Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Cyano-bridged Bimetallic Complex[La(betaine)_2(H_2O)_6Fe(CN)_6]·2H_2O

1 INTRODUCTION In the last decade, cyano-bridged Prussian Blueanalogues[1] have been intensively studied from theviewpoint of application as functionalized molecule-based magnets[2], chemical sensor materials[3], fluo-rescent materials[4] and zeolitic-type materials[5, , 6]etc. In 1976, a series of cyano-bridged three-dimen-sional rare earth hexacyanometalates(IIILnM(CN)6?nH2O (M = Fe or Cr, n = 4 or 5) were crystallized andsubjected to single-crystal X-ray analysis[7]. …     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Tetranuclear Carboxylate-bridged Lanthanum(III)-Zinc(II) Complex [La_2Zn_2(m-CNC_6H_4COO)_(10)(Py)_2(C_2H_5OH)_2]

1 INTRODUCTION In the past few years, more extensive attention had been paid to the research on the chemistry of the heterometallic complexes containing simultaneously lanthanide (Ln) and transition metal ions[1～9]. Interest has been largely focused on the magnetic properties resulting from the Gd(III)-Cu(II) couple, which has been found to be directly ferromagnetic irrespective of the structural details[1～5]. Recent studies have further revealed that the magnitude of the ferromagnet…     

Rational synthesis of [Ge9{Si(SiMe3)3}3]- from its parent Zintl ion Ge9(4-)

Reported is the first rational synthesis of a trisubstituted deltahedral Zintl ion, [Ge(9){Si(SiMe(3))(3)}(3)](-) in this case, by the addition of the three substituents in a reaction of the parent naked deltahedral Zintl ion Ge(9)(4-) with {(Me(3)Si)(3)Si}Cl. The new species were crystallized and structurally characterized in [K(2,2,2-crypt)](2)[Ge(9){Si(SiMe(3))(3)}(3)] (monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 26.497(3) ?, b = 24.090(2) ?, c = 29.268(3) ?, β = 113.888(2)°, V = 17082(3) ?(3), Z = 8, R1/wR2 = 0.0436/0.0812 for the observed data and 0.1023/0.1010 for all data).     

Electron-deficient Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge6 intermetallic: a layered intergrowth phase of the Gd5Si4- and FeB-type structures

A novel electron-poor Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge? compound adopts the Ca?Sn?-type structure (space group Pnma, Z = 4, a = 7.5943(5) ?, b = 22.905(1) ?, c = 8.3610(4) ?, and V = 1454.4(1) ?3). The compound can be seen as an intergrowth of the Gd?Si?-type (Pnma) R?Ge? (R = rare earth) and FeB-type (Pnma) RGe compounds. The phase analysis suggests that the Eu(7-x)Gd(x)Ge? series displays a narrow homogneity range of stabilizing the Ca?Sn? structure at x ≈ 0.5. The structural results illustrate the structural rigidity of the 2(∝)[R?X?] slabs (X = p-element) and a possibility for discovering new intermetallics by combining the 2(∝)[R?X?] slabs with other symmetry-approximate building blocks. Electronic structure analysis suggests that the stability and composition of Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge? represents a compromise between the valence electron concentration, bonding, and existence of the neighboring EuGe and (Eu,Gd)?Ge? phases.

Intermetallics as zintl phases: Yb2Ga4Ge6 and RE3Ga4Ge6 (RE=Yb, Eu): structural response of a [Ga4Ge6]4- framework to reduction by two electrons

