Title: Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of the mixed-valence reduced nickelate La sub 1. 6 Sr sub 0. 4 (Ni sup +I ,Ni sup +II )O sub 3. 47

Abstract

The new mixed-valence nickelate La{sub 1.6}Sr{sub 0.4}(Ni{sup +I}, Ni{sup +II})O{sub 3.47} was prepared by low-temperature reduction of the oxide La{sub 1.6}Sr{sub 0.4}NiO{sub 4.10} at 670 K under hydrogen. This strongly reduced nickelate - 65% Ni{sup +I} - is stable in air, at room temperature. The crystallographic characterization points to an orthorhombic unit cell: a = 3.8729(6) {angstrom}, b = 3.7242(6) {angstrom}, c = 12.767(2) {angstrom}. Structure calculations evidence an oxygen-deficient K{sub 2}NiF{sub 4}-type structure. The oxygen vacancies are found only in the NiO{sub 2} equatorial planes, leading to a lowering of the nickel coordination. The main feature is the occurrence of Ni-O squares systematically orientated along the c-axis.
