Hydro-flux synthesis and crystal structure of Tl3IO.


ABSTRACT: Single-crystals of thallium(I) iodide oxide Tl3IO were obtained as by-product in a hydro-flux synthesis at 473?K for 10?h. A potassium hydroxide hydro-flux with a water-base molar ratio of 1.6 and the starting materials TlNO3, RhI3 and Ba(NO3)2 was used, resulting in a few black needle-shaped crystals. X-ray diffraction on a single-crystal revealed the hexa-gonal space group P63/mmc (No. 194) with lattice parameters a = 7.1512?(3)?Å and c = 6.3639?(3)?Å. Tl3IO crystallizes as hexa-gonal anti-perovskite (anti-BaNiO3 type) and is thus structurally related to the alkali-metal halide/auride oxides M 3 XO (M = K, Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br, I, Au). The oxygen atoms center thallium octa-hedra. The [OTl6] octa-hedra share trans faces, forming a linear chain along [001]. Twelve thallium atoms surround each iodine atom in an [ITl12] anti-cubocta-hedron. Thallium and iodine atoms together form a hexa-gonal close-sphere packing, in which every fourth octa-hedral void is occupied by oxygen.
