Das erste Vanadium(III)‐Borophosphat: Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von CsV3(H2O)2[B2P4O16(OH)4]

The First Vanadium(III) Borophosphate: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] CsV₃(H₂O)₂[B₂P₄O₁₆(OH)₄] was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions (T = 165 °C) from mixtures of CsOH_(aq), VCl₃, H₃BO₃, and H₃PO₄ (molar ratio 1 : 1 : 1 : 2). The crystal structure was determined by X‐ray single crystal methods (monoclinic; space group C2/m, No. 12): a = 958.82(15) pm, b = 1840.8(4) pm, c = 503.49(3) pm; β = 110.675(4)°; Z = 2. The anionic partial structure contains oligomeric units [BP₂O₈(OH)₂]^5–, which are built up by a central BO₂(OH)₂ tetrahedron and two PO₄ tetrahedra sharing common corners. V^III is octahedrally coordinated by oxygen of adjacent phosphate tetrahedra and OH groups of borate tetrahedra as well as oxygen of phosphate tetrahedra and H₂O molecules, respectively (coordination octahedra VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂). The oxidation state +3 for vanadium was confirmed by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. The trimeric borophosphate groups are connected via vanadium centres to form layers with octahedra‐tetrahedra ring systems, which are likewise linked via V^III‐coordination octahedra. Overall, a three‐dimensional framework constructed from VO₄(OH)₂ and VO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra as well as BO₂(OH)₂ and PO₄ tetrahedra results. The structure contains channels running along [001], which are occupied by Cs⁺ in a distorted octahedral coordination (CsO₄(H₂O)₂).     

FeII2(PO4)(OH), a synthetic analogue of wolfeite

This paper reports the hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure refinement of diiron(II) phosphate hydroxide, Fe^II₂(PO₄)(OH), obtained at 1063 K and 2.5 GPa. This phosphate is the synthetic analogue of the mineral wolfeite, and has a crystal structure topologically identical to those of minerals of the triplite–triploidite group. The complex framework contains edge‐ and corner‐sharing FeO₄(OH) and FeO₄(OH)₂ polyhedra, linked via corner‐sharing to the PO₄ tetrahedra (average P—O distances are between 1.537 and 1.544 Å). Four five‐coordinated Fe sites are at the centers of distorted trigonal bipyramids (average Fe—O distances are between 2.070 and 2.105 Å), whereas the coordination environments of the remaining Fe sites are distorted octahedra (average Fe—O distances are between 2.146 and 2.180 Å). The Fe—O distances are similar to those observed in natural Mg‐rich wolfeite, except for two Fe—O bond distances, which are significantly longer in synthetic Fe²⁺₂(PO₄)(OH).     

A hydrated ethyl­ene­di­ammonium salt of a new polymeric polyoxoanion: (H2en)4[Co(H2O)2(OH)2(VO)6(HPO4)4(PO4)4]·3H2O

The title compound, tetrakis­(ethyl­enedi­ammonium) tetra‐μ‐hydrogenphosphato‐di‐μ‐hydro­xo‐ tetra‐μ‐phosphato‐bis­(aqua­cobalt)­hexakis­(oxovanadium) trihydrate, was synthesized hydro­thermally at moderate temperature. The structure consists of diprotonated ethyl­enedi­ammonium cations and layers of the polyanions. The polyanion contains four PO₄ tetrahedra and three VO₅ square pyramids that are linked through corner‐sharing by alternating P—O—V, which gives rise to a chain. The chains, connected by CoO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra, form layers, resulting in a two‐dimensional layered structure. The Co—O distances are in the range 1.984 (3)–2.038 (4) Å, the P—O distances 1.508 (3)–1.575 (3) Å and the V—O distances 1.585 (3)–2.010 (3) Å.     

