Abstract

Triple molybdates AgA3R(MoO4)5 (A=Mg, R=Cr, Fe; A=Mn, R=Al, Cr, Fe, Sc, In) of the NaMg3In(MoO4)5 type were synthesized and single crystals of AgMg3R(MoO4)5 (R=Cr, Fe) were grown. In their structures, the MoO4 tetrahedra, pairs and trimers of edge-shared (Mg, R)O6 octahedra are connected by common vertices to form a 3D framework. Large framework cavities involve Ag+ cations disordered on three nearby positions with CN=3+1 or 4+1. Alternating (Mg, R)O6 octahedra and MoO4 tetrahedra in the framework form quadrangular windows penetrable for Ag+ at elevated temperatures. Above 653–673K, the newly obtained molybdates demonstrate abrupt reduction of the activation energy to 0.4–0.6eV. At 773K, AgMg3Al(MoO4)5 shows electric conductivity 2.5·10−2S/cm and Ea=0.39eV compatible with characteristics of the best ionic conductors of the NASICON type.
