Er3O2F5: Ein Erbiumoxidfluorid mit Vernier‐Struktur

Er₃O₂F₅: An Erbium Oxide Fluoride with Vernier‐Type Structure Attempts to synthesize multinary erbium‐trifluoride derivatives (e. g. Er₃F[Si₃O₁₀], Er₄F₂[Si₂O₇][SiO₄], CsEr₂F₇, and RbEr₃F₁₀) from mixtures of ErOF‐contaminated erbium trifluoride (ErF₃) itself and appropriate other components (such as Er₂O₃ and SiO₂ or CsF and RbF, respectively) frequently resulted in the formation of pale pink, transparent, lath‐shaped single crystals of Er₃O₂F₅ (orthorhombic, Pnma; a = 562.48(5), b = 1710.16(14), c = 537.43(4) pm; Z = 4) as by‐product, typically after seven days at 800 °C and regardless of the applied reaction‐container material (evacuated torch‐sealed silica or silica‐jacketed arc‐welded tantalum capsules). Its crystal structure, often described as a vernier‐type arrangement consisting of two interpenetrating and almost misfitting lattices (ErOF and ErF₃), contains two crystallographically different Er³⁺ cations in the eight‐ and seven‐plus‐one‐fold anionic coordination of bicapped trigonal prisms. Whereas (Er1)³⁺ carries four O^2? and F^? anions each, (Er2)³⁺ resides in the neighbourhood of only two O^2?, but five plus one F^? anions. As the main structural feature, however, one can consider O^2?‐centred (Er³⁺)₄ tetrahedra which share common edges to form linear double strands of the composition . Running parallel to the [100] direction and assembling like a hexagonal closest rod‐packing, their electroneutralization and three‐dimensional interconnection is achieved by three crystallographically independent F^? anions (d(F^??Er³⁺) = 221 ? 251 plus 281 pm) in three‐ and two‐plus‐two‐fold coordination of the Er³⁺ cations, respectively.     

SrB5O7F3 Functionalized with [B5O9F3]6− Chromophores: Accelerating the Rational Design of Deep‐Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optical Materials

Fluorooxoborates, benefiting from the large optical band gap, high anisotropy, and ever‐greater possibility to form non‐centrosymmetric structures activated by the large polarization of [BO_xF_4?x]^(x+1)? building blocks, have been considered as the new fertile fields for searching the ultraviolet (UV) and deep‐UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, we report the first asymmetric alkaline‐earth metal fluorooxoborate SrB₅O₇F₃, which is rationally designed by taking the classic Sr₂Be₂B₂O₇ (SBBO) as a maternal structure. Its [B₅O₉F₃]^6? fundamental building block with near‐planar configuration composed by two edge‐sharing [B₃O₆F₂]^5? rings in SrB₅O₇F₃ has not been reported in any other borates. Solid state ¹⁹F and ¹¹B magic‐angle spinning NMR spectroscopy verifies the presence of covalent B?F bonds in SrB₅O₇F₃. Property characterizations reveal that SrB₅O₇F₃ possesses the optical properties required for deep‐UV NLO applications, which make SrB₅O₇F₃ a promising crystal that could produce deep‐UV coherent light by the direct SHG process.     

Peroxofluorokomplexe der Übergangsmetalle. VII. Peroxofluorokryolithe A3Ti(O2)F5 (A = K,Na) und K2NaTi(O2)F5 Kristallstruktur von K3Ti(O2)F5

Transition Metal Peroxofluoro Complexes. VII. Peroxofluorokryolithes A₃Ti(O₂)F₅ (A = K, Na) and K₂NaTi(O₂)F₅. Crystal Structure of K₃Ti(O₂)F₅ Peroxofluorokryolithes A₃Ti(O₂)F₅ (A = K, Na) and K₂NaTi(O₂)F₅ were prepared at pH 4.5–6 by adding H₂O₂ and AOH/AF to solutions of TiO₂ in hydrofluoric acid or aqueous solutions of TiF₄. In the range of pH 3–4.5 exist phases of peroxofluoro-kryolithes with variations in stoichiometrie. A single crystall X-ray structure analysis of K₃Ti(O₂)F₅ (Fm3m, a = 883.6(1) pm) yielded a disordered kryolithstructure (R = 0.020, R_W = 0.017). Na₃Ti(O₂)F₅ was found to crystallize in two monoclinic low-temperature – and one cubic high-temperature modifications. K₂NaTi(O₂)F₅ crystallizes cubic (Fm3m) with a = 847.8(1) pm. Vibrational spectra have been measured and thermal behavior was studied by DTA/DTG and high-temperature guinier. At pH 9.5 K₃Ti(O₂)₂F₃ has been synthesized     

Poly[(μ4‐adamantane‐1,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ5O1:O1′:O3,O3′:O3′)(μ3‐adamantane‐1,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ5O1,O1′:O3,O3′:O3′)dimagnesium]: a layered coordination polymer

The title compound, [Mg₂(C₁₂H₁₄O₄)₂]_n, is the first example of an s‐block metal adamantanedicarboxylate coordination polymer. The asymmetric unit comprises two crystallographically unique Mg^II centers and two adamantane‐1,3‐dicarboxylate ligands. The compound is constructed from a combination of chains of corner‐sharing magnesium‐centered polyhedra, parallel to the a axis, connected by organic linkers to form a layered polymer. The two Mg^II centers are present in distorted tetrahedral and octahedral coordination environments derived from carboxylate O atoms. Tetrahedrally coordinated Mg^II centers have been reported in organometallic compounds, but this is the first time that such coordination has been observed in a magnesium‐based coordination polymer. The bond valance sums of the two Mg^II centers are 2.05 and 2.11 valence units, matching well with the expected value of 2.

