Chemical Vapor Transport of Solid Solutions 10 [1] The Chemical Vapor Transport of quarternary Cobalt(II)‐Zinc and Manganese(II)‐Zinc Germanates By means of chemical vapor transport methods using HCl or Cl₂ as transport agent the crystalline solid solutions (Zn_xCo_1—x)₂GeO₄ and (Mn_xZn_1—x)₂GeO₄ have been prepared (1050 → 900 °C, 850 → 700 °C, respectively). ZnGeO₃ — although unknown as a pure solid — can be stabilized as a mixed crystal (Mn_xZn_1—x)GeO₃ (x > 0, 5).     

Chemischer Transport und Sauerstoffionenleitfähigkeit von Mischkristallen im System In2O3/SnO2

Chemical Transport of Solid Solutions. 8. Transport Phenomena and Ionic Conductivity in the In₂O₃/SnO₂ System Chemical transport reactions are a suitable pathway to the preparation of In₂O₃‐rich and SnO₂‐rich mixed crystals coexisting in the In₂O₃/SnO₂ system (Cl₂ as transport agent, 1050 → 900 °C). Experiments are consistent with thermodynamic calculations. The existence of other phases in the system In₂O₃/SnO₂ could not be confirmed. The ionic conductivity of In₂O₃(SnO₂) was investigated.

Contributions on the Bonding Behaviour of Oxygen in Inorganic Solids. III [1] Mn₂P₂O₇, Mn₂P₄O₁₂ und Mn₂Si(P₂O₇)₂ — Crystal Growth, Structure Refinements and Electronic Spectra of Manganese(II) Phosphates By chemical vapour transport reactions in a temperature gradient single crystals of Mn₂P₂O₇ (1050 → 950 °C) and Mn₂P₄O₁₂ (850 → 750 °C) have been obtained using P/I mixtures as transport agent. Mn₂Si(P₂O₇)₂ was crystallized by isothermal heating (850 °C, 8d; NH₄Cl as mineralizer) of Mn₂P₄O₁₂ und SiO₂. In Mn₂Si(P₂O₇)₂ [C 2/c, a = 17.072(1)Å, b = 5.0450(4)Å, c = 12.3880(9)Å, β = 103.55(9)°, 1052 independent reflections, 97 variables, R1 = 0.023, wR2 = 0.061] the Mn²⁺ ions show compressed octahedral coordination (d¯_Mn—O = 2.19Å). The mean distance d¯_Mn—O = 2.18Å was found for the radially distorted octahedra [MnO₆] in Mn₂P₄O₁₂ [C 2/c, Z = 4, a = 12.065(1)Å, b = 8.468(1)Å, c = 10.170(1)Å, β = 119.29(1)°, 2811 independent reflections, 85 variables, R1 = 0.025, wR2 = 0.072]. Powder reflectance spectra of the three pink coloured manganese(II) phosphates have been measured. The spectra show clearly the influence of the low‐symmetry ligand fields around Mn²⁺. Observed d—d electronic transition energies and the results of calculations within the framework of the angular overlap model (AOM) are in good agreement. Bonding parameters for the manganese‐oxygen interaction in [Mn²⁺O₆] chromophors as obtained from the AOM treatment (B, C, Trees correction α, e_σ, e_π) are discussed.     

Beiträge zur Kristallchemie und zum thermischen Verhalten von wasserfreien Phosphaten. XXXIII [1] In2P2O7, ein Indium(I)‐diphosphato‐indat(III) und In4(P2O7)3 — Darstellung,Kristallisation und Kristallstrukturen

