IT is widely believed that oxygen atoms may be extracted at random from the lattices of metallic oxides, and X-ray powder photographs have suggested that little or no modification of the structure of the original stoichiometric substance occurs. In particular, evidence has been adduced that the perovskite lattice can persist between the limitsABO3—ABO2.5, provided that the six co-ordinated ionBis one of the metals, titanium, vanadium, cobalt or iron1. In order to evaluate this proposal, we are examining the crystal structures of ordered, oxygen-deficient compounds in which the ionic radii comply with the rules enunciated by Goldschmidt2for the perovskite structure. K2Ti2O5was recently reported by Schmitz-Dumont and Reckhard3to have a large unit cell of low symmetry, and this could, perhaps, be due to the regular omission of some of the oxygens from a perovskite lattice. We now wish to report briefly that a complete X-ray structure determination does not support this view.
