摘要
The crystal structures of (CH3NH3)(2)Cu(Cl1-xBrx)(4) compounds have been investigated by means of synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function analysis at room temperature. As a result, new insights are gained about the structural properties of these compounds, suggesting a monoclinic symmetry (space group No. 14: P2(1)/c - C-2h(5)) induced by the cooperative orbital ordering produced by the Jahn-Teller distortion characterizing the 3d(9) Cu2+ ion. In contrast to previous studies, a significant amount of vacancies is found at halogen positions, a feature that can be likely ascribed to the synthesis technique adopted in the present study. Br atoms preferentially occupy axial positions, likely on account of reduced steric hindrance at these sites.
