| Abstract: | Two polymorphs of lithium magnesium tellurate Li4–2xMg1+xTeO6 have been prepared by solid-state reactions and their crystal structures characterised by powder X-ray and neutron diffraction. For x ≈ 0, a monoclinic C2/m phase is obtained, structurally similar to other O3 type honeycomb layered tellurate and antimonate compounds. The basic structure consists of [Mg2TeO6]3− honeycomb layers alternating with Li layers, with some anti-site disorder of Li and Mg between layers, analogous to the structure of Li4ZnTeO6. For 0 < x < ~0.5 (specifically, x = 0.33) an orthorhombic Fddd phase is obtained, with a rock-salt superstructure containing disordered Li/Mg cation sites surrounding ordered TeO6 octahedra, analogous to the structure of Li3Co2TaO6.© 2020 Elsevier Inc. |
