"A" cation polarity control in ACuTe2O7 (A = Sr2+, Ba2+, or Pb2+).
The synthesis and characterization of ACuTe(2)O(7) (A = Sr(2+), Ba(2+), or Pb(2+)) have been carried out. Interestingly, SrCuTe(2)O(7) and PbCuTe(2)O(7) are centrosymmetric and isostructural, whereas BaCuTe(2)O(7) is noncentrosymmetric and polar. All of the materials contain [CuTe(2)O(7)](2-) layers...
