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).

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.

Eu4Bi3: Crystal Structure,Magnetic and Electronic Properties

The Eu? Bi system contains the phases Eu₅Bi₃, Eu₄Bi₃ and Eu₁₁Bi₁₀. The structure types of these phases have been determined by powder X-ray diffraction. Crystals of Eu₄Bi₃ (cubic, space group I4 3d; a = 9.920 Å, Z = 4, T = 130 K, R1/wR2 = 4.86/10.84%) were obtained in low yield by reaction of Eu, Mn, and Bi in the ratio 14:1:11 in a closed niobium tube (heating rate 30°C/h; reaction at 1050°C for 300 h, cooling rate 100°C/h). The crystal structure consists of distorted octahedra made up of six Bi coordinated to a central Eu atom. Eu is also coordinated to a three other Eu atoms and forms a three-dimensional network composed of interconnected rings. The Bi atoms are coordinated to eight Eu atoms. High yields of Eu₄Bi₃ can be prepared by reacting stoichiometric amount of the elements in a sealed tantalum tube at 1100°C for 24 h. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility is consistent with antiferromagnetic behavior with an ordering temperature of 18 K. The data could be fit with the Curie-Weiss law and a moment of 7.38 μ_B/Eu is obtained, consistent with all Eu atoms being Eu¹¹. Temperature dependent resistivity indicates that Eu₄Bi₃ is a metal with a room temperature resistance of 1.3 Ωcm.     

Beiträge zum thermischen Verhalten und zur Kristallchemie von wasserfreien Phosphaten. XV. Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und Eigenschaften von Kupfer(II)-ultraphosphat CuP4O11 (≙ Cu2P8O22)

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of Copper(II) Ultraphosphate CuP₄O₁₁ CuP₄O₁₁ was synthesised from Cu₂P₄O₁₂ and P₄O₁₀ (500°C, sealed silica ampoules) using iodine and a few mg of CuP₂ or phosphorus as mineraliser. Chemical transport reactions in a temperature gradient 600 → 500°C led to the formation of well developed, colourless, transparent crystals with edge-lengths up to 5 mm (deposition rate m ≈? 2 mg/h). The crystal structure of copper(II) ultraphosphate (C1 ; Z = 8; a = 13.084(3) Å, b = 13.024(2) Å, c = 10.533(2) Å, α = 89.28(2)°, β = 118.42(2)°, γ = 90.30(2)°) has been determined and refined from X-ray data obtained from a pseudo-merohedrally twinned crystal (twin element two-fold rotation axis // b; volume ratio: 17/3; 3063 independent reflections with 2θ ? 53.4°; 291 variables; conventional residual (based on F) R1 = 0.038, wR2 = 0.101 (based on F²), GooF = 1.10). The crystal structure of CuP₄O₁₁ is built from four crystallographically independent ten-membered polyphosphate rings of very similar conformation. These rings are linked to form two-dimensional nets parallel (?2 0 1) planes. There is a close topological relationship between these nets and those formed in polyphosphides CdP₄ and CuP₂. Copper on two crystallographic sites (Cu₂P₈O₂₂) is coordinated by oxygen thus forming elongated [CuO₆] octahedra (d_eq(Cu? O) ≈? 1.96 Å; d_ax(Cu? O) ≈? 2.34 Å). The crystal g-tensor of CuP₄O₁₁ has been determined from powder samples to g₁ = 2.09, g₂ = 2.24, g₃ = 2.36. These values are in good agreement with molecular g-values from calculations within the framework of the angular overlap model on the two independent CuO₆ octahedra (Cu²⁺(1): g_x = 2.09, g_y = 2.10, g_z = 2.52; Cu²⁺(2): g_x = 2.08, g_y = 2.11, g_z = 2.52) assuming exchange coupling. The observed broad absorption band (7000 cm^?1 to 13000 cm^?1) from powder reflectance measurements (4000–28000 cm^?1) and the bulk magnetic susceptibility of μ_exp = 1.99 μ_B is also reproduced nicely by this calculations.

Crystal Structure of BaNb6.3(1)Ti3.6(1)O16 containing Nb6O12, fused Ti3O13 Clusters and Ti3O10 Units

A new phase, BaNb_6.3(1)Ti_3.6(1)O₁₆, has been synthesised. Electron diffraction studies indicate an hexagonal substructure with unit cell parameters a ≈ 8.9 Å and c ≈ 9.5 Å. In some of the ED patterns superstructure reflections are present, indicating a supercell with a = √3 · a_sub and c = c_sub. However, X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction studies of a crystallite yielding reflections corresponding to the supercell revealed it to be monoclinic, with the unit cell parameters a = 26.811(2) Å, b = 15.4798(2) Å, c = 9.414(2) Å, β = γ = 90° and α = 90.0(3)°. The average crystal structure was refined, using the subcell with a = 8.937(2) Å, b = 15.479(2) Å, c = 9.414(2) Å, β = γ = 90° and α = 90.0(3)°, space group Cm11, and Z = 4, to R_I = 3.24% and R_wI = 3.44%. The structure can be described as an hexagonal close packing layers of Nb₆ octahedra, Ba, and O atoms (A1, A2) and layers of O atoms (B1, B2), appearing in the packing sequence: A1B1A2B2. The Nb₆ octahedra are found in isolated Nb₆O₁₂O₆ clusters, and the Ti atoms in Ti₃O₁₃ and Ti₃O₁₀ units in octahedral and tetrahedral voids formed by O atoms, respectively. The Ti positions were found to be only partly occupied. Microanalysis indicates that some Nb atoms are located in the Ti₃ triangles. A model is presented that interprets these not fully occupied Ti₃ triangles as a result of a superimposing of three different structures. Two of these consist of two fused Ti₃O₁₃ units, forming an Ti₆O₁₉ unit, and a Ti₃O₁₀ unit, while the third consists of alternating Ti₃O₁₃ units.

Rb₆Mn₂O₆ was prepared via the azide/nitrate route. Stoichiometric mixtures of the precursors (Mn₃O₄, RbN₃ and RbNO₃) were heated in a special regime up to 500 °C and annealed at this temperature for 75 h in silver crucibles.
