“…The oxygen saturated phase of tetragonal symmetry [425] has a rather high copper valence {BaLa4CusO]3.16; P4/m; 864.75(1), 385.94(1)} and the oxygen content decreases only slightly (-0.2 < w < 0.16) with tempera- ; e -BaLa4CusOl 3 [426] ture increasing up to 1015~ at ambient oxygen pressure [426]. At low oxygen partial pressures and high temperatures, the oxygen content can be varied between --0.5<w<0.16 without a bulk decomposition into Cu and La, Ba oxides [426]. However, when the oxygen content is varied in contact with a hydrogen-containing atmosphere at temperatures lower than 400~ the oxygen content can be further reduced (to w=-2.0) upon formation of structural variants with, inter alia, linear Cu(I) coordinations in the still intact matrix of metal atoms [426,427], e.g., BaLa4Cu5012 {P2/m; 890.1(2), 377.1(2), 869.1(2), 88.60(2)}.…”
