Abstract:
The new spin (1/2) V(4+) barium oxovanadate BaV(4)O(9) was synthesized and studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its room-temperature structure is monoclinic, space group P2/c. We discuss the temperature evolution of the crystal structure and thermal expansion tensor of the material between 293 and 100 K.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
