Synthesis and crystal and electronic structures of the Na2(Sc4Nb2)(Nb6O12)3 octahedral niobium cluster oxide. Structural correlations between AnBM6L12(Z) series and Chevrel Phases.

Résumé

We report here the synthesis and crystal and electronic structures of the Na(2)(Sc(4)Nb(2))(Nb(6)O(12))(3) niobium oxide whose structure is related to that of Ti(2)Nb(6)O(12). It constitutes a new member of the larger A(n)()BM(6)L(12)(Z) families (A = monovalent cation located in tetrahedral cavities of units, B = monovalent or trivalent cations located in octahedral cavities of units, M = rare earth, Zr, or Nb, Z = interstitial except for M = Nb). The structural relationships between the A(n)BM(6)L(12)(Z) series (M(6)L(i)(12)L(a)(6) unit-based compounds with a M(6)L(i)(6)L(i-a)(6/2)L(a-i)(6/2) cluster framework) and Chevrel Phases (M(6)L(i)(8)L(a)(6) unit-based compounds with a M(6)L(i)(2)L(i-a)(6/2)L(a-i)(6/2) cluster framework) are shown in terms of M(6)L(18) and M(6)L(14) unit packing. Despite a topology similar to that encountered in Chevrel Phases, intercalation properties are not expected in the Nb(6)O(i)(6)O(i-a)(6/2)O(a-i)(6/2) cluster framework-based compounds. Finally, it is shown, from theoretical LMTO calculations, that a semiconducting behavior is expected for a maximum VEC of 14 in the Nb(6)O(i)(6)O(i-a)(6/2)O(a-i)(6/2) cluster framework.
