Room temperature high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction (HRSXRD) measurements were carried out on polycrystalline samples of BiMn(7)O(12) and LaMn(7)O(12). Rietveld refinements of HRSXRD data describe the crystal structures of both compounds in the monoclinic space group I2/m. The maximum entropy method-based pattern fitting (MPF) method inversion of HRSXRD data was utilized to obtain the spatial electron density (ED) distribution. Obtained results show clear differences in ED distributions around Mn-O bonds between isomorphic BiMn(7)O(12) and LaMn(7)O(12). The scheme of ED distributions in BiMn(7)O(12) indicates the presence of orbital ordering in the MnO(2) planar arrangement that appears as prominent features in very distorted MnO(12) and MnO(6) polyhedrons in the perovskite related structure of BiMn(3)Mn(4)O(12).
室温高分辨率同步辐射 X 射线衍射 (HRSXRD) 测量在多晶 BiMn(7)O(12) 和 LaMn(7)O(12) 样品上进行。HRSXRD 数据的 Rietveld 精修描述了这两种化合物在单斜空间群 I2/m 中的晶体结构。基于最大熵法的图谱拟合 (MPF) 方法反转 HRSXRD 数据,以获得空间电子密度 (ED) 分布。得到的结果表明,同晶的 BiMn(7)O(12) 和 LaMn(7)O(12) 之间 Mn-O 键周围的 ED 分布存在明显差异。BiMn(7)O(12) 的 ED 分布方案表明,MnO(2) 平面排列中存在轨道有序,这在非常扭曲的 MnO(12) 和 MnO(6) 多面体中表现为明显特征,这些多面体与[BiMn(3)](A 位)[Mn(4)](B 位)O(12) 的钙钛矿相关结构有关。
