Title: Crystal structure of dicaesium strontium hexacyanidoferrate(II), Cs 2 Sr[Fe(CN) 6 ], from laboratory X-ray powder data

Abstract

Ferrocyanides with general formula A I x B II y [Fe(CN) 6 ], where A and B are cations, are thought to accept many substitutions on the A and B positions. In this communication, the synthesis and crystal structure of Cs 2 Sr[Fe(CN) 6 ] are reported. The latter was obtained from K 2 Ba[Fe(CN) 6 ] particles, put in contact with caesium and strontium ions. Hence, a simultaneous ion-exchange mechanism (Cs for K, Sr for Ba) occurs to yield Cs 2 Sr[Fe(CN) 6 ]. The synthesis protocol shows that K 2 BaFe(CN) 6 particles can be used for the simultaneous trapping of radioactive caesium and strontium nuclides in water streams. Cs 2 Sr[Fe(CN) 6 ] adopts the cryolite structure type and is isotypic with the known compound Cs 2 Na[Mn(CN) 6 ] [dicaesium sodium hexacyanidomanganate(III)]. The octahedrally coordinated Sr and Fe sites both are located on inversion centres, and the eightfold-coordinated Cs site on a general position.
