Preparation, Properties, and Crystal Structure of RuSn₆[(Al_1/3–xSi_3x/4)O₄]₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/3) – an Oxide with isolated RuSn₆ Octahedra RuSn₆[(Al_1/3–xSi_3x/4)O₄]₂ is obtained by the solid state reaction of RuO₂, SnO₂, Sn, and Si in an Al₂O₃‐crucible at 1273 to 1373 K. The compound is cubic with the space group Fm 3 m (a = 9.941(1) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0277, wR₂ = 0.0619), a semiconductor and stable in air. Results of Mößbauer measurements as well as bond length‐bond strength calculations justify the ionic formulation Ru²⁺Sn₆²⁺[(Al_1/3–x³⁺Si_3x/4⁴⁺)O₄^2–]₂. The central motif of the crystal structure are separated RuSn₆‐octahedrea. These are interconnected by oxygen atoms, arranged tetrahedrely above the surfaces of the RuSn₆‐octahedrea and partialy filled with Al and Si, respectively. Because of these features the compound can be considered as a variant of the crystal structure type of pentlandite.

The chloro‐derivatives [Fe₂Cl₂(OtBu)₄] ( 2 ), and [Fe₂Cl₄(OtBu)₂] ( 3 ) could be synthesized by ligand exchange between 1 and iron(III)chloride. Each of the molecules 1 , 2 , and 3 consists of two edge‐sharing tetrahedrons, with two tert‐butoxo‐groups as μ₂‐bridging ligands. For the synthesis of the alkoxides 1 , 2 , and 3 diethylether plays an important role. In the first step the dietherate of iron(III)chloride FeCl₃(OEt₂)₂ ( 4 ) is formed. The reaction of iron(III)chloride with tetrabutylammonium methoxide in methanol results in the formation of a tetrabutylammonium methoxo‐chloro‐oxo‐hexairon cluster [N(nBu)₄]₂[Fe₆OCl₆(OMe)₁₂] ( 5 ).

La2Si2O7 im I—Typ: Gemäß La6[Si4O13][SiO4]2 kein echtes Lanthandisilicat

I‐Type La₂Si₂O₇: According to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂ not a Real Lanthanum Disilicate In attempts to synthesize lanthanum telluride silicate La₂Te[SiO₄] (from La, TeO₂, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 1 : 1: 1 : 20, 950 °C, 7 d) or fluoride‐rich lanthanum fluoride silicates (from LaF₃, La₂O₃, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 5 : 2 : 3 : 17, 700 °C, 7 d) in evacuated silica tubes, colourless lath‐shaped single crystals of hitherto unknown I‐type La₂Si₂O₇ (monoclinic, P2₁/c; a = 726.14(5), b = 2353.2(2), c = 1013.11(8) pm, β = 90.159(7)°) were found in the CsCl‐flux melts. Nevertheless, this new modification of lanthanum disilicate does not contain any discrete disilicate groups [Si₂O₇]^6‐ but formally three of them are dismutated into one catena‐tetrasilicate ([Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ unit of four vertex‐linked [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) and two ortho‐silicate anions (isolated [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) according to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂. This compound can be described as built up of alternating layers of these [SiO₄]^4‐ and the horseshoe‐shaped [Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ anions along [010]. Between and within the layers the high‐coordinated La ³⁺ cations (CN = 9 ‐ 11) are localized. The close structural relationship to the borosilicates M₃[BSiO₆][SiO₄](M = Ce ‐ Eu) is discussed and structural comparisons with other catena‐tetrasilicates are presented.

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.

By using NaCl as a flux, Pr₄S₃[Si₂O₇] crystallizes as pale green, transparent single crystals (tetragonal, I4₁/amd, a = 1201.6(1), c = 1412.0(2) pm, Z = 8) with the appearance of slightly compressed octahedra. On the other hand, Pr₃Cl₃[Si₂O₇] emerges as pale green, transparent platelets and crystallizes monoclinically (space group: P2₁, a = 530.96(6), b = 1200.2(1), c = 783.11(8) pm, β = 109.07(1)°, Z = 2). In both crystal structures ecliptically conformed [Si₂O₇]^6– units of two corner‐linked [SiO₄] tetrahedra with Si–O–Si bridging angles of 131° in the sulfide and 148° in the chloride disilicate are present. In Pr₄S₃[Si₂O₇] both crystallographically independent Pr³⁺ cations show coordination numbers of 8 + 1 (5 S^2– and 3 + 1 O^2–) and 9 (3 S^2– and 6 O^2–).

