The title compound represents a ionic mixed-valent tin(II)–tin(IV) compound with the bivalent tin atom as central atom of the cation and the tetra­valent tin atom as central atom of the anion. Regarding the first and second coordination sphere, the bivalent tin atom is fourfold, seesaw and fivefold, trapezoid–pyramidal coordinated while the tetra­valent tin atom exhibits an octa­hedral coordination.

The Fe2+ to Fe3+ oxidation in oxoborates vonsenite and hulsite leads to a decrease of values of unit-cell volumes, volumetric thermal expansion coefficients and subsequent solid-phase decomposition. A partial magnetic ordering in hulsite is observed for the first time with Tc ∼383 K, which is accompanied with unusual changes of thermal expansion coefficients.

K0.7[FeII3.7FeIII1.3(HPO3)6]·5H2O was synthesized under mild hydro­thermal conditions. The open-framework phosphite contains channels extending along [001] in which disordered potassium cations and water mol­ecules are located.

The mixed-valent titanium phosphate, Li2Ti2(PO4)3, has been prepared by the reactive halide flux method. The title compound is isostructural with Li2TiM(PO4)3 (M = Fe, Cr) and Li2FeZr(PO4)3 and has the same 3[Ti2(PO4)3]2− framework as the previously reported Li3-xM2(PO4)3 phases. The framework is built up from corner-sharing TiO6 octa­hedra and PO4 tetra­hedra, one of which has 2 symmetry. The Li+ ions are located on one crystallographic position and reside in the vacancies of the framework. They are surrounded by four O atoms in a distorted tetra­hedral coordination. The classical charge-balance of the title compound can be represented as Li+2(Ti3+/Ti4+)(PO43−)3.

The first λ35-tetraphosphete contains a 4π-electron four-membered ring as the central structural unit of a dispirocyclic system and can thus be classified as an analogue to diphosphetes and cyclodiphosphazenes. According to its crystal structure the central P4 unit exhibits not only P–P bonds which are of equal length (P1–P2 2,139(1) Å, P1–P2A 2,142(1) Å), but also rhombic distortion (P1–P2–P1A 79,4(1)0, P2–P1–P2A 100,6(1)0).[1] Therefore its electronic structure cannot be described as 'Phosphacyclobutadiene' but either as a bis(ylide) or as a system with delocalized double bonds. After various quantum chemical calculations and an extensive examination of its reaction and coordination behavior failed to answer this question, we addressed the problem via a detailed analysis of its charge density distribution. The experimental charge density based on high resolution X-ray diffraction data collected at low temperature is determined by multipole least squares refinement using the program package XD2006.[2] In a first step, the static deformation density exhibits charge density which is located mainly outside of the P4 ring plane at the λ3-phosphorus atoms but simultaneously redistributed into the P–P bond area. In addition to that, a study of its topological properties and an inspection of the Laplacian of the electron density according to Bader's `Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules' (QTAIM)[3] further highlight the bonding features. They reveal polar Si–N, Si–C and P–N bonds with a decreasing amount of electrostatic contribution as well as four valence shell charge concentrations (thus sp3 hybridization) at each of the phosphorus atoms. Finally supported by theoretical calculations, the results illustrate the unique bonding situation in the P4 unit combining a high ylidic character with unusual not exclusively sigma-like P–P bonds.
