Abstract BaCu6Ge2 S8 was synthesized by direct reaction of the elements at 750°C and characterized by X-ray single crystal techniques. The thiogermanate crystallizes in a new orthorhombic structure type (a = 6.122(1) Å, b = 12.084(3) Å, c = 17.614(5) Å; Pbcm, Z = 4). Isolated [GeS4]4- tetrahedra form a slightly distorted cubic face-centered (fee) arrangement. Baand Cu-atoms each occupy half the octahedral gaps (OG) of this “tetrahedra packing” . Further Cu atoms fill the tetrahedral gaps ( TG) completely. The compound can be written as Ba2(1/2OG)(Cu2)2(1/2OG)Cu8(TG)(GeS4)4 . Thus the structure of BaCu6Ge2S8 can be derived from the Li3Bi type. The sulfur coordination of the metal atoms (Cu tetrahedral or trigonal, Ba with CN 8) are realized by the spatial orientation of the [GeS4]4- tetrahedra. Their centers nearly maintain the fcc-arrangement. This structure interpretation of BaCu6 Ge2S8 from the viewpoint of a “filled tetrahedra packing” is discussed for further known thiogermanate compounds.

Rhombohedral Symmetry

The compounds Mg2Ni3P and Mg2Ni3As were prepared by heating the elements. Their structures have been determined from single-crystal X-ray data. The structure of the phosphide is a rhombohedral ternary variant of the cubic Laves structure type MgCu2 (R 3̄ m; hexagonal lattice constants: a = 4.971(0) Å, c = 10.961(2) Å). The ordered substitution of one quarter of the metal atoms by phosphorus and the resulting shorter distances are responsible for the rhombohedral symmetry.The arsenide crystallizes in the MgCu2 type structure (Fd 3 m; a = 6.891(1)A, composition Mg2Ni3As) with a statistic distribution of the Ni and As atoms; the relevant homogeneity range extends from Mg2Ni2.9As1.1 to Mg2Ni3.5As0.5.

The title compounds were prepared by reaction of the elemental components. They crystallize in a new structure type, which was determined from single-crystal X -ray data of CeCrSb3: Pbcm, a = 1310.8(3), b = 618.4(1), c = 607.9(1) pm, Z = 4, R = 0.029 for 648 structure factors and 32 variable parameters. The structure of the antimonide CeVSb3 is isotypic: a = 1319.0(2), b = 623.92(8), c = 603.03(8) pm , R = 0.041 for 477 structure factors and 32 variables. The transition metal site and one of the three antimony sites were found to have partial occupancies resulting in the exact compositions CeV0,91(1)Sb2,916(4) and CeCr0,901(9)Sb2,909(4). The structures contain fractional Sb -Sb bonds with distances varying between 301,5 and 316.4 pm. The transition metal atoms have octahedral antimony coordination. These TSb6 octahedra share faces resulting in linear infinite strings with V - V and Cr - Cr bond distances of 301.5 and 304.0 pm, respectively. The structure of these com pounds contains building elements, which are also found in antimonides with ThCr2Si2, CaBe2Ge2, and HfCuSi2 type structures.

ABSTRACTWe present the structure and thermoelectric properties of the new quaternary selenides K1+xM4–2xBi7+xSe15 (M = Sn, Pb) and K1-xSn5-xBi11+xSe22. The compounds K1+xM4-2xBi7+xSe15 (M= Sn, Pb) crystallize isostructural to A1+xPb4-2xSb7+xSe15 with A = K, Rb, while K1-xSn5-xBi11+xSe22 reveals a new structure type. In both structure types fragments of the Bi2Te3-type and the NaCl-type are connected to a three-dimensional anionic framework with K+ ions filled tunnels. The two structures vary by the size of the NaCl-type rods and are closely related to β-K2Bi8Se13 and K2.5Bi8.5Se14. The thermoelectric properties of K1+xM4-2xBi7+xSe15 (M = Sn, Pb) and K1-xSn5-xBi11+xSe22 were explored on single crystal and ingot samples. These compounds are narrow gap semiconductors and show n-type behavior with moderate Seebeck coefficients. They have very low thermal conductivity due to an extensive disorder of the metal atoms and possible “rattling” K+ ions.

The Third

The isotypic ternary compounds Ba3[MoN4] and Ba3[WN4] were prepared by reaction of the transition metals with barium (Ba3N2, resp.) under nitrogen. The crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction: Ba3[MoN4] (Ba3[WN4]): Pbca; Z = 8; a = 1083.9(3) pm (1091.8(3) pm), b = 1030.3(3) pm (1037.5(3) pm), c = 1202.9(3) pm (1209.2(4) pm). The structures contain isolated tetrahedral anions [MN4]6- (M = Mo, W) which are arranged in form of slightly distorted hexagonal layers and which are stacked along [010] with the sequence (···AB···). Two of the three Ba atoms are situated between, the third one is placed within the layers of [MN4]-groups. In this way the structures can be derived from the Na3As structure type.

