Kristallstrukturen von Verbindungen A2[MnF3(SO4)] (A = Rb,NH4, Cs): Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung in Mangan(III)‐fluoridsulfaten. I.

Jahn‐Teller Ordering in Manganese(III) Fluoride Sulphates. I. Crystal Structures of A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] (A = Rb, NH4, Cs) The three isostructural fluorosulphatomanganates(III) A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] (A = Rb, NH₄, Cs) crystallize in space group P2₁/c, Z = 4. Rb₂[MnF₃(SO₄)]: a = 7.271, b = 11.091, c = 8.776Å, β = 92.26°, R = 0.033; (NH₄)₂[MnF₃(SO₄)]: a = 7.299, b = 10.157, c = 8.813Å, β = 91.51°, R = 0.025; Cs₂[MnF₃(SO₄)]: a = 7.365, b = 11.611, c = 9.211, β = 92.30°, R = 0.029. In the chain anions [MnF₃(SO₄)]^2— manganese(III) is coordinated by two trans‐terminal and two trans‐bridging fluorine ligands, and by the O‐atoms of two briding sulphate ligands in trans position. The Jahn‐Teller effect induces a variety of antiferrodistortive ordering resulting in distorted [MnF₄O₂] octahedra with alternating elongation of F—Mn—F — and O—Mn—O — axes, respectively. Thus, only asymmetrical bridges are formed.     

Pseudo‐Isomerie durch unterschiedliche Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung: Die Kristallstrukturen des Hemihydrats und des Monohydrats von (pyH)[MnF(H2PO4)(HPO4)]

Pseudo‐Isomerism by Different Jahn‐Teller Ordering: Crystal Structures of the Hemihydrate and the Monohydrate of (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)] With pyridinium counter cations (pyH⁺) the Mn^III fluoride phosphate anion [MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]^— can be stabilized. It forms a chain structure with Mn³⁺ ions bridged by a fluoride ion and two bidentate phosphate groups. Under sleightly differing conditions either the hemihydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·0.5H₂O ( 1 ) or the monohydrate (pyH)[MnF(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)]·H₂O ( 2 ) is formed. The hemihydrate 1 crystallizes monoclinic in space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 7.295(1), b = 17.052(2), c = 18.512(3) Å, β = 100.78(1)°, R = 0.033, the monohydrate triclinic in space group P1¯, Z = 2, a = 7.374(1), b = 8.628(1), c = 10.329(1) Å, α = 83.658(8)°, β = 77.833(9)°, γ = 68.544(8)°, R = 0.025. Whereas the topology of the chain anions is identical in both structures, the Jahn‐Teller effect is expressed in different ordering patterns: in 1 antiferrodistortive ordering of [MnF₂O₄] octahedra is observed, with alternating elongation of an F—Mn—F‐axis or a O—Mn—O‐axis, respectively. This leads to asymmetrical Mn—F—Mn‐bridges. In 2 ferrodistortive ordering is found, with elongation of all octahedra along the F—Mn—F‐axis. Thus, symmetrical bridges are formed with long Mn—F distances. This unusual pseudo‐isomerism is attributed to the differing influence of inter‐chain hydrogen bonds.     

Struktur und 1D‐magnetische Eigenschaften von (pipzH2)[MnF4(H2PO4)]

Structure and 1D‐magnetic properties of (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] From hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III), using piperazinium(2+) counter cations (pipzH₂²⁺) the chain‐anion [MnF₄(H₂PO₄)]^2— can be stabilized providing an interesting model system for studying the magnetic exchange interaction via phosphate bridges. Depending on the HF/H₃PO₄ excess (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] crystallizes in two polymorphs I und II , differing mainly in the orientation of the cations. Form I is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.749(1), b = 12.039(1), c = 12.501(1) Å, β = 94.420(4)°, R = 0.023, Form II crystallizes in the same space group type P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.651(1), b = 12.799(1), c = 12.825(1) Å, β = 110.312(5)°, R = 0.037. The Mn³⁺ ions are octahedrally surrounded by four terminal fluoride ligands and axially by bidentate bridging dihydrogenphosphate groups. The shape of the chain anions is very close in both modifications and characteristic for ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller ordering.The Mn—O‐bonds along the chain direction are strongly elongated (distances 2.16 to 2.21 Å) whereas all Mn—F bond (1.81—1.88Å) are ruther short. On a large single crystal of form I 1D‐antiferromagnetic properties were found. By fitting an appropriate model based on the temperature dependence of the correlation lengths using an anisotropy constant D/k = —2.9 K a remarkably high exchange energy of J/k = —1.6(1) K along the chains could be determined.     

