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.

Die KristallStruktur von Ti7Cl16 und Ti7Br16: Verbindungen mit trigonalen Ti3-Clustern

Crystal Structure of Ti₇Cl₁₆ and Ti₇Br₁₆: Compounds with Trigonal Ti₃ Clusters The mixed-valence titanium halides Ti₇Cl₁₆ and Ti₇Br₁₆ are isotypic and have orthorhombic unit cells (space group Pnnm) with a = 14.421(4), b = 9.987(3), c = 6.890(2) Å and a = 5.228(4), b = 10.577(3), c = 7.276(2) Å, Z = 2. The crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.029 and 0.063). The structures consist of trimeric Ti₃Cl₁₃ and Ti₃Br₁₃ cluster units which are linked three-dimensionally to each other and to isolated TiCl₆ (TiBr₆) octahedra. The Ti? Ti bond lengths in the equilateral Ti₃ triangles of the clusters are strongly dependent from the halogen, being 2.953—2.955(2) Å for Ti₇Cl₁₆ and 3.073—3.097(6) Å for Ti₇Br₁₆. By the Ti? Ti bonds the Ti atoms of the Ti₃Cl₁₃ (Ti₃Br₁₃) groups are displaced from the centres of their octahedral coordination towards the Ti₃ centre. This leads to the Ti? Clⁱ (Ti? Brⁱ) bond lengths of 2.359—2.424(2) Å (2.509—2.574(4) Å) being much shorter than the rest of the Ti? Cl (Ti? Br) bonds of 2.508—2.642(2) Å (2.659—2.826(7) Å).

The dinuclear cations consist of two M(BMIK) moieties (M = Pt, Pd) bridged by the N- and O-atoms of α-pyridonate, forcing the heterocyclic ring into head-head-orientation. Within the dinuclear cation, the two metal atoms are between 2.840 Å and 2.860 Å apart. The intermolecular distances are between 4.762 Å and 4.837 Å.

The coordination polyhedron of Cu(2) is a trigonal bipyramid formed by the O atoms of the hfac anions (Cu?O_hfac 1.91(1)–2.12(1) for I and 1.91(1)–2.09(1) Å for II) and an imine N atom of the radical (Cu(2)?N(2) 2.00(1) for I and 2.03(1) Å for II). The molecules are linked by van der Waals forces.

Na3Al2Nb34O64 und Na (Si,Nb) Nb10O19: Clusterverbindungen mit isolierten Nb6-Oktaedern

Na₃Al₂Nb₃₄O₆₄ and Na (Si, Nb) Nb₁₀O₁₉. Cluster Compounds with Isolated Nb₆-Octahedra Hexagonal ormolu coloured plates of the new compounds Na₃Al₂Nb₃₄O₆₄ ( I ) and Na(Si, Nb)Nb₁₀O₁₉ ( II ) were prepared by heating pellets of NaF, Al₂O₃, NbO₂ and NbO (3:1:8:2) and NaF, NbO₂ and NbO (1:4:2), respectively, at approx. 850°C. I was contained in a sealed gold capsule, II in a silica tube. The Si incorporated in II originates from the container material. Both compounds crystallize in R 3 , I with a = 784.4(1), c = 7065(1) pm, Z = 3 and II with a = 784.1(1), c = 4221.8(5) pm, Z = 6. I and II represent new structure types. They contain the same characteristic structural units, namely discrete Nb₆O₁₂ clusters (d_Nb–Nb = 283 ± 4 pm) and Nb₂O₁₀ units with Nb–Nb dumbells (d_Nb–Nb ≈? 269 pm) in edgesharing coordination octahedra. In addition NbO₆ octahedra containing Nb in the oxidation state + 5 and NaO₁₂ cube-octahedra occur in both compounds besides AlO₄ and SiO₄ tetrahedra in I and II , respectively. The structures can be described in terms of a common closepacking of O and Na atoms together with Nb₆ octahedra.
