Abstract

A new telluro-phosphate compound Ba2Cu2Te2P2O13 with S=1/2 Heisenberg chain has been successfully synthesized by solid state reaction and grown by flux method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Ba2Cu2Te2P2O13 crystallizes into a monoclinic space group C2/c and cell parameters of a=17.647(3)Å, b=7.255(2)Å, c=9.191(2)Å and β=100.16 (3)°. In the structure of Ba2Cu2Te2P2O13, one dimensional [CuTePO7]3− chains are formed by tetrahedral PO4 and trigonal bi-pyramidal TeO4 joining square planar CuO4 groups. Those [CuTePO7]3− chains are inter-connected by sharing one oxygen atom from the TeO4 group to form two dimensional layers. Magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements confirm that the title compound is a model one dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain system.
