Kristallstrukturen und thermisches Verhalten von Metalldihydrogenphosphat‐HF‐Addukten MH2PO4 · HF (M = K,Rb, Cs) mit Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen vom Typ F–H…O

Structures and Thermal Behaviour of Alkali Metal Dihydrogen Phosphate HF Adducts, MH₂PO₄ · HF (M = K, Rb, Cs), with Hydrogen Bonds of the F–H…O Type Three HF adducts of alkali metal dihydrogen phosphates, MH₂PO₄ · HF (M = K, Rb, Cs), have been isolated from fluoroacidic solutions of MH₂PO₄. KH₂PO₄ · HF crystallizes monoclinic: P2₁/c, a = 6,459(2), b = 7,572(2), c = 9,457(3) Å, β = 101,35(3)°, V = 453,5(3) ų, Z = 4. RbH₂PO₄ · HF and CsH₂PO₄ · HF are orthorhombic: Pna2₁, a = 9,055(3), b = 4,635(2), c = 11,908(4) Å, V = 499,8(3) ų, Z = 4, and Pbca, a = 7,859(3), b = 9,519(4), c = 14,744(5) Å, V = 1102,5(7) ų, Z = 8, respectively. The crystal structures of MH₂PO₄ · HF contain M⁺ cations, H₂PO₄^– anions and neutral HF molecules. The H₂PO₄^– anions are connected to layers by O–H…O hydrogen bonds (2,53–2,63 Å), whereas the HF molecules are attached to the layers via very short hydrogen bonds of the F‐H…O type (2,36–2,38 Å). The thermal decomposition of the adducts proceeds in three steps. The first step corresponds to the release of mainly HF and a smaller quantity of water. In the second and third steps, water evolution caused by condensation of dihydrogen phosphate is the dominating process whereas smaller amounts of HF are also released.

Abstract

Chemical preparations, crystal structures, thermal analyses, and IR spectroscopic studies are given for two new hydrogen phosphates templated by 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine: (C₉H₂₂N₂)₂·(H₂PO₄)·(HPO₄)·(F)·H₂O (I) and (C₉H₂₂N₂)·(H₂PO₄)₂(II). The structures are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the P2₁/c (N°14) monoclinic space group with the unit cell parameters: a = 14.856 (1) Å, b = 14.092 (2) Å, c = 14.7166 (9) Å, β = 118.434 (7)°, V = 2709.2 (4) Å ³, and Z = 4 for (I) and a = 9.803 (2) Å, c = 0.466 (2) Å, c = 15.640 (8) Å, β = 94.990 (4), V = 1598.68 (7) ų, and Z = 4 for (II).

The structure of I, refined to R = 0.042 and R_w = 0.067 for 6009 reflections (I ≥ 2σ (I)), exhibits infinite inorganic chains _∞((H₂PO₄)·(HPO₄)·(F)·H₂O)^4? linked together through weak hydrogen bonds to form layers onto which the diprotonated [C₉H₂₂N₂]^{2 +} amine molecules are anchored.

The structure of II, refined to R = 0.060 and R_w = 0.086 for 1435 reflections (I ≥ 2σ (I)), consists of _∞(H₂PO₄)^? (100) layers between which [C₉H₂₂N₂]²⁺ cations are inserted. A network of hydrogen bonds connects the different components. IR spectra of I and II show the characteristic bands of amine groups and phosphate anions.

Preparation,Single Crystal Structure Analysis,and Thermal Behaviour of the Acidic Mercury(I) Phosphate (Hg2)2(H2PO4)(PO4)

