Abstract

The first chainlike germanate, [Ge7O13(OH) 2F3]3-·Cl·2[Ni(dien) 2]2+, has been solvothermally synthesized by using Ni(dien)22+ cations as the template and characterized by IR, SEM, TGA, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA), elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, respectively. This compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2/n with a = 8.8904(2) Å, b = 17.4374(3) Å, c = 13.2110(3) Å, β = 101.352(1)°, V = 2007.97(7) Å3, and Z = 2. Interestingly, the structure contains two types of chiral mer-[Ni(dien)2] 2+ cations and two types of chiral chains, one left-handed and the other right-handed, which lead to a racemic compound. The orderly separation of achiral s-fac-[Ni(dien)2]2+ and chiral mer-[Ni(dien) 2]2+ isomers was found in the structure. The structure is stabilized by N-H⋯O(F, Cl) hydrogen bonds.
