High-pressure BaCrO{sub 3} polytypes and the 5H–BaCrO{sub 2.8} phase
Polytypism of BaCrO{sub 3} perovskites has been investigated at 900–1100 °C and pressures up to 22 GPa. Hexagonal 5H, 4H, and 6H perovskites are observed with increasing pressure, and the cubic 3C perovskite (a=3.99503(1) Å) is observed in bulk form for the first time at 19–22 GPa. An oxygen-deficient material with limiting composition 5H–BaCrO{sub 2.8} is synthesised at 1200 °C under ambient pressure. This contains double tetrahedral Cr{sup 4+} layers and orders antiferromagnetically below 260 K with a (0 0 1/2) magnetic structure. - Graphical abstract: Hexagonal 5H, 4H, and 6H perovskites polytypes of BaCrO{sub 3} are observed with increasing pressure and the cubic 3C perovskite is stabilised in bulk form for the first time at 19–22 GPa.
