]. The crystal structure of Ba2Cu(IO3)6 features isolated [Cu(IO3)6]4− anionic clusters separated by Ba2+ cations. The experimental powder diffraction pattern matches well with the simulated pattern derived from the single crystal data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
