Struktur‐ und magnetochemische Untersuchungen an Ba5Mn3F19 und verwandten Verbindungen AII5MIII3F19

Structural and Magnetochemical Studies of Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Related Compounds A^II₅M^III₃F₁₉ Single crystal structure determinations by X‐ray methods were performed at the following compounds, crystallizing tetragonally body‐centred (Z = 4): Sr₅V₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.4(2), c = 728.9(1) pm), Sr₅Cr₃F₁₉ (a = 1423.5(2), c = 728.1(1) pm), Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ (a = 1468.9(1), c = 770.3(1) pm, Ba₅Fe₃F₁₉ (a = 1483.5(1), c = 766.7(1) pm), and Ba₅Ga₃F₁₉ (a = 1466.0(2), c = 760.1(2) pm). Only Ba₅Mn₃F₁₉ was refined in space group I4cm (mean distances for elongated octahedra Mn1–F: 185/207 pm equatorial/axial; for compressed octahedra Mn2–F: 199/182 pm), the remaining compounds in space group I4/m. In all cases the octahedral ligand spheres of the M1 atoms showed disorder, the M1F₆] octahedra being connected into chains in one part of the compounds and into dimers in the other. The magnetic properties of the V, Cr and Mn compounds named above and of Pb₅Mn₃F₁₉ and Sr₅Fe₃F₁₉ as well were studied; the results are discussed in context with the in part problematic structures.
