Abstract

An examination of manganese silicates and germanates revealed unusual structural motifs and extremely different chemistries, with identical hydrothermal reactions forming K2Mn2Si3O9 versus K11Mn21Ge32O86(OH)9(H2O). The germanate is exceptional in both its c-axis length (exceeding 76 Å) and unit cell volume (nearly 18000 Å3), the largest known polygermanate structure to our knowledge.
