Abstract

A new compound NaCu12(Si2O7)4Cl was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. Using X-ray diffraction analysis, its crystal structure was established as containing 0-dimensional copper oxide clusters Cu12O24 of a new type, which can be described as a truncated tetragonal bipyramid built from CuO4 square groups, connected by sharing common edges and vertices. The complexes are combined through Si2O7 disilicate groups into a three-dimensional electroneutral framework [Cu12(Si2O7)4]0, built on the principle of the bcc grid (body-centered cubic lattice). Disordered Na+ and Cl ions are located in the cavities of the framework. The structure of the 12-nucleated copper oxide clusters is similar to those of the CunO2n polyoxocuprates found in various minerals and inorganic compounds.
