The Ga- and In-substituted bismuthides Ca11GaxBi10–x, Ca11InxBi10–x, Yb11GaxBi10–x, and Yb11InxBi10–x(x< 2) can be readily synthesized employing molten Ga or In metals as fluxes. They crystallize in the tetragonal space groupI4/mmmand adopt the Ho11Ge10structure type (Pearson codetI84; Wyckoff sequencen2m j h2e2d). The structural response to the substitution of Bi with smaller and electron-poorer In or Ga has been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods for the case of Ca11InxBi10–x[x= 1.73 (2); octabismuth undecacalcium diindium]. The refinements show that the In atoms substitute Bi only at the 8hsite. The refined interatomic distances show an unconventional – for this structure type – bond-length distribution within the anionic sublattice. The latter can be viewed as consisting of isolated Bi3−anions and [In4Bi820−] clusters for the idealized Ca11In2Bi8model. Formal electron counting and first-principle calculations show that the peculiar bonding in this compound drives the system toward an electron-precise state, thereby stabilizing the observed bond-length pattern.

In comparison with the previous structure determination of the β-modification of bariumcatena-polyphosphate that was based on Weissenberg film data [Grenieret al.(1967).Bull. Soc. Fr. Minéral. Cristallogr.90, 24–31], the current CCD-data-based redetermination reveals all atoms with anisotropic displacement parameters, standard uncertainties for the atomic coordinates, and the determination of the absolute structure. Moreover, a much higher accuracy in terms of the bond-length distribution for the polyphosphate chain, with two shorter and two longer P—O distances, was achieved. The structure consists of polyphosphate chains extending parallel to [100] with a periodicity of two PO4tetrahedra. The Ba2+cations are located between the chains and are surrounded by ten O atoms in the form of a distorted coordination polyhedron, with Ba—O distances ranging from 2.765 (3) to 3.143 (3) Å, also reflecting the higher precision of the current redetermination.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H22N2O2Si2, contains one half of the molecule, which is completed by inversion symmetry. The cyclohexa-2,5-diene ring is exactly planar and reflects the bond-length distribution of a pair of located double bonds [1.3224 (14) Å] and two pairs of single bonds [1.5121 (13) and 1.5073 (14) Å]. The tetrahedral angle between thesp3-C atom and the two neighbouringsp2-C atoms in the cyclohexa-2,5-diene ring is enlarged by about 3°.

There is no unique index that measures the size of the distortion found in a coordination polyhedron because different indices can result in a different ordering depending on the mode of the distortion (i.e. the third and higher moments of the bond-length distribution). This paper proposes the increase in the average bond length as a suitable index as this is directly related to the increase in volume of the coordination polyhedron and hence of the unit cell. Some examples are discussed.
