Abstract
La5Si3N9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight N3- atoms. There are a spread of La–N bond distances ranging from 2.47–3.12 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to seven N3- atoms to form LaN7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent SiN4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LaN6 octahedra, and edges with four SiN4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of La–N bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.69 Å. In the third La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to seven N3- atoms. There are a spread of La–N bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.93 Å. In the fourth La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form distorted LaN6 octahedra that share corners with six SiN4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one LaN6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LaN7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of La–N bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.81 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form SiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with fourmore »

There are a spread of La–N bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.81 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form SiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LaN6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LaN7 pentagonal bipyramids, and a cornercorner with one SiN4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–72°. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Si–N bond length. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form SiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with three SiN4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent LaN7 pentagonal bipyramids.

In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form SiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LaN6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiN4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent LaN7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There is two shorter (1.74 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Si–N bond length. There are six inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three La3+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three La3+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to four La3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four La3+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five La3+ and one Si4+ atom.
