Abstract Three new rubidium polychromates, Rb2[(UO2)(Cr2O7)(NO3)2] (1), γ-Rb2Cr3O10 (2) and δ-Rb2Cr3O10 (3) were prepared by combination of hydrothermal treatment at 220 °C and evaporation of aqueous solutions under ambient conditions. Compound 1 is monoclinic, P 2 1 / c $P{2}_{1}/c$ , a = 13.6542(19), b = 19.698(3), c = 11.6984(17) Å, β = 114.326(2)°, V = 2867.0(7) Å3, R 1 = 0.040; 2 is hexagonal, P 6 3 / m $P{6}_{3}/m$ , a = 11.991(2), c = 12.828(3) Å, γ = 120°, V = 1597.3(5) Å3, R 1 = 0.031; 3 is monoclinic, P 2 1 / n $P{2}_{1}/n$ , a = 7.446(3), b = 18.194(6), c = 7.848(3) Å, β = 99.953(9)°, V = 1047.3(7) Å3, R 1 = 0.037. In the crystal structure of 1, UO8 bipyramids and NO3 groups share edges to form [(UO2)(NO3)2] species which share common corners with dichromate Cr2O7 groups producing novel type of uranyl dichromate chains [(UO2)(Cr2O7)(NO3)2]2−. In the structures of new Rb2Cr3O10 polymorphs, CrO4 tetrahedra share vertices to form Cr3O10 2− species. The trichromate groups are aligned along the 63 screw axis forming channels running in the ab plane in the structure of 2. The Rb cations reside between the channels and in their centers completing the structure. The trichromate anions are linked by the Rb+ cations into a 3D framework in the structure of 3. Effect of solution acidity on the crystallization of polychromates in uranyl-bearing systems is discussed.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.

Charge Balancing

Alkali metal thallides go back to the investigative works of Eduard Zintl about base metals in negative oxidation states. In 1932, he described the crystal structure of NaTl as the first representative for this class of compounds. Since then, a bunch of versatile crystal structures has been reported for thallium as electronegative element in intermetallic solid state compounds. For combinations of thallium with alkali metals as electropositive counterparts, a broad range of different unique structure types has been observed. Interestingly, various thallium substructures at the same or very similar valence electron concentration (VEC) are obtained. This in return emphasizes that the role of the alkali metals on structure formation goes far beyond ancillary filling atoms, which are present only due to charge balancing reasons. In this review, the alkali metals are in focus and the local surroundings of the latter are discussed in terms of their crystallographic sites in the corresponding crystal structures.

Insight Into

In determining structures we use physical propositions in order to find a likely crystal structure. The same propositions are of value for the ordering of known structures into a natural system. The atomic radii form such a proposition. Another proposition is contained in the spatial correlation of electrons in the electron gas. The question is, whether this correlation is of influence on the crystal structure or not. To gain a first insight into this question, it is useful to know whether the crystal structures are physically compatible with a certain spatial correlation of electrons. Some qualitative rules are given to assess the physical possibility of a spatial correlation of electrons in a crystal structure. For the crystal structures of some chemical elements proposals for electron correlation are given. These proposals account for rationalities existing between some lattice constants, e. g. the axial ratios of the hexagonal close packed structures of Co and Zn. The proposals are also applicable to some binary compounds. With regard to these commensurabilities, it seems possible that the examination of the spatial correlation of electrons may lead to a better understanding of the crystal-chemical empiry.

The Eu

We have investigated the Eu3+ ion luminescence spectra from different host crystals of the lanthanide sesquioxides exhibiting either the A, B, or C form. The Eu3+ ion luminescence spectra from B-type Eu2O3 and from Eu3+-doped A-type La2O3 and C-type Lu2O3 were obtained at room temperature. It is suggested that the luminescence from f-f transitions in the Eu3+ ion can be used to determine the crystal structure, because the different Eu3+ ion site symmetries in the different crystal structures give rise to different characteristic spectral splitting patterns.
