Three-dimensional [hkl] X-ray data in the range 0<(sin 0)/< 0.95 from orthorhombic crystals of Na4Zr (C204) 4-3H20 yield a definitive determination of structure. The'tetrakisoxalatozirconate (IV) ion, required by the space group (B22i2) to have a single twofold axis, belongs in fact to the dodecahedral (Mo (CN) t~ 4) stereoisomeric type having D2ci-42m ideal symmetry and designated mmmm in the first paper (HS) of this series. The complicated crystalline arrangement is determined primarily by direct interaction of sodium ions with oxalatooxygen (water molecules are relegated to the role of filler), and the Zr (C204) 4 “4 ion departs significantly from 42m symmetry. Thisdistortion is limited, well within the probable experimental accuracy, to the inner coordination group, ie, to thechemically least stable and structurally least rigid part of the complex. The structurally non-equivalent oxalatorings are flat and, barring some variation in Zr-0 bond lengths, are virtually isodimensional. Bond parameters, including an averaged Zr-0 bond length of 2.199 A., are in excellent agreement with a composite of other reported data. A structurally significant difference of 0.06 Á. between averaged bond lengths for- and Zr-Os types (cf., HS) overlies the distortion of the inner coordination group.
