Phase evolution, phase transition, raman spectra, infrared spectra, and microwave dielectric properties of low temperature firing (K(0.5x)Bi(1-0.5x))(Mo(x)V(1-x))O4 ceramics with scheelite related structure

In the present work, the (K(0.5x)Bi(1-0.5x))(Mo(x)V(1-x))O(4) ceramics (0≤x ≤ 1.00) were prepared via the solid state reaction method and sintered at temperatures below 830 °C. At room temperature, the BiVO(4) scheelite monoclinic solid solution was formed in ceramic samples with x < 0.10. When x lies between 0.1-0.19, a BiVO(4) scheelite tetragonal phase was formed. The phase transition from scheelite monoclinic to scheelite tetragonal phase is a continuous, second order ferroelastic transition. High temperature X-ray diffraction results showed that this phase transition can also be induced at high temperatures about 62 °C for x = 0.09 sample, and has a monoclinic phase at room temperature. Two scheelite tetragonal phases, one being a BiVO(4) type and the other phase is a (K,Bi)(1/2)MoO(4) type, coexist in the compositional range 0.19 < x < 0.82. A pure (K,Bi)(1/2)MoO(4) tetragonal type solid solution can be obtained in the range 0.82 ≤ x ≤ 0.85. Between 0.88 ≤ x ≤ 1.0, a (K,Bi)(1/2)MoO(4) monoclinic solid solution region was observed. Excellent microwave dielectric performance with a relative dielectric permittivity around 78 and Qf value above 7800 GHz were achieved in ceramic samples near the ferroelastic phase boundary (at x = 0.09 and 0.10).     

Alloyed (ZnS)(x)(Cu2SnS3)(1-x) and (CuInS2)(x)(Cu2SnS3)(1-x) nanocrystals with arbitrary composition and broad tunable band gaps

Cu(2)SnS(3) nanocrystals with metastable zincblende and wurtzite structures have been successfully synthesized for the first time. Alloyed (ZnS)(x)(Cu(2)SnS(3))(1-x) and (CuInS(2))(x)(Cu(2)SnS(3))(1-x) nanocrystals with arbitrary composition (0 ≤x≤ 1) and ultra-broad tunable band gaps (3.63 to 0.94 eV) were obtained.     

双晶格不匹配层状化合物的研究现状

双晶格不匹配层状化合物是一类具有两套次级晶格（两组晶胞常数）的复杂层状化合物,可分为氧化物和非氧化物两大类。对其结构和性能的研究是近些年刚刚引起人们关注的新领域。非氧化物类双晶格不匹配层状化合物的化学通式为[(MX)_n]_x(TX₂)_m,其中M=Sn, Pb, Bi及稀土元素等;X=S, Se等;n=1,3/2,2;x值在1.08-1.23之间; T为过渡金属元素;m=1, 2, 3等。双晶格不匹配层状氧化物的化学通式为A_α [(MO)_n]_x(TO₂)_m,其中A=Tl, Bi; M=Ca, Sr, Bi, Co; T=Co, Cr; α=0-0.41; n=1, 3/2, 2; m=1, 2等,x的值与化合物的组成有关。本文对该类化合物的分类、结构特点、合成方法以及性质等进行了总结,并对其研究的发展趋势进行了展望。     

Correlation of crystal structure, dielectric properties and lattice vibration spectra of (Ba(1-x)Sr(x))(Zn(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3 solid solutions