Contributions on Crystal Chemistry and Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. XXXIII [1] In₂P₂O₇ an Indium(I)‐diphosphatoindate(III), and In₄(P₂O₇)₃ — Synthesis, Crystallization, and Crystal Structure Solid state reactions via the gas phase lead to the new mixed‐valence indium(I, III)‐diphosphate In₂P₂O₇. Colourless single crystals of In₂P₂O₇ have been grown by isothermal heating of stoichiometric amounts of InPO₄ and InP (800 °C; 7d) using iodine as mineralizer. The structure of In₂P₂O₇ [P2₁/c, a = 7.550(1) Å, b = 10.412(1) Å, c = 8.461(2) Å, b = 105.82(1)°, 2813 independent reflections, 101 parameter, R1 = 0.031, wR2 = 0.078] is the first example for an In⁺ cation in pure oxygen coordination. Observed distances d(In^I‐O) are exceptionally long (d_min(In^I‐O) = 2.82 Å) and support assumption of mainly s‐character for the lone‐pair at the In⁺ ion. Single crystals of In₄(P₂O₇)₃ were grown by chemical vapour transport experiments in a temperature gradient (1000 → 900 °C) using P/I mixtures as transport agent. In contrast to the isostructural diphosphates M₄(P₂O₇)₃ (M = V, Cr, Fe) monoclinic instead of orthorhombic symmetry has been found for In₄(P₂O₇)₃ [P2₁/a, a = 13.248(3) Å, b = 9.758(1) Å, c = 13.442(2) Å, b = 108.94(1)°, 7221 independent reflexes, 281 parameter, R1 = 0.027, wR2 = 0.067].     

Methoxokomplexe drei-, vier- und fünfwertiger Zentralatome

The complex formation with CH₃O^? of As^III, Sb^III, Ge^IV, Nb^IV, Se^IV, Te^IV, Ti^IV, Sn^IV and Mo^V has been investigated in absolute methanolic solutions containing (CH₃)₄NCl, LiCl, or Lithiumtosylate (μ = 1; 20.0°) by means of pH-titrations.

The phase relations in the In2O3A2O3BO systems at elevated temperatures [A: Fe or Ga, B: Cu or Co]

The phase relations in the In₂O₃Fe₂O₃CuO system at 1000°C, the In₂O₃Ga₂O₃CuO system at 1000°C, the In₂O₃Fe₂O₃CoO system at 1300°C, and the In₂O₃Ga₂O₃CoO system at 1300°C were determined by means of a classical quenching method. InFeCuO₄ (a = 3.3743(4) Å, c = 24.841(5) Å), InGaCuO₄ (a = 3.3497(2) Å, c = 24.822(3) Å), and InGaCoO₄ (a = 3.3091(2) Å, c = 25.859(4) Å) having the YbFe₂O₄ crystal structure, In₂Fe₂CuO₇ (a = 3.3515(2) Å, c = 28.871(3) Å), In₂Ga₂CuO₇ (a = 3.3319(1) Å, c = 28.697(2) Å), and In₂FeGaCuO₇ (a = 3.3421(2) Å, c = 28.817(3) Å) having the Yb₂Fe₃O₇ crystal structure, and In₃Fe₃CuO₁₀ (a = 3.3432(3) Å, c = 61.806(6) Å) having the Yb₃Fe₄O₁₀ crystal structure were found as the stable ternary phases. There is a continuous series of solid solutions between InFeCoO₄ and Fe₂CoO₄ which have the spinel structure at 1300°C. The crystal chemical roles of Fe³⁺ and Ga³⁺ in the present ternary systems were qualitatively compared.

Metagerma‐Chemical Vapor Transport of Solid Solutions. 9. The Chemical Vapor Transport of Solid Solutions in the System Iron(II)/(Cobalt(II)‐and Manganese(II)/Cobalt(II) Germanate By means of chemical vapor transport methods (900 → 700 °C) using HCl as transport agent FeGeO₃, Fe₂GeO₄ and MnGeO₃ have been prepared. Co₂GeO₄ and Fe₂GeO₄ as well as CoGeO₃ and FeGeO₃ form continuous crystalline solid solutions, whereas in MnO/CoO/GeO₂ two different phases (Mn_xCo_1‐x)GeO₃ are formed. All of these systems show congruent transport behaviour. Chemical vapor transport has been proved a suitable method to prepare solid solutions.     

[Ge4O6Te4]4—, an Adamantanoid Oxotellurido Germanate(IV) with a Central Ge4O6 Core

[Mn(en)₃]₂[Ge₄O₆Te₄]·1.5en ( 1 ) and (enH)₃[Mn(en)₃]₃[Ge₄O₆Te₄]₂I·4.7en ( 2 ) may be prepared at 150 °C by solvothermal reaction of elemental Ge and Te with Mn(OOCCH₃)₂ ·4H₂O in the presence of [CH₃)₄N]I as a mineralizer in respectively superheated ethylenediamine (en) or an en/CH₃OH (3:2) mixture. Both contain the novel [Ge₄O₆Te₄]^4— anion with a central adamantanoid Ge₄O₆ core and four terminal Te atoms and represent the first examples of such a mixed [M₄E₆E₄′]^4— anion (M = Si‐Sn; E = O‐Te). As a result of their increased polarity, the Ge‐Te bonds of 2 are markedly shorter (2.438 — 2.462Å) than those previously reported for telluridogermanates(IV).     

