The structure consists of [SrX₂ = H₂O]_n-layers normal to [100] and Sr? H₂O? Sr? H₂O-chains parallel [010]. The Sr? O distances are 265.1(3) pm, SrCl₂ · 1 H₂O, and 265.9(4) pm, SrBr₂ · 1 H₂O. The shortest Sr? Cl and Sr? Br distances (298.9(1) and 315.3(1) pm) are within the layers. The environment of oxygen and strontium is a distorted tricapped trigonal prism.

Zur Kenntnis der Hydrate M(HSeO3)2 · 4H2O (M = Mg,Co, Ni,Zn). Röntgenstrukturanalytische,schwingungsspektroskopische und thermoanalytische Untersuchungen

On the Hydrates M(HSeO₃)₂ · 4H₂O (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Zn) – Crystal Structures, IR, Raman, and Thermoanalytical Investigations From aqueous solutions of M(HSeO₃)₂ single crystals of Mg(HSeO₃)₂ · 4H₂O and of the hitherto unknown compounds Co(HSeO₃)₂ · 4H₂O, Ni(HSeO₃)₂ · 4H₂O and Zn(HSeO₃)₂ · 4H₂O could be obtained. The crystal structures, X-ray powder, IR, Raman and thermoanalytical (DTA, TG, Raman heating) data are presented and discussed. The crystal data of the isotypic compounds are: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, Mg: a = 1 464.6(2), b = 755.3(1), c = 1 099.9(1) pm, β = 126.59(1)°, V = 0.9769(1) nm³, Co: a = 1 462.5(2), b = 756.5(2), c = 1 102.2(2) pm, β = 126.53(1)°, V = 0.9798(2) nm³, Ni: a = 1 452.2(2), b = 751.0(1), c = 1 091.5(1) pm, β = 126.28(1)°, V = 0.9595(1) nm³, Zn: a = 1 468.3(2), b = 755.8(1), c = 1 103.1(1) pm, β = 126.79(1)°, V = 0.9804(2) nm³. The crystal structures consist of hexagonal packed [M(HSeO₃)₂ · 2H₂O]_n chains of [MO₄(H₂O)₂] octahedra linked by Se atoms. They contain trigonal pyramidal SeO₂OH^?ions with “free” hydroxyl groups and also “free” molecules of water of crystallization. The hydroxyl groups build strong H-bonds (O? H …? O distances: 265–268 pm). The IR spectra show AB doublett bands in the OH stretching mode region of the hydroxyl groups. The water molecules of crystallization are linked to planar (H₂O)₄ tetramers by H-bonds with unusually short O? H …? O bond distances of 271–273 pm. DTA and TG measurements indicate that thermal decomposition results in the direct formation of the respective diselenite MSe₂O₅. Raman heating measurements show under quasi static conditions the intermediate formation of the anhydrous hydrogen selenites.

In the complexes 3a and 4, the 0-ligands are bonded to the Hg atoms perpendicularly to the N? Hg? N axes, leading in 3a to a square-planar trans-(N₂O₂) coordination with Hg? 0 261.2(2) pm and N? Hg?

In all three structures, the primary coordination is extended to a severely distorted (N₂O₄) hexacoordination by the appropriate number of secondary, inter- and/or intramolecular Hg…?0 inter-actions (0 atoms from sulfonyl groups, Hg…?O distances in the range 280—300pm). The intramolecular Hg…?O interactions give rise to nearly planar four-membered [HgNSO] rings. The molecule of 1 has a two-fold axis through the bisector of the N? Hg? N angle, the molecule of 3a an inversion center at the Hg atom. The molecule of 4 has no symmetry.

The structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 273 K, and refined to a final R value of 0.0272 for 4372 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The magnesium ions are coordinated to six different H₂O molecules forming a slightly distorted octahedron with Mg? O distances varying between 202.2(2) and 211.6(3) pm. The hexaaquamagnesium ions are arranged parallel to (010). The two kinds of iodate ions and the four different “free” water molecules are filled between the layers thus formed. There are twenty independent hydrogen bonds with O … O distances from 268.7(3) to 287.6(4) pm. On the basis of all intermolecular I … I distances of iodates reported in the literature, 180 pm are recommended as van-der-Waals radius resp. lonepair radius of iodine(V). DSC and Raman spectroscopic experiments as well as high-temperature Raman and X-ray measurements were performed and are discussed with respect to the energetic and geometric distortion of the IO₃^? ions and the dehydration of the decahydrate via the tetrahydrate (308 K) to Mg(IO₃)₂ (428 K).

