Abstract
Two rare earth metal thioantimonates [RE(en)4]SbS4·0.5en (RE = Y(1), Tm(2); en = ethylenediamine) were synthesized under mild solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, and both crystallize in monoclinic space group P21/n. Crystallographic data for 1: a = 11.0894(19), b = 12.905(2), c = 16.000(3) Å, β = 91.792(4), V = 2288.7(7) Å3, Z = 4. For 2: a = 11.0870(14), b = 12.8977(16), c = 15.986(2) Å, β = 91.879(3), V = 2284.7(5) Å3, Z = 4. The four-en coordinated rare earth complex cation [RE(en)4]3+ formed in situ balances the charge of the [SbS4]3− anion in the crystal structure. The RE3+ ion is in an eight-coordinated environment involving eight N atoms of four en ligands forming a bicapped trigonal prism. Hydrogen bonds link [RE(en)4]3+, [SbS4]3− and en species into a three-dimensional structure. The structure determination of 1 and 2 implies that the ionic radii of rare earth metal ions play an important role on the structures of the rare earth metal thioantimonates.
