Crystal structure of magnesium selenate hepta-hydrate, MgSeO4·7H2O, from neutron time-of-flight data.


ABSTRACT: MgSeO4·7H2O is isostructural with the analogous sulfate, MgSO4·7H2O, consisting of isolated [Mg(H2O)6](2+) octa-hedra and [SeO4](2-) tetra-hedra, linked by O-H?O hydrogen bonds, with a single inter-stitial lattice water mol-ecule. As in the sulfate, the [Mg(H2O)6](2+) coordination octa-hedron is elongated along one axis due to the tetra-hedral coordination of the two apical water mol-ecules; these have Mg-O distances of ?2.10?Å, whereas the remaining four trigonally coordinated water mol-ecules have Mg-O distances of ?2.05?Å. The mean Se-O bond length is 1.641?Å and is in excellent agreement with other selenates. The unit-cell volume of MgSeO4·7H2O at 10?K is 4.1% larger than that of the sulfate at 2?K, although this is not uniform; the greater part of the expansion is along the a axis of the crystal.
