Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Except for the lighter noble gases, oxygen is able to react with nearly all elements under formation of binary oxides. In case additional elements participate in the oxidation reaction, either multinary oxides or oxido compounds can be formed. The latter are characterized by anionic groups AxOyz with a characteristic polyhedral shape and are known for the majority of chemical elements A. Just to name a few, borates [BO33−], carbonates [CO32−], nitrites [NO2] and nitrates [NO3], silicates [SiO44−], phosphates [PO43−], chromates [CrO42−], or tellurites [TeO32−] and tellurates [TeO66−] are typical representatives of oxido compounds. Various possible oxidation states of A and the ability to form hydrated and/or condensed anions considerably widens this ubiquitous class of compounds. Oxido compounds not only represent the clear majority of minerals and rocks in the earth’s crust but are likewise of paramount interest in chemical and physical sciences and are present in technology with multitudinous applications.

In this Special Issue, we invite investigators working in a wide range of disciplines to submit articles or communications reporting the synthesis, structural characterisation, and properties of new inorganic oxido compounds. Some topics that may be covered by these contributions are listed below as keywords. However, the keywords are considered only as a guideline — this Special Issue is open for a much greater number of topics or sub-topics and is intended to show the broadness and importance of the research area with respect to inorganic oxido compounds.

The order of OH groups in the crystal structure of SbC2O4OH, a potential precursor in the synthesis of ternary oxides, was debated. Neutron diffraction on the deuteride SbC2O4OD revealed disordered OD groups with half occupation for deuterium atoms on either side of a mirror plane (SbC2O4OD at T = 298(1) K: Pnma, a = 582.07(3) pm, b = 1128.73(5) pm, c = 631.26(4) pm). O–H stretching frequencies are shifted by a factor of 1.35 from 3390 cm−1 in the hydride to 2513 cm−1 in the deuteride as seen in infrared spectra. SbC2O4OH suffers radiation damage in a synchrotron beam, which leaves a dark amorphous residue. Thermal decomposition at 564 K yields antimony oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon oxide, and water in an endothermic reaction. When using SbC2O4OH as a precursor in reactions, however, ternary oxides are only formed at much higher temperatures. Full article

Borosulfates are a rapidly expanding class of silicate analogue materials, where the structural diversity is expected to be at least as large as known for silicates. However, borosulfates with cross-linking of the anionic network into two or even three dimensions are still very rare. Herein, we present two new representatives with phyllosilicate analogue topology. Through solvothermal reactions of ZnO and MnCl2∙4H2O with boric acid in oleum (65% SO3), we obtained single-crystals of Mn[B2(SO4)4] (monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 2, a = 8.0435(4), b = 7.9174(4), c = 9.3082(4) Å, β = 110.94(1)°, V = 553.63(5) Å3) and Zn[B2(SO4)4] (monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 2, a = 7.8338(4), b = 8.0967(4), c = 9.0399(4) Å, β = 111.26(1)°, V = 534.36(5) Å3). The crystal structures reveal layer-like anionic networks with alternating vierer- and zwölfer-rings formed exclusively by corner-linked (SO4)- and (BO4)-tetrahedra. Full article

A high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 7.5 GPa and 1673 K led to the formation of the new compound β-Y2B4O9. In contrast to the already known polymorph α-Y2B4O9, which crystallizes in the space group C2/c, the reported structure could be solved via single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ (no. 2) and is isotypic to the already known lanthanide borates β-Dy2B4O9 and β-Gd2B4O9. Furthermore, the photoluminescence of an europium doped sample of β-Y2B4O9:Eu3+ (8%) was investigated. Full article

Divalent metal oxidoarsenates(V) with compositions M(H2AsO4)2(H3AsO4)2 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni), M(HAsO4)(H3AsO4)(H2O)0.5 (M = Mn, Cd) and Zn(HAsO4)(H3AsO4) were obtained from solutions containing an excess of arsenic acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed isotypism of the M(H2AsO4)2(H3AsO4)2 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni) structures with the known Cu and Zn members of this series whereas M(HAsO4)(H3AsO4)(H2O)0.5 (M = Mn, Cd) and Zn(HAsO4)(H3AsO4) crystallize in novel structure types. The two isotypic M(HAsO4)(H3AsO4)(H2O)0.5 (M = Mn, Cd) structures are closely related with that of Zn(HAsO4)(H3AsO4). Both comprise undulating centrosymmetric [ 1 MO4/2O2/1] chains that share corners with HAsO42 tetrahedra and H3AsO4 tetrahedra to build up layers extending along (001). Intermediate water molecules (occupancy 0.5) link adjacent layers in the water-containing compound whereas the linkage in the Zn-compound is mediated by weak hydrogen bonding interactions between the layers. Results of a quantitative comparison between all known structures of the M(H2XO4)2(H3XO4)2 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; X = P, As) series as well as between the two M(HAsO4)(H3AsO4)(H2O)0.5 (M = Mn, Cd) structures are presented.
