Zur Struktur der basischen Diquecksilber(I)-nitrate. III. Kristallstruktur des Hg4O2(NO3)2

Crystal Structure of the Basic Dimercury(I) Nitrates. III. Crystal Structure of Hg₄O₂(NO₃)₂ Hg₄O₂(NO₃)₂ crystallizes monoclinic, space group P2₁/a – standard setting P2₁/c (C) – with a = 1158.0(2), b = 666.4(1), c = 553.3(1) pm, β = 98.82(1)° and Z = 2. The structure determination from single crystal diffractometer data (AgKα, 1170 I₀(hkl), numerical absorption corrections applied) resulted in a final R = 0.0512 (R_w = 0.0685). The mixed valence compound is built up of puckered layers [(Hg^II)_2/2O(Hg)_1/2]⁺ parallel (201). Within the layers there are exclusively covalent Hg? Hg and Hg? O bonds; whereas the linkage between the layers is achieved by weak Hg^I? O contacts and by nitrate ions functioning as weak bridging ligands for mercury atoms. This layer structure explains the distinct cleavage of crystals of Hg₄O₂(NO₃)₂.

Crystal Structure of the Basic Dimercury(I) Nitrates. II. Crystal Structure of Hg₁₀(OH)₄(NO₃)₆ . The crystal structure of Hg₁₀(OH)₄(NO₃)₆ has been determined from single crystal x-ray diffraction data. The unit cell is triclinic, space group P1 , a = 999.4(5), b = 909.9(5), c = 765.9(2) pm, α = 85.98(4), β = 78.70(3), γ = 109.83(5)°; Z = 1, R = 6.2%, R_w = 8.2%. Finite cationic chains [(Hg₂)₅(OH)₄(NO₃)₂]⁴⁺ are joined together by weak van der Waals-type interactions between neighbouring Hg and O atoms, thus forming ribbons running along [100]. The coordination sphere of the Hg atoms is completed by further nitrate ions, which lead to the formation of a loose framework. Thereby the metal atoms are not surrounded by simple coordination polyhedra.     

Synthese und Struktur der basischen Erdalkalinitrate Sr2(OH)3NO3 und Ba2(OH)3NO3

Synthesis and Structure of the Basic Alkaline Earth Nitrates Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ and Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ and Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ were synthesized from mixtures of freshly prepared strontium or barium hydroxides and their corresponding nitrates in evacuated quartz glass ampoules at 420 °C and 360 °C, respectively. Single crystals of Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ were obtained in a solidified Sr(NO₃)₂ melt after subsequent heating and cooling cycles in air up to 600 °C. The crystal structure of the strontium compound was refined from single crystal and powder X‐ray data. Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ crystallizes hexagonally in the space group (No. 189) with Z = 1 and the lattice parameters a = 6.624(2) Å and c = 3.560(1) Å (single crystal data). The powder pattern of Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ was indexed isotypically to Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ with the lattice parameters a = 6.9260(1) Å and c = 3.8086(1) Å, and the crystal structure was refined from powder X‐ray data. Alkaline earth ions in the structures are surrounded trigonal‐prismatically by six hydroxide ions. These prisms are sharing their trigonal faces along [001] building up columns. These columns are connected in the ab‐plane by shared edges, and form hexagonal tunnels with the nitrate groups stacked inside. Infrared and thermoanalytical data of Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ are presented.     

Crystal Structure of the Mixed‐Valent Basic Mercury Nitrate HgI2(NO3)2·HgII(OH)(NO3)·HgII(NO3)2·4HgIIO [= Hg8O4(OH)(NO3)5]

Light‐yellow single crystals of the mixed‐valent mercury‐rich basic nitrate Hg₈O₄(OH)(NO₃)₅ were obtained as a by‐product at 85 °C from a melt consisting of stoichiometric amounts of (Hg^I₂)(NO₃)₂·2H₂O and Hg^II(OH)(NO₃). The title compound, represented by the more detailed formula Hg^I₂(NO₃)₂·Hg^II(OH)(NO₃)·Hg^II(NO₃)₂·4Hg^IIO, exhibits a new structure type (monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 4, a = 6.7708(7), b = 11.6692(11), c = 24.492(2) Å, β = 96.851(2)°, 2920 structure factors, 178 parameters, R1[F² > 2σ(F²)] = 0.0316) and is made up of almost linear [O‐Hg^II‐O] and [O‐Hg^I‐Hg^I‐O] building blocks with typical Hg^II‐O distances around 2.06Å and a Hg^I‐O distance of 2.13Å. The Hg₂²⁺ dumbbell exhibits a characteristic Hg‐Hg distance of 2.5079(7) Å. The different types of mercury‐oxygen units form a complex three‐dimensional network exhibiting large cavities which are occupied by the nitrate groups. The NO₃^? anions show only weak interactions between the nitrate oxygen atoms and the mercury atoms which are at distances > 2.6Å from one another. One of the three crystallographically independent nitrate groups is disordered.

