It was possible to synthesize colorless single crystals of La5Cl3[SbO3]4 (block-shaped) as well as La2Sb12O19Br4 and LaSb12O19I4 (both needle-shaped), representing three new compounds from the system of lanthanum oxoantimonate(III) halides, which have not been described in the literature before. La5Cl3[SbO3]4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with the lattice parameters a = 895.82(5) pm, b = 564.28(3) pm, c = 1728.19(9) pm, and β = 90.007(2)° for Z = 2. This layered compound contains isolated ψ1-tetrahedral [SbO3]3– units, square hemiprisms [LaO8]13–, and antiprisms [LaO4Cl4]9−. La2Sb12O19Br4 and LaSb12O19I4 crystallize isotypically in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 3184.69(19) pm, b = 417.78(3) pm, c = 1019.85(6) pm for the bromide and a = 3215.08(19) pm, b = 419.94(3) pm, c = 1062.89(6) pm for the iodide. Instead of isolated [SbO3]3− anions, semi-tubular features 1∞{[Sb12O19]2−} are present, which consist mainly of [SbO4]5− and few [SbO3]3− units with stereochemically active electronic lone pairs at their Sb3+ centers. Within these so-called “double-halfpipes”, La3+ is surrounded by nine oxygen atoms as [LaO9]15– polyhedron without any contact with X− anions. Single-crystal Raman measurements were performed for La5Cl3[SbO3]4 and LaSb12O19I4, and La5Cl3[SbO3]4 was structurally compared with the isostoichiometric, but not isotypic La5F3[SbO3]4.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
