Abstract: | Oxidation of Intermetallic Phases: Na5InO4 from NaIn and Na2O2 By oxidation of NaIn with Na2O2 [sealed Ag-cylinder 430°C, 1 d] Na5InO4 is formed as light yellow, coarse single crystals. The lattice constants of the orthorhombic cell are: According single crystal data [Pbca; four-circle diffractometer PW 1100, 1 748 out of 1 769 I0(hkl); R = 6.3% and Rw = 4.5%] Na5InO4 is isotypic with α-Li5GaO4. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energie, MAPLE, the Mean Fictiv Ionic Radii, MEFIR, and the Effectiv Coordination Numbers, ECoN, are calculated. |