Homo‐ and Heterovalent Polynuclear Cerium and Cerium/Manganese Aggregates

Reactions of Ce^III(NO₃)₃?6 H₂O or (NH₄)₂[Ce^IV(NO₃)₆] with Mn‐containing starting materials result in seven novel polynuclear Ce or Ce/Mn complexes with pivalato (^tBuCO ) and, in most cases, auxiliary N,O‐ or N,O,O‐donor ligands. With nuclearities ranging from 6–14, the compounds present aesthetically pleasing structures. Complexes [Ce^IV₆(μ₃‐O)₄(μ₃‐OH)₄(μ‐O₂C^tBu)₁₂] ( 1 ), [Ce^IV₆Mn^III₄(μ₄‐O)₄(μ₃‐O)₄(O₂C^tBu)₁₂(ea)₄(OAc)₄]?4 H₂O?4 MeCN (ea^?=2‐aminoethanolato; 2 ), [Ce^IV₆Mn^III₈(μ₄‐O)₄(μ₃‐O)₈(pye)₄(O₂C^tBu)₁₈]₂[Ce^IV₆(μ₃‐O)₄(μ₃‐OH)₄(O₂C^tBu)₁₀(NO₃)₄] [Ce^III(NO₃)₅(H₂O)]?21 MeCN (pye^?=pyridine‐2‐ethanolato; 3 ), and [Ce^IV₆Ce^III₂Mn^III₂(μ₄‐O)₄(μ₃‐O)₄(^tbdea)₂(O₂C^tBu)₁₂(NO₃)₂(OAc)₂]?4 CH₂Cl₂ (^tbdea^2?=2,2′‐(tert‐butylimino]bis[ethanolato]; 4 ) all contain structures based on an octahedral {Ce^IV₆(μ₃‐O)₈} core, in which many of the O‐atoms are either protonated to give (μ₃‐OH)^? hydroxo ligands or coordinate to further metal centers (Mn^III or Ce^III) to give interstitial (μ₄‐O)^2? oxo bridges. The decanuclear complex [Ce^IV₈Ce^IIIMn^III(μ₄‐O)₃(μ₃‐O)₃(μ₃‐OH)₂(μ‐OH)(bdea)₄(O₂C^tBu)_9.5(NO₃)_3.5(OAc)₂]?1.5 MeCN (bdea^2?=2,2′‐(butylimino]bis[ethanolato]; 5 ) contains a rather compact Ce^IV₇ core with the Ce^III and Mn^III centers well‐separated from each other on the periphery. The aggregate in [Ce^IV₄Mn^IV₂(μ₃‐O)₄(bdea)₂(O₂C^tBu)₁₀(NO₃)₂]?4 MeCN ( 6 ) is based on a quasi‐planar {Mn^IV₂Ce^IV₄(μ₃‐O)₄} core made up of four edge‐sharing {Mn^IVCe^IV₂(μ₃‐O)} or {Ce^IV₃(μ₃‐O)} triangles. The structure of [Ce^IV₃Mn^IV₄Mn^III(μ₄‐O)₂(μ₃‐O)₇(O₂C^tBu)₁₂(NO₃)(furan)]?6 H₂O ( 7 ?6 H₂O) can be considered as {Mn^IV₂Ce^IV₂O₄} and distorted {Mn^IV₂Mn^IIICe^IVO₄} cubane units linked through a central (μ₄‐O) bridge. The Ce₆Mn₈ equals the highest nuclearity yet reported for a heterometallic Ce/Mn aggregate. In contrast to most of the previously reported heterometallic Ce/Mn systems, which contain only Ce^IV and either Mn^IV or Mn^III, some of the aggregates presented here show mixed valency, either Mn^IV/Mn^III (see 7 ) or Ce^IV/Ce^III (see 4 and 5 ). Interestingly, some of the compounds, including the heterovalent Ce^IV/Ce^III 4 , could be obtained from either Ce^III(NO₃)₃?6 H₂O or (NH₄)₂[Ce^IV(NO₃)₆] as starting material.     

