  • 1. Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin, 38 - Grenoble (France)

Description

The structure of LiUO2AsO4.4D2O has been determined in space group P4/n with a = 7.0969(1), c = 9.1903(2) A and Z = 2 from a powder neutron diffraction study at 294 K. 258 reflections were refined to an R factor on intensities of 3.8%. The water molecules are arranged in a two-dimensional array alternating with UO22+ and AsO43- ions. The Li+ ions are tetrahedrally coordinated to the O atoms of the water molecules and play an important role in binding the layers together. The structural relationship with related compounds is discussed. (Auth.)
