Abstract: | On the Oxidation of Intermetallic Phases: The Oxoplumbates(II) K6[Pb2O5] [1] and K4[PbO3] [2] Very pale yellow crystals of K6[Pb2O5] were obtained by heating a wellground mixture of LiPb und K2O2 (K2O2: LiPb = 2.5:1) in Ag-tubes (550°C; 40 d). The crystal structure, triclinic, space group P1 , a = 1 326.7(6); b = 758.8(4); c = 637.0(3) pm; α = 92.17(3)°; β = 94.41(3)°; γ = 112.85(4)°; Z = 2 was determined (four-circle diffractometer data, Mo? K, 3 270 Io(hkl), R = 8.0%, Rw = 3.5%, parameters see text). The pale yellow crystals of K4[PbO3] were received by heating KPb and K2O2 (K2O2: KPb = 3.3:2) in Ni-tubes (450°C; 17 d). The crystal structure (orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 658.2(1); b = 1 131.8(4); c = 1 872.2(6) pm; Z = 8) was refined (four-circle diffractometer data, Mo? K, 2 003 Io(hkl), R = 4.9%, Rw = 2.8%). The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy (MAPLE), Effective Coordination Numbers (ECoN), the Mean Fictive Ionic Radii (MEFIR) and the Charge Distribution (CHARDI) are being calculated for both oxides. |
