Präparation,Kristallstruktur und thermisches Verhalten der Quecksilber(I)phosphate α-(Hg2)3(PO4)2, β-(Hg2)3(PO4)2 und (Hg2)2P2O7

Contributions on Crystal Structures and Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. XXIII. Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Behaviour of the Mercury(I) Phosphates α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂, β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂, and (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ Light-yellow single crystals of (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ have been obtained via chemical vapour transport in a temperature gradient (500 °C → 450 °C, 23 d) using Hg₂Cl₂ as transport agent. Characteristic feature of the crystal structure (P2/n, Z = 2, a = 9,186(1), b = 4,902(1), c = 9,484(1) Å, β = 98,82(2)°, 1228 independent of 5004 reflections, R(F) = 0,066 for 61 variables, 7 atoms in the asymmetric unit) are Hg₂²⁺-units with d(Hg1–Hg1) = 2,508 Å and d(Hg2–Hg2) = 2,519 Å. The dumbbells Hg₂²⁺ are coordinated by oxygen, thus forming polyhedra [(Hg1₂)O₄] and [(Hg2₂)O₆]. These polyhedra share some oxygen atoms. In addition they are linked by the diphosphate anion P₂O₇^4– (ecliptic conformation; ∠(P,O,P) = 129°) to built up the 3-dimensional structure. Under hydrothermal conditions (T = 400 °C) orange single crystals of the mercury(I) orthophosphates α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ and β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ have been obtained from (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇ and H₃PO₄ (c = 1%). The crystal structures of both modifications have been refined from X-ray single crystal data [α-form (β-form): P2₁/c (P2₁/n), Z = 2 (2), a = 8,576(3) (7,869(3)), b = 4,956(1) (8,059(3)), c = 15,436(3) (9,217(4)) Å, β = 128,16(3) (108,76(4))°, 1218 (1602) independent reflections of 4339 (6358) reflections, R(F) = 0,039 (0,048) for 74 (74) variables, 8 (8) atoms in the asymmetric unit]. In the structure of α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ three crystallographically independent mercury atoms, located in two independent dumbbells, are coordinated by three oxygen atoms each. Thus, [(Hg₂)O₆] dimers with a strongly distorted tetrahedral coordination of all mercury atoms are formed. Such dimers are present besides [(Hg₂)O₅]-polyhedra in the less dense crystal structure of β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂ (d(Hg–Hg) = 2,518 Å). The mercury(I) phosphates are thermally labile and disproportionate between 200 °C (β-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂) and 480 °C (α-(Hg₂)₃(PO₄)₂) to elemental mercury and the corresponding mercury(II) phosphate.

Das Ramanspektrum zeigt die charakteristischen Banden des Anions [Ge₉]^4– bei 151, 163, 185 und 222 cm^–1. Rb₄[Ge₉][en] kristallisiert in einem neuen Strukturtyp (Raumgruppe P2₁/m; a = 15.353 Å, b = 16.434 Å, c = 15.539 Å, β = 113.75°; Z = 6; Pearsonsymbol mP198-40), der als hierarchische Variante der Strukturen von Al₄YbMo₂ und CrB₄ (hierarchische Basistypen, „initiators”︁) beschrieben werden kann, indem Atome partiell durch Aggregate ersetzt werden: B₄[□][Cr] ≙ Al₄[Yb][Mo]₂ ≙ Rb₄[Ge₉][en]_1–2. Drei kristallographisch unabhängige [Ge₉]^4–-Cluster sind in ein vierbindiges 46⁵-Netz aus Rb-Atomen eingebettet, ein Netzwerk kondensierter Tetraasterane. Die Cluster sind verzerrte überkappte tetragonale Antiprismen mit D₁(Ge–Ge) = 2.57 Å (16 Ç ) und D₂(Ge–Ge) = 2.84 Å (4 Ç ). Die Atome der Cluster mit D₁ und D₂ liegen auf der Oberfläche eines Rotationsellipsoids (a = b = 2.136 Å, c = 2.431 Å). Die en-Moleküle befinden sich in offenen Kanälen entlang [1¯ 0 1]. Die Koordinationen [Ge₉]Rb_12/4 und Rb [Ge₉]_4/12 en_2/8 zeigen, daß beim ersten Schritt der Solvatisierung Kationen und Clusteranionen nicht voneinander getrennt werden.     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von (n‐Bu4N)2[Os(NCS)6] und (n‐Bu4N)3[Os(NCS)6]

Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ( n ‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆] and ( n ‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] By tempering the solid mixture of the linkage isomers (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)_n(SCN)_6–n] n = 0–5 for a longer time at temperatures increasing from 60 to 140 °C the homoleptic (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] is formed, which on oxidation with (NH₄)₂[Ce(NO₃)₆] in acetone yields the corresponding Os^IV complex (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆]. X‐ray structure determinations on single crystals of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Os(NCS)₆] (1) (triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.596(5), b = 12.666(5), c = 16.026(5) Å, α = 88.063(5), β = 80.439(5), γ = 88.637(5)°, Z = 2) and (n‐Bu₄N)₃[Os(NCS)₆] ( 2 ) (cubic, space group Pa 3, a = 24.349(4) Å, Z = 8) have been performed. The nearly linear thiocyanate groups are coordinated with Os–N–C angles of 172.3–177.7°. Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determinations the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constant f_d(OsN) is 2.3 ( 1 ) and 2.10 mdyn/Å ( 2 ).     

Halogenomercurate: Darstellung und Strukturen von [Cu(en)2][Hg2Cl6], [Cu(en)2][Hg2Br6] und [Cu(en)2][HgBr4]

Halomercurates: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [Cu(en)₂][Hg₂Cl₆], [Cu(en)₂][Hg₂Br₆], and [Cu(en)₂][HgBr₄] Crystals of [Cu(en)₂][Hg₂Cl₆] ( 1 ) have been obtained by layering a solution of Hg(NO₃)₂ and NaCl with a solution of [Cu(en)₂]SO₄. An analogous procedure, using NaBr instead of NaCl, gave crystals of [Cu(en)₂][HgBr₄] ( 3 ). Crystals of [Cu(en)₂][Hg₂Br₆] ( 2 ) were obtained by gel crystallization using the same starting materials as for 3 . The complexes show very low solubility. The dinuclear anions of 1 consist of two nearly planar HgCl₃ units related by a center of symmetry. In 2 infinite anionic chains are present, made up of parallel HgBr₃ units. These units are packed in such a way as to produce a trigonal bipyramidal configuration around the Hg atoms. 3 contains mononuclear deformed tetrahedral [HgBr₄]^2– anions. In all three complexes the packing of the ions is such that halogen atoms of halomercurate anions complete a tetragonal bipyramidal coordination at Cu. The resulting Cu–Halogen distances are 2.924 Å for 1 , 3.036 Å for 2 and 3.085 and 3.119 Å for 3 . 1 : Space group P 1, Z = 1, lattice constants at 20 °C: a = 7.000(2), b = 7.526(2), c = 8.239(2) Å; α = 88.39(2), β = 86.06(2), γ = 86.10(3)°; R₁ = 0.040. 2 : Space group P2₁/c, Z = 2, lattice constants at –50 °C: a = 7.185(1), b = 16.338(2), c = 7.814(1) Å; β = 94.88(2)°; R₁ = 0.033. 3 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, lattice constants at 20 °C: a = 8.055(3), b = 13.101(3), c = 13.814(3) Å; β = 91.24(3)°; R₁ = 0.092.
