Abstract:
An ordered double perovskite Pb(2)FeReO(6) was prepared at 6 GPa and 1000 degrees C. Despite the presence of Pb(2+) ions at the A site, its crystal structure was determined in a synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction study to be a centrosymmetric one with the space group I4/m (a = 5.62 A and c = 7.95 A). No structural transition to the lower symmetry was observed at temperatures down to 23 K. This compound exhibited a ferrimagnetic transition at 420 K, and its saturation magnetization could be adjusted by using different heat treatments to change the degree of Fe(3+)/Re(5+) ordering.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
