ChemInform Abstract
The quality of refinement that my be obtained from synchrotron X-ray data for a pure, well crystalline phase is demonstrated by determination of the crystal structure of the title compound. MnPO4·H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, Z=4. The structure consists of a network of MnO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra linked together by vertex sharing into a continuous three-dimensional array. trans-Mn-O-Mn chains run parallel to the (101) direction, the oxygen atom of the water molecule being at the vertex of two adjacent MnO6 octahedra.
