The title compound, dirubidium tetraantimonate(V), Rb2Sb4O11, has been synthesized by reaction. It is isotypic with known A2Sb4O11 (A = K, Cs) structures and consists of an (Sb4O11)2− skeleton and two Rb atoms as charge-compensating cations. Distorted SbO6 octahedra share edges and corners, resulting in a layered assembly. Alternate stacking of the layers along the c axis leads to the formation of tunnels. The Rb+ ions, surrounded by nine and ten O atoms, respectively, are located in these tunnels. Some atoms in the structure are on special positions of m symmetry (two Sb atoms, both Rb atoms and four O atoms) and 2 symmetry (one O atom).

Isotypic structures have been reported by Hong (1974) [K2Sb4O11] and by Hirschle et al. (2001) [Cs2Sb4O11]. For Rb—O distances in the of Rb3Ti2(TiO)(PO4)3P2O7, see: Duhlev (1994).

A mixture of Rb2CO3 (Aldrich, 0.6224 g; 2.70 mmol), Sb2O3 (Aldrich, 0.3143 g; 1.08 mmol) and H3BO3 (Aldrich,0.5000 g; 8.09 mmol) was ground in a mortar and pestle. The ground mixture was then added into a platinum crucible. The furnace temperature was slowly raised from room temperature and heated at 773 K for 12 hrs, 923 K for a further 12 hrs, and then kept at 1273 K for 24 hrs. The furnace was cooled to room temperature over a period of 48 hrs. The melt was washed with hot water to remove the excess boric acid, filtered and dried in an oven at 353 K. Colourless crystals of compound (1) were obtained from the melt.
All atoms were refined anisotropically. It was necessary to apply SHELX ISOR restraints to O2, O5 and O1; a value of 0.001 Å2 was used. The highest peak and the deepest hole of the final Fourier map are located at 1.85 Å from Rb1 and 0.85 Å from the Sb2 atom, respectively.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Single crystals of the title compound (1), were formed inadvertently during one of our flux syntheses aimed at producing new oxides in the quaternary Rb/Sb/B/O system. There are two A2Sb4O11 (A = K, Cs) compounds known and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Hong, 1974 and Hirschle et al., 2001). A2Sb4O11(A = K, Cs) crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group C2/m and have two-dimensional structures with Sb in octahedral coordination. In K2Sb4O11, the K+ ions are mobile in the tunnels. The K+ ions have been ion-exchanged with Na+, Ag+, Rb+ and TI+ in molten salts, but neither their unit-cell parameters nor their crystal structures are available (Hong, 1974). In Cs2Sb4O11, Cs+ ions are not mobile (Hirschle et al., 2001). Here, we report the crystal structure of Rb2Sb4O11, confirming that it is isotypic with A2Sb4O11 (A = K, Cs).
The crystal structure of compound (1) contains two Rb (Rb1 and Rb2), three Sb (Sb1, Sb2 and Sb3) and eight O (O1—O8) atoms (Fig.1). The atoms Sb1, O4, O6 and O7 are on general positions, all other atoms are on special positions, viz. mirror planes and twofold-rotation axes. Each antimony atom is coordinated to six oxygen atoms to form distorted octahedra with Sb—O distances ranging from 1.903 (4) to 2.129 (5) Å, comparable to those in the isotypic antimonates(V) (Hong, 1974; Hirschle et al., 2001). Rb1 is nine fold coordinated and Rb2 is ten fold coordinated to oxygen atoms (Fig. 2 (a) and 2(b)) with Rb—O distances ranging from 2.933 (4) - 3.473 (4) Å, comparable to Rb3Ti2(TiO)(PO4)3P2O7 (Duhlev, 1994). The coordination number of Rb+ ion differs from the the 11 coordinated A+ ions reported for the isotypic A2Sb4O11 (A = K, Cs) compounds, where the non bonding distances of K—O; 3.78 (3) - 3.832 (4) Å, Cs—O; 3.721 (8) - 3.940 (9) Å were considered as bonds.
In the asymmetric unit of the title compound (1) all oxygen atoms are shared between two SbO6 octahedra, except the oxygen atoms O(2) and O(4), that are common to all three Sb(1)O6, Sb(2)O6 and Sb(3)O6 octahedra (Fig. 1). In compound (1), there are two different layers (1 and 2) formed by edge-sharing of Sb(1)—Sb(1), Sb(2)—Sb(2) and Sb(3)—Sb(3) octahedra to form three types of Sb2O10 dimers (Fig. 3). Layer 1 is formed by edge-sharing of the Sb2(2)O10 and Sb2(3)O10 dimers and layer 2 is formed by Sb2(1)O10 dimers sharing corners with the layer 1. Alternate stacking of these two layers along the c axis leads to formation of tunnels and Rb+ ions are located in these tunnels. The single-crystal data was measured at 123 K and the displacement parameters observed for Rb+ are roughly isotropic, indicating that they are not mobile in the channels.
