Abstract

The new compounds M2+Zr(SeO4)3 (M2+ = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd) and Li2Zr(
XO4)3 (X = S, Se) were synthesized at 220 °C by reaction of Zr2O2(CO3)(OH)2 with hydroxides or carbonates of M / Li and the respective acids H2SeO4/H2SO4. They form crystals up to several tenths of a mm and were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The framework structures of these selenates can be deduced from that of monoclinic Fe2(SO4)3 in space group P21/n, which is characterized by two types of isolated Fe3+O6 octahedra, corner-linked with three different sulfate groups: ferric iron is substituted in 1:1 ratio by Zr4+ and M2+ as already known for isotypic MZr(SO4)3 representatives. In the case of Li2Zr(XO4)3 members, one additional lithium atom occupies a tetrahedral vacancy of the Fe2(SO4)3 architecture.
