Crystal structure of Cs[Gd(H2O)4Re6Te 8(CN)6]•4H2O

Abstract

The structure of the salt Cs[Gd(H2O)4Re 6Te8(CN)6]•4H2O (space group P-1, a = 9.436(5) Å, b = 12.365(7) Å, c = 15.187(8)Å, α = 89.104(10)°, β = 86.996(10)°, γ = 82.304(9)°) has been established by single crystal XRD. The structure of the compound features layers involving Gd3+ cations bound to cluster anions [Re 6Te8(CN)6]4- through cyanide groups. The interlayer space contains cesium cations and crystallization water molecules. © 2008 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
