Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Ba6Lu4Zn10O22 mit [OBa6]-Oktaedern

On the Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ba₆Lu₄Zn₁₀O₂₂ with OBa₆] Octahedra Single crystals of Ba₆Lu₄Zn₁₀O₂₂ have been prepared by high temperature reactions and investigated by X-ray techniques. This compound is isotypic to Ba₃In₂Zn₅O₁₁ and the first member of the Rare Earth elements. Ba₆Lu₄Zn₁₀O₂₂ crystallizes with cubic symmetry, space group T-F4 3m, a = 13.452(1) Å and Z = 4. Zn²⁺ shows a tetrahedral, Lu³⁺ an octahedral and Ba²⁺ a three-fold capped trigonal prismatic coordination by O^2?. The ZnO₄ tetrahedra and LuO₆ octahedra are forming macro polyhedra of the type Zn₁₀O₂₀ and Lu₄O₁₆. A discussion is given for the Ba₆O₃₃ and Ba₆O₄₂ groups.
