contains uranyl-sulfate chains that are linked into sheets by
M1O(2)(H2O)(4 )and M2O(2)(H2O)(4) octahedra, where Mg is a
dominant cation over Zn at both sites. The structure is well
known and has already been described for other members of the
svornostite group; the fundamental building unit - an infinite
[(UO2)(SO4)(2)(H2O)](2-) chain - is common in several uranyl
minerals and synthetic compounds. Synthetic
"magnesiorietveldite" was obtained after treatment of a
specimen containing pitchblende with sulfuric acid. Electron
microprobe analyses yielded the empirical formula
(Mg0.63Zn0.22Cu0.09Fe0.05)(& sum;0.99)(UO2)(SO4)2 &
centerdot;5H(2)O, confirming the predominance of Mg over the
other divalent cations. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy
confirmed the presence of structurally non-equivalent molecular
H2O and sulfate tetrahedra. We append an extensive discussion
on the role of molecular H2O in the svornostite-group of
minerals based on the bond-valence approach.">
The new synthetic counterpart of a potentially new member of the svornostite group of minerals, "magnesiorietveldite", ideally Mg(UO2)(SO4)(2)(H2O)(5), is orthorhombic, space group Pmn2(1), a = 12.7950(9), b = 8.3288(4), c = 11.2962(4) & Aring;, V = 1203.80(11) & Aring;(3) and Z = 2. The crystal structure (R-1 = 0.0168 for 3113 I > 3 sigma I reflections) contains uranyl-sulfate chains that are linked into sheets by M1O(2)(H2O)(4 )and M2O(2)(H2O)(4) octahedra, where Mg is a dominant cation over Zn at both sites.
