β¦ Synopsis
The structures of K 2 Te 4 O 9 (I) and K 2 Te 2 O 5 (II), prepared from the melts, are determined by single-crystal XRD methods and compared to that of the known Li, Na, K, and Cs tellurites. (I) (monoclinic, P2 1 /c, Z = 4) is built-up from linked 12-membered tellurite rings, coordinated by potassium. In (II) (P2 1 /c, Z = 4) infinite chains of [Te 2 O 5 ] 2-are separated by corrugated sheets of K + cations. In the new structures, K acts like a conventional modifier inducing nonbridging oxygen. The cleavage of the tellurite network by the alkali oxide significantly depends on the nature of the modifier. Li induces the fewest nonbridging oxygens, whereas K and Cs induce two nonbridging oxygens per equivalent of added cations. This behavior, which is different from that of silicate modification, is attributed to delocalized electrons across several nonbridging oxygens.