Yellowish single crystals of acidic mercury(I) phosphate (Hg₂)₂(H₂PO₄)(PO₄) were obtained at 200 °C under hydrothermal conditions in 32% HF from a starting complex of microcrystalline (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇. Refinement of single crystal data converged at a conventional residual R[F² > 2σ(F²)] = 3.8% (C2/c, Z = 8, a = 9.597(2) Å, b = 12.673(2) Å, c = 7.976(1) Å, β = 110.91(1)°, V = 906.2(2) ų, 1426 independent reflections > 2σ out of 4147 reflections, 66 variables). The crystal structure consists of Hg₂²⁺‐dumbbells and discrete phosphate groups H₂PO₄^– and PO₄^3–. The Hg₂²⁺ pairs are built of two crystallographically independent Hg atoms with a distance d(Hg1–Hg2) = 2.5240(6) Å. The oxygen coordination sphere around the mercury atoms is asymmetric with three O atoms for Hg1 and four O atoms for Hg2. The oxygen atoms belong to the different PO₄ tetrahedra, which in case of H₂PO₄‐groups are connected by hydrogen bonding. Upon heating over 230 °C, (Hg₂)₂(H₂PO₄)(PO₄) condenses to (Hg₂)₂P₂O₇, which in turn disproportionates at higher temperatures into Hg₂P₂O₇ and elemental mercury.

BiHNH₄P₃O₁₀ is triclinic, P1 , with a = 7.032(8), b = 7.696(4), c = 8.659(3) Å, α = 106.20(4), β = 105.86(4), γ = 82.78(4)°, Z = 2, V = 432.3 ų, Dx = 3.694. BiNH₄(PO₃)₄ is monoclinic, P2₁/n, with a = 10.925(9), b = 9.034(8), c = 10.438(9) Å, β = 106.18(4), Z = 4, V = 989.4 ų, Dx = 3.644. The crystal structure of BiHNH₄P₃O₁₀ has been solved by using 4253 independent reflexíons with a final R value of 0.056. The unit cell contains two P₃O₁₀^5? groups related by an inversion center while bismuth atoms in a eightfold coordination build infinite chains of edge-sharing BiO₈ polyhedra running parallel to the a axis. The crystal structure of BiNH₄(PO₃)₄ has been solved using 4330 independent reflexions with a final R value of 0.047. Infinite (PO₃)_∞ chains spread along the [101] direction, alternating with isolated BiO₈ polyhedra.     

Zinc and Cobalt Complexes Derived from Tetradentate Tripodal Ligands with N2O2 Donorset as Model Compounds for Phosphatases

Starting from the tripodal tetradentate ligands ‐(3,5‐dibromo‐2‐hydroxybenzyl)(2‐hydroxybenzyl)(2‐pyridyl)methylamine (H₂L1), (3,5‐dibromo‐2‐hydroxybenzyl)(2‐hydroxy‐5‐nitrobenzyl)(2‐pyridyl)methylamine (H₂L2), and (3,5‐dichloro2‐hydroxybenzyl)(2‐hydroxy‐5‐nitrobenzyl)(2‐pyridyl)methylamine (H₂L3) the new isostructural dinuclear zinc compounds [Zn₂(L1)₂]·N(CH₂CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), [Zn₂(L2)₂]·2CH₃OH ( 2 ) and [Zn₂(L3)₂]·C₄H₁₀O ( 3 ) were synthesized. Due to their enzyme‐like trigonal bipyramidal N₂O₃ coordination environment of the zinc ions and the similar Zn···Zn distances the complexes can be considered to be structural models for the active sites in phospholipase C and nuclease P1. With H₂L3 also the dinuclear complex [Co₂(L2)₂(CH₃OH)]·2CH₃OH·0.5C₄H₁₀O ( 4 ) could be prepared. The new compounds were isolated and characterized by single crystal X‐ray crystallography as well as infrared spectroscopy. The cobalt compound 4 was additionally characterized by UV‐Vis spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.2814(2), b = 28.6154(2), c = 13.1866(3) Å, β = 96.995(1)°, V = 4225.2(2) ų, Z = 4. 2 and 3 are monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 23.084(5), b = 9.232(2), c = 21.849(4) Å, &β; = 96.83(3)°, V = 4623(2) ų, Z = 4, and a = 22.7834(3), b = 9.2463(1), c = 21.6351(3) Å, &β; = 97.592(1)°, V = 4517.7(2) ų, Z = 4, respectively. 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a with a = 22.4680(4), b = 20.5517(4), c = 22.8910(6) Å, &β; = 111.938(1)°, V = 9804.7(4) ų, Z = 8. 4 shows an effective magnetic moment of 6.72 μ_B at 300 K which clearly indicates the presence of two cobalt(II) high spin ions with Curie‐Weiss behaviour above 80 K. At lower temperatures a decrease of the effective magnetic moment was observed.

