Ternäre Phasen des Lithiums mit Kupfer und Phosphor

1. The system Li? Cu? P was investigated by phase analysis. The samples were prepared at 500–600°C. The resulting ternary phases were characterized mainly by x-ray investigation. 2. At 560°C the range of homogeneity of Cu ₃ P lies between 25.6–26.7 atomic % P. Cu₃P forms a high-temperature (HT) modifikation, which crystallizes in a hexagonal subcell of the low-temperature (TT) modification (Z = 6): a = 4.09, c = 7.19 Å, c/a = 1.76; Z = 2 at 560°C. The intensities of the HT-powder pattern could be explained by a model in the space group P3 ml—D³_3d, which was deduced from TT-Cu₃P. 3. Li ₂ CuP , which can be derived from Li₃P, crystallizes hexagonally with a = 16.18, c = 7.724 Å; c/a = 0.477; Z = 32. In the structure, copper occupies the Li position with lowest number and coordination. 4. LiCu ₂ P also crystallizes hexagonally with a = 12.08, c = 7.39 Å; c/a = 0.71; Z = 18. In the direction [001] there is a disordered superlattice. The lattice constants of the high-temperature modification of LiCu₂P, which are related to those of HT-Cu₃P, at 520°C are: a = 4.08, c = 7.44 Å; c/a = 1.82; Z = 2. The interpretation of the intensities of the powder patterns did not result in a plain model related to HT-Cu₃P when calculated for the space group P3 m1—D³_3d. 5. LiCu ₂ P ₂ crystallizes tetragonally with a = 3.887, c = 9.554 Å; c/a = 2.46; Z = 2. The structure determination gave the D1₃-type lattice. The space group is No. 139 I4/mmm—D¹⁷_4h, the atoms occupy the following positions: 2 Li in (2a), 4 Cu in (4d) and 4 P in (4e) with z = 0.388. The compound shows P₂ groups parallel to [001] with a P? P distance of 2.14 Å. 6. Li _1,75 Cu _1,25 P ₂ crystallizes orthorhombically with a = 3.874, b = 12.668, c = 8.743 Å; Z = 6. The crystal structure has been determined. The atoms occupy the following positions within the space group No. 71 Immm—D¹⁵_2h: 2 Li in (2a), 4 Li in (4g) with y = 0.27, 4 Li in (4j) with z = 0.33, 7.5 Cu in (8l) with y = 0.127 and z = 0.267, 8 P in (8l) with y = 0.352 and z = 0.377, and 4 P in (4h) with y = 0.085. This structure, too, is dominated by the occurence of P₂ groups, which are oriented as well parallel [001] as parallel [010].

OCH₃)]∞ reveals two formula units within the triclinic (P1 ) unit cell. The tetracyanoethylene radical anions are arranged along parallel double layers, which are shifted relative to each other, and in between which are interspersed the sodium counter cations and their dimethoxyethane ligands. The distances within the double layers amount to 300 pm and the ones between them to 385 pm. The six-fold coordinated Na⊕ centers are surrounded by four radical anions with contact distances Na…?N between 250 and 254 pm as well as by a twofold solvent ligand with Na…?O of 238 and 241 pm. Due to the electron transfer to the acceptor molecule, its (NC)₂C-halves twist by 8° and the bond lengths of the N?C? C subunits, bent by each 3°, are shortened up to 2 pm. The structural parameters are compared to those of the analogous potassium salt [TCNE^?K^⊕DME], of the dianion , of the sodium salts [(NC)₃C^?Na^⊕]∞ as well as [(NC)₂C? C(CHCH)₂? C(CN)₂^?Na^⊕]_∞ and, in addition, are discussed based on geometry-optimized MNDO calculations.

The low-temperature modification (γ) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with a = 7.884(2), b = 10.219(2) and c = 6.623(2) Å, V = 533.6(2) ų (?100°C). At 121°C a phase transition of higher order is observed. The high-temperature polymorph (α) of Cu₃SbS₃ is orthorhombic again. From high-temperature precession photographs the space groups Pnma (No. 62) or Pna2₁ (No. 33) can be derived. The lattice constants at 200°C are a = 7.828(3), b = 10.276(4) and c = 6.604(3) Å, V = 531.2(2) ų.
