Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ammonium Cyanimide NH4HCN2

The compound NH₄HCN₂ ( 1 ) was prepared by the reaction of H₂CN₂ with liquid ammonia. The ammonium salt 1 was characterized by a low temperature single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The anionic part of the structure consists of HCN₂^? anions, which are connected via N–H···N bonds (H···N distance: 2.47Å, DHA: 165°). The N–H···N hydrogen bonds of the ammonium ion to the anions range from 2.00 to 2.14Å (DHA = Donor···Acceptor angles: 165–176°), all N–H···N interactions together give rise to a three‐dimensional network. 1 decomposes quantitatively to dicyandiamide at room temperature.

Some new oxozirconium(IV) complexes: ZrO(An)₂, ZrO(Gly)₂, ZrO(HSal)₂, ZrO(HPth)₂, ZrO(Pic)₂(HPic)₂, and ZrO(Quin)₂(H Quin)₂ have been isolated from the reactions of ZrO(CH₃COO)₂CH₃COOH with anthranilic acid (HAn), glycine (HGly), salicylic acid (H₂Sal), phthalic acid (H₂Pth), picolinic acid (HPic), and 8-quinolinol (HQuin) respectively. Their important infrared bands and wherever possible molar conductance and molecular weight have been reported.     

Dynamic disorder in ammonium oxofluorotungstates (NH4)2WO2F4 and (NH4)3WO3F3

Ammonium oxofluorotungstates, (NH₄)₂WO₂F₄ and (NH₄)₃WO₃F₃, are characterized by vibration spectroscopy and quantum chemistry methods with the use of NMR ¹⁹F and ¹H data. It is shown in the approximation of the density-functional theory that in isolated octahedrons [WO₂F₄]^2? and [WO₃F₃]^3? the mutual arrangement of oxygen atoms in cis-position corresponds to the energy minimum. The presence of intraspheric disorder in [WO₃F₃]^3? (unlike [WO₂F₄]^2?) explains the complex character of vibrational spectra of this anion and eliminates existent in the literature differences in their interpretation (between C _2v and C _3v structure variants). Models of intraspheric dynamics of [WO₃F₃]^3? are discussed.     

Crystal Structure of Ni(NH3)Cl2 and Ni(NH3)Br2

Ni(NH₃)Cl₂ and Ni(NH₃)Br₂ were prepared by the reaction of Ni(NH₃)₂X₂ with NiX₂ at 350 °C in a steel autoclave. The crystal structures were determined by X‐ray powder diffraction using synchrotron radiation and refined by Rietveld methods. Ni(NH₃)Cl₂ and Ni(NH₃)Br₂ are isotypic and crystallize in the space group I2/m with Z = 8 and for Ni(NH₃)Cl₂: a = 14.8976(3) Å, b = 3.56251(6) Å, c = 13.9229(3) Å, β = 106.301(1)°; Ni(NH₃)Br₂: a = 15.5764(1) Å, b = 3.74346(3) Å, c = 14.4224(1) Å, β = 105.894(1)°. The crystal structures are built up by two crystallographically distinct but chemically mostly equivalent polymeric octahedra double chains [NiX_3/3X_2/2(NH₃)] (X = Cl, Br) running along the short b‐axis. The octahedra NiX₅NH₃ share common edges therein. The crystal structures of the ammines Ni(NH₃)_mX₂ with m = 1, 2, 6 can be derived from that of the halides NiX₂ (X = Cl, Br) by successive fragmentation of its CdCl₂ like layers by NH₃.

(NH₄)₂[B₂P₃O₁₁(OH)] was synthesized as a crystalline colorless powder by reaction of (NH₄)₂HPO₄, H₃BO₃, and H₃PO₄ under hydrothermal conditions at 180 °C. According to X‐ray single‐crystal investigations (NH₄)₂[B₂P₃O₁₁(OH)] crystallizes in a new structure type in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ (no. 19) [Z = 4, a = 4.509(3), b = 14.490(11), c = 16.401(12) Å, R₁ = 0.046, wR₂ = 0.093, 1682 data, 200 parameters]. The crystal structure comprises infinite layers of corner‐sharing borate, phosphate and hydroxo‐phosphate tetrahedra with ammonium ions in‐between. The loop‐Branched (lB) zweier‐single layer reveals an open‐Branched (oB) vierer‐single ring as fundamental building unit (FBU), which was observed in (NH₄)₂Mn^II[B₂P₃O₁₁(OH)₂]Cl^[1] for the first time.

Ionic Mobility, Structure, Phase Transition, and Conductivity in (NH4)3Sb4F15

Fluoride and ammonium ion dynamics in (NH₄)₃Sb₄F₁₅ was studied by ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy in the range 180-440 K.
