Abstract

The ordered perovskite Sr 2 YTaO 6 , distrontium yttrium tantalum hexaoxide, has been reported as showing an unusual triclinic structure, at odds with the results from a recent group-theoretical analysis. A new investigation establishes that Sr 2 YTaO 6 and the isostructural Sr 2 YNbO 6 , distrontium yttrium niobium hexaoxide, in fact both adopt the commonly occurring monoclinic structure, with the space-group symmetry P 2 1 / n .
