S. Frenzen et H. Mullerbuschbaum, A SILVER-CONTAINING PHASE OF AN OXORUTHEN ATE - AG0.4NA2.3CA4.3RUO8, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(4), 1996, pp. 485-488
Single crystals of Ag0.4Na2.3Ca4.3RuO8 have been prepared by heating N
a2O2, CaO and ruthenium in closed silver tubes. Silver took part in th
e reaction. The crystal structure was investigated by X-ray techniques
. Ag0.4Na2.3Ca4.3RuO8 crystallizes with orthorhombic sym metry, space
group D-2h(19)-Cmmm; a = 9.255(1), b = 6.683(1), c = 6.696(3) Angstrom
, Z = 2. It shows relations to the sodium chloride structure. A statis
tical distribution of Ag+ and Na+ can be separated in micro space by s
plitting one oxygen position to give a dumb-bell like O-Ag-O and an oc
tahedral NaO6 coordination.