(Mg1–xCrx)2P2O7, CaCrP2O7, SrCrP2O7 und BaCrP2O7 – Neue Diphosphate des zweiwertigen Chroms

Contributions on Crystal Chemistry and Thermal Behaviour of Anhydrous Phosphates. XXXI. (Mg_1–xCr_x)₂P₂O₇, CaCrP₂O₇, SrCrP₂O₇ and BaCrP₂O₇ – New Diphosphates of Divalent Chromium In the quasi‐binary systems A₂P₂O₇/Cr₂P₂O₇ (A = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) the solid solution (Mg_1–xCr_x)₂P₂O₇ as well as the new compounds CaCrP₂O₇, SrCrP₂O₇, and BaCrP₂O₇ have been synthesized and characterized for the first time. In the whole experimental range (0.01 < x < 0.94; T = 950 °C) the solid solution (Mg_1–xCr_x)₂P₂O₇ is isotypic to the pure phases β‐Mg₂P₂O₇ and β‐Cr₂P₂O₇; but no phase transition (β → α) to a low‐temperature modification, as in Mg₂P₂O₇ and Cr₂P₂O₇, was found. CaCrP₂O₇ ( A ), SrCrP₂O₇ ( B ), and BaCrP₂O₇ ( C ), phases without detectable homogenity range in the other quasi‐binary systems are not structurally related to each other, but are isotypic to the corresponding compounds containing cobalt. [( A ): P‐1, Z = 2, a = 6.312(2) Å, b = 6.499(2) Å, c = 6.916(2) Å, α = 83.12(3)°, β = 88.37(3)°, γ = 67.72(3)°, 3235 independent reflections, R1 = 0.041, wR2 = 0.112; ( C ): P‐1, Z = 2, a = 5.382(8) Å, b = 7.271(8) Å, c = 7.589(4) Å, α = 103.33(7)°, β = 89.91(9)°, γ = 93.6(1)°, 1571 independent reflections, R1 = 0.085, wR2 = 0.31]. We have reported earlier details on SrCrP₂O₇. The coordination of Cr²⁺ by oxygen is distorted octahedral in ( A) , while in the structures of ( B) and ( C) square‐pyramidal environment is found. The results of UV/VIS‐spectroscopic and magnetic measurements as well as IR‐spectra of the diphosphates are reported.     

Multimetal‐Substituted Epsilon‐Iron Oxide ϵ‐Ga0.31Ti0.05Co0.05Fe1.59O3 for Next‐Generation Magnetic Recording Tape in the Big‐Data Era

From the viewpoints of large capacity, long‐term guarantee, and low cost, interest in magnetic recording tapes has undergone a revival as an archive storage media for big data. Herein, we prepared a new series of metal‐substituted ?‐Fe₂O₃, ?‐Ga^III_0.31Ti^IV_0.05Co^II_0.05Fe^III_1.59O₃, nanoparticles with an average size of 18 nm. Ga, Ti, and Co cations tune the magnetic properties of ?‐Fe₂O₃ to the specifications demanded for a magnetic recording tape. The coercive field was tuned to 2.7 kOe by introduction of single‐ion anisotropy on Co^II (S=3/2) along the c‐axis. The saturation magnetization was increased by 44 % with Ga^III (S=0) and Ti^IV (S=0) substitution through the enhancement of positive sublattice magnetizations. The magnetic tape media was fabricated using an actual production line and showed a very sharp signal response and a remarkably high signal‐to‐noise ratio compared to the currently used magnetic tape.     

Chemischer Transport intermetallischer Phasen. 4. Der chemische Transport von Co5Ge3 und CoGe

Chemical Vapor Transport of Intermetallic Systems. Chemical Transport of Co₅Ge₃ and CoGe By means of transport reaction (900 → 700°C, Iodine as transport agent) pure Co₅Ge₃ or Co₅Ge₃ with CoGe as a by-product can be prepared. Thermodynamic calculations allow to understand the reaction semiquantitatively.     

