“…Examples of the second type of A-cation ordering, those arising from differences in the coordination preferences of A and A', belong almost exclusively to a family of compounds with stoichiometry A'A 3 M 4 O 12 (A = Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ ; A' = Na, Ca, Y, Nd, La, Th; M = Mn, Ti, Ge, Ru). Members of this family include NaCu 3 Mn 4 O 12 , CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 , CaCu 3 Ge 4 O 12 , NdCu 3 Ru 4 O 12 , and the parent compound of this structure type, NaMn 3 Mn 4 O 12 a + a + a + . − The distortion of the oxygen network in this tilt system is such that 25% of the A-site cations have a distorted cubooctahedral coordination with 12 equidistant oxygen neighbors, whereas the remaining 75% have square-planar coordination, as shown in Table .…”
