Abstract: | Oxides of a New Type of Formula: On the Knowledge of K3Ni2O4 and K3Pt2O4 K3Ni3O4, greyblack single crystals, obtained by heating K2O and NaNiO2 [K:Ni = 2:1, 500°C, 7d, Ag-cylinders], crystallizes orthorhombic with a = 6.044, b = 9.049, c = 10.567 Å, Z = 4, space group Cmcm (drö = 3.43, dpyk = 3.32 g · cm?3). Due to four cycle diffractometer data (374 hkl, MoKα, R = 8.6percnt;) a new type of structure is found with wavebands of [NiO4/2] documentclass{article}pagestyle{empty}begin{document}$ mathop {rm N}limits^{rm 1} $end{document} exhibits the C.N. 6, documentclass{article}pagestyle{empty}begin{document}$ mathop {rm N}limits^{rm 2} $end{document} the C.N. 4. Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, calculated by means of Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, the Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE and the magnetic properties are discussed. K3Pt2O4, black single crystals with metallic lustre, obtained by heating KOx (x = 1.55 or 1.88) and Pt (powder) [K:Pt = 4:1,1000°C, lh, 600°C, 2d, Pt-capsules] is isotypic to K3Ni2O4 (four cycle diffractometer data: 458 hkl, MoKα, R = 12percnt;). Cellparameters are a = 6.15, b = 9.27, c = 11.51 Å (single crystal data), drö = 5.79 and dpyk = 5.77 g · cm?3. |
