Die Kristallstruktur von Gadolinium (III)-sulfit Trihydrat Gd2(S03)3∙ 3H2O / Crystal Structure of Gadolinium(III)-sulfite Trihydrate Gd2(SO3)3 ∙3H2O

Abstract

Abstract Gd2(SO3)3 • 3 H20 is obtained by passing gaseous SO2 through a suspension of Gd2O3 in H2O at room temperature until a clear solution is formed. Single crystals are obtained by heating to 70(2) °C for 6 days. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 6.499(6), b = 6.621(3), c = 6.954(3) Å, α = 110.71(5), β = 90.54(3), γ = 106.05(1)° and Z = 1. The two crystallographically different gadolinium atoms are both coordinated by eight oxygen atoms forming distorted square antiprisms. Gd(l) is coordinated by six O atoms of sulfite ligands and two O atoms of water, while Gd(2) is surrounded by seven O atoms of SO3 and one of H2O. Gd-O-bond lengths vary between 2.31(3) and 2.50(3) Å.
