Abstract

Ba2CaTb2Ti3(CuO7)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.11 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent TbO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one TbO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.22 Å. Ca2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.52 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Tb3+ sites. In the first Tb3+ site, Tb3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.42 Å) and fourmore » longer (2.44 Å) Tb–O bond lengths. In the second Tb3+ site, Tb3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form TbO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent TbO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TbO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Tb–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.76 Å. There are three inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with five TiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CuO5 square pyramid, and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–12°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.12 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with five TiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CuO5 square pyramid, faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent TbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–14°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.00 Å. In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six TiO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent TbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–12°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.97 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids, and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are four shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.45 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids, and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are four shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Ca2+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Tb3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Tb3+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Tb3+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, one Ti4+, and one Cu2+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, one Ti4+, and one Cu2+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ca2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Tb3+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb3+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms.« less
