Area of Science:

  • Solid-state chemistry
  • Inorganic chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • The synthesis and structural characterization of novel Zintl phases are crucial for understanding polyanionic clusters.
  • Investigating alkali metal stannides provides insights into bonding and structural diversity in main group chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new caesium stannide compound.
  • To elucidate the crystal structure and coordination environment of the title compound.

Main Methods:

  • Crystallization from a solution in liquid ammonia.
  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
  • Characterization of atomic arrangements and coordination polyhedra.

Main Results:

  • Penta-caesium nona-stannide hydroxide tetra-ammonia was successfully synthesized.
  • The structure features a Sn9 (4-) unit adopting a monocapped quadratic anti-prism geometry.
  • A three-dimensional network is established through Cs-Sn and Cs-NH3 interactions.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals a novel structure for a caesium stannide compound.
  • The Sn9 cluster and the coordination of the hydroxide ion by caesium cations are key structural features.
  • The compound forms an extended network through specific cation-anion and cation-ammonia contacts.
