Abstract
The strontium gallium oxynitride Sr(4)GaN(3)O and nitride-carbodiimide Sr(4)GaN(3)(CN(2)) are reported, synthesized as single crystals from molten sodium at 900 degrees C. Red Sr(4)GaN(3)O crystallizes in space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 7.4002(1) Angstroms, b = 24.3378(5) Angstroms, c = 7.4038(1) Angstroms, and Z = 8, as determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements at 150 K. The structure may be viewed as consisting of slabs [Sr(4)GaN(3)](2+) containing double layers of isolated [GaN(3)](6-) triangular anions arranged in a "herringbone" fashion, and these slabs are separated by O(2-) anions. Brown Sr(4)GaN(3)(CN(2)) has a closely related structure in which the oxide anions in the Sr(4)GaN(3)O structure are replaced by almost linear carbodiimide [CN(2)](2-) anions [Sr(4)GaN(3)(CN(2)): space group P2(1)/c (No. 14), a = 13.4778(2) Angstroms, b = 7.4140(1) Angstroms, c = 7.4440(1) Angstroms, beta = 98.233(1) degrees, and Z = 4].
