Single crystals of (K1.52Na0.48)Ca3Si3O10 [idealized (K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10, di(potassium, sodium) tricalcium trisilicate], were obtained from the crystallization of a glass with a molar oxide ratio of K2O:Na2O:CaO:SiO2 = 1.5:0.5:6:6 that was annealed at 1273 K. The can be characterized as a mixed-anion oxidosilicate with isolated [SiO4] tetrahedra as well as [Si4O12] vierer single rings. The insular and cyclic silicate anions occur in the ratio 2:1, resulting in the idealized crystallochemical formula K3NaCa6[SiO4]2[Si4O12]. Charge compensation is provided by K+, Na+ (occupying the same sites) and Ca2+ cations. The two unique Ca2+ cations are coordinated by six O atoms, forming distorted octahedra. By sharing common corners, edges and faces, these [CaO6] polyhedra build up octahedral layer-like motifs parallel to (010). (K/Na)+ ions reside in voids between the the silicate anions and the calcium centered octahedra and are coordinated by eight to nine oxygen ligands. (K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10 is isotypic with K2Ca3Si3O10 indicating the existence of a solid-solution series K2–xNaxCa3Si3O10.

1. Chemical context
The system K2O–Na2O–CaO–SiO2 has attracted considerable interest in materials science due to its relevance to glass technology. Actually, the majority of mass-produced flat and hollow glasses that are ubiquitous in our everyday life are based on melts where the above-mentioned four oxides are the main components (Varshneya, 1994; Shelby, 2009). On the other hand, there are also some archaeologically relevant glass types where this system comes into play. Examples include ancient Chinese glassware that can be dated back to the so-called Warring States Period, 475–220 BC (Liu et al., 2015), as well as wood ash or forest glasses that were produced in Europe during the Middle Ages (Wedepohl & Simon, 2010). A more recent field of interest where the system K2O–Na2O–CaO–SiO2 is of importance are silicate-oxide slags and ashes occurring during the combustion of biomass fuels. The composition of the silicate fraction of these residuals can be represented in the pseudo-ternary diagram K2O(+Na2O)–CaO–SiO2. Consequently, the corresponding simplified ternary phase diagram K2O–CaO–SiO2 has been frequently used for the interpretation of (i) melt formation/composition and (ii) the phase content at sub-solidus conditions (e.g. Lindberg et al., 2013). It is well known that a large number of synthetic and also some natural ternary sodium/potassium calcium silicates exist (Schmidmair et al., 2015; Kahlenberg & Hösch, 2002, and references cited therein). For the quaternary compounds, which may also occur in the ash deposits, the situation is less well understood. So far, the existence of only three anhydrous compounds has been proven (Kahlenberg et al., 2018a,b). Consequently, there is a clear need for thorough experimental determinations of the phase relationships, starting with a comprehensive survey of the existing compounds and the determination of their crystal structures in order to decipher what happens in the sub-solidus region. The present article is a further step into this direction.
2. Structural commentary
(K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10 belongs to the group of so-called mixed-anion silicates. The triclinic compound contains insular [SiO4] as well as cyclic [Si4O12] units in the ratio 2:1. Actually, three crystallographically independent silicon atoms can be distinguished: Si1 represents the center of the insular (Q0-type) tetrahedron while Si2 and Si3 are linked into a Q2-type vierer single ring, whose barycenter is located on a center of inversion (Fig. 1a,b). Consequently, the four silicon atoms of a single ring reside in the same plane. The Si—Si—Si angles within the ring are almost 90° [Si2—Si3—Si2(1 − x, 2 − y, −z) = 88.87 (6)° and Si3—Si2—Si3(1 − x, 2 − y, −z) = 91.14 (6)°]. The four tetrahedra exhibit an UUDD sequence of up (U) and down (D) pointing vertices. Si—O bond lengths and O—Si—O bond angles are in the normal range observed in oxidosilicates (Liebau, 1985). The two independent Si—O—Si angles of the rings have values of 148.7 (4) and 156.4 (3)°, respectively. Both are significantly larger than the value of 140°, which is assumed to correspond to an unstrained Si—O—Si angle (Liebau, 1985), indicating that the cyclic anion is under tension. The geometric distortions of the tetrahedra can be expressed numerically by means of the quadratic elongation λ and the angle variance σ2 (Robinson et al., 1971). These parameters have the following values: 1.001 and 5.32 (for Si1), 1.001 and 3.41 (for Si2) as well as 1.005 and 20.08 (for Si3). For polyhedra with perfect holosymmetric shape the values for λ and σ2 should be 1 and 0, respectively.
