Abstract

Polycrystalline black coloured Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is prepared from a mixture of analytical grade BaO2, CuO, Cu metal, and Pr 2O3 (2 : 2 : 1 : 0.5), which are ground, pelletized, and heated in evacuated quartz ampoules at 1273 K for 4 days, and then slowly cooled.

X-ray powder diffraction data show that Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is orthorhombic, a = 3.823(2), b = 3.877(2), c= 11.793(5) Å, space group Pmmm (no. 47), Z = 1. The structure of Ba2Cu3PrO7−x is refined from 37 reflections by using a least-squares method up to Rc = 0.044 and Rw = 0.041. Structural data and main interatomic distances are given.
