Abstract
[Ba3Cl2] [Sn3O4(OH)(8)] (1), is formed through hydrothermal synthesis in th e BaCl2/SnCl4 system. 1 is orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 7.836(2), b = 18.350(4), c = 10.258(2) Angstrom, V = 1475 Angstrom(3) and composed of alternating l ayers of covalent stannate and ionic barium chloride components. The 'coval ent' layers consist of hydroxy stannate trimers [Sn3O4(OH)(8)], connected t hrough mu(3)-O to other units forming puckered 2-D sheets. These sheets are then intercalated by the barium and chloride ions, which have a complex se t of ionic contacts. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
