Y. Sadaoka et al., PREPARATION OF PEROVSKITE-TYPE LAFEXCO1-XO3 BY THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF HETERONUCLEAR COMPLEX, LA[FEXCO1-X(CN)(6)]CENTER-DOT-NH(2)O FOR ELECTROCERAMIC APPLICATIONS, Journal of alloys and compounds, 261(1-2), 1997, pp. 182-186
Heteronuclear complex, La[FexCo1-x(CN)(6)]. nH(2)O was synthesized and
the thermal decomposed products were examined. Single phase of perovs
kite-type LaFexCo1-xO3 powders were obtained by the thermal decomposit
ion of the complexes even at 600 degrees C. Hexagonal structure is obs
erved for Fe/La<0.5 and orthorhombic (pseudo-cubic) for Fe/La>0.5. Fro
m a mechanically mixed and compacted complexes of La[Fe(CN)(6)]. nH(2)
O and La[Co(CN)(6)]. nH(2)O, perovskite-type LaFexCo1-xO3 oxide could
not be formed by thermal decomposition/sintering even at 1100 degrees
C. It is concluded that La[FexCo1-x(CN)(b)]. nH(2)O complex is a suita
ble precursor to prepare finer and homogeneous perovskite-type LaFexCo
1-xO3. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
