摘 要: | The bayleyite crystallizes in monoclinic space group C_2~5h-P2_1/c with a=6.499(1), b=15.235(5), c=26.513(6), β= 92.92(2)°, Z=4. Intensities of 3430 independent reflections are collected with diffractometer using MoKα radiation. The crystal structure has been solved by the Patterson method and refined by block least square refinement for positional parameters and isotropic temperature factor of non-hydrogen atoms. The final R factor is 0.038.The result of crystal structure analysis shows that the structure consists of discrete [UO_2(CO_3)_3]~(4-) ions and Mg~(2 ) cations are between slab-like units, but they are not in a slablike unit. Its crystal struture is different from that of liebigite which was determined by Appleman. Complexes and cations between slab-like units and in a slab-like unit are connected by hydrogen bonds formed by water molecules.
