Refinement of the crystal structure of Zn-containing greifensteinite

Refinement of the crystal structure of Zn-containing greifensteinite Abstract The crystal structure of Zn-containing greifensteinite from the Pirineus Mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) was refined (R = 0.045, 562 reflections with |F| > 2σ(F)). The unit-cell parameters are a = 15.941(3) Å, b = 11.877(3) Å, c = 6.625(2) Å, β = 95.09(2)°; V = 1249.4 Å3; sp. gr. C2/c; and Z = 2. The idealized formula is [Mn(Fe2+, Zn)4]Ca2Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 · 6H2O. The mineral is isostructural with the previously studied monoclinic representatives of the roscherite group from different deposits and differs from these representatives in that it contains Zn in one of two octahedral positions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Crystallography Reports Springer Journals

Abstract

Abstract The crystal structure of Zn-containing greifensteinite from the Pirineus Mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) was refined (R = 0.045, 562 reflections with |F| > 2σ(F)). The unit-cell parameters are a = 15.941(3) Å, b = 11.877(3) Å, c = 6.625(2) Å, β = 95.09(2)°; V = 1249.4 Å3; sp. gr. C2/c; and Z = 2. The idealized formula is [Mn(Fe2+, Zn)4]Ca2Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 · 6H2O. The mineral is isostructural with the previously studied monoclinic representatives of the roscherite group from different deposits and differs from these representatives in that it contains Zn in one of two octahedral positions.
