摘要
Single crystals of low temperature form of BiNb4 (alpha-form) are grown from BiOF flux below 900-degrees-C. The crystals are colorless, trapezodial in shape and electrically insulating. The compound has orthorhombic [a = 5.673 (2), b = 11.714(4) and c = 4.978(2) angstrom] symmetry with a centric space group Pnna (No. 52) and z = 4. The crystal structure was solved by means of single crystal x-ray diffraction and refined to R = 0.031. Both Bi and Nb have distorted octahedral oxygen coordination. The NbO6 octahedra are linked over four comers and thus the structure can be viewed as consisting of sheets of [NbO4]3- units separated by Bi3+ cations. The structure of alpha-BiNbO4 is essentially same as that of the low temperature form of alpha-Sn2+W6+O4.
