| Abstract: | About the Crystal Structure of Ba3In2O6 Single crystals of Ba3In2O6 could be prepared by recrystallization of a flux and by solid state reaction in closed platinium tubes, respectively. Ba3In2O6 crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry (space group 14/mmm, a = 4.1868; c = 21.7041 Å, Z = 2). Single crystal X-ray work lead to a crystal structure like La2-xSr1+xCu2O6-δ therefor Ba3In2O6 is a modified member of the Sr3Ti2O7-Type. The coordinations of Ba2+ and In3+ are described and the relations to the Sr3Ti2O7-type are discussed. |
