Abstract:
Two fluorinated metal arsenates, (C(4)H(12)N(2))(1.5)[M(3)F(5)(HAsO(4))(2)(AsO(4))] (M = Fe, Ga), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and (71)Ga NMR spectroscopy. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No. 14) with a = 8.394(1) A, b = 21.992(3) A, c = 10.847(1) A, beta = 96.188(2) degrees, and Z = 4 for the Fe compound, and a = 8.398(1) A, b = 21.730(3) A, c = 10.679(1) A, beta = 95.318(2) degrees, and Z = 4 for the Ga compound. The structure consists of infinite chains of corner-sharing MX(6) (X = O, F) octahedra and dimers of edge-sharing MO(3)F(3) octahedra, which are linked into two-dimensional sheets through arsenate tetrahedra with diprotonated piperazinium cations between the sheets. Magnetic susceptibility and Mössbauer spectroscopy confirm the presence of Fe(III). The (71)Ga MAS NMR spectrum clearly shows a line shape consisting of three components, corresponding to three crystallographically distinct Ga sites.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
