Abstract:A new iron phosphate, rubidium copper(II) iron(III) bis(phosphate), RbCuFe(PO4)2, has been synthesized as single crystals by the flux method. This compound is isostructural with KCuFe(PO4)2 [Badri et al. (2011 ▶), J. Solid State Chem.
184, 937–944]. Its structure is built up from Cu2O8 units of edge-sharing CuO5 polyhedra, interconnected by FeO6 octahedra through common corners to form undulating chains that extend infinitely along the [011] and [01-1] directions. The linkage of such chains is ensured by th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
