Abstract: A new tantalate compound KSr2Ta3O10 was synthesized by solid state reaction for the first time in the ternary system K2O SrO Ta2O5, and its single crystals were prepared using flux method. The chemical compositions, crystal structure, optical property, density and melting point of the new compound were characterized by EPMA, XRD, DTA and so on. KSr2Ta3O10 crystallizes the orthorhombic system with unit cell parameters a= 0.784 4(1) nm, b =0.777 0(1) nm, c =3.012 7(1) nm and space group P212121, Z =8. The structure may be described as treble perovskite sheets [KSr2Ta3O10]- interleaved with K+. Further, it was found that KSr2Ta3O10 has intercalation phenomenon. Na+, Li+, H+, NH4+could exchange the interlayer cations K+ of KSr2Ta3O10 , and n hexylamine also could intercalate into the place between the layers of [KSr2Ta3O10]-.
