A novel lithium copper iron phosphate with idealized formula Li5Cu2 2+Fe3+(PO4)4: crystal structure and distribution of defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gray-green single crystals were obtained under high-pressure, high-temperature hydro-thermal conditions. A refinement of atom occupancies gave the composition Li(3.68)Cu(2+)Fe(3+)(Cu(0.55)Li(0.45))(2)Fe(2+) (0.15)(PO(4))(4). The structure is built from triplets of edge-sharing (Cu,Li)O(5)-FeO(6)-(Cu,Li)O(5) polyhedra, CuO(4) quadrilaterals and PO(4) tetra-hedra. In the (Cu,Li)O(5) polyhedra the Cu and Li positions are statistically occupied in a 0.551 (2):0.449 (2) ratio. Both FeO(6) and CuO(4) polyhedra exhibit [Formula: see text] symmetry. The positions of additional Li atoms with vacancy defects are in the inter-stices of the framework.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new alluaudite-like iron phosphate Na2CaMnFe(PO4)3
A new iron phosphate, disodium calcium manganese(II) iron(III) tris(phosphate), Na2CaMnFe(PO4)3, has been synthesized as single crystals by the flux technique. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The structure belongs to the alluaudite structural type and thus, it obeys the X(2)X(1)M(1)M(2)2(PO4)3 general formula. Both the X(2) and X(1) sites are fully occupied by sod...

Copper substituted lithium iron phosphate, with the olivine structure, has been synthesized hydrothermally as dark-brown single crystals with 15% of the iron sites occupied by cupric ions. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility, combined with Li solid state NMR studies performed on powder sample, showed that 5% of the lithium ions also reside on the iron site, giving the f...
