Abstract
The new mineral sarrabusite Pb(5)CuCl(4)(SeO(3))(4) has been discovered in the Sardinian mine of Baccu Locci, near Villaputzu. It occurs as small lemon-yellow spherical aggregates of tabular crystals (< 10 µm) of less than 100 µm in diameter. The crystal structure has been solved from and refined against electron diffraction of a microcrystal. Data sets have been measured by both a manual and an automated version of the new electron-diffraction tomography technique combined with the precession of the electron beam. The sarrabusite structure is monoclinic and consists of (010) layers of straight chains formed by alternating edge-sharing CuO(4)Cl(2) and PbO(8) polyhedra parallel to the c axis, which share corners laterally with two zigzag corner-sharing chains of PbO(6)Cl(2) and PbO(4)Cl(4) bicapped trigonal prisms. These blocks are linked together by SeO(3)(2-) flat-pyramidal groups.
期刊介绍：
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
