Abstract

Co3(C2O4)(SeO3)2 and Zn(C2O4) · 2H2O were synthesized investigating the reaction products of Fe(C2O4) · 2H2O and SeO2 combined with transition metal elements at low-hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structures were determined by direct methods from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Co3(C2O4) (SeO3)2: space group C2/m, Z = 2, a = 9.163(2) Å, b = 6.513(2) Å, c = 7.806(2) Å, β = 117.14(2)°, V = 414.6(2) Å3, R1 = 0.023. Zn(C2O4) · 2H2O: space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 11.812(3) Å, b = 5.402(1) Å, c = 9.919(2) Å, β = 127.72(1)°, V = 500.6(1) Å3; R1 = 0.029. Both compounds consist of MO6 octahedra (M = Co, Zn), linked via the oxalate groups to chainlike subunits. These are further combined via additional CoO6 octahedra and the trigonal pyramidal selenite group or via hydrogen bonds, respectively. Mean bond lengths are 2.119 Å and 2.099 Å for Co[6]–O, 1.701 Å for Se(IV)[3]–O and 2.094 Å for Zn[6]–O.
