The B-site-ordered double-perovskite Pb2NiMoO6was prepared at high pressure and high temperature. The structural analysis of synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data shows that Pb2NiMoO6crystallizes into monoclinic symmetry with the space groupPc(no. 7), where the Ni and Mo ions are ordered in a rock-salt-type manner. The magnetic and specific heat characterizations reveal unusual two-step antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions at 18 and 26 K for Pb2NiMoO6. The X-ray absorption spectra at the Ni-L2,3edge and the Mo-L3edge and the high-resolution partial fluorescence yield at the Pb-L3edge indicate Pb2+2Ni2+Mo6+O6valence states. Although in A2NiMoO6(A = Sr2+, Pb2+, and Ba2+), the size of the A cation increases gradually from Sr2+(1.44 Å) to Pb2+(1.49 Å) to Ba2+(1.61 Å), Pb2NiMoO6exhibits much lower symmetry structure and AFM transition temperature,TN, compared with Sr2NiMoO6(I4/m,TN= 81 K) and Ba2NiMoO6(Fm3̅m,TN= 64 K), which is attributed to the large distortion of NiO6and MoO6octahedra induced by the lone pair electron effect of Pb2+with a 6s2electronic configuration. Moreover, symmetry-breaking phase transition from a high-temperature centrosymmetric, cubicFm3̅mphase to a low-temperature non-centrosymmetric, monoclinicPcphase was observed at 393–413 K in Pb2NiMoO6.
