Type: article
Abstract: Pentacobalt(II) triindium(III) antimony(V) disilicon(VI) hexadecaoxide, Co 5 In 3 SbSi 2 O 16 , was obtained as a single-crystalline by-product through a reaction with the silica glass ampoule during a chemical vapor transport reaction. It crystallizes isotypically with Co 8 TeAs 2 O 16 in space group Cmce , with two (out of four) Co sites co-occupied by In, the Te site replaced by Sb, and the As site replaced by Si. The crystal structure of Co 5 In 3 SbSi 2 O 16 consists of [CoO 6 ], [(In,Co)O 6 ], and [SbO 6 ] octahedra, and [CoO 4 ] and [SiO 4 ] tetrahedra, fused by vertex- and edge-sharing into a complex three-dimensional framework.