Two new intermetallic compounds, Yb(2)Ga(4)Ge(6) and Yb(3)Ga(4)Ge(6), were obtained from reactions in molten Ga. A third compound, Eu(3)Ga(4)Ge(6), was produced by direct combination of the elements. The crystal structures of these compounds were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Yb(2)Ga(4)Ge(6) crystallizes in an orthorhombic cell with a=4.1698(7), b=23.254(4), c=10.7299(18) A in the polar space group Cmc2(1). The structure of RE(3)Ga(4)Ge(6) is monoclinic, space group C2/m, with cell parameters a=23.941(6), b=4.1928(11), c=10.918(3) A, beta=91.426(4) degrees for RE=Yb, and a=24.136(2), b=4.3118(4), c=11.017(1) A, beta=91.683(2) degrees for RE=Eu. The refinement [I>2 sigma(I)] converged to the final residuals R(1)/wR(2)=0.0229/0.0589, 0.0411/0.1114, and 0.0342/0.0786 for Yb(2)Ga(4)Ge(6), Yb(3)Ga(4)Ge(6), and Eu(3)Ga(4)Ge(6), respectively. The structures of these two families of compounds can be described by a Zintl concept of bonding, in which the three-dimensional [Ga(4)Ge(6)](n-) framework serves as a host and electron sink for the electropositive RE atoms. The structural relation of RE(3)Ga(4)Ge(6) to of Yb(2)Ga(4)Ge(6) lies in a monoclinic distortion of the orthorhombic cell of Yb(2)Ga(4)Ge(6) and reduction of the [Ga(4)Ge(6)] network by two electrons per formula unit. The results of theoretical calculations of the electronic structure, electrical transport data, and thermochemical and magnetic measurements are also reported.     

NaAuGe,ein weiteres ternäres Aurid mit ethan-analogen Ge2Au6-Baueinheiten

NaAuGe, a Further Ternary Auride with Ethane Analogous Ge₂Au₆ Building Units Black, brittle single crystals of NaAuGe were obtained by the reaction of NaN₃, gold sponge and germanium at 800°C. The structure was determined from X-ray single-crystal diffractometry data: space group Imm2, Z = 4, a = 4.422(1) Å, b = 7.238(2) Å, c = 7.531(2) Å, R1/wR2 = 0.0195/0.0482, N(F) ≥ 2σ(F) = 811 and N(var.) = 21. NaAuGe crystallizes in a new ternary variant of the KHg₂ (CeCu₂)structure type. Gold and germanium form puckered [AuGe_3/3] layers with trigonal planar coordinated gold. The [AuGe_3/3] nets are connected to a framework structure via Ge—Ge contacts along [010] which consist of ethane analogous Ge₂Au₆ building units. The sodium atoms are placed in channels of the Au—Ge framework structure which run along [100] and [010].     

Quaternary tellurides with different valent Ge centers: Cs2Ge3M6Te14 (M = Ga, In)

New quaternary tellurides, Cs(2)Ge(3)M(6)Te(14) (M = Ga, In), were discovered by solid-state reactions. These compounds crystallize in space group P3ml (No. 164), with a = b = 8.2475(2) ?, c = 14.2734(8) ?, and V = 840.82(6) ?(3) (Z = 1) for Cs(2)Ge(3)Ga(6)Te(14) (1) and a = b = 8.5404(2) ?, c = 14.6766(8) ?, and V = 927.07(6) ?(3) (Z = 1) for Cs(2)Ge(3)In(6)Te(14) (2). The remarkable structural feature is the novel three-dimensional [Ge(3)M(6)Te(14)](2-) anionic framework made by condensed In(6)Te(14) (or Ga(6)Te(14)) layers that are connected alternately by dimeric Ge(3+)(2)Te(6) units and Ge(2+)Te(6) octahedra along the c direction. The presence of Ge centers with different oxidation states is also supported by the results of the electron localization function calculation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement.

