Description

The structure of the double perovskite Ba2PrIrO6 has been re-examined by profile analysis of X-ray diffraction data. It has been shown that neither the monoclinic P21/n nor the tetragonal P4/mnc space group correctly describes its structure. Ba2PrIrO6 has cubic symmetry, space group Fm3-bar m, cell parameter a=8.40135(6)A. In agreement with earlier observations, Ba2PrIrO6 is an ordered perovskite containing the valence pair Pr(IV)/Ir(IV)
