Isolierte [M6S14]-Baueinheiten in ternären Sulfiden des Technetiums und Rheniums

Isolated [M₆S₁₄] Units in Ternary Sulfides of Technetium and Rhenium We have successfully prepared the ternary sulfides Rb₁₀Tc₆S₁₄, Cs₁₀Tc₆S₁₄, Rb₁₀Re₆S₁₄, and Cs₁₀Re₆S₁₄ by heating alkali carbonate with elemental technetium or rhenium in a hydrogen stream charged with sulfur. Structural investigations on single crystals revealed that these compounds crystallize in the space group Fm3 m. [M₆S₁₄] cluster units (M $ \hat = $ Tc, Re) are found as the characteristic structural features, in which regular M₆ octahedra are coordinated by sulfur atoms over their eight faces and six vertices. Other than in the case of the previously investigated ternary technetium and rhenium chalcogenides, these units are not linked to one another, but occur as isolated complex anions which form a cubic close packed array. The alkali ions, whose sites are partly statistically occupied, are found on the corners, the edges and the longer face diagonals of a rhombic dodecahedron surrounding each of these units. The dodecahedra share all their faces with one another. The diamagnetic behaviour which was measured on Cs₁₀Tc₆S₁₄ in the temperature range from 10 to 295 K is in accordance with a 24-electron-configuration of the regular M₆ octahedra.