(Ba(1-x)Sr(x))(Zn(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) (BSZN) (x = 0.0, 0.50, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 1.0) solid solutions were synthesized by a conventional solid-state sintering technique. Vibration spectra (Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform far-infrared reflection spectroscopy, FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to evaluate the crystal structures and phonon modes of these solid solutions. Dielectric constants (ε(r)) and temperature coefficient of capacitances (τ(c)) were examined to reveal the correlation of the dielectric properties and the crystal structures. The results show that with the increase in Sr(2+) content, the lattice structures of ceramics turn gradually from disordered cubic structure to ordered structure because antiphase tilting of the oxygen octahedra occurs where x≥ 0.65, which is the main reason for the phase transitions and variation of crystal structure. The appearance of the phase transitions is associated with variation of the symmetry structure, from cubic (Pm ?3m, where x = 0) to pseudocubic (I4/mcm, where 0.65 ≤x < 1.0) and then to hexagonal (P ?3ml, where x = 1.0). New phonon modes appear at around 250 cm(-1) in Raman spectra where x≥ 0.65, and there is also a different phonon mode appearing at 156 cm(-1) in the FTIR spectra at the same x range. The appearance of the new phonon modes is the characteristic of ceramics whose oxygen octahedra have tilted with Sr(2+) concentration where x≥ 0.65. The Raman shifts are related to the rigidity of the oxygen octahedra, while the widths of peaks are correlated with τ(c). The FTIR spectra were subjected to the Kramers-Kronig analysis, and the imaginary part of the dielectric constant was analyzed in detail.     

Les Phases KxMnO2 (x ≤ 1)

The K_xMnO₂ Phases (x ≤ 1) The investigation of the manganese-oxygen-potassium system for K/Mn ratios ≤1 leads to new phases having vacancy layer structures with oxygen packing AABBCC and AABB; The distorsions vary with the content of manganese(III). The larger size of potassium atoms allows only the formation of a hollandite type tunnel phase.     

Vibrational modes and structural characteristics of (Ba(0.3)Sr(0.7))[(Zn(x)Mg(1-x))(1/3)Nb(2/3)]O3 solid solutions

(Ba(0.3)Sr(0.7))[(Zn(x)Mg(1-x))(1/3)Nb(2/3)]O(3) (BSZMN) (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) solid solution ceramics were synthesized by the conventional solid-state sintering technique. Vibration spectra (Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform far-infrared reflection spectroscopy, short for FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to evaluate the correlation between crystal structures and vibration modes of these solid solutions as a function of Mg(2+) ions replaced by Zn(2+) ions. It is verified that these ceramics present a phase transition, i.e., the crystal structure changes from hexagonal phase (P ?3m1, where x≤ 0.4) to the pseudocubic phase (I4/mcm, where x≥ 0.8) with increasing Zn(2+) content. The phase transition is a gradual process, the sample where x = 0.6 is of the transition phase, i.e., at x = 0.6, phase transition begins to appear from hexagonal phase to pseudocubic phase but is not complete. The phase transition is also verified by the FTIR spectra. Tilting of oxygen octahedra is the main reason for the phase transition. The phonon modes of the vibration spectra were assigned, the position and width were determined, and the correlation of phonon vibrations with the microstructure for the different atoms substituted in B'-site was found.     

Stabilization and study of SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O2 oxides with infinite-layer structure

A series of layered oxides of nominal composition SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(2) (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) have been prepared by the reduction of three-dimensional perovskites SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(3-δ) with CaH(2) under mild temperature conditions of 583 K for 2 days. The samples with x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2 exhibit an infinite-layer crystal structure where all of the apical O atoms have been selectively removed upon reduction. A selected sample (x = 0.2) has been studied by neutron powder diffraction (NPD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Both techniques indicate that Fe and Mn adopt a divalent oxidation state, although Fe(2+) ions are under tensile stress whereas Mn(2+) ions undergo compressive stress in the structure. The unit-cell parameters progressively evolve from a = 3.9932(4) ? and c = 3.4790(4) ? for x = 0 to a = 4.00861(15) ? and c = 3.46769(16) ? for x = 0.2; the cell volume presents an expansion across the series from V = 55.47(1) to 55.722(4) ?(3) for x = 0 and 0.2, respectively, because of the larger effective ionic radius of Mn(2+) versus Fe(2+) in four-fold coordination. Attempts to prepare Mn-rich compositions beyond x = 0.2 were unsuccessful. For SrFe(0.8)Mn(0.2)O(2), the magnetic properties indicate a strong magnetic coupling between Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) magnetic moments, with an antiferromagnetic temperature T(N) above room temperature, between 453 and 523 K, according to temperature-dependent NPD data. The NPD data include Bragg reflections of magnetic origin, accounted for with a propagation vector k = ((1)/(2), (1)/(2), (1)/(2)). A G-type antiferromagnetic structure was modeled with magnetic moments at the Fe/Mn position. The refined ordered magnetic moment at this position is 1.71(3) μ(B)/f.u. at 295 K. This is an extraordinary example where Mn(2+) and Fe(2+) ions are stabilized in a square-planar oxygen coordination within an infinite-layer structure. The layered SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(2) oxides are kinetically stable at room temperature, but in air at ~170 °C, they reoxidize and form the perovskites SrFe(1-x)Mn(x)O(3-δ). A cubic phase is obtained upon reoxidation of the layered compound, whereas the starting precursor SrFeO(2.875) (Sr(8)Fe(8)O(23)) was a tetragonal superstructure of perovskite.     

