Ferrocyanides with general formula A I xB II y [Fe(CN)6], where A and B are cations, are thought to accept many substitutions on the A and B positions. In this communication, the synthesis and crystal structure of Cs2Sr[Fe(CN)6] are reported. The latter was obtained from K2Ba[Fe(CN)6] particles, put in contact with caesium and strontium ions. Hence, a simultaneous ion-exchange mechanism (Cs for K, Sr for Ba) occurs to yield Cs2Sr[Fe(CN)6]. The synthesis protocol shows that K2BaFe(CN)6 particles can be used for the simultaneous trapping of radioactive caesium and strontium nuclides in water streams. Cs2Sr[Fe(CN)6] adopts the cryolite structure type and is isotypic with the known compound Cs2Na[Mn(CN)6] [dicaesium sodium hexacyanidomanganate(III)]. The octahedrally coordinated Sr and Fe sites both are located on inversion centres, and the eightfold-coordinated Cs site on a general position.

The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase was synthesized from individual elements by silica glass tube technique and structurally characterized from powder X-ray diffraction data. The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase crystallizes in Fm$\overline3$m symmetry, unit-cell parameters: a = 12.3169(2) Å, V = 1862.55(5) Å3, Z = 4, and Dc = 10.01 g/cm3. The crystal structure of the (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase represents a stuffed 3a.3a.3a superstructure of the Pd structure (fcc), where only 4 from 108 available octahedral holes are occupied. Its crystal structure is related to the Cr23C6 structure type.

The structure of tetraphenylarsonium pentachlorocarbonylosmate(IV), (Ph4As)[OsCl5(CO)], the first example of a halogenocarbonyl complex with osmium in the oxidation state +IV, has been determined at 208 K by single crystal X-ray diffraction: tetragonal, space group P4/n with a = 12.821 , c = 8.084 Å, Z = 2. There are short intermolecular contacts between neighbouring anions along the tetragonal axis c and unusually large displacement ellipsoids of the carbonyl group and the four equatorial Cl ligands arising from a positional disorder of the complex anion. By analogy with a variety of reported structures of the (Ph4As)[RuNCl4] structure type this is attributed to the close packing of the cation sublattice. Compared to other monocarbonylosmates the Os-C bond of 1.94(2) Å is extraordinaryly long while the bond between Os and the trans coordinated Cl ligand of 2.286(3) Å is rather short.

The ternary oxide K2PdO2 has been prepared by a reaction between K2O and PdO. X-ray investigations suggest a chain-structure-type which corresponds to that of K2PtS2. The planar oxygen coordinations of the palladium atoms are connected laterally in one dimension. The orthorhombic unit cell (a = 8.523, b = 6.089, c = 3.119 Å) contains two formula units.

Abstract Single crystals of the new compound Ba2KZn3(B3O6)(B6O13) were obtained by using a B2O3 flux technique; they crystallize in an as yet unknown structure type. X-ray investigations led to the space group Ci1-P1̄ (Nr.2) with lattice parameters a = 705.2(2), b = 712.5(2), c = 1880.3(6), a = 93.43(3)°, β = 90.72(2)°, γ = 119.57(2)°, Z = 2. The structure contains (B3O6)3--rings and a new discrete (B6O13)8- anion, which is composed of two BO4 and two B2O5 units. Zn2+ is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen and two out of three tenfold coordinated Ba-sites are statistically occupied by Ba2+ and K+.

Abstract Single crystals of the new compound Ba2Zn(B3O6)2 were obtained by using a B2O3 flux technique. They crystallize in an as yet unknown structure type. X-ray investigations led to space group Ci1-P1̄ (Nr.2) with lattice parameters a = 715.5(2), b = 720.5(2), c = 1178.9(4), a = 78.96(2)°, β = 85.45(2)°, γ = 60.12(1)°, Z = 2. The structure is characterized by iso­lated (B3O6)3--rings and contains two ninefold coordinated Ba-sites. Zn2+ is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen. The relation to the crystal structures of high-temperature BaB2O4 and Ba2Ca(B3O6)2 is discussed.

