Colorless single crystals of Ag7Zr6F31 have been obtainend by heating up a
mixture of AgF and ZrF4 in a closed goldtube (T = 450 degrees C, t similar
to 2 d). The compound crystallizes trigonal, space group R (3) over bar-C-3
i(2) (No.148) with a = 1400,9(3) pm, c = 979,0(2) pm, Z = 3. Also prepared
were the isotypic compounds Ag7Hf6F31 With a = 1393,8(2) pm, c = 978,7(2) p
m, 998,5(1) pm.
