โฆ Synopsis
The title compound and its deuteride were synthesized in high yield by sintering appropriate mixtures of BaH 2 (BaD 2 ), BaO and Al 2 O 3 in welded Ta containers at 1100 ยฐC under a hydrogen (deuterium) pressure of 600-700 torr. The structure was determined by a combination of single crystal X-ray and time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction means (orthorhombic Pnma, Z โซุโฌ 4, a โซุโฌ 10.4911( 9), b โซุโฌ 8.1518(7), c โซุโฌ 7.2399 (6) A s for the deuteride). The compound contains nominal Ba 2ุ cations, AlO 5ุ 4 complex anions and H ุ (D ุ ) anions. The hydride is bound in a strongly distorted barium octahedron while the tetrahedral AlO 5ุ 4 anion is surrounded by eleven barium atoms in a peculiar polyhedral configuration. The HBa 6 octahedra are linked together by corner-sharing to form a three dimension framework with large voids defined by eight of the HBa 6 octahedra that are occupied by the tetrahedral AlO 5ุ 4 anions. The structure is closely related in a hierarchical way to that of orthorhombic inverse perovskitic Ba 3 GeO.
