Abstract

The compound La2Ti2O7 was prepared by a liquid mix technique and examined at room temperature by x-ray diffraction, infrared absorption, and Raman spectroscopy. The examinations confirm and supplement the earlier observation by x-ray diffraction that La2Ti2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic structure without an inversion symmetry. The energy-shifts (cm−1) that were observed in the vibrational spectra may be explained by a sixfold coordination for the titanium and a ninefold coordination for the lanthanum in the structure. This type of coordination satisfies Pauling's electrostatic valence rule regarding the electrostatic bond strengths at the shared anions.