The silicate anions are located in layers parallel to (100). Within a single layer the vierer rings and the isolated tetrahedra are arranged in rows running parallel to [010] (Fig. 2). Charge compensation is accomplished by the incorporation of additional Ca2+, K+ and Na+ ions occupying a total of five different crystallographically independent positions. Site population refinements in combination with bond-length considerations indicated that three of them are exclusively occupied with Ca2+ cations. They are coordinated by six oxygen ligands in form of distorted octahedra (Fig. 3). The two octahedra around Ca1 and Ca3 form a dimer sharing one common face. Each two of these dimers share common corners and are connected into a tetramer. By sharing a common edge, two adjacent [Ca2O6] octahedra build a second type of dimer. These [Ca2O10] moieties in turn provide linkage between the surrounding tetramers by sharing common faces and edges. The complex arrangement of the different [CaO6] polyhedra results in the formation of an octahedral layer-like building unit extending parallel to (010) (Fig. 4). The remaining two sites within the show mixed K/Na populations. They are located between the silicate anions and the [CaO6] octahedra and have eight and nine next oxygen neighbors. A projection of the parallel [100] is given in Fig. 5. Bond-valence-sum calculations based on the parameter sets of Brese & O'Keeffe (1991) (for Si—O bonds) and Brown & Altermatt (1985) (for Ca—O, K—O and Na—O interactions) resulted in the following values (in valence units): Si1: 3.884; Si2: 4.062; Si3: 4.143; Ca1: 2.132; Ca2: 1.978; Ca3: 1.858; K1/Na1: 1.073 and K2/Na2: 1.189.
3. Database survey
As mentioned above, the title compound is isotypic with K2Ca3Si3O10 (Schmidmair et al., 2015). The main difference is due to the mixed K–Na occupancies of the two interstitial cation positions, which are exclusively occupied by K in the corresponding potassium calcium silicate. For the calculation of several quantitative descriptors for the characterization of the degree of similarity, the program COMPSTRU (de la Flor et al., 2016) was employed. The structure of (K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10 was transformed to the most similar configuration of K2Ca3Si3O10. The calculations revealed the following displacements (in Å) between the corresponding atom pairs in both phases: Si1: 0.039; Si2: 0.100; Si3: 0.039; Ca1: 0.050; Ca2: 0.107; Ca3: 0.107; (K/Na)1: 0.043; (K/Na)2: 0.133; O1: 0.052; O2: 0.118; O3: 0.046; O4: 0.140; O5: 0.078; O6: 0.084; O7: 0.213; O8: 0.214; O9: 0.181; O10: 0.036. The measure of similarity (Δ) as defined by Bergerhoff et al. (1999) has a value of 0.038. Notably, the most pronounced shifts occur between the two symmetrically independent bridging oxygen atoms of the vierer ring (O7, O8).
4. Compositional strain
The comparison of the unit-cell volumes of (K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10 and K2Ca3Si3O10 reveals a reduction of about 2.41 Å3 or 0.5% for the present compound. On the one hand, this trend has to be expected when larger K+ cations are partially replaced with smaller Na+ cations. On the other hand, the observed difference in unit-cell volume is not that pronounced. A closer look at the individual lattice parameters reveals two opposing trends. While the a-axis direction in the mixed crystal decreases by about 0.04 Å, the c-axis increases by 0.05 Å. The b-axis direction is virtually unaffected by the K–Na substitution (reduction of 0.003 Å). Furthermore, all three unit-cell angles narrow. Not surprisingly, for low-symmetry solid solutions a complex interplay between chemical composition and structural changes related to individual deformations of the coordination polyhedra is to be expected. To obtain a more holistic picture of the distortion patterns, the evaluation of the the so-called compositional strain tensor can be a helpful tool. The derivation of the components of this second-rank tensor from two sets of lattice parameters corresponding to two different compositions has been described by Ohashi & Burnham (1973), for example. The necessary calculations have been performed with the program Win_Strain 4.11 (Angel, 2011). Using a finite Eulerian strain formalism referred to an orthonormal coordinate system {x, y and z} with z // c, x // a* and y = z × x, the following components of the 3 × 3 matrix for the strain tensor ɛij were derived: ɛ11 = 0.0083 (2); ɛ22 = 0.0012 (2); ɛ33 = −0.0045 (2); ɛ12 = −0.0026 (2); ɛ13 = −0.0006 (2) and ɛ23 = −0.0058 (2). With respect to the Cartesian coordinate system of the principal axes {e1, e2 and e3}, the following three principal strains are obtained: ɛ1 = −0.0083 (2); ɛ2 = 0.0041 (3); ɛ3 = 0.0093 (2) indicating a pronounced anisotropy of the strain. With the help of the symmetrical ɛij tensor, the relevant strain can be calculated for any direction defined by a vector q whose three components are the direction cosines q1, q2 and q3, i.e. the cosines of the angles between q and the three axes of the Cartesian reference system. By plotting the individual values as a function of q, one obtains a geometric representation of the tensor in form of a surface in three-dimensional space. The visualization of the corresponding surface is given in Fig. 6. It gives concise information about the distribution of expanding and shrinking directions when the mixed-crystal as the reference state is compared with the pure potassium end-member.