Isopropylammonium Layered Uranyl Chromates: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [(CH3)2CHNH3]3[(UO2)3(CrO4)2O(OH)3] and[(CH3)2CHNH3]2[(UO2)2(CrO4)3(H2O)]

Two novel isopropylamine‐templated uranyl chromates, [(CH₃)₂CHNH₃]₃[(UO₂)₃(CrO₄)₂O(OH)₃] ( 1 ) and [(CH₃)₂CHNH₃]₂[(UO₂)₂(CrO₄)₃(H₂O)] ( 2 ) were prepared by hydrothermal method at 100 °C. The compounds were characterized by electron microprobe analysis and X‐ray diffraction crystal structure analysis [ 1 : trigonal, P31m, a = 9.646(4), c = 8.469(4) Å, V = 682.4(5) ų; 2 : monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.309(3), b = 11.465(3), c = 17.055(5) Å, β = 99.150(6)°, V = 2183.2(11) ų]. The structure of 1 is based upon trimers of uranyl bipyramids interlinked by CrO₄ tetrahedra to form [(UO₂)₃(CrO₄)₂O(OH)₃]^3– layers, whereas, in the structure of 2 , UO₇ and UO₆(H₂O) pentagonal bipyramids are linked through CrO₄ tetrahedra into the [(UO₂)₂(CrO₄)₃(H₂O)]^2– layers. The structures show many similarities to related uranyl selenate compounds, thus providing additional data on similarities and differences between uranyl sulfates, chromates, selenates, and molybdates.     

Sodium magnesium bis(vanadate) pyrovanadate: Na6Mg2(VO4)2(V2O7)

The crystal structure of the new complex vanadium oxide Na₆Mg₂(VO₄)₂(V₂O₇) was solved from X‐ray single‐crystal data. The structure contains VO₄ tetrahedra and MgO₆ octahedra, linked by corners and forming a complex three‐dimensional framework. A half of the VO₄ tetrahedra are connected only to MgO₆ octahedra, whereas the others are corner‐sharing, forming V₂O₇ pyrovanadate groups with statistically random orientations. One unique Mg atom is located at an inversion centre, while the other Mg atom, one unique V atom and five unique O atoms lie on mirror planes.     

Syntheses,crystal structures and optical properties of two one‐dimensional germanophosphates: HRb3Ge2(HPO4)6 and CsGe(HPO4)2(OH)

Germanophosphates, as a young class of metal phosphates, have been less reported but might possess more diverse structural types and potential applications. Here, two one‐dimensional (1D) alkali‐metal germanophosphates (GePOs), namely, hydrogen hexakis(μ‐hydrogen phosphato)digermaniumtrirubidium, HRb₃Ge₂(HPO₄)₆ ( 1 ), and caesium bis(μ‐hydrogen phosphato)(μ‐hydroxido)germanium, CsGe(HPO₄)₂(OH) ( 2 ), have been prepared by the solvothermal method. Compound 1 shows 1D [Ge(HPO₄)₆]_∞ chains along the c axis formed by GeO₆ octahedra and PO₄ tetrahedra, with Rb⁺ cations dissociated between the chains. Compound 2 also exhibits 1D [Ge(HPO₄)₄(OH)₂]_∞ chains constructed from adjacent Ge(HPO₄)₄(OH)₂ octahedra, with Cs⁺ cations dissociated between the chains. XRD, TGA, IR and UV–Vis–NIR absorption spectra are presented and discussed for both compounds.

Within these tunnels, Na⁺ cations occupy a highly distorted cubic site.     

New structure type in the morphotropic series of A 2 + M 2 2+ (MoO4)3: crystal structure of Rb2Cu2(MoO4)3

Isostructural compounds A₂Cu₂(MoO₄)₃ (A = Rb, Cs) were synthesized.

The structure is characterized by pairs of infinite wolframite-like ribbons of CuO₍₄₊₂₎ octahedra stretching along [010] and additionally bridged by MoO₄ tetrahedra. The tetrahedra located between the ribbons weakly interact with each other at distances Mo-O of 2.545 and 2.853 å. There are four such quasione-dimensional copper-molybdenum-oxygen radicals per unit cell; the radicals are united into a single structure by rubidium ions having coordination numbers (CN) 9 and 10.

The tetramers are linked to each other via hydrogen bonds. Potassium is coordinated by 9 oxygen atoms which belong to both kinds of tetrahedra. These potassium oxygen polyhedra are connected by common faces forming chains running parallel z.

