The ternary lanthanum sulfide selenide β -LaS1.86(1)Se0.14(1) was obtained by reaction of the elements in an NaCl flux. The new compound adopts the β -LnS2 structure type and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with lattice parameters of a = 814.77(1), b = 1638.46(1) and c = 413.88(1) pm. Raman lines indicate the presence of mixed (S1−ySey)2− dianions with y ≈ 0.14, besides the well known S22− dianions. The band gap of β -LaS1.86(1)Se0.14(1) is 2.5 eV as determined by optical spectroscopy.

Abstractβ-Y(BO2)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil module at 5.9 GPa/1000°C. The crystal structure has been elucidated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. β-Y(BO2)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with the lattice parameters a=15.886(2), b=7.3860(6), and c=12.2119(9) Å. Its crystal structure will be discussed in the context of the isotypic lanthanide borates β-Ln(BO2)3 (Ln=Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu).

Abstract Single crystals of the new compound Ba2KZn3(B3O6)(B6O13) were obtained by using a B2O3 flux technique; they crystallize in an as yet unknown structure type. X-ray investigations led to the space group Ci1-P1̄ (Nr.2) with lattice parameters a = 705.2(2), b = 712.5(2), c = 1880.3(6), a = 93.43(3)°, β = 90.72(2)°, γ = 119.57(2)°, Z = 2. The structure contains (B3O6)3--rings and a new discrete (B6O13)8- anion, which is composed of two BO4 and two B2O5 units. Zn2+ is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen and two out of three tenfold coordinated Ba-sites are statistically occupied by Ba2+ and K+.

Abstract Dodecatungstosilicates free of crystal water were prepared for the first time by using tetraalkylammonium as cation. The crystal structure of the tetramethylammonium a-dodeeatungstosilicate [N(CH3)4]4SiW12O40 (1) and tetrabutylammonium) β-dodecatungstosilicate, [N(C4H9)4]4SiWi2040 (2) were solved by X-ray diffraction. (1) crystallizes tetragonal in the space group 14̅ with lattice parameters a = 14.642 Å; c= 12.706 Å; (2) orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a = 29.277 Å, b = 22.181 Å and c = 15.381 Å. The differences between the two isomeric heteropolyanions are discussed, especially the distances and angles between the tungsten atoms. Comparison of characteristic differences in the vibrational spectra permits the identification of the isomeric anions.

Abstract Single crystals of the new compound Ba2Zn(B3O6)2 were obtained by using a B2O3 flux technique. They crystallize in an as yet unknown structure type. X-ray investigations led to space group Ci1-P1̄ (Nr.2) with lattice parameters a = 715.5(2), b = 720.5(2), c = 1178.9(4), a = 78.96(2)°, β = 85.45(2)°, γ = 60.12(1)°, Z = 2. The structure is characterized by iso­lated (B3O6)3--rings and contains two ninefold coordinated Ba-sites. Zn2+ is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen. The relation to the crystal structures of high-temperature BaB2O4 and Ba2Ca(B3O6)2 is discussed.

Abstract A mixture of three isomeric clusters of composition Mo3WS4(Et2PS2)6 (3) is obtained by reacting equimolar quantities of Mo3S4(Et2PS2)4, W(CO)3(CH3CN)3 and [Et2P(S)]2S2 in toluene'. Some NMR-spectroscopic data and the magnetic properties of these isomers are reported. Isomer 3a consists of a distorted cubane Mo3WS4, each metal of which is coordinated by six S atoms: three of them belonging to the cubane, one to a bridging and two to a chelating ligand Et2PS2-. The crystal structure of isomer 3b is reported. In 3b only three of the metals in the core are coordinated in this manner while the fourth is surrounded by three S of the cubane and three S of bridging ligands. 3b crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, Z = 8. lattice parameters a = 2184,4(8), b = 2264,4(9). c = 2388.2(8) pm. The crystal structure was refined to R = 0.05 using 5398 observed reflections. By HPLC 3b can be separated into two isomers. 3b1 and 3b2, both differing in the type of metal. Mo or W. bonded to the three bridging ligands

The new binary alkaline earth rich indides Ca2In (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a =727.5(2), b = 537.1(2), c = 999.0(3) pm, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0252, Co2Si structure type) and Sr28In11 (orthorhombic, space group Imm2, a=582.6(3), b=6687.8(9), c=823.5(6) pm, Z =2, R1=0.0571, Ca28Ga11 structure type) have been synthesized from stoichiometric melts of the elements. Both crystal structures exhibit isolated In atoms coordinated by seven to ten alkaline earth atoms. In the crystal structure of Sr5In3 (tetragonal, space group I4/mcm, a = 874.4(3), c = 1642.9(8) pm, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0347, Cr5B3 structure type) isolated In atoms coexist with In2 dumbbells exhibiting short In-In contacts (284.4 pm). The electronic structures of the less elaborate compounds Ca2In and Sr5In3 are discussed in comparison with those of the closely related, nominally electron precise Zintl compounds Ca2Sn and Sr5Sn3.
