Abstract:Two new Zintl phases Ae(2)LiInGe(2) (Ae = Ca 1; Sr 2) were obtained from stoichiometric reactions of the pure elements in sealed Nb tubing at 1000-1050 degrees C. The isomorphous polar intermetallic phases crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, with cell constants of a = 7.2512(7), b = 4.4380(5), and c = 16.902(1) A for compound 1, and a = 7.5033(8), b = 4.6194(5), and c = 17.473(2) A for compound 2. The crystal structure can be derived from the vertex-sharing of InGe(4/2) tetrahedral units that form "corrugated" sheets normal to the crystallographic c-axis. Calcium and lithium atoms act as "spacers" that effectively separate the anionic InGe(2)](5-) layers. The layered anionic substructure is similar to those exhibited by layered metal oxides, sulfides, and silicates. The connectivity of the tetrahedral building unit, InGe(4/2)](5-), is analogous and isoelectronic to the silicate SiO(4/2)] unit.
