The structure of the title compound, vanadium indium penta­deca­molybdenum nona­deca­selenide, V1.42In1.83Mo15Se19, is isotypic with In2.9Mo15Se19 [Grüttner et al. (1979[Grüttner, A., Yvon, K., Chevrel, R., Potel, M., Sergent, M. & Seeber, B. (1979). Acta Cryst. B35, 285-292.]). Acta Cryst. B35, 285–292]. It is characterized by two cluster units Mo6Sei8Sea6 and Mo9Sei11Sea6 (where i represents inner and a apical atoms) that are present in a 1:1 ratio. The cluster units are centered at Wyckoff positions 2b and 2c and have point-group symmetry [\overline{3}] and [\overline{6}], respectively. The clusters are inter­connected through additional Mo—Se bonds. In the title compound, the V3+ cations replace the trivalent indium atoms present in In2.9Mo15Se19, and a deficiency is observed on the monovalent indium site. One Mo, one Se and the V atom are situated on mirror planes, and two other Se atoms and the In atom are situated on threefold rotation axes.

From the point of view of crystal chemistry and physical properties, the reduced molybdenum selenides In~3Mo15Se19 (Grüttner et al., 1979) constitute an interesting family of compounds. Indeed, their crystal structure contains an equal mixture of Mo6 and Mo9 cluster units and the In atoms occupy two crystallographically different positions depending on their formal oxidation state of +1 or +3. Recently, we have shown that the In3+ cation can be replaced by other trivalent cations such as Ho3+ (Salloum et al., 2006) and the In+ cation by K+ (Salloum et al., 2007). Interest in these Mo cluster compounds also lies in their physical properties, because they become superconductors with high critical magnetic fields at about 4 K (Seeber et al., 1979). We present here the crystal structure of V1.42In1.83Mo15Se19 in which a 3d element replaces the trivalent indium atom.

The Mo—Se framework of the title compound consists of the cluster units Mo6Sei8Sea6 and Mo9Sei11Sea6 in a 1:1 ratio (for details of the i- and a-type ligand notation, see: Schäfer & von Schnering (1964)). Both cluster units are interconnected through additional Mo—Se bonds (Figs. 1 and 2). The first unit can be described as an Mo6 octahedron surrounded by eight face-capping inner Sei and six apical Sea ligands. The Mo9 cluster is surrounded by 11 Sei atoms capping one or two faces of the bioctahedron and six Sea ligands above the apical Mo atoms. The Mo6Sei8Sea6 and Mo9Sei11Sea6 units are centered at Wyckoff positions 2b and 2c and have point-group symmetry 3 and 6, respectively. The Mo—Mo distances within the Mo6 cluster are 2.6992 (7) Å for the distances of the Mo triangles formed by the Mo1 atoms related through the threefold axis, and 2.7223 (8) Å for the distances between these triangles. The Mo—Mo distances within the Mo9 clusters are 2.6474 (7) and 2.7056 (10) Å in the triangles formed by the atoms Mo2 and Mo3, respectively, and 2.7136 (5) and 2.7557 (5) Å for those between the Mo23 and Mo33 triangles. The Se atoms bridge either one (Se1, Se2, Se4 and Se5) or two (Se3) triangular faces of the Mo clusters. Moreover, atoms Se1 and Se2 are linked to an Mo atom of a neighboring cluster. The Mo—Se bond lengths range from 2.5467 (7) to 2.6378 (7) Å within the Mo6Sei8Sea6 unit, and from 2.5259 (8) to 2.6966 (6) Å within the Mo9Sei11Sea6 unit. Each Mo9Sei11Sea6 cluster is interconnected by six Mo6Sei8Sea6 units (and vice versa) via Mo2—Se1 bonds (and Mo1—Se2 bonds, respectively), forming the three-dimensional Mo—Se framework, the connectivity formula of which is Mo9Sei5Sei-a6/2Se-ai6/2, Mo6Sei2Sei-a6/2Sea-i6/2. It results from this arrangement that the shortest intercluster Mo1—Mo2 distance is 3.4216 (6) Å, indicating only weak metal—metal interaction. The In+ cations are surrounded by seven Se atoms forming a distorted tricapped tetrahedron, as is the case in In2.9Mo15Se19. The Se5 and Se2 atoms forming the tetrahedron are at 3.0759 (15) and 3.1221 (5) Å from the In atom, and the capping Se1 atoms are at 3.4904 (7) Å. The V3+ cations, as the In3+ cations in the In3Mo15Se19 compounds, occupy partially at 47.4 (6)% a triangular group of distorted octahedral cavities, which are formed by two Mo6Sei8Sea6 and three Mo9Sei11Sea6 units, around the threefold rotation axis. The V—Se distances are in the 2.510 (2) - 2.831 (3) Å range.

Experimental top

Single crystals of V1.42In1.83Mo15Se19 were prepared from a mixture of V2Se3, MoSe2, InSe and Mo with a nominal composition V1.5In2Mo15Se19. Before use, Mo powder was reduced under H2 flowing gas at 1273 K during ten hours in order to eliminate any trace of oxygen. The binaries V2Se3, MoSe2, InSe were obtained by heating stoichioetric mixtures of the elements in sealed evacuated silica tubes during about 2 days. All handlings of materials were done in an argon-filled glove box. The initial mixture (ca. 5 g) was cold pressed and loaded into a molybdenum crucible, which was sealed under a low argon pressure using an arc welding system. The charge was heated at the rate of 300 K/h up to 1773 K, the temperature which was held for 48 hours, then cooled at 100 K/h down to 1373 K and finally furnace cooled.

Refinement top

The highest peak and the deepest hole are located 1.56 Å and 0.66 Å from Mo3, respectively. Refinement of the occupancy factors of the V and In atoms led to the final composition V1.42 (2)In1.832 (8)Mo15Se19.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
