journal contribution
posted on 2004-04-19, 00:00 authored by Paul A. Maggard, John D. CorbettY5M2Te2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) have been prepared by high-temperature solid-state techniques and shown to be
isostructural and orthorhombic Cmcm (No. 63), Z = 4. The structure was established by single crystal X-ray
methods at 23 °C for M = Fe, with a = 3.9594(3) Å, b = 15.057(1) Å, and c = 15.216(1) Å. The new structure
contains zigzag chains of the late transition metal sheathed by a column of yttrium atoms that are in turn condensed
through trans vertices on the latter to yield 2D bimetallic layers separated by single layers of tellurium atoms.
Reaction of hydrogen with Y5Ni2Te2 causes a rumpling of the Y−Ni layers as determined by both single X-ray
crystal means at 23 °C and neutron powder diffraction at −259 °C for Y5Ni2Te2D0.41(1), Pnma (No. 62), Z = 4.
Lattice constants from the former study are a = 14.3678(7) Å, b = 4.0173(2) Å, and c = 15.8787(7) Å. The
hydrogen is accommodated in tetrahedral yttrium cavities generated by bending the formerly flat sheets at the
trans Y vertices. A higher hydride version also exists. Band structure calculations confirm the 2D metal-bonded
character of the compounds and also help illustrate the bonding/matrix changes that accompany the bonding of
hydrogen. The ternary structures for both Y5M2Te2 and Sc5Ni2Te2 can be derived from that of Gd3MnI3, the group
illustrating three different kinds of metal chain condensation.