CuSeTeCl, CuSeTeBr, and CuSeTeI: Compounds with ordered [SeTe] Screws The hitherto unknown copper(I) chalcogen halides CuSeTeCl, CuSeTeBr and CuSeTeI have been prepared and their crystal structures were determined. The compounds of general composition CuSeTeX crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n (No. 14), Z = 4, a = 7.9796(9), b = 4.7645(8), c = 10.843(3) Å, β = 104.12(1)°, V = 399.8(1) ų (X = Cl), a = 8.155(3), b = 4.765(2), c = 11.286(4) Å, β = 104.21(3)°, V = 425.1(3) ų (X = Br) and a = 8.4370(9) b = 4.7652(5), c = 11.996(2) Å, β = 103.178(9)°, V = 469.6(1) ų (X = I). The crystal structures show infinite onedimensional screws YY′ of chalcogen atoms, with Y = Se and Y′ = Te alternately. The coordinations of Se and Te in these compounds are quite different.     

Syntheses,Structures and Magnetic Properties of Three New Extended Iron‐containing Heteropolytungstates

Three new extended iron‐containing heteropolytungstates were synthesized and structurally characterized: K₆[{Fe^II(H₂O)₄}₂(H₂W₁₂O₄₂)]·15H₂O ( 1 ), Na₅[{Fe(H₂O)₃}₂{Fe(H₂O)₄}_0.5(H₂W₁₂O₄₂)]·30H₂O ( 2 ) and (H₃O)⁺₂[{Fe(H₂O)₄Fe(H₂O)₃}₂(H₂W₁₂O₄₂)]·20H₂O ( 3 ). 1 and 3 crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n with a = 14.9967(5), b = 10.3872(3), c = 18.8237(6)Å, β = 93.407(1)°, V = 2927.1(2)ų and D_c = 4.151 g cm^—3 for 1 , and space group P2₁/c with a = 12.1794(4), b = 22.4938(4), c = 11.6941(3) Å, β = 105.731(2)°, V = 3083.7(1) ų, and D_c = 4.043 g cm^—3 for 3 . 2 is triclinic, space group P1¯, with a = 12.121(2), b = 12.426(3), c = 13.247(3)Å, α = 68.33(3), β = 71.33(3), γ = 71.44(3)°, V = 1710.7(6)ų and D_c = 3.735 g cm^—3. In all cases, the structures are based on paradodecatungstate polyoxoanions, which are linked by iron ions into chains, layers and a three‐dimensional structure for 1 , 2 and 3 , respectively.     

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermischer Abbau von Fluoroaluminaten der Zusammensetzung (NH4)[M(H2O)6][AlF6] (M = Zn,Ni), [Zn(H2O)6][AlF5(H2O)] und (PyH)4[Al2F10] · 4 H2O

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermal Behaviour of Fluoroaluminates of the Composition (NH₄)[M(H₂O)₆](AlF₆) (M = Zn, Ni), [Zn(H₂O)₆][AlF₅(H₂O)], and (PyH)₄[Al₂F₁₀] · 4 H₂O Four new fluoroaluminates were obtained from fluoroacidic solutions of respective metal salts. The compounds of zinc ( I a : P2₁/c, a = 12.688(3), b = 6.554(1), c = 12.697(3) Å, β = 95.21(3)°, V = 1051.5(4) ų, Z = 4) and nickel ( I b : P2₁/c, a = 12.685(3), b = 6.517(1), c = 12.664(2)Å, β = 94.55(2)°, V = 1043.6(4) ų, Z = 4) are isotypic and represent a new structure type consisting of two different cations, NH₄⁺ and [M(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [AlF₆]^3–‐anions. [Zn(H₂O)₆][AlF₅(H₂O)] ( II : C2/m, a = 10.769(2), b = 13.747(3), c = 6.487(1)Å, β = 100.02(3)°, V = 945.7(3) ų, Z = 4) is characterized by a H₂O/F‐disorder in the [AlF₅(H₂O)]‐octahedra in two trans positions. In (PyH)₄[Al₂F₁₀] · 4 H₂O ( III : Cmc2₁, a = 15.035(3), b = 20.098(4), c = 12.750(4) Å, V = 5364(2) ų, Z = 8), bioctahedral [Al₂F₁₀]^4– anions have been found for the first time. The structures are described and discussed in comparison. The new compounds were used as precursors in order to obtain new AlF₃‐phases. However, the thermal decomposition did not result in the formation of any new metastable AlF₃‐phase. Instead, phase mixtures of either α‐AlF₃ and β‐AlF₃ or AlF₃ and MF₂ were obtained.     

