Two extended metal chain compounds, Y/sub 4/I/sub 5/C and Y/sub 6/I/sub 7/C/sub 2/. Synthesis, structure, properties, and bonding
Abstract
The title phases are obtained in high yield from the reactions of stoichiometric quantities of Y, YI/sub 3/, and graphite at 850-950/degree/C in welded Nb containers. The crystal structures of the two phases determined by standard x-ray diffraction means are related to those published for Er/sub 4/I/sub 5/ and Er/sub 6/I/sub 7/ (C2/m, Z = 2, /alpha/ = 18.479 (6) and 21.557 (8) /angstrom/, b = 3.947 (1) and 3.909 (1) /angstrom/, c = 8.472 (3) and 12.374 (6) /angstrom/, /beta/ = 103.22 (4) and 123.55 (3)/degree/, R/R/sub w/ = 4.6/5.4 and 3.2/3.7% for Y/sub 4/I/sub 5/C and Y/sub 6/I/sub 7/C/sub 2/, respectively). The two compounds contain infinite single and double chains of carbon-centered yttrium octahedra, respectively, condensed by edge-sharing and sheathed by edge-bridging iodine atoms together with square-planar iodine atoms that bridge between chains. Extended Hueckel MO band calculations were carried out for the empty and the carbon-centered compounds in both structures. Metal-based bands near E/sub F/ in the empty chains exhibit characteristic strong interactions with carbon valence orbitals that generate low-lying valence bands. E/sub F/ in both cases falls within a broad, metal-based conduction band. Resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements on Y/sub 6/I/sub 7/C/sub 2/ support the predictedmore »
