Zwei Fluoridborate des Gadoliniums: Gd2F3[BO3] und Gd3F3[BO3]2

Two Fluoride Borates of Gadolinium: Gd₂F₃[BO₃] and Gd₃F₃[BO₃]₂ By flux‐supported solid‐state reaction of Gd₂O₃ and GdF₃ with B₂O₃ (flux: CsCl, molar ratio: 1 : 1 : 1 : 6, sealed tantalum capsule, 700 °C, 7 d) the new gadolinium fluoride borate Gd₂F₃[BO₃] (monoclinic, P2₁/c; a = 1637.2(1), b = 624.78(4), c = 838.04(6) pm, β = 93.341(8)°; V_m = 64.418(6) cm³/mol, Z = 8) was obtained as colourless, prismatic, face‐rich single crystals. The four crystallographically different Gd³⁺ cations (CN = 9) are all capped square‐antiprismatically surrounded by fluoride and oxide anions, in which the latter represent always components of isolated trigonal planar [BO₃]^3— anions. The six crystallographically independent F^— anions all reside in more or less planar coordination of three Gd³⁺ cations. Thus the constitution of Gd₂F₃[BO₃] can be described as a sequence of alternating layers each of the composition Gd[BO₃] and GdF₃ parallel (100), respectively. The crystal structures of Gd₂F₃[BO₃] and the shortly published Gd₃F₃[BO₃]₂ (monoclinic, C2/c; a = 1253.4(1), b = 623.7(1), c = 836.0(1) pm, β = 97.404(6)°; V_m = 97.571(9) cm³/mol, Z = 4) are compared with each other. Due to the structural analogies between these two gadolinium fluoride borates, a disorder model of the boron atoms frequently found for Gd₂F₃[BO₃] is able to be transferred to Gd₃F₃[BO₃]₂ as well.     

Novel Copper(I)‐Thioantimonates(III): Solvothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structures,Thermal Stability and Magnetic Properties of (C2N2H10)0.5Cu2SbS3, (C3N2H12)0.5Cu2SbS3, and (C4N2H14)0.5Cu2SbS3

The novel copper(I)‐thioantimonates(III) (enH₂²⁺)_0.5Cu₂SbS₃ ( I ) (en = ethylendiamine), (1, 3‐DAPH₂²⁺)_0.5Cu₂SbS₃ ( II ) (1, 3‐DAP = 1, 3 diaminopropane) and (1, 4‐DABH₂²⁺)_0.5Cu₂SbS₃ ( III ) (1, 4‐DAB = 1, 4‐diaminobutane) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions reacting Sb₂S₃, CuCl₂·2H₂O, S with the amines. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The primary building units are a SbS₃ trigonal pyramid and two distorted CuS₃ units. In the structures the SbS₃ pyramid is connected to six CuS₃ moieties and every S atom has bonds to one Sb atom and to two Cu atoms. Further interconnection leads to the formation of ten‐membered (10 MR) Cu₃Sb₂S₅ and six‐membered (6 MR) Cu₂SbS₃ rings. Every 10 MR is condensed to four 10 MR and four 6 MR to form a single layer within the (010) plane. Two such single layers are connected to a double layer thus forming the final [Cu₂SbS₃]^— layered anion. The [CuSbS₃]^— protonated amines are located between the layers and the interlayer spacing depends on the size and orientation of these amines. Between the Sb atom and one Cu atom a remarkable short distance of about 2.7Å is observed. At elevated temperatures the compounds decompose into CuSbS₂ and Cu₃SbS₄ suggesting a complex redox reaction. Diamagnetic susceptibilities indicate the copper(I) in the metal sulfide frameworks. All three compounds are semiconductors with intermediate band gaps of about 2 eV.     

Wasserfreie Selenite des Lanthans: Synthese und Kristallstruktur von La2(SeO3)3 und LaFSeO3

Anhydrous Selenites of Lanthanum: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of La₂(SeO₃)₃ and LaFSeO₃ Colorless single crystals of La₂(SeO₃)₃ were obtained via the decomposition of La₂(SeO₄)₃ in the presence of NaCl in sealed gold ampoules. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system (Pnma, Z = 4, a = 846.7(1), b = 1428.6(1), c = 710.3(2) pm, R_all = 0.0223) and contains La³⁺ in tenfold coordination of oxygen atoms which belong to seven SeO₃^2– groups. Hence, three of the latter act as bidentate ligands. The reaction of LiF with La₂(SeO₄)₃ in sealed gold ampoules yielded colorless single crystals of LaFSeO₃ (monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 12, a = 1819.8(3), b = 715.75(8), c = 846.4(1) pm, β = 96.89(2)°, R_all = 0.0352). The crystal structure contains three crystallographically different La³⁺ ions. La1 is surrounded by six oxygen atoms from five SeO₃^2– groups and four fluoride ions, La2 is coordinated by two bidentate SeO₃^2– ions and seven fluoride ligands. La3 is surrounded by oxygen atoms only with the coordination number and polyhedron being almost the same as found for La³⁺ in La₂(SeO₃)₃. Furthermore, the crystal structures of both compounds are strongly influenced by the lone pairs of the SeO₃^2– groups.     

