Hematolite, (Mn'z+,Mg,Al)rr(OH.)zg(AsOr)(AsOn)r, Z : 3, rhombohedral, space group R3, a = 8.275(5), c = 36.60(5)4, is a dense-packed oxide structure of unusual complexity. R : 0.ll for l47l independent reflections. The structure is based on the dense-packed stacking sequence .hhhch. which includes 34 oxygens and one lone electron pair with seven anions per layer. Counting the lone pair as an anion, the general formula is MruTsQsr, where M : octahedral, I = tetrahedral, and @ : anion populations. The arsenite trigonal pyramid is geometrically similar and occurs in an environment similar to that found in synadelphite, Mr(OH)r(HrO)r(AsOrXAsOn)r. The five non-equivalent layers are: (l) isolated octahedra; (2) octahedral and tetrahedral sheet identical to that found in welinite, Mna+Mn3+SiOr; (3) octahedral and trigonal pyramidal sheet much like (2); (4) insular octahedra and tetrahedra, and (5) octahedral sheets of the type lM"6rlfound in chalcophanite. These layers are coupled to each other by corner- and edgesharing. Hematolite is a key to the more complicated structures of kraisslite, M1$Zn'(OH),,(AsOo)o(SiOn),, and mcgovernite, It|1fi,Zn (OH),,(AsOe)(AsO.),(SiO')g. Models are proposed for these structures and for dixenite, Mn?iMnl+(OH)r(AsOs)6(SiOr).
