Doppelkettenstruktur von (pipzH2)[MnF2(HPO4)(H2O)](H2PO4)

By adding piperazine to a hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid solution of Manganese(III) fluoride, the fluoride phosphate (pipzH₂)MnF₂(HPO₄)(H₂O)](H₂PO₄) can be crystallized. Its structure is built by piperazinium(2+) cations, (H₂PO₄)^? anions, and an anionic double‐chain of HPO₄] tetrahedra and MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra. The structure is triclinic, space group P , Z = 2, a = 622.97(4), b = 923.46(6), c = 1183.62(7) pm, α = 98.343(6)°, β = 100.747(7)°, γ = 107.642(5)°, R = 0.0289. It is worth noting that a ferrodistortive Jahn‐Teller order is observed with MnO₃F₂(H₂O)] octahedra strongly elongated along the F–Mn–OH₂ axes perpendicular to the chain plane. The structure is stabilized by very strong hydrogen bonds.
