Coppery-red, transparent single crystals of (Ba6N5/6)2[NbN4][CN2]6 (Im¯3, no. 204, a =1125.83(3) pm, Z = 2) are obtained by the reaction of Ba2N and ZnCN2 with the container walls of the arc-welded Nb ampoules at 1100 K. The title compound assumes a stuffed skutterudite-type structure in which edge-sharing (Ba6N5/6) octahedra form large voids which are occupied by either [NbN4] tetrahedra or by [N=C=N]2− units with symmetric C=N bond lengths of d = 121.8(6) pm but a bond angle deviating significantly from linearity (∡ (N-C-N) = 175.3(9)°). The IR spectra corroborate this crystallographic result by the fact that all fundamental vibrations are visible in the IR spectrum [ν1 = 1262 (symmetric stretching mode); ν2 = 1957/2009 (antisymmetric stretching mode); ν3 = 611/633/653 cm−1 (bending modes)], which is symmetry forbidden for [N=C=N]2− units having D∞h symmetry but expected for the C2v symmetry found in the title compound.

Abstract Red-orange, transparent single crystals of Yb2[CN2]3 [trigonal, R3̄c (no. 167), a = 630.02(3) and c = 2947.4(2) pm, Z = 6] are obtained by the reaction of Yb, Sn, Zn[CN2] and NaN3 in arc-welded Nb ampoules at 1100 K. The title compound exhibits characteristic C-N bond lengths and angles [d(C-N) = 122.7(3) pm and ∡(N-C-N) = 178.4(5)°, respectively] within the [N=C=N]2− unit as well as the expected fundamental frequencies in its optical spectra (Raman: νs = 1338; δ = 643 / 683 / 695 cm−1; IR: νas = 2005 / 2037; δ = 640 / 679 cm−1). Since Yb2[CN2]3 adopts a corundum-type structure, Yb3+ is octahedrally coordinated by six N atoms of different [CN2]2− anions [d(Yb-N) = 228.6(3) and 233.4(3) pm, 3× each] and every [CN2]2− group has four Yb3+ as next neighbours which form a distorted tetrahedron.

Colorless, transparent single crystals of CaBa8[CN2]6O2(N0.5H0.5) (R3̄ (no. 148), a = 996.94(4) and c = 1803.18(8) pm, Z = 3) were obtained by the reaction of Ca3N2, Ba2N and NaHCN2 (of which one of the latter two most likely was contaminated with some oxygen impurity) in arcwelded Nb ampoules at 1200 K. The title compound consists of distorted (H/N)Ba6 octahedra which share two of their opposite faces with OBa4 tetrahedra interconnected by [N=C=N]2- units of Ca(N=C=N)6 octahedra with C=N bond lengths of 121.9(6) and 124.3(6) pm and with a bond angle deviating from linearity with (N-C-N) = 175:9(5)°. A Raman spectrum obtained from the crystal used for the structure determination indicates the presence of the [N=C=N]2- unit.

Abstract The title compound has been prepared by the reaction of N-trimethylsilyl-iminotriphenylphos-phorane with copper(II) chloride in boiling CCl4 /C2H5OH, and forms moisture sensitive crystals, which are green in transmittance and black in reflexion. [Me3SiNPPh3 · CuCl2 ] 2 was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by a crystal structure determination (4197 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.049). The lattice dimensions are at 20 °C: a = 1102.7. b = 1407.3. c = 1560.2 pm; β = 94.27°; space group P21/n with two formula units in the unit cell. The complex consists of centrosymmetric, dimeric molecules with a planar Cu2 Cl2 ring (Cu-CI bond lengths 229 and 231 pm). A terminally bonded CI atom (Cu-CI = 221 pm) and the N atom of the Me3SiNPPh3 ligand (Cu-N = 198.5 pm) complete the coordination number four of the nearly planar surroundings of the Cu atoms.

Abstract Pale yellow crystals of the title compound were obtained by reacting an intimate mixture of K2S, K2S2O4, Ti and S at 650 °C. K6Ti2OS6 is monoclinic, mP60, s. g. P21/c. It is characterized by the formation of bitetrahedral complex anions, [S3TiOTiS3]6−, which adopt a staggered conformation. The mean Ti-S and Ti-O bond lengths are 2.242(1) and 1.836(2) Å , respectively, the Ti-O-Ti bond angle is 153.8(2)°. Two K+ ions complete the coordination of the bridging oxygen atom by the cations to a heavily distorted tetrahedral configuration. The anions are arranged in corrugated slabs running parallel to (100). The packing and crystallographic relationship to K6Co2O7 are discussed.

Colorless and transparent single crystals of Ba2H3I were obtained by reacting Ba with dried and sublimed NH4I in a 4 : 1 molar ratio in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules at 1100 K for 13 h. The crystal structure of the title compound was determined and refined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ba2H3I crystallizes in a stuffed anti-CdI2 structure isotypic to Sr2H3I in the space group P3̄m1 (no. 164) with the lattice parameters a = 451.86(12) and c = 811.84(23) pm. The structural results for Ba2H3I are consistent with bond lengths and coordination geometries of related binary and ternary hydrides

The title compound, [Ag(C9H10NO3)]n, is a polymeric silver(I) complex of L-tyrosine. The AgIatom is connected to N and O atoms of two different L-tyrosine ligands in an almost linear arrangement, with an Ni—Ag—O1 bond angle of 173.4 (2)° [symmetry code: (i)x + 1,y,z]. The Ag—Niand Ag—O bond lengths are 2.156 (5) and 2.162 (4) Å, respectively. The polymeric chains extend along the crystallographicaaxis. Strong hydrogen bonds of the N—H...O and O—H...O types and additional C—H...O interactions connect these chains into a double-layer polymeric network in theabplane.

The title compound was prepared from the elemental components in a tantalum tube at 1070 K and investigated by X-ray diffraction of both powder as well as single crystals. The crystal structure was refined from four-circle diffractometer data: P21/n, a = 618.1(1), b = 613.6(1), c = 743.9(1) pm, β = 109.40(1)°, V = 0.2661(1) nm3, Z = 4, wR2 = 0.0536 for 1564 F2 values and 29 variables. EuPdGe crystallizes with the EuNiGe type structure. Both Pd and Ge atoms in EuPdGe have three germanium or palladium neighbors, respectively. They form two-dimensionally infinite [PdGe] polyanions which consist of corrugated 4.82 nets. These polyanions are separated by the europium atoms.
