Crystal Structure of Dimanganese(II) Zinc Bis[orthophosphate(V)] Monohydrate. -Single crystals of Mn 2Zn(PO4)2·H2O are grown under hydrothermal conditions using a mixture of ZnO, Mn, and H 3PO4 in the molar ratio of 1:3:3, resp. (autoclave, 493 K, 5 d). The compound is composed of distorted [MnO6] and [MnO 5(H2O)] octahedra, a distorted [ZnO5] square pyramid, and two regular PO4 tetrahedra (monoclinic space group P2 1/n, Z = 4, single crystal XRD). The polyhedra are connected into a framework structure with two different types of layers. One layer contains [Zn 2O8] dimers linked to PO4 tetrahedra via common edges. The other layer is more corrugated and contains [Mn 2O8(H2O)2] dimers and [MnO6] octahedra linked together by common edges. PO 4 tetrahedra link the two layer types to form channels parallel to [101]. -(ALHAKMI*, G.; ASSANI, A.; SAADI, M.; EL AMMARI, L.; Acta Crystallogr., Sect. E: Struct. Rep.