As expected for the triclinic case, the principal axes are not related to the directions of the crystallographic coordinate system along a, b and c. Using Win_Strain, the following angles between the principal and the crystallographic axes have been derived. The values given in parentheses refer to the corresponding angles with a, b and c, respectively: e1: (75.1°; 53.7°; 33.3°); e2: (72.5°; 44.4°; 122.5°); e3: (156.7°; 68.0°; 96.9°). Finally, the components of the principal axes in the crystallographic coordinate system have been calculated and the corresponding vectors analyzed together with specific elements of the structure using the program VESTA-3 (Momma & Izumi, 2011). Notably, the direction ɛ3 of major expansion with increasing K concentration (major compression with increasing Na content) is roughly perpendicular to the mean plane of the vierer single rings. The direction of the negative principal axis ɛ1 is parallel to the direction of the face-sharing octahedral dimers around Ca1 and Ca2.
5. Synthesis and initial characterization
Synthesis experiments for a sample with nominal composition (K1.5Na0.5)Ca3Si3O10 were based on the following fine chemicals: Na2CO3 (Merck, 99.9%), CaCO3 (Merck, >99.9%), K2CO3 (Alfa Aesar, 99.997%) and SiO2 (Alfa Aesar, 99.995%). Before weighing on an analytical balance (Mettler Toledo LabStyle 204), the educts were dried at 573 K for 12 h. A total of 1 g of the stoichiometric mixture was homogenized for 45 min in a planetary ball mill (Fritsch Pulverisette 7) under ethanol. Subsequently, the sample was dried again at 333 K for complete removal of the alcohol and, finally, stored in a desiccator. High-temperature treatment was performed in a small platinum capsule having an inner diameter of 5 mm and a length of 35 mm. After closing the lower end of the capsule with a welding apparatus, about 100 mg of the educt mixture was charged into the Pt container. The capsule was placed vertically in an alumina combustion boat, transferred to a chamber furnace, heated slowly to 973 K and annealed for 12 h for complete disintegration of the carbonates. After removing from the furnace, the solid material was carefully compacted. Subsequently, the upper open end of the capsule was pinched and welded shut. Actually, sealing was performed in order to prevent potassium and/or sodium losses which are likely to occur at temperatures above 1273 K. Subsequently, the container was placed back into the furnace and heated from 298 K to 1573 K with a ramp of 5 K min−1. After holding the target temperature for 24 h, the sample was quenched in water. The resulting glass was finally annealed for 24 h at 1273 K and cooled in air. Weighing the closed capsule before and after the high-temperature treatment indicated that the container had not leaked during the synthesis run. The capsule was opened, the solidified melt cake was mechanically separated from the container, further crushed in an agate mortar and transferred to a glass slide under a polarizing binocular. A first inspection revealed the presence of transparent, colorless, birefringent single crystals up to 150 µm in size, showing sharp extinction between crossed polarizers. Several crystalline fragments were fixed on glass fibers using nail hardener. Diffraction experiments aiming on the determination of the unit-cell parameters proved the presence of a compound related to K2Ca3Si3O10. The crystal with the best overall diffraction quality was finally selected for structural investigations.
6. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . Initial coordinates for the calculations were taken from the isostructural ambient pressure polymorph of K2Ca3Si3O10 (Schmidmair et al., 2015). Unconstrained site-population refinements of the relevant K/Na sites under the assumption of full occupancy resulted in an almost ideal K:Na ratio of 3:1. Therefore, for the final cycles a restraint (SUMP instruction in SHELXL97; Sheldrick, 2008) was introduced which fixed the total K:Na content to 3:1 atoms in the unit cell.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |
