A new compound, Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇, was synthesized from the PbF₂/B₂O₃ flux system, which is the first compound found in the PbF₂/Al₂O₃/B₂O₃ system. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Cmca (No. 64) with unit cell parameters a = 11.649(7) Å, b = 18.300(11) Å, c = 6.394(4) Å, Z = 4. The crystal structure of Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ contains the group [Pb₆BO₁₁F₁₀] as basal building unit, which connects with each other forming two‐dimensional _∞[Pb₆BO₁₁F₁₀] layers, whereas aluminum atoms are filled in the interlayers. The IR spectrum further confirms the presence of BO₃ groups. The calculated band structures and the density of states of Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ suggest that its indirect gap is 2.968 eV. The DSC analysis and X‐ray diffraction technique prove that Pb₆AlB₂O₇F₇ is a congruent‐melting compound.

The Pentagonal Column and the ReO3-Type Structure

The pentagonal column (PC), consisting of MX₇ bipyramids sharing their equatorial edges with five MX₆ octahedra, is a structural feature frequently occurring in association with frameworks of the ReO₃-type, where it enables accomodation of an anion deficiency. The present article discusses the geometry of the PC and its compatibility with the ReO₃-type structure, which naturally emerges from the finding that a PC may result from twinning of an ReO₃-type structure on the unit cell level. A new symbolism is presented which facilitates visualization of a large variety of crystal and defect structures of MX_3–x stoichiometry. This symbolism may also serve as a convenient aid in deriving models of possible new structures that may be of value in the interpretation of HREM images.

TlTaS₃ was prepared by applying a sequence of two melting processes with mixtures of Tl₂S, Ta, and S having different molar metal to sulphur ratios.

Characteristic features of the structure are chains of edge‐sharing [Ta(+5)S₄S_2/2]₂ double octahedra running along [010]. These columns are linked by Tl⁺ ions. The Tl⁺ ion is surrounded by eight S^2— anions to form a distorted bi‐capped trigonal prism. The Tl⁺ ions are shifted from the centre of the trigonal prism toward one of the rectangular faces. This is discussed in context with other isostructural compounds. TlTaS₃ is a semiconductor. The electronic structure is discussed on the base of band structure calculations performed within the framework of density functional theory.     

The Crystal Structure of Disodium Phosphonate,Na2HPO3

Anhydrous disodium phosphonate, Na₂HPO₃, was prepared by dehydration of its pentahydrate. The crystal structure of Na₂HPO₃ was solved from high resolution X‐ray powder diffraction data (P2₁/n; Z = 4; a = 9.6987(1), b = 6.9795(1), c = 5.0561(1) Å, β = 92.37(1)°; V = 341.97(1) ų).

These Na(1)‐ and Na(2)‐layers are interlinked via common edges, forming in a 3D‐framework. The resulting topology is providing oxygen arrangements that please the coordinative requirement of phosphorus(III).

Zur Kenntnis der inversen Perowskite M3TO (M = Ca,Sr, Yb; T = Si,Ge, Sn,Pb)

On the Inverse Perovskites M₃TO (M = Ca, Sr, Yb; T = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) Ca₃SiO and seven further inverse perovskites M₃TO (M = Ca, Sr, Yb; T = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) were prepared in iron crucibles under argon by the reactions 6 M + TO₂ + T = 2 M₃TO, and 3 M+ TO = M₃TO for Yb₃PbO, respectively, at temperatures between 1123 to 1173 K. The crystal structures of all compounds were solved and refined using X—ray powder diffraction methods. Ca₃SiO, Ca₃GeO, Sr₃SiO, Sr₃GeO, Yb₃SiO and Yb₃GeO are orthorhombic perovskites (anti—GdFeO₃—type, space group Pbnm, No. 62, Z = 4). They show slightly distorted corner—sharing OM₆ octahedra that are tilted with respect to their positions in the ideal perovskite structure. The effective radii of the T^4— vary significantly with M²⁺. Thus, these perovskites can no longer be discussed in terms of the hard—sphere model, and Goldschmidt's tolerance factor does not apply. The ideal cubic representatives Yb₃SnO and Yb₃PbO were refined in space group Pm3¯m (anti—SrTiO₃ type, Z = 1).

The structure is based upon double [O₂Pb₃]²⁺ chains of edge‐sharing [OPb₄]⁶⁺ tetrahedra. These [O₂Pb₃]²⁺ chains run parallel to [001], and their planes are parallel to (010). The pyramidal (SeO₃)^2— anions are located between the chains; their triangular oxygen atom bases lie parallel to (001) and all (SeO₃)^2— groups are pointing in the same direction. A short compilation of [O₂M₃] chains of oxocentred M₄ tetrahedra in minerals and inorganic compounds is provided.     

