2,2′,2′′-Nitrilotris(ethylammonium) tetra­thio­anti­monate

M. Poisot, C. Näther and W. Bensch
The crystal structure of the title compound, (C6H21N4)[SbS4], consists of discrete tetra­hedral [SbS4]3− anions and discrete tris­(2-ethyl­ammonium)amine cations. There are two crystallographically independent cations and anions in the asymmetric unit, all of them located in general positions. The cations and anions are connected by N—H...S hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

During the last decade numerous thioantimonate(III) compounds were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. An intriguing observation is that in the overwhelming cases Sb(III)Sx (x = 3 - 6) are observed and the number of compounds containing Sb(V)S4 is comparably low. Some examples for thioantimonate(V) compounds are (C3H10N)[NiSbS4(C6H18N4)] (Stähler & Bensch, 2002), K3SbS4 (Graf & Schäfer, 1976), (NH4)3SbS4 (Graf et al., 1969), Na3SbS4 × 9 H2O (Mereiter et al., 1979), KAg2SbS4 (Schimek et al., 1996), Rb3SbS4 (Bensch & Dürichen, 1996), Cr(en)3SbS4 (Schur et al., 1998), [Ni(en)3]2SbS4NO3 (en = ethylenediamine) (Schur & Bensch, 2000), [Mn(C6H14N2)3]2[Mn(C6H14N2)2(SbS4)2] × 6 H2O and [Mn(tren)(trenH)]SbS4 (tren = tris(2-ethyl)amine)(Schaefer et al., 2003), [Ni(en)3(enH)]SbS4 (Jia et al., 2004), [Sm(en)4]SbS4 × 0.5 en (Jia, Zhu et al., 2005), [Ln(en)3(H2O)x(µ3 - xSbS4)] (Ln = La, x = 0; Ln = Nd, x = 1) and [Ln(en)4]SbS4 × 0.5en (Ln = Eu, Dy, Yb) (Jia, Zhao et al., 2005. There is also one example where Sb(III) and Sb(V) species coexist in a common anion, i.e., in [Ni(dien)2]2Sb4S9 (R. Stähler et al., 2002). During our ongoing work in the field of solvothermal syntheses of new thioantimonates the title compound was prepared. In the crystal structure of (C6H21N4)SbS4, discrete tetrathioantimonate anions and tris(2-ethylammonium)amine cations coexist. There are two crystallographically independent cations and anions in the asymmetric unit, all of them located in general positions (Fig. 1). The tetrathioantimonate anions show slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry (Table 1), but the values are in the range reported for the above mentioned compounds containing this anion. The tetrathioantimonate anions and the organic cations are arranged in layers, which are parallel to the a b plane (Fig. 2). These layers are interconnected by intermolecular N—H···S hydrogen bonding (Table 2). The Sb(1)S4 anion has two such S···H contacts to the first and four contacts to the second crystallographically independent cation, whereas for the Sb(2)S4 anion it is the other way around.

Experimental top

A mixture of 0.5 mmol MnSb2S4, 0.5 mmol (NH4)2MoS4, 3 mmol S and 5 ml concentrated tris(2-aminoethyl)amine were heated at 413 K for 7 d followed by cooling to room temperature. The product was identified by X-ray powder diffraction and contained two different phases in approximately equivalent amount: red crystals of [Mn(tren)(trenH)]SbS4 (tren = tris(2-ethyl)amine)(Schaefer et al., 2003), and yellow crystals of the title compound.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms were positioned with idealized geometry (amine H atoms allowed to rotate but not to tip) and were refined with fixed isotropic displacement parameters (Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C)) or 1.5 Ueq(N)) using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.97 Å and d(N—H) = 0.89 Å. In this structure a pseudo mirror plane and a pseudo center of symmetry are found, but refinement of the structure in the centrosymmetric space group Pnma was not successful and leads to pronounced disorder. The absolue structure was determined on the basis of 544 Friedel pairs.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
