Ln6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(H2O)24]I8(H2O)8 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Tb, Dy) compounds are obtained as the final hydrolysis products of lanthanide triiodides in an aqueous solution. Their X-ray crystal structure features a body-centered arrangement of oxygen-centered {Ln6X8}8+ cluster cores:  [Nd6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(H2O)24]I8(H2O)8 [Pearson code oP156, orthorhombic, Pnnm (No. 58), Z = 2, a = 1310.4(3) pm, b = 1502.1(3) pm, c = 1514.9(3) pm, 3384 reflections with I0 > 2σ(I0), R1 = 0.0340, wR2 = 0.0764, GOF = 1.022, T = 298(2) K], [Eu6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(H2O)24]I8(H2O)8 [Pearson code oP156, orthorhombic, Pnnm (No. 58), Z = 2, a = 1306.6(2) pm, b = 1498.15(19) pm, c = 1499.41(18) pm, 4262 …


Homoleptic Alkaline Earth Metal Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Imide Complex Compounds Obtained From An Ionic Liquid, Arash Babai, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2006

Homoleptic Alkaline Earth Metal Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Imide Complex Compounds Obtained From An Ionic Liquid, Arash Babai, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

The first homoleptic alkaline earth bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Tf2N) complexes [mppyr]2[Ca(Tf2N)4], [mppyr]2[Sr(Tf2N)4], and [mppyr][Ba(Tf2N)3] were crystallized from a solution of the respective alkaline earth bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and the ionic liquid [mppyr][Tf2N] (mppyr = 1,1-N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium). In the calcium and strontium compounds, the alkaline earth metal (AE) is coordinated by four bidentately chelating Tf2N ligands to form isolated (distorted) square antiprismatic [AE(Tf2N)4]2- complexes which are separated by N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium cations. In contrast, the barium compound, [mppyr][Ba(Tf2N)3], forms an extended structure. Here the alkaline earth cation is surrounded by six oxygen atoms belonging to three Tf2N- anions which coordinate in a bidentate chelating fashion. Three further oxygen …

The First Homoleptic Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Amide Complex Compounds Of Trivalent F-Elements, Anja V. Mudring, Arash Babai

Anja V. Mudring

The synthesis and crystal structures of the first true homoleptic bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide complex compounds of trivalent f-elements are reported with [bmpyr]2[Ln(Tf2N)5], Ln = Nd, Tb and [bmpyr][Ln(Tf2N)4], Ln = Tm, Lu.


Crystal Engineering In Ionic Liquids. The Crystal Structures Of [Mppyr]3[Ndi6] And [Bmpyr]4[Ndi6][Tf2n], Arash Babai, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2006

Crystal Engineering In Ionic Liquids. The Crystal Structures Of [Mppyr]3[Ndi6] And [Bmpyr]4[Ndi6][Tf2n], Arash Babai, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

Single crystals of [mppyr][NdI6] and [bmpyr][NdI6][Tf2N] are the first surprising examples of how the cation of an ionic liquid determines the compound formation from an ionic liquid. Depending upon the variation of the length of the alkyl chain of the quaternary pyrrolidinium cation (C3 and C4, respectively), incorporation of the anion of the ionic liquid, [Tf2N]-, can either be evoked or suppressed.
