  1. The crystal structure of the title compound, hexaaquanickel(II) dichloride–1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane–water (1/2/2), [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2·2C12H24O6·2H2O, is reported. The asymmetric unit contains half of the Ni(OH2)6moiety with a formula of C12H32ClNi0.50O10at 105 K and triclinic (P1) symmetry. The [Ni(OH2)6]2+cation has close to ideal octahedral geometry with O—Ni—O bond angles that are within 3° of idealized values. The supramolecular structure includes hydrogen bonding between the water ligands, 18-crown-6 molecules, Clanions, and co-crystallized water solvent. Two crown ether molecules flank the [Ni(OH2)6]2+molecule at the axial positions in a sandwich-like structure. The relatively symmetric hydrogen-bonding network is enabled by small Clcounter-ions and likely influences the more idealized octahedral geometry of [Ni(OH2)6]2+

  2. Abstract Heat capacities and enthalpies of formation of BaGd2O4were determined by high‐temperature differential scanning calorimetry and high‐temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry, respectively. Thermodynamic stability of BaLn2O4compounds increases with decreasing Ln3+ionic radius. Previously reported data on BaNd2O4and BaSm2O4corroborate this trend. Missing data for compounds in BaO–Ln2O3(Ln = La, Pr, Eu, Er) systems were estimated from established relations, thermodynamic assessment was performed, and binary phase diagrams were calculated.