A novel hexaborate, Na2ZnB6O11, has been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction and ab initio crystal-structure analysis has been completed using powder X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with lattice parameters a=10.7329(2) Å b=7.4080(3) Å, c=11.4822(2) Å, and β=112.16(2)°. The number of chemical formula per unit cell is Z=4 and the calculated density is 2.768(3) g/cm3. It represents a new structure type in which double-bridge-ring [B6O11]4− groups were found as fundamental building units. The infrared spectrum confirms the presence of both [BO3]3− groups and [BO4]5− groups.

Abstract Single crystals of BaCuTeO3TeO4 have been prepared by crystallisation from melts. X-ray investigations lead to orthorhombic symmetry, space group C162v-Ama2, a = 5.4869(8), b = 15.412(1), c = 7.2066(4) Å , Z = 4. This compound represents a new structure type, containing BaO10, CuO5, TeO6 and TeO4 polyhedra. The lone pair (E) of TeIV completes the TeIVO4 polyhedron to a trigonal TeO4E bipyramid. The Te to E distance is estimated by calculations of the Coulomb terms of lattice energy to 1.43 Å .

AbstractDuring investigations of the system Sc2O3-Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2, a new, unusual microporous compound, Cs3ScSi8O19, was synthesized as colourless plates from a CsF-MoO3 flux. The crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (Mo-Kα radiation, CCD area detector). The compound is orthorhombic, space group Pnma, with a = 11.286(2), b = 7.033(1), c = 26.714(5) Å, and Z = 4 (R1(F) = 2.6% and wR2all(F2) = 7.3%, using 3066 ‘observed’ reflections with Fo > 4σ(Fo)). The crystal structure of Cs3ScSi8O19 represents a new microporous framework structure type (‘MCV-1’), and the compound is exceptional in being the first representative of a mixed octahedral-tetrahedral framework structure, in which the [TO4]:[MO6] ratio is >6:1. The structure is based on isolated, nearly regular ScO6 octahedra [dav(Sc—O) = 2.112 Å] sharing corners with SiO4 tetrahedra to form an open framework with four-, six- and eight-membered rings; the latter are formed by SiO4 tetrahedra only. Two fully occupied Cs positions are located in large framework voids close to the six-membered rings, whereas four partly occupied and disordered Cs positions are close to very large framework voids bordered by the puckered eight-membered rings. The cavities are linked into channels parallel to [100] and [010]. The structure is compared with that of Cs2TiSi6O15 and related microporous scandium-, REE-, titano- and zirconosilicate minerals and compounds. Cs3ScSi8O19 or derivatives may be important in the context of immobilization of radioactive 137Cs waste, cationic conductivity or catalysis.

Abstract Single crystals of the hitherto unknown compound CuSbMo2O8 were prepared by recrystallization from melts in closed copper tubes and investigated by X-ray diffractometer technique. CuSbMo2O8 crystallizes in a new structure type with monoclinic symmetry, space group C62h - I12/a1, a = 5.554(2), b = 4.916(1), c = 21.519(4) Å, β = 93.42(3)°, Z = 4. The crystal structure shows SbIII in a one-sided coordination by four oxygen. Molybdenum shows the rare octahedral coordination by oxygen. MoO6 and CuO6 octahedra form triple layers stacked and connected by Sb ions along [001].

Abstract Single crystals of KCuHo2Mo4O16 have been prepared by recrystallisation from melts and investigated by X-ray diffractometer techniques. The compound crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, space group C 2/c, a = 521.6(1), b = 1251.3(2), c = 1953.1(2) pm, β = 92.903(18)°, Z = 4. KCuHo2Mo4O16 represents a new structure type characterized by HoO8 and alternate CuO6/KO10 polyhedra chains. The connection of these polyhedra chains to each other and by MoO4 tetrahedra is described and the crystal structure discussed with respect to related compounds of the CuLnMo2O8 and KLnMo2O8 types.
