Na3GaF6 and Na3GaF6:Mn4+ samples were obtained from NaNO3 and Ga(NO3)(3)center dot 9H(2)O in hydrofluoric acid using K2MnF6 or NaMnO4 as manganese sources. The structure of Na3GaF6 was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 90, 293, 440 and 500 K, confirming the monoclinic cryolite type structure, space group P2(1)/c. The gallium atoms show slightly distorted octahedral coordination by fluorine atoms, similar to the Nal atoms. Coordination number 8 is observed for Na2. Both sodium sites are clearly distinguished by Na-23 MAS-NMR spectroscopy. Above 400 K the spectra reveal distinct chemical exchange effects, signifying sodium ion hopping between these two sites. At the same time static F-19 NMR spectra indicate pronounced motional narrowing effects in this temperature region. The nearly invariant Ga-69 MAS-NMR spectra suggest that any reorientational motion involving the GaF63- ions (if present) occurs with preservation of the center of mass of these octahedra.
