Abstract

Crystals of Hg<subscript>2</subscript>[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>]<subscript>2</subscript> were grown by a slow diffusion-reaction between aqueous Hg<subscript>2</subscript>(NO<subscript>3</subscript>)<subscript>2</subscript>·2H<subscript>2</subscript>O and Na[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>]. Hg<subscript>2</subscript>[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>]<subscript>2</subscript> adopts the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ (no. 2) with a = 3.7089(5), b = 6.4098(6), c = 8.150(6) Å, α = 81.575(6)°, β = 80.379(7)°, γ = 80.195(7)°, and Z = 1. Crystals of Tl[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>] were obtained from the reaction of TlBr with Ag[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>] in water. Single-crystal structure analyses evidence that Tl[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>] is isotypic to α-K[N(CN)<subscript>2</subscript>] and adopts the orthorhombic space group Pbcm (no. 57) with a = 8.5770(17), b = 6.4756(13), c = 7.2306(14) Å, and Z = 4. Regarding volume chemistry, the dicyanamide anion occupies ca. 44 cm<superscript>3</superscript>·mol<superscript>−1</superscript>, and so it corresponds to a large pseudohalide. The IR spectra of both compounds exhibit vibrational modes that are characteristic of the dicyanamide anion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
