    Abstract

    We present the results of an exploratory theoretical study of Na 3ClO in the anti-perovskite structure. The FLAPW method is used to calculate the static lattice properties, pressure equation of state, and the ferroic F lu phonon frequencies in the cubic Pm3m phase. We also compute the compression behavior of NaCl and Na 2O and find that the lattice energy of Na 3ClO at ambient pressure (static lattice) is only marginally larger than of products, in agreement with experiment. However, detailed calculations reveal M- and R-point phonon instabilities in the ideal cubic phase and suggest the existence of lower symmetry structure involving slight rotations of ONa 6 octahedra.
