Caesium chromium(III) diarsenate(V), CsCrAs2O7, was prepared by solid-state reactions. The title structure consists of isolated CrO6 octahedra and As2O7 diarsenate groups, sharing corners to build up a three-dimensional [CrAs2O7]− anionic framework. In this framework, channels extending parallel to [001] are present in which the ten-coordinate Cs+ ions reside. CsCrAs2O7 is isotypic with the monoclinic AIMIIIX2O7 (AI = alkali metal; MIII = Al, Cr, Fe; X = As, P) type I family of compounds crystallizing in the P21/c.

1. Chemical context
In recent years, inorganic metal phosphates and arsenates with formula AIMIIIX2O7 (AI = alkali metal; MIII = Al, Cr, Fe; X = As, P) have been part of intensive research activities, with crystals grown either from high-temperature solid-state reactions or under aqueous solution conditions. The crystal chemistry of these compounds with X2O7 groups reveals a large structural variety accompanied in some cases by interesting magnetic, electric, optical, or properties. Focusing on compounds with MIII = Cr, it is noticeable that corresponding diphosphates have been studied extensively, in contrast to the scarcely studied chromium diarsenates. Herein the preparation and of CsCrAs2O7 is reported, one of a series of new cesium chromium(III) arsenate compounds recently isolated by our group.
2. Structural commentary
The structure of CsCrAs2O7 can be described as a three-dimensional [CrAs2O7]− anionic framework (Fig. 1) with channels extending parallel to [001] that are occupied by ten-coordinate Cs+ cations (Fig. 2).
The two independent arsenic atoms form AsO4 tetrahedra and are connected via the bridging O4 atom into a diarsenate As2O7 anion. Like in the related structures of KAlAs2O7 (Boughzala & Jouini, 1995) and RbAlAs2O7 (Boughzala et al., 1993), the As—O distances involving the bridging O4 atom are the longest (Table 1). The As1—O4—As2 bridging angle of 118.7 (2)° in the title structure is somewhat smaller than that of 125.9 (2)° reported for the isotypic structure of CsCrP2O7 (Linde & Gorbunova, 1982). The O—As—O bond angles span a range between 103.8 (2) and 116.2 (2)° and 105.5 (2) and 115.6 (2)°, respectively, for As1 and As2, reflecting the distortion of each of the AsO4 tetrahedra. The CrIII cations are in a slightly distorted octahedral oxygen coordination with Cr—O distances ranging from 1.944 (4) to 2.010 (4) Å (Table 1), and with O—Cr—O angles ranging from 82.96 (18) to 95.94 (17)° and from 172.37 (19) to 173.72 (17)°. Each CrO6 octahedron shares its corners with five As2O7 anions, one of which is chelating and the others belonging to four different As2O7 groups (Fig. 3). On the other hand, each As2O7 anion is surrounded by five CrO6 octahedra as depicted in Fig. 4. The environment of the ten-coordinate Cs+ cation situated in the cavities of the resulting [CrAs2O7]− framework is shown in Fig. 5.
It is worth mentioning that in the related aluminium diarsenate family AIAlAs2O7 (AI= K, Rb, Tl, Cs) (Boughzala & Jouini, 1992) that crystallizes isotypically in P and is classified as type II, the diarsenate groups have a different conformational orientation as those of the title structure. In the title structure, belonging to the type I family of AIMIIIX2O7 diarsenates, the diarsenate tetrahedra are in a nearly eclipsed conformation with a torsion angle O3—As1—As2—O7 of 39.8 (2)°, as shown in Fig. 6. The corresponding angle is 158.8 (2)° for KAlAs2O7 (Boughzala & Jouini, 1995).
Using the bond-valence method (Brown, 2002), the calculated bond-valence-sum values (in valence units) of 5.08, 4.97, 3.01 and 1.35, respectively, for As1, As2, Cr and Cs are in good agreement with the expected oxidation states.
3. Database survey
The structure of KAlP2O7 (Ng & Calvo, 1973) was the first published of the AIMIIIX2O7 family. Afterwards, based on different substitutions and combinations, a large number of different phases were isolated and crystallographically characterized. Replacement of one of the cations can improve the structural and physical properties but also affects the coordination numbers, the degree of distortion of the coordination polyhedra and the conformation of the X2O7 groups. Also, the crystal symmetry can be affected. The structures are triclinic, in P with two formulas units, for the diarsenate compounds AIAlAs2O7 (AI= K, Rb, Tl, Cs) (Boughzala & Jouini, 1992; Boughzala et al., 1993; Boughzala & Jouini; 1995), whereas diphosphates are generally monoclinic. The isotypic AICrP2O7 phases crystallize in P21/c for AI = Na (Bohaty et al., 1982), K (Gentil et al., 1997), Rb (Zhao & Li, 2011) and Cs (Linde & Gorbunova, 1982). The same counts for the AIFeP2O7 phases for AI = Na (Gabelica-Robert et al., 1982) and K (Riou et al., 1988). However, the two Li-containing phases LiMP2O7 show a symmetry reduction to P21 (M = Cr, Ivashkevich et al., 2007; M = Fe, Riou et al., 1990).
4. Synthesis and crystallization
The crystals of the title compound were obtained from heating a mixture of Cs2CO3, Cr2O3 and NH4H2AsO4, with a Cs:Cr:As molar ratio of 1:1:2. In order to eliminate volatile products, the sample was placed in a porcelain crucible and slowly heated under atmospheric conditions to 673 K and kept at that temperature for 24 h. In a second step, the crucible was progressively heated at 1023 K for 4 days and then slowly cooled down at a rate of 5 K/24 h to 923 K and finally quenched to room temperature. The product was washed with water and rinsed with an aqueous solution of HCl. Two phases could be isolated. The major phase forms regular cube-shaped dark-green crystals of yet unknown composition. The second phase represents the title compound and was obtained in the form of pink crystals.
5. Refinement

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
