Hydro­thermal synthesis yielded crystals of hepta­barium dodeca­fluoride dichloride, Ba7F12Cl2, displaying a new 2a,c hexa­gonal superstructure with P\overline{6} symmetry. The superstructure results from the disorder of Ba2+ cations over two adjacent tricapped trigonal prismatic sites located in channels parallel to the c axis.

Barium fluorochlorides and -bromides with the composition Ba7F12X2 (X = Cl or Br) can be synthesized by high-temperature flux growth, room-temperature gel growth (Kubel et al., 1999 [Please specify which, a or b]; Kubel, 2005) and hydrothermal methods. For Ba7F12Cl2, two distinct modifications have been characterized to date, including an ordered and a disordered modification grown from an LiF and an NaCl flux, respectively (Kubel et al., 1999 [Please specify which, a or b]). Crystals obtained from gel growth showed further disorder (Kubel et al., 1999 [Please specify which, a or b]).

In this study, selected crystals of Ba7F12Cl2 grown by hydrothermal synthesis have been investigated. A superstructure modification, which can be described as an ordered (position) and disordered (occupancy) variant, has been discovered. The hydrothermal synthesis was carried out under the same conditions as described for Pb7F12Cl2 (Kubel et al., 2000).

The basic crystal structure of Ba7F12Cl2 is built up of a matrix of matlockite-like units where one type of Ba2+ cation has a coordination number of 9 (2Cl + 7 F). Fig. 1 shows the propeller-type arrangements, with Cl ions as the axes and F ions as the blades of the propellers. Within this framework, tricapped trigonal channels filled with the second type of Ba2+ ions complete the structure. Two hypothetical positions separated by a distance of c/2 can be occupied within the channels (Kubel et al., 1999 [Please specify which, a or b]). An average 50% occupancy of both sites or a full occupancy of one site defines the disordered and ordered modifications, respectively. The lattice parameters are slightly different in each case. Crystals grown by gel-growth methods show small but significant deviations from the ideal ordered structure and a small increase in unit-cell volume.

For the new hexagonal superstructure, the c parameter is close to that of the disordered variant and the normalized a axis is close to that of the ordered modification. As seen in Fig. 2, the c/a ratio is different for all types of order and disorder. A small increase of disorder as found in the gel-grown crystals shows a higher unit-cell volume but a similar c/a ratio. This tendency is strongly increased for the new superstructure, for which a, c and the unit-cell volume are significantly increased. Lattice parameters of several crystals were measured. The refinements showed only small deviations from the structure described here with, for example, slightly different populations of the Ba sites responsible for the superstructure. The superstructure was also confirmed from powder diffraction refinements showing superstructure reflections at low diffraction angle.

The formation of the 2a,c superstructure is related to the different occupancies of the Ba3 and Ba6 sites in the channels, which vary slightly with the growth conditions in the hydrothermal system. Fig. 1 can be compared with the drawing in Kubel et al. (2000). In the present superstructure, a new arrangement of three propellers connected to the fluoride channel is formed, which is not observed in the ordered or disordered modifications. The Ba—X distances are not changed significantly but consist of two sets of distances similar to each modification. The environments of Ba1, Ba3, Ba4 and Ba6 are similar to the ordered variant, whereas those of Ba2, Ba5, B7 and Ba8 are similar to the disordered modification.

Experimental top

Crystalline needles of Ba7F12Cl2 up to 5 mm in length were formed by hydrothermal synthesis from the corresponding aqueous fluorides and chlorides placed in Teflon-lined steel containers at 523 K for 40 d. Detailed synthesis conditions have been previously described in the case of Pb7F12Cl2 (Kubel et al., 2000). Hexagonal and optically uniaxial crystals were broken from the needles and selected under polarized light (Leitz Orthoplan Wild M3 microscope) for X-ray diffraction analysis. X-ray fluorescence analysis showed only Ba, F and Cl signals. The lattice constants and unit-cell volumes of several individual crystals were determined on a Bruker SMART diffractometer with a graphite monochromator and a SMART APEX detector. Selected powdered crystals were analyzed with powder X-ray diffraction [Philips Xpert diffractometer and TOPAS R2–1 refinement package (Reference for software?)].

Refinement top

The refined parameters varied slightly from one sample to another and differed from those of the ordered and disordered Ba7F12Cl2 phases. A doubling of the a and b axes was found for several crystals with a normalized unit-cell volume larger than expected from our former data. Substitution with larger bivalent ions can be excluded, so a new structural arrangement had to be taken into consideration. To improve the ratio of variables to intensities, the F atoms were refined isotropically. The quality of the refinement did not improve when anisotropic displacement parameters were used. The absorption correction was carried out using the crystal shape method and the corresponding absorption coefficient. All atomic positions were standardized using STIDY (Gelato & Parthe, 1987). Constraints were applied to the (x,y) coordinates and the occupancies of the Ba3 and Ba6 sites. The maximal residual electron density of 1.954 e Å−3 was found in position (0.6956,0.3482, 0.0957) and the minimal residual density of −5.626 e Å−3 was found in position (2/3,1/3,1/2).
