A new form of NaMnAsO4, sodium manganese(II) orthoarsenate, has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions, and is referred to as the β-polymorph. In contrast to the previously reported orthorhombic α-polymorph that crystallizes in the olivine-type of structure and has one manganese(II) cation in a distorted octahedral coordination, the current β-polymorph contains two manganese(II) cations in [5]-coordination, intermediate between a square-pyramid and a trigonal bipyramid. In the of β-NaMnAsO4, four [MnO5] polyhedra are linked through vertex- and edge-sharing into finite {Mn4O16} units strung into rows parallel to [100]. These units are linked through two distinct orthoarsenate groups into a framework structure with channels propagating parallel to the manganese oxide rows. Both unique sodium cations are situated inside the channels and exhibit coordination numbers of six and seven. β-NaMnAsO4 is isotypic with one form of NaCoPO4 and with NaCuAsO4.

1. Chemical context
Magnussonite is a rare manganese(II) arsenite mineral and has been described with an ideal formula of MnII10AsIII6O18(OH,Cl)2 (Moore & Araki, 1979). In a recent project on hydrothermal crystal growth of phases in the system MnII/AsIII/O (Priestner et al., 2018a) and a precise structure of magnussonite, it could be shown that the obtained synthetic material has a composition of MnII3AsIII2O6·1/3H2O whereas naturally occurring material (type locality Långban, Sweden) is better described as MnII3AsIII2O6(CuII(OH,Cl)2)x (Priestner et al., 2018b). Building on that knowledge, a subsequent project was started to incorporate divalent transition-metal cations under hydrothermal conditions into synthetic magnussonite for obtaining similar compositions to those in the natural material. In one of the batches, containing manganese(II) acetate, sodium hydroxide, nickel chloride and arsenic(III) oxide as the arsenic source, we observed a partial oxidation of arsenic to yield monoclinic NaMnAsO4 as a by-product with arsenic in an of +V. NaMnAsO4 was reported previously, as obtained from a high-temperature synthesis in a molten salt medium (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2002). This form crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space-group type Pnma and adopts an olivine-type of structure.
In the following, we refer to the previously reported orthorhombic polymorph (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2002) as the α-form, and the new monoclinic polymorph as the β-form of NaMnAsO4.
2. Structural commentary
β-NaMnAsO4 crystallizes isotypically with one of the three modifications of the phosphate NaCoPO4 (Feng et al., 1997) and with the copper analogue NaCuAsO4 (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2003). The of β-NaMnAsO4 comprises of two formula units, and the principal building units are two manganese(II) cations in [5]-coordination, two orthoarsenate anions AsO43–, and two sodium cations in a six- and sevenfold coordination by oxygen (Fig. 1).
The τ5 descriptor (Addison et al., 1984) was calculated as 0.59 for the polyhedron around Mn1 and 0.54 for that around Mn2, meaning that the shapes of the polyhedra are intermediate between a square pyramid (τ5 = 0) and a trigonal bipyramid (τ5 = 1). The Mn—O bond lengths range from 2.061 (3)–2.205 (3) Å whereby those involving Mn1 scatter in a greater range than those involving Mn2 (Table 1). Two [Mn2O5] polyhedra are fused into a centrosymmetric dimer by sharing an edge. To each side of the dimer two [Mn1O5] polyhedra are attached by sharing a common vertex, thus establishing a finite {Mn4O16} unit. In the of the α-polymorph (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2002), the unique MnII site has a distorted octahedral environment with bond lengths ranging from 2.121 (2)–2.339 (2) Å. Here the [MnO6] units are connected through sharing four of their vertices into perovskite-type sheets. The isolated {Mn4O16} units in the β-polymorph are strung into rows parallel to [100] and are connected into a three-dimensional framework structure by AsO43– tetrahedra sharing common vertices. The As—O bond lengths (Table 1) are characteristic for isolated orthoarsenate groups, and their mean values of 1.692 Å (As1) and 1.676 Å (As2) conform with literature data (1.687 Å; Gagné & Hawthorne, 2018). This framework delimits channels parallel to [100] in which the two sodium cations are situated. They are surrounded by six (Na1) and seven (Na2) oxygen atoms, each displaying a distorted Relevant Na—O distances are collated in Table 1. The results of bond-valence-sum calculations (Brown, 2002; Brese & O'Keeffe, 1991) are consistent with the expected oxidation states of +I for Na, +II for Mn, +V for As, and −II for O (values in valence units): Na1 = 1.03, Na2 = 0.95, Mn1 = 1.94, Mn2 = 1.98, As1 = 4.90, As2 = 5.12, O atoms = 1.83–2.16.
The previously reported α-form of NaMnAsO4 has a calculated X-ray density Dx = 4.03 g cm−3 and thus is denser than the current β-form (3.95 g cm−3). Based on the rule of thumb that the denser polymorph is (in the majority of cases) the stable form, these values point to α-NaMnAsO4 as the thermodynamically stable polymorph. This assumption is supported by the preparation conditions of the different polymorphs. The α-polymorph was obtained under high-temperature conditions (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2002) whereas the β-polymorph crystallized under much milder temperature conditions. As a result of the scarcity of β-NaMnAsO4 material, a detailed investigation of the thermal behaviour was not conducted. However, a possible β → α would be of the reconstructive type because the building units in the two structures exhibit a completely different arrangement.
For a quantitative structural comparison of β-NaMnAsO4 with the isotypic sodium copper(II) arsenate analogue, NaCuAsO4 (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2003), the program compstru (de la Flor et al., 2016) available at the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (Aroyo et al., 2006) was used. The comparison revealed a degree of of 0.0170, the maximum distance between the atomic positions of paired atoms of 0.1834 Å for pair Na1, the arithmetic mean of all distances of 0.1150 Å, and the measure of similarity of 0.050. All these values show a high similarity between the two crystal structures. This is supported by the similar τ5 values of 0.57 and 0.47 for the two copper(II) cations in NaCuAsO4.
3. Synthesis and crystallization
A stoichiometric mixture of Mn(CH3COO)2·4H2O, NaOH, As2O3 and NiCl2 in the ratio 1:6:1:1/6 was loaded in a Teflon container that was filled with 3 ml of water to two-thirds of its volume. Then the container was sealed with a Teflon lid and placed in a steel autoclave that was heated at 483 K for five days. After cooling to room temperature, the solid material was filtered off, washed with mother liquor, water and ethanol and air-dried. The main phase identified by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction was synthetic magnussonite, Mn3As2O6·1/3H2O (Priestner et al., 2018b). Synthetic sarkinite, a basic manganese(II) arsenate(V) with formula Mn2AsO4(OH) (Stock et al., 2002), and the title compound were also present as minor by-products, with β-NaMnAsO4 typically appearing in the form of needles.
4. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . Coordinates of isotypic NaCuAsO4 (Ulutagay-Kartin et al., 2003) were standardized using the program STRUCTURE-TIDY (Gelato & Parthé, 1987) and then used as starting parameters for Free of the site occupation factors for the two Mn sites resulted in a value of 1.000 (3) in each case, thus revealing no incorporation of Ni at these sites.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
