Abstract
Solid-solution studies in the CsHSO₄-CsH₂PO₄ system carded out in a search for low-temperature proton conducting materials yielded the new compound Cs₃(HSO₄)₂(H₂PO₄) [tricesium bis(hydrogensulfate) dihydrogenphosphate]. Single-crystal X-ray measurements (performed at room temperature) revealed that Cs₃(HSO₄)₂(H₂PO₄) crystallizes in space group P2₁/n and has lattice parameters a=19.546(3), b=7.8798(10), c=9.1854(17)Å and β=100.536(14)°. With four formula units in the unit cell, and a cell volume of 1390.7(4)ų, Cs₃(HSO₄)₂(H₂PO₄) has a calculated density of 3.295 Mg m⁻³. 18 non-H atoms were located in the asymmetric unit. Refinement using anisotropic temperature factors for all 18 non-H atoms yielded weighted residuals based on F² and F values, respectively, of 9.32 and 4.56% for all observed reflections. Hydrogen sites were identified (but not refined) on the basis of geometric considerations. The structure contains zigzag chains of hydrogen-bonded anion tetrahedra that are, in turn, bonded to one another to form a three-dimensional structure. In the temperature range 381-398K the compound transforms into a structure which is rhombohedral, pseudo-body-centered cubic, with lattice constants a=6.95(2)Å , and α≃90°.
