Single crystals of Pb2In2Si2O9 have been prepared by crystallisation from melts of Pb(NO3)2, ln2O3 and SiO2. The compound crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry, space group C2v9- Pna21 with the lattice constants a = 10.529(1), b = 11.372(1) and c = 7.019(3) Å, Z = 4. Despite the fact that the Kentrolite/Melanotekite structure is characterized by dissimilar occupied split positions of lead, Pb2In2Si2O9 shows completely filled and ordered point positions. The location of a dot like lone pair of Pb2+ is estimated by Coulomb term calculations of lattice energy. The results are discussed with respect to published Pb-lone pair distances using the electronic polarizability coefficient of the lone pair cation or simple geometrical considerations.

Abstract Single crystals of KBaVO4(I) and KSrVO4(II) have been prepared by crystallization from V2O5 flux. The yellowish crystals show orthorhombic symmetry, space group D162h-Pnma with (I): a = 7.774(2), b = 5.899(1), c = 10.375(2) Å , (II): a = 7.400(2), b = 5.812(1), c -9.961(1), Z = 4. Both compounds show an ordered distribution of K+ and Ba2+ and Sr2+ respectively. The different sizes of the KO10 and BaO9 (SrO9) polyhedra are discussed with respect to those of the β-K2SO4 structure, considering the calculations of the Coulomb terms of lattice energy.

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.

Single crystals of Ba2Nb2TeO10) have been prepared by solid state reactions in air. X-ray investigations led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D152h-Pbca, a = 7.242(4), b = 12.433(3), c = 9.932(3) Å. Z = 4. Nb5+ and Te6+ show octahedral coordination by O2- . The crystal structure is characterized by planes of edge- and corner-sharing NbO6- and TeO6octahedra. It is shown that in spite of nearly identical lattice constants of Ba2Nb2TeO10 with compounds of the composition M0,5BaNbTe2O9 the so far unknown crystals of these substances may not be derived from the Ba2Nb2TeO10 type.

Single crystals of Ba2,5Cd11(VO4)9 have been prepared by solid state reactions. The new compound crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry, space group D142h-Pbcn, a = 20.842(6), b = 13.471(3), c = 11.838(9) Å, Z = 4. The crystal structure is characterized and dominated by CdO6 octahedra and unusual square pyramids of O2- around Cd2+ forming a three-dimensional [Cd11O36] network. The interstices are occupied by V5+ and Ba2+ ions. This results in VO4 tetrahedra and irregular BaO10 polyhedra isolated from each other. Occupation of the barium positions is deficient in agreement with the valence state V5+ and calculations of the coulomb terms of lattice energy.

Abstract Single crystals of Pb3Ni4.5Te2.5O15 have been prepared by heating pellets of mixtures of PbO, TeO2 and nickel hydroxide carbonate to 730 °C in air. X-ray investigations led to hexagonal symmetry, space group d66-P6322, lattice constants a = 10.2589(1), c = 13.554(5), Z = 4. Typical features of the crystal structure are face sharing TeNiO9 octahedra doubles and planes of connected (TeO6)6 and (TeO6)3(NiO6)3 hexagons. The one-sided coordination of lead by oxygen is complemented by the lone pair of electrons. The lone pair positions are estimated by calculations of the Coulomb terms of lattice energy.

Abstract Single crystals of the hitherto unknown compound SrMnTeO6 have been prepared from Sr(OH)2 ·8H2O , MnCO3(aq) and TeO2 in air by crystallization below the melt range. X-ray investigations showed hexagonal symmetry, space group D33h -P6̅2m, lattice constants a = 5.143( 1), c = 5.384(2) A, Z = 1. SrMnTeO6 is characterized by staggered [(Mn/Te)6O18] Kagome layers along [001]. These layers are connected by Sr2+ ions, resulting in SrO6 prisms isolated from each other. The structure is discussed with respect to the connection of Kagome nets in the quaternary oxides of the Ba3Ln4O9 type.

Single crystals of the compounds MnFe(BO3)O (I) and MnAl0.5Y0.5(BO3)O (II), were obtained by a B2O3 flux technique. I crystallizes with orthorhombic symmetry, space group D162h -Pnma (Nr.62), a = 939.92; b = 319.41; c = 939.11 pm; Z = 4 and II with monoclinic symmetry, space group C52h-P21/n (Nr. 14). a = 325.6; b = 955.1; c = 929.2 pm; β = 90.70° ; Z = 4. I is isotypic to the mineral Warwickite, while II is a distorded variant of this structure. All metal ions are octahedrally coordinated. Both structures contain isolated, trigonal planar BO3 units and oxygen atoms that are not coordinated to boron.

Single crystals of the new lead zinc silicon tellurium oxide PbZn4SiTeO10 have been prepared by solid state reaction in air. The compound is colourless and crystallizes in orthorhombic symmetry, space group D162h Pnma, with the cell parameters: a = 6.542 (5), b = 15.624(4), c = 8.280(4) Å, Z = 4. The structure has been determined from a single crystal X-ray study and refined to the conventional values R = 0.032 and wR(F2) = 0.050. Zn2+ and Si4+ show tetrahedral and Te6+ octahedral coordination by O2-.The crystal structure is dominated by a 3∞ [Zn4O10]12- framework with isolated TeO66+ and SiO44+ polyhedra. Pb2+ ions are incorporated in the network. The centres of negative charge of the lone pairs of Pb2+ are estimated by calculations of the Coulomb term of the lattice energy
