A new quaternary layered transition-metal oxide, Na2Cu2TeO6, has been synthesized under air using stoichiometric(with respect to the cationic elements) mixtures of Na2CO3, CuO, and TeO2. Na2Cu2TeO6 crystallizes in the monoclinicspace group C2/m with a = 5.7059(6) Å, b = 8.6751(9) Å, c = 5.9380(6) Å, = 113.740(2), V = 269.05(5) Å3,and Z = 2, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure is composed of [Cu2TeO6] layers withthe Na atoms located in the octahedral voids between the layers. Na2Cu2TeO6 is a green nonmetallic compound,in agreement with the electronic structure calculation and electrical resistance measurement. The magneticsusceptibility shows Curie-Weiss behavior between 300 and 600 K with an effective moment of 1.85(2) B/CuIIand c = -87(6) K. A broad maximum at 160 K is interpreted as arising from short-range one-dimensionalantiferromagnetic correlations. With the aid of the technique of magnetic dimers, the short-range order was analyzedin terms of an alternating chain model, with the surprising result that the stronger intrachain coupling involves asuper-superexchange pathway with a Cu-Cu separation of >5 Å. The J2/J1 ratio within the alternating chain refinedto 0.10(1), and the spin gap is estimated to be 127 K.
