Abstract
Crystals of Ba5Ru1.6W0.4Cl2O9were prepared in a BaCl2flux and investigated by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of this new compound was solved and refined in the hexagonal symmetry space group P63/mmcwitha=5.817(2) Å,c=24.839(2) Å, andZ=2 to a finalRof 0.0383. The structure of Ba5Ru1.6W0.4Cl2O9displays a 10-layer stacking sequence of mixed [BaO3] and [BaCl] layers containing isolated (Ru/W)2O9units as face-shared octahedra. Isolated face-shared Ru2O9units are also found in Ba5Ru2Cl2O9which otherwise has a very different structure. Ba5Ru1.6W0.4Cl2O9appears to be the first example of Ru and W sharing the same crystallographic site.
