Abstract

Single crystals of Ba₈CoRh₆O₂₁ were grown out of a potassium carbonate flux. The structure was solved by a general method using the superspace group approach. The superspace group employed was R3m(00γ)0s with a = 10.0431(1) Å, c₁ = 2.5946(1) Å and c₂ = 4.5405(1) Å, V = 226.60(1) ų. Ba₈CoRh₆O₂₁ represents the first example of an m = 5, n = 3 member of the A_3n+3mA'_nB_3m+nO_9m+6n family of 2H hexagonal perovskite related oxides and contains chains consisting of six consecutive RhO₆ octahedra followed by one distorted CoO₆ trigonal prism. These chains in turn are separated from each other by [Ba]_∞ chains.