A One‐dimensional Lead(II) Coordination Polymer with Bridging Saccharinate and 2‐Aminomethylpyridine Ligands: Synthesis,IR Spectra,and Crystal Structure of [Pb(ampy)(μ‐sac)2]n

A complex with eight‐coordinate lead(II ) atom and saccharinate (sac) and 2‐aminomethylpyridine ligands was characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X‐ray crystallography. The lead(II ) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/c. The single crystal X‐ray analysis shows that the complex is a coordination polymer, [Pb(ampy)(μ‐sac)₂]_n, in which the lead(II ) ions have a highly distorted bicapped trigonal antiprism coordination. Lead(II ) ions are bridged by carboxyl groups of sac forming one‐dimensional linear chains, running parallel to the a axis. The intrachain Pb···Pb distances are 4.4490(3) and 4.4679(3)Å. The individual chains are connected by N—H···O_sulfonyl and C_ampy—H···O_sulfonyl type hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional network. The sac ligand acts as bidentate and bridging ligand, while ampy behaves as an N, N′ donor. The IR spectra of the lead(II ) complex are discussed in detail.     

Phase formation, structural and microstructural characterization of novel oxynitride-perovskites synthesized by thermal ammonolysis of (Ca,Ba)MoO4 and (Ca,Ba)MoO3

Reactions of AMoO₄ and AMoO₃ (A=Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺) with ammonia were investigated at 873 K<T<1123 K with the particular intention to synthesize novel oxynitride-perovskites of the general composition AMo(O,N)₃ and to study their crystal structure. CaMo(O,N)₃ and BaMo(O,N)₃ were prepared by thermal ammonolysis of the corresponding CaMoO₃ and BaMoO₃ precursors at T=898 and 998 K, respectively. The structural parameters of the oxynitrides were obtained from Rietveld refinements of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. CaMo(O,N)₃ crystallizes in the GdFeO₃ distorted perovskite structure with orthorhombic space group Pbnm and a=5.5029(1) Å, b=5.5546(1) Å, c=7.8248(1) Å as determined by X-ray powder diffraction. Its O/N content refined from the neutron diffraction data corresponds to the composition CaMoO_1.7(1)N_1.3(1). BaMo(O,N)₃ crystallizes in the cubic perovskite structure with space group Pm3¯m and a=4.0657(1) Å as determined by X-ray powder diffraction. Transmission electron microscopy reveals a complex microstructure for both CaMoO₃ and CaMoO_1.7(1)N_1.3(1) represented by twin domains of different orientation.     

Syntheses and Characterization of Mixed‐Anions Lead(II) Complexes, [Pb(phen)2(CH3COO)]X (X=NCS—, NO3— and ClO4—), Crystal Structure of [Pb(phen)2(CH3COO)](ClO4)

The 1:2 adduct lead(II) complexes with 1, 10‐phenanthroline (phen) containing three different anions, [Pb(phen)₂(CH₃COO)X] (X=NCS^—, NO₃^— and ClO₄^—), have been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR‐, ¹H‐ and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The structure of [Pb(phen)₂(CH₃COO)(ClO₄)] was determined by single crystal X‐ray analysis. The Pb atom of the monomeric complex is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two 1, 10‐phenanthroline ligands and two oxygen atoms of the acetate ligand to form an irregular octahedron. The arrangement of the 1, 10‐phenanthroline and acetate ligands, exhibits a coordination gap around the Pb^II ion, possibly occupied by a stereochemical electron active lone pair on lead(II), which results in a hemidirected lead compound. The π‐π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings may help to increase the coordination ‘gap’ around the Pb^II ion.

Two modifications of the oxotellurate(VI) PbCuTeO₅ were isolated as single crystals from product mixtures obtained from solid state reactions, whereas single crystals of the oxotellurates(IV) PbCuTe₂O₆ and [Pb₂Cu₂(Te₄O₁₁)](NO₃)₂ were grown under hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structures of all compounds comprise of characteristic coordination polyhedra, viz. nearly square [CuO₄] plaquettes for divalent copper, octahedral [TeO₆] units for hexavalent tellurium, trigonal‐pyramidal [TeO₃] and bisphenoidal [TeO₄] groups for tetravalent tellurium, and distorted [PbO_x] polyhedra for divalent lead. PbCuTeO₅ is dimorphic and crystallizes in a monoclinic and a triclinic modification, related by a translationengleiche group‐subgroup relation of index 2. PbCuTe₂O₆ represents the ideal composition of the rare mineral choloalite.

Preparative exploration of the system Ag—Mn—O under an elevated oxygen pressure yielded so far unknown Ag₄Mn₃O₈. Single crystal X‐ray investigations have revealed a trigonal crystal system, space group P3₁21 with lattice parameters a = 12.5919(1) and c = 15.4978(1)Å. Due to fourfold twinning a large cubic unit cell with a ≈ 26Å is simulated. The structure, which was refined as a fourfold twin, is composed of MnO₆ octahedra which are connected via common edges to a complex framework. The topology of this framework is closely related to the archetype cubic {10, 3} net. In the cavities of the framework the Ag⁺ ions are incorporated.
