Talk:Perovskite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this article is incorrect the A cation is located at the corners, with the B cation surrounded by the oxygen ions.

'Inorganic chemistry' 3rd ed by A G Sharpe confirms structure as now described in the article : A in corners when O is at face centres. Rod57 (talk) 00:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merger Proposal

The following is historical as the merge seems to have been done. Rod57 (talk) 23:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I am of the opinion that the two articles "Perovskite" and "Perovskite structure" are intrinsically linked. There seems to be very little to be said about perovskite itself without going into detail about the ABO₃ structure. If this is the case then why not merge the two articles, both of which could do with a lot of attention anyway. I would appreciate the views from someone more knowledgeable than me on the subject.

I agree that they should be merged.Spute 19:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I also agree. The word perovskite is used for both a generic structure type and a specific mineral. Anybody looking for either of them is likely to be searching under the single word perovskite. A finer understanding of either of these strongly related topics only comes from understanding both uses.

I do support an idea of merging, these topics are "section" and "subsection"

I support the merger. When searching for imformation on "perovskite" it would have been usedful to have both articles under the same heading.

If the pages are merged, the "Perovskite structure" page should be the primary focus, as it is of primary interest. The formula and properties of perovskite, which are of less importance to chemists relative to the general structure, should appear below.
