L. Leonyuk et al., STRUCTURAL REFINEMENT OF CRYSTALS WITH M = N = 1 IN THE SERIES OF [M2CU2O3](M)[CUO2](N)-TYPE CUPRATES, Zeitschrift fur Kristallographie, 213(7-8), 1998, pp. 406-410
The series of cuprates [M2Cu2O3]m[CuO2](n) (where M are alkaline earth
or trivalent metals) consisting of two sublattices was studied. The f
irst members [M2Cu2O3][Cu1+deltaO2+gamma] of the series were synthesiz
ed. The structural investigations of the obtained single crystals have
shown that the latter structure can be interpreted as the commensurat
e version of two fragments due to the reconstruction of the Cu-O ribbo
ns. Depending on the chemical composition, the crystals studied were e
ither superconducting (T-c = 85 K) or non-superconducting.
