CdHgO2: an oxomercurate related to the Crednerite structure

  • 1. Inst. fuer Anorganische Chemie, Christian-Albrechts-Univ., Kiel (Germany)

Description

Single crystals of CdHgO2 were prepared by oxygen high pressure technique (600 C, 3 900 bar) and investigated by X-ray technique. It crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, space group C2h3-C2/m; a=5.933, b=3.452, c=5.875 A, β=91.26 ; Z=2. The Hg2+ ions show dumb-bell like coordination, Cd2+ an octahedral one. CdHgO2 shows strong relationship to the Crednerite structure. The orientation of the O-Hg-O dump-bells to the CdO6 octahedra layers is discussed with respect to related oxomercurates. (orig.)
