Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Characterization of Two Zeotype Crystals of K4[Cr3O(H2O)3(OOCH)6]2[P2W18O62] ·9.5H2O and K4[Cr3O(H2O)3(OOCH)6[H3P2W17Co(H2O)O61]·20H2O

Two novel zeotype crystals, K4[Cr3O(H2O)3(OOCH)6]2[P2W18O62]·9.5H2O(1) and K4 [Cr3O(H2O)3·X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystal data: C12H43O103.5K4Cr6P2W18(1), hexagonal P6(3)/m, a=1.5895(2)nm, b=1.5895(2) nm, c=2.1620(4) nm, α=90°, β=90°, γ =120°, V=4.7305(13) nm3, Z=2,R1 =0. 0726, wR2=0. 1542; C6H57O98K4Cr3CoP2W17(2), hexagonal P6(3)/mmc, a=1. 61328 (3) nm, b=1.61328(3) nm, c=2. 06613 (9) nm, α=90°,β=90°, γ=120°, V=4. 6570(2) nm3, Z=2, R1=0. 0377,wR2 =0.1070. These crystals were characterized using elemental analysis, IR, TG-DTA, and XRD. It was found that the polyoxometalate anions maintained Wells-Dawson structure for crystal 1 and lacunary Wells-Dawson structure for crystal 2. Thermal analysis showed that crystal 1 lost the water of crystallization at 132 ℃, whereas crystal 2 lost the water of crystallization at 100 ℃. Crystal 1 could reversibly desorb and adsorb water molecules and its crystal structure could be restored after re-adsorbing the water molecules. It was also found from the XRD patterns that the void size of crystal 2 is smaller compared with that of crystal 1, which is attributed to the higher anion charges.     

Non-Prussian blue structures and magnetic ordering of Na2Mn(II)[Mn(II)(CN)6] and Na2Mn(II)[Mn(II)(CN)6]·2H2O

The aqueous reaction of Mn(II) and NaCN leads to the isolation of the 3-D Prussian blue analogue (PBA) Na(2)Mn[Mn(CN)(6)]·2H(2)O (1·H(2)O), which under careful dehydration forms 1. 1·H(2)O is monoclinic [P2(1)/n, a = 10.66744(32) ?, b = 7.60223(23) ?, c = 7.40713(22) ?, β = 92.4379(28)°], while 1 is rhombohedral [R ?3, a = 6.6166(2) ?, c = 19.2585(6) ?], and both structures are atypical for PBAs, which are typically face centered cubic. Most notably, the average ∠Mn-N-C angles are 165.3(3)° and 142.4(4)° for 1·H(2)O and 1, respectively, which are significantly reduced from linearity. This is attributed to the ionic nature of high-spin Mn(II) accommodating a reduced ∠Mn-N-C to minimize void space. Both 1 and 1·H(2)O magnetically order as ferrimagnets below their ordering temperature, T(c), of 58 and 30 K, respectively, as determined from the average of several independent methods. 1 and 1·H(2)O are hard magnets with 5 K coercive fields of 15,300 and 850 Oe, and remnant magnetizations of 9075 and 102 emu·Oe/mol, respectively. These data along with previous T(c)'s reported for related materials reveal that T(c) increases as the ∠Mn-N-C deviates further from linearity. Hence, the bent cyanide bridges play a crucial role in the superexchange mechanism by increasing the coupling via shorter Mn(II)···Mn(II) separations, and perhaps an enhanced overlap.     

Two Light-Metal Dihydrogenisocyanurate Hydrates Linked by Diagonal Relationship: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Vibrational Spectra of Li[H2N3C3O3]·1.75 H2O and Mg[H2N3C3O3]2·8 H2O

Single-crystalline materials of Li[H₂N₃C₃O₃] · 1.75 H₂O and Mg[H₂N₃C₃O₃]₂ · 8 H₂O were obtained by dissolving stoichiometric amounts of the respective carbonates with cyanuric acid in boiling water followed by gentle evaporation of excess water after cooling to room temperature. Even though both of these compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group P1 according to X-ray structure analyses of their colorless and transparent single crystals, they adopt two new different structure types. Li[H₂N₃C₃O₃] · 1.75 H₂O exhibits the unit-cell parameters a = 884.71(6) pm, b = 905.12(7) pm, c = 964.38(7) pm, α = 67.847(2)°, β = 62.904(2)° and γ = 68.565(2)° (Z = 4), whereas the lattice parameters for Mg[H₂N₃C₃O₃]₂ · 8 H₂O are a = 691.95(5) pm, b = 1055.06(8) pm, c = 1183.87(9) pm, α = 85.652(2)°, β = 83.439(2)° and γ = 79.814(2)° (Z = 2). In both cases, the singly deprotonated isocyanuric acid forms monovalent anions consisting of cyclic [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– units, which are arranged in ribbons typical for most hitherto known monobasic isocyanurate hydrates. The structures are governed by the oxophilic strength of the respective cation which means that they fulfil their oxophilic coordination requirements either solely with water molecules ([Mg(OH₂)₆]²⁺ for Mg²⁺) or with crystal water and one or two direct coordinative contacts to carbonyl oxygen atoms (O_(cy)) of [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– anions ([(Li(OH₂)_2–3(O_(cy)1–2]⁺ for Li⁺). In both structures occur dominant hydrogen bonds N–H ··· O within the anionic [H₂N₃C₃O₃]^– ribbons as well as hydrogen bonds O–H ··· O between these ribbons and the hydrated Li⁺ and Mg²⁺ cations.

The anions are linked into an infinite chain through Ti4O4(C2O4)8 by sharing the oxalates as bridging ligands.

The nine-coordinated [Eu^III(Edta)(H₂O)₃]^– complex anion has a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which the nine coordinated atoms, two N and four O are from one Edta ligand and three O atoms from water molecules. The crystal of complex II is monoclinic with P2₁/c space group. The crystal data are as follows: a = 1.0387(3) nm, b = 1.2737(4) nm, c = 2.3031(7) nm, = 90.870(5)°, V = 3.047(2) nm³, Z = 4, M = 784.58, C 51.83, H 4.32, N 115.12. = 1.710 g cm^–3, = 2.143 mm^–1 and F(000) = 1608. The final R and wR are 0.0400 and 0.0720 for 5909 (I > 2.0(I)) unique reflections, and 0.0747 and 0.0799 for all 13825 reflections, respectively. The nine-coordinated [Eu^III(Ttha)]^3– complex anion has a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic structure in which the Ttha acts as an ninedentate ligand with four N atoms of amino groups and five O atoms of carboxylic groups actually, in addition, there is a non-coordinated free carboxylic group in the structure.
