T1Sr2CuOs_ 6, is reported to be either tetragonal (Kim
et al.,
1989) or orthor-
hombic
(Pmmm)
(Ganguli and Subramanian, 1991), depending on the oxygen
content. The latter compound can be stabilized by partial substitution of T1 by Pb
and becomes superconducting when Sr is partly replaced by La or a rare-earth
element (Subramanian, 1990). Upon substituting T1 by Pb, the oxygen content of
oxygen-deficient
(Tll_xPbx)Sr2Cu05_ 6
is increased and the compound undergoes
a structural transformation from the orthorhombic to the tetragonal modification
at x- 0.12 (Kaneko
et al.,
1991). Ohshima
et al.
(1993) found the cell to be
orthorhombic for 6- 0.69, but tetragonal for 6 _< 0.42 (x- 0.5). A super-
structure with doubling of the b-parameter and an ordered arrangement of
oxygen vacancies in the CuO2 layer was reported for T1Sr2CuO4.515 (Ohshima
et al.,
1994).
A superconducting (Pb,Cu)-1201 compound, with nominal composition
Pbo.6SrLaCul.5Oy (T c -- 28 K), was first reported by Adachi
et al.
(1990b). Two
partly occupied cation sites in the
additional
layer were considered in the
structural refinement on Pb0.sSrLaCul.5Os+ 6
((Pbo.sCuo.5)(Sro.sLao.5)2Cu05+6,
Pb in l(a) 0 0 0 and Cu in 4(l) 0.104 0 0, occupancy 0.5 and 0.125) (Khasanova
et al.,
1996a). In addition, distinct sites were refined for La and Sr, and the O site
in the
bridging
layers was split.
The Ga-1201 compounds known so far are not superconducting and
contain a mixture of Sr and La (or rare-earth elements) in the
bridging
layers.
Their structures are orthorhombic because of the arrangement of the GaO4
tetrahedra in chains.
HgBa2CuO4.1o, with T c -94 K, crystallizes in the tetragonal space group
P4/mmm
(Putilin
et al.,
1993a). In Wagner
et al.
(1993) partial substitution of rig
by Cu (7 at.%) was proposed to be accompanied by the presence of extra O sites
(4(i) 0 1 0.043 and l(c) 89 1 0, occupancy 0.09 and 0.059). According to
Alexandre
et al.
(1995), the Cu content on the Hg site cannot exceed 10 at.%.
Like many other high-T c superconducting cuprates, HgBa2CuO4+ 6 can be over-
doped, the compound becoming nonsuperconducting for 6- 0.23 (Loureiro
et
al.,
1995).
The crystal structure of CSr2CuO5 was first refined in space group
P4/mmm
(Babu
et al.,
1991). Miyazaki
et al.
(1992a) used an 8-fold supercell
to account for an ordered arrangement of mutually perpendicular CO3 triangular
groups. Partial substitution of Sr by Ba (25 at.%) was first reported by Armstrong
and Edwards (1992), who refined the average structure. A 2-fold supercell
(P4/mbm, ~/2a, c)
was adopted for the refinement of the structure of
CSrBaCuOs+ 6 by Chaillout
et al.
(1992) and Miyazaki
et al.
(1993). A similar
2-fold supercell, but space group P4212 was proposed for Co.89Ba1.11Sro.89-
Cu1.1104.99 (Izumi
et al.,
1992). Superconductivity (T c -- 26 K) was first reported
for the compound Co.9Bal.lSro.9CUl.lO4.9+6, prepared under 5 MPa 02 (Kinoshita
and Yamada, 1992a).
Carbon-based 1201 compounds with 50% of the carbon atoms substituted
by, for example, T1, Pb, Bi, Hg, Mo, Cr, and/or V crystallize with a 2-fold
