Syntheses and crystal structures of TlCu(OH)SO4 and TlCu(OH)SeO4
Abstract
Single crystals of TlCu(OH)SO4 and TlCu(OH)SeO4 were prepared under hydrothermal conditions. The isotypic structures were solved by direct method strategy and Fourier summations, using single crystal X-ray data up to sinθ/λ = 0.8 Å−1 [space group P21/m (No. 11); a = 8.854(2) Å, 9.041(6) Å; b = 5.888(1) Å, 5.959(3) Å; c = 4.493(1) Å, 4.584(2) Å; β = 95.29(3)°, 94.26(2)°; Z = 2; Rw = 0.052, 0.043 for 924, 952 reflections].
The copper atoms are [4 + 2]-coordinated, the thallium atoms have an irregular seven-coordination. The anion tetrahedra are somewhat distorted with mean X – O bond lengths of 1.476 Å and 1.646 Å, respectively. The structure can be considered to be built from chains of edge-sharing CuO6 polyhedra, linked by the XO4 tetrahedra to form sheets//(100).
