Title: {alpha}- and {beta}-La{sub 4}Ti{sub 9}Si{sub 4}O{sub 30}. Synthesis and structure of the second member (m = 2) of novel layered oxosilicates containing (110) rutile sheets. Electrical property and band structure characterization of the mixed-valence titanium(III/IV) oxosilicate series, La{sub 4}Ti(Si{sub 2}O{sub 7}){sub 2}(TiO{sub 2}){sub 4m} (m = 1, 2)

Detailed description is presented of molten salt synthesis, single crystal structures, and a comparison is offered of the {alpha}- and {beta}-La{sub 4}Ti{sub 9}Si{sub 4}O{sub 30} phases. The electrical property and band struture of this mixed-valence titanium (III/IV) oxosilicate series, La{sub 4}Ti(Si{sub 2}O{sub 7}){sub 2}(TiO{sub 2}){sub 4m} (m = 1,2), are discussed in terms of electronic interactions in a confined space with respect to the (110) rutile sheets. The results from the extended Hueckel tight binding calculations and the bond valence sum analysis are contrasted with regard to charge distribution. 33 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
