Incorporation of water into mantle compositions can have significant effects on the phase relations in the systems. Here, we synthesized an iron-rich hexagonal hydrous phase (referred to as "HH1-phase") under the high pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions of the deep lower mantle and determined the crystal structure of the HH1-phase at 79 GPa using the multigrain crystallography method. The chemical formula obtained was Fe_12.76O₁₈H_x (x ~ to 4.5) in the Fe-O-H system. To demonstrate the role of HH1-phase for water storage in multicomponent systems relevant to mantle compositions, we investigated the stability of HH1-phase in both MgO-rich pyrolitic and SiO₂-rich basaltic compositions. Our results indicate that the HH1-phase serves as major water storage in a pyrolitic composition, whereas the Al-rich CaCl₂-type δ-phase and SiO₂ phase are major water storage phases in a SiO₂-rich basaltic composition. Incorporation of considerable amounts of SiO₂, MgO, and Al₂O₃ into the HH1-phase expands its stability field from 98 GPa in the Fe-Al-O-H system to at least 108 GPa (corresponding to similar to 2,400 km depth) in the Mg-Si-Al-Fe-O-H system. Plumes of hot upwelling rock rooted at the base of the lower mantle have been proposed as a possible origin of hotspot volcanoes. The hydrous Fe-rich HH1-phase, if included into the material of upwelling plumes, will decompose on its rising to the upper part of the lower mantle and release water. Our results should provide constraints on water storage in the deep lower mantle and have implications for deep mantle dynamics.
