Lithium manganese(II) diaquaborophosphate monohydrate

R.-C. Zhuang, X.-Y. Chen and J.-X. Mi

Abstract: The title compound, LiMn(H₂O)₂[BP₂O₈]·H₂O, is built up of an open framework of helical borophosphate ribbons interconnected by MnO₄(H₂O)₂ octahedra, forming one-dimensional channels along [001] occupied by Li⁺ cations and disordered H₂O molecules (site occupancy 0.5). The Li cations reside in two partially occupied sites [occupancies = 0.42 (3) and 0.289 (13)] near the helices.
