Abstract

Three new mixed oxides having the nasicon structure and containing arsenic(V) as tetrahedral ion were prepared and X-ray analyzed. The stoichiometry of the three phases can be expressed by the comprehensive notation MeZr2As(3−x)PxO12 where Me stands for Na+ or K+, x equals to 0 and 1.5 when Me=Na, while x equals to 1.5 when Me=K. For two other compositions of the above series, the powder patterns were calculated on the basis of the structural data from single crystal determinations, thus permitting us to complete the characterization of the solids, with nasicon framework, deriving from MeZr2P3O12 (Me=Na+, K+) by partial (50%) or complete (100%) substitution of As for P.

Key words: nasicon, ionic conductors, phosphates, arsenates