Mechanistic disparity in the electron transfer reactions of thiosulfate with di‐μ‐oxo‐bis(1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane)‐dimanganese(III,IV) and di‐μ‐oxo‐bis(1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane)‐dimanganese(III,IV) complexes

A comparative kinetic study of the reactions of two mixed valence manganese(III,IV) complexes of macrocyclic ligands, [L¹Mn^IV(O)₂Mn^IIIL¹], 1 (L¹ = 1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane) and [L²Mn^IV(O)₂Mn^IIIL²], 2 (L² = 1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane) with thiosulfate has been carried out by spectrophotometry in aqueous buffer at 30°C. Reaction between complex 1 and thiosulfate follows a first‐order rate saturation kinetics. The pH dependency and kinetic evidences suggest the participation of two complex species of Mn^III(μ‐O)₂Mn^IV under the experimental conditions. Detailed kinetic study shows that reduction of 2 proceeds through an autocatalytic path where the intermediate (Mn^III)₂ species has been assumed to catalyze the reaction. The difference in the reaction mechanisms is ascribed to the difference in stability of the intermediate complex species, the evidence for which comes from the electrochemical behavior of the complexes and time dependent EPR spectroscopic measurements during the reduction of 2 . © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Die Tieftemperaturmodifikationen von Ag6Si2O7 und Ag6Ge2O7 – Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und Vergleich der Ag?Ag-Abstände

On the Low Temperature Modifications of Ag₆Si₂O₇ and Ag₆Ge₂O₇ – Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Comparison of Ag? Ag Distances For the first time, single crystals of Ag₆Si₂O₇ and Ag₆Ge₂O₇ have been obtained by solid state reactions of the binary oxides at temperatures of 350°C while applying oxygen pressures of 700 bar. According to the results of X-ray crystal structure determinations both compounds crystallize isostructural in P2₁ (Ag₆Si₂O₇: a = 5.3043(5) Å, b = 9.7533(7) Å, c = 15.9283(13) Å, β = 91.165(8)°, 3881 independent reflections, R1 = 3.3%, wR2 = 7.2%; Ag₆Ge₂O₇: a = 5.3713(4) Å, b = 9.9835(8) Å, c = 16.2249(14) Å, β = 90.904(8)°, 2111 independent reflections, R1 = 4.3%, wR2 = 6.0%, Z = 4). The crystal structures contain two independent M₂O₇^6? anions, one in a staggered, and the other in an ecliptic conformation. The cationic partial structure may be described as a distorted bcc arrangement of Ag⁺ and M⁴⁺. Comparison of the structures with respect to the Ag? Ag separations reveals the latter to be probably due to intrinsic d¹⁰–d¹⁰ bonding interactions as far as the range of 2.89 Å to 3.25 Å is considered.     

Halometallate Complexes of Germanium(II) and (IV): Probing the Role of Cation,Oxidation State and Halide on the Structural and Electrochemical Properties

The Ge^IV chlorometallate complexes, [EMIM]₂[GeCl₆], [EDMIM]₂[GeCl₆] and [PYRR]₂[GeCl₆] (EMIM=1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium; EDMIM=2,3‐dimethyl‐1‐ethylimidazolium; PYRR=N‐butyl‐N‐methylpyrrolidinium) have been synthesised and fully characterised; the first two also by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The imidazolium chlorometallates exhibited significant C?H???Cl hydrogen bonds, resulting in extended supramolecular assemblies in the solid state. Solution ¹H NMR data also showed cation–anion association. The synthesis and characterisation of Ge^II halometallate salts [EMIM][GeX₃] (X=Cl, Br, I) and [PYRR][GeCl₃], including single‐crystal X‐ray analyses for the homologous series of imidazolium salts, are reported. In these complexes, the intermolecular interactions are much weaker in the solid state and they appear not to be significantly associated in solution. Cyclic‐voltammetry experiments on the Ge^IV species in CH₂Cl₂ solution showed two distinct, irreversible reduction waves attributed to Ge^IV–Ge^II and Ge^II–Ge⁰, whereas the Ge^II species exhibited one irreversible reduction wave. The potential for the Ge^II–Ge⁰ reduction was unaffected by changing the cation, although altering the oxidation state of the precursor from Ge^IV to Ge^II does have an effect; for a given cation, reduction from the [GeCl₃]^? salts occurred at a less cathodic potential. The nature of the halide co‐ligand also has a marked influence on the reduction potential for the Ge^II–Ge⁰ couple, such that the reduction potentials for the [GeX₃]^? salts become significantly less cathodic when the halide (X) is changed Cl→Br→I.     

