New calcium germanium nitrides: Ca2GeN2, Ca4GeN4, and Ca5Ge2N6.

Abstract:

We report three new calcium germanium nitrides synthesized as crystals from the elements in sealed niobium tubes at 760 degrees C using liquid sodium as a growth medium. Black Ca2GeN2 is isostructural with the previously reported strontium analogue. It is tetragonal P4(2)/mbc (no. 135) with a = 11.2004(8) A, c = 5.0482(6) A, and Z = 8. It contains GeN2(4-) units which have 18 valence electrons, and consequently are bent, like the isoelectronic molecule SO2. In contrast, clear, orange Ca4GeN4 ...
