M. Molinier et W. Massa, REFINEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE OF TL2ALF5.H2O, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 49, 1993, pp. 782-784
New refinement of the Tl2AlF5.H2O structure, formerly described as 'Tl
2AlF5', yielded an octahedral (AlF5)n trans chain with a bridging angl
e Al-F-Al of 177-degrees and the distances Al-F(bridge) 1.871 angstrom
, Al-F(terminal) 1.774 angstrom. Short O...F contacts of 2.73 angstrom
suggest hydrogen bonds attached to neighbouring octahedra similar to
those in isostructural Tl2MnF5.H2O and die corresponding Rb compounds.
Tl is 12-coordinated by 10 F and 2 O atoms.
