The Relationship

Nb0.89Fe0.93Te2 and Ta0.77Fe0.90Te2 were prepared by chemical transport reactions. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined using X-ray single crystal methods. The structures of the layer compounds Nb0.89Fe0.93Te2 (Pmna, Z = 2, a = 7.951(1) Å, b = 7.241(1) A, c = 6.233(1) Å) and Ta0.77Fe0.90Te2 (Pmna, Z = 2, a = 7.890(2) Å, b = 7.252(2) Å, c = 6.192(1) Å) are based on a hexagonal close packing of Te atoms. Approximately one-half of the octahedral holes in this packing are occupied by Nb (Ta) atoms, about one-quarter of the tetrahedral holes are occupied by Fe atoms. The relationship to the NiAs structure type is discussed.

The ReO3-type structure NbO2F, niobium dioxyfluoride, has been studied at high pressures using diamond anvil cells and synchrotron X-ray radiation. High-pressure powder diffraction measurements have been performed up to 40.1 GPa. A phase transition from the cubic (Pm3¯m) ambient pressure structure to a rhombohedral (R3¯c) structure at 0.47 GPa has been observed. Rietveld refinements at 1.38, 1.96, 3.20, 6.23, 9.00 and 10.5 GPa showed that the transition involves an a − a − a − tilting of the cation–anion coordination octahedra and a change of the anion–anion arrangement to approach hexagonal close packing. Compression and distortion of the Nb(O/F)6 octahedra is also revealed by the Rietveld refinements. At 17–18 GPa, the diffraction pattern disappears and the structure becomes X-ray amorphous.

The title compounds were synthesized from the elements and characterized via single crystal x-ray studies and Raman spectroscopy. In the Zintl phases A3As7 (A = K, Rb, Cs) the As atoms form nortricyclene-analogous anions As37 with As-As distances ranging from 230 to 254 pm. The three compounds crystallizewithdifferent newstructure types containing different packings of theAs7 anions:K3As7 (orthorhombic, Pbca; a=1291.9(8), b = 2544.1(9), c=1537.7(16) pm) shows a double hexagonal close packing (ABAC stacking of planes of hexagonal close packed anions), Rb3 As7 (monoclinic, P21/c, a = 757.3(5), b = 1310.2(8), c = 2692.7(18) pm , β= 91.972(12)°) hows a hexagonal close packing (AB) and the Cs compound (orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 1022.8(5), b = 1317.6(7), c = 2195.2(11) pm) a cubic close packing (ABC) (also present in theHT-forms of the three compounds) respectively. The alkaline metalmonoarsenides AAs (A = K, Rb) crystallize with the NaP structure type (A = K/Rb: orthorhombic, P212121; a = 661.7(5) / 658.1(8), b = 688.8(6) / 691.6(8), c = 1197.3(10) / 1204.7(10) pm, Z = 8) with approximate fourfold screw axes 41 of As$ chains, whereas the crystal structure of CsAs (hexagonal, P¯62m, a = 1219.7(3), c = 1046.3(2) pm, Z = 18) contains three crystallographically independent three membered rings As33 with As-As distances of 243.0 to 247.5 pm

Sc(acO)3 was obtained from Sc2O3 and (CH3CO)2O or from Sc2(CO3)3 and acetic acid. Recrystallization in water yields hexagonal columns of anhydrous Sc(acO)3. It crystallizes in the space group P 63/mcm with the lattice constants a = 791.1(3) pm, c = 886.6(7) pm and z = 2. Sc(acO)3 exhibits a polymeric structure with a linear chain of metal atoms which are connected in each case by three bridging acetato groups. For the Sc atoms results a sixfold coordination in the form of a compressed octahedron with the symmetry D3d and with distances Sc-O = 208.4 pm. The columns of polymeric Sc(acO)3 are arranged like in an ideal hexagonal close packing of cylindrical rods.

Unusual Formation

Due to their high technological and geological relevance, silicates are one of the most studied classes of inorganic compounds. Under ambient conditions, the silicon in silicates is almost exclusively coordinated by four oxygen atoms, while high-pressure treatment normally results in an increase in the coordination from four- to sixfold. Reported here is a high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of danburite, CaB2Si2O8, the first compound showing a step-wise transition of Si coordination from tetrahedral to octahedral through a trigonal bipyramid. Along the compression, the Si2O7groups of danburite first transform into chains of vertice-sharing SiO5trigonal bipyramids (danburite-II) and later into chains of edge-sharing SiO6octahedra (danburite-III). It is suggested that the unusual formation of an SiO5configuration is a consequence of filling up the pentacoordinated voids in the distorted hexagonal close packing of danburite-II.

Abstract The title compound has been synthesized by reaction of MeSnBr3 and NaHSe in aqueous solution. The X-ray structure determination showed adamantane-like molecules (Sn-Se 253(1), Sn-C 215(1) pm) arranged in a quasi hexagonal-close packing. The atomic coordinates were used for an analysis of the vibrational spectra, yielding information on the distribution of the potential energy for the normal modes in terms of internal co-ordinates and a set of force constants. The valence force constants f(Sn-Se) 154(6), f(Sn-C) 216(2) N/m) are compared with those in related monocyclic molecules.

Diffraction Patterns

The intermetallic compound Cu3Sn has previously been described as a long-period antiphase boundary superstructure of the Cu3Ti structure type. While the compound itself has been reported as a tenfold and an eightfold superstructure, ternary doped alloys show shorter repetitions. Interestingly, the diffraction patterns of these compounds show non-crystallographic absences that cannot be explained using the superstructure models. Since the compound exhibits phase broadening, these models are not satisfactory because the paucity of observed data does not allow for a refinement of the composition. Here, an alternative, superspace model in the orthorhombic space groupXmcm(0β0)000 is proposed, with the centering vectors (0,0,0,0) and (½,0,0,½). The presence of the non-crystallographic absences is explained as a result of a dominating occupational modulation that is accompanied by a weaker displacive modulation. In consistency with the EDXS results, the composition has been refined to Cu3 + xSn from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It is further demonstrated that by varying the length and the direction of the modulation wavevector in the superspace model, the ternary Cu3Sn compounds and other colored hexagonal close packing (h.c.p.) structures can be produced.
