Adducts [( dmso )nLn(O2NO)3], obtained by the crystallizatior , of lanthanoid (III) nitrate ( Ln (NO3)3.-xH2O) with excess dimethyl sulfoxide (' dmso ') in methanol or ethanol, have been the subject of a series of room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies, defining more clearly the manner in which stoichiometry and structure systematically vary with change in metal ion radius. All complexes studied are mononuclear, the metal ion being complexed by three bidentate nitrate ligands and a number of dmso ligands , four for La-Sm and three beyond. The array La- Sm is monoclinic C2/c, a ≈ 14.9, b ≈ 15.5, c ≈ 15.5 Ǻ, β ≈ 108.4°, Z = 4 f.u .; the metal atom is disposed on a crystallographic 2 axis, which also passes through one of the nitrate groups. The series Eu -Tm (inclusive also of Y) is monoclinic, P21/n, a ≈ 11.5, b ≈ 12.7, c ≈ 13.6 Ǻ, β ≈ 100°, Z = 4 f.u ., while Yb and Lu are also monoclinic, P21/c, a ≈ 10.0, b ≈ 12.6, c ≈ 16 Ǻ, β ≈ 100.6°, Z = 4 f.u.

Structure Determinations

Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of the title compounds, namely, [(ONO2)3Lu(N,N'-bidentate)2], N,N'-bidentate = 'bpy' = 2,2'-bipyridine or 'phen' = 1,10-phenan-throline, are recorded. The complexes are isomorphous with their previously studied lanthanum analogues, being orthorhombic, Pbcn, a 16.517(3), b 9.111(3), c 15.080(3) Ǻ, Z = 4 f.u., and monoclinic, C2/c, a 11.186(7), b 17.785(13), c 12.972(10) Ǻ, β 100.27(5)°, Z = 4 f.u., with R (on |F|) being 0.046 and 0.045 for 1339 and 2097 independent 'observed' (I > 3σ(I)) reflections respectively. The stereochemistries about the metal atoms are also similar, Lu(O2)3(N2)2, the metal atom in each case lying on a crystallographic twofold axis, which also passes through the axis of one of the bidentate nitrate groups; the latter, unlike their counterparts in the La/bpy complexes are not disordered.

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

Small single crystals of the Sm5Ge4-type (space group Pnma) germanides RE2Nb3Ge4 (RE = Sc, Y, Gd-Er, Lu) and Sc2Ta3Ge4 were synthesized by arc-melting of the respective elements. The samples were characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all structures, except for Sc2.04Nb2.96Ge4 and Sc2.19Ta2.81Ge4, the rare earth and niobium atoms show full ordering on the three crystallographically independent samarium sites of the Sm5Ge4 type. Two sites with coordination number 6 are occupied by niobium, while the slightly larger site with coordination number 7 is filled with the rare earth element. Small homogeneity ranges with RE=Nb and RE=Ta mixing can be expected for all compounds. The ordered substitution of two rare earth sites by niobium or tantalum has drastic effects on the coordination number and chemical bonding. This was studied for the pair Y5Ge4/Y2Nb3Ge4. Electronic structure calculations show larger charge transfer from yttrium to germanium for Y5Ge4, contrary to Y2Nb3Ge4 which shows stronger covalent bonding due to the presence of Nb replacing Y at two sites

Low-temperature (c. 153 K) single-crystal X-ray structure determinations, carried out on trivalent rare earth iodides crystallized from aqueous solution at room temperature, have defined two series of hydrates, LnI3.nH2O. For Ln = La–Ho, a nonahydrate phase (n = 9) is defined, orthorhombic Pmmn, a ~ 11.5, b ~ 8.0, c ~ 8.8 Å, Z = 2, the second phase (n = 10), monoclinic P21/c, Z = 4 being defined for Ln = Er–Lu, a ~ 8.2, b ~ 12.8, c ~ 17.1 Å, β ~ 103.7˚. Neither of these phases is isomorphous with any of those pertinent to the previously studied chloride or bromide (hydrated) arrays, nor, unlike those, does the halide (iodide) in any case enter the coordination sphere of the lanthanoid. The n = 9 phase takes the form [Ln(OH2)9]I3, the nine-coordinate lanthanoid environment stereochemistry being tricapped trigonal-prismatic, while the n = 10 phase is [Ln(OH2)8]I3.2H2O, the eight-coordinate lanthanoid environment being square-antiprismatic.

