New data on rubidium vanadium phosphate Structure determination of the disordered (V-V-P-V) compound Rb-6(V2O3)(2)(VO)(2)(PO4)(4)(HP2-xVxO7) with x similar to 0.6
E. Le Fur et al., New data on rubidium vanadium phosphate Structure determination of the disordered (V-V-P-V) compound Rb-6(V2O3)(2)(VO)(2)(PO4)(4)(HP2-xVxO7) with x similar to 0.6, INT J INORG, 3(1), 2001, pp. 9-15
Brownish crystals of Rb-6(V2O3)(2)(VO)(2)(PO4)(4)(HP2-xVxO7) were prepared
hydrothermally. The structure was solved from single crystal X-ray diffract
ion data in the non centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pmn2(1), (No.
31)a=13.5505(2) Angstrom, b=7.1407(2) Angstrom, c=14.7040(2) Angstrom. (R-1
(Fo)=0.048, wR(2)(Fo(2))=0.111). The structure of Rb-6(V2O3)(2)(VO)(2)(PO4)
(4)(HP2-xVxO7) is closely related to the previously reported M-3(V2O3)(VO)(
PO4)(2)(HPO4) (M=K+, Tl+) with a disordered occupation of the tetrahedral v
oids by VV and PY atoms. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