The New Layer‐Silicates Ba₃Si₆O₉N₄ and Eu₃Si₆O₉N₄ The new oxonitridosilicate Ba₃Si₆O₉N₄ has been synthesized in a radiofrequency furnace starting from BaCO₃, amorphous SiO₂ and Si₃N₄. The reaction temperature was at about 1370 °C. The structure of the colorless compound has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis (Ba₃Si₆O₉N₄, space group P3 (no. 143), a = 724.9(1) pm, c = 678.4(2) pm, V = 308.69(9)· 10⁶ pm³, Z = 1, R1 = 0.0309, 1312 independent reflections, 68 refined parameters). The compound is built up of corner sharing SiO₂N₂ tetrahedra forming corrugated layers between which the Ba²⁺ ions are located. Substitution of barium by europium leads to the isotypic compound Eu₃Si₆O₉N₄. Because no single‐crystals could be obtained, a Rietveld refinement of the powder diffractogram was conducted for the structure refinement (Eu₃Si₆O₉N₄, space group P3 (no. 143), a = 711.49(1) pm, c = 656.64(2) pm, V = 287.866(8) ·10⁶ pm³, R_p = 0.0379, R_F² = 0.0638).

Zwei Chloridsilicate des Yttriums: Y3Cl[SiO4]2 und Y6Cl10[Si4O12]

Two Chloride Silicates of Yttrium: Y₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ and Y₆Cl₁₀[Si₄O₁₂] The chloride‐poor yttrium(III) chloride silicate Y₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ crystallizes orthorhombically (a = 685.84(4), b = 1775.23(14), c = 618.65(4) pm; Z = 4) in space group Pnma. Single crystals are obtained by the reaction of Y₂O₃, YCl₃ and SiO₂ in the stoichiometric ratio 4 : 1 : 6 with ten times the molar amount of YCl₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes (7 d, 1000 °C) as colorless, strongly light‐reflecting platelets, insensitive to air and water. The crystal structure contains isolated orthosilicate units [SiO₄]^4– and comprises cationic layers {(Y2)Cl}²⁺ which are alternatingly piled parallel (010) with anionic double layers {(Y1)₂[SiO₄]₂}^2–. Both crystallographic different Y³⁺ cations exhibit coordination numbers of eight. Y1 is surrounded by one Cl^– and 7 O^2– anions as a distorted trigonal dodecahedron, whereas the coordination polyhedra around Y2 show the shape of bicapped trigonal prisms consisting of 2 Cl^– and 6 O^2– anions. The chloride‐rich chloride silicate Y₆Cl₁₀[Si₄O₁₂] crystallizes monoclinically (a = 1061,46(8), b = 1030,91(6), c = 1156,15(9) pm, β = 103,279(8)°; Z = 2) in space group C2/m. By the reaction of Y₂O₃, YCl₃ and SiO₂ in 2 : 5 : 6‐molar ratio with the double amount of YCl₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes (7 d, 850 °C), colorless, air‐ and water‐resistant, brittle single crystals emerge as pseudo‐octagonal columns. Here also a layered structure parallel (001) with distinguished cationic double‐layers {(Y2)₅Cl₉}⁶⁺ and anionic layers {(Y1)Cl[Si₄O₁₂]}^6– is present. The latter ones contain discrete cyclo‐tetrasilicate units [Si₄O₁₂]^8– of four cyclically corner‐linked [SiO₄] tetrahedra in all‐ecliptical arrangement. The coordination sphere around (Y1)³⁺ (CN = 8) has the shape of a slightly distorted hexagonal bipyramid comprising 2 Cl^– and 6 O^2– anions. The 5 Cl^– and 2 O^2– anions building the coordination polyhedra around (Y2)³⁺ (CN = 7) form a strongly distorted pentagonal bipyramid.
