Abstract: | A New Oxozincate: Li6ZnO4] Colourless single crystals of Li6ZnO4] are formed by reaction of Li2O and ZnO (Li2O:ZnO = 3.3:1, 700°C 50 d), Space group P42/nmc, Z = 2, a = 652.76 pm, c = 465.09 pm R = 2.6%, Rw = 2.1%, 173 symmetry independend I0(hkl), MoK ]. The crystal structure has been determined. |
