Redetermination of the cubic struvite analogue Cs[Mg(OH(2))(6)](AsO(4)).

ABSTRACT: In contrast to the previous refinement from photographic data [Ferrari et al. (1955 ?). Gazz. Chim. Ital.84, 169-174], the present redetermination of the title compound, caesium hexa-aqua-magnesium arsenate(V), revealed the Cs atom to be on Wyckoff position 4d instead of Wyckoff position 4b of space group F3m. The structure can be derived from the halite structure. The centres of the complex [Mg(OH(2))(6)] octa-hedra and the AsO(4) tetra-hedra (both with 3m symmetry) are on the respective Na and Cl positions. The building units are connected to each other by O-H?O hydrogen bonds. The Cs(+) cations (3m symmetry) are located in the voids of this arrangement and exhibit a regular cubocta-hedral 12-coordination to the O atoms of the water mol-ecules. The O atom bonded to As has 2mm site symmetry (Wyckoff position 24f) and the water-mol-ecule O atom has m site symmetry (Wyckoff position 48h).

Project description:The crystal structure of brackebuschite, ideally Pb2Mn(3+)(VO4)2(OH) [dilead(II) manganese(III) vanadate(V) hydroxide], was redetermined based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of a natural sample from the type locality Sierra de Cordoba, Argentina. Improving on previous results, anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms were refined and the H atom located, obtaining a significant improvement of accuracy and an unambiguous hydrogen-bonding scheme. Brackebuschite belongs to the brackebuschite group of minerals with general formula A 2 M(T1O4)(T2O4)(OH, H2O), with A = Pb(2+), Ba, Ca, Sr; M = Cu(2+), Zn, Fe(2+), Fe(3+), Mn(3+), Al; T1 = As(5+), P, V(5+); and T2 = As(5+), P, V(5+), S(6+). The crystal structure of brackebuschite is based on a cubic closest-packed array of O and Pb atoms with infinite chains of edge-sharing [Mn(3+)O6] octa-hedra located about inversion centres and decorated by two unique VO4 tetra-hedra (each located on a special position 2e, site symmetry m). One type of VO4 tetra-hedra is linked with the (1) ∞[MnO4/2O2/1] chain by one common vertex, alternating with H atoms along the chain, while the other type of VO4 tetra-hedra link two adjacent octa-hedra by sharing two vertices with them and thereby participating in the formation of a three-membered Mn2V ring between the central atoms. The (1) ∞[Mn(3+)(VO4)2OH] chains run parallel to [010] and are held together by two types of irregular [PbO x ] polyhedra (x = 8, 11), both located on special position 2e (site symmetry m). The magnitude of the libration component of the O atoms of the (1) ∞[Mn(3+)(VO4)2OH] chain increases linearly with the distance from the centerline of the chain, indicating a significant twisting to and fro of the chain along [010]. The hy-droxy group bridges one Pb(2+) cation with two Mn(3+) cations and forms an almost linear hydrogen bond with a vanadate group of a neighbouring chain. The O⋯O distance of this inter-action determined from the structure refinement agrees well with Raman spectroscopic data.
