Synthesis and structural characterization of BaV4O9.
The new spin (1/2) V(4+) barium oxovanadate BaV(4)O(9) was synthesized and studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its room-temperature structure is monoclinic, space group P2/c. We discuss the temperature evolution of the crystal structure and thermal expansion tensor of the material between 293 and 100 K.