AbstractA new stacking variant of sodium hexa-hydroxo platinate(IV), Na2Pt(OH)6, was synthesized and its structure elucidated through X-ray diffraction. The new polymorph was prepared by direct reaction of PtO2 with an excess of NaOH solution applying elevated oxygen pressure at 300°C. The structure consists of layers of edge sharing Pt(OH)6 and Na(OH)6 octahedra. These layers are separated by an edge-to-edge distance of ~2.4 Å. The packing of the hydroxide ions corresponds to the hcp sequence, the title compound thus may be regarded a cation ordered variant of the Brucite structure type. During heating above T~300°C all constitutional water is released, and anhydrous Na2PtO3 remains as the solid residue.

The crystal structure redetermination of Sr2PdO3 (distrontium palladium trioxide) was carried out using high-quality single-crystal X-ray data. The Sr2PdO3 structure has been described previously in at least three reports [Wasel-Nielen & Hoppe (1970). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 375, 209–213; Muller & Roy (1971). Adv. Chem. Ser. 98, 28–38; Nagata et al. (2002). J. Alloys Compd. 346, 50–56], all based on powder X-ray diffraction data. The current structure refinement of Sr2PdO3, as compared to previous powder data refinements, leads to more precise cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for all sites. The compound is confirmed to have the orthorhombic Sr2CuO3 structure type (space group Immm) as reported previously. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing PdO4 plaquettes interspersed by SrII atoms. A brief comparison of Sr2PdO3 with the related K2NiF4 structure type is given.

Slight Deficiency

RhPb2 (rhodium dilead) is a superconductor crystallizing in the CuAl2 structure type (space group I4/mcm). The Rh and Pb atoms are located at the 4a (site symmetry 422) and 8h (m.2m) sites, respectively. The crystal structure is composed of [RhPb8] antiprisms, which share their square faces along the c axis and the edges in the direction perpendicular to the c axis. We have succeeded in growing single crystals of RhPb2 and have re-determined the crystal structure on basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with the previous structure studies using powder X-ray diffraction data [Wallbaum (1943). Z. Metallkd. 35, 218–221; Havinga et al. (1972). J. Less-Common Met. 27, 169–186], the current structure analysis of RhPb2 leads to more precise unit-cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for the two atoms. In addition and likewise different from the previous studies, we have found a slight deficiency of Rh in RhPb2, leading to a refined formula of Rh0.950 (9)Pb2.

Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

Binary Section

In the ternary system Ba-Al-Ge new intermetallic compounds which are lying on or close to the binary section BaAl2 -BaGe2 were synthesized from the elements and characterized on the basis of X-ray single crystal data. The Al-content x in the compounds BaAlxGe2−x forming the AlB2 structure type ranges from x = 1.4 [BaAl1.4Ge0.6 space group P6/mmm, a = 443.5(1), c = 512.4(1) pm, Z = 1, R1 = 0.0222] to the stoichiometric ordered compound BaAlGe [space group P6̅m2, a = 434.9(1), c = 513.6 pm, Z = 1, R1 = 0.0252]. In the two new Ge-rich barium intermetallics Ba5Al2Ge7 [space group C2/m, a = 859.8(4), b = 1031.5(4), c = 1847.8(6) pm, β = 103.23(3)°, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0553] and Ba7Al4Ge9 [space group Fmm2, a = 1032.7(5), b = 2559(2), c = 862.1(4) pm, Z = 4, R1 = 0.1197] complex Al/Ge polyanions are present, which consist of (1) Al/Ge-ribbons of condensed planar sixmembered rings comparable to the anions in Ba3Al2Ge2, and (2) [Ge/Al]5 clusters comparable to the anions in the tetrelides Ba3M5. The building units (1) and (2) are connected via Al-Ge bonds to form complex ribbons in the case of Ba5Al2Ge7 and sheets in the case of Ba7Al4Ge9. The electron count in the two compounds supports an interpretation of the structures according to the Zintl concept and the Wades rules. The small formal electron excess, caused by the incomplete transfer of charge from Ba towards the Al/Ge polyanions, decreases with the Ge content of the compound.

Phase Width

The ternary intermetallic title compound, known hitherto as UCu5Sn (uranium pentacopper stannide), crystallizes with the hexagonal CeNi5Sn structure type, and it has been presumed to be a fully stoichiometric phase, devoid of any disorder. However, the present single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies at 120 K, carried out with crystals grown from an Sn flux, suggest the existence of a previously unnoticed phase width of the title compound UCu5−x Sn. All the atoms occupy special positions: U (\overline{6}m2, \overline{3}m.), Sn (3m.) and Cu (.m., 3m., and two positions with \overline{6}m2).
