Abstract
Very large high-quality crystals of a new member of the family of double nitrates, namely, [La(NO3)6]2[Ni(H2O)6]3·6H2O, were crystallized in large amounts. The structure was determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction to high resolution. Extensive structural information, including hydrogen-bonding details, was obtained at the same time.
This study introduces bis[hexakis(nitrato-κ2O,O′)lanthanum(III)] tris[hexaaquanickel(II)] hexahydrate, [La(NO3)6]2[Ni(H2O)6]3·6H2O, with a structure refined in the hexagonal space group R . The salt comprises [La(NO3)6]3− icosahedra and [Ni(H2O)6]2+ octahedra, thus forming an intricate network of interpenetrating honeycomb lattices arranged in layers. This arrangement is stabilized through strong hydrogen bonds. Two successive layers are connected via the second [Ni(H2O)6]2+ octahedra, forming sheets which are stacked perpendicular to the c axis and held in the crystal by van der Waals forces. The synthesis of [La(NO3)6]2[Ni(H2O)6]3·6H2O involves dissolving lanthanum(III) and nickel(II) oxides in nitric acid, followed by slow evaporation, yielding green hexagonal plate-like crystals.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
