ABSTRACTDuring the past decades the solid state chemistry of tellurium oxides has been enriched by a series of quaternary metallates. Interest attaches not only to the chemical and physical properties of these compounds, but also to their structure, which have been studied by modern methods. The partial similarity of earth alkaline metals and lead in solid state chemistry and their relationships in oxides opens a wide field of investigations. Eight new compounds in the systems Ba-M-Te-O (M= Nb, Ta) and Pb-M-Te-O (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn) were prepared and structurally characterized: Ba2Nb2TeO10, Ba2M6Te2O21 (M = Nb, Ta) and the lead compounds PbMnTeO3, Pb3Ni4.5Te2.5O15, PbCu3TeO7, PbZn4SiTeO10 and the mixed compound PbMn2Ni6Te3O18. The structures of all compounds are based on frameworks of edge and corner sharing oxygen octahedra of the transition metal and the tellurium. Various different channel structures were observed and distinguished. The compounds were prepared by heating from mixtures of the oxides, and the single crystals were grown by flux method or solid state reactions on air. The synthesis conditions were modified to obtained microcrystalline material for purification and structural characterizations, which were carried out using a variety of tools including powder diffraction data and refinements of X-ray data. Relationships between lead transition metal tellurium oxides and the earth alkaline transition metals tellurium oxides are compared.

Frederick Tompkins was a physical chemist of great distinction whose contributions to the development of two research fields, surface science and solid state reactions, were matched by his long service as Secretary and Editor of the Faraday Society. Throughout his career he had the knack of attracting bright young students into his research group and, through a rigorous apprenticeship, turning them out as scientists who went on to occupy senior academic positions around the world. Thus his influence extended well beyond his own immediate contributions. Tompkins's early studies of adsorption (the taking–up of gases by surfaces) on solid surfaces were on polar solids but, although this was always maintained as an interest, perhaps his best–known contributions to adsorption studies were on metal surfaces. Work initiated in the 1950s, based on metal films deposited under stringent conditions and covering a range of different physical techniques, established his reputation firmly in the field of chemisorption on metals. Students and postdoctoral workers of his continued the development of this field. Tompkins was born in Yeovil, Somerset, in 1910, and was pleased to record that his scientific attainment at Yeovil Grammar School, which won him a County Scholarship to Bristol University, was matched by his talent as an essayist and as a pianist. As an undergraduate he was greatly influenced by the teaching of William Garner (FRS 1937) and of John (later Sir John) Lennard–Jones (FRS 1933), and at the age of 20 years he graduated with first–class honours in chemistry and theoretical physics. He completed his PhD at Bristol with Garner, who first introduced him to both surface and solid state chemistry.

Three new compounds, Ag2HgGeS4, Ag2HgSnS4, and Ag2HgSnSe4, crystallizing in the wurtzstannite type structure have been prepared by solid state reactions at 700°C and characterized by X-ray powder methods. A fourth compound of similar composition Ag2HgGeSe4, with an hitherto unknown structure crystallizes cubically with a = 10.796 A.

Two new compounds, Pb6Ba2(BO3)5X (X = Cl, Br), were successfully synthesized by solid-state reactions. First-principles calculations show that they have large birefringence of 0.1582 and 0.1810 at 532 nm.

High-resolution electron microscopy has had a great impact on solid state chemistry. The possibility it offers of directly imaging the structure of solids has made it an unvaluable complement to conventional diffraction methods. Disorder and extended effects have become accessible to observation, superstructures, structural modulations and microphases can be identified and particles down to nanometer size can be studied. Combined with electron diffraction and x-ray microanalysis it is a powerful tool for phase analysis, giving guidance to synthesis of new compounds. Under certain conditions even chemical reactions can be studied in situ at atomic resolution. Numerous examples in be found in the fields of high-temperature superconductors, zeolites, ferroelectrics and solid state ionics.
