Abstract

Abstract: Cu3 (SeO4 )2 (SeO3 OH)2 (H2 O)16 (1 ) is a novel copper selenate hydrate and the first inorganic compound to contain linear octahedral–tetrahedral heptamers. The heptamers are formed by successive polymerization of two SeO3 OH tetrahedra, two SeO4 tetrahedra, and three Cu(H2 O)4 O2 octahedra. The linkages between the octahedra and tetrahedra are in the trans ‐configuration, which is in agreement with the Jahn–Teller distortion of the octahedral coordination geometry of Cu 2+ .