Synthesis and Structure of the Clusters [Hg2(μ—SePh)2(SePh)2(PPh3)2] and [Hg3Br3(μ—SePh)3] · 2 DMSO

The compounds [Hg₂(μ—SePh)₂(SePh)₂(PPh₃)₂] ( I ) and [Hg₃Br₃(μ—SePh)₃] · 2 DMSO ( II ) are formed by reactions of [Hg(SePh)₂] with PPh₃ in THF( I ) or with HgBr₂ in DMSO ( II ) at room temperature. X—ray crystallography reveals that the cluster I consists of a distorted square built by each two Hg and Se atoms. The Hg atoms have almost tetrahedral co‐ordination environments formed by selenium atoms of two (μ‐^—SePh) ligands and Se and P atoms of terminal ^—SePh and PPh₃ ligands. The compound II is a six‐membered ring with alternating Hg and Se atoms in the chair conformation. Two DMSO molecules occupy positions below and above the [Hg₃Se₃] ring with the oxygen atoms directed to the centre of the ring.     

Crystallographic report: A two‐dimensional zinc phosphate framework: [H3N(CH2)3NH3]0.5[Zn2(PO4)(HPO4)]

The two‐dimensional zinc phosphate [H₃N(CH₂)₃NH₃]_0.5[Zn₂(PO₄)(HPO₄)], has been synthesized hydrothermally using 1,3‐diaminopropane as the template. Its structure contains an inorganic framework with three‐, four‐, or six‐membered rings, built from PO₄, PO₃(OH) and ZnO₄ tetrahedral moieties sharing vertexes. The protonated 1,3‐diaminopropane molecules interact with the framework through hydrogen bonds. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Barium,Potassium, and Tris(ethane‐1,2‐diamine)nickel(II) Fluoroalkanedisulfonates and the X‐ray Crystal Structures of K2(O3S)2CHF,K2(O3S)2CF2, K2(O3S)2(CF2)3 · H2O,and [Nien3][(O3S)2(CF2)n] (n = 1, 3)

The barium perfluoroalkanedisulfonates Ba(O₃S)₂(CF₂)_n (n = 1, 3–5) and the new potassium fluoroalkanedisulfonates K₂(O₃S)₂CHF, K₂(O₃S)₂CF₂, and K₂(O₃S)₂(CF₂)₅ have been prepared by reaction of (CF₂)_n(SO₂F)₂ (n = 1, 3–5) or CHF(SO₂F)₂ with CaO (or Ca(OH)₂) and M(OH)_x (M = Ba, x = 2; M = K, x = 1) or with Ba(OH)₂ alone (n = 1) in water. In each of the crystal structures of K₂(O₃S)₂CHF and K₂(O₃S)₂CF₂, there is an eight‐coordinate and a six‐coordinate potassium ion, whilst in K₂(O₃S)₂(CF₂)₃H₂O, two different eight‐coordinate potassium ions are linked by a bridging water molecule. One potassium has additionally six sulfonate oxygen and one fluorine donor atoms, and the other, five sulfonate oxygens and two fluorine donor atoms. The preparation of highly crystalline [Nien₃][(O₃S)(CF₂)_n] (en = ethane‐1,2‐diamine; n = 1, 3–5) and the X‐ray crystal structures for n = 1 or 3 provide evidence for the value of perfluoroalkanedisulfonate ions as counter ions for the crystallization of cationic complexes.     

