β¦ Synopsis
Single crystals of a new reduced calcium niobium oxide, CaNb 2 O 4 , were prepared in an evacuated quartz tube at 11003C. The calcium niobium oxide crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcm with a β«Ψβ¬ 5.054(1), b β«Ψβ¬ 11.904(1), and c β«Ψβ¬ 5.839(1) A s , Z β«Ψβ¬ 4, and the 5nal R factors are R β«Ψβ¬ 0.027 and R w β«Ψβ¬ 0.029 for 799 unique re6ections. The crystal structure has the layer built up by edge-sharing of NbO 6 trigonal prisms to form in5nite metal+metal bondings as seen in ANbO 2 (A β«Ψβ¬ Li,Na). The Ca 2Ψ ion is located at the trigonal prism site in the interlayer. No evidence for superconductivity was found down to 2.0 K.
