Abstract: | More Silicates with ?Stuffed Pyrgoms”?: CsKNaLi9{Li[SiO4]}4, CsKNa2Li8{Li[SiO4]}4, RbNa3Li8{Li[SiO4]}4 [1] and RbNaLi4{Li[SiO4]}2 [2] Single crystals of the new silicates CsKNaLi9{Li[SiO4]}4, CsKNa2Li8{Li[SiO4]}4, RbNa3Li8{Li[SiO4]}4 and RbNaLi4{Li[SiO4]}2 as well as powder (Rb-containing compounds only) were obtained for the first time. The samples were prepared by heating well ground mixtures of the binary oxides in Ni and Ag tubes, respectively. The structure determination was carried out by four-circle diffractometer data (MoKα radiation; Siemens AED 2): CsKNaLi9{Li[SiO4]}4: tetragonally prismatic crystals, light yellow; 726 I0(hkl), R = 4.4%, Rw = 2.8%; a = 1 102.0(6), c = 637.9(5) pm; Z = 2; space group I4/m; 2 CsO0.55 + Li4TlO4 + glas (560°C, 15 d). CsKNa2Li8{Li[SiO4]}4: tetragonally prismatic crystals, light yellow; 727 I0(hkl), R = 4.4%, Rw = 2.6%; a = 1 103.5(7), c = 637.7(4) pm; Z = 2; space group I4/m; 1.1 CsO0.61 + 1.1 KO0.55 + 1.4 NaO0.52 + 6.5 Li2O + 4 SiO2 (600°C, 60 d). RbNa3Li8{Li[SiO4]}4: tetragonally prismatic crystals, colourless; 600 I0(hkl), R = 2.3%, Rw = 2.0%; a = 1 092.08(6), c = 632.76(4) pm; Z = 2; space group I4/m; 4 RbO0.57 + 3 NaO0.52 + 6.5 Li2O + 4 SiO2 (650°C, 63 d). RbNaLi4{Li[SiO4]}2: monoclinic, ball-shaped, colourless; 1 224 I0(hkl), R = 3.1%, Rw = 3.1%; a = 1 573.10(13), b = 630.48(5), c = 781.25(8) pm, b = 90.566(8)°; Z = 4; space group C2/m; 1.1 RbO0.52 + 1.2 NaO0.45 + 5 Li2O + 4 SiO2 (700°C, 40 d). |