The title polymeric compound, [CuCl₂(C₅H₁₀N₄)₂]_n, is the first structurally characterized complex with a bulky 1‐alkyl­tetrazole ligand. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom is an elongated octahedron. The equatorial positions of the octahedron are occupied by the two Cl atoms, with Cu—Cl distances of 2.2920 (8) and 2.2796 (9) Å, and by the two N‐4 atoms of the tetrazole ligands, with Cu—N distances of 2.023 (2) and 2.039 (2) Å. Two symmetry‐related Cl atoms occupy the axial positions, at distances of 2.8244 (8) and 3.0174 (8) Å from the Cu atom. The [CuCl₂(C₅H₁₀N₄)₂] units form infinite chains extended along the b axis, linked together only by van der Waals interactions. The skeleton of each chain consists of Cu and Cl atoms.     

Magnetic properties of a new cobalt hydrogen vanadate with a dumortierite‐like structure: Co13.5(OH)6(H0.5VO3.5)2(VO4)6

The magnetic properties of a novel cobalt‐based hydrogen vanadate, Co_13.5(OH)₆(H_0.5VO_3.5)₂(VO₄)₆, are reported. This new magnetic material was synthesized in single‐crystal form using a conventional hydrothermal method. Its crystal structure was determined from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data and was also characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Its crystal framework has a dumortierite‐like structure consisting of large hexagonal and trigonal channels; the large hexagonal channels contain one‐dimensional chains of face‐sharing CoO₆ octahedra linked to the framework by rings of VO₄ tetrahedra, while the trigonal channels are occupied by chains of disordered V₂O₄ pyramidal groups. The magnetic properties of this material were investigated by DC magnetic measurements, which indicate the occurrence of antiferromagnetic interactions.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Brucite Type Copper Hydroxide Squarate [Cu3(OH)2(C4O4)]·4H2O

Herein we report synthesis of a new brucite type copper hydroxide squarate, Cu₃(OH)₂(C₄O₄)₂·4H₂O [P2₁/c, a = 5.6437(4) Å, b = 12.8357(9) Å, c = 9.1507(6) Å, β = 95.892(1)° and Z = 2] by hydrothermal method, and its characterization by single crystal diffraction analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The rather wide spread of Cu–O bond lengths, can be primarily rationalised by the Jahn‐Teller effect, and secondarily by the connectivities of the CuO₆ octahedra.     

Die Kristallstruktur von Trikobalt(II)-dihydroxidsulfat-dihydrat,Co3(OH)2(SO4)2 · 2 H2O

Tricobalt (II)-dihydroxidesulfate-dihydrate, Co₃(OH)₂(SO₄)₂ · 2H₂O, is orthorhombic: a = 7.21, b = 9.77, c = 12.86 Å, V = 905.9 ų, space group D-Pbcm with four formula units per cell.

The SO₄ tetrahedra are regular while the Co? O octahedra show considerable distortion. The water molecule is coordinated to one Co atom and bonded to sulfate oxygen by two weak hydrogen bridges.

The crystal structure of a new natural strontium, iron and aluminium hydroxyphosphate (lulzacite) has been solved through an X-ray study of a single crystal:– symmetry: triclinic (P1̄);– unit cell parameters: a=5.457(1) Å, b=9.131(2) Å, c=9.769(2) Å, α=108.47(3)°, β=91.72(3)° and γ=97.44(3);– structural formula: (Sr_0.96Ba_0.04)₂Fe(Fe_0.63Mg_0.37)₂Al₄[(P_0.98V_0.02)O₄]₄(OH)₁₀ (Z=1).The structure presents along the b axis the alternation, on one hand of infinite chains of edge sharing octahedra (one Fe²⁺O₆ and an AlO₆ pair), and, on the other hand, of trimers with a central AlO₆ octahedron framed by two mixed (Fe²⁺,Mg)O₆ octahedra. Trimers and chains are linked by the corners of one AlO₆ octahedron and two PO₄ tetrahedra. Strontium ions are located in the channels of the structure. This structure is isotypic with that of jamesite, a lead arsenate. Similar octahedral building blocks are present in other mineral species: trimers in ludlamite (iron phosphate), chains in various hydroxysalts. © 2000 Académie des sciences / Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SASlulzacite / hydroxyphosphate / phosphate / strontium / iron / aluminium