Also colorless Rb₂Zr₃F₁₂O crystallizes trigonal, space group R3¯m — D₃d (No. 166), with a = 771.9 and c = 2963.0 pm, isotypic is Rb₂Hf₃F₁₂O with a = 769.2 pm and c = 2986.1 pm. Both compounds are isotypic with Tl₂Zr₃F₁₂O.     

A novel three‐dimensional heterometallic coordination polymer: poly[[hexaaquabis[μ3‐3,5‐dicarboxylatopyrazolato‐κ5O3,N2:N1,O5:O5′](μ2‐oxalato‐κ4O1,O2:O1′,O2′)copper(II)dierbium(III)] trihydrate]

The title novel heterometallic 3d–4f coordination polymer, {[CuEr₂(C₅HN₂O₄)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₆]·3H₂O}_n, has a three‐dimensional metal–organic framework composed of two types of metal atoms (one Cu^II and two Er^III) and two types of bridging anionic ligands [3,5‐dicarboxylatopyrazolate(3−) (ptc³⁻) and oxalate]. The Cu^II atom is four‐coordinated in a square geometry. The Er^III atoms are both eight‐coordinated, but the geometries at the two atoms appear different, viz. triangular dodecahedral and bicapped trigonal prismatic. One of the oxalate anions is located on a twofold axis and the other lies about an inversion centre. Both oxalate anions act as bis‐bidentate ligands bridging the latter type of Er atoms in parallel zigzag chains. The pdc³⁻ anions act as quinquedentate ligands not only chelating the Cu^II and the triangular dodecahedral Er^III centres in a bis‐bidentate bridging mode, but also connecting to Er^III centres of both types in a monodentate bridging mode. Thus, a three‐dimensional metal–organic framework is generated, and hydrogen bonds link the metal–organic framework with the uncoordinated water molecules. This study describes the first example of a three‐dimensional 3d–4f coordination polymer based on pyrazole‐3,5‐dicarboxylate and oxalate, and therefore demonstrates further the usefulness of pyrazoledicarboxylate as a versatile multidentate ligand for constructing heterometallic 3d–4f coordination polymers with interesting architectures.

Struktur‐ und magnetochemische Untersuchungen an Ba5Mn3F19 und verwandten Verbindungen AII5MIII3F19

Structural and Magnetochemical Studies of Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Related Compounds A^II₅M^III₃F₁₉ Single crystal structure determinations by X‐ray methods were performed at the following compounds, crystallizing tetragonally body‐centred (Z = 4): Sr₅V₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.4(2), c = 728.9(1) pm), Sr₅Cr₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.5(2), c = 728.1(1) pm), Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ (a = 1468.9(1), c = 770.3(1) pm, Ba₅Fe₃F₁₉ (a = 1483.5(1), c = 766.7(1) pm), and Ba₅Ga₃F₁₉ (a = 1466.0(2), c = 760.1(2) pm). Only Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ was refined in space group I4cm (mean distances for elongated octahedra Mn1–F: 185/207 pm equatorial/axial; for compressed octahedra Mn2–F: 199/182 pm), the remaining compounds in space group I4/m. In all cases the octahedral ligand spheres of the M1 atoms showed disorder, the [M1F₆] octahedra being connected into chains in one part of the compounds and into dimers in the other. The magnetic properties of the V, Cr and Mn compounds named above and of Pb₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Sr₅Fe₃F₁₉ as well were studied; the results are discussed in context with the in part problematic structures.     

Polymeric diaqua(μ2‐2,2′‐bipyrimidinyl‐κ4N1,N1′:N3,N3′)‐di‐μ3‐hydroxy‐bis(μ5‐benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylato‐κ5O1:O2:O3:O3:O5)tetracobalt(II) dihydrate

The structure of the title compound, [Co₄(C₉H₃O₆)₂(OH)₂(C₈H₆N₄)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, contains three separate species, namely the μ₅‐bridging C₉H₃O₆^3? anion, the doubly chelating and therefore μ₂‐bridging C₈H₆N₄ ligand (bi­pyrimidine, BPM), and the dihydrated di­aqua­di­hydroxy tetranuclear cationic cluster, [Co₄(OH^?)₂(H₂O)₂]⁶⁺·2H₂O, which lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, as does the BPM ligand with, in this case, the centre of symmetry coincident with the midpoint of the C—C bond joining the six‐membered rings. Within the cation cluster, the Co atoms of one pair are five‐coordinate and those of the other six‐coordinate.
