Abstract

LiSr(2)(NCN)I(3), the first extended compound containing empty tetrahedral Sr(4) entities, is synthesized using a new flux route, and it exhibits two interpenetrating three-dimensional networks made up from Sr tetrahedra capped by NCN(2-) anions on their triangular faces and vertex-sharing LiI(6) octahedra.
