Die Kristallstrukturen der Dysprosium-Komplexe [DyCl3(DME)2] und [DyCl2(THF)5]+[DyCl4(THF)2]- / Crystal Structures of the Dysprosium Complexes [DyCl3(DME)2] and [DyCl2(THF)5]+[DyCl4(THF)2]-

Abstract

Abstract [DyCl3(DME)2] (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) has been prepared from the known tetrahy-drofuran complex [Dy2Cl6(THF)7] in boiling DME. Both complexes were characterized by structure determinations. [DyCl3(DME)2]: Space group P21/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at -70 °C: a = 1141.9(6), b = 884.2(4), c = 1558.3(6) pm, β = 104.83(4)°. The complex has a molecular structure with a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry in which the oxygen atoms of the chelating DME molecules and one chlorine atom occupy the pentagonal plane. [DyCl2(THF)5]+[DyCl4(THF)2]-: Space group C2/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at -70 °C: a -1241.4(9), b = 1139.4(6), c = 2735.1(19) pm, β = 91.19(4)°. The complex contains a seven-coordinate cation with axial chloride ligands in a pentagonal bipyramidal structure and a six-coordinate anion with a trans octahedral geometry.
