Potassium, Cesium, and Ammonium Peroxogermanates with Inorganic Hexanuclear Peroxo Bridged Germanium Anion Isolated from Aqueous Solution
文摘
Potassium (K6[Ge6(渭-OO)6(渭-O)6(OH)6]路14H2O, 1), cesium ammonium (Cs4.2(NH4)1.8[Ge6(渭-OO)6(渭-O)6(OH)6]路8H2O, 2), and potassium ammonium (K2.4(NH4)3.6[Ge6(渭-OO)6(渭-O)6(OH)6]路6H2O, 3) peroxogermanates were isolated from 3% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solutions of the corresponding hydroxogermanates and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies and by Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The crystal structure of all three compounds consists of cations of potassium and/or ammonium and cesium, water molecules, and centrosymmetric hexanuclear peroxogermanate anion [Ge6(渭-OO)6(渭-O)6(OH)6]6鈥?/sup> with six 渭-oxo- and six 渭-peroxo groups. Peroxogermanates demonstrate relatively high thermal stability: the peroxide remains in the structure even after water release after heating to 100鈥?20 掳C. DFT calculations of the peroxogermanate [Ge6(渭-OO)6(渭-O)6(OH)6]6鈥?/sup> anion confirm its higher thermodynamic stability compared to the hydroperoxo- and oxogermanate analogues.
