Abstract

The structure of PbSnF4 is derived from that of fluorite-type β-PbF2 The replacement of half the lead by tin results in a thousand-fold increase of the fluoride ion mobility, even though tin-fluorine bonds are strongly covalent. This is due to an increase of fluoride ion disorder on some sites. The structure of α-PbSnF4 can be interpreted as resulting from the insertion of two layers of [SnF]+ cations between each pair of layers of PbF8 cubes. This has profound bearings on the texture and properties of this material, since the tin(II) stereoactive lone pairs create very effective cleavage planes. In addition, the fluorine covalently bonded to tin occupy all vacant sites used to create Frenkel defects. However, superionicity is observed by complex impedance measurements. Transport number measurements show that fluoride ions are the charge carriers.
