Abstract
The morphology and crystallography of solution-grown crystals of K2Mn2(SO4) (3) having a cubic structure with the space group P2(1)3 have been examined . The crystals are a single crystal having a pentagonal-dodecahedral shape. The faces are nonsymmetrical pentagons with a shape similar to one another . The surface orientation deviates from {2 1 0} by about 1.5 degrees and is indexed as {210.06}. The origin of the peculiar morphology has been discus sed. O 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
