Abstract

Two new structurally related cesium manganese vanadates have been synthesized by a high-temperature (580 °C) hydrothermal synthetic method utilizing halide brine mineralizers. Both structures Cs6Mn(H2O)2(VO3)8 (I) and Cs5KMn(H2O)2(VO3)8 (II) are isostructural crystallizing in the tetragonal space group P4/mnc. The first structure, Cs6Mn(H2O)2(VO3)8 (I) has unit cell dimensions of a = 13.6830(4) Å, c = 8.6476(3) Å and the second structure, Cs5KMn(H2O)2(VO3)8 (II), has unit cell dimensions of a = 13.5015(4) Å, c = 8.5372(3) Å. The structures are built from a manganese vanadate chain, which consists of [Mn(H2O)2O4] units that are coordinated to one another by a unique sinusoidal vanadate chain, (VO3)n. Both structures have well-ordered alkali metal atoms, with the potassium atoms of II exhibiting preferential site occupancy. Both compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy, to identify the characteristic O–H and V–O modes.

Graphical Abstract

Crystals of Cs6Mn(H2O)2(VO3)8 and Cs5KMn(H2O)2(VO3)8 were synthesized from hydrothermal brines and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing preferential, ordered site substitution of the alkali metals.
