A New Open-Framework Iron Borophosphate From Ionic Liquids: Kfe[Bp2o8(Oh)], Guangmei Wang, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

A new open-framework iron borophosphate, KFe[BP2O8(OH)], has been obtained by ionothermal synthesis from KH2PO4, FeCl3∙4H2O, H3BO3 and [C4mpyr]Br (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that KFe[BP2O8(OH)] (monoclinic, P21/c, a = 9.372(2) Å , b = 8.146(2)Å , c = 9.587(2) Å, β = 101.18(3)°, V = 718.0(2)Å3 and Z = 4) has a three-dimensional (3-D) framework structure composed by {Fe(III)O5(OH)} octahedra as well as {BO3(OH)} and {PO4} tetrahedra. As anionic structural sub-unit, KFe[BP2O8(OH)], contains an infinite open-branched {[BP2O8(OH)]4-} chain which is formed by alternating {BO3(OH)} and {PO4} tetrahedra. {Fe(III)O5(OH)} octahedra share common O corners with five phosphate tetrahedra and …

The First Lanthanide Telluride-Bromide: La3te4br, A Valence Compound, Markus Larres, Anja V. Mudring, Gerd Meyer

Anja V. Mudring

The first ternary lanthanide telluride-bromide La3Te4Br was obtained from a mixture of LaTe and LaBr3 (in the presence of iridium) in a sealed tantalum container at elevated temperatures. The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 1634.3(2), b = 435.0(1), c = 1426.6(2) pm, Z = 4, R1 (I0 > 2s(I0)) = 0.0349) is built from dicapped trigonal prisms of tellurium and bromine atoms surrounding lanthanum in two different ways. The dicapped trigonal prisms are connected via common edges to a threedimensional structure, in the same fashion as is known for the binary U3Te5. La3Te4Br is a valence compound according to (La3+)3(Te2-)4(Br-) …
