N2 - The crystal structures of two K1-xCsxBSi2O6 solid solutions have been refined at room temperature dy the Rietveld method: x = 0.12, a = 12.6858(4) Å, Rwp = 7.66%, RF = 5.56% and x = 0.50, a = 12.8480(2) Å, Rwp = 7.64%, RF = 3.10%. They are isostructural to cubic KBSi2O6 with the space group I4̄3d. The structure is built up from (Si,B)O4 tetrahedra linked in four-, six- and eight-fold rings which are forming a three-dimensional borosilicate framework. The framework contains large cavities that are placed in continuous channels along the [111] directions. The Cs and K atoms occupy the positions in the channels statistically. Thermal behaviour of KBSi2O6 and K0.5Cs0.5BSi2O6 has been studied by high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction within the temperature range of 293-1073 K. A new tetragonal polymorph of KBSi2O6 has been found in situ under heating. The new polymorphic I4̄3d (cubic) - Ia3̄d (cubic) transition and the new Ia3̄d cubic polymorphic phase has been proposed for K1-xCsxBSi2O6 from our experimental and literature data on crystal structures and thermal expansion of leucites. The structural relaxation under cationic (K, Cs) substitutions and under heating has been investigated.
