Abstract:
New representatives of the A2M3(SO4)4 (A = Rb and Cs, M = Co, Ni) family were found, inspired by the discovery and characterization of itelmenite, a mineral of composition Na2CuMg2(SO4)4. Four new compounds were obtained by high-temperature solid-state reactions in air. All new compounds were structurally characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Rb2Ni3(SO4)4 and Rb2Co3(SO4)4 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c, Cs2Ni3(SO4)4 in P21/n whereas Rb2Co3(SO4)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121. In order to determine the temperature of crystallization of the new phases DTA and TG were performed for the mixtures of the precursors. Several synthesis strategies were tested and discussed. The investigation of the reactivity upon heating highlights the stability of the precursors before they collapse, explaining the difficulties to get pure powder samples.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
