Abstract Single crystals of Na2La4(NH2)14·NH3 were obtained from supercritical ammonia under ammonobasic conditions at a temperature of 573 K and 120 MPa pressure. It represents a lanthanum-rich intermediate in the ammonothermal synthesis of LaN. Upon aging, the title compound loses the crystal ammonia, resulting in pale crystals of Na2La4(NH2)14, the original space group P212121 being retained in a very similar unit cell. However, the crystal structure reacts to subtle changes in the composition as well as to the modified coordination of particularly the sodium cations interconnecting lanthanum amide layers within a third dimension. Results of Raman spectroscopic studies are reported. The observations of thermal analysis measurements indicating the formation of lanthanum nitride, in combination with the observed retrograde solubility in liquid ammonia, contribute to the knowledge of the ammonothermal crystal growth of lanthanum nitride.

The synthesis of RbHCN2 was carried out by reaction of cyanamide with rubidium amide in liquid ammonia. The crystal structure has been determinedo by x-ray powder methods (orthorhombic, P21,21,21, a = 7.299(1), b = 9.435(1), c = 9.420(1) Å; Z = 8). The anion is slightly bent (174°) and exhibits two different bond lengths (C-N: 1.17, HN-C: 1.31 Å).

Lithium ozonide has been synthezised starting from cesium ozonide via cation exchange in liquid ammonia and crystallizes at -78°C as an ammoniate, LiO3 · 5NH3. The coarse, ruby red crystals decompose above the boiling temperature of ammonia and are extremely sensitive to moisture. The crystal structure of L iO3 · 5NH3 (P c21n; a = 1231.9(5), b = 637.4(2), c = 1104.8(4) pm; Z = 4; R1 = 4.57%; 1318 independent reflections) consists of lithium tetramine complexes, ozonide anions and non coordinating ammonia molecules. With respect to the arrangement of the complex cations and of the anions there is similarity to the WC type of structure. The central oxygen atom of the ozonide anion is disordered.

AbstractPolycrystalline samples of La- and Lu-agardite with the composition RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) have been prepared and the structure of the products was determined by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The characterization has been complemented by Raman and UV/Vis spectroscopic, magnetic and TGA investigations. DFT calculations support the conclusions drawn from the experiments. The arsenates RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) are isostructural with the mineral mixite and crystallize with a hexagonal structure which contains ribbons of edge-sharing [CuO5] square-pyramids extending along the hexagonal axis. They are interconnected via (AsO4)3− groups to form hexagonal tubes of about 10 Å inner diameter. Such zeolite-like tubes host water molecules, which can be reversibly removed at moderate temperatures (T≈100°C). Like in mixite and YCu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · 3 H2O, the Cu2+ cations in RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) exhibit low-dimensional antiferromagnetic properties, which are subject to changes in the Cu–O–Cu bond lengths and angles due to the lanthanide contraction.