Struktur und 1D‐magnetische Eigenschaften von (pipzH2)[MnF4(H2PO4)]

Structure and 1D‐magnetic properties of (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] From hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III), using piperazinium(2+) counter cations (pipzH₂²⁺) the chain‐anion [MnF₄(H₂PO₄)]^2— can be stabilized providing an interesting model system for studying the magnetic exchange interaction via phosphate bridges. Depending on the HF/H₃PO₄ excess (pipzH₂)[MnF₄(H₂PO₄)] crystallizes in two polymorphs I und II , differing mainly in the orientation of the cations. Form I is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.749(1), b = 12.039(1), c = 12.501(1) Å, β = 94.420(4)°, R = 0.023, Form II crystallizes in the same space group type P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 6.651(1), b = 12.799(1), c = 12.825(1) Å, β = 110.312(5)°, R = 0.037. The Mn³⁺ ions are octahedrally surrounded by four terminal fluoride ligands and axially by bidentate bridging dihydrogenphosphate groups. The shape of the chain anions is very close in both modifications and characteristic for ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller ordering.The Mn—O‐bonds along the chain direction are strongly elongated (distances 2.16 to 2.21 Å) whereas all Mn—F bond (1.81—1.88Å) are ruther short. On a large single crystal of form I 1D‐antiferromagnetic properties were found. By fitting an appropriate model based on the temperature dependence of the correlation lengths using an anisotropy constant D/k = —2.9 K a remarkably high exchange energy of J/k = —1.6(1) K along the chains could be determined.     

Four New Thioantimonates(III) with the General Formula [TM(tren)]Sb4S7 (TM = Mn,Fe, Co,Zn) with the Transition Metal as Part of a Thioantimonate(III) Network Synthesized under Solvothermal Conditions and Tuning of the Optical Band Gap by the Transition Metal Cation

Four new thioantimonate(III) compounds with the general formula [TM(tren)]Sb₄S₇, TM = Mn 1 , Fe 2 , Co 3 and Zn 4 , were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental TM, Sb and S in an aqueous solution of tren (tren = tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine). All compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with four formula units in the unit cell. Single crystal X‐ray analyses of 1 [a = 8.008(2), b = 10.626(2), c = 25.991(5) Å, β = 90.71(3)°, V = 2211.4(8) ų], 2 [a = 8.0030(2), b = 10.5619(2), c = 25.955(5) Å, β = 90.809(3)°, V = 2193.69(8) ų], 3 [a = 7.962(2), b = 10.541(2), c = 25.897(5) Å, β = 90.90(3)°, V = 2173.0(8) ų] and 4 [a = 7.978(2), b = 10.625(2), c = 25.901(5) Å, β = 90.75(3)°, V = 2195.2(8) ų] reveal that the compounds are isostructural. The [Sb₄S₇]^2‐ anions are composed of three SbS₃ trigonal pyramids and one SbS₄ unit as primary building units (PBU). The PBUs share common edges and corners to form semicubes (Sb₃S₄) which may be regarded as secondary building units (SBU). The SBUs and SbS₃ pyramids are joined in an alternating fashion yielding the equation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif[Sb₄S₇^‐] anionic chain which is directed along [100]. Weaker Sb‐S bonding interactions between neighbored chains lead to the formation of layers within the (001) plane which contain pockets that are occupied by the cations. The TM²⁺ ions are in a trigonal bipyramidal environment of four N atoms of the tren ligand and one S atom of the thioantimonate(III) anion. The optical band gaps depend on the TM²⁺ ion and amount to 3.11 eV for 1 , 2.04 eV for 2 , 2.45 eV for 3 , and 2.60 eV for 4 .
