Abstract
Bromo-Elpasolites of formulae Cs2LiMBr6 and Cs2NaMBr6 (M = Sc, Y, La-Lu, In, V, Cr) were prepared and investigated by powder X-ray diffraction. The compounds Cs2NaMBr6 (M = Ce-Lu, Sc, Y, In) as well as Cs2LiMBr6 (M = La-Er, Y) crystallize cubic facecentered (elpasolite type of structure); Cs2NaLaBr6 and low temperature forms of Cs2NaMBr6 (M = Ce-Gd) are tetragonal. Several hexagonal crystal structure types (HT-K2LiAlF6, Cs2NaCrF6, Cs2LiGaF6) are observed for Cs2LiMBr6 (M = Tm, Yb, Lu, Sc, In, V, Cr).