Synthesis and properties of V6O16CU(C4H4N2)2 x (H2O)(0.22(1)): charge density matching of a metal-segregated layer structure

A metal-segregated layered compound, containing square nets of Cu(pyz)(2)(2+) and buckled V(6)O(16)(2)(-) layers, has been synthesized using hydrothermal techniques to have the composition V(6)O(16)Cu(C(4)H(4)N(2))(2) x (H(2)O)(0.22(1)) (C(4)H(4)N(2) = pyrazine, pyz). The Cu(II) square nets are nearly regular and undergo an antiferromagnetic transition at 8 K. In contrast to the plethora of recently synthesized metal-oxide clusters, chains, and networks in the VO(x)/M/L (M = late transition element; L = organonitrogen ligand) system, this compound is a relatively rare example that contains two different metals distributed into distinct layers. An application of charge density matching to form layered structures is postulated.     

Synthesis of high voltage (4.9 V) cycling LiNixCoyMn(1-x-y)O2 cathode materials for lithium rechargeable batteries

Layered mixed oxides LiNi(x)Co(y)Mn(1-x-y)O(2) (0 ≤x, y≤ 0.5) synthesized by a sol-gel method using tartaric acid as a chelating agent, and their structural and electrochemical properties are investigated by thermal analysis, XRD, SEM, FT-IR and XPS studies. The higher composition of Co leads to cation disorder and shrinks the cell volume. Electrochemical behaviour of the synthesized materials is evaluated by Galvanostatic charge/discharge studies using 2016 type coin cells. The cycling studies are carried out in the voltage limits of 2.7 to 4.6, 4.8 and 4.9 V at current rates of C/10 and C/5 respectively. The composition LiNi(0.4)Co(0.1)Mn(0.5)O(2) exhibits an average discharge capacity of 192 mA h g(-1) at the current density of 0.612 mA cm(-2) (C/5) in the voltage range of 2.7-4.9 V as compared to the discharge capacity of 155 and 175 mA h g(-1) in the potential range of 2.7-4.6 and 2.7-4.8 V over the 50 investigated cycles. The effect of higher charge voltage at 4.9 V on the electrochemical performance of LiNi(x)Co(y)Mn(1-x-y)O(2) oxide materials has not previously been reported.     

Tunable compositions and luminescent performances on members of the layered rare-earth hydroxides (Y1-xLnx)2(OH)5NO3·nH2O (Ln = Tb, Eu)

Members of the layered rare-earth hydroxides (LRHs) family with the generalized formula (Y(1-x)Ln(x))(2)(OH)(5)NO(3)·nH(2)O (Ln = Tb, Eu; 0% ≤x≤ 100%) (named as YTb-LRHs, YEu-LRHs) have been synthesized via a hydrothermal route. Crystal structures and elemental compositions have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results show that Ln(3+) species are successfully incorporated into the LRH host lattice to form layered hydroxide solid solutions. The YTb-LRHs and YEu-LRHs samples exhibit well-defined photoluminescence. The color of the luminescence can be tuned by changing the concentration of Ln(3+). Furthermore, the ternary YTbEu-LRH system was also synthesized, an example of the host layers containing variable types of the lanthanide cations. This provides the possibility to tune the chemical composition and the luminescent properties of the lanthanide species with the flexibility of intercalation hosts for potential applications in luminescent materials and field emission displays.     

