Abstract

The crystal structures of hydrothermally synthesized (T = 493 K, 7-9 d) rubidium gallium bis[hydrogenarsenate(V)], RbGa(HAsO 4)

2, and rubidium digallium arsenic(V) hexa[hydrogenarsenate(V)], RbGa 2 As(HAsO 4) 6, were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds have tetrahedral-octahedral framework topologies. The M + cations are located in channels of the respective framework. RbGa(HAsO 4)

2 crystallizes in the RbFe(HPO 4)

2 structure type (R c), while RbGa

2 As(HAsO

4)

6 adopts the structure type of RbAl

2 As(HAsO

4)

6 (R

c), which represents a modification of the RbFe(HPO

4)

2 structure type. In this modification, one third of the M

3+ O

6 octahedra are replaced by AsO 6 octahedra, and two thirds of the voids in the structure, which are usually filled by M + cations, remain empty to achieve charge balance.
