Abstract
Two new borohydrides, potassium ytterbium tetraborohydride, KYb(BH4)4, and sodium ytterbium tetraborohydride, NaYb(BH4)4, have been synthesized via mechanochemical reactions in the solid state. The two compounds are isostructural and both crystallize in the Cmcm space group in the structure reported previously for NaSc(BH4)4 and KY(BH4)4. This crystal structure is composed of isolated homoleptic [Yb(BH4)4](-) anions surrounded by M(+) cations (M = Na, K). The packing of the M(+) cations and [Yb(BH4)4](-) anions is a distorted variant of the hexagonal NiAs structure type, with M(+) forming distorted trigonal prisms, i.e. M6. Each second prism surrounds a [Yb(BH4)4](-) anion, while the [Yb(BH4)4](-) anions are arranged into deformed octahedra around the M(+) cations.
期刊介绍：
Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.
