The crystal structure was solved by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction ( a = 6.6345(13), b = 8.7107(17), c = 11.632(2) Å, α = 68.96(3), β = 87.57(3), γ = 68.24(3)°, V = 579.5(2) ų, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0535, 2095 observed reflections, 230 parameters). Both hydrogen atoms of the dihydrogencyamelurate anion are directly bound to nitrogen atoms of the cyameluric nucleus, thus proving the preference of the keto‐tautomere in salts of cyameluric acid in the solid‐state. The compound forms a layer‐like structure with an extensive hydrogen bonding network.

The crystal structure (trigonal, R3 , Z = 6, a = 1 365.0(3) pm, c = 2 360(1) pm, R = 0.088, R_w = 0.061 exhibits the coordination number of nine for La³⁺, which is surrounded by three chelating-type bidentate and three unidentate acetate groups. Characteristic are monomeric units of [La(CH₃COO)₆]^3? which are connected to a three-dimensional network by hydrogen bonds with the NH ions. Thermal decomposition consists of four steps with La(CH₃COO)₃, La₂(CO₃)₃ and La₂O₂CO₃ as intermediates and La₂O₃ as the final Product.

The calcium salts Ca₂P₂O₆ · 2H₂O ( 1 ) and [Ca(H₂O)₃(H₂P₂O₆)] · 0.5(C₁₂H₂₄O₆) · H₂O ( 2 ) were prepared and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and compound 2 in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The crystal structure of compound 1 consists of chains of edge‐sharing [CaO₇] polyhedra linked by hypodiphosphate(IV) anions to form a three‐dimensional network. The crystal structure of compound 2 consists of alternated layers of crown ether and water molecules and respective ionic units. Within the layers of ionic units the Ca²⁺ cations are octahedrally coordinated by three monodentate dihydrogenhypodiphosphate(IV) anions and three water molecules. The IR/Raman spectra of the title compounds were recorded and interpreted, especially with respect to the [P₂O₆]^4– and [H₂P₂O₆]^2– groups. The phase purity of 2 was verified by powder diffraction measurements.     

Water-rich molybdotellurates: Preparation and crystal structure of Li6[TeMo6O24] · 18 H2O and Li6[TeMo6O24] · Te(OH)6 · 18 H2O

Li₆[TeMo₆O₂₄] · 18 H₂O is triclinic (space group P1 , a = 1 041.7(1), b = 1 058.6(1), c = 1 070.8(1) pm, α = 61.08(1), β = 60.44(1), γ = 73.95(1)°). Single crystal X-ray structure analysis (Z = 1, 295 K, 317 parameters, 3 973 reflections, R_g = 0.0250) revealed an infinite branched chain of edge-sharing Li coordination polyhedra to be the prominent structural feature. One of the four crystallographically independent Li⁺ is coordinated octahedrally. The coordination polyhedra of the remaining Li⁺ are distorted trigonal bipyramids. Only three unique oxygen atoms (O(9), O(10), O(12)) of the centrosymmetric [TeMo₆O₂₄]^6? anion are bound to Li⁺. The further positions in the coordination spheres of the Li⁺ are occupied by water molecules. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds involve mainly oxygen atoms of the [TeMo₆O₂₄]^6? anion as nearly equivalent proton acceptors without regard to their different bonding modes to Te and Mo, respectively. Li₆[TeMo₆O₂₄] · Te(OH)₆ · 18 H₂O crystallizes monoclinically in space group P2₁/n with Z = 4, a = 994.1(3), b = 2 344.8(10), c = 1 764.9(4) pm, and β = 91.36(4)°. Single crystal structure analysis with least squares refinement of 627 parameters (5 900 reflections, 295 K) converged to R_g = 0.0324. There are six unique Li⁺ cations. The coordination polyhedra of Li(1), Li(2), Li(3), and Li(4) are linked by common edges to yield an eight membered centrosymmetric strand. The coordination polyhedra of the remaining two Li⁺ sites (Li(5), Li(6)) are connected to a dimeric unit via a common corner. All oxygen atoms of the Te(OH)₆ molecule are involved in the coordination of Li⁺. However, only three oxygen atoms (O(13), O(18), O(23)) of the [TeMo₆O₂₄]^6? anion which lacks crystallographic symmetry are involved in the coordination of Li⁺. The oxygen atoms of the anion act as proton acceptors in hydrogen bonds of predominantly medium strength. Te(OH)₆ molecules and [TeMo₆O₂₄]^6? anions connected by strong hydrogen bonds form an infinite chain.

In the molecule, the [Mo₃OS₃] core is surrounded by two bridging OAc groups and two terminal chelate dtp groups attached to the {Mo₃} triangle in a symmetric style, and the Py ligand is coordinated to the Mo atom at the apex of {Mo₃} triangle with the nitrogen. This novel configuration is obtained for the first time with Mo—N bond length being 2.27 (2) Å and three Mo—Mo bond lengths 2.584 (4), 2.587 (4) and 2.657(4) Å, respectively. As a whole, the molecule has a virtual C₂ symmetry.

These dimeric units are contained in slabs that are stacked in the [001] direction and held together by Rb⁺ cations and crystal water.     

Novel acetate binding modes in [Na2Cu(CH3COO)4(H2O)].H2O

A new copper(II) acetate, [Na(2)Cu(CH(3)COO)(4)(H(2)O)].H(2)O (1), has been crystallized from an aqueous solution containing sodium acetate and copper(II) acetate monohydrate in a 4:1 ratio and the structure determined by X-ray crystallography. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 16.638(3) A, b = 11.781(2) A, c = 15.668(3) A, beta = 90.11(3) degrees, V = 3071.0(11) A(3), and Z = 4. In the asymmetric unit, sodium ions bridge two crystallographically unique square planar [Cu(CH(3)COO)(4)](2-) units to their symmetry-generated neighbors to form corrugated 2D sheets of Na(2)Cu(CH(3)COO)(4), which are held together by H-bonding interactions involving the waters of crystallization. In contrast, the structures of known sodium copper acetates are better described as 3D frameworks. The metal centers are bridged by a number of acetates in novel coordination modes. The square planar Cu(II) geometry generated by oxygen atoms from four different acetates is an unexpected feature given the weak ligand field provided by the acetate ligands.     

Molybdänhalogenidcluster mit sechs terminalen Alkoholatliganden: (C18H36N2O6Na)2[Mo6Cl8(OCH3)6] · 6CH3OH und (C18H36N2O6Na2)2[Mo6Cl8(OC6H5)6]

These two structures can be described as frameworks in which all atoms occupy general positions. Sr[RhF₆] and Ba[RhF₆] have a different space group (, from powder diffraction data) but similar cell dimensions. The structures are very close to that of Ba[IrF₆]. The cation is in a cuboctahedral coordination. The metal atoms are located on special positions of symmetry, while the F atoms are in general positions.

The asymmetric unit contains Na–O polyhedra (distorted octahedron), [B₆O₈(OH)₃]^– fundamental building blocks, one free water molecule and one free H₃BO₃ molecule. In the hexaborate anion, three B₃O₃ rings are linked by a common oxygen atom with five trigonal and one tetrahedral boron atoms. The hexaborate group is also linked to the oxygenated environment of the sodium atom by three other six‐membered rings, each of which involve two boron atoms, three oxygen atoms, and sodium as the joint atom.
