Abstract
New layered perovskites, MCa 2Ta 3O 10 (M = alkali metal), were synthesized by a solid-state reaction and an ion-exchange reaction. The crystal structures were refined from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns by Rietveld analysis. These compounds are new members of the Dion–Jacobson series with n = 3 for the general formula M[A n−1B nO 3n+1] (M = alkali metal, B = Nb). In addition, a new reduced tantalate, Na 2Ca 2Ta 3O 10, was synthesized by intercalation reaction from the parent sodium compound, NaCa 2Ta 3O 10. This intercalation compound is the first example of the Ruddlesden–Popper-type tantalate. The stacking feature of the perovskite layer is discussed on the basis of the results obtained from the structure refinement. The stacking sequences are dependent on space volume sizes formed between the perovskite layers.
