrogen bonds.     

Hydroxoverbindungen. 10. Über die Natriumoxohydroxostannate(II) Na4[Sn4O(OH)10] und Na2[Sn2O(OH)4]

Hydroxo Compounds. 10. The Sodium Oxohydroxostannates(II) Na₄[Sn₄O(OH)₁₀] and Na₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] Na₄[Sn₄O(OH)₁₀] = Na₄[Sn(OH)₃]₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] ( I ) and Na₂[Sn₂O(OH)₄] ( II ) have now been doubtlessly characterized as the first Na-hydroxostannates(II). I crystallizes monoclinic in P2₁/n (a = 1522.4(5) pm, b = 830.0(2) pm, c = 1276.0(3) pm, β = 104.8(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.047, 1137 I_hkl); II crystallizes orthorhombic in P2₁2₁2₁ (a = 1450(2) pm, b = 1665(2) pm, c = 590.7(8) pm, Z = 8, R = 0.042, 1208 I_hkl). II is identical with the compound which was described up to now as “Na[Sn(OH)₃]”. The new compounds contain the complex anions [Sn(OH)₃]^? and [Sn₂O(OH)₄]^2?, whose structures are now proved. The oxotetrahydroxo-distannate(II) anion [Sn₂O(OH)₄]^2? exhibits a syn-conformation with respect to the projection along the (Sn? Sn) vector. The two compounds crystallize with pronounced layer structures, which show direct topotactical relations with one another as well as with SnO. This relates closely to the fast formation of SnO from crystals of I and II .     

N(nPr)4[B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2 and N(nBu)4[B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2: Clathrates with a diamondoid arrangement of hydrogen-bonded pentaborate anions

Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of N(nPr)₄[B₅O₆(OH)₄][B(OH)₃]₂,1, and N(nBu)₄ [B₅O₆(OH)₄][B(OH)₃]₂,2, reveal that these materials are novel clathrates, the isotypic host structures of which are three-dimensional assemblies of hydrogen-bonded [B₅O₆(OH)₄]^– ionsand B(OH)₃ molecules. The assembly of only the pentaborate anions is a distorted (i.e., along [102] elongated) fourconnected diamond-related network. The N(nPr) ₄ ⁺ and N(nBu) ₄ ⁺ ions are trapped within the complex three-dimensional channel systems of the host frameworks. Both1 and2 crystallize monoclinically with space groupP2₁/c andZ=4. The cell constants are:1:a=13.592(5),b=12.082(2),c=17.355(6) Å, =106.60(2)° (298K);2:a=13.874(3),b=12.585(1),c=17.588(4) Å, =107.04(1)° (238 K). The results obtained by both¹¹B and¹³C MAS NMR spectroscopy are discussed. Thermogravimetric studies under a flowing inert-gas atmosphere suggest that water, stemming from polycondensation of the hydrous borate species, is released from the clathrates at ca. 443 K (1) and 398 K (2) before the decomposition of the organic cations starts at ca. 603 K (1) and 603 K (2).Author for correspondence.

[Me4N]10[Fe4(OH)4(PW10O37)2] · 15H2O was synthesized by the reaction of FeCl3 ·6H2O, with △-Na8HPW9O34 and Me4NBr. Crystal data: M = 6225.75, space group P21/c with the monoclinic parameters: a = 1.3228(5), b = 3.5634(3), c = 1.5226(2) nm, β = 94.20(2)°, V = 7.1576nm3, 7 = 2,DC = 2.888 g/cm3, Mo Kαradiation (λ = 0.071069 nm), μ= 168.534 cm-1, F(000)=5576, final R = 0.0428 and Rw = 0.1204 for 7086 observed reflections with I > 2σ( I) . The structure of the title compound is the first structurally characterized heteropolymetalate with hydroxo-bridging metal aggregation Fe4OH4 encapsulated in the dimer of Keggin polyoxoanion.     

(Solid+Liquid) Equilibria in the Quaternary System Na2B4O7-MgB4O7-K2B4O7-H2O at 288 K

(Solid+Liquid) phase equilibria in the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K were studied experimentally using the method of isothermal solution saturation. Solubility of any single salt in the solution of the quaternary system was determined experimentally. Based on the experimental data achieved, the phase diagram and water content diagram of the quaternary system were constructed, respectively. In the phase equilibrium diagram of the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K, there are one invariant point E, three univariant curves E1E, E2E and E3E, and three fields of crystallization corresponding to Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O, K₂B₄O₇·4H₂O and MgB₄O₇·9H₂O. The experimental results show that potassium borate (K₂B₄O₇·4H₂O) have higher solubilities than the magnesium borate and sodium borate in the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K.     

