(Hg 6 As 4 )[MoCl 6 ]Cl wird aus Hg 2 Cl 2 , Hg, As und MoCl 4 in evakuierten, geschlossenen Glasampullen im Temperaturgefa È lle 450 ® 400°C in Form tiefroter, wu È rfelfo È rmiger Kristalle erhalten. (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiCl 6 ]Cl und (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiBr 6 ]Br entstehen ebenfalls in geschlossenen, evakuierten Ampullen aus Hg 2 X 2 (X = Cl, Br), Hg, As und Ti-Metall bei 275°C bzw. 245°C in Form dunkelgru È ner bzw. schwarzer Kristalle. Alle drei Substanzen sind luft-und lichtempfindlich und kristallisieren isotyp (kubisch, Pa 3, a = 1207,8(4) pm fu È r (Hg 6 As 4 )[MoCl 6 ]Cl, a = 1209,4(3) pm fu È r (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiCl 6 ]Cl, a = 1230,9(3) pm fu È r (Hg 6 As 4 )-[TiBr 6 ]Br, Z = 4). Die Strukturen bestehen aus einem dreidimensional verknu È pften Hg±As-Geru È st, das aus As 2 -Gruppen (As±As-Abstand im Mittel 242 pm) aufgebaut ist, die jeweils u È ber sechs Hg-Atome mit sechs weiteren As 2 -Gruppen verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise entstehen in dem polykationischen (Hg 6 As 4 )-Geru È st Hohlra È ume, deren eine, gro È ûere Sorte mit oktaederfo È rmigen [MoCl 6 ] 3± , [TiCl 6 ] 3± bzw.[TiBr 6 ] 3± -Ionen und deren zweite, kleinere Sorte mit diskreten Halogenid-Ionen gefu È llt ist. Die magnetischen Eigenschaften der beiden Ti-haltigen Substanzen lassen sich mit einem d 1 -Paramagnetismus und der Beru È cksichtigung der Spin-Bahn-Kopplung nach Figgis deuten. Fu È r die Vertreter dieses Strukturtyps ergibt sich die ionische Formulierung (Hg 6 Y 4 ) 4+ [MX 6 ] 3± X ± (Y = As, Sb; M = Sb 3+ , Bi 3+ , Mo 3+ , Ti 3+ ; X = Cl, Br).
Polycationic Hg±As Frameworks with Trapped Anions. II [1]Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetism of (Hg 6 As 4 )[MoCl 6 ]Cl, (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiCl 6 ]Cl, and (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiBr 6 ]Br Abstract. (Hg 6 As 4 )[MoCl 6 ]Cl is obtained by reaction of Hg 2 Cl 2 , Hg, As, and MoCl 4 in closed, evacuated glass ampoules in a temperature gradient 450 ® 400°C in form of dark red cubelike crystals. (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiCl 6 ]Cl and (Hg 6 As 4 )-[TiBr 6 ]Br are also formed in closed, evacuated ampoules from Hg 2 X 2 (X = Cl, Br), Hg, As, and Ti metal at 275°C and 245°C in form of dark green and black crystals, respectively. All three compounds are air and light sensitive. They crystallize isotypically (cubic, Pa 3, a = 1207.8(4) pm for (Hg 6 As 4 )-[MoCl 6 ]Cl, a = 1209.4(3) pm for (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiCl 6 ]Cl, a = 1230.9(3) pm for (Hg 6 As 4 )[TiBr 6 ]Br, Z = 4). The structures consist of a three-dimensionally connected Hg±As framework which is made up of As 2 groups (As±As distance averaged 242 pm) each connected via six Hg atoms to six neighbouring As 2 groups. There are two cavities of different size in the polycationic framework. The bigger cavity is filled with [MoCl 6 ] 3± , [TiCl 6 ] 3± , and [TiBr 6 ] 3± ions of nearly ideal octahedral shape, the smaller cavity with discrete halide ions. The magnetic properties of the two Ti containing compounds are in accordance with a d 1 paramagnetism. The temperature dependence and the magnitude of the magne...
