Relationship of the Chemical Bonding Topology of High Critical Temperature Copper Oxide Superconductors to that of the Chevrel Phases and the Ternary Lanthanide Rhodium Borides

摘要

The high critical temperature copper oxide superconductors exhibit chemical bonding topologies closely related to those of the ternary molybdenum chalcogenides and ternary lanthanide rhodium borides in which the conducting skeleton is constructed from metal-oxygen-metal rather than direct metal metal bonds and antiferromagnetic metal-metal interactions occur rather than direct metal metal bonding.
