| Abstract: | Single crystals of fluoride hydrates Mn3F8 · 12 H2O and AgMnF4 · 4 H2O have been prepared and characterized by X-ray methods. Mn3F8 · 12 H2O crystallizes in the space group P1 (a = 623.0(3), b = 896.7(4), c = 931.8(4) pm, α = 110.07(2)°, β = 103.18(2)°, γ = 107.54(2)°, Z = 1); AgMnF4 · 4 H2O crystallizes in the space group P21/m (a = 700.9(2), b = 726.1(1), c = 749.4(3) pm, β = 107.17(3)°, Z = 2). Both structures contain Jahn-Teller-distorted Mn(H2O)2F4]? anions as well as crystal water molecules and exhibit a complex hydrogen bond network between anions and cations, i. e. Mn(H2O)6]2+ for the first and a polymeric Ag(H2O)2]? cation for the second compound. |