Jahn‐Teller‐Ordnung in pipzH2[Mn2F8], einem Fluoromanganat(III) mit neuer Schichtstruktur

Jahn‐Teller Ordering in pipzH₂[Mn₂F₈], a Fluoromanganate(III) with a New Layer Structure From a solution of (pipzH₂)[MnF₂(HPO₄)(H₂O)]·(H₂PO₄) in concentrated hydrofluoric acid the title compound could be crystallized and was characterized by X‐ray crystallography: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z = 8, a = 13.275(1), 10.400(1), c = 14.928(1) Å, β = 112.337(8), R = 0.0265. The structure shows a new type of anionic layers [Mn₂F₈] built of dimers of edge‐sharing [MnF₆] octahedra linked via common vertices, alternating with layers of piperazinium(2+) cations. A dense network of hydrogen bonds N–H···F achieves a strong 3D interconnection. Strong elongation of the [MnF₆] octahedra is observed due to the Jahn‐Teller effect.The long axes show parallel (ferrodistortive) orientation within the dimers, but the ordering between the dimers is antiferrodistorive. A possible mechanism of formation is discussed on the basis of precursor structures.     

Struktur und magnetische Eigenschaften von Bis{3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolium(1+)}pentafluoromanganat(III): (3‐atriazH)2[MnF5]

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Bis{3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolium(1+)}pentafluoromanganate(III): (3‐atriazH)₂[MnF₅] The crystal structure of (3‐atriazH)₂[MnF₅], space group P1, Z = 4, a = 8.007(1) Å, b = 11.390(1) Å, c = 12.788(1) Å, α = 85.19(1)°, β = 71.81(1)°, γ = 73.87(1)°, R = 0.034, is built by octahedral trans‐chain anions [MnF₅]^2–_∞ separated by the mono‐protonated organic amine cations. The [MnF₆] octahedra are strongly elongated along the chain axis (<Mn–F_ax> 2.135 Å, <Mn–F_eq> 1.842 Å), mainly due to the Jahn‐Teller effect, the chains are kinked with an average bridge angle Mn–F–Mn = 139.3°. Below 66 K the compound shows 1D‐antiferromagnetism with an exchange energy of J/k = –10.8 K. 3D ordering is observed at T_N = 9.0 K. In spite of the large inter‐chain separation of 8.2 Å a remarkable inter‐chain interaction with |J′/J| = 1.3 · 10^–5 is observed, mediated probably by H‐bonds. That as well as the less favourable D/J ratio of 0.25 excludes the existence of a Haldene phase possible for Mn³⁺ (S = 2).     

Doppelkettenstruktur von (pipzH2)[MnF2(HPO4)(H2O)](H2PO4)

By adding piperazine to a hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III) fluoride, the fluoride phosphate (pipzH₂)[MnF₂(HPO₄)(H₂O)](H₂PO₄) can be crystallized. Its structure is built by piperazinium(2+) cations, (H₂PO₄)^? anions, and an anionic double‐chain of [HPO₄] tetrahedra and [MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra. The structure is triclinic, space group P , Z = 2, a = 622.97(4), b = 923.46(6), c = 1183.62(7) pm, α = 98.343(6)°, β = 100.747(7)°, γ = 107.642(5)°, R = 0.0289. It is worth noting that a ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller order is observed with [MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra strongly elongated along the F–Mn–OH₂ axes perpendicular to the chain plane. The structure is stabilized by very strong hydrogen bonds.     

Struktur und Magnetismus von Fluoriden Cs2MCu3F10 (M = Mg,Mn, Co,Ni), Varianten des CsCu2F5‐Typs

