Phase transition and structures of the twinned low-temperature phases of (Et4N)[ReS4].


ABSTRACT: The title compound, tetraethylammonium tetrathiorhenate, [(C2H5)4N][ReS4], has, at room temperature, a disordered structure in the space group P63mc (Z = 2, ?-phase). A phase transition to the monoclinic space group P21 (Z = 2, ?-phase) at 285?K leads to a pseudo-merohedral twin. The high deviation from the hexagonal metric causes split reflections. However, the different orientations could not be separated, but were integrated using a large integration box. Rapid cooling to 110-170?K produces a metastable ?-phase (P63, Z = 18) in addition to the ?-phase. All crystals of the ?-phase are contaminated with the ?-phase. Additionally, the crystals of the ?-phase are merohedrally twinned. In contrast to the ?-phase, the ?- and ?-phases do not show disorder.

The title compound, tetraethylammonium tetrathiorhenate, [(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>4</sub>N][ReS<sub>4</sub>], has, at room temperature, a disordered structure in the space group P6<sub>3</sub>mc (Z = 2, α-phase). A phase transition to the monoclinic space group P2<sub>1</sub> (Z = 2, γ-phase) at 285 K leads to a pseudo-merohedral twin. The high deviation from the hexagonal metric causes split reflections. However, the different orientations could not be separated, but were integrated us  ...[more]
