AbstractLi3K3Eu7(BO3)9 was prepared by high-temperature solid state synthesis at 900°C in a platinum crucible from lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, boric acid, and europium(III) oxide. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 (no. 29) (Z=4). The structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: a=21.126(2), b=6.502(2), c=17.619(2) Å, V=2420.1(2) Å3, R1=0.0183 and wR2=0.0412 for all data. The crystal structure of Li3K3Eu7(BO3)9 is isotypic to Li3K3Y7(BO3)9 featuring isolated BO3 units and LiO6 octahedra forming [Li3B4O21] units in the ac plane, which are linked by additional BO3 units. The K+ and Eu3+ cations are arranged in the cavities of the structure.

AbstractBaSr2Ge3O9 was prepared by high-temperature solid-state synthesis at 1100°C in a platinum crucible from barium carbonate, strontium carbonate, and germanium(IV) oxide. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ (no. 2) isotypically to walstromite BaCa2Si3O9. The structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: a=7.104(5), b=10.060(7), c=7.099(5) Å, α=83.0(2), β=77.0(2), γ=70.2(2)°, V=464.3(6) Å3, R1=0.0230, and wR2=0.0602 for all data. BaSr2Ge3O9 is characterized by three-membered rings of germanate tetrahedra. There are three crystallographically different Ge sites (Ge1, Ge2, and Ge3) in each [Ge3O9]6− ring. The rings occur in layers with the apices of alternating rings pointing in opposite directions. The Sr2+ and Ba2+ ions are located in between. The Sr1 cation is eight-fold coordinated, while Sr2 is octahedrally surrounded by oxide anions, and the Ba cation again eight-fold coordinated.

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.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

Three isostructural transition-metal arsenides and germanides, namely niobium nickel arsenide, Nb0.92(1)NiAs, niobium cobalt arsenide, NbCoAs, and niobium nickel germanide, NbNiGe, were obtained as inadvertent side products of high-temperature reactions in sealed niobium containers. In addition to reporting for the very first time the structures of the title compounds, refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, this article also serves as a reminder that niobium containers may not be suitable for the synthesis of ternary arsenides and germanides by traditional high-temperature reactions. Synthetic work involving alkali or alkaline-earth metals, transition or early post-transition metals, and elements from groups 14 or 15 under such conditions may yield Nb-containing products, which at times could be the major products of such reactions.

The crystal structure of both samples has been solved by powder X-ray diffraction, data in the tetragonal space group I4/m (a= b= 5.55182 Å, c =7.86955 A0) for SrLaFeNi0.5W0.5O6sample and (a=b= 5.49129Å, c= 7.82233Å) for CaLaFeNi0.5W0.5O6 sample, and shows an almost perfect ordering between Ni2+ and W5+ cations at the B-site of the perovskite structure. The FTIR spectrometer used of the powders showed that the spectra of both are very similar, showing two strong and well-defined absorption bands, typical of perovskite materials.

A new caesium sodium samarium borate phosphate, CsNa2Sm2(BO3)(PO4)2, has been obtained successfully by the high-temperature solution growth (HTSG) method and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. The structure contains BO3, PO4, NaO7 and SmO7 polyhedra which are interconnected via corner- or edge-sharing O atoms to form a three-dimensional [Na2Sm2(BO3)(PO4)2]∞ network. This network delimits large cavities where large Cs+ cations reside to form the total structure. Under 402 nm light excitation, CsNa2Sm2(BO3)(PO4)2 exhibits three emission bands due to the 4f→4f transitions of Sm3+. Furthermore, we introduced Gd3+ into Sm3+ sites to optimize the Sm3+ concentration and improve the luminescence intensity. The optimal concentration is Gd/Sm = 98/2. The luminescent lifetime of a series of CsNa2Gd2(1–x)Sm2x (BO3)(PO4)2 phosphors shows a gradual degradation of lifetime from 2.196 to 0.872 ms for x = 0.01–0.10. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) 1931 calculation reveals that CsNa2Gd1.96Sm0.04(BO3)(PO4)2 can emit orange light under 402 nm excitation.
