Abstract

The synthesis and structural characterization of a new type of homologous series of lanthanum cuprates, with the general formula La_4+4nCu_8+8nO_14+8n, is reported. The n=2 and n=3 members, La₂Cu₂O₅ and La₈Cu₇O₁₉, synthesized in bulk, are stable over very narrow temperature ranges in air and oxygen. Higher members (n > 3) have been observed by electron microscopy. The crystal structure of La₂Cu₂O₅ consists of thin slabs of La₂CuO₄ sandwiched between CuO planes of complex low-dimensional geometry. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities of La₂Cu₂O₅ and La₈Cu₇O₁₉ are characteristic of low-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets with a remarkably low exchange coupling energy.
