Structures of New Ternary Iridates Prepared using Hydrothermal Chemistry

DOI

We propose to measure powder neutron diffraction data from some new iridium oxides prepared using mild hydrothermal reaction conditions. Although we have some structural models from laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data that suggest the identity of these mixed-metal oxides phases, neutron diffraction is crucial to refine the structures in order to provide details of the oxide ion location, content and the details of metal-site vacancies. The materials are being studied for the solid-state redox properties so it is vital that we have accurate structural models. This work forms part of a wider programme that is investigating how the use of solution crystallisation allows the controlled formation of complex metal oxide phases: structure refinement of these phases is needed to allow the effect of reaction conditions on the outcome of atomic order to be established.
