Abstrakt: Single crystals of a novel sodium-magnesium boride silicide, Na 3 MgB 37 Si 9 [ a = 10.1630 (3) Å, c = 16.5742 (6) Å, space group R m (No. 166)], were synthesized by heating a mixture of Na, Si and crystalline B with B 2 O 3 flux in Mg vapor at 1373 K. The Mg atoms in the title compound are located at an inter-stitial site of the Dy 2.1 B 37 Si 9 -type structure with an occupancy of 0.5. The (001) layers of B 12 icosa-hedra stack along the c -axis direction with shifting in the [- a /3, b /3, c /3] direction. A three-dimensional framework structure of the layers is formed via B-Si bonds and {Si 8 } units of [Si] 3 -Si-Si-[Si] 3 .
