Ternäre Selenide der Lanthanide mit Alkalimetallen: I. Der Formeltyp Cs3M7Se12 (M = Gd–Ho)

Ternary Selenides of the Lanthanides with Alkali Metals: I. The Composition Cs₃M₇Se₁₂ (M = Gd–Ho) When the lanthanides gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium and holmium are oxidized with selenium in a molar ratio of 2 : 3 in evacuated silica tubes (700 °C, 7 d) and CsCl is added, ternary cesium lanthanide selenides with the composition Cs₃M₇Se₁₂ (M = Gd–Ho) readily form. Surplus CsCl as flux accelerates the crystallization of the yellow, transparent needles. Since these crystals are stable to hydrolysis, excess CsCl and the chloride by-products (e. g. Cs₃MCl₆) can be rinsed off easily with water. The crystal structure of the flanking representatives Cs₃Gd₇Se₁₂ and Cs₃Ho₇Se₁₂ (orthorhombic, Pnnm (no. 58), Z = 2; Cs₃Gd₇Se₁₂: a = 1294.8(3), b = 2650.1(5), c = 419.36(9) pm, R₁ = 0.098, wR₂ = 0.173; Cs₃Ho₇Se₁₂: a = 1280.4(3), b = 2621.2(5), c = 412.13(8) pm, R₁ = 0.096, wR₂ = 0.126) was determined and refined on the basis of X-ray data from single crystals. With the help of powder diffraction Cs₃Tb₇Se₁₂ (a = 1289.4(1), b = 2640.3(2), c = 416.82(3) pm) and Cs₃Dy₇Se₁₂ (a = 1285.3(1), b = 2631.5(2), c = 414.47(3) pm) were established to be isotypic. The four new compounds crystallize isostructurally with Cs₃Y₇Se₁₂, so that a three-dimensional framework {[M₇Se₁₂]^3–} of vertex- and edge-sharing [MSe₆] octahedra is present. Wave-like, one-dimensional infinite ”︁triple-channels”︁ run through the structure along [001] which are filled with two crystallographically different Cs⁺ cations (CN(Cs1) = 7 + 1, CN(Cs2) = 6). Owing to much too close Cs⁺–Cs⁺ contacts only a semi-occupation is possible for the Cs2 position which the structure refinements inevitably prove.

Zwei neue Sulfidchloride der Lanthanide: Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Pr7S6Cl9 und Nd7S6Cl9

Two Novel Sulfide Chlorides of the Lanthanides: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Pr₇S₆Cl₉ and Nd₇S₆Cl₉ The reactions of the elemental lanthanides (M = Pr and Nd, resp.) with sulfur and the respective trichlorides (MCl₃) in evacuated silica tubes (850 °C, 7 d) yield single-phase sulfide chlorides of the composition M₇S₆Cl₉ when appropriate molar ratios (4 : 6 : 3) of the reactants (M : S : MCl₃) are used. A slight excess of trichloride as a flux promotes the formation of lath-shaped transparent single crystals (Pr₇S₆Cl₉: pale green, Nd₇S₆Cl₉: pale violet) which prove to be water soluble and sensitive to hydrolysis. The crystal structure was determined from X-ray single-crystal data taking Nd₇S₆Cl₉ (monoclinic, P2/c (no. 13); a = 2425.0(9), b = 664.2(2), c = 691.8(2) pm, β = 97.43(3)°, Z = 2; R = 0.060, R_w = 0.048) as an example. According to Guinier powder data, Pr₇S₆Cl₉ crystallizes isotypically with a = 2441.6(9), b = 669.1(2), c = 696.3(2) pm, and β = 97.74(3)°. Thus four crystallographically independent cations (M³⁺) are present, each except for M2 coordinated by four S^2– but differing in the number of their next Cl^– neighbors. The figures of coordination are completed by four Cl^– about M1 (square antiprism, CN = 8) and by three Cl^– each about M3 and M4 (monocapped trigonal prisms, CN = 7, 2 Ç ). In contrast, M2 is coordinated by only two S^2– but five (plus one) Cl^– as bicapped trigonal prism (CN = 7 + 1). Eight crystallographically different anions, although indistinguishable by X-ray diffraction, exhibit coordination numbers of four (3 Ç S^2– and 1 Ç Cl^–) and three (4 Ç Cl^–) with respect to the cations. So PbO-analogous layers of the composition ²_∞{[(S6/7Cl_1/7)M_4/4]₇}⁸⁺ parallel (010) are formed, consisting of 6/7 of S^2– and only 1/7 of Cl^– as centering anions for the edge-shared (M³⁺)₄ tetrahedra for reasons of charge neutrality. These cationic layers are held together by alternatingly sheathed layers of Cl^– with only threefold coordinated anions.
