Abstract: | On Hexagonal Perovskites with Cationic Vacancies. XX. Ba6Nb4Zr□o18 - a New Stacking Polytype with a Rhombohedra1 18 L Structure The white Ba6Nb4Zr□O18 crystallizes in a rhombohedral 18 L structure (a = 5.821 Å; c = 42.63 Å; space group R3 m) with three formula units for the trigonal setting (?exp = 6.05 g/cm3; ?calc = 6.271 g/cm3). The corresponding TiIV and HfIV compounds, Ba6Nb4Zr□O18 and Ba6Nb4Hf□O18, are isotypic. |
