The structure of BaSrR4O8 (where R=La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Eu, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) has been investigated, and the X-ray reference patterns of these compounds have been prepared using the Rietveld refinement technique. BaSrR2O4 are isostructural to BaR2O4, which have the CaFe2O4 structure type (orthorhombic, Pnam). The cell parameters of these compounds (R=Lu to La) range from 10.125 04(10) to 10.5501(8) Å for a, 3.362 49(3) to 3.692 04(24) Å for b, 11.846 91(13) to 12.5663(9) Å for c, and 403.33 to 489.47 Å3 for V, respectively. There is a linear relationship between V and the Shannon ionic radius of R. Unlike the BaR2O4 compositions (R=Tm, Lu, and Yb), which produced a mixture of Ba3R4O9 and unreacted lanthanide oxides, single-phase BaSrTm4O8, BaSrLu4O8, and BaSrYb4O8 were successfully prepared.

The structures of the solid solution series (Sr4−δCaδ)PtO6, with δ=0, 0.85(1), 2, and 3, have been investigated using the Rietveld refinement technique with laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. A complete solid solution between Sr and Ca was confirmed to exist. These compounds crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R3¯c. The cell parameters of the series range from a of 9.4780(3) to 9.7477(1) Å, and c from 11.3301(4) to 11.8791(1) Å for δ from 3 to 0, respectively. The structure consists of chains of alternating trigonal prismatic (Sr, Ca)O6 and octahedral PtO6 units running parallel to the c axis. These chains are connected to each other via a second type of (Sr, Ca) ions, which are surrounded by eight oxygens, in a distorted square antiprismatic geometry. As Ca replaced Sr in Sr4PtO6, it was found to substitute preferentially in the smaller octahedral (Sr, Ca)1 site (6a) rather than at the eight-coordinate (Sr, Ca)2 site (18e). There appears to be an anomaly of cell parameters a and c at the compound Sr3.15Ca0.85PtO6. Their dependence on Ca content changes at δ≈1.00, where the Ca has fully replaced Sr in the 6a site. The substitution of Sr by Ca reduced the average (Sr, Ca)1–O length from 2.411 to 2.311 Å and (Sr, Ca)2–O from 2.659 to 2.570 Å as the composition varied from Sr4PtO6 to SrCa3PtO6. Reference X-ray powder diffraction patterns were prepared from the Rietveld refinement results for these members of the solid solution series. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of three of the samples (δ=0, 0.85, 2) show electronic transitions at low temperatures.

The Ba2.64Ta11.25O30.81was prepared by conventional solid-state reaction technique as a single phase. It was found that the compound crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P4/mbm (No. 127) and unit-cell parameters are a = 12.508 59(8) Å, c = 3.912 81(2) Å, V = 612.218(7) Å3, and Z = 1. The crystal structure of the Ba2.64Ta11.25O30.81 phase is found to be closely related to the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure type, comprising interstitial (TaO)+ inclusions. Reference data were derived from the Rietveld analysis and reported here.

AbstractThe compounds BaR2O4, where R = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Eu, Dy, Ho and Er have been prepared from a stoichiometric mixture of BaCO3 and lanthanide oxides, and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. Standard X-ray patterns of these phases were prepared. In general, BaR2O4 crystallizes in the pervoskite-related CaFe2O4 structure which is orthorhombic with a space group Pnam. The cell parameters of these compounds from R = Er to La range from 10.3729(12) to 10.668(2) Å for a, 12.0699(11) to 12.642(2) Å for b, from 3.4356(4) to 3.7037(10) Å for c, and from 450.14(5) Å3 to 499.51 Å3 for V respectively. A monotonic, linear relationship is obtained when V is plotted against the cube of the ionic radius of R. When R = Tm, Lu and Yb, the BaO·R2O3 composition produced the mixture Ba3R4O9 and the unreacted lanthanide oxide. Under the present experimental conditions, the compound BaRO3 was the predominant component when R = Ce, Pr, and Tb.

The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase was synthesized from individual elements by silica glass tube technique and structurally characterized from powder X-ray diffraction data. The (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase crystallizes in Fm$\overline3$m symmetry, unit-cell parameters: a = 12.3169(2) Å, V = 1862.55(5) Å3, Z = 4, and Dc = 10.01 g/cm3. The crystal structure of the (Ag,Pd)22Se6 phase represents a stuffed 3a.3a.3a superstructure of the Pd structure (fcc), where only 4 from 108 available octahedral holes are occupied. Its crystal structure is related to the Cr23C6 structure type.