Ce2[SeO3]3 and Pr2[SeO3]3: Non‐Isostructural Oxoselenates(IV) of the Light Lanthanoids

The crystal structures of Ce₂[SeO₃]₃ and Pr₂[SeO₃]₃ have been refined from X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction data. The compounds were obtained using stoichiometric mixtures of CeO₂, SeO₂, Ce, and CeCl₃ (molar ratio 3:3:1:1) or Pr₆O₁₁, SeO₂, Pr, and PrCl₃ (molar ratio 3:27:1:2) heated in evacuated sealed silica tubes at 830 °C for one week. Ce₂[SeO₃]₃ crystallizes orthorhombically (space group: Pnma), with four formula units per unit cell of the dimensions a = 839.23(5) pm, b = 1421.12(9) pm, and c = 704.58(4) pm. Its structure contains only a single crystallographically unique Ce³⁺ cation in tenfold coordination with oxygen atoms arranged as single‐face bicapped square antiprism and two different trigonal pyramidal [SeO₃]^2? groups. The connectivity among the [CeO₁₀] polyhedra results in infinite sheets of face‐ and edge‐sharing units propagating normal to [001]. Pr₂[SeO₃]₃ is monoclinic (space group: P2₁/n) with twelve formula units per unit cell of the dimensions a = 1683.76(9) pm, b = 705.38(4) pm, c = 2167.19(12) pm, and β = 102.063(7)°. Its structure exhibits six crystallographically distinct Pr³⁺ cations in nine‐ and tenfold coordination with oxygen atoms forming distorted capped square antiprisms or prisms (CN = 9), bicapped square antiprisms and tetracapped trigonal prisms (CN = 10), respectively. The [PrO₉] and [PrO₁₀] polyhedra form double layers parallel to (111) by edge‐ or face‐sharing, which are linked by nine different [SeO₃]^2? groups to build up a three‐dimensional framework. In both compounds, the discrete [SeO₃]^2? anions (d(Se⁴⁺–O^2?) = 166–174 pm) show the typical Ψ¹‐tetrahedral shape owing to the non‐bonding “lone‐pair” electrons at the central selenium(IV) particles. Moreover, their stereochemical “lone‐pair” activity seems to flock together in large empty channels running along [010] in the orthorhombic Ce₂[SeO₃]₃ and along [101] in the monoclinic Pr₂[SeO₃]₃ structure, respectively.     

3s-Gd2C2Br2: Eine neue Stapelvariante

3s-Gd₂C₂Br₂: An Isomorph with a New Stacking Sequence Gd₂C₂Br₂ has been described in [1]. Here we describe the new stacking variant 3s-Gd₂C₂Br₂ prepared by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of GdBr₃, Gd, and C at 1 320 K. 3s-Gd₂C₂Br₂ with a stacking sequence different to that described in [1] crystallizes in space group C2/m with lattice constants a = 706.6(2) pm, b = 382.7(1) pm, c = 996.7(4) pm and β = 99.95(3)°. In the structure C₂ units are octahedrally surrounded by Gd atoms. Such Gd₆(C₂) octahedra are condensed via edges to form sheets, which are separated by two layers of Br-ions. In contrast to the modification described previously three slabs BrGd(C₂)GdBr are stacked in [103] direction until identity is reached. The isotypic 3s-Tb₂C₂Br₂ has also been prepared at 1 370 K. It is characterized by the lattice constants a = 701.5(3) pm, b = 380.1(1) pm, c = 994.8(3) pm and β = 100.05°.     

Das erste Alkali-Erdalkalimetall-Oxoniccolat(II,III): NaBa2Ni22+Ni3+O6

The First Alkalinc Alkaline Earth Oxoniccolate(II,III): NaBa₂Ni₂²⁺Ni³⁺O₆ Single crystals of NaBa₂Ni₂²⁺Ni³⁺O₆ were prepared by solid state reaction. X-ray investigations led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D-Fmmm; a = 8.310; b = 11.220; c = 14.397 Å; Z = 8. Na⁺ is coordinated by six O^2? in form of a trigonal prism and the two Ba²⁺ point positions show different coordination numbers C.N. = 6 + 4 and 8. The Ni²⁺ /Ni³⁺ ions are in square planar polygons, six of them are forming a so far unknown closed macro polyhedra.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von NaPr2F3(SO4)2

Synthesis and Crystal Strucure of NaPr₂F₃(SO₄)₂ Light green single crystals of NaPr₂F₃(SO₄)₂ have been obtained by the reaction of Pr₂(SO₄)₃ and NaF in sealed gold ampoules at 1050 °C. In the crystal structure (monoclinic, I2/a, Z = 4, a = 822.3(1), b = 692.12(7), c = 1419.9(2) pm, β = 95.88(2)°) Pr³⁺ is coordinated by four F^– ions and six oxygen atoms which belong to five SO₄^– ions. Thus, one of the latter acts as a bidentate ligand. The [PrO₆F₄] units are connected via three common fluoride ions to pairs with a Pr–Pr distance of 386 pm. Na⁺ is sevenfold coordinated by three fluorine and four oxygen atoms.     

