Abstract: | A new series of perovskite-like compounds CMn7O12 have been synthesized under high pressure and high temperature conditions. C is a large divalent or trivalent cation such as Ca, Cd, Sr, La and Nd. The structures of the quenched materials have been determined from powder X-ray data. They are distortions of the NaMn7O12 cubic structure. The C2+Mn3+3](Mn3+3Mn4+)O12 compounds are trigonal (). The C2+ and Mn3+ as well as the Mn3+ and Mn4+ cations are ordered on the corresponding A and B sites of the perovskite structure, respectively. The C3+Mn3+3] (Mn3+4)O12 compounds are monoclinic (). In these compounds the order exists only in the A sites. It is shown that the lower symmetry may be the result of a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect of the Mn3+ cations occupying the B sites. |
