Heterobimetallic Chalcogenidometallate Strands: Synthesis, Structure, Magnetism, and Conductivity
Two salts with one-dimensional, SiS2-type telluridostannate chain anions {[MSnTe4](2-)}(n), Rb-2[HgSnTe4] (2) and (NMe4)(2)[MnSnTe4] (3), were prepared by the reactions of [SnTe](4-) anions with Hg2+ or Mn2+ ions in solution. We present the crystal structures of 2 and 3, as well as the magnetic properties of the previously reported Cs+ analogue Cs-2[MnSnTe4] (1).
