S. Munchau et H. Mullerbuschbaum, ON A CADMIUM COPPER PHOSPHATE-CONTAINING SINGLE CAPPED TRIGONAL CDO6 PRISM-NETS - CD1.35CU1.65(PO4)(2), Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(2), 1996, pp. 229-232
Single crystals of Cd1.35Cu1.65(PO4)(2) have been prepared by solid st
ate reactions below the melting point of the starting compounds. The l
ight green crystals crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, space group
C-2h(5)-P2(1)/c, a = 9.062(2), b = 11.669(2), c = 5.950(2) Angstrom, b
eta = 97.88(2)degrees, Z = 4. Cd1.35Cu1.65(PO4)(2) shows relationship
to the mineral graftonite. The crystal structure is characterized by n
ets of corner connected Cd2O12 polyhedra. One point position is statis
tically occupied by Cd2+ and CU2+ ions.
