Abstract
The crystal structure of zharchikhite, AlF(OH)2, from the Zharchikhinskoe deposit (Buryatia, Russia) is solved here using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mineral is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 5.1788 (4), b = 7.8386 (4), c = 5.1624 (4) Å, β = 116.276 (10)°, V = 187.91 (3) Å3 and Z = 4. Zharchikhite demonstrates a novel structure type roughly related to the α-PbO2 structure type and different from other compounds of the Al-F-OH system. The crystal structure of zharchikhite is based on the octahedral pseudoframework built from zigzag chains of edge-sharing AlF2(OH)4 octahedra; adjacent chains are linked via F vertices and the pseudoframework contains wide channels.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
