KCaF(CO3) from X-ray powder data

Abstract: Potassium calcium fluoride carbonate, KCaF(CO3), has been synthesized and its structure solved from X-ray powder diffraction data. The K, Ca, F and C atoms lie at sites with {\overline6}m2 imposed symmetry and the unique O atom has imposed mm site symmetry. The compound consists of Ca-F-Ca chains parallel to the c axis and planar CO3 groups perpendicular to the c axis, the corners of the hexagonal cell being occupied by K+ ions. The compound is not a solid solution, since the structure differs from those of both KF and CaCO3.
