Synthesen, Kristallstrukturen und Eigenschaften von Trisilber-und Trikalium-tri-μ-imido-cyclotriphosphat, Ag3(PO2NH)3 und K3(PO2NH)3 / Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Properties of Trisilver and Tripotassium Tri-μ-im ido Cyclotriphosphate, Ag3(PO2NH)3 and K3(PO2NH)3

Abstract

Abstract Coarse crystalline Ag3(PO2NH)3 (1) and K3(PO2NH)3 (2) are obtained by addition of an aqueous solution of AgNO3 to an acidified solution of Na3(PO2NH)3 · 4H2O and by diffusion controlled addition of ethanol to a solution of K3(PO2NH)3 in water, respectively. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray methods (Ag3(PO2NH)3: P21/c; a = 1166.6(1), b = 786.4(1), c = 997.8(1) pm, β = 106.91(1)°; Z = 4. K3(PO2NH)3: R3̄; a = 1271.4(2), c = 1017.9(2) pm, Z = 6). In Ag3(PO2NH)3 the cyclic anion is markedly distorted because of interactions between Ag+ and one nitrogen atom of the anion. In K3(PO2NH)3 the trimetaphosphimate ring shows a chair conformation and two cyclic anions are connected to each other by hydrogen bonds. DTA/TG investigations show thermal decomposition above 275 and 250 °C for 1 and 2, respectively.
