Abstract

Sm2La6Co7AgO24 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional.

In the fourth Co+3.29+ site, Co+3.29+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six CoO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.93 Å. In the fifth Co+3.29+ site, Co+3.29+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AgO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.93 Å. Ag1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AgO6 octahedra that share corners with six CoO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–5°. There are two shorter (2.01 Å) and four longer (2.02 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two Co+3.29+ atoms.
