Na5InTe4 und Na5In2Te6 — Erste Beispiele für Neso-sowie Ditelluro-verbrückte Inotelluroindate/Na5InTe4 and Na5In2Te6 — First Examples of Neso-and Ditelluro-Bridged Inotelluroindates

Abstract

Abstract Single crystals of the ternary com pounds Na5InTe4 and Na5In2Te6 have been grown from the melt und have been investigated by X-ray single crystal techniques. Na5InTe4: orthorhombic, space group Pbcn; Z = 8; a = 742.7(4) pm, b = 2015.4(8) pm, c = 1773.3(6) pm; Na5In:Te6: orthorhombic, space group Cmc21; Z = 8; a = 902.1(4) pm, b = 1536.1(5) pm , c = 2356.5(6) pm. The crystal structure of Na5InTe4 contains isolated InTe4 tetrahedra (mean bond length: 278.8 pm). In the crystal structure of Na5In2Te6 InTe4 tetrahedra are connected through common vertices to "Zweiereinfach"-chains. Two neighbouring chains each are joined further to ribbons through Te -Te bridges between every second InTe4 tetrahedron.
