AbstractThe isotypic compounds La3[SiN4]F and La3[SiN3O]O were synthesized in a radio‐frequency furnace at 1600 °C. The crystal structures [Pnma (no. 62), Z = 4; La3(SiN4)F: a = 9.970(3), b = 7.697(2), c = 6.897(2) Å, V = 529.3(3) Å3; La3(SiON3)O: a = 9.950(2), b = 7.6160(15), c = 6.9080(14) Å, V = 523.48(18) Å3] were elucidated from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data and corroborated by Rietveld refinement, lattice‐energy calculations (Madelung part of lattice energy, MAPLE) and Raman/FTIR spectroscopy. Both compounds are homeotypic with Na2Pr[GeO4]OH forming a network of vertex‐sharing FLa6/OLa6 octahedra, whose voids are filled with non‐condensed SiN4/SiN3O tetrahedra. o‐La3[SiON3]O is the orthorhombic polymorph of this compound, which probably represents the high‐temperasture modification, whereas the tetragonal polymorph t‐La3[SiON3]O represents the low‐temperature modification. While the space group of the t‐polymorph [I4/mcm (no. 140)] differs from the new La3[SiN4]F and o‐La3[SiN3O]O, the crystal structure contains the same linking pattern.
