O. Schrandt et H. Mullerbuschbaum, K-3(VO4)(2) - ON KCA10V7O28( AT AN DEFICIENT CA2+ POINT POSITION IN CA), Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(4), 1996, pp. 473-476
Single crystals of KCa10V7O28 have been prepared by crystallization fr
om flux. The yellow-green crystals show rhombohedral symmetry (trigona
l space group C-3v(6)-R3c, a = 10.830(1), c = 37.860(1) Angstrom, Z =
6). The differences of the crystal chemistry are discussed with respec
t to the isotypic compound Ca-3(VO4)(2). K+ replaces exclusively Ca2ions at one deficient point position.
