Das erste zweikernige Oxoferrat(II): „Cs2K4[O2FeOFeO2]”︁

The First Binuclear Oxoferrate(II): ?Cs₂K₄[O₂FeOFeO₂]”? For the first time ?Cs₂K₄[Fe₂O₅]”? was obtained by annealing intimate mixtures of Cs₂O, K₂O, and CsFeO₂ (molar ratio Cs : K : CsFeO₂ 1.3 : 2.1 : 1) in a closed Fe-cylinder (74 d; 470°C) in the form of red single crystals. The structure determination (four-circle diffractometer, MoKα , 760 out of 857 I_o(h kl); R = 5.8%, R_w = 4.6%) confirms the space group C2/m; a = 707.4, b = 1138.5, c = 699.7 pm, β = 91.76°, Z = 2. Essential part of the structure is the binuclear, planar [O(1)₂Fe? O(2)? FeO(1)₂]^6? group which is for the first time observed with oxoferrates(II). Despite different space groups the crystal structure is related to that of Rb₂Na₄[Co₂O₅].
