Abstract
AbstractCsCu3O2 was prepared via the azide route. Stoichiometric mixtures of the precursors (CsN3, Cu2O and CuO) were heated in a special regime up to 450 °C and annealed at this temperature for 50 h in silver crucibles. Single crystals have been grown by subsequent annealing of as prepared powders at 450 °C for 2000 h in silver crucibles, which were sealed in glass ampoules under dried Ar. According to the X‐ray analysis of the crystal structure (P3¯m1, Z = 1, a = 5.250(1), c = 5.442(1)Å, γ = 120°) copper is linearly coordinated by oxygen atoms. The CuO2‐dumb‐bells are connected to an infinite two‐dimensional Cu3O2‐network. CsCu3O2 is isostructural with CsCu3S2, CsAu3S2, CsAu3Se2 and RbAu3Se2.
