Structures of dipotassium rubidium citrate monohydrate, K2RbC6H5O7(H2O), and potassium dirubidium citrate monohydrate, KRb2C6H5O7(H2O), from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data and DFT calculations.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structures of the isostructural compounds dipotassium rubidium citrate monohydrate, K2RbC6H5O7(H2O), and potassium dirubidium citrate monohydrate, KRb2C6H5O7(H2O), have been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The compounds are isostructural to K3C6H5O7(H2O) and Rb3C6H5O7(H2O), but exhibit different degrees of ordering of the K and Rb cations over the three metal-ion sites. The K and Rb site occupancies correlate well to both the bond-valence sums and the DFT energies of ordered cation systems. The MO6 and MO7 coordination polyhedra share edges to form a three-dimensional framework. The water mol-ecule acts as a donor in two strong charge-assisted O-H?O hydrogen bonds to carboxyl-ate groups. The hydroxyl group of the citrate anion forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to one of the central carboxyl-ate oxygen atoms.

Project description:The crystal structure of sodium rubidium hydrogen citrate, NaRbHC6H5O7 or [NaRb(C6H6O7)] n , has been solved and refined using laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. This compound is isostructural to NaKHC6H5O7. The Na atom is six-coordinate, with a bond-valence sum of 1.16. The Rb atom is eight-coordinate, with a bond-valence sum of 1.17. The distorted [NaO6] octa-hedra share edges to form chains along the a-axis direction. The irregular [RbO8] coordination polyhedra share edges with the [NaO6] octa-hedra on either side of the chain, and share corners with other Rb atoms, resulting in triple chains along the a-axis direction. The most prominent feature of the structure is the chain along [111] of very short, very strong hydrogen bonds; the O?O distances are 2.426 and 2.398?Å. The Mulliken overlap populations in these hydrogen bonds are 0.140 and 0.143 electrons, which correspond to hydrogen-bond energies of about 20.3?kcal?mol-1. The crystal structure of sodium caesium hydrogen citrate, NaCsHC6H5O7 or [NaCs(C6H6O7)] n , has also been solved and refined using laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The Na atom is six-coordinate, with a bond-valence sum of 1.15. The Cs atom is eight-coordinate, with a bond-valence sum of 0.97. The distorted trigonal-prismatic [NaO6] coordination polyhedra share edges to form zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. The irregular [CsO8] coordination polyhedra share edges with the [NaO6] polyhedra to form layers parallel to the (101) plane, unlike the isolated chains in NaKHC6H5O7 and NaRbHC6H5O7. A prominent feature of the structure is the chain along [100] of very short, very strong O-H?O hydrogen bonds; the refined O?O distances are 2.398 and 2.159?Å, and the optimized distances are 2.398 and 2.347?Å. The Mulliken overlap populations in these hydrogen bonds are 0.143 and 0.133 electrons, which correspond to hydrogen-bond energies about 20.3?kcal?mol-1.
