| Abstract: | The Crystal Structures of the Weberites Na2CuScF7 and Na2ZnAlF7 At single crystals of the orthorhombic weberites Na2CuScF7 (Pmnb, Z = 4) and Na2ZnAlF7 (Imma, Z = 4) X-ray structure determinations were performed. Na2CuScF7 (Na2ZnAlF7): a = 726.0 (709.2), b = 1053.4 (1009.2), c = 765.8 (733.7) pm; R1 = 0.030 (0.042) for 887 (363) observed and independent reflections. The resulting average distances of the octahedrally coordinated metal atoms are: Cu? F = 200.7 pm, Sc? F = 201.7 pm; Zn? F = 198.8 pm, Al? F = 180.1 pm. Some structural relations and the variation in the bridge angles of the corner-sharing octahedra are discussed. |