Structure and Magnetism of Fluorides Cs₂MCu₃F₁₀ (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni), Variants of the CsCu₂F₅ Type X‐ray structure determinations of single crystals showed that compounds Cs₂MCu₃F₁₀ crystallize with Z = 2 in space group P2₁/n (No.14) (M = Mn) of the CsCu₂F₅ type resp. in its supergroup I2/m (No.12) (M = Mg, Co, Ni). Cs₂MgCu₃F₁₀: a = 714.9(1), b = 736.8(1), c = 940.4(1) pm, b = 96.29(1)°, (Mg‐F: 199.2 pm); Cs₂MnCu₃F₁₀: a = 725.1(1), b = 742.7(1), c = 951.0(2) pm, b = 97.28(3)°, (Mn‐F: 209.1 pm); Cs₂CoCu₃F₁₀: a = 717.8(3), b = 739.1(2), c = 939.4(4) pm, b = 97.49(2)°, (Co‐F: 203.1 pm); Cs₂NiCu₃F₁₀: a = 716.3(1), b = 737.7(1), c = 938.2(2) pm, b = 97.09(1)°, (Ni‐F: 201.0 pm). As determined directly for the Mg compound and generally concluded from the average distances M‐F noted, M substitution concerns mainly the octahedrally coordinated position of the CsCu₂F₅ structure, the distortion of which is very much reduced thereby. Within the remaining [CuF₄] and [CuF₅] coordinations, in contrast to CsCu₂F₅, one F ligand is disordered, in case of the Mn compound the pyramidally coordinated Cu atom, too. The magnetic properties are complex and point to frustration and spin glass effects. Only at the diamagnetically substituted variants with M = Mg, Zn no Néel point appears, which is reached at 27, 23, 36 and 55 K for M = Mn, Co, Ni and Cu, resp. At lower temperatures ferri‐ resp. weak ferromagnetism and hysteresis is observed.     

Variation of 2 D Hydrogen Bond Topology in Diaqua-tetrafluoromanganates(III): 2-picoH[MnF4(H2O)2], TMEDAH2[MnF4(H2O)2]2, and TMBDAH2[MnF4(H2O)2]2

The crystal structures of three new diaqua-tetrafluoro-manganate(III) compounds with different organic N-cations have been determined: 2-picoH[MnF₄(H₂O)₂] 1 (2-pico = 2-methyl-pyridine), space group P2₁/c, a = 9.439, b = 13.662, c = 7.641 Å, β = 91.31°; R = 0.059; TMEDAH₂[MnF₄(H₂O)₂]₂ 2 (TMEDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl ethane diamine), space group P2₁/c, a = 5.421, b = 15.970, c = 9.677 Å, β = 96.37°, R = 0.031, and TMBDAH₂[MnF₄(H₂O)₂]₂ 3 (TMBDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,4-butane-diamine), space group P2₁/n, a = 12.631, b = 5.577, c = 12.976 Å, β = 98.10°, R = 0.040. All three compounds show 2 D H-bonding networks of [MnF₄(H₂O)₂]^– anions separated by the organic cations. However, the topology of the anionic H-bonding nets is different for each compound. The anions are strongly elongated by the Jahn-Teller effect and are arranged in a ferrodistortive way in compounds 1 and 2 , whereas in compound 3 the arrangement is described as in a herringbone-like antiferrodistortive variant.     

Solvothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Two Manganese Complexes [Mn(II)(acac−)2(4,4′‐bipy)]n (bipy=4,4′‐bipyridine) and [Mn(III)(acac−)3]·4CO(NH2)2

Two special manganese complexes [Mn(II)(acac^?)₂(4,4′‐bipy)]_n (bipy=4,4′‐bipyridine) (complex 1 ) and [Mn(III)(acac^?)₃]·4CO(NH₂)₂ (acacH=acetylacetone) (complex 2 ) were synthesized in the same strategy by solvothermal method. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction revealed the complex 1 consists of one‐dimensional infinite coordination chain, with the manganese centers bridged by 4,4′‐bipy. And free carbamides of complex 2 connect with each other through the hydrogen bonds to form a 14‐membered carbamide ring and a zig‐zag plane. Both enantiomers of Mn(III)(acac^?)₃ exist in the structure, forming a racemate. Furthermore, these enantiomers and those zig‐zag planes are linked with hydrogen bonds to form an unique spatial network.     

