Extract

K0.19Ba3.18Mo22O34is a representative of the quaternary reduced molybdenum oxides in the series Mn±δMo4n+2O6n+4. These compounds contain condensed clusters Mo4n+2O8n+10 with a core of n trans edge-sharing molybdenum octahedra. The general concept of cluster condensation is discussed elsewhere. In the case of n being finite the clusters are designated as ‘oligomeric’. The individual clusters are interconnected via common oxygen atoms and arranged in layers. For the title compound with n = 5, the clusters consist of 5 molybdenum octahedra and are accompanied by 4 counter-cations (potassium and barium).

The real structure of K0.19Ba3.81Mo22O34 has been recently studied with a Philips CM30/ST (Cs = 1.15 mm) by HREM, SAED, and EDXS. Besides chemical intergrowth of oligomeric clusters with n = 2—18 in the matrix consisting of pentameric clusters, polytypism was observed. Three ordered polytypes (modifications) were found, whereas only one of them, lM (Ramsdell notation), was detected and analyzed with x-ray methods.
