Introduction
In recent years, there has been a raising order of interest in the
preparation and characterization of complex ceramic oxides, with the
general formula A2MM'06+X; where A = Ba, Sr and Ca; M = Y and rare
earths and M' = Sb, Sn, Nb, Zr, Hf and Ta. The compounds with general
formula Ba2MM'O6+x crystallize in the perovskite structure. Some of the
compounds with the formula Sr2MM'O6+x are also reported. They also
possess the perovskite structure. Some of the compounds reported in
these system are; Sr2GaNbO6, Sr2GaTaO6, Sr2AINbO6, Sr2AITaO6,
Ca2GaNbO6, Ca2GaTa06l Ca2AINbO6, Ca2AITaO6, Ba2DySnO55,
Ba2EuNbO6, Ba2ErSbO6, YBa2NbO6, Ba2DySbO6, Ba2PrHfO55 (J Koshy,

perovskite oxides for high Tc superconductor substrates; Journal of
Materials Research, volume-5, Number-10 pages 2160-2164 year 1990).
These compounds were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction
technique or by using an exothermic combustion of a polymeric precursor
at a relatively low temperature. (J Koshy, J Kurian, R Jose, A M John, P

J Koshy; Synthesis and rapid densification of nanoparticles of Barium
Praseodymium Hafnium Oxide; a complex perovskite; Journal of
Nanoparticle research, volume-3 year 2001 pages 413-417). However in
case of Ca2MM'O6+x compounds apart from the perovskite structure, a
few cases of meta stable pyrochlore structures were also reported. These
meta stable pyrochlores transformed into perovskite structures at about
650-700°C. (J Koshy, J Kurian, R Jose, Asha M John, P K Sajith, J
James, S P Pai and R Pinto "Novel ceramic substrate for high Tc
superconductors" Bulletin of Material Science, vol. 22, pp243-249 (1999);

John and A D Damodaran; Novel ceramic substrate for Bi-cuperate
superconductors; US patent No. 5,741,747 dated April 21, (1998)). Some
of the magnesium bearing ceramic oxides reported for possible use in
electronic ceramic applications are Sr2MgMoO6, La2MgTiO6, Gd2MgTiO6,
Gd2MgZr06 and La2MgGeO6, (C D Bradle and V J Fratello, preparation of
perovskite oxides for high Tc superconductor substrates; journal of
Materials Research, volume-5, Number-10, pages-2160-2164 year 1990;).
Most of the above mentioned compounds had a perovskite structure.
However some of the Magnesium bearing compounds that were reported
are Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 and PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 and Bi2M'2/3M"4/3O7 where M' =
Zn, Mg, Ni Sc, In and Cu and M" = Nb and Ta (M valant and P K Davis;
Synthesis and dielectric properties of pyrochlore solid solutions in the
Bi203-ZnO-Nb2O5-TiO2 system, Journal of Materila Science 34 (1999)
5437-5442). Some of these magnesium-bearing compounds had
pyrochlore structures. However compounds of the type Mg2MM'O6+x,
either with perovskite structure or pyrochlore structure were not reported.
Pyrochlore structures are the structures with the general formula
A2B2O7, where A atoms are 8 coordinated ad B atoms are 6 coordinated
with one extra O-atom. In recent years many pyrochlore compounds with
more complicated composition (AA')2(BB)2O7 have been synthesized. For
the possibility of existence of any pyrochlore compound, there are two
criteria: (1) the ratio of the ionic radius of the cation at the A site to that at
the B site must be between 1.46 and 1.80 and (2) the chemical valencies
of the various ions must made the compound neutral. (Y Xuan, R Liu and
Y Q Jia; Synthesis of a new series of compounds RE2Co2/3Nb4/3O7 and
stability field diagram of RE2B2/3'B4/3"O7 pyrochlore compounds; Materials
Chemistry and Physics, vol-53, pp256-261 (1998)). Pyrochlore
compounds have been extensively studied over the past because of their
specific properties and consequent technological applications. Some of
the very important properties of members of this group of compounds are:
low thermal conductivity, high melting point, high thermal expansion
coefficient, high stability. They can be used in Gas turbines and diesel
engines as thermal barrier coatings. Some of the pyrochlore compounds
exhibit high Ionic conductivity and can be used as electrodes for Fuel
cells, egs, Gd2TiMoO7+x; Gd2TiO7+x (P Holtappels, F W Poulsen and M
Mogensen; Electrical conductivities and chemical stabilities of mixed
conducting pyrochlores for Solid oxide fuel cell applications; Solid State
Ionics, vol. 135, pp 675-679 (2000)). Pyrochlore oxides also exhibit
catalytic properties and are used as solid photocatalysts (eg. Bi2MNbO7,
M-AI, Ga, In) (Zhigang Zou, Jinhua Ye and Hironori Arakawa, Preparation,
structural and optical properties of a new class of compounds, Bi2MNbO7
(M = Al, Ga In); Materials Science and Engineering vol. B79, pp83-85
(2001)), oxidation catalysts and as gas monitoring sensors. They have
the ability to accommodate defects and act as possible host for
radioactive wastes, and as host for fluorescence centers. Some of the
pyrochlore materials also show superconductivity and magnetic
properties, including Colossal Magneto resistant behavior; e.g. Sm2Ti2O7,
La2Zr2O7, Nd2Zr2O7, La07Bao.3MnO3, (L Li, Y W Song, H Xiong, Y Q Jia, N
Matsushita and Y Xuan; Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic
properties of Sm2.xCox Ti2.YNby07 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4); Materials Chemistry ad
Physics, vol-9273, pp. 1-7 (2002); K Koteswara Rao, Taqveem Banu, M
Vital, G Y S K Swamy and K Ravi Kumar; Preparation and
characterization of bulk and nanoparticles of La2Zr2O7 and Nd2Zr207 by
sol-gel method; Materials letters; vol. 54, pp 205-210 (2002)).
Pyrochlores have been used in active and passive electronic
applications. They are recently recognized as potential candidates for
temperature stable, low loss, high permitivity dielectric applications and in
temperature stable and temperature compensating dielectrics; microwave
dielectrics and as co-fired microwave components (P Holtappels, F W
Poulsen and M Mogensen; Electrical conductivities and chemical
stabilities of mixed conducting pyrochlores for SOFC applications,; Solid
State Ionics, vol. 135, pp 675-679 (2000)).
However no compound of the formula Mg2MM'O6+x (where -
0.5 ions; and M' = Sb, Sn, Zr, & Ta) has been reported till now.