Ein Fluoridphosphat von Mangan(III) mit ungewöhnlicher Schichtstruktur: Na7[Mn5F13(PO4)3(H2O)3]

A Fluoride Phosphate of Manganese(III) with Unusual Layer Structure: Na₇[Mn₅F₁₃(PO₄)₃(H₂O)₃] The title compound was crystallized from a solution of MnF₃ · 3 H₂O in aqueous HF by addition of NaH₂PO₄ · H₂O in 2 M phosphoric acid. The crystal structure has been determined at 295 and 150 K on a trigonal crystal twinned by merohedry: Space group P3c1, Z = 4, a = 1055,0(1), c = 2314,0(1) pm (a = 1052,5(1), c = 2304,2(1) pm at 150 K), wR₂ = 0.0651 (0.0651). The structure contains anionic layers formed by triangular moieties of three [MnF₃O₂(H₂O)] octahedra sharing one common μ₃-F atom and bridged by three phosphate groups. Three of those groups, respectively, are interconnected by two [MnF₃O₃] octahedra over six phosphate O-atoms to form a trigonal layer in the a,b plane. Stacking of these layers gives channels along the c axis in which most of the Na⁺ ions are located. The [MnF₃O₂(H₂O)] octahedra show strong elongation along the μ₃-F–Mn–OH₂ axis mainly due to the Jahn-Teller effect whereas in the [MnF₃O₃] octahedra with C₃ symmetry weak signs only of a dynamical Jahn-Teller-effect can be observed. The magnetic properties (μ_eff = 4.61 μ_B, 3-D ordering point T_N = 3.3 K) were determined on powders and possible magnetic exchange pathways are discussed.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (CH3NH3)2[Cu(NO3)4]: a Rare Example of a Tetranitratocuprate(II) with a Light Cation of the Type M2[Cu(NO3)4]

The reaction of methylammonium nitrate and copper(II) nitrate pentahemihydrate in concentrated nitric acid yields the novel bis(monomethylammonium) tetranitratocuprate(II). By evaporation of the nitric acid at elevated temperatures single crystals suitable for crystal structure analysis by X‐ray diffraction were obtained. The crystal structure shows a clear Jahn‐Teller distortion in the octahedral nitratocuprate anion.     

Alkali-metal trifluoromonosulphatomanganates (III) A2[MnF3(SO4)] (A = NH4, Li,Na or K)

Pink-brown crystalline alkali-metal trifluoromonosulphatomanganates(III), A₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] (A = NH₄, Li, Na or K), have been synthesised in high yields by reacting KMnO₄ or MnO(OH) with 40% HF and A₂SO₄ or by the reaction of MnO(OH) with 40% HF and A₂S₂O₈ (A = NH₄ or K). The chemicallly estimated oxidation state of manganese occurs between 2.9 and 3.1, and the room temperature magnetic moments lie in the range 4.0–4.2 BM. (NH₄)₂[MnF₃(SO₄)] on being pyrolysed at 340°C yields MnSO₄.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Polarized Optical Spectra of a New Fluoromanganate(III): [(H3N(CH2)2)2NH2]2[MnF5(H2O)]3

The synthesis and crystal structure of a new fluoromanganate(III), [(H₃N(CH₂)₂)₂NH₂]₂[MnF₅(H₂O)]₃, is reported. The unit cell is unusually large: monoclinic, P2₁/c (no. 14), a = 41.0512(13) Å; b = 9.6469(4) Å; c = 12.8021(7) Å; β = 91.927(4)°; Z = 8, R = 0.0627 and wR₂ = 0.1347. The [MnF₅(H₂O)]^2– anions are octahedral with a strong distortion along the F–Mn OH₂ axes due to the Jahn-Teller effect. A very rich intermolecular hydrogen bond framework is present, leading to chains of octahedra linked by double-hydrogen bonds. The polarized optical spectra on single crystals are explained in terms of the intraconfigurational d⁴ transitions split by a ligand field of C_4v symmetry.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Mangan(II)‐ und Zinkamid,Mn(NH2)2 und Zn(NH2)2

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Manganese(II) and Zinc Amides, Mn(NH₂)₂ and Zn(NH₂)₂ Metal powders of manganese resp. zinc react with supercritical ammonia in autoclaves in the presence of a mineralizer Na₂Mn(NH₂)₄ resp. Na₂Zn(NH₂)₄_.0.5NH₃ to well crystallized ruby‐red Mn(NH₂)₂ (p(NH₃) = 100 bar, T = 130°C, 10 d) resp. colourless Zn(NH₂)₂ (p(NH₃) = 3.8 kbar, T = 250°C, 60 d). The structures including all H‐positions were solved by x‐ray single crystal data: Mn(NH₂)₂: I4₁/acd, Z = 32, a = 10.185(6) Å, c = 20.349(7) Å, N(F_o) with F > 3σ (F) = 313, N(parameter) = 45, R/R_w = 0.038/0.043. Zn(NH₂)₂: I4₁/acd, Z = 32, a = 9.973(3) Å, c = 19.644(5) Å, N(F_o) with F > 3σ (F) = 489, N(parameter) = 45, R/R_w = 0.038/0.043. Both compounds crystallize isotypic with Mg(NH₂)₂ [1] resp. Be(NH₂)₂ [2]. Nitrogen of the amide ions is distorted cubic close packed. One quarter of tetrahedral voids is occupied by Mn²⁺‐ resp. Zn²⁺‐ions in such an ordered way that units M₄(NH₂)₆(NH₂)_4/2 occur. The H‐atoms of the anions have such an orientation that the distance to neighboured cations is optimum.     

