    Abstract

    The structures of the Ba2InNbO6, Sr 2InNbO6 and Ca2InNbO6 "1:1" complex perovskites have been refined from neutron powder diffraction data. Both the A=Ca and Sr compounds occur at room temperature in P121/n1 (a=ap+bp, b=-ap+b p, c=2cp) perovskite-related superstructures while the A=Ba compound occurs in the Fm3̄m, a=2ap, elpasolite structure type. In the case of the A=Ca compound, an extensive Ca2[(Ca 2x/3In1-xNb x/3)Nb]O6 'solid solution' field spanning compositions between Ca4Nb2O9 and Ca 2InNbO6 in the CaO-InO3/2-NbO5/2 ternary phase diagram is shown to exist. Under the conditions of synthesis used, the 'solid solution' field stops just short of the ideal 1:1 Ca 2InNbO6 composition.
