Abstract

The previously unknown silicate ion [Si6O17]10- (c) and mixed-valent silicon centers that differ by five oxidation states are present in the tetrelide(- 1)-tetrelate(+4) compound Cs10[Si4][Si3O9] (anions a and b) and Rb14[E4][Si6O17] (E = Si and Ge; anions a and c). The structures of this new class of compounds can be described by chemical twinning of the silicate and Zintl phases A14[EIV4].
