Abstract

Indexed X-ray powder diffraction data are reported for the semiconducting compound Ba2Cl2Cu3O4. The structure was refined by the Rietveid technique on the basis of the space group I4/mmm. Refined unit cell dimensions are a = 5.5156(1) Å, c = 13.8221(3) Å, V = 420.49 Å3Dx = 4.74 g/cm3, F30 = 129(0.0075,30), M20 = 121, Rp = 6.58, Rwp = 8.66, and RB = 4.49.
