Figure 1
The crystal structure of NaIn(CrO4)2·2H2O in views (a) along [010], in the direction of the infinite kröhnkite-type octahedral–tetrahedral [In(CrO4)2(H2O)2]− chains, and (b) along [110], allowing a suitable top view of the kröhnkite-type chains. InO4(H2O)2 octahedra are bridged by CrO4 tetrahedra. The intercalated Na+ cations (shown as spheres) are octahedrally coordinated (compare with Fig. 2). The hydrogen bonding is indicated by dashed lines and the unit cell is outlined. |
