A Si modified Ge 10 cluster with structure Na 4 (Ge,Si) 9 O 20 (denoted as HUT‐1) was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis at 160 °C with a sodium silicate source. The compound was characterized by single crystal, powder X‐ray diffraction and TGA‐DSC analysis. HUT‐1 crystallizes in space group I4 1 (80) with calculated unit cell (a=14.966(5) Å, c=7.343(2) Å, V=1644.8(9) Å 3 ), which has the same structure as Na 4 Ge 9 O 20 . HUT‐1 has a high Si/Ge ratio with an approximate formula of Na 4 Ge 7.68 Si 1.32 O 20 . Single crystal X‐ray structure refinements together with results from X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) confirm the occupancy of Si at two tetrahedral sites. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
