β¦ Synopsis
Several compounds isotypic to the mineral spiroffite were obtained as high quality single crystals via hydrothermal reactions. These materials, which have the general formula M 2 Te 3 O 8 , crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c and contain divalent transition metal ions and tellurite building blocks. Typical synthetic conditions for the preparation of these materials are 375°°C for 3-5 days in an aqueous NH 4 Cl solution. This structure type is based on slabs containing Te 2 O 6 groups joined by M cations. These Te 2 O 6 groups are made up of two edge-sharing TeO 3Ψ1 polyhedra. The metal tellurite slabs are connected to one another through tellurium(IV) atoms, which are coordinated by four oxygen atoms in a regular TeO 4 trigonal bipyramidal configuration. A detailed structural characterization via single crystal X-ray diffraction was performed on four compounds (Co 2 Te 3 O 8 :
