They are isostructural with La₄Au₂O₉ (Nd₄Au₂O₉: a = 11.9813(3), b = 6.1474(1), c = 11.9641(4); 453 powder intensities, R_p = 3.75%; Sm₄Au₂O₉: a = 11.8689(4), b = 6.0360(1), c = 11.8469(4) Å; 812 unique reflections, R₁ = 2.75%; Eu₄Au₂O₉: a = 11.8241(3), b = 5.9922(1) Å, c = 11.8013(3) Å; 1315 unique reflections, R₁ = 7.83%). The crystal structure of Nd₄Au₂O₉ was refined from powder diffraction data. The structures of Sm₄Au₂O₉ and Eu₄Au₂O₉ were solved and refined from single crystal data. The isolated square planar AuO₄ units are stacked as columns and are linked to each other by LnO₇‐polyhedra. One of the oxygen atoms is exclusively connected to the trivalent lanthanides in tetrahedral geometry. Ln₄Au₂O₉, Bi₂CuO₄, Bi₂AuO₅ and Bi₄Au₂O₉ are closely related, structurally. The lanthanoid aurates decompose between 700 and 800 °C into Ln₂O₃, Au and O₂. The effective magnetic moments 3.64 μ_B (Nd₄Au₂O₉), 1.7 μ_B (Sm₄Au₂O₉) and 3.3 μ_B (Eu₄Au₂O₉) confirm that the lanthanides are trivalent. The UV/VIS absorption spectra can be interpreted at assuming free ions.

[Cd(H₂O)₃(C₅H₆O₄)]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and Cd(H₂O)₂(C₆H₈O₄) ( 2 ) were prepared from reactions of fresh CdCO₃ precipitate with aqueous solutions of glutaric acid and adipic acid, respectively, while Cd(H₂O)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄) ( 3 ) crystallized in a filtrate obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of CdCl₂·2.5H₂O, suberic acid and H₂O. Compound 1 consists of hydrogen bonded water molecules and linear {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} chains, which result from the pentagonal bipyramidally coordinated Cd atoms bridged by bis‐chelating glutarato ligands. In 2 and 3 , the six‐coordinate Cd atoms are bridged by bis‐chelating adipato and suberato ligands into zigzag chains according to {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} and {[Cd(H₂O)₂](C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2}, respectively. The hydrogen bonds between water and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are responsible for the supramolecular assemblies of the zigzag chains into 3D networks.

The isolated square planar AuO₄ units are stacked along the a‐axis and are linked by LnO₆‐ and LnO₆₊₁‐polyhedra. One of the oxygen atoms is exclusively coordinated by trivalent lanthanides, in tetrahedral geometry.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Hydrated Ternary Cerium Sulfates: Mixed‐valence K5Ce2(SO4)6·H2O and K2Ce(SO4)3·H2O

A new chemical and structural interpretation of K₅Ce₂(SO₄)₆·H₂O ( I ) and a redetermination of the structure of K₂Ce(SO₄)₃·H₂O ( II ) is presented. The mixed‐valent compound I crystallizes in the space group C2/c with a = 17.7321(3), b = 7.0599(1), c = 19.4628(4) Å, β = 112.373(1)° and Z = 4. Compound I has been discussed earlier with space group Cc. In the structure of I , there are pairs of edge sharing cerium polyhedra connected by sulfate oxygen atoms in the μ₃ bonding mode. These cerium dimers are linked through edge and corner sharing sulfate bridges, forming layers. The layers are joined by potassium ions which together with the water molecules are placed between the layers. No irregularity in the distribution of the Ce^III and Ce^IV to cause the lost of a crystallographic center of symmetry was detected. We suggest that the charge exerted by the extra f¹ electron for every cerium dimer is delocalized over the Ce1–O₂–Ce2 moiety in a non‐bonding mode. As a result, the oxidations state of each cerium ion is a mean value between III and IV at each atomic position. Compound II crystallizes in the space group C2 with a = 20.6149(2), b = 7.0742(1), c = 17.8570(1) Å, β = 122.720(1)° and Z = 8. The hydrogen atoms have been located and the absolute structure has been established. Neither hydrogen atom positions nor anisotropic displacement parameters were given in the previous reports. In compound II , the cerium polyhedra are connected by edge and corner sharing sulfate groups forming a three‐dimensional network. This network contains Z‐shaped channels hosting the charge compensating potassium ions.     

