Inhaltsübersicht. Einkristalle der BromidϪThiosilicate Ln 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 wurden durch Reaktion von Lanthanidmetall (Ln ϭ La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd), Schwefel, Silicium und elementarem Brom in Quarzglasampullen dargestellt. Die Thiosilicate kristallisieren monoklin in der Raumgruppe C2/c (Z ϭ 4) isotyp zu den IodidϪAnaloga Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Lanthanide Bromide Thiosilicates Ln 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 Abstract. Single crystals of the bromideϪthiosilicates Ln 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 were prepared by reaction of lanthanide metal (Ln ϭ La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd), sulfur, silicon and bromine in quartz glass tubes. The thiosilicates crystallize in the monoclinic spacegroup C2/c (Z ϭ 4) isotypically to the iodide analogues Ln 3 I[SiS 4 ] 2 and the AϪtype chlorideϪoxosilicates Ln 3 Cl[SiO 4 ] 2 with the following lattice constants: La 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 : a ϭ 1583.3(4) pm, b ϭ 783.0(1) pm, c ϭ 1098.2(3) pm, β ϭ 97.33(3)°C e 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 : a ϭ 1570.4(3) pm, b ϭ 776.5(2) pm, c ϭ 1092.2(2) pm, β ϭ 97.28(2)°P r 3 Br[SiS 4 ] 2 : a ϭ 1562.6(3) pm, b ϭ 770.1(2) pm, c ϭ 1088.9(2) pm, β ϭ 97.50(2)°E
