Crystal growth, defect structure and magnetism of new Li3N-derived lithium nitridocobaltates.
New nitridocobaltates Li(3-x-y)Co(x)N are revealed to contain significant Li(+) vacancies (y approximately 0.45) disordered within lithium-nitrogen planes and to exist as partially delocalised spin systems as a result of increased covalency through infinite -N-(Li,Co)-N- chains.
