CoSm(SeO₃)₂Cl, CuGd(SeO₃)₂Cl, MnSm(SeO₃)₂Cl, CuGd₂(SeO₃)₄ and CuSm₂(SeO₃)₄: Transition Metal containing Selenites of Samarium and Gadolinum The reaction of CoCl₂, Sm₂O₃, and SeO₂ in evacuated silica ampoules lead to blue single crystals of CoSm(SeO₃)₂Cl (triclinic, , Z = 4, a = 712.3(1), b = 889.5(2), c = 1216.2(2) pm, α = 72.25(1)°, β = 71.27(1)°, γ = 72.08(1)°, R_all = 0.0586). If MnCl₂ is used in the reaction light pink single crystals of MnSm(SeO₃)₂Cl (triclinic, , Z = 2, a = 700.8(2), b = 724.1(2), c = 803.4(2) pm, α = 86.90(3)°, β = 71.57(3)°, γ = 64.33(3)°, R_all = 0.0875) are obtained.

CoSm(SeO₃)₂Cl contains [CoO₄Cl₂] octahedra, which are connected via one edge and one vertex to infinite chains. The Mn²⁺ ions in MnSm(SeO₃)₂Cl are also octahedrally coordinated by four oxygen and two chlorine ligands. The linkage of the polyhedra to chains occurs exclusively via edges. Both, the cobalt and the manganese compound show the Sm³⁺ ions in eight and ninefold coordination of oxygen atoms and chloride ions. In CuGd(SeO₃)₂Cl the Cu²⁺ ions are coordinated by three oxygen atoms and one Cl^— ion in a distorted square planar manner. One further Cl^— and one further oxygen ligand complete the [CuO₃Cl] units yielding significantly elongated octahedra. The latter are again connected to chains via two common edges. For the Gd³⁺ ions coordination numbers of ?8 + 1”? and nine were found. Single crystals of the deep blue selenites CuM₂(SeO₃)₄ (M = Sm/Gd, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 1050.4(3)/1051.0(2), b = 696.6(2)/693.5(1), c = 822.5(2)/818.5(2) pm, β = 110.48(2)°/110.53(2)°, R_all = 0.0341/0.0531) can be obtained from reactions of the oxides Sm₂O₃ and Gd₂O₃, respectively, with CuO and SeO₂. The crystal structure contains square planar [CuO₄] groups and irregular [MO₉] polyhedra.