Tb4FeGe8 grown in liquid gallium: trans-cis chains from the distortion of a planar Ge square net

The ternary germanide Tb4FeGe8 was obtained from Ga flux reactions. The crystal structure studied with single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the existence of an orthorhombic average substructure (Cmcm, Z=1) with cell parameters a = 4.1118(14) A, b=15.844(5) A, and c=3.9885(15) A. The refinement [I > 2sigma(I)] converged to final residuals R1/wR2 = 0.0363/0.0893. The average structure (CeNiSi2-type) consists of a 3D [Fe1/4Ge2] framework where Ge atoms form a square net and Fe atoms reside alternatively above and below it with only 1/4 occupation probability. X-ray and electron diffraction studies showed a modulation in the Ge net. The modulated structure was refined based on a 4-fold monoclinic supercell (P2(1)/n) with parameters a = 5.7315(11) A, b = 15.842(3) A, c = 11.438(2) A, and beta = 91.724(4) degrees with R1/wR2 = 0.0643/0.1735 and uncovered a severe distortion of the Ge square net. The Ge atoms are displaced to form an array of cis-trans chains. The Ge-Ge distances within these chains are distinctively bonding, whereas those between the chains are nonbonding. Results of the electronic structure calculations and magnetic measurements are also reported. The structural distortions found in Tb4FeGe8 cast a doubt onto the correctness of many of the reported REM1-xGe2 disordered compounds and call for reinvestigation.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of (Pentafluorophenyl)platinate(II) Complexes with Bridging 1,8-Naphthyridine (napy) and X Ligands (X = C(6)F(5), OH, Cl, Br, I, SPh). Crystal Structure of [NBu(4)][Pt(2)(&mgr;-napy)(&mgr;-OH)(C(6)F(5))(4)].CHCl(3)

By reaction of [NBu(4)](2)[Pt(2)(&mgr;-C(6)F(5))(2)(C(6)F(5))(4)] with 1,8-naphthyridine (napy), [NBu(4)][Pt(C(6)F(5))(3)(napy)] (1) is obtained. This compound reacts with cis-[Pt(C(6)F(5))(2)(THF)(2)] to give the dinuclear derivative [NBu(4)][Pt(2)(&mgr;-napy)(&mgr;-C(6)F(5))(C(6)F(5))(4)] (2). The reaction of several HX species with 2 results in the substitution of the bridging C(6)F(5) by other ligands (X) such as OH (3), Cl (4), Br (5), I (6), and SPh (7), maintaining in all cases the naphthyridine bridging ligand. The structure of 3 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 12.022(2) ?, b = 16.677(3) ?, c = 27.154(5) ?, beta = 98.58(3) degrees, V = 5383.2(16) ?(3), and Z = 4. The structure was refined to residuals of R = 0.0488 and R(w) = 0.0547. The complex consists of two square-planar platinum(II) fragments sharing a naphthyridine and OH bridging ligands, which are in cis positions. The short Pt-Pt distance [3.008(1) ?] seems to be a consequence of the bridging ligands.     

Syntheses, crystal structures, and physical properties of La5Cu6O4S7 and La5Cu6.33O4S7

Single crystal and bulk powder samples of the quaternary lanthanum copper oxysulfides La5Cu6.33O4S7 and La5Cu6O4S7 have been prepared by means of high-temperature sealed-tube reactions and spark plasma sintering, respectively. In the structure of La 5Cu6.33O4S7, Cu atoms tie together the fluorite-like (2)infinity[La5O4S(5+)] and antifluorite-like (2) infinity[Cu6S6(5-)] layers of La5Cu6O4S7. The optical band gap, E g, of 2.0 eV was deduced from both diffuse reflectance spectra on a bulk sample of La5Cu6O4S7 and for the (010) crystal face of a La 5Cu6.33O4S7 single crystal. Transport measurements at 298 K on a bulk sample of La 5Cu 6O 4S 7 indicated p-type metallic electrical conduction with sigma electrical =2.18 S cm(-1), whereas measurements on a La 5Cu6.33O4S7 single crystal led to sigma electrical =4.5 10(-3) S cm(-1) along [100] and to semiconducting behavior. In going from La 5Cu6O4S7 to La5Cu6.33O4S7, the disruption of the (2)infinity[Cu6S6(5-)] layer and the decrease in the overall Cu(2+)(3d(9)) concentration lead to a significant decrease in the electrical conductivity.
