Abstract

The fluorite-related anion-excess β-Pb1−xFexF2+x (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.27) orthorhombic crystal structure is approached from powder diffraction data. A 1 × 1 × 2 fluorite supercell is found to describe the main aspects of the structure, which would have ideally the Pb3FeF9 formula (x = 0.25) (space group Cmmm, a = 5.9926(1), b = 5.5781(1), c = 11.5208(3) Å), and would include a complete [FeF4]−1 perovskite plane, orthogonal to the c axis. However, there is large Pb substitution (44%) on the perovskite Fe site as well as Fe substitution (∼25%) on one of the two main Pb sites. A strong relationship with the fully ordered crystal structure of Pb8MnFe2F24, which can be expressed as Pb1−xMxF2+2/3x (x = 0.273), is discussed, suggesting that both phases may have infinite [M3F14] ribbons in common.
