The copper oxide arsenate Cu4O(AsO4)2 has been prepared and investigated by single crystal X-ray techniques. The compound crystallizes with triclinic symmetry, space group C1i-P1̄, a = 6.4148(7), b = 7.6549(5), c = 8.2241(7) Å, α = 98.52(1), β = 112.39(1), 7 = 98.38(1)°, Z = 2. Cu4O(AsO4)2 is isotypic to Cu4(PO4)2O . Copper ions on one of the four specified sites show nearly planar coordination by O2- and may be assigned to the anionic part of the crystal structure. One of the nine different types of oxygen atoms is coordinated by copper exclusively. The compound is therefore classified as an oxide arsenate.

Single crystals of AgKCu3Mo4O16 have been prepared by crystallization from melts and investigated by X-ray diffractometer techniques. This compound crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, space group C2h5 - P21/c, a = 5.056(1), b = 14.546(4), c = 19.858(9) Å, β = 86.64(5)°, Z = 4. The crystal structure of AgKCu3Mo4O16 is closely related to K2Cu3Mo4O16 showing ribbons of edge-sharing CuO6 and AgO7 polyhedra. The ribbons are linked by tetrahedrally coordinated molybdenum and K2O10 groups. Another kind of MoO4 tetrahedra occupies the cavities inside the ribbons. The crystal structure and the coordination of silver, copper, potassium and molybdenum by oxygen are discussed with respect to K2Cu3Mo4O16.

Abstract Single crystals of KBaCuV2O7Cl have been prepared by a flux technique and investigated by X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry, space group C24v-P4 bm, a = 8.8581, c = 5.4711 Å, Z = 2. The crystal structure shows Cu2+ within a one sided strongly distorted CuO4Cl2 octahedron. The copper ion is shifted towards the nearer Cl- neighbour to form a CuO4Cl square pyramid. Two VO4 tetrahedra are connected to give stretched V2O7 double tetrahedra, and linked in planes via the oxygen corners of the CuO4Cl pyramids. The crystal structure and the structure of the complex BaO8Cl2 polyhedron are discussed.

Abstract Single crystals of NaCa3 Mn(V2O7)(V3O10) have been prepared by crystallization from flux in argon atmosphere. X-Ray single crystal methods led to triclinic symmetry, space group C1i - P 1̄, a = 6.8798(9), b = 6.902(1), c = 15.480(2) Å, α = 87.39(1), β = 85.32(1), γ = 86.25(2) °, Z = 2. The compound belongs to the rare trivanadates showing V2O7 and V3O10 groups incorporated into a NaCaMn/O framework. One point position of the cations is occupied by Ca2+, three by Na+ and Ca2+ in a statistical distribution and a fourth one by Mn2+. The surrounding of Mn2+ and the statistically occupied position M(3) are octahedra, the other metal positions are centers of capped trigonal prisms.

Abstract Single crystals of Pb2TeO5 have been prepared by flux techniques. X-ray investigations showed a new crystal structure with monoclinic symmetry, space group C4S -Cc, a = 13.099(3), b = 5.714(1), c = 7.520(2) Å, β = 123,80(3)°, Z = 4. Pb2TeO5 is characterized by 1∞[TeO5] chains of octahedra isolated from each other and incorporated into an edge, corner and face connected frame of PbO7 polyhedra. Possible positions of the lone pair of electrons of Pb2+ are estimated by calculations of Coulomb terms of lattice energy.

Abstract Single crystals of (Cu,Mn)3.66Mo3O12 have been prepared in sealed copper tubes. X-ray investiga­tions lead to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D2h16-Pnma, a = 5.1541(9), b = 10.788(2), c = 18.114(3)) Å , Z = 4.

Abstract Single crystals of Ba13Dy8Zn4Pt4O37 have been prepared by reaction of mixtures of BaCO3, ZnO and DyO3 at temperatures up to 1225 °C using platinum crucibles. X-ray investigations led to a new crystal structure with tetragonal symmetry, space group C4h5-I4/m, a = 18.659(7), c = 5.734(2) Å, Z = 2. The structure is characterized by PtO6 and BaO6 octahedra as well as by tetragonal ZnO5 pyramids and single capped trigonal prisms of oxygen around dysprosium. The remaining barium positions show coordination numbers of nine and ten. The crystal structure has large ∞1[(PtDy4O)6)4] polyhedra tunnels. Considering the ∞1[Ln4O16]20- polyhedra groups some parts of the structure show similarities to BaZnLn2O5, Ba5Zn4Ln8O21 and Ba2Ln2ZnPtO8.

Spryite (Ag7.98Cu0.05)Σ=8.03(As5+0.31Ge0.36As3+0.31Fe3+0.02)Σ=1.00S5.97, and ideally Ag8(As3+0.5As5+0.5)S6, is a new mineral recently described from the Uchucchacua polymetallic deposit, Oyon district, Catajambo, Lima Department, Peru. Its room temperature structure exhibits an orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pna21, with lattice parameters a = 14.984(4), b = 7.474(1), c = 10.571(2) Å, V = 1083.9(4) Å3, Z = 4, and shows the coexistence of As3+ and As5+ distributed in a disordered fashion in a unique mixed position. To analyze the crystal-chemical behaviour of the arsenic distribution at ultra-low temperatures, a structural study was carried out at 30 K by means of in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (helium-cryostat) on the same sample previously characterized from a chemical and structural point of view. At 30 K, spryite still crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pna21, but gives rise to a a × 3b × c superstructure, with a = 14.866(2), b = 22.240(4), c = 10.394(1) Å, V = 3436.5(8) Å3 and Z = 4 (Ag24As3+As5+Ge4+S18 stoichiometry). The twin laws making the twin lattice simulating a perfect hexagonal symmetry have been taken into account and the crystal structure has been solved and refined. The refinement of the structure leads to a residual factor R = 0.0329 for 4070 independent observed reflections [with Fo > 4σ(Fo)] and 408 variables. The threefold superstructure arises from the ordering of As3+ and (As5+, Ge4+) in different crystal-chemical environments.
