H. Mullerbuschbaum et H. Unsal, ON BA6PR2CO4O15 AND BA5SRPR2CO4O15, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(3), 1996, pp. 453-455
Ba6Pr2Co4O15 (I) and Ba5SrPr2Co4O15 (II) have been prepared by high te
mperature CO2-LASER techniques. Both compounds crystallize with hexago
nal symmetry, space group C-6(v4)-P6(3)mc, (I): a = 11.814(1), c = 7.1
00(2) Angstrom; (II): a = 11.646(1), C = 6.8602 Angstrom, Z = 2. It is
remarkable that the strongly reducing Pr3+ can coexist with the more
oxidizing Co3+.
