Single crystals of (NH4)3Cu4Ho2Br13 were obtained for the first time from the reaction of CuBr with HoBr3 which was contaminated with NH4Br: cubic, space group Pn3, Z = 2, a = 1101.71(5) pm. The crystal structure may be considered as a variant of the fluorite type according to [(HoBr6)4] [(NH4)6Cu4Br)2] ≡ Ca4F8. Pure products can be prepared from the binary halides in glass ampoules at 350°C. The bromides (NH4)3Cu4M2Br13 (M = Dy-Lu, Y) and Rb3Cu4Ho2Br13 are isotypic with (NH4)3Cu4Ho2Br13.

Systematics and anomalies in the rare earth/aluminum bromide vapor complexes have been investigated by the phase equilibrium-quenching experiments. The measurements suggest that the LnAl3Br12 complexes are the predominant vapor compl

Suitable reactions in sealed Nb tubing at 850-950 °C gave good yields of a family of oligomeric cluster phases that were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction means. The basic Y16Z4 units (?4? symmetry) can be derived from 2+2 condensation of centered Y6Br12Z-type clusters or as tetracapped truncated tetrahedra Y16 that are centered by a large tetrahedral Z4. These are surrounded by 36 bromine atoms which bridge edges or cap faces of the Y16Z4 nuclei and, in part, bridge to metal atoms in other clusters. The principal bonding appears to be Y-Z and Y-Br, with weaker Y-Y (d ? 3.70 A?) and negligible Z-Z interactions. The phase Y16Br20Ru4 (P42/nnm, Z = 2; a = 11.662(1) A?, c = 16.992 (2) A?) is isostructural with Y16I20Ru4 and with the new Sc16-Br20Z4 (Z = Fe, Os). Syntheses only in the presence of Ir and ABr-YBr3 fluxes (A = K-Cs) produce Y16-Br24Ir4 (Fddd, Z = 8; a = 11.718(3) A?, b = 22.361(7) A?, c = 44.702(2) A?), in which the electron-richer Ir interstitials are compensated by four additional bromine atoms and altered bridging between macroclusters. Larger amounts of YBr3 yield a third example, Y20Br36Ir4 (Y16Br24Ir4·4YBr3, I41; a, Z = 4; a = 12.699(1) A?, c = 45.11-(1) A?). Here infinite zigzag chains of YBr6/2 octahedra that share cis edges lie between and bridge to the Y16Ir4 clusters. All of these phases contain 60-electron, closed-shell macroclusters. Y16Br20Ru4 and Y20Br36Ir4 were found to exhibit temperature-independent (Van Vleck) paramagnetism with values typical of those found for other rare-earth-metal, zirconium, niobium, and tantalum cluster halides.
