Isolierte trigonale SrO6 – Prismen verknüpfen Kagome-Netze im Strontium-Manganat(IV)-Tellurat(VI): SrMnTeO6 / Kagomé Layers Connected by Isolated Trigonal SrO6 Prisms in the Strontium Manganate(IV) Tellurate(VI): SrMnTeO6 L

Abstract

Abstract Single crystals of the hitherto unknown compound SrMnTeO6 have been prepared from Sr(OH)2 ·8H2O , MnCO3(aq) and TeO2 in air by crystallization below the melt range. X-ray investigations showed hexagonal symmetry, space group D3 3h -P6̅2m, lattice constants a = 5.143( 1), c = 5.384(2) A, Z = 1. SrMnTeO6 is characterized by staggered [(Mn/Te)6O18] Kagome layers along [001]. These layers are connected by Sr2+ ions, resulting in SrO6 prisms isolated from each other. The structure is discussed with respect to the connection of Kagome nets in the quaternary oxides of the Ba3Ln4O9 type.
