The high-pressure synthesis of new hydrides of Mg-RE-H systems, where RE = La, Ce and Pr, were conducted by using a cubic-anvil-type apparatus, and their crystal structure, thermal stabilities and hydrogen contents were investigated. In MgH2-xmol%REH (REH = LaH3, CeH2.5 and PrH3), new hydrides with primitive tetragonal structure were synthesized around x = 25 - 33 under GPa-order high pressures. The lattice constants were a = 0.8193 nm, c = 0.5028 nm, a = 0.8118 nm, c = 0.4979 nm and a = 0.8058 nm, c= 0.4970 nm at x = 25 in Mg-La, Ce and Pr systems, respectively. The hydrogen contents of the novel compounds were 4.1 mass%, 3.7 mass% and 3.9 mass% in Mg-La, Ce and Pr systems, respectively, and the chemical formulas were found to correspond to Mg3LaH9, Mg3CeH8.1 and Mg3PrH9. The new hydrides decomposed into Mg and rare-earth hydride at about 600 K (Mg3LaH9: 614 K, Mg3CeH8.1: 609 K, Mg3PrH9: 630 K) with an endothermic reaction.

AbstractThe title compound was prepared by high-pressure reaction of rhenium metal with technical grade (i.e., Na containing) KO2 in a modified Belt-type apparatus (20 kbar, 1000 °C, 60 min, Au capsule). The amber-coloured crystals are very hygroscopic and decompose rapidly when exposed to air. K3NaRe2O9 crystallizes hexagonally, space group P63/mmc, with a = 6.012(1), c = 14.342(14) Å, c/a = 2.386 and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 0.031, Rw = 0.023 for 422 independent, absorption-corrected reflections with l > σ (I). K3NaRe2O9 is isostructural with 6H-BaTiO3, a perowskite variant, and contains Na and Re in octaedral coordination. Two ReO6 octahedra are face-sharing, thus creating a Re2O9 double octahedron with a Re-R e distance of 2.92 Å.

Abstract The intermetallic compound Rb3Au7 could be synthesized from the elements at 4 kbar, 700 °C in a modified Belt-type apparatus. The structure (Cmmm; a = 5.579(1), b = 13.267(5), c = 7.265(2) Å; Z = 2; R = 0.035, Rw = 0,031) comprises three crystallographically independent Au atoms, arranged in layers along the c-axis. The shortest interatomic distances are Au -Au = 2.633Å, Au -Rb = 3.438Å and Rb -Rb = 3.622Å.

Potassium tungstate, K2WO4, decomposes at high pressures to give K2W2O7 and other products. Single crystals of K2W2O7 could be synthesized from a mixture of K2WO4 + WO3 at 40kbar, 1000 °C. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 3.883(1) A, b = 13.653(4) Å, c = 5.960(1) Å, β = 90.40(3)°, and Ζ = 2.The structure is comprise of distorted WO6-octahedra (W–O = 1.75-2.13 A) which are connected by corner- and edgesharing, thus forming layers with a sequence ABAB ... along [010]. The potassium ions are situated between the layers with K–O distances of 2.66-3.04 A.Rb2W2O7, synthesized from a Rb2WO4/WO3-mixture at 40 kbar, 1000 °C, is isostructural with K2W2O7 (a = 3.9645(4) Å, b = 14.119(1) Å, c = 6.0415(5) Å,β = 90.446(9)°.

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.

The strontium tungstate compound Sr3W2O9 was prepared by a high-pressure synthesis technique. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The structure was found to be a hettotype structure of the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9, which has corner-sharing octahedra with a trigonal symmetry. Sr3W2O9 has a monoclinic unit cell of C2/c symmetry. One characteristic of the structure is the breaking of the threefold rotation symmetry existing in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9. The substitution of Sr at the Ba site results in a significant shortening of the interlayer distances of the [AO3] layers (A = Ba, Sr) and causes a distortion in the crystal structure. In Sr3W2O9, there is an off-centre displacement of W6+ ions in the WO6 octahedra. Such a displacement is also observed in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9.

The new orthorhombic polymorph β-HgB4O7 has been synthesized under high-pressure and hightemperature conditions in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 7.5 GPa and 600 °C. β-HgB4O7 is isotypic to the known ambient pressure phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and the high-pressure phase β-CaB4O7 crystallizing with two formula units in the space group Pmn21 with lattice parameters a = 1065.6(2), b = 438.10(9), and c = 418.72(8) pm. The relation of the crystal structure of the high-pressure phase β-HgB4O7 to the normal pressure phase α-HgB4O7 as well as the relation to the isotypic phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) and β-CaB4O7 are discussed.
