The formal charges of Cr ions in Ba₃CrS₅ and Ba₃Cr₂S₆ are 4+ and 3+, respectively.     

A rare multi-coordinate tellurite, NH4ATe4O9·2H2O (ARb or Cs): The occurrence of TeO3, TeO4, and TeO5 Polyhedra in the same material

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 TeO_x (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.

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the new mixed-valence vanadate Na2SrV3O9

The new complex oxide Na₂SrV₃O₉ was synthesized and investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. This oxide has a monoclinic unit cell with parameters a=5.416(1) Å, b=15.040(3) Å, c=10.051(2) Å, β=97.03(3)°, space group P2₁/c and Z=4. The crystal structure of Na₂SrV₃O₉, as determined from X-ray single-crystal data, is built up from isolated chains formed by square V⁴⁺O₅ pyramids. Neighboring pyramids are linked by two bridging V⁵⁺O₄ tetrahedra sharing a corner with each pyramid. The Na and Sr atoms are situated between the chains. Electron diffraction and HREM investigations confirmed the crystal structure. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility indicates low-dimensional magnetic behavior with a sizeable strength of the magnetic intra-chain exchange J of the order of 80 K, which is very likely due to superexchange through the two VO₄ tetrahedra linking the magnetic V⁴⁺ cations.     

Sr4AlNbO8: A new crystal structure type determined from powder X-ray data

Sr₄AlNbO₈ was synthesized at 1500 °C in air. The crystal structure was initially determined from powder X-ray diffraction data, and later refined with combined X-ray and neutron diffraction data (P2₁/c; a=7.17592(2) Å, b=5.80261(2) Å, c=19.7408(1) Å; β=97.5470(1)°, V=814.869(3) Å³, Z=4, R_p/R_wp=10.04%/13.18% for X-ray data, 4.40%/5.67% for neutron data, and 7.71%/10.74% in total with χ² of 3.76, 23 °C). The crystal structure is a new structure type and may be described as a three-dimensional polyhedral network resulting from the corner-sharing of NbO₆ and Sr1O₆ octahedra and AlO₄ tetrahedra. Also, the other strontium atoms (Sr2, Sr3, and Sr4) occupy the larger cavities surrounded by oxygen atoms to form nine, eight, and 11 coordination, respectively. Considering that Sr, Al, and Nb atoms are crystallographically distinct in terms of interatomic distances and polyhedral coordination, Sr₄AlNbO₈ can be regarded as a stoichiometric compound.

The photoluminescence of 1a can be modified from green-blue to white by means of a simple heat-treatment process. The white-light-emission of sample 1c makes the pentaborate a good candidate for display and lighting applications in the white LED.     

Transition metal tetramolybdate dihydrates MMo4O13·2H2O (M=Co,Ni) having a novel pillared layer structure

Hydrothermal synthesis in the M/Mo/O (M=Co,Ni) system was investigated.

The 2D Mo-O sheet is made up of infinite straight ribbons built up by corner-sharing of four molybdenum octahedra (two MoO₆ and two MoO₅OH₂) sharing edges. These infinite ribbons are similar to the straight ones in triclinic-K₂Mo₄O₁₃ having 1D chain structure, but are linked one after another by corner-sharing to form a 2D sheet structure, like the twisted ribbons in BaMo₄O₁₃·2H₂O (or in orthorhombic-K₂Mo₄O₁₃) are.
