A new cationic clathrate I Si(46-x)P(x)Te(y) (6.6(1) < or = y < or = 7.5(1), x < or = 2y at 1375 K) was synthesized from the elements and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDXS), neutron powder diffraction, and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The thermal behaviors of the magnetic susceptibility and resistivity were investigated as well. Si(46-x)P(x)Te(y) reveals a wide homogeneity range due to the presence of vacancies in the tellurium guest positions inside the smaller cage of the clathrate I structure. The vacancy ordering in the structure of Si(46-x)P(x)Te(y) causes the change of space group from Pm3n (ideal clathrate I) to Pm3 accompanied by the redistribution of P and Si atoms over different framework positions. Neutron powder diffraction confirmed that P atoms preferably form a cage around the vacancy-containing tellurium guest position. Additionally, (31)P NMR spin-spin relaxation experiments revealed the presence of sites with different coordination of phosphorus atoms. Precise determination of the composition of Si(46-x)P(x)Te(y) by WDXS showed slight but noticeable deviation (x < or = 2y) of phosphorus content from the Zintl counting scheme (x = 2y). The compound is diamagnetic while resistivity measurements show activated behavior or that of heavily doped semiconductors. Thermal analysis revealed high stability of the investigated clathrate: Si(46-x)P(x)Te(y) melts incongruently at approximately 1460 K in vacuum and is stable in air against oxidation up to 1295 K.

The europium-containing clathrate-I Eu(x)Ba(8-x)Cu(16)P(30) was synthesized from the elements. Powder X-ray diffraction in combination with energy dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EDXS) and metallographic studies showed the homogeneity range with x ≤ 1.5. Determination of the crystal structure confirmed the presence of an orthorhombic superstructure of clathrate-I and revealed that Eu atoms exclusively resided in small pentagonal-dodecahedral cages. Magnetic measurements together with X-ray absorption spectroscopy are consistent with a 4f(7) (Eu(2+)) ground state for Eu(x)Ba(8-x)Cu(16)P(30). Below 3 K the Eu moments order antiferromagnetically. Resistivity measurements revealed metallic behavior of the investigated clathrate, in line with the composition deviating from the Zintl counting scheme. Local vibrations of the guest atoms inside the cages are analyzed with the help of specific heat investigations.

A new representative of a very rare clathrate III family, Si130P42Te21, has been synthesized from the elements. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4(2)/mnm (no. 136) with the unit cell parameters a=19.2632(3) angstroms, c=10.0706(2) angstroms. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and solid state 31P NMR revealed a non-random distribution of phosphorus atoms over the framework positions. The crystal structure features a peculiar packing of large polyhedra Te@(Si/P)(n) never observed before for cationic clathrates. Despite the structural complexity, the composition of the novel clathrate Is in accordance with the Zintl rule, which was confirmed by a combination of optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDXS), as well as by diamagnetic and semiconducting behavior of the synthesized phase. Clathrate Si130P42Te21 exhibits the highest reported thermal stability for this class of materials, it decomposes at 1510 K. This opens new perspectives for the creation of clathrate-based materials for high-temperature applications.
