Summary

The crystal structure of synthetic Cu3SeO4(OH)4 was determined by single crystal X-ray methods:a=8.382 (2) Å,b=6.087 (1) Å,c=12.285 (2) Å,V=626.8 Å3,Z=4, space group Pnma,R=0.026,R w =0.021 for 1255 independent reflections (sin ϑ/λ ⩽0.8 Å−1). The crystal structure is isotypic to that of the mineral antlerite, Cu3SO4(OH)4. The copper atoms are Jahn-Teller distorted with Cu[4+2]O6 polyhedra forming triple chains along [010]. These chains are linked via SeO4 tetrahedra and weak hydrogen bonds to a framework structure.

Zusammenfassung

Die Kristallstruktur von synthetischem Cu3SeO4(OH)4 wurde mittels Einkristall-Röntgenmethoden ermittelt:a=8.382 (2) Å,b=6.087 (1) Å,c=12.285 (2) Å,V=626.8 Å3,Z=4, Raumgruppe Pnma,R=0.026,R w =0.021 für 1255 unabhängige Reflexe (sin ϑ/λ ⩽0.8 Å−1). Die Kristallstruktur ist isotyp mit der des Minerals Antlerit, Cu3SO4(OH)4. Die Kupferatome sind Jahn-Teller-verzerrt, die Cu[4+2]O6 Polyeder bilden Dreierketten entlang [010]. Diese Ketten sind über SeO4-Tetraeder und schwache Wasserstoffbrücken zu einer Gerüststruktur verbunden.
