Preparation of Sr7Mn4O13F2 by the topotactic reduction and subsequent fluorination of Sr7Mn4O15
The topotactic reduction and subsequent fluorination of Sr7Mn4O15 yields a phase of composition Sr7Mn4O13F2. Characterization of this phase utilizing powder neutron diffraction and F-19 NMR shows that the fluoride ions are located on a single anion site, the same crystallographic site that is vacant in the reduced intermediate Sr7Mn4O13.
