Description:
Crystals of manganese(II) dibarium bis(hydrogenphosphate) bis(dihydrogenphosphate), MnBa2(HPO4)2(H2PO4)2, were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. The title compound is isotypic with its CdII and CaII analogues. The structure is built up of an infinite {[Mn(HPO4)2(H2PO4)2]4−} n chain running along [100], which consists of alternate MnO6 octahedra and [PO4] tetrahedra, in which the centrosymmetric MnO6 octahedra share their four equatorial O-atom corners with tetrahedral [PO3(OH)] groups and their two axial apices with tetrahedral [PO2(OH)2] groups. These chains are held together by BaO9 coordination polyhedra, developing into a three-dimensional structure. The O—H...O hydrogen bonds additionally stabilize the structural set-up. Due to the ionic radius of Mn2+ being much smaller than those of Ca2+ and Cd2+, this may imply that their adopted structure type has a great tolerance for incorporating various ions and the exploitation of more diverse compounds in the future is encouraged.
