Abstract
The two title compounds have been prepared by reaction of appropriate mixtures of the elements in ethylenediamine. The structures have been determined on the basis of single crystal data. [Ba(en)3]Te3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 918.0(4), b = 1203.7(6), c = 1639.9(6) pm, β = 93.4(1)°. In the structure there are bent tritelluride anions Te32- (bond lengths 273.9-278.5 pm, bond angle 105.7°). The Ba2+ cations are six coordinate by the bidentate ligand ethylenediamine. [Ba(en)4,5]Te3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group Cc with a = 1752.8(6), b = 938.9(4), c = 3041.7(8) pm, β = 91.3(1)°. In this structure the bond lengths in the Te32- anions are shorter (272.1-273.1 pm, bond angles 110.9-112.2°). The cations are coordinated by four bidentate ligands, and are connected into pairs by a further ethylenediamine molecule. The resulting dinuclear [Ba(en)4]en[Ba(en)4]4+ units have the Ba2+ cations in CN 9.
