Über das Oxoindat Ba4In2O7

On the Oxoindate Ba₄In₂O₇ Ba₄In₂O₇ was prepared for the first time by solid state reaction and investigated by X-ray methods. (Space group D_4h¹⁷–14/mmm, a = 4.175; c = 29.483 Å; Z = 2). It shows a close crystal chemical relationship to Ba₃In₂O₆ and La₂SrCu₂O₆. One of the oxygen point positions is occupied only by a half. This fact alleviates the understanding of the layer structure of Ba₄In₂O₇. The compound is compared with Sr₄Tl₂O₇ and a further discussion in respect to Ba₅In₂O₈ shows the probable identity of Ba₅In₂O₈ with Ba₄In₂O₇.

II marks the range of existence of the calciumferrite type within the alkaline earth oxoindates in direction of large radii of M²⁺ ions.     

The pillared layered framework of Ba3(In1−xMx)2(HXO4)6 (0≤x≤1; M=Fe,Cr; X=P,As): synthesis,crystal structure,thermal stability and Mössbauer spectroscopy

The hydrothermal synthesis, single crystal structure analysis, spectroscopic and thermal stability studies of the compounds Ba₃(In_1−xM_x)₂(HXO₄)₆ (0≤x≤1; M=Cr, Fe; X=P, As) are reported. The 3D framework of these new phosphates can be described as a pillared layered framework. The metal cations (In³⁺, Fe³⁺, and Cr³⁺) occupy two crystallographically independent octahedral sites, M(1) and M(2). The layers are formed of M(2)O₆ octahedra and (HPO₄) tetrahedra sharing corners, with M(1)O₆ octahedra serving as pillars between adjacent layers. Single crystal study of Ba₃(In_0.5Fe_0.5)(HPO₄)₆ shows that indium and iron segregate between the two metal sites with Fe occupying primarily the site M(1) and In located primarily in M(2) site. Interactions between the building units within the layers occur through hydrogen bonding. Barium cations are located between the pillars, in 8-membered ring tunnels and are coordinated by 12 oxides. The phases loose three water molecules through condensation of six HXO₄ groups to form Ba₂M₂(X₂O₇)₃ at temperatures between 480 and 600 °C. Mössbauer spectroscopy shows the presence of high-spin Fe³⁺ in octahedral coordination.     

Zur Kenntnis eines Halogenooxo-Cobaltats(III): Sr8Co6O15Cl4

Ba₆Ti₁₇O₄₀, Ba₄Ti₁₃O₃₀, BaTi₄O₉, and Ba₂Ti₉O₂₀ are the only compounds which were found to have a stability range in the subsolidus of the BaTiO₃TiO₂ system. BaTi₂O₅ and BaTi₅O₁₁, reported in other studies, apparently are not stable. The compound reported as Ba₂Ti₅O₁₂ appears to have been mistaken for Ba₆Ti₁₇O₄₀. X-Ray diffraction powder data are given for this phase which is monoclinic with a = 9.890, b = 17.117, c = 18.933 Å and β=98°42.6′.

This compound is orthorhombic with a = 17.072, b = 9.862, and c = 14.059 Å, probable space group, Cmca. An idealized structure for this phase is proposed. Ba₂Ti₉O₂₀ decomposes above 1300°C in the solid state to BaTi₄O₉ plus rutile. Single crystals were grown using BaF₂ as a mineralizer.

Studies on Some Ternary Oxides of AVO3 Composition

AVO₃ (A = Ba²⁺, Sr²⁺, La³⁺, Gd³⁺) oxides have been prepared by hydrogen reduction of suitable vanadium(V) ternary oxides. The oxidation state of vanadium in the reduction products seems to be controlled by the nature of other cations. In the presence of strongly basic alkaline-earth metal ions, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ as in Ba₂V₂O₇ and Sr₂V₂O₇, vanadium is reduced to +4 state. But when A is a trivalent lanthanide ion as in LnVO₄ (Ln = La or Gd), the reduction of vanadium proceeds to +3 state to yield LnVO₃ phases. The products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. BaVO₃ crystallizes in a hexagonal structure related to Ba₃V₂O₈ while SrVO₃, LaVO₃ and GdVO₃ crystallize in GdFeO₃ type structure. Electrical transport measurements indicate that BaVO₃, LaVO₃ and GdVO₃ are p-type semiconductors while SrVO₃ is metallic.     

The Crystal Structures, Microstructure and Ionic Conductivity of Ba2In2O5 and Ba(InxZr1−x)O3−x/2

This paper describes the results of electron microscopy, high-temperature powder neutron diffraction, and impedance spectroscopy studies of brownmillerite-structured Ba₂In₂O₅ and perovskite structured Ba(In_xZr_1−x)O_3−x/2. The ambient temperature structure of Ba₂In₂O₅ is found to adopt Icmm symmetry, with disorder of the tetrahedrally coordinated (In³⁺) ions of the type observed previously in Sr₂Fe₂O₅. Ba₂In₂O₅ undergoes a ∼6-fold increase in its ionic conductivity over the narrow temperature range from ∼1140 K to ∼1230 K, in broad agreement with previous studies. This transition corresponds to a change from the brownmillerite structure to a cubic perovskite arrangement with disordered anions. Electron microscopy investigations showed the presence of extended defects in all the crystals analyzed. Ba(In_xZr_1−x)O_3−x/2 samples with x=0.1 to 0.9 adopt the cubic perovskite structure, with the lattice parameter increasing with x.

Characterization of phase transition of Ba2-xSrxIn2O5 by thermal analysis and high temperature X-ray diffraction

The phase transitions of Ba_2-xSr_xIn₂O₅ were investigated with various thermal analyses and high-temperature X-ray diffraction. It was clarified that crystal structure of Ba_2-xSr_xIn₂O₅ with x=0.0~0.4 varies from brownmillerite through distorted perovskite to another distorted perovskite with increase of temperature. The phase transition from brownmillerite to distorted perovskite was revealed to be first order, whereas transition from distorted perovskite to another one was second order. The specimen with x≥0.5 showed only one first order phase transition from brownmillerite to distorted perovskite. The phase diagram of Ba_2-xSr_xIn₂O₅ was established and existence of tricritical point at ~1100°C with x=0.4~0.5 was suggested. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
