Tripuhyite, FeSbO4, revisited

Abstract: The exact nature of tripuhyite remains controversial more than 100 years after the first description of the mineral. Different stoichiometries and crystal structures (rutile or tri-rutile types) have been suggested for this Fe-Sb-oxide. To address these uncertainties, we studied tripuhyite from Tripuhy, Minas Gerais, Brazil (type material) and Falotta, Grisons, Switzerland using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy and electron microprobe analysis.Electron microprobe analyses s… Show more

“…9). The distances of first (3.06-3.08 Å ) and second metal shells (3.61-3.63 Å ) reported for several tripuhyite samples are in fact similar to those of species 2 (Berlepsch et al, 2003). However, a fit of both SbAFe and SbASb backscattering paths as in tripuhyite failed, and only Fe backscattering paths could be reliably fitted.…”

“…The detail wavelet plots of the radial distances 2.4 6 r 6 3.5 Å using the optimized Morlet parameters g = 6 and r = 1 revealed only a peak at smaller k indicative of Fe, but no peak at higher k indicative of Sb for species 2, hence the presence of Sb backscatterers can be excluded (data not shown). While one could assume that the structure of species 2 represents small clusters of an Ferich tripuhyite, based on the small coordination numbers for the second metal shell and on the prevalence of Fe neighbors, the tripuhyite samples investigated by Berlepsch et al (2003) show only a small deviation from the ideal Fe-to-Sb ratio of one (site occupancy factor, SOF, of Sb: 0.47-0.53). Furthermore, our attempts to synthesize an antimonate with less Sb (SOF < 0.4) failed and led to the precipitation of Fe and Sb oxides as separate phases.…”

“…The diffraction pattern of the VFeSbO 6 recorded after the final heating stage all mixtures of reagents was identical (Fig. 1d) and revealed a set of diffraction lines very similar to various diffraction patterns of phases with the rutile-type structure [26][27][28][29]. During the next stage of our research diffraction pattern of VFeSbO 6 was indexed in order to confirm the system that the compound crystallises in and determine parameters of the unit cell.…”

“…The similarity of both the powder diffraction patterns and the parameters of the unit cell and identical Miller indices (h k l) to those typical for the rutile-type of structure [26][27][28][29] indicate a possible type of structure for the new phase. This assumption was confirmed by the similarity of the IR spectra which are presented in the many papers [30][31][32].…”