New Structure Type among Octahydrated Rare‐Earth Sulfates, β‐Ce2(SO4)3·8H2O,and a new Ce2(SO4)3·4H2O Polymorph

Syntheses, crystal structures and thermal behavior of two new hydrated cerium(III) sulfates are reported, Ce₂(SO₄)₃·4H₂O ( I ) and β‐Ce₂(SO₄)₃·8H₂O ( II ), both forming three‐dimensional networks. Compound I crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n. There are two non‐equivalent cerium atoms in the structure of I , one nine‐ and one ten‐fold coordinated to oxygen atoms. The cerium polyhedra are edge sharing, forming helically propagating chains, held together by sulfate groups. The structure is compact, all the sulfate groups are edge‐sharing with cerium polyhedra and one third of the oxygen atoms, belonging to sulfate groups, are in the S–Oμ₃–Ce₂ bonding mode. Compound II constitutes a new structure type among the octahydrated rare‐earth sulfates which belongs to the space group Pn. Each cerium atom is in contact with nine oxygen atoms, these belong to four water molecules, three corner sharing and one edge sharing sulfate groups. The crystal structure is built up by layers of [Ce(H₂O)₄(SO₄)]_nⁿ⁺ held together by doubly edge sharing sulfate groups. The dehydration of II is a three step process, forming Ce₂(SO₄)₃·5H₂O, Ce₂(SO₄)₃·4H₂O and Ce₂(SO₄)₃, respectively. During the oxidative decomposition of the anhydrous form, Ce₂(SO₄)₃, into the final product CeO₂, small amount of CeO(SO₄) as an intermediate species was detected.

Organic‐Inorganic Hybrids: Preparation and Structural Characterization of (Bu4N)2[Mo6O17(NAr)2] and (Bu4N)2[Mo6O18(NAr)] (Ar = o‐CH3C6H4)

In the presence of N, N′‐dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆O₁₈(NAr)] ( 1 ) and (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆O₁₇(NAr)₂] ( 2 ), Ar = o‐CH₃C₆H₄, have been synthesized via the reaction of [α‐Mo₈O₂₆]^4— with o‐toluidine. If the hydrochloride salt of o‐toluidine was added into the reactive mixture, only the monofunctionalized imido derivative of [Mo₆O₁₉]^2— was obtained; the bifunctionalized derivative of [Mo₆O₁₉]^2— was exclusively synthesized in the presence of non‐protonated o‐toluidine. The molecular and crystal structures of the hybrid compounds 1 and 2 were determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction, and their UV, IR and NMR spectra were compared. Additionally, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed.

Monodentate Coordination of 4,4′‐Bipyridine Leading to a Supramolecular Network – Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [H2bpp][{Cu(Hbpy)2}{α‐HP2W18O62}]·4H2O

The new supramolecular compound [H₂bpp][{Cu(Hbpy)₂}{α‐HP₂W₁₈O₆₂}]·4H₂O ( 1 ) (bpy = 4,4′‐bipyridine, bpp = 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane) was synthesized hydrothermally and characterized byelemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In compound 1 , the cationic fragment [Cu(Hbpy)₂]⁺ connects to the Dawson anion through a coordinating Cu←O bond, and the copper atom is coordinated by another polyoxoanion through a weak covalent bond with a Cu1–O26 distance of 2.879(2) Å, forming a polymeric chain. The bpy ligand in [Cu(Hbpy)₂]⁺ adopts a monodentate coordination mode, the other nitrogen atom of the bpy ligand is protonated. The protonated Hbpy⁺ acts as hydrogen‐bond donor and constructs a two‐dimensional double‐sheet supramolecular network involving the one‐dimensional chains through the hydrogen bonds. The H₂bpp²⁺ ion connects twoα‐HP₂W₁₈O₆₂^6– clusters from two supramolecular networks through hydrogen bonds and creates a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. The thermal decomposition of 1 happens over a wide temperature range (450–800 °C), which indicates that it might include complicated oxidation–reduction processes.
