Synthese und Strukturanalyse von Na3SbSe3·3Sb2O3·0,5Sb(OH)3

Investigations in the system Sb-Se-NaOH-H₂O, hydrothermal conditions, yielded crystals of the compound Na₃SbSe₃·3Sb₂O₃·0,5Sb(OH)₃. The structure of this compound (a=14.40 Å,c=5.568 Å; space group P 6₃-C ₆ ⁶ ;Z=2) was determined from 985 independent X-ray intensities — collected on an automaticWeissenberg type diffractometer — by thePatterson method and refined by the least squares method toR=8.3% (with -weighting 5.9%). The structure consists of SbO₃ pyramids which are connected via common oxygen corners to tubes parallel 001]. These tubes and SbSe₃ pyramids are combined by Na atoms to a framework. The Sb(OH)₃ groups are statistically located within the channels of the tubes.