(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO复合体系与La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3电输运行为比较

用不同实验方法制备了名义组分为(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO(LCMO/CuO)和La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3(LCMCO)两组样品,在宽的温度范围内研究了样品的电输运行为随Cu含量x的变化关系,发现这两组样品表现出不同的行为.对于LCMCO,随x的增加,金属-绝缘体转变温度T_p迅速降低,当x=5.5%,样品表现出绝缘体导电行为;而LCMO/CuO复合样品,当x≤6%时,随x增加,Tp逐渐下降,x≥6%时,T_p不再继续降低,所有样品几乎表现出相同的电输运行为.另外,这两组样品均表现出较好的低场磁电阻效应(LFMR),在0.3 T下样品的最大磁电阻分别达到了～76%和88%.基于样品结构以及制备过程的分析,我们认为LFMR效应的增强主要是因为颗粒边界上形成的Cu相关自旋无序层引起的.     

A1掺杂量对正极材料LiNi_(1/3)Co_(2/3-x)A1_xO_2结构和电化学性能的影响

以共沉淀法合成的前驱体Ni_(1/3)Co_(2/3-x)Al_x(OH)_2与低共熔锂盐0.38LiOH·H_2O-0.62LiNO_3制备了锂离子电池正极材料LiNi_(1/3)Co_(2/3-x)Al_xO_2(x=1/12,1/3,1/2,7/12).采用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)和电化学性能测试对其结构、形貌和电化学性质进行表征.结果表明,LiNi_(1/3)Co_(2/3-x)Al_xO_2在1/12≤x≤1/3范围内可以保持单一的六方层状a-NaFeO_2结构,当A1掺杂量(x)高于1/3时,会出现杂相.其中,LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Al_(1/3)O_2结晶程度最高,阳离子混排效应最小,并且颗粒小而均匀,振实密度可以达到2.88 g·cm~(-3),首次放电容量为151.5 mAh·g~(-1),循环50次后放电容量保持在91.4%,在1C和2C倍率下放电容量仍可达到133.7和120.9 mAh·g~(-1)     

Topochemical synthesis of co-fe layered double hydroxides at varied fe/co ratios: unique intercalation of triiodide and its profound effect

Co-Fe layered double hydroxides at different Fe/Co ratios were synthesized from brucite-like Co(2+)(1-x)Fe(2+)(x)(OH)(2) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/3) via oxidative intercalation reaction using an excess amount of iodine as the oxidizing agent. A new redoxable species: triiodide (I(3)(-)), promoted the formation of single-phase Co-Fe LDHs. The results point to a general principle that LDHs with a characteristic ratio of total trivalent and divalent cations (M(3+)/M(2+)) at 1/2 may be the most stable in the oxidative intercalation procedure. At low Fe content, e.g., starting from Co(2+)(1-x)Fe(2+)(x)(OH)(2) (x < 1/3), partial oxidation of Co(2+) to Co(3+) takes place to reach the M(3+)/M(2+) threshold of 1/2 in as-transformed Co(2+)(2/3)-(Co(3+)(1/3-x)-Fe(3+)(x)) LDHs. Also discovered was the cointercalation of triiodide and iodide into the interlayer gallery of as-transformed LDH phase, which profoundly impacted the relative intensity ratio of basal Bragg peaks as a consequence of the significant X-ray scattering power of triiodide. In combination with XRD simulation, the LDH structure model was constructed by considering both the host layer composition/charge and the arrangement of interlayer triiodide/iodide. The work provides a clear understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic factors associated with the oxidative intercalation reaction and is helpful in elucidating the formation of LDH structure in general.     

