The normal-pressure (NP) orthorhombic TiNiSi-type (space group Pnma) stannides RENiSn (RE = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) and REPdSn (RE = La, Pr, Nd) were transformed into the corresponding hexagonal ZrNiAl-type (space group P6̄2m) high-pressure (HP) modifications under multianvil high-pressure (7.5 - 11.5 GPa) high-temperature (1100 - 1200 °C) conditions. The structures of NP-CeNiSn, HPPrNiSn, NP-NdNiSn, HP-LaPdSn, HP-PrPdSn, and HP-NdPdSn were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. Structural data for HP-SmNiSn were obtained from a Rietveld powder refinement. The high-pressure phase transition significantly changes the rare earth coordination, i. e. 4 RE + 6 Ni(Pd) + 6 Sn atoms for the NP-phases and 6 RE + 5 Ni(Pd) + 6 Sn atoms for the HPphases. Susceptibility measurements of HP-PrPdSn and HP-NdPdSn reveal paramagnetic behavior with experimental magnetic moments of 3.61(1) μB/Pr atom and 3.66(1) μB/Nd atom, respectively. Low-temperature susceptibility and specific heat data point to inhomogeneous magnetism and spinglass behavior, respectively.

A high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 7.5 GPa and 1673 K led to the formation of the new compound βY2B4O9. In contrast to the already known polymorph αY2B4O9, which crystallizes in the space group C2/c, the reported structure could be solved via single-crystal Xray diffraction in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) and is isotypic to the already known lanthanide borates βDy2B4O9 and βGd2B4O9. Furthermore, the photoluminescence of an europium doped sample of βY2B4O9:Eu3+ (8%) was investigated.

The cobalt borate HP-CoB2O4 was synthesized from Co3O4 and B2O3 under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 6.5 GPa and 950 °C. The structure of HP-CoB2O4 is isotypic to HPNiB2O4 and β -FeB2O4, representing the third example of a borate, in which every BO4 tetrahedron shares a common edge with a second one. HP-CoB2O4 crystallizes in the space group C2/c (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 934.6(2), b = 562.0(2), c = 443.3(1) pm, β = 108.2(1)°, V = 0.2212(1) nm3, R1 = 0.0218, and wR2 = 0.0410 (all data). The structure consists of layers of BO4 tetrahedra, that are interconnected via strings of edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra

AbstractOrthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate DyGaO3 and trigonal gallium orthoborate GaBO3 were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 8.5 GPa/1350 °C and 8 GPa/700 °C, respectively. Both crystal structures could be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature. The orthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate crystallizes in the space group Pnma (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 552.6(2), b = 754.5(2), c = 527.7(2) pm, V = 0.22002(8) nm3, R1 = 0.0309, and wR2 = 0.0662 (all data) and the trigonal compound GaBO3 in the space group R3̅c (Z = 6) with the parameters a = 457.10(6), c = 1419.2(3) pm, V = 0.25681(7) nm3, R1 = 0.0147, and wR2 = 0.0356 (all data).

Single crystals of sodium metaperrhenate, NaReO4, have been obtained by oxidation of rhenium metal with sodium nitrate under high pressure- high temperature conditions (modified Belttype apparatus, 4 kbar, 400 °C, Au-capsules). The crystals are tetragonal, space group I41/a, with a = 5.3654(4), c = 11.732(2) Å and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R - 0.026, Rw = 0.013 for 382 unique, absorption-corrected reflections. The scheelite-type structure for NaReO4, proposed by Beintema in 1937, could be confirmed. It consists of isolated ReO4 tetrahedra (Re-O= 1.728(2) Å ), connected by NaOs dodecahedra (<Na- O > = 2.582(2) Å).

The first high-pressure scandium tellurate HP-Sc2TeO6 was synthesized from an NP-Sc2TeO6 normal-pressure precursor at 12 GPa and 1173 K using a multianvil apparatus (1000 t press, Walker-type module). The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c (no. 13) with a = 729.43(3), b = 512.52(2), c = 1095.02(4) pm and β = 103.88(1)°. The structure was refined from X-ray single-crystal diffractometer data: R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0344, 568 F2 values and 84 variables. HP-Sc2TeO6 is isostructural to Yb2WO6 and is built up from TeO6 octahedra, typical for tellurate(VI) compounds. During synthesis, a reconstructive transition from P321 (normal-pressure modification) to P2/c (high-pressure modification) takes place and the scandium–oxygen distances as well as the coordination number of scandium increase. However, the coordination sphere around the Te6+ cations gets only slightly distorted. High-temperature powder XRD investigations revealed a back-transformation of HP-Sc2TeO6 to the ambient-pressure modification above 973 K.

Monoclinic holmium sesquioxide B-Ho2O3 and orthorhombic holmium orthogallate HoGaO3 were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 11.5 GPa / 1250 °C and 7.5 GPa / 1250 °C, respectively. Both crystal structures could be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at r. t. The monoclinic holmium oxide crystallizes in the space group C2/m (Z = 6) with the parameters a = 1394.7(3), b = 350.83(7), c = 865.6(2) pm, β = 100.23(3)°, R1 = 0.0517, wR2 = 0.1130 (all data), and the orthorhombic compound HoGaO3 in Pnma (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 553.0(2), b = 753.6(2), c = 525.4(2) pm, R1 = 0.0222, and wR2 = 0.0303 (all data).

The title compound has been synthesized under 4 GPa and at 500 ◦C from Na2O andMnO as starting materials. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder pattern indicates that Na6MnO4 is isostructural to Na6ZnO4 and thus is representing the second manifestation of an “isolated” [MnO4]6− anion after Na14Mn2O9. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal system in space group P63mc (no. 186) with a = 7.6631(2) and c = 5.9013(2) ° A, V = 300.1 °A3, and Z = 2.

A single crystal investigation of the high pressure - high temperature phase of BaGe2 (α-ThSi2 type of structure) has been performed. Space group I41/amd has been derived from rotation, Weissenberg and precession photographs. On a four-circle-diffractometer 1082 reflections with 0 ≤ h ≤ 8, 0 ≤ fc ≤ 8, 2̅4̅ ≤ l ≤ 24 have been measured with filtered Mo-radiation. This results in 296 independent reflections. Data of the complete structural analysis are summarized in Tabs. I and II. The final R-values are R = 6.09%, Rw= 4.19%, Rg = 4.95%.
