Valence of Cu in Na1.58CuO2. (a) Refined modulation functions; (b) modulation functions from Na1.6CuO2. Valences have been computed by the bond-valence method with the parameter R0[Cu—O] = 1.7133 Å obtained as the average of the parameters of Cu2+ and Cu3+ according to Brese & O'Keeffe (1991). Full and dashed lines apply to the modulated and basic structures, respectively. |
