Massimo 22, 10123 Torino, Italy Abstract The crystal structure of synthetic krautite was solved (direct methods) and refined isotrop- ically (R:0.112) in spacegroup P2, with2294 reflectionsmeasured on a single-crystaldif- fractometer,with MoKc radiation. The unit-cell parametersate: a :8.012(2), b: 15.956@, c : 6.801(2)A,P : 96.60(3)";Z :8. A strong F2r/n pseudosymmetryappears in the struc- ture, yet the averagepseudo-center is slightly shifted from the correct position l/4,0, l/4 n spacegroup Y2r/n."Ihe structureis built up by (010)layers of AsO_oand MnOu coordination polyhedra.In eachlayer, MnOu octahedrashare edges to form [0Tl chahs, which sandwich the AsOotetrahedra. Adjacent layers are related by the screwaxis and are linked by four out of twelve independenthydrogen bonds; two of them are acidic and two are donatedby water molecules. One of the latter hydrogen bonds is probably bifurcated, since the water molecule is involved in two contacts2.92arLd 3.08A long. Haidingerite (CaHAsOo'HrO) and pharma- colite (CaHAsOo. 2HzO) show similar structuresformed by layersof coordination polyhedra connectedby hydrogenbonds. For 11e5ingle-layer topology, krautite resemblespharmacolite (chain-like structure) more than haidingerite (network-like structure), since the increase of coordination number from Mn2* to Ca2* is compensatedby the increaseof water content.
