Abstract
A low-temperature ionothermal method for the facile synthesis of the halide carbonate, Ba 3Cl 4CO 3, in single-crystalline form has been developed. This has enabled the first determination of the crystal structure of this material to be carried out. Analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicates that barium chloride carbonate crystallises in the orthorhombic space group Pnma ( Z=4), with a=8.4074(11), b=9.5886(12), c=12.4833(15) Å ( R w=0.0392). It exhibits a complex structure in which a three-dimensional network is formed from cross-linking of chains of anion-centred octahedra that share faces.
