Selenostannate aus wäßriger Lösung: Darstellung und Struktur von Na4SnSe4 · 16 H2O

Selenostannates from Aqueous Solutions: Preparation and Structure of Na₄SnSe₄ · 16 H₂0 Pure selenostannates(IV) are prepared from aqueous solutions by reaction of SnSe₂, with alkali selenides, strictly excluding oxygen. Na₄SnSe₄ · 16 H₂O, being obtained from stoicheo-metric 1:2 quantities, is characterized by a complete X-ray structure analysis and by vibrational spectra. The compound is monoclinic (P2₁/m) with a = 8.673(3), b = 16.563(4), c = 8.647(2) Å, β = 92.10(2)°, Z = 2; it contains isolated tetrahedral SnSe₄^4? ions Sn? Se 2.504(2)?2.527(2) Å, Se? Sn? Se 106.6(1)?111.1(1)°] which are in contact to the hydrated octahedral Na(OH₂)₆]⁺ ions through Se…?H? O bridges within an extensive hydrogen bridge system. The stretching vibrations of the SnSe₄^4? ion are observed at 195 (n?₁) and 252 cm^?1 (n?₃). The stretching force constant is approximately 1.59 mdyn/Å.