Detailed studies of a high-capacity electrode material for rechargeable batteries, Li2MnO3-LiCo(1/3)Ni(1/3)Mn(1/3)O2

Lithium-excess manganese layered oxides, which are commonly described by the chemical formula zLi(2)MnO(3)-(1-z)LiMeO(2) (Me = Co, Ni, Mn, etc.), are of great importance as positive electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries. In this Article, Li(x)Co(0.13)Ni(0.13)Mn(0.54)O(2-δ) samples are prepared from Li(1.2)Ni(0.13)Co(0.13)Mn(0.54)O(2) (or 0.5Li(2)MnO(3)-0.5LiCo(1/3)Ni(1/3)Mn(1/3)O(2)) by an electrochemical oxidation/reduction process in an electrochemical cell to study a reaction mechanism in detail before and after charging across a voltage plateau at 4.5 V vs Li/Li(+). Changes of the bulk and surface structures are examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). SXRD data show that simultaneous oxygen and lithium removal at the voltage plateau upon initial charge causes the structural rearrangement, including a cation migration process from metal to lithium layers, which is also supported by XAS. This is consistent with the mechanism proposed in the literature related to the Li-excess manganese layered oxides. Oxygen removal associated with the initial charge on the high voltage plateau causes oxygen molecule generation in the electrochemical cells. The oxygen molecules in the cell are electrochemically reduced in the subsequent discharge below 3.0 V, leading to the extra capacity. Surface analysis confirms the formation of the oxygen containing species, such as lithium carbonate, which accumulates on the electrode surface. The oxygen containing species are electrochemically decomposed upon second charge above 4.0 V. The results suggest that, in addition to the conventional transition metal redox reactions, at least some of the reversible capacity for the Li-excess manganese layered oxides originates from the electrochemical redox reaction of the oxygen molecules at the electrode surface.     

Local structural distortion of BaZr(x)Ti(1-x)O3 nanocrystals synthesized at room temperature

Single crystalline, sub-15 nm BaZr(x)Ti(1-x)O(3) (0 ≤x≤ 1) nanocrystals were synthesized at room temperature via the vapor diffusion sol-gel method. As-prepared nanocrystals exhibit noncentrosymmetric regions whose volume fraction increases significantly upon substitution of small amounts of Zr(4+) for Ti(4+) and reaches a maximum for substitution levels ranging from 10 to 20 mol%.     

Interplay between defect structure and catalytic activity in the Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) mixed-oxide system

The Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) solid-solution systems (0≤x≤10) were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results show the existence of paramagnetic vanadyl VO(2+) species, whose concentration becomes maximal for Mo(5)V(5)O(y·). A quantitative analysis of the [VO(2+)] concentration as a function of the Mo/V ratio allows it to characterize the prevailing defect chemistry in the Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) system. In this respect, the semi-conducting properties of Mo(10-x)V(x)O(y) are p-type in an interval of Mo(9)V(1)O(y)-Mo(5)V(5)O(y) and switch into n-type because of the conduction electrons in a composition range of Mo(5)V(5)O(y)-Mo(1)V(9)O(y). Highest catalytic activity is obtained when vanadium acts as an acceptor center and oxygen vacancies ν(··)(O) are formed for reasons of charge compensation. In addition to the surface, ν(··)(O) and VO(2+) centers in the bulk have to be considered too for heterogeneous catalysis.     

A New Family of Nonstoichiometric Layered Rare-Earth Tin Antimonides, RESn(x)()Sb(2) (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm): Crystal Structure of LaSn(0.75)Sb(2)

A new class of nonstoichiometric layered ternary rare-earth tin antimonides, RESn(x)()Sb(2) (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm), has been synthesized through reaction of the elements at 950 degrees C. In the lanthanum series LaSn(x)()Sb(2), tin can be incorporated from a maximum content of x approximately 0.7 or 0.8 to as low as x approximately 0.10. The structure of lanthanum tin diantimonide with the maximum tin content, LaSn(0.75)Sb(2), has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group -Cmcm with a = 4.2425(5) ?, b = 23.121(2) ?, c = 4.5053(6) ?, and Z = 4. The isostructural rare-earth analogues were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structure of LaSn(0.75)Sb(2) comprises layers of composition "LaSb(2)" in which La atoms are coordinated by Sb atoms in a square-antiprismatic geometry. Between these layers reside chains of Sn atoms distributed over three crystallographically independent sites, each partially occupied at about 20%. The structure of LaSn(0.75)Sb(2) can be regarded as resulting from the excision of RE-Sb and Sb-Sb bonds in the related structures of binary rare-earth diantimonides, RESb(2), and then intercalation of Sn atoms between layers.     

