Abstract

Perfekt gestapelte Schichten aus Honigwaben liegen in dem Nioboxochlorid [{Tl5(Ti3Cl9)}{(Nb6Cl12O4)3(Ti3Cl4)2}] vor (siehe Bild), was zu Tunneln führt, die [Tl2Cl9]3−- und Tl+-Ionen enthalten (zur besseren Übersicht nicht gezeigt). Die Bildung dieser ungewöhnlichen Schichtstruktur scheint durch die Konfiguration der beiden Basisclustereinheiten und durch Templateffekte begünstigt.
