Abstract

NaPr9Si6(SO12)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.97 Å. There are five inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two S2- and six O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.98 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) Pr–S bond lengths. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.94 Å. In the second Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two S2- and five O2- atoms. There are one shorter (3.02 Å) and one longer (3.03 Å) Pr–S bond lengths. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.58 Å. In the third Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.75 Å. In the fourth Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.77 Å. In the fifth Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.81 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.67 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.64 Å) and two longer (1.65 Å) Si–O bond length. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Pr3+ and six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (3.14 Å) and three longer (3.26 Å) S–O bond lengths. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six Pr3+ atoms. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pr3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, two Pr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Pr3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pr3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, two Pr3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pr3+, one Si4+, and one S2- atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pr3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, two Pr3+, one Si4+, and one S2- atom.