Structure Determinations

Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are recorded for (hydrated) lanthanoid(III) nitrate/2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (‘tpy’) (1 : 1) complexes; all are of the form Ln(NO3)3/tpy/H2O(1 : 1 :x), [(tpy)Ln(O2NO)2(OH2)y](NO3)(.z H2O), and form two series of compounds. For Ln = La(-)Gd, the complexes are [(tpy)Ln(O2NO)2(OH2)3](NO3), the lanthanoid atom being ten-coordinate; crystals are triclinic, P 1, a ≈ 11·8, b ≈ 11·3, c ≈ 8·9 Å, α ≈ 75, β 69, γ ≈ 89°, Z = 2 f.u., conventional R on |F| 0·045, 0·062 for No 4513, 2710 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) diffractometer reflections for Ln = La, Gd respectively.

Crystallization of the Ln = La adduct from methanol yields an adduct of La(NO3)3/tpy/MeOH (1 : 1 : 2) [(tpy)La(O2NO)3(HOMe)2] stoichiometry with 11-coordinate lanthanum. Crystals are triclinic, P 1, a 12·361(2), b 12·244(3), c 7·753(2) Å, α 96·56(2), β 103·22(2), γ 91·16(2)°, Z = 2, R 0·037 for No 6597.

Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies carried out on trivalent rare earth sulfate hydrates, Ln2(SO4)3.xH2O, crystallized at local ambience suggest the following arrays to be prevalent. For Ln = La, the nonahydrate is found, hexagonal P 63/m, with conventional R on |F| 0·023 for No 1159 ‘observed’ (I >3σ(I)) diffractometer reflections (redetermination). Although for Ln = Ce a similar structure has been previously recorded, we have obtained that adduct as the monoclinic C 2/c, Z = 4, octahydrate, a phase also found for Ln = Lu and diverse representative intermediate lanthanoids: a ≈ 13·6, b ≈ 6·6, c ≈ 18·2 Å, β ≈ 102°; for Ln = Ce (redetermination), Dy, Yb (redetermination), Lu, R was 0·022, 0·035, 0·031, 0·024 for No 3279, 2127, 3008, 3325 respectively. The structures of two lower hydrates adventitiously obtained are also recorded: the pentahydrate for Ln = Ce, monoclinic C 2/c, a 15·741(3), b 9·632(3), c 10·358(3) Å, β 119·72(2)°, Z = 4, R 0·030 for No 3372 (a redetermination), and the trihydrate for Ln = Lu, orthorhombic Cmc21, a 13·527(5), b 18·415(5), c 9·242(7) Å, Z = 8, R 0·040 for No 1743. All structures are infinite polymeric arrays, the lanthanoid atoms being bridged by sulfate ions. Studies are also recorded for the ammonium/trivalent rare earth double sulfate tetrahydrate salts, (NH4)Ln(SO4)2.4H2O, for the (hitherto) extremal members Ln = La, Tb, which are isomorphous with the previously studied Ln = Sm monoclinic P 21/c, Z = 4 array, a ≈ 6·6, b ≈ 19, c ≈ 8·8 Å, β 97°; R 0·035, 0·037 for No 3631, 3337. The array is a two-dimensional polymer, parallel to the ac plane.

Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies are recorded for some dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) solvates of bismuth(III) bromide and iodide. Colourless BiBr3.3dmso is triclinic, P-1, a 8·467(4), b 9·109(4), c 13·901(4) Å, α 76·34(4), β 76·95(4), γ 64·56(4)°, Z = 2; conventional R on |F| was 0·050 for No 2306 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The complex is mononuclear with a quasi-octahedral fac-bismuth environment, [(dmso-O)3BiBr3], isomorphous with the previously determined chloride. Orange BiI3-2dmso is triclinic, P-1, a 12·558(2), b 8·962(2), c 8·342(1) Å, α 61·85(1), β 78·27(1), γ 76·89(2)°, Z = 2 f.u., R 0·048 for No 1953. The complex is binuclear, a pair of iodide atoms bridging the two bismuth atoms, [(dmso-O)2I2Bi(µ-I)2BiI2(O-dmso)2]; the two O-dmso ligands about each six-coordinate bismuth lie trans. Red BiI3.2 ⅔ dmso is triclinic, P-1, a 16·435(6), b 14·926(2), c 12·396(3) Å, α 74·89(2), β 73·24(2), γ 79·18(2)°, Z = 6, R 0·059 for No 5858. The complex is [Bi(O-dmso)8] [Bi2I9], the eight-coordinate metal environment of the cation being, unusually, dodecahedral; in the anion a pair of quasi-octahedral six-coordinate bismuth atoms are bridged by three iodides, [I3Bi(µ-I)3BiI3]3-. Bands in the far-infrared and Raman spectra due to the v(BiX) modes are assigned and discussed in relation to the structures of the complexes. The assignment of the v(BiO) modes is discussed.
