Abstract: | On the Structure of LiMIIMIIIF6 Compounds. New Compounds with MIII=IN and Ti LiMnIIInF6 compounds with MII = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Ca crystallize in the Na2SiF6 structure. The Ti(III) compound LiMgTiF6 has trirutile structure, LiMnTiF6 has Na2SiF6 and trirutile structure (H.-T. modification), LiCaTiF6 and LiCdTiF6 have Li2ZrF6 superstructure. With MII = Co, Ni and Zn solid solutions trirutile — MF2(rutile) could be only prepared. The lattice constants of all compounds are reported. For LiMnVF6 and LiFeGaF6 too dimorphism Na2SiF6 trirutile was observed. In the system LiNiCrF6 (trirutile) — LiMnCrF6 (Na2SiF6 structure) phase limits of both structures are determined in dependence on the ratio of ionic radii r/r. Magnetic data of the In compounds with MII = Co and Ni and of the Ti(III) compounds with MII = Mg, Zn, Mn, just as of α- and β-LiMnVF6 are also given. The three structures only exist if r reaches from 0.6 to 1.2 Å and r from 0.5 to 0.8 Å. The stability-fields are determined by the ratio of ionic radii r/rLi, r/rLi and r/r: trirutile 0.9–1.2, Na2SiF6 type 1.2–~1.4 and Li2ZrF6 superstructure >1.4. The dependence of rate of ionic radii is explained by the different sharing of MF6 octahedra. |
