Journal of The American Chemical Society, 2004

Large single crystals of oxygen-deficient Sr 6 Co 5 O 15-δ compounds, i.e., Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and... more Large single crystals of oxygen-deficient Sr 6 Co 5 O 15-δ compounds, i.e., Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and Sr 6 Co 4.9 Ni 0.1 O 14.36 , were obtained by using K 2 CO 3 flux in the presence of additives of transition metal oxides. The single-crystal structure determination shows that the structures of Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and Sr 6 Co 4.9 Ni 0.1 O 14.36 crystallize in the space group R3 h and can be described as one-dimensional face-sharing CoO 3 polyhedral chains and Sr cation chains. Unlike the other known 2H-perovskite-related oxides in which the polyhedral chains consist of octahedra (Oh) and trigonal prism (TP), the structure of Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and Sr 6 Co 4.9 Ni 0.1 O 14.36 contain Oh and intermediate polyhedra (IP) and can be attributed to a general structure formula A 6 A ′ 2 B 3 O 15-δ , which is closely related to the known A 6 A ′ B 4 O 15 phases by shifting of a B atom and the O 3 triangle along the c axis. Further study on O3 reveals that this oxygen position splits into two independent positions, corresponding to polyhedral geometry of IP and TP, respectively. Therefore, the polyhedral chain in the structure should be more precisely described as a random composite of the 4Oh + TP and 3Oh + 2IP. This model is used to interpret the magnetic properties, although not quantitatively. The 4-D structure analysis was also conducted for both Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and Sr 6 Co 4.9 Ni 0.1 O 14.36 with a commensurate modulated structure in a 4-D superspace group, R3 hm(00γ)0s, γ ) p/k ) 3/5. By considering the same 4-D superspace group R3 hm(00γ)0s but different t-phases, one can understand the structure relationship between Sr 6 Co 5 O 14.70 and Sr 6 Rh 5 O 15 .
