Interstitial Atoms in the Layer Structure ZnMn3O73H2O (Chalcophanite)

An Erratum to this article was published on 26 December 1953

Abstract

CHALCOPHANITE crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P&1bar;, with a = 7.54, b = 7.54, c = 8.22 A., α = 117.2°, β = 90°, γ = 120°. The crystal structure was determined by Fourier methods of X-ray analysis on a specimen from the U.S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution.