(NH4)2ZrGe3O9: a new microporous zirconogermanate

A new microporous zirconogermanate, di­ammonium zirconium trigermanate, (NH₄)₂ZrGe₃O₉ (FDZG‐2), analogous to wadeite (K₂ZrSi₃O₉), was hydro­thermally synthesized using ZrO(NO₃)₂·2H₂O as the source of zirconium and 1,4‐di­amino­butane as a structure‐directing agent. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that the framework structure is built up of cyclic trigermanate units crosslinked by ZrO₆ octahedra. The Zr atom lies at a site with symmetry and the unique N atom of the ammonium ion lies at a site with threefold symmetry. Large cages are observed, with two NH₄⁺ cations in each. The structure contains intersecting six‐ and three‐membered ring (6MR and 3MR) channels, but only the 6MR channels can accommodate the NH₄⁺ ions.     

Synthese und Struktur der basischen Erdalkalinitrate Sr2(OH)3NO3 und Ba2(OH)3NO3

Synthesis and Structure of the Basic Alkaline Earth Nitrates Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ and Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ and Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ were synthesized from mixtures of freshly prepared strontium or barium hydroxides and their corresponding nitrates in evacuated quartz glass ampoules at 420 °C and 360 °C, respectively. Single crystals of Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ were obtained in a solidified Sr(NO₃)₂ melt after subsequent heating and cooling cycles in air up to 600 °C. The crystal structure of the strontium compound was refined from single crystal and powder X‐ray data. Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ crystallizes hexagonally in the space group (No. 189) with Z = 1 and the lattice parameters a = 6.624(2) Å and c = 3.560(1) Å (single crystal data). The powder pattern of Ba₂(OH)₃NO₃ was indexed isotypically to Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ with the lattice parameters a = 6.9260(1) Å and c = 3.8086(1) Å, and the crystal structure was refined from powder X‐ray data. Alkaline earth ions in the structures are surrounded trigonal‐prismatically by six hydroxide ions. These prisms are sharing their trigonal faces along [001] building up columns. These columns are connected in the ab‐plane by shared edges, and form hexagonal tunnels with the nitrate groups stacked inside. Infrared and thermoanalytical data of Sr₂(OH)₃NO₃ are presented.     

Solvatothermal Syntheses and Structural Characterizations of Polyoxoalkoxometalates: The Heptanuclear [{Fe(OH)(CH3CN)2} Fe6OCl6{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}4], the Decanuclear [Fe10O2Cl8{(OCH2)3CCH2CH3}6], and the Bimetallic [(VO)2Fe8O2Cl6{(OCH2)3CCH2CH3}6]

Solvatothermal syntheses have been exploited to effect the isolation of three novel polyoxoalkoxometalate clusters, [{Fe(OH)(CH₃CN)₂} Fe₆OCl₆{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂OH}₄] (1), [Fe₁₀O₂Cl₈{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂CH₃}₆] (2), and [(VO)₂Fe₈O₂Cl₆{(OCH₂)₃CCH₂CH₃}₆] (3). The structure of 1 may be described as a hexametalate core {Fe₆OCl₆}¹⁰⁺, consisting of a octahedral arrangement of chloride ligands encasing an octahedron of six Fe(III) sites, with a central oxo group. The remaining four coordination sites at each octahedral iron center are occupied by doubly bridging oxygen donors from the trisalkoxo ligands. One triangular face of this substructure, defined by three oxygen atoms, from three adjacent trisalkoxo ligands, is capped by the {Fe(OH)(CH₃CN)₂}²⁺ subunit. The structure of 2 is based on the decametalate core of edge-sharing octahedra. The eight peripheral Fe(III) sites of the cluster bond to four oxygen donors from the trisalkoxo ligands, a terminal Cl^– ligand, and one of the ⁶-oxo groups. The two central iron sites are linked to four oxygen donors from the trisalkoxo ligands and to both of the ⁶-oxo groups. Cluster 3 is structurally related to 2 with two {FeCl}²⁺ units replaced by {VO}²⁺ groups.     

