[Cu2(HF2)(H2O)8][FeF6]·2H2O

A. Le Bail and A.-M. Mercier

Abstract: The title compound, octaaqua(hydrogenfluorido)dicopper(II) hexafluoridoferrate(III) dihydrate, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The Cu atom is coordinated by one F and five O atoms within a highly distorted octahedron, forming dimeric [Cu2(H2O)8HF2]3+ units by edge sharing. These units are hydrogen bonded to [FeF6]3- anions and to an interstitial water molecule. The former feature Fe3+ on a special position (\\overline{1}). The dimeric copper units are linked to adjacent dimers by F-H...F hydrogen bonds. Additional O-H...O and O-H...F hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing.
