Abstract

K2NaOsO5.5 and K3NaOs2O9 were obtained from solid-state reactions of potassium superoxide, sodium peroxide and osmium metal at elevated oxygen pressures. K2NaOsO5.5 crystallizes as an oxygen-deficient cubic double perovskite in space group Fm3¯m with a=8.4184(5)Å and contains isolated OsO6 octahedra. K3NaOs2O9 crystallizes hexagonally in P63/mmc with a=5.9998(4)Å and c=14.3053(14)Å. K3NaOs2O9 consists of face sharing Os2O9 pairs of octahedra. According to magnetic measurements K2NaOsO5.5 is diamagnetic, whereas K3NaOs2O9 displays strong antiferromagnetic coupling (TN=140K), indicating enhanced magnetic interactions within the octahedral pair.
