Abstract: | The crystal structure of Cr2H2(As2O7)(As4O12) has been determined by X-ray methods using single crystal diffractometer data (1,152 reflections,R=0.054, orthorhombic,Pmmn,a=1317.7 (7),b=1124.9 (6),c=494.3 (4) pm,Z=2). The crystal structure contains both diarsenate(V) and the hitherto unknown cyclo-tetraarsenate(V)-anions. The magnetic susceptibility follows theCurie-Weiss law (=3.86±0.01 B/Cr3+, =–31 K). |
