Abstract: | Note on Li2PdO2 For the first time we prepared ruby-red single crystals of Li2PdO2 by reaction with the wall 3 Na2O + Li2O2 + ?Tb4O7”?(+ Pd) = 3 Na2TbO3 + Li2PdO2 + ?TbO2”?, Pd-tube, 1100°C, 7 d. Single crystal data confirm the Li2CuO2-type of structure [a = 375.34(5), b = 298.18(4), c = 931.58(10) pm; spacegroup Immm; dx = 4.85 g · cm?3; 144 I0(hkl); R = 3.54%, Rw = 3.19%; MoKα ; four-circle diffractometer Philips PW 1100] and reveal clearly different parameters compared with those deduced by powder data. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, corresponds now to the sum of the MAPLE values of the binary oxides. |
