K3ReH6 – Synthese,Struktur und magnetische Eigenschaften

K₃ReH₆ – Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties K₃ReH₆ and K₃ReD₆ were synthesized by the reaction of potassium hydride (deuteride) with rhenium powder under a hydrogen pressure between 3000–3500 bar at 850 K. X-ray investigations on powdered samples and elastic neutron diffraction experiments on the deuterated compound at the triple axis spectrometer TAS 1 in the temperature range 5–600 K led to the atomic arrangement, which corresponds to that of the cryolite with [ReH₆]^3–-octahedra as characteristic units. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range from 3.5 K and room temperature revealed a weak temperature independent paramagnetism. Quantum mechanical calculations confirm these facts and show in detail that the large value of the spin-orbit coupling parameter is essential for the magnetic behaviour.

Hydrogensulfate mit fehlgeordneten Wasserstoffatomen – Synthese und Struktur von Li[H(HSO4)2](H2SO4)2 sowie Verfeinerung der Struktur von α-NaHSO4

Hydrogen Sulfates with Disordered Hydrogen Atoms – Synthesis and Structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ and Refinement of the Structure of α-NaHSO₄ The structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ has been determined for the first time whereas the structure of α-NaHSO₄ has been refined, so that direct determination of the hydrogen positions was possible. Both compounds crystallize triclinic in the space group P1 with the lattice constants a = 6.708(2), b = 6.995(1), c = 7.114(1) Å, α = 75.53(1), β = 84.09(2) and γ = 87.57(2)° (Z = 4) for α-NaHSO₄ and a = 4.915(1), b = 7.313(1), c = 8.346(2) Å, α = 82.42(3), β = 86.10(3) and γ = 80.93(3)° (Z = 1) for Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂. In both compounds there are disordered hydrogen positions. In the structure of α-NaHSO₄ there are two crystallographically different HSO₄^? tetrahedra and two different coordinated Na atoms. The system of hydrogen bonds can be described by chains in [0–11] direction. The disordering of the H atoms reduces the differences between the S? O and S? OH distances (1.45 and 1.50 Å) while in the ordered HSO₄ unit “regular” bond lengths are observed (1.45 und 1,57 Å). In the structure of Li[H(HSO₄)₂](H₂SO₄)₂ there are two crystallographically different SO₄-tetrahedra. The first one belongs to the [H(HSO₄)₂]^? unit while the second one represents H₂SO₄ molecules. The H atom which is located nearby the symmetry centre and connects two HSO₄ units by a short O…?O distance of 2.44 Å. Li is located on a symmetry centre and is slightly distorted octahedrally coordinated by oxygen atoms of six different SO₄ tetrahedra. The system of hydrogen bonds can be regarded as consisting of double layers parallel to the xy-plane.     

Synthese,Struktur und Thermolyse von NH4[Re3Br10]

These chains run along [010] and are held together by NH₄⁺ ions. Each NH₄⁺ is surrounded by eight Br^? from four different chains. The first step of the thermal decomposition at 290°C is the disproportionation to ReBr₃ (ReCl₃ type), rhenium metal and (NH₄)₂[ReBr₆]. Secondly, the internal reduction of (NH₄)₂[ReBr₆] at 390°C to rhenium metal takes place.

Na3OsH7 – Synthese,Struktur und magnetische Eigenschaften,sowie Untersuchungen zur Existenz einer analogen Rutheniumverbindung

Na₃OsH₇ – Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties as well as Investigations on the Existence of the Analogous Ruthenium Compound Na₃OsH₇ was synthesized by the reaction of sodium hydride with osmium powder under a hydrogen pressure of more than 1500 bar at 870 K. X‐ray investigations on powdered samples and elastic neutron diffraction experiments on the deuterated compound led to the atomic arrangement (space group: P4₂/mnm), which is characterized by isolated [OsD₇]‐anions. The coordination polyhedron formed by the seven deuterium ligands can be described as a distorted pentagonal bipyramide. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range between 3.5 K and room temperature revealed a weak temperature independent paramagnetism. Quantum mechanical calculations confirm these facts and show in detail that the large value of the spin‐orbit coupling constant is responsible for the magnetic behaviour of the osmium (IV) compound. To synthesize the analogous ruthenium hydride it was necessary to increase the hydrogen pressure during the reaction up to 5000 bar. X‐ray investigations showed that Na₃RuH₇ crystallizes in an atomic arrangement isotypic to that of the osmium compound.

Isolierte [M6S14]-Baueinheiten in ternären Sulfiden des Technetiums und Rheniums

Isolated [M₆S₁₄] Units in Ternary Sulfides of Technetium and Rhenium We have successfully prepared the ternary sulfides Rb₁₀Tc₆S₁₄, Cs₁₀Tc₆S₁₄, Rb₁₀Re₆S₁₄, and Cs₁₀Re₆S₁₄ by heating alkali carbonate with elemental technetium or rhenium in a hydrogen stream charged with sulfur. Structural investigations on single crystals revealed that these compounds crystallize in the space group Fm3 m. [M₆S₁₄] cluster units (M $ \hat = $ Tc, Re) are found as the characteristic structural features, in which regular M₆ octahedra are coordinated by sulfur atoms over their eight faces and six vertices. Other than in the case of the previously investigated ternary technetium and rhenium chalcogenides, these units are not linked to one another, but occur as isolated complex anions which form a cubic close packed array. The alkali ions, whose sites are partly statistically occupied, are found on the corners, the edges and the longer face diagonals of a rhombic dodecahedron surrounding each of these units. The dodecahedra share all their faces with one another. The diamagnetic behaviour which was measured on Cs₁₀Tc₆S₁₄ in the temperature range from 10 to 295 K is in accordance with a 24-electron-configuration of the regular M₆ octahedra.
