Abstract
The structure of a novel copper platinum oxide, CuPt3O6, has been determined using high resolution synchrotron X-ray and time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction techniques. The atomic positions were found using the X-ray data, and the model was refined using the neutron data. This mixed valence material can be represented as V[Cu2+]IV[Pt2+]VI[Pt4+]2O6. The structure is built from buckled slabs of edge- and corner-linked PtO6 octahedra approximately in (100), and these are held together by alternating infinite stacks of PtO4 squares and edge-linked chains of distorted CuO5 square pyramids along [001]. The structure is orthorhombic, Pn21m, a = 6.1154(2), b = 11.5609(4), c = 3.1012(1) A ̊, V = 219.26(2) A ̊3, Z = 2, Dx = 11.28g cm-3, Rwp = 3.76%, χ2 = 2.35.
