Abstract

Pale pink crystals of Nd2(SeO3)2(SeO 4)·2H2O were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions from H2SeO3 and Nd2O3 at about 200°C. X-ray diffraction on powder and single-crystals revealed that the compound crystallizes with the monoclinic space group C 2/c (a = 12.276(1) Å, b = 7.0783(5) Å, c = 13.329(1) Å, β = 104.276(7)°). The crystal structure of Nd2(SeO3) 2(SeO4)·2H2O is an ordered variant of the corresponding erbium compound. Eight oxygen atoms coordinate the Nd III atom in the shape of a bi-capped trigonal prism. The oxygen atoms are part of pyramidal (SeIVO3)2- groups, (SeVIO4)2- tetrahedra and water molecules. The [NdO8] polyhedra share edges to form chains oriented along [010]. The selenate ions link these chains into layers parallel to (001). The layers are interconnected by the selenite ions into a three-dimensional framework. The dehydration of Nd2(SeO3)2(SeO 4)·2H2O starts at 260°C. The thermal decomposition into Nd2SeO5, SeO2 and O 2 at 680°C is followed by further loss of SeO2 leaving cubic Nd2O3.
