Abstract: | Ag2Pb8O7Cl4, a New Member of Lead(II) Oxyhalides with Silver Ag2Pb8O7Cl4 is one among other products of the thermal decomposition of AgPb4O4Cl. Ag2Pb8O7Cl4 can be prepared directly by heating the binary components within a temperature range from 590°C to 620°C. The crystal structure was solved by single crystal X-ray methods. The compound crystallizes monoclinic with a = 12.411(4) Å, b = 17.99(3) Å, c = 14.785(4) Å, β = 147.01(2)°, Z = 4 with the space group P21/c. Ag2Pb8O7Cl4 shows remarkable structural features, e.g. silver tetrahedrally surrounded by chlorine. |
