Abstract
The compound CrVO4-I is monoclinic (space group C2/m) with lattice par ameters: a = 9.765(1)Angstrom, b = 8.818(3)Angstrom, c = 6.8224(9)Angs trom, beta = 107.62(1)degrees and Z = 8. The crystal structure has bee n solved and refined by analogy with the isomorphous compound InVO4(-) I from X-ray powder diffraction data (R(F) = 0.061 for 695 reflections ). The structure consists of an infinite network of Cr4O16 clusters of four edge-sharing CrO6 octahedra linked to the other clusters by VO4 tetrahedra. A comparison between the structures of CrVO4-I, InVO4-I an d CrVO4 orthorhombic form (CrVO4-III) is reported.