Group 2 metal salts of pyromellitic acid: [Mg(H2O)6](C10H4O8) and [Ba(C10H4O8)(H2O)5]

Structural determinations of the magnesium(II) and barium(II) salts of pyromellitic acid (benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ic acid) are presented. Hexa­aqua­magnesium(II) benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ate(2−), [Mg(H₂O)₆](C₁₀H₄O₈), (I), and penta­aqua­[benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetra­carboxyl­ato(2−)]­barium(II), [Ba(C₁₀H₄O₈)(H₂O)₅], (II), are both centrosymmetric and both possess a 1:1 metal–ligand ratio, but the two structures are found to differ in that the magnesium salt contains a hexaaqua cation and possesses only hydrogen‐bonding interactions between cations and anions, while the barium salt exhibits coordination of the carboxyl­ate ligand to the nine‐coordinate metal centre. In (I), both ions sit on a 2/m site symmetry, and in (II), the cation and anion are located on m and i site symmetries, respectively.     

NaMn6(P2O7)2(P3O10) and KCd6(P2O7)2(P3O10)

The crystal structures of two new diphosphates, sodium hexamanganese bis­(diphosphate) triphosphate, NaMn₆(P₂O₇)₂(P₃O₁₀), and potassium hexacadmium bis­(diphosphate) triphosphate, KCd₆(P₂O₇)₂(P₃O₁₀), confirm the rigidity of the M₆(P₂O₇)₂(P₃O₁₀) matrix (M is Mn or Cd) and the relatively fixed dimensions of the tunnels extending in the a direction of the unit cell. The compounds are isomorphous; the P₂O₇^4? anion and the alkali metal cations lie on mirror planes. Bond‐valence analysis of the bonding details of the atoms found within the tunnels permits a prediction of the conductivity.     

Uncommon structural and bonding properties in Ag16B4O10

Ag₁₆B₄O₁₀ has been obtained as a coarse crystalline material via hydrothermal synthesis, and was characterized by X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, as well as by DFT based theoretical analyses. Neither composition nor crystal structure nor valence electron counts can be fully rationalized by applying known bonding schemes. While the rare cage anion (B₄O₁₀)⁸⁻ is electron precise, and reflects standard bonding properties, the silver ion substructure necessarily has to accommodate eight excess electrons per formula unit, (Ag⁺)₁₆(B³⁺)₄(O²⁻)₁₀ × 8e⁻, rendering the compound sub-valent with respect to silver. However, the phenomena commonly associated with sub-valence metal (partial) structures are not perceptible in this case. Experimentally, the compound has been found to be semiconducting and diamagnetic, ruling out the presence of itinerant electrons; hence the excess electrons have to localize pairwise. However, no pairwise contractions of silver atoms are realized in the structure, thus excluding formation of 2e–2c bonds. Rather, cluster-like aggregates of an approximately tetrahedral shape exist where the Ag–Ag separations are significantly smaller than in elemental silver. The number of these subunits per formula is four, thus matching the required number of sites for pairwise nesting of eight excess electrons. This scenario has been corroborated by computational analyses of the densities of states and electron localization function (ELF), which clearly indicate the presence of an attractor within the shrunken tetrahedral voids in the silver substructure. However, one bonding electron pair of s and p type skeleton electrons per cluster unit is extremely low, and the significant propensity to form and the thermal stability of the title compound suggest d¹⁰–d¹⁰ bonding interactions to strengthen the inter-cluster bonding in a synergistic fashion. With the present state of knowledge, such a particular bonding pattern appears to be a singular feature of the oxide chemistry of silver; however, as indicated by analogous findings in related silver oxides, it is evolving as a general one.

Ag₁₆B₄O₁₀, obtained via hydrothermal synthesis, displays an unprecedented bonding scheme, hosting excess electrons localized pairwise in cluster-like silver subunits.     

Stabilizing the Homopolycation (I4)2+ with a Hexasulfate in (I4)[S6O19] and a Borosulfate in (I4)[B(S2O7)2]2

The reaction of elemental iodine and SO₃ in a sealed glass ampoule yielded a turquoise‐colored solution. At temperatures below 7 °C, deep red crystals of (I₄)[S₆O₁₉] grow. With the addition of B₂O₃ and pyridine‐SO₃ complex red crystals of (I₄)[B(S₂O₇)₂]₂ can be obtained after heating the mixture to 120 °C. The combination of an (I₄)²⁺ cation with oxoanions has previously not been observed. Both anions have a significant but different influence on the structural properties of the (I₄)²⁺ cation.
