Abstract: | Ba2BiV3O11 containing Bismuth within closed Coordination A new barium bismuth oxovanadate, Ba2BiV3O11, was prepared and investigated by X-Ray single crystal technique. It crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry space group C—P21/a, lattice constants a = 24.6473; b = 7.7347; c = 5.6375 Å, β = 103.16°; Z = 4. Octahedra arround Bi3+, tetrahedra and double tetrahedra arround V5+ form a tunnel structure. The tunnel positions are occupied by Ba(2). |
