Topochemical reactions between CaCrO3 and polyvinylidene difluoride yield the new fluorinated phase CaCrO2.5F0.5, which was characterized by powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The reaction proceeds via reduced oxide intermediates, CaCrO2.67 and CaCrO2.5, in which CrO6 octahedral and CrO4 tetrahedral layers are stacked in a different manner along the c axis of CaCrO3. These two intermediate phases can be selectively synthesized by the carbothermal reduction with g-C3N4. Both CaCrO3 and CaCrO2.5F0.5 adopt the same orthorhombic space group, Pbnm; however, the fluorinated phase has decreased Cr–O–Cr bond angles as compared to the parent compound in both the ab plane and along the c-direction, which indicates an increased orthorhombic distortion due to the fluorination. Overall, while the oxygen vacancies are ordered in both intermediate phases, CaCrO2.67 and CaCrO2.5, a site preference for fluorine in the oxyfluoride phase cannot be confirmed. CaCrO3 and CaCrO2.5F0.5 undergo antiferromagnetic phase transitions involving spin canting, where the fluorination causes the transition temperature to increase from 90 K to 110 K, as a result of the competition between the increased octahedral tilting and the enhancement of superexchange interactions involving Cr3+ ions in the CaCrO2.5F0.5 structure.