Darstellung und Struktur von U2Ta6O19, einer neuen Verbindung mit „Jahnberg‐Struktur”︁, sowie Anmerkungen zu den ersten Oxidchloriden in den Systemen Th/Nb/O/Cl und Th/Zr(Hf)/Nb/O/Cl

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of U₂Ta₆O₁₉, a New Compound with “Jahnberg‐Structure” and a Note to the First Oxide Chlorides in the Systems Th/Nb/O/Cl and Th/Zr(Hf)/Nb/O/Cl Black crystals of U₂Ta₆O₁₉ with hexagonal shape were obtained (at T₁) by chemical transport using HCl (p (HCl, 298 K) = 1 atm; silica tube) as transport agent in a temperature gradient (T₂ → T₁; 1000 °C → 950 °C) and using a mixture of UO₂, Ta₂O₅, and HfO₂ (or ZrO₂) (1 : 2 : 2) as starting materials (at T₂). For the structure determination the best result was achieved in space group P6₃/mcm (No. 193, a = 6.26(2) Å, c = 19.86(6) Å). U₂Ta₆O₁₉ is isotypical to Th₂Ta₆O₁₉. In the crystal structure each uranium atom is surrounded by oxygen atoms like a bi‐capped trigonal antiprism and tantalum atoms like a pentagonal bipyramid (CN = 7). Like the “Jahnberg Structures” both coordination polyhedra arrange themselves in separate layers (U–O‐polyhedra, in o‐, Ta–O‐polyhedra in p‐layers) so that in the direction of the c‐axis the sequence of layers is p‐p‐o. Using chemical transport it was possible to prepare the compounds Th₁₂Nb₁₆O₆₃Cl₂ and Th₈M₄Nb₁₆O₆₃Cl₂ (M = Zr, Hf), which are the first quaternary and quinquinary examples in these systems. They crystallize isotypically.

The reaction of MCl₃ (M = Ga, In) with Et₄NSH/Et₄NSeH in acetonitrile gave [Et₄N]₃[In₃S₃Cl₆] · MeCN ( 3 ) (P2₁/c; a = 17.328(4) Å, b = 12.694(3) Å, c = 21.409(4) Å, β = 112.18(1)°, Z = 4), [Et₄N]₃[In₃Se₃Cl₆] · MeCN ( 4 ) (P2₁/c; a = 17.460(4) Å, b = 12.816(2) Å, c = 21.513(4) Å, β = 112.16(2)°, Z = 4), and [Et₄N]₃[Ga₃S₃Cl₆] · THF ( 5 ) (P2₁/n; a = 11.967(3) Å, b = 23.404(9) Å, c = 16.260(3) Å, β = 90.75(2)°, Z = 4). The [In₂SX₆]^2? anions (X = Cl, Br) in 1 and 2 consist of two InSX₃ tetrahedra sharing a common sulfur atom. The frameworks of 3, 4 and 5 each contain a six-membered ring of alternating metal and chalcogen atoms. Two terminal chlorine atoms complete a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere around each metal atom.     

K6[Mn2O6] und K6[Fe2 O6] - ein Vergleich

K₆[Mn₂O₆] and K₆[Fe₂O₆] - a Comparison K₆[Mn₂O₆] has been prepared (dark-red single crystals). The structure (a = 8.88₆, b = 6.76₀, c = 11.39₄ Å, γ = 132.1°, space group P2₁, Z = 2, 1151 symmetry independent reflections hk0–hk9, R = 0.051) shows Al₂Cl₆-like anions [Mn₂O₆]^6?. By unit-cell transformation to the monoclinic setting P2₁/a (a = 6.76₀, b = 11.39₄, c = 6.63₈ Å, β = 96,9°) the structural similarity to K₆[Fe₂O₆] becomes evident. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, is calculated.
