| Abstract: | Two new tellurites, NH4RbTe4O9·2H2O and NH4CsTe4O9·2H2O have been synthesized and characterized. The compounds were synthesized hydrothermally, in near quantitative yields, using the alkali metal halide, TeO2, and NH4OH as reagents. The iso-structural materials exhibit layered, two-dimensional structural topologies consisting of TeOx (x=3, 4, or 5) polyhedra separated by NH4+, H2O, Rb+ or Cs+ cations. Unique to these materials is the presence of TeO3, TeO4, and TeO5 polyhedra. Thermogravimetric and infrared spectroscopic data are also presented. Crystal data: NH4RbTe4O9·2H2O: Monoclinic I2/a (no. 15), a=18.917(3) Å, b=6.7002(11) Å, c=21.106(5) Å, β=101.813(2)°, V=2618.5(9) Å3, Z=8; NH4CsTe4O9·2H2O: Monoclinic I2/a (no. 15), a=18.9880(12) Å, b=6.7633(4) Å, c=21.476(2) Å, β=102.3460(10)°, V=2694.2(3) Å3, Z=8. |
