Abstract: | On Ternary Oxides of Lead. The Na6PbO5 Na6PbO5 (pale yellow) crystallizes orthorhombic in Cmcm with a=10.68, b=5.709, c=10.99, å; Z=1. Parameters were refined by least-squares (479 hkO–hk7, MO–Kα) R=0.1124, R′=0.116, (parameters see text). Isolated PbO5 groups of pseudotetragonal pyramids lend Pb4+ Coordination Number (CN) 5. Along 100] and 010] the pyramids are equivalent orientated, but along 001] alternately twisted by 180°. Na+ occupies holes between O2?, leading to CN 6 (Na″+) and Na″′+ and CN 4 (Na′+). The MADELUNG part of lattice energy (MAPLE) is calculated and discussed. |
