Abstract

The X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the title compound is reported in the range 5 ≤ 2θ ≤ 125°. The sample was prepared through solid-state reaction of BaCO3, CuO, and Pr6O11, and characterized with respect to oxygen content through iodometric titration. Refined parameters for the orthorhombic (space group Pmmm) unit cell are a = 3.8587(2) Å; b = 3.9302(1) Å; c= 11.7126(3) Å; a/b = 0.98181(6); a/c = 0.32945(2); b/c = 0.33555(1); Z = 1; Dx = 6.705(2) Mg m−3; V = 177.62(1) Å3; formula wt. = 717.48(16) g mol−1; SS/FOM: F30 = 48(0.005,127).
