Zwei Beispiele fiir partielle und totale Defekte im Ba▪Ln2Mo4O16-Typ: BaCu0,41▪0,59Pr2Mo4O16 und Ba▪Yb2Mo4O16 / Two Examples of Partial and Total Defects in the Ba▪Ln2Mo4O16-Typ: BaCu0,41▪0,59Pr2Mo4O16 and Ba▪Yb2Mo4O16
Abstract Single crystals of (I) BaCu0,41Pr2Mo4O16 and (II) BaYb2Mo4O16 have been prepared by flux technique. Both compounds crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, space group C62h-C2/c with (I): a = 5.352(11), b = 12.888(2), c = 19.399(4) Å; β = 90.89(3)°; (II): a = 5.181(7), b = 12.467(3), c -19.350(3) Å , β -91.93(2)°, Z = 4. The crystal structure is characterized by 1∞[BaMO12]-chains along [010]. In the first case the M positions are occupied by copper by about 41%, in the second case these positions remain completely unoccupied. With respect to the crystal chemistry of the reference compound Ba(Cu0.22Mg0,78)Nd2Mo4O16 all substances of the composition BaLn2Mo4O16 should be written as Ba▪Ln2Mo4O16 indicating the holes in the 1∞[BaMO12]-chains by ▪.