M(H₂O)₂(4,4′‐bipy)[C₆H₄(COO)₂]·2H₂O (M = Mn²⁺, Co²⁺) – Two Isotypic Coordination Polymers with Layered Structure Monoclinic single crystals of Mn(H₂O)₂(4,4′‐bipy)[C₆H₄(COO)₂]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and Co(H₂O)₂(4,4′‐bipy)[C₆H₄(COO)₂]· 2H₂O ( 2 ) have been prepared in aqueous solution at 80 °C. Space group P2/n (no. 13), Z = 2; 1 : a = 769.20(10), b = 1158.80(10), c = 1075.00(10) pm, β = 92.67(2)°, V = 0.9572(2) nm³; 2 : a = 761.18(9), b = 1135.69(9), c = 1080.89(9) pm, β = 92.276(7)°, V = 0.9337(2) nm³. M²⁺ (M = Mn, Co), which is situated on a twofold crystallographic axis, is coordinated in a moderately distorted octahedral fashion by two water molecules, two oxygen atoms of the phthalate anions and two nitrogen atoms of 4,4′‐biypyridine ( 1 : M–O 219.5(2), 220.1(2) pm, M–N 225.3(2), 227.2(2) pm; 2 : Co–O 212.7(2), 213.7(2) pm, Co–N 213.5(3), 214.9(3) pm). M²⁺ and [C₆H₄(COO)₂)]^2? build up chains, which are linked by 4,4′‐biyridine molecules to yield a two‐dimensional coordination polymer with layers parallel to (001).Thermogravimetric analysis in air of 1 indicated a loss of water of crystallization between 154 and 212 °C and in 2 between 169 and 222 °C.

Transition Metal Peroxofluoro Complexes. III. Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Vibrational Spectra of K₆Ta₃(O₂)₃OF₁₃ · H₂O Containing a m?-Oxo-diperoxo-octafluoroditantalate(V) Anion K₆Ta₃(O₂)₃OF₁₃ · H₂O has been prepared from solution and his crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal investigation: Space group Pnma, lattice constants a = 1 653.6 pm, b = 883.5 pm, c = 1 365.8 pm, Z = 4, R = 0.033. The compound yields [Ta(O₂)F₅]^2? groups as well as m?-oxo-bridged [Ta₂O(O₂)₂F₈]^4? anions with very diffrent O? O distances within the peroxo groups (139 pm vs. 164 and 175 pm) correlating well with the i.r. and Raman spectra. The different bonding in connection with an oxo-bridge is discussed.

NH4[Re3Cl10(OH2)2] · 2 H2O: Synthese und Struktur Ein Beispiel für starke N?H …︁ O- und O?H …︁ Cl-Bindungen

NH₄[Re₃Cl₁₀(OH₂)₂] · 2 H₂O: Synthesis and Structure. An Example for “Strong” N? H …? O and O? H …? Cl Hydrogen Bonding The red NH₄[Re₃Cl₁₀(OH₂)₂] · 2 H₂O crystallizes from hydrochloric-acid solutions of ReCl₃ with NH₄Cl. It is tetragonal, P4₁2₁2, No. 92, a = 1157.6, c = 1614.5 pm, Z = 4. The crystal structure contains “isolated” clusters [Re₃Cl₁₀(OH₂)₂]^?. These contain Cl…?H? O? H…?Cl units with “very strong” hydrogen bonds: distances Cl? O are only 286 pm. NH₄⁺ has seven Cl^? as nearest neighbours and, additionally, one H₂O which belongs to a cluster [d(N? O1) = 271 pm] and one crystal water [d(N? O2) = 286 pm].     

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermischer Abbau von Mg(H2O)6[B12H12] · 6 H2O

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Decomposition of Mg(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] · 6 H₂O By reaction of an aqueous solution of the free acid (H₃O)₂[B₁₂H₁₂] with MgCO₃ and subsequent isothermic evaporation of the resulting solution to dryness, colourless, bead‐shaped single crystals of the dodecahydrate of magnesium dodecahydro closo‐dodecaborate Mg(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] · 6 H₂O (cubic, F4₁32; a = 1643.21(9) pm, Z = 8) emerge. The crystal structure is best described as a NaTl‐type arrangement in which the centers of gravity of the quasi‐icosahedral [B₁₂H₁₂]^2— anions (d(B—B) = 178—180 pm, d(B—H) = 109 pm) occupy the positions of Tl^— while the Mg²⁺ cations occupy the Na⁺ positions. A direct coordinative influence of the [B₁₂H₁₂]^2— units at the Mg²⁺ cations is however not noticeable. The latter are octahedrally coordinated by six water molecules forming isolated hexaaqua complex cations [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺ (d(Mg—O) = 206 pm, 6×). In addition, six “zeolitic” water molecules are located in the crystal structure for the formation of a strong O—H^δ+···^δ—O‐hydrogen bridge‐bonding system. The evidence of weak B—H^δ—···^δ+H—O‐hydrogen bonds between water molecules and anionic [B₁₂H₁₂]^2— clusters is also considered. Investigations on the dodecahydrate Mg[B₁₂H₁₂] · 12 H₂O (≡ Mg(H₂O)₆[B₁₂H₁₂] · 6 H₂O) by DTA/TG measurements showed that its dehydration takes place in two steps within a temperature range of 71 and 76 °C as well as at 202 °C, respectively. Thermal treatment eventually leads to the anhydrous magnesium dodecahydro closo‐dodecaborate Mg[B₁₂H₁₂].