Design and Syntheses of Three Novel Carbonate Halides: Cs3Pb2(CO3)3I,KBa2(CO3)2F,and RbBa2(CO3)2F

Three new carbonate halides, Cs₃Pb₂(CO₃)₃I, KBa₂(CO₃)₂F and RbBa₂(CO₃)₂F have been synthesized with hydrothermal and solid‐state methods. Cs₃Pb₂(CO₃)₃I is the first product in the lead carbonate iodides family; KBa₂(CO₃)₂F and RbBa₂(CO₃)₂F are the first two centrosymmetric compounds found in the alkaline–alkaline earth carbonate fluorides family. Cs₃Pb₂(CO₃)₃I crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group C2/m, and exhibits a two‐ dimensional layered structure which is formed by [Cs₄Pb₄(CO₃)₆I₂]_∞ double‐layers consisting of [Pb₂(CO₃)₃I]_∞ single‐layers bridged by the Cs atoms. KBa₂(CO₃)₂F and RbBa₂(CO₃)₂F, which are isostructural, crystallize in a trigonal crystal system with a centric space group of R featuring a honeycomb‐like framework. First principle calculations indicate that Cs₃Pb₂(CO₃)₃I has a moderate birefringence and explain the difference between the band gaps of the title compounds from electron structures. The effects of cations and halogens on the structures and properties of the title compounds are also discussed.     

(Ph4P)2[Be3(μ‐OH)3(H2O)6]Cl5: Kristallstruktur und DFT‐Rechnungen

Bis(tetraphenylphosphonium)‐tris(μ‐hydroxo)hexaaquatriberylliumpentachloride, (Ph₄P)₂[Be₃(μ‐OH)₃(H₂O)₆]Cl₅ ( 1 ), was surprisingly obtained by reaction of (Ph₄P)N₃ · n H₂O with BeCl₂ in dichloromethane suspension and subsequent crystallization from acetonitrile to give single crystals of composition 1· 5.25CH₃CN. According to the crystal structure determination space group P , Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 100 K: a = 1354.8(2), b = 1708.7(2), c = 1753.2(2) pm, α = 114.28(1)°, β = 94.80(1)°, γ = 104.51(1)°, R₁ = 0.0586] the [Be₃(μ‐OH)₃(H₂O)₆]³⁺ cations form six‐mem‐bered Be₃O₃ rings with boat conformation and distorted tetrahedrally coordinated beryllium atoms with the terminally coordinated H₂O molecules. The structure ist characterized by a complicated three dimensional hydrogen‐bridging network including O–H ··· O, O–H ··· Cl, and O–H ··· NCCH₃ contacts. DFT calculations result in nearly planar [Be₃(OH)₃] six‐membered ring conformations.     

Gold-Stickstoff-Heterocyclen. 3. Synthese,Eigenschaften und Struktur von trimerem Amido-dimethylgold(III), [(CH3)2 AuNH2]3

Gold Nitrogen Heterocycles. 3. Synthesis, Properties, and Structure of Amido Dimethyl Gold(III), [(CH₃)₂ AuNH₂]₃ The reaction of [(CH₃)₂AuI]₂ with KNH₂ in liquid NH₃ yields tetrameric and trimeric amido dimethyl gold(III). The tetrameric form transforms at ambient temperature easily in the more stable trimeric complex. [(CH₃)₂AuNH₂]₃ forms air-stable, colorless crystals, which are sensitive against irridiation with light. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ama2 with the lattice constants a = 1653.4, b = 1844.4, c = 448.1 pm, Z = 4. In the trimeric complex the Au(CH₃)₂ groups are linked together by symmetrical amido bridges forming a six membered Au? N heterocycle in the chair conformation. The Au atoms exhibit a square-planar coordination of two CH₃ groups (Au? C = 203 pm) and two N atoms (Au? N = 215 pm) in a cis arrangement. The symmetry C_3v was confirmed for the complex in solution and in the solid state. The vibrational spectra as well as the H-NMR and mass spectra are discussed.     

Solid-state reactions in Y2O3:3Al2O3:4B2O3 system studied by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

In the Y₂O₃:3Al₂O₃:4B₂O₃ system infrared absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction have been used to study the solid-state reactions in the 600–1300°C temperature range. The expected YAl₃(BO₃)₄ formation (whose optimum temperature is at about 1150°C) was proceeded and accompanied by the appearance of YBO₃ and Al₄B₂O₉ intermediate phases. At higher temperatures the Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ phase was also identified with both methods. Based on these results, some chemical reactions were suggested.

Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of aqueous electrolytes: CaCl2, Cd(NO3)2, CoCl2, Cu(ClO4)2, Mg(ClO4)2, and NiCl2

We have used a flow calorimeter and a flow densimeter for measurements leading to apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of six 21 electrolytes in aqueous solution at 25°C. Results of these measurements have been used to derive apparent molar heat capacities and volumes at infinite dilution for all six electrolytes: CaCl₂, Cd(NO₃)₂, CoCl₂, Cu(ClO₄)₂, Mg(ClO₄)₂, and NiCl₂.