Calculated patterns for the BaR2PdO5 series, in which X is Pd and R=Nd, Sm, Eu, or Gd, have been prepared for materials characterization until experimental patterns can be determined. These compounds are isostructural to the superconductor related “brown phases” BaLa2CuO5 and BaNd2CuO5, which are tetragonal with space group P4/mbm, Z=4. The cell parameters of the Eu and Gd compounds were derived from the La and Nd analogs. The calculated patterns of these four compounds compared well to an experimental pattern of BaNd2CuO5.

The crystal structure redetermination of Sr2PdO3 (distrontium palladium trioxide) was carried out using high-quality single-crystal X-ray data. The Sr2PdO3 structure has been described previously in at least three reports [Wasel-Nielen & Hoppe (1970). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 375, 209–213; Muller & Roy (1971). Adv. Chem. Ser. 98, 28–38; Nagata et al. (2002). J. Alloys Compd. 346, 50–56], all based on powder X-ray diffraction data. The current structure refinement of Sr2PdO3, as compared to previous powder data refinements, leads to more precise cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for all sites. The compound is confirmed to have the orthorhombic Sr2CuO3 structure type (space group Immm) as reported previously. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing PdO4 plaquettes interspersed by SrII atoms. A brief comparison of Sr2PdO3 with the related K2NiF4 structure type is given.

RhPb2 (rhodium dilead) is a superconductor crystallizing in the CuAl2 structure type (space group I4/mcm). The Rh and Pb atoms are located at the 4a (site symmetry 422) and 8h (m.2m) sites, respectively. The crystal structure is composed of [RhPb8] antiprisms, which share their square faces along the c axis and the edges in the direction perpendicular to the c axis. We have succeeded in growing single crystals of RhPb2 and have re-determined the crystal structure on basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with the previous structure studies using powder X-ray diffraction data [Wallbaum (1943). Z. Metallkd. 35, 218–221; Havinga et al. (1972). J. Less-Common Met. 27, 169–186], the current structure analysis of RhPb2 leads to more precise unit-cell parameters and fractional coordinates, together with anisotropic displacement parameters for the two atoms. In addition and likewise different from the previous studies, we have found a slight deficiency of Rh in RhPb2, leading to a refined formula of Rh0.950 (9)Pb2.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.

Caesium manganese hexahydrate phosphate, CsMn(H2O)6(PO4), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The novel phase crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63 mc and represents the first manganese member in the struvite morphotropic series, AM(H2O)6(TO4). Its crystal structure is built from Mn(H2O)6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra linked into a framework via hydrogen bonding. The large Cs atoms are encapsulated in the framework cuboctahedral cavities. It is shown that the size of the A + ionic radius within the morphotropic series AM(H2O)6(XO4) results is certain types of crystal structures and affects the values of the unit-cell parameters. Structural relationships with Na(H2O)Mg(H2O)6(PO4) and the mineral hazenite, KNa(H2O)2Mg2(H2O)12(PO4)2, are discussed.

For the first time, double gadolinium tellurites of the composition GdMIITeO4.5 (MII — Sr, Ba) were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The solid-phase synthesis of samples was carried out from decrepitated gadolinium (III) and tellurium (IV) oxides, strontium, and barium carbonates according to the standard ceramic technology. The synthesis was carried out in the temperature range of 800-1100 °C. The samples obtained were confirmed by X-ray phase analysis. X-ray phase analysis was carried out on an Empyrean instrument in the XRDML Pananalitical format. The intensity of the diffraction maxima was estimated on a 100-point scale. X-ray diffraction patterns indexing of the powder of gadolinium tellurites — alkaline earth metals studied were carried out by the homology method. The reliability and correctness of the results of indexing the X-ray diffraction patterns are confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated values of the interplanar distances (d) and the agreement between the values of the X-ray and pycnometric densities. It was found that compounds GdSrTeO4.5 and GdBaTeO4.5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and have the unit cell parameters, namely GdSrTeO4.5 — a = 12.7610, b = 10.4289, c = 8.6235 Å, V° = 1141.83 Å3, β = 95.77°, Z = 5, ρrent. = 3.22, ρpikn. = (3.10±0.09) g/cm3; GdBaTeO4.5 — a = 15.7272, b = 15.8351, c = 7.1393 Å, V° = 1769.72 Å3, β = 95.53°, Z = 8, ρrent = 3.71, ρpick = (3.61±0.10) g/cm3. Using the Landiya method, the standard heat capacities of the compounds were estimated from the calculated values of the standard entropies, and the temperature dependences of the heat capacities of the gadolinium tellurites synthesized were determined in the temperature range of 298–850 K.
