Abstract
Crystals of Sr3NiPtO6 and Sr3CuPtO6 were grown from a K2CO3 flux containing SrCO3, NiO or CuO, and Pt metal powder, at 1150 °C. The structure of Sr3NiPtO6 was solved by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure was refined in space group R3c, with a = 9.5832(1) A and c = 11.1964(1) A. Sr3CuPtO6 and Sr3NiPtO6 are structurally related to the parent compound, A4PtO6 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba), and contain infinite chains of alternating, face-sharing PtO6 octahedra and A‘O6 (A‘ = Ni, Cu) trigonal prisms. Magnetic measurements were carried out on both samples using 3−5 mm long single crystals. Magnetic susceptibility studies on oriented single crystals of Sr3NiPtO6 indicate the presence of Ni(II) ions with a large single-ion anisotropy (D = 93.7(5) K, g∥ = 2.143(6), and g⊥ = 2.392(4)). In contrast, Sr3CuPtO6 exhibits S = 1/2 Heisenberg linear chain antiferromagnetism with J/k = −24.7(1) K, J‘/k = −7.3(8) K, g∥ = 2.127(6), and g⊥ = 2.150(6).
