The crystal structure of bis(triethylammonium)closo-decahydrodecaborate [bis(triethylammonium) decaboranate(10)], [(C2H5)3NH]2[B10H10], was determined and refined (space group Pmmn, no. 59, a = 989.7, b = 1333.7, c = 903.7 pm). The compound is a versatile starting material for many substances containing the [BioHio]2- entity and its derivatives. The closo-[B10H10]2- cluster is a bicapped square antiprism which is only slightly distorted. Its deviation from D4d symmetry is smaller than that of the B10 cages in every other compound containing this entity that have been structurally characterised. The presence of additional (N )H ---B3 interactions in form of multiple-centre bonds between the cations and the anions, which were postulated earlier and which should influence the cage symmetry, could not be confirmed. At 55 °C, the transition into a high temperature phase was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction. The high temperature phase crystallises in the tetragonal crystal system (a = 946.9, c = 1351.0 pm).

The utility of ultra-high-temperature (2100 °C) X-ray powder diffraction technique for investigating the high-temperature phase relationships of two pseudobinary mixtures, Al2O3/Y2O3 and AlN/SiO2, is described. The in situ analysis to 1600 °C was carried out using a platinum holder and a Pt/Rh thermocouple; whereas analysis beyond 1600 °C was performed with a tungsten holder, extremely pure, oxygen-free inert gas environment, and an opticalpyrometer to monitor temperatures up to 2100 °C. The solid-state interaction between Al2O3 and Y2O3 commenced with the formation of Al2Y4O9 (YAM), a yttria rich compound, at 1300 °C followed by AlYO3 (YAP) and Al5Y3O12 (YAG) at 1400 °C. Further heating to 1500 °C and above resulted in the increased concentration of YAG at the expense of the other two phases, followed by melting of the entire sample at 2050 °C. The only phase formed during cooling (from the molten state) was YAG. AlN and SiO2 did not react with each other, in an inert atmosphere, and they remained as separate, discrete phases even at 1600 °C. In the presence of oxygen, they reacted to form mullite and cristobalite, or SIALON depending on the partial pressure of oxygen.

X-ray powder diffraction investigation of the new high temperature polymorphs beta- and gamma-CaTeO3 and gamma- and delta-CaTe2O5 and picnometric measurements of the room temperature phases of the two compounds have been carried out. The study led to the elucidation of their unit cell structures and assignment of entirely new lattice types and parameters to the room temperature phases of CaTeO3 and CaTe2O5 in contrast and supersession to the existing structural information. The results are as follows: CaTeO3 has only one stable phase at room temperature and temperatures up to 882 °C, i.e., α- and has a triclinic unit cell with a=4.132±0.003 Å, b=6.120±0.006 Å, c=12.836±0.013 Å, α=121.80°, β=99.72°, γ=97.26°. The first high temperature phase stable between 882 and 894 °C, i.e., β-CaTeO3, has a monoclinic lattice: a=20.577±0.007 Å, b=21.857±0.009 Å, c=4.111±0.002 Å, β=96.15°, while the next phase stable above 894 °C, i.e., γ-CaTeO3, has a hexagonal unit cell with parameters: a=14.015±0.0001 Å, c=9.783±0.001 Å, c/a=0.698. CaTe2O5 has one stable phase at temperatures up to 802 °C, i.e., α-CaTe2O5 with a monoclinic lattice and parameters: a=9.069±0.002 Å, b=25.175±0.007 Å, c=3.366±0.001 Å, β=98.29 °. The first high temperature phase stable in the range 802–845°, i.e., β-CaTe2O5, is monoclinic with unit cell parameters: a=4.146±0.001 Å, b=5.334±0.002 Å, c=6.105±0.002 Å, β=98.362 °; the next higher temperature phase stable over 845–857 °C, i.e., γ-CaTe2O5, has an orthorhombic unit cell with: a=8.638±0.001 Å, b=9.291±0.001 Å, c=7.862±0.001 Å and the highest temperature solid phase stable above 857 °C, i.e., δ-CaTe2O5 has a tetragonal unit cell with a=5.764±0.000 Å, c=32.074±0.020 Å, c/a=5.5637.

The crystal structure of β-CsReO4, the roomtemperature modification of cesium perrhenate, was determined from single-crystal X-ray data as orthorhombic, space group P nma, a = 5.7556(9), b = 5.9964(8), c = 14.310(2) Å and Z = 4.The structure was refined to R = 0.027, Rw = 0.023 for 779 absorption-corrected reflections. It represents an orthorhombic distortion of the tetragonal high-temperature phase α-CsReO4. The structure of β-CsReO4 comprises isolated ReO4 tetrahedra, linked together by Cs ions. The average Re-O distance was found to be 1.714(4) Å.

Abstract The phase transitions in CsSnCl3 and CsPbBr3 have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, by 81Br-NQR and by 'H-, 119Sn-, and 113Cs-NMR. At room temperature in air CsSnCl3 forms a hydrate which can be dehydrated to the monoclinic phase II of CsSnCl3. The high temperature phase I has the Perovskite structure, as the X-ray and NMR experiments show. The three phases of CsPbBr3, known from literature, have been corroborated. The results are discussed in the framework of the group ABX3, A = alkalimetal ion, B = IV main group ion, and X = Halogen ion

AbstractCa12Ge17B8O58 was prepared by high-temperature solid state synthesis at 1100°C in a platinum crucible from calcium carbonate, boric acid, and germanium(IV) oxide. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system in the space group P4̅ (No. 81) isotypically to Cd12Ge17B8O58. The structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: a = 15.053(8), c = 4.723(2) Å, V = 1070.2(2) Å3, R1 = 0.0151, and wR2 = 0.0339 for all data. The crystal structure of Ca12Ge17B8O58 consists of [Ge4O12]n chains composed of GeO4 tetrahedra and GeO6 octahedra. The chains are interconnected into a [Ge4O10.5]n network via corner sharing. By additional [Ge(B2O7)4]28– clusters, these units are connected to a three-dimensional [Ge17B8O58]24– framework. The open structure forms three types of tunnels with five-, six-, and seven-membered rings (MRs) along the c axis, where the Ca2+ are located.
