K-AlGe-GIS crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a with a = 10.311(2) Angstrom, b = 9.749(1) Angstrom, c = 10.225(6) Angstrom, beta = 90.000(2)degrees, and Z = 8. Na-AlGe-GIS crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 14.490(3) Angstrom, b = 9.940(2) Angstrom, c = 23.530(5) Angstrom, beta = 105.90(3)degrees, and Z = 8. Strict alternation of Ge and Al atoms over the framework sites lowers the symmetry of these aluminogermanates from their topological framework symmetry of I4(1)/amd to the real symmetry I2/a. Both structures consist of twisted double-crankshaft chains running along the a and c axes. In K-AlGe-GIS, potassium and water statistically occupy extraframework sites along the perpendicular eight-ring channels, In Na-AlGe-GIS, all three sodium sites are fully occupied and only three out of seven sites containing water are statistically occupied. A zigzag-ordered arrangement of Na sites in Na-AlGe-GIS results in unit cell symmetry hitherto unobserved for GIS. The synthesis of Na-AlGe-GIS requires the presence of organic bases, while K-AlGe-GIS can be synthesized from gels with or without organic bases. Time-resolved synchrotron X-ray powder di fraction patterns obtained as a function of temperature for Na-AlGe-GIS show a gradual disappearance of the C-centered cell between 150 and 180 degreesC with a simultaneous appearance of an I-centered monoclinic phase. Calculated powder diffraction patterns indicate that this phase change results from disordering of Na sites in the eight-ring channels. Results of a single-crystal diffraction study for a 50% Na-exchanged K-AlGe-GIS (K4Na4Al8Ge8O32. 8H(2)O) shows that the space group I2/a is retained with a 0.3% increase in the unit cell volume. Both the AlGe frameworks retain the GIS topology until ca. 150 degreesC after dehydration. The average Al-O-Ge (T-O-T) bond angle of 135.75 degrees in K-AlGe-GIS and 135.29 degrees in Na-AlGe-GIS is smaller than the average Al-O-Si bond angle of 145 degrees in aluminosilicates.
