Sulfur(IV) Compounds as Ligands. II. The Crystal and Molecular Structure of Pentacarbonyl--(sulfur dioxide)chromium The structure of pentacarbonyl(sulfurdioxide)chromium ( 1 ) has been determined from single crystal X-ray data.

Hydroxo Compounds. 9. Barium Oxohydroxostannate(II) Ba[SnO(OH)]₂ The pale yellow barium hydroxostannate(II), to which different stoichiometries have been assigned in the past, is now identified doubtlessly as Ba[SnO(OH)]₂. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (a = 759.4(2) pm, b = 576.2(1) pm, c = 717.4(2) pm, β = 107.67(2)°, Z = 2, R = 0.038, 645 I_hkl) and exhibits a typical layer structure.

Quaternäre Caesium‐Kupfer(I)‐Lanthanoid(III)‐Selenide vom Typ CsCu3M2Se5 (M = Sm,Gd — Lu)

Quaternary Cesium Copper(I) Lanthanoid(III) Selenides of the Type CsCu₃M₂Se₅ (M = Sm, Gd — Lu) By oxidation of mixtures of copper and lanthanoid metal with elemental selenium in molar ratios of 1 : 1 : 2 and in addition of CsCl quaternary cesium copper(I) lanthanoid(III) selenides with the formula CsCu₃M₂Se₅ (M = Sm, Gd — Lu) were obtained at 750 °C within a week from torch‐sealed evacuated silica tubes. An excess of CsCl as flux helps to crystallize golden yellow or red, needle‐shaped, water‐resistant single crystals. The crystal structure of CsCu₃M₂Se₅ (M = Sm, Gd — Lu) (orthorhombic, Cmcm, Z = 4; e. g. CsCu₃Sm₂Se₅: a = 417.84(3), b = 1470.91(8), c = 1764.78(9) pm and CsCu₃Lu₂Se₅: a = 407.63(3), b = 1464.86(8), c = 1707.21(9) pm, respectively) contains [MSe₆]^9— octahedra which share edges to form double chains running along [100]. Those are further connected by vertices to generate a two‐dimensional layer parallel to (010). By edge‐ and vertex‐linking of [CuSe₄]^7— tetrahedra two crystallographically different Cu⁺ cations build up two‐dimensional puckered layers parallel to (010) as well. These sheet‐like structure interconnects the equation/tex2gif-stack-3.gif{[M₂Se₅]^4—} layers to create a three‐dimensional network according to equation/tex2gif-stack-4.gif{[Cu₃M₂Se₅]^—}. Thus empty channels along [100] form, apt to take up the Cs⁺ cations. These are surrounded by eight plus one Se^2— anions in the shape of (2+1)‐fold capped trigonal prisms with Cs—Se distances between 348 and 368 pm (8×) and 437 (for M = Sm) or 440 pm (for M = Lu), respectively, for the ninth ligand.

Besides the bonds to both Mn ring atoms each Sn(IV) atom has a terminal bond to a Br and Mn(CO)₅ ligand, building up a distorted tetrahedron around the Sn(IV) atom. The terminal ligands in Mn₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(Br)Mn(CO)₅]₂ are in transposition with respect to the ring. The mean values for the remaining bond distances are: Sn? Mn = 263.0(1) pm; Sn? Br = 255.4(1) pm; Mn? C = 184.4(6) pm; C? O = 113.3(7) pm. A comparison of the Sn₂Mn₂ ring with similar metal rings has been given.

Hydroxoverbindungen. 12. Kristallstruktur und Konstitution von Natrium-trihydroxozinkat Na[Zn(OH)3] bei 190 K

Hydroxo Compounds. 12. Crystal Structure and Constitution of Sodium Trihydroxozincate Na[Zn(OH)₃] 1 The crystal structure of the very sensitive sodium trihydroxozincate Na[Zn(OH)₃] 1 has been determined at 190 K. Contrary to the observations of trigonal planar [Zn(OH)₃]^? anions at 298 K, the structure of 1 at lower temperatures is characterized by 1-dimensional chains [Zn(OH)₂(OH)_2/2]^? with the much more plausible (distorted) tetrahedral coordination of the Zn atoms (P4₂bc? C_4v ⁶; Nr. 106; a = 1083.9 pm; c = 530.8 pm; Z = 8; Zn? O = 194.3–200.5 pm). The H positions were determined unambigeously from the X-ray data in complete agreement with calculations of potential profiles. There are pronounced hydrogen bond distances present. The Na atoms are coordinated by (5+1) oxygen atoms (Na? O = 234.8–248.8 pm and 282.7 pm). The noncentric coordination of the atoms as well as the strong anisotropic and anharmonic temperature tensors indicate a second order phase transition between 190 K and 298 K.

The Binary Silicides Eu5Si3 and Yb3Si5 – Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Chemical Bonding

The binary silicides Eu₅Si₃ and Yb₃Si₅ were prepared from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes and their crystal structures were determined from single crystal X-ray data: I4/mcm, a = 791.88(7) pm, c = 1532.2(2) pm, Z = 4, wR2 = 0.0545, 600 F² values, 16 variables for Eu₅Si₃ (Cr₅B₃-type) and P62m, a = 650.8(2) pm, c = 409.2(1) pm, Z = 1, wR2 = 0.0427, 375 F² values, 12 variables for Yb₃Si₅ (Th₃Pd₅ type). The new silicide Eu₅Si₃ contains isolated silicon atoms and silicon pairs with a Si–Si distance of 242.4 pm. This silicide may be described as a Zintl phase with the formula [5 Eu²⁺]¹⁰⁺[Si]^4–[Si₂]^6–. The silicon atoms in Yb₃Si₅ form a two-dimensional planar network with two-connected and three-connected silicon atoms. According to the Zintl-Klemm concept the formula of homogeneous mixed-valent Yb₃Si₅ may to a first approximation be written as [3 Yb]⁸⁺[2 Si^–]^2–[3 Si^2–]^6–. Magnetic susceptibility investigations of Eu₅Si₃ show Curie-Weiss behaviour above 100 K with a magnetic moment of 7.85(5) μ_B which is close to the free ion value of 7.94 μ_B for Eu²⁺. Chemical bonding in Eu₅Si₃ and Yb₃Si₅ was investigated by semi-empirical band structure calculations using an extended Hückel hamiltonian. The strongest bonding interactions are found for the Si–Si contacts followed by Eu–Si and Yb–Si, respectively. The main bonding characteristics in Eu₅Si₃ are antibonding Si1₂-π* and bonding Eu–Si1 states at the Fermi level. The same holds true for the silicon polyanion in Yb₃Si₅.
