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.

A possible mechanism of formation is discussed on the basis of precursor structures.     

Das erste Vanadium(III)‐Borophosphat: Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von CsV3(H2O)2[B2P4O16(OH)4]

The First Vanadium(III) Borophosphate: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions (T = 165 °C) from mixtures of CsOH_(aq), VCl₃, H₃BO₃, and H₃PO₄ (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 1 : 2).

V^III is octahedrally coordinated by oxygen of adjacent phosphate tetrahedra and OH groups of borate tetrahedra as well as oxygen of phosphate tetrahedra and H₂O molecules, respectively (coordination octahedra VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂). The oxidation state +3 for vanadium was confirmed by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. The trimeric borophosphate groups are connected via vanadium centres to form layers with octahedra‐tetrahedra ring systems, which are likewise linked via V^III‐coordination octahedra. Overall, a three‐dimensional framework constructed from VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra as well as BO₂(OH)₂ and PO₄ tetrahedra results. The structure contains channels running along [001], which are occupied by Cs⁺ in a distorted octahedral coordination (CsO₄(H₂O)₂).

The reinvestigation of the crystal structure led to distinctly better agreement factors and significantly reduced standard deviations for the interatomic distances.

Yellowish single crystals of acidic mercury(I) phosphate (Hg₂)₂(H₂PO₄)(PO₄) were obtained at 200 °C under hydrothermal conditions in 32% HF from a starting complex of microcrystalline (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇. Refinement of single crystal data converged at a conventional residual R[F² > 2σ(F²)] = 3.8% (C2/c, Z = 8, a = 9.597(2) Å, b = 12.673(2) Å, c = 7.976(1) Å, β = 110.91(1)°, V = 906.2(2) ų, 1426 independent reflections > 2σ out of 4147 reflections, 66 variables). The crystal structure consists of Hg₂²⁺‐dumbbells and discrete phosphate groups H₂PO₄^– and PO₄^3–. The Hg₂²⁺ pairs are built of two crystallographically independent Hg atoms with a distance d(Hg1–Hg2) = 2.5240(6) Å. The oxygen coordination sphere around the mercury atoms is asymmetric with three O atoms for Hg1 and four O atoms for Hg2. The oxygen atoms belong to the different PO₄ tetrahedra, which in case of H₂PO₄‐groups are connected by hydrogen bonding. Upon heating over 230 °C, (Hg₂)₂(H₂PO₄)(PO₄) condenses to (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇, which in turn disproportionates at higher temperatures into Hg₂P₂O₇ and elemental mercury.

The thermally‐induced transformation is reversible; upon keeping the heterogeneous mixture of I and mother liquor at 80 °C recrystallization of II was observed. Single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography revealed that I possesses a unique three‐dimensional (3D) open‐framework structure built from corner‐linked ZnO₄ and HPO₄ tetrahedra.

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.

Synthesis of Copper and Silver Complexes with Pentadentate N,S and Hexadentate N,O Chelate Ligands – Characterization and Crystal Structures of {Cu₂[C₆H₄(SO₂)NC(O)]₂(C₅H₅N)₄}, {Cu₂[C₅H₃N(CHNC₆H₄SCH₃)₂]₂}(PF₆)₂, and {Ag[C₅H₃N(CHNC₆H₄SCH₃)₂]}PO₂F₂ In the course of the reaction of copper(II)-acetate monohydrate with 2,2′-bisbenzo[d][1,3]thiazolidyl in methanol the organic component is transformed to N,N′-bis-(2-thiophenyl)ethanediimine and subsequently oxidized to the N,N′-bis-(2-benzenesulfonyl)ethanediaciddiamide H₄BBSED, which coordinates in its deprotonated form two Cu²⁺ ions. Crystallisation from pyridine/n-hexane yields [Cu₂(BBSED)(py)₄] · MeOH. It forms triclinic crystals with the space group P1 and a = 995.5(2) pm, b = 1076.1(3) pm, c = 1120.7(2) pm, α = 104.17(1)°, β = 105.28(1)°, γ = 113.10(1)° and Z = 1. In the centrosymmetrical dinuclear complex the copper ions are coordinated in a square-pyramidal arrangement by three nitrogen and two oxygen atoms. The Jahn-Teller effect causes an elongation of the axial bond by approximately 30 pm. The reactions of the pentadentate ligand 2,6-Bis-[(2- methylthiophenyl)-2-azaethenyl]pyridine BMTEP with salts of copper(I), copper(II) and silver(I) yield the complexes [CU₂(BMTEP)₂](PF₆)₂, [Cu(BMTEP)]X₂ (X = BF, C1O) and [Ag(BMTEP)]X (X = PO₂F, ClO).

In the dinuclear complex cation with the symmetry C₂ the copper ions are tetrahedrally coordinated by two bridging BMTEP ligands. The Cu? Cu distance of 278.3pm can be interpreted with weak Cu? Cu interactions which also manifest itself in a temperature independent paramagnetism of 0.45 B.M.

Novel Halogenochalcogeno(IV) Acids: [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] Systematic studies on halogenochalcogeno(IV) acids containing tellurium and bromine led to the new crystalline phases [H₃O(Benzo‐18‐Crown‐6)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 1 ) and [H₅O₂(Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8)]₂[Te₂Br₁₀] ( 2 ). The [Te₂Br₁₀]^2‐ anions consists of two edge‐sharing distorted TeBr₆ octahedra, the oxonium cations are stabilized by crownether. ( 1 ) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 14.520(5) Å, b = 22.259(6) Å, c = 16.053(5) Å, β = 97.76(3)° and Z = 4, whereas ( 2 ) crystallizes in the triclinic space group with a = 11.005(4) Å, b = 12.103(5) Å, c = 14.951(6) Å, α = 71.61(3)°, β = 69.17(3)°, γ = 68.40(3)° and Z = 1.     

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.
