The structure of the cubic phase of a new langbeinite, K2Mn2(BeF4)(3),
has been determined at 293 K from Xray diffraction data. Differential
scanning calorimetry measurements in the temperature range 100-300 K
indicated a new phase transition at 213 K, which has been confirmed by
precession X-ray diffractograms, revealing a new type of structure di
fferent to those generally expected for the low-temperature phases of
langbeinites.
