Description

Single crystals of KBaVO4 (I) and KSrVO4 (II) have been prepared by crystallization from V2O5 flux. The yellowish crystals show orthorhombic symmetry, space group D162h-Pnma with (I): a = 7.774(2), b = 5.899(1), c 10.375(2) A, (II): a = 7.400(2), b = 5.812(1), c = 9.961(1), Z = 4. Both compounds show an ordered distribution of K+ and Ba2+ and Sr2+ respectively. The different sizes of the KO10 and BaO9 (SrO9) polyhedra are discussed with respect to those of the β-K2SO4 structure, considering the calculations of the Coulomb terms of lattice energy. (orig.)
