Several new alkali metal oxometallates with anions built up from tetrahedral [MO4] units were obtained in reactions aimed at the formation of alkali metal suboxometallates or by thermally decomposing the latter. Rubidium orthoaluminate tetrahydroxide Rb9(AlO4)(OH)4 crystallizes with a new structure type (space group P21/c, a = 13.116(1), b = 6.9266(5), c = 18.934(2) A , β = 92.05(1)°, V = 1719.0(3) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0352) and contains orthoaluminate anions [AlO4]5− and isolated hydroxide anions. Rubidium orthogallate Rb5GaO4 crystallizes with the Na5GaO4 structure type (space group Pbca, a = 6.9318(5), b = 21.309(2), c = 11.740(1) Å, V = 1734.2(3) Å3, Z = 8, R1 = 0.0423) with isolated orthogallate anions [GaO4]5−. Cesium chromate oxide Cs10(CrO4)2O adopts the Cs10(GeO4)2O structure type (space group P21/c, a = 12.903(1), b = 11.4523(8), c = 19.074(3) Å , β = 127.903(8)°,V = 2223.9(4) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0326) with orthochromate(IV) anions [CrO4]4− and isolated oxide anions. In all orthometallates the anions [MO4]n− deviate only slightly from ideal tetrahedral symmetry. Cesium diindate Cs8In2O7 crystallizes with the Cs8Fe2O7 structure type (space group P21/c, a = 7.4307(6), b = 18.6181(14), c = 7.2639(6) Å , β = 119.225(8)°, V = 877.0(1) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0349). A single-crystal structure investigation at r. t. has shown linear diindate units, but the temperature dependence of the libration angles from TLS studies for the bridging oxygen atom suggests a slightly bent and dynamically disordered diindate anion.

Abstract We report on the syntheses and single-crystal structure determinations of the compounds A 2SiF6 (A = Tl, Rb, Cs). In comparison to the previous powder-based structure models we achieved more precise atom positions and distances. The compounds crystallize in the K2PtCl6 structure type, space group Fm 3 ‾ $‾{3}$ m (No. 225, cF36) with a = 8.4749(10) Å, V = 608.7(2) Å3, Z = 4 at T = 100 K for Tl2SiF6, a = 8.3918(10) Å, V = 591.0(2) Å3, Z = 4 at T = 100 K for Rb2SiF6, and a = 8.8638(11) Å, V = 696.4(3) Å3, Z = 4 at T = 200 K for Cs2SiF6. For the compound Tl3[SiF6]F we present a previously unknown tetragonal modification and correct the crystal structure of its trigonal modification to hexagonal. The tetragonal one crystallizes in the (NH4)3[SiF6]F structure type, space group P4/mbm (No. 127, tP22) with a = 8.0313(8), c = 5.8932(6) Å, V = 380.13(7) Å3, Z = 2, T = 298 K, and the crystal structure of the hexagonal modification is best described in space group P63 mc (No. 186, hP22) with a = 7.8248(4), c = 6.8768(4) Å, V = 364.64(4) Å3, Z = 2, T = 100 K.

Colorless needles of the arsenite bromide La3OBr[AsO3]2 were synthesized from ammonium dihydrogen arsenate, ammonium bromide and lanthanum oxide in an NaBr/KBr flux at 900 °C. La3OBr[AsO3]2 crystallizes with the centrosymmetric tetragonal La3OCl[AsO3]2 type, space group P42/mnm. The structure was refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: a = 13.0431(15), c = 5.6127(7) Å , wR2 = 0.0454, 945 F2 values, and 39 variables. It consists of chains of trans-edge-sharing OLa4/2 tetrahedra which are coordinated by [AsO3]3− units via the oxygen atoms

Abstract Eu11Sb10 crystallizes in the tetragonal Ho11Ge10 structure type, space group I4/mmm, with a = 12.325(2), c = 18.024(4) Å; Z = 4. Large thermal parameters of certain atoms and unusual interatomic distances might suggest that the true structure is slightly distorted, but attempts to desymmetrize the structure were unsuccessful. Analogous anomalies occur in most of the other representatives of the Ho11Ge10 type. Eu11Sb10 appears to be metallic. It contains divalent Eu and is antiferromagnetic below TN ≈ 5 K. Other new representatives of the Ho11Ge10 structure type are Sr11Sb10, Sr11Bi10 and Ba11Sb10.

