Popis: Bilayer hydrated Na 0.35 CoO 2 ·1.3H 2 O structure has re-directed superconductivity research in recent years. Here, we develop a low temperature synthesis method to prepare a novel hydrous Cs 0.2 CoO 2 ·0.63H 2 O compound in one step. The bilayer-hydrate of Cs 0.2 CoO 2 ·0.63H 2 O with a greatest interlayer spacing d =10.0(2) A among alkali cobalt oxides has been grown in crystal form. Magnetic susceptibility measurement of Cs 0.2 CoO 2 ·0.63H 2 O displays a paramagnetic behavior down to 1.9 K. With the assistance of low temperature molten CsOH solvent, crystals of Rb 0.30 CoO 2 ·0.36H 2 O and K 0.35 CoO 2 ·0.4H 2 O can be grown. The results provide the capability for preparing a novel hydrous structure and the systematic investigation of interlayer coupling effect of alkali ion insertion compounds.
