Abstract
Single crystals of the new lead zinc silicon tellurium oxide PbZn4SiTeO10 have been prepared by solid state reaction in air. The compound is colourless and crystallizes in orthorhombic symmetry, space group D162h Pnma, with the cell parameters: a = 6.542 (5), b = 15.624(4), c = 8.280(4) Å, Z = 4. The structure has been determined from a single crystal X-ray study and refined to the conventional values R = 0.032 and wR(F2) = 0.050. Zn2+ and Si4+ show tetrahedral and Te6+ octahedral coordination by O2-.Thecrystal structurels dominated by a 3∞ [Zn4O10]12- framework with isolated TeO66+ and SiO44+ polyhedra. Pb2+ ions are incorporated in the network. The centres of negative charge of the lone pairs of Pb2+ are estimated by calculations of the Coulomb term of the lattice energy.
