AbstractThe simple rules, based on the bond-valence matching and coordination numbers balance, are extended to minimum-size polyhedral cluster in order to describe all probable bonding topologies for a given inorganic substance. This approach, referred to as the Extended Bond-Valence Model (EBVM), allows one to construct the corresponding connectivity matrices and then to calculate predicted bond valences and bond lengths. The subsequent estimates of individual and average bond distortion indices make it possible to select most probable bonding geometry and compare it with experimental data, whenever feasible. The EBVM approach is applied to predict the bonding topologies of Al

Bond-valence parameters r 0 and b, relating bond valence and bond length, are calculated for interactions between the ammonium ion and anions X = O, F, Cl. Searches in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and in the Inorganic Crystal Structural Database (ICSD) were performed to obtain the lengths of NH4 +...X contacts for ammonium ion environments in different structures. The procedure, which represents an extension of previous methods, allows certain environments to be rejected and enables the calculation of r 0 and b from a reasonable range of interaction distances. Results are in very good agreement with the expected values on the basis of the assumed bond-valence model and their overall applicability to ammonium ion interactions is discussed.

Abstract Molecular dynamic models are created for properties of bivalent ions in organic solvents. It is shown that molecules of the considered solvents bound to ions via oxygen atoms. A theoretical model is developed that describes the ion coordination number. The coordination number in this model is determined by the ratio between the sizes of the ion and the atom organic molecule bound to it. It is shown that the coordination number depends weakly on the solvent and strongly on the type of ion. A value of 0.13 nm is obtained for the effective size of an oxygen atom bound to a bivalent ion. The constructed theoretical model agrees with the results from molecular dynamic calculations and the available experimental data.

VALMAP2.0 is a Microsoft-Windows-based program designed to assist material scientists in accurate structural investigations. The aim ofVALMAPis to calculate the sum of bond valences that a particular atom would have if it were placed at any arbitrary point in the crystal. By movement of this atom through all possible points, its valence-sum contour map can be displayed. Parameters of the bond-valence model are available and may be modified. The program was tested in a number of cases and two examples of applications are reported: (i) finding probable atom sites in crystal structures; (ii) displacive and order–disorder phase transition mechanisms, analysing steric effects.

In the present bond-valence model (BVM), the bond-valence parameters r 0 and b are, in general, supposed to be constant for each A–X pair and equal to 0.37 Å for all A–X pairs, respectively. For [A i (X j ) n ] coordination polyhedra that do not deviate strongly from regularity, these suppositions are well fulfilled and calculated values for the bond-valence sums (BVS) i are nearly equal to the whole-number values of the stoichiometric valence. However, application of the BVM to 2591 [L i (X j ) n ] polyhedra, where L are p-block cations, i.e. cations of the 13th to 17th group of the periodic system of elements, with one lone electron pair and X = O−II, S−II and Se−II, shows that r 0i values of individual [LX n ] polyhedra are correlated with the absolute value |Φ i | of an eccentricity parameter, Φ i , which is higher for more distorted [LX n ] polyhedra. As a consequence, calculated (BVS) i values for these polyhedra are also correlated with |Φ i |, rather than being numerically equal to the stoichiometric valence of L. This is interpreted as the stereochemical influence of the lone electron pair of L. It is shown that the values of the correlation parameters and the R 2 values of the correlation equations depend on the position of the L cation in the periodic system of elements, if the correlations are assumed to be linear. This observation suggests that (BVS) L describes a chemical quantity that is different from the stoichiometric valence of L.
