Crystallogenetic Systematization of Phosphates, Arsenates, and Vanadates with \([{{\text{O}}_{n}}M_{m}^{2+}]\) (M 2+ = Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Ca, Sr) Complexes of Oxo-Centered Tetrahedra
摘要
A comparative analysis of the crystal structures of the M2+ series of phosphates, arsenates, and vanadates containing complexes of oxo-centered tetrahedra (OCCs) is reported. OCCs are considered as structural subunits forming strong polycationic fragments, and the structures are described in the cation-matrix representation. We propose a systematisation of OCC types in “pure” M2+ saltoxides and in more complex compositions formed by their combinations with M3(TO4)2 salt fragments, large M+ cations, Cl– anions, H2O molecules. The systematic review contains five groups; different composition variants are reasonably related to OCC types. Oxido-salt associates and other components are differentiated (spatially separated) in almost all structures. Comparison with OCC sulfate-molybdate structures is performed, and it is shown that the fact that the anionic OCC partners ((TO4)3– or (TO4)2–) have different charges is a crucially important difference.
