Abstract

The crystal structure of a Pb-exchanged form of zorite is studied by X-ray diffraction: Pb3.95(Ca0.1Sr0.05)[Ti(Ti0.80Nb0.20)4Si12O38(OH)] · 9.52H2O (sp. gr. Cmmm, R = 0.0530 for 680 independent reflections). The structure retains the mixed polyhedral framework of zorite, Na6[Ti(Ti,Nb)4(Si6O17)2(O,OH)5] · 11H2O. This framework is composed of xonotlite-like [Si6O17] ribbons linked to each other by columns of vertex-sharing (Ti,Nb)O6 octahedra and isolated TiO5 half-octahedra. Lead atoms in the Pb-exchanged form occupy one site, unlike Cs cations in the Cs-exchanged form of zorite, which are strongly disordered and partially occupy eight positions. The position of Pb2+ cations corresponds to the Na(2) position in the zorite structure, the Sr position in the Sr-exchanged form of ETS-4, and the K position in the K-exchanged form and is similar to the position of the water molecule W(3) in the structure of the Cs-exchanged form of zorite.
