Synthesis and crystal structure of Fe[SeO4]OH and prediction of polytypes in the extended R[MO4]Z family

Abstract

The newly synthesized compound Fe[SeO4]OH belongs to the kieserite-like structure. Using the superspace approach, possible polytypes are predicted for R[MO4]Z, where R = Mg, Fe, Ni, Co, Zn, Mn, Al, V, Sb, Y; M = S, Se, P, As; Z = OH, H2O, F, O.
