Abstract: | The First Oxomanganate(II): Na14Mn2O9 = Na14MnO4]2O Na14Mn2O9 crystallizes trigonal, space group P3 , a = b = 6.669, c = 9.353 Å. The crystal structure han been refined by diffractometer data (1124 undependent reflections) to R = 0.050. Mn2+ is surrounded tetrahedrally (Mn? O = 2.09 Å). Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, and the Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, are calculated. Na14Mn2O9 represents the most kation-rich ternary oxid of the alkali metals. |
