Single-crystal structure determinations at room temperature and elevated temperatures were carried out on the silver ion conductor Ag 5 Te 2 Cl, and the hitherto unknown structure of the room-temperature phase ( -Ag 5 Te 2 Cl) was determined. Ion pathways are discussed for the room-and high-temperature phase by analyzing the joint probability density functions. Main transport pathways at different temperatures were worked out to obtain detailed insight into the movement of the silver atoms in this material. Ag 5 Te 2 Cl is an excellent 1D ionic conductor having a pronounced silver mobility along complex silver columns. Conductivities are σ ) 1.51 × 10 -3 Ω -1 cm -1 at 323 K and σ ) 4.30 × 10 -1 Ω -1 cm -1 at 469 K. With use of a nonharmonic description of the silver distribution of the high-temperature phase, a promising structure model has been derived for the room-temperature phase.-Ag 5 Te 2 Cl can be regarded as an intermediate phase between the disordered high-and the ordered low-temperature phase, showing an almost ordered silver distribution in addition to a slightly different arrangement of the anionic substructure.
Orange -red (CuBr) 2 P 8 Se 3 was obtained from stoichiometric amounts of CuBr, P and Se by melting and subsequent annealing at 380 8C for 1 month. The crystal structure was determined from single crystal X-ray data. (CuBr)

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
