Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18 and [Er10(C2)2]Br18: Two New Examples for Reduced Halides of the Lanthanides with Isolated [M10(C2)2] ClustersCs[Er10(C2)2]I18 is obtained from the reaction of ErI3 with caesium and carbon in sealed tantalum containers at 700°C and [Er10(C2)2]Br18 through the metallothermic reduction of ErBr3 with rubidium in the presence of carbon at 750°C in sealed niobium containers. The crystal structures {Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18: triclinic, P1; a = 1 105.2(8) pm, b = 1 112.0(7) pm; c = 1 122.9(8) pm; α = 66.91(3)°, β = 87.14(3)°; γ = 60.80(3)°; Z = 1; R = 0.049, Rw = 0.043; [Er10(C2)2]Br18: monoclinic, P21/n, a = 971.8(6) pm, b = 1 623.4(9) pm, c = 1 163.8(6) pm, β = 104.00(6)°; Z = 2; R = 0.077, Rw = 0.057} contain isolated dimeric [Er10(C2)2] clusters. Due to the inclusion of C2 units, the octahedra are elongated in the direction of the pseudo C4 axis. The connecting edges of the two octahedra are exceptionally short (316.7 pm and 314.8 pm respectively). The dimeric units are connected via Xi-a and Xa-i (X = Br, I) bridges according to [Er10(C2)2X10iX8/2i-a]X8/2a-i. Cs+ is surrounded by a cuboctahedron of iodide ions in Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18.
Notes:
Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18 entsteht bei der Umsetzung von Erl3 mit Caesium und Kohlenstoff in verschweißten Tantalampullen bei 700°C, [Er10(C2)2]Br18 bei der metallothermischen Reduktion von ErBr3 mit Rubidium in Gegenwart von Kohlenstoff bei 750°C in verschweißten Niobampullen. Die Kristallstrukturen {Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18: triklin, P1; a = 1 105,2(8) pm; b = 1 112,0(7) pm; c = 1 122,9(7) pm; α = 66,91(3)°; β = 87,14(3)°; γ = 60,80(3)°; Z = 1; R = 0,049, Rw = 0,043; [Er10(C2)2]Br18: monoklin, P21/n; a = 971,8(6); b = 1 623,4(9); c = 1 163,8(6); β = 104,00(6)°; Z = 2; R = 0,077, Rw = 0,057} beinhalten isolierte dimere [Er10(C2)2]-Cluster. Wegen des Einbaus der C2-Hantel sind die Oktaeder entlang ihrer pseudovierzähligen Achse gestreckt. Die verknüpfenden Oktaederkanten weisen einen besonders kurzen Metall-Metall-Abstand auf (316,7 bzw. 314,8 pm). Die dimeren Einheiten sind über Xi-a bzw. Xa-i-Brücken (X = Br, I) miteinander verknüpft, gemäß [Er10(C2)2X10iX8/2i-a]X8/2a-i. Cs+ ist in Cs[Er10(C2)2]I18 kuboktaederisch von Iodidionen umgeben.
