Title: Synthesis and crystal structure of the new zinc-magnesium vanadium(IV) phosphate hydrate Mg{sub (1{minus}x)}Zn{sub x}(VOPO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center{underscore}dot}4H{sub 2}O (x {approximately} 0.28)

Journal Article · · Materials Research Bulletin

The hydrothermal synthesis and the single-crystal structure of Mg{sub (1{minus}x)}Zn{sub x}(VOPO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center{underscore}dot}4H{sub 2}O (x {approximately} 0.28) are described. The structure of Mg{sub (1{minus}x)}Zn{sub x}(VOPO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center{underscore}dot}4H{sub 2}O consists of infinite (VOPO{sub 4}) layers, built from VO{sub 5} pyramids and PO{sub 4} tetrahedra, interconnected via Mg{sub (1{minus}x)}Zn{sub x}O{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 4} octahedra. It belongs in the triclinic space group P1 with parameters a = 6.251(4), b = 6.258(3), c = 8.065(2) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 112.85(2){degree}, {beta} = 112.86(2){degree}, and {gamma} = 89.93(3){degree}, V = 263.7(2) {angstrom}{sup 3}, R{sub 1} = 0.0257, and wR{sub 2} = 0.0638 for 1985 reflections (F{sup 2} {ge} 4{sigma}(F{sup 2})).
