Crystal structure of hexaaquadichloridoytterbium(III) chloride

The crystal structure of the title compound, [YbCl2(H2O)6]Cl, was determined at 110 K. Samples were obtained from evaporated acetonitrile solutions containing the title compound, which consists of a [YbCl2(H2O)6]+ cation and a Cl− anion. The cations in the title compound sit on a twofold axis and fo...

Description
Summary:The crystal structure of the title compound, [YbCl2(H2O)6]Cl, was determined at 110 K. Samples were obtained from evaporated acetonitrile solutions containing the title compound, which consists of a [YbCl2(H2O)6]+ cation and a Cl− anion. The cations in the title compound sit on a twofold axis and form O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds with the nearby Cl− anion. The coordination geometry around the metal centre forms a distorted square antiprism. The ytterbium complex is isotypic with the europium complex [Tambrornino et al. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, i27].
