The strontium tungstate compound Sr3W2O9 was prepared by a high-pressure synthesis technique. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The structure was found to be a hettotype structure of the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9, which has corner-sharing octahedra with a trigonal symmetry. Sr3W2O9 has a monoclinic unit cell of C2/c symmetry. One characteristic of the structure is the breaking of the threefold rotation symmetry existing in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9. The substitution of Sr at the Ba site results in a significant shortening of the interlayer distances of the [AO3] layers (A = Ba, Sr) and causes a distortion in the crystal structure. In Sr3W2O9, there is an off-centre displacement of W6+ ions in the WO6 octahedra. Such a displacement is also observed in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9.

The new orthorhombic polymorph β-HgB4O7 has been synthesized under high-pressure and hightemperature conditions in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 7.5 GPa and 600 °C. β-HgB4O7 is isotypic to the known ambient pressure phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and the high-pressure phase β-CaB4O7 crystallizing with two formula units in the space group Pmn21 with lattice parameters a = 1065.6(2), b = 438.10(9), and c = 418.72(8) pm. The relation of the crystal structure of the high-pressure phase β-HgB4O7 to the normal pressure phase α-HgB4O7 as well as the relation to the isotypic phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and β-CaB4O7 are discussed.

The high-pressure phase β -ZrB2O5 represents the first ternary borate in the system Zr-B-O. The compound was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 7.5 GPa and 1100 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at room temperature. The monoclinic zirconium borate crystallizes in the space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 439.04(9), b = 691.2(2), c = 896.8(2) pm, and β = 90.96(3)°. The structure is isotypic to the high-pressure phase β -HfB2O5, which is built up from layers of exclusively corner-sharing BO4 tetrahedra. Between these layers, the cations are coordinated square-antiprismatically by eight oxygen atoms.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

AbstractThe title compound was prepared by high-pressure reaction of rhenium metal with technical grade (i.e., Na containing) KO2 in a modified Belt-type apparatus (20 kbar, 1000 °C, 60 min, Au capsule). The amber-coloured crystals are very hygroscopic and decompose rapidly when exposed to air. K3NaRe2O9 crystallizes hexagonally, space group P63/mmc, with a = 6.012(1), c = 14.342(14) Å, c/a = 2.386 and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 0.031, Rw = 0.023 for 422 independent, absorption-corrected reflections with l > σ (I). K3NaRe2O9 is isostructural with 6H-BaTiO3, a perowskite variant, and contains Na and Re in octaedral coordination. Two ReO6 octahedra are face-sharing, thus creating a Re2O9 double octahedron with a Re-R e distance of 2.92 Å.
