Abstract

A new basic copper sulfamate Cu3(OH)5[SO3(NH2)] of anthropogenic origin from the oxidation zone of the Murzinskoe gold deposit (Altai Krai, Russia) has been characterized with XRD and IR spectroscopy. This compound has no natural or synthetic analogues and represents a novel structure type. It is monoclinic, with a space group P21/c; a = 7.5817(4), b = 5.9823(3), c = 17.0084(8) Å, β = 99.140(5)°; V = 761.63(7) Å3, Z = 4. The crystal structure of this sulfamate (R = 4.91%) is based on distorted brucite-type layers composed of Cu2+-centred octahedra of three different types: CuO2(OH)4, Cu(OH)6 and CuO(OH)5. SO3NH2 tetrahedra isolated from each other are linked to the layers from both sides. The neighboring heteropolyhedral layers formed by Cu-centered octahedra and SO3NH2 tetrahedra are connected via a system of hydrogen bonds.