Pd2+/Pd0 redox cycling in hexagonal YMn(0.5)Fe(0.5)O3: implications for catalysis by PGM-substituted complex oxides

Complex oxides--containing at least two different cations on crystallographically distinct sites--have recently been shown to display redox cycling of platinum group metals (PGMs), such as Pd; for example, Pd-substituted complex oxides can reversibly extrude metallic Pd under reducing conditions and then reincorporate Pd(2+) ions into the lattice under oxidizing conditions. The title compounds, YMn(0.5)Fe(0.5-x)Pd(x)O(3-δ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.07) crystallizing in the noncentrosymmetric YMnO(3) structure, were prepared using a sol-gel process at 800 °C, and the structures were refined from high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data. Their redox cycling behavior was monitored using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and EXAFS studies. In contrast to the previously studied complex oxide host compounds, YMn(0.5)Fe(0.5-x)Pd(x)O(3-δ) is only modestly tolerant to cycling: repeated redox cycling leads to the formation of PdO, which, on the time-scale of the oxidation cycles, does not reincorporate in the complex oxide lattice. Both oxidized and reduced samples were tested for the oxidation of CO to CO(2) under CO-lean conditions. YMn(0.5)Fe(0.5-x)Pd(x)O(3-δ) performs essentially as well as previously studied YFe(1-x)Pd(x)O(3-δ). The CO oxidation light-off characteristics of the hexagonal hosts are very similar to finely dispersed PdO. Despite evidence that Pd is almost fully dispersed as divalent ions in the host lattice, which is presumably accompanied by the concurrent creation of oxygen vacancies (2 Pd(2+):1 V(O(2-))), the as-prepared hexagonal materials do not display any significant improvement in catalytic activity as a function of Pd substitution level. This suggests that the corner-connected trigonal bipyramids that characterize this structural family do not enable the transport of oxygen through the bulk of the lattice. The study casts light on factors in the solid-state chemistry of precious metal-substituted complex oxides that influence the efficacy of redox cycling of the precious metal, and catalytic performance.     

Neue Vertreter des Er6[Si11N20]O‐Strukturtyps Hochtemperatur‐Synthesen und Kristallstrukturen von Ln(6+x/3)[Si(11–y)AlyN(20+x–y)]O(1–x+y) mit Ln = Nd,Er, Yb,Dy und 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, 0 ≤ y ≤ 3

New Representatives of the Er₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]O Structure Type. High‐Temperature Synthesis and Single‐Crystal Structure Refinement of Ln_(6+x/3)[Si_(11–y)Al_yN_(20+x–y)]O_(1–x+y) with Ln = Nd, Er, Yb, Dy and 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, 0 ≤ y ≤ 3 According to the general formula Ln_(6+x/3)[Si_(11–y)Al_yN_(20+x–y)]O_(1–x+y) (0 ≤ x ≤ 3, 0 ≤ y ≤ 3) four nitridosilicates, namely Er₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]O, Yb_6.081[Si₁₁N_20.234]O_0.757, Dy_0.33Sm₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]N, and Nd₇[Si₈Al₃N₂₀]O were synthesized in a radiofrequency furnace at temperatures between 1300 and 1650 °C. The homeotypic crystal structures of all four compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The nitridosilicates are trigonal with the following lattice constants: Er₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]O: a = 978.8(4) pm, c = 1058.8(3) pm; Yb_6.081[Si₁₁N_20.243]O_0.757: a = 974.9(1) pm, c = 1055.7(2) pm; Dy_0.33Sm₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]N: a = 989.8(1) pm, c = 1078.7(1) pm; Nd₇[Si₈Al₃N₂₀]O: a = 1004.25(9) pm, c = 1095.03(12) pm. The crystal structures were solved and refined in the space group P31c with Z = 2. The compounds contain three‐dimensional networks built up by corner sharing SiN₄ and AlN₄ tetrahedra, respectively. The Ln³⁺ and the “isolated” O^2– ions are situated in the voids of the structures. According to Ln_(6+x/3)[Si_(11–y)Al_yN_(20+x–y)]O_(1–x+y) an extension of the Er₆[Si₁₁N₂₀]O structure type has been found.
