Abstract: | Redetermination of the K2CuF4 Structure The structure of K2CuF4 was redetermined by x-rays. An enlarged tetra-gonal unit cell of dimensions a = 5.858, c = 25.42 Å was found. The refinement in spacegroup D–I4c2 yielded R = 0.06. Contrary to former findings the JAHN-TELLER- distortion of the CuF6-octahedra corresponds to a tetragonal elongation with distances Cu–F = 1.92 Å (4 ×) and 2.22 Å(2×). |
