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.

K2Sn2S5 and K2Sn2Se5 were prepared by reacting stoichiometric powdered mixtures of the binary compounds K2S or K2Se with Sn and the corresponding chalcogen at 1070 K, followed by slow cooling of the melt. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize with the Tl2Sn2S5 structure type, s.g. C 2/c, Z = 4 with a = 11.072(5) Å, b = 7.806(3)Å, c = 11.517(5)Å, β = 108.43(2)° for K2Sn2S5 and a = 11.613(5)Å, b = 8.189(3) Å, c = 11,897(6) Å, β = 108.28(2)° for K2Sn2Se5. The crystal structures were refined to conventional R-factors of 0.032 and 0.031, respectively. Sn-atoms are in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal chalcogen coordination. The average equatorial bond lengths are Sn -S: 2.427 Å and Sn -Se: 2.552 Å , the axial ones are Sn -S: 2.600 Å and Sn -Se: 2.774 Å.

The crystal structures of the binary compounds ZrAl3 and HfAl3 at 600°C belong to the structure type ZrAl3 (Pearson symbol tI16, space group I4/mmm, a = 4.00930(11), c = 17.2718(7) Å for ZrAl3 and a = 3.9849(3), c = 17.1443(15) Å for HfAl3). Substitution of Ge atoms for Al atoms in ZrAl3 and HfAl3 led to the formation of the ternary compounds ZrAl2.52(1)Ge0.48(1) and HfAl2.40(1)Ge0.60(1), respectively, where the latter is probably part of a solid solution extending from the high-temperature modification of HfAl3. The crystal structures belong to the tetragonal structure type ht-TiAl3 (tI8, I4/mmm, a = 3.92395(11), c = 9.0476(4) Å for ZrAl2.52Ge0.48 and a = 3.9021(2), c = 8.9549(8) Å for HfAl2.40Ge0.60). The structure types ZrAl3 and ht-TiAl3 are both members of the family of close-packed structures.

AbstractMolecular crystal structures of 81 polymorphs of binary compounds are investigated with the method of coordination sequences and with the uniformity criterion for atomic sublattices. It is shown that using these tools one can estimate semi-quantitatively the relative force of inter-molecular interactions and to find so-called structure-forming lattice,
