Crystal Structures of the Trifluoromethyl Sulfonates M(SO3CF3)2 (M = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cu) from Synchrotron X-ray Powder Diffraction Data

Journal Article · · Acta Cryst. B
The crystal structures of divalent metal salts of trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid ('trifluoromethyl sulfonates') M(SO{sub 3}CF{sub 3}){sub 2} (M = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cu) were determined from high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction data. Magnesium, calcium and zinc trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R{bar 3}. Barium trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a(C2/c) and copper trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallizes in the triclinic group P{bar 1}. Within the crystal structures the trifluoromethyl sulfonate anions are arranged in double layers with the apolar CF{sub 3} groups pointing towards each other. The cations are located next to the SO{sub 3} groups. The symmetry relations between the different crystal structures have been analyzed.
