Abstract: | The silver iodate(VII), Ag5IO6, was obtained by reacting a stoichiometric mixture of Ag2O and KIO3, at elevated oxygen pressure, adding a small portion of distilled water. The synthesis was done at 673 K and 270 MPa of oxygen pressure. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods based on single crystal diffraction data ( , Z = 6, a = 5.9366(1), c = 32.1471(6) Å, 323 independent reflections, R1 = 2.31 %). According to conductivity measurements, Ag5IO6 is semiconducting with a specific resistance of 0.08 Ωcm at 300 K. The activation energy was determined as 7.4(1) meV in the temperature range of 220 – 300 K, and 4.3(1) meV in the temperature range of 90 – 180 K. The optical band gap for Ag5IO6 is 1.4 eV. Ag5IO6 is diamagnetic with a magnetic susceptibility of ?4.4×10?4 emu/mol. |
