摘要
Manganese rare earth antimonates with the formula Mn(2)Ln(3)Sb(3)O(14) (Ln=La-Yb and Y) have been prepared and their structures were determined by the Rietveld method using X-ray diffraction data. The compounds with Ln=La, Pr and Nd crystallize in a rhombohedral supercell of the cubic fluorite with the space group R (3) over barm and with the lattice parameters a(h) approximate to root 2a(c) and c(h) approximate to root 2 root 3a(c), where a(c) denotes the lattice constant of the cubic fluorite. The structure is pyrochlore-like but differs from the common cubic pyrochlore A(2)B(2)O(7) in that it consists of fully ordered Mn:Ln in the A sites and Mn:Sb in the B sites with the ratio 1:3. The most interesting feature of Mn(2)Ln(3)Sb(3)O(14) is that the divalent Mn ions have different coordination numbers with oxygen and the Mn(II)O-6 (octahedron) and Mn(II)O-8 (hexagonal bipyramid) alternate along the parent cubic fluorite axes. For medium sized lanthanides, i.e. from Ln=Sm, the rhombohedral phase coexists with the cubic phase and Mn2Y3Sb3O14 is cubic a pyrochlore. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