Kristallstrukturbestimmungen an Cs2NaCr(CN)6 und weiteren Verbindungen A2BM(CN)6 (A = Rb,Cs; B = Na,K, Rb,NH4; M = Cr,Mn, Fe,Co): Oktaederkippung und Toleranzfaktor von Cyanokryolithen

The results, including data from the literature, were studied with respect to the interdependence of radii resp. bond lengths and cyano bridge angles M–CN–B resp. tilting of [M(CN)₆] and [BN₆] octahedra: The average tilt angles κ of the latter are within the range 13° ≤ κ ≤ 23° and increase linearly if the modified tolerance factor t (of range 0,87 ≥ t ≥ 0,78) decreases.     

Die Antimonid–Triantimonidometallate(III) Cs6K3Sb[AlSb3] und Cs6K3Sb[GaSb3]

The Antimonide Triantimonidometallates(III) Cs₆K₃Sb[AlSb₃] and Cs₆K₃Sb[GaSb₃] The novel compounds Cs₆K₃Sb[AlSb₃] and Cs₆K₃Sb[GaSb₃] are formed from stoichiometric mixtures of Cs, AlSb (GaSb) and KSb in sealed niobium ampoules at 950 K. The hexagonal structures are especially characterized by one-dimensional rod packings ¹∞[Cs₆K₃Sb] which are formed from columns of condensed (Cs₆K_6/2) icosahedra. The icosahedra are centered by Sb^3-? anions. The trigonal planar anions [AlSb₃]^6-? and [GaSb₃]^6-? are embedded between the icosahedra columns, and they are coordinated by alkali metal atoms. The FIR spectra were assigned to the vibrations of the [MSb₃]^6-? anions, with respect to the 6 m2-D_3h symmetry.

Darstellung,Ramanspektren und Kristallstrukturen von V2O3(SO4)2, K[VO(SO4)2] und NH4[VO(SO4)2]

Preparation, Raman Spectra, and Crystal Structures of V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, K[VO(SO₄)₂], and NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] The oxo-sulfato-vanadates(V) V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, K[VO(SO₄)₂], and NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] have been prepared as crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination. In all structures sulfate acts as an unidentate ligand only toward a single vanadium atom. The structure of V₂O₃(SO₄)₂ consists of a threedimensional network of pairs of cornershared VO₆ octahedra with one terminal oxygen atom each, and SO₄ tetrahedra. All oxygen atoms of the sulfate ions are coordinated. NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂] and K[VO(SO₄)₂] are isostructural. VO₆ octahedra with one terminal oxygen atom and pairs of sulfate tetrahedra form infinite chains by corner sharing. The chains are weakly interlinked to layers. The sulfate ions are distorted towards planar SO₃ molecules and single oxygen atoms attached to vanadium. This structural detail gives an explanation for the mechanism of the reversible reaction K[VO(SO₄)₂] ? K[VO₂(SO₄)] + SO₃ at 400°C. Raman spectra of the compounds have been recorded and interpreted with respect to their structures. Crystal data: V₂O₃(SO₄)₂, monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 947.2(4), b = 891.3(3), c? 989.1(4) pm, β = 104.56(3)°, Z = 4, 878 unique data, R(R_w) = 0.039(0,033); K[VO(SO₄)₂], orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 495.3(2), b = 869.6(9), c = 1 627(1)pm, Z = 4, 642 unique data, R(R_w) = 0,11(0,10); NH₄[VO(SO₄)₂], orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 495.3(1), b = 870.0(2), c = 1 676.7(4)pm, Z = 4, 768 unique data, R(R_w) = 0.088(0.083).