Zur Kenntnis des Bariumhexahydroxoplatinats BaPt(OH)6 · H2O

On Barium Hexahydroxoplatinate BaPt(OH)₆ · H₂O The crystal structure of BaPt(OH)₆ · H₂O, monoclinic, space group P2₁/m, a = 628.4, b = 624.6, c = 857.4 pm, β = 108.19°, Z = 2, contains octahedral Pt(OH)₆ groups and ninefold-coordinated barium. The water molecules are not coordinated to metal atoms but connected with Pt(OH)₆ groups only by very weak hydrogen bonds with oxygen-oxygen distances of 292—296 pm. The compound is dehydrated readily when dried gently. This explains contradictory evidence concerning its water content.     

Kristallstrukturen des Sr(OH)2 · H2O,Ba(OH)2 · H2O (o.-rh. und mon.) und Ba(OH)2 · 3 H2O

Crystal Structures of Sr(OH)₂ · H₂O, Ba(OH)₂ · H₂O (o.-rh. and mon.), and Ba(OH)₂ · 3 H₂O The crystal structures of Ba(OH)₂ · 3 H₂O (Pnma, Z = 4), γ-Ba(OH)₂ · H₂O (P2₁/m, Z = 2) and the isotypic Sr(OH)₂ · H₂O and β-Ba(OH)₂ · H₂O (Pmc2₁, Z = 2) were determined using X-ray single crystal data. Ba(OH)₂ · 3 H₂O and Ba(OH)₂ · H₂O mon. crystallize in hitherto unknown structure types. The structure of Ba(OH)₂ · H₂O mon. is strongly related to that of rare earth hydroxides M(OH)₃ with space group P6₃/m (super group of P2₁/m). The metal-oxygen distances are significantly shorter for OH^? ions (mean Ba—O bond lengths of all hydroxides under investigation 278.1 pm) than for H₂O molecules (289.9 pm). Corresponding to other hydrates of ionic hydroxides, the water molecules form strong hydrogen bonds to adjacent OH^? ions whereas the hydroxide are not H-bonded.     

Kristallstruktur von Cadmium-Kupfer-Hydroxidnitrat,CdCu3 (OH)6 (NO3)2·H2O

The crystal structure of cadmium copper hydroxide nitrate, CdCu₃ (OH)₆ (NO₃)₂ · H₂O, has been determined from three dimensional single crystal X-ray data. One single elementary cell of the compound has to be of triclinic symmetry, but as either the crystal is built up from such triclinic domains grown together regularly at angles of 120 degrees, or the nitrate groups of the whole crystal are distributed statistically over three possible orientations standing at 120 degree angles respectively to each other, the structure can also be described in the hexagonal system: a = 6.522 ± 0.005 Å, c = 7.012 ± 0.006 Å, space group D – P 3 m 1, cell content one formula unit. Mixed layers (00.1) of Cu and Cd atoms are embedded between layers consisting of the OH groups and one oxygen atom per nitrate group. The nitrate groups extend with their trigonal plane nearly perpendicular to the layers (00.1) and connect them by hydrogen bridges between the remaining two oxygen atoms and OH groups of the next layer. The Cd atoms are coordinated octahedrally by six equidistant OH groups, and the Cu atoms have a strongly distorted octahedral (4 + 2) coordination with four OH groups and two nitrate oxygens. Thermogravimetric measurements allowed to distinguish the crystal water molecule from variable amounts of excess water. The hydrogen bonds between OH groups and nitrate oxygen atoms and the deformation of the nitrate groups were confirmed by infrared spectra.

The polyhedra around Sr²⁺ are connected to chains which are linked three-dimensionally by isolated tetrahedra [Zn(OH)₄]. Hydrogen bonds between H₂O as donor and OH^? are characterized by raman spectroscopy.

It is to be formulated as Re₂O₇(OH₂)₂ · 2(1,4-dioxane) and contains, contrary to 1 , no 1,4-dioxane coordinated to Re. The crystalline phase consists of a supramolecular arrangement of Re₂O₇(OH₂)₂ units as in “solid perrhenic acid” and of 1,4-dioxane molecules associated through O? H …? O hydrogen bridges. Analogous to dirhenium heptoxide and to solid perrhenic acid one of the rhenium atoms is in tetrahedral, the other is in distorted octahedral coordination.

Zur Kenntnis der Struktur von Sr3(BN2)2

On the Structure of Sr₃(BN₂)₂ The structure of Sr₃(BN₂)₂ was determined on single-crystal X-ray data collected with a four-circle diffractometer. Sr₃(BN₂)₂ crystallizes in the cubic space group Im3 m (no. 229) with a = 764.56(3) pm and Z = 3. The structure contains linear BN^3?₂ ions with a B? N bond length of 135.8(6) pm. The straight forward synthesis employing metal nitrides plus boron nitride yielded crystalline powders of M₃(BN₂)₂ (M = Ca, Sr) at 1100°C (5 days). Cubic indexing of guinier patterns gave a = 765.8(1) pm for M = Sr and a = 734.7(2) pm for M = Ca. The structure refinement on a single crystal of Sr₃(BN₂)₂ revealed that one strontium site (2a; 0, 0, 0) is occupied by only about 50%. It has been tried to fully occupy this site with an alkali metal (A) to obtain ASr₄(BN₂)₃ (Z = 2). Reactions with A = Na yielded crystalline powders. Cubic indexing of the guinier pattern analogous to that of Sr₃(BN₂)₂ gave a = 754.2(1) pm.
