Abstract
Two new diphosphates, Cd(5)M(2)(III) (P2O7)(4) with M = V, Fe, isotypi c with (Fe5Fe2III)-Fe-II(P2O7)(4), have been synthesized. They crystal lize in the space group C222(1) with a similar to 8.8 Angstrom, b simi lar to 9.9 Angstrom, and c similar to 24.1 Angstrom. The single crysta l structure determination of the V phase and the Mossbauer spectroscop y study of the Fe phase, show that the cationic distribution is differ ent from that observed in (Fe5Fe2III)-Fe-II(P2O7)(4), i.e., V(III) or Fe(III) is located in two kinds of sites instead of one kind of site. A detailed analysis of this structure shows that its octahedral layers consist of rock salt type ribbons, themselves built up from infinite chains of edge-sharing octahedra, interconnected through trioctahedral units of edge-sharing octahedra. On the basis of this description, th e different cationic distribution compared to the pure Fe phase is the n explained by the mismatch between infinite octahedral chains and tri octahedral units, due to the larger size of Cd(II) compared to Fe(II).