Abstract The crystal structure of [Mg(H2O)6](N3)2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (421 independent observed MoKα-counter reflections. R = 0.037). The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Fmmm, Z = 4, a = 644.3(1), b = 1134.4(1), c = 1333.5(3) pm. The magnesium atoms are octahedrally coordinated to six oxygen atom s of water molecules, the azide groups are not coordinated to metal atoms, N -N = 117.0(2) pm.

The single-crystal study of Sb2Tl7 confirms the work of Morral and Westgren. The crystal is cubic with a = 11.618(6) Å and space group of Im3m. There are 54 atoms per unit cell. It is the only known example of this structure type which can be considered as a true superlattice of CsCl. The structure was determined using 106 observed reflections measured on a G.E. XRD-6 diffractometer. The final R and Rw were 0.097 and 0.060, respectively. The Tl–Tl distances range from 3.21 to 3.55 Å and the mean Sb-Tl distance is 3.27 Å. There is no Sb–Sb contact in the structure

The title compounds were synthesized at temperatures between 775 and 1175 K from (mostly stoichiometric) mixtures of Fe2O3, elemental rubidium or potassium (A) and their hyperoxides AO2. The structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The alkaline rich ferrate(III) Rb8[Fe2O7] (Cs8[Fe2O7] structure type, space group P21/c, a = 696.7, b = 1722.1, c = 692.0 pm, β = 119.40°, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0496) exhibits diferrate anions [Fe2O7]8- composed of two vertexsharing [FeIIIO4] tetrahedra with a linear Fe-O-Fe bridge and nearly ideal 3m symmetry. This is in marked contrast to the Na homologue, where the diferrate anions are decidedly angular. In the series A3[FeO3], the anions in the compounds of the light alkaline cations are chains 1∞[FeO2O2/2]3−, but similar to the isotypic K6[Fe2O6] and to Cs6[Fe2O6] the new ferrate Rb6[Fe2O6] (K6Fe2O6 structure type, space group C2/m, a=741.8(2), b=1148.7(2), c=680.08(12) pm, β =103.65(2)°, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0370) contains isolated binuclear anions [O2FeO2FeO2]6− composed of two edge sharing [FeO4] tetrahedra. The new potassium ferrate of the series A4[Fe2O5], K4[Fe2O5] (space group P21/c, a = 645.91(14), b = 593.69(13), c = 1003.0(2) pm, β = 103.124(4)°, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0355), constitutes a new structure type, but its structure is still closely related to the Na compound, which crystallizes in the isomorphous subgroup P21/n with a doubled a axis. Both compounds are phylloferrates with layers 2∞[Fe2O5]4− consisting of six-membered rings of [FeO4] tetrahedra. In contrast, Rb4[Fe2O5] contains chains of vertex and edge sharing tetrahedra, so that in both series, A3[FeO3] and A4[Fe2O5], the linkedness of the ferrate tetrahedra increases with the ionic radii of the A counterions.

AbstractCrystals of LiA[N(CN)2]2 were obtained from the reaction of LiCl and ACl (A = K or Rb) with Ag[N(CN)2] in water and subsequent evaporation of the filtered solution at 80 °C under normal atmospheric conditions. Crystals of the title compound form thin rectangular plates that are transparent, colorless, and very fragile. Single-crystal structure analyses have shown that both compounds are isotypic and adopt the tetragonal space group I4/mcm (no. 140, Z = 4) with the cell parameters a = 701.53(12) and c = 1413.7(5) pm for LiK[N(CN)2]2 and a = 730.34(10) and c = 1414.4(4) pm for LiRb[N(CN)2]2. The crystal structure is described and compared to that of the pseudo-binary alkali metal dicyanamides.

AbstractThe diarsenates MM′As2O7 (M = Sr, Ba; M′ = Cd, Hg) were prepared under hydrothermal conditions (~200 °C, autogenous pressure), starting from As2O5 and the corresponding metal oxides or precursor compounds thereof in aqueous solutions. Structure analyses on the basis of single crystal X-ray data revealed the four structures to be isotypic. They are the first diarsenates to crystallize in the triclinic BaZnP2O7 structure type (space group P1̅, Z = 2, a ≈ 5.8 Å, b ≈ 7.3 Å, c ≈ 7.6 Å, α ≈ 101°, β ≈ 91°, γ ≈ 98°). All related MM′As2O7 diarsenates reported so far (M = Sr, Ba, Pb; M′ = Mg, Co, Cu, Zn) crystallize in the monoclinic α-Ca2P2O7 structure type (P21/n, Z = 4). Hence, the size of the divalent M′ cation determines which of the two structure types is adopted.

The crystal structure of Ho5GaSb3 is a ternary derivative of the Sm5Ge4 structure type with partially ordered distribution of gallium and antimony atoms
