Zirconium compounds of the system xZrO2,yCrO3,zH2O was prepared by hydrothermal hydrolysis, according to a method originally described by Briggs (1929). The synthesis has been performed in two steps. First an amorphous product has been prepared (Lundgren, 1958), which then was converted to crystals by hydrothermal hydrolysis as described ealier by Mark (1972).
The well diffracting crystal produced a regular pattern of sharp and intense reflections. A visual exploration of the frames was performed and several frames showed continuous streaks between rows of sharp reflections. The continuous lines were parallel to the c* direction and situated midway between neighbouring reflections in both a* and b* directions. This indicated, in accordance with the earlier structure determination (Mark, 1972) that the true structure is periodic in the a and b directions but lacks periodicity in the c direction.
The determination of the structure is more precise than the original one (Mark, 1972) making the stucture features well defined, s.u.'s beeing smaller by a factor of about 5.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

%T Investigations of the xZrO$_{2}$,yCrO$_{3}$,zH$_{2}$O system were carried out by Lundgren (1958) and Mark (1972, 1973). They showed that three different phases can be obtained by hydro\-thermal hydro\-lysis and indicated that two phases have similar structures, while the third structure, Zr(OH)$_{2}$CrO$_{4}$, is essentially different. In the title compound, the zirconium is more highly polymerized than in the other phases. This phase is obtained at lower chromium trioxide concentration and higher temperature than the others. The Zr(OH)$_{2}$CrO$_{4}$ crystallizes as small red square plates with a tetragonal shape.
The structure of zirconium di\-hydroxide chromate has been redetermined. In accordance with the earlier investigation (Mark, 1972) of this compound, this structure is an OD structure (Dornberger-Shiff, 1956, 1982) consisting of ordered layers whose stacking in {ιt c} direction is disordered. The space group of the superposition structure is tetragonal I4$_{1}$/amd with a = 6.8709κern2pt(1)κern2ptσmash{AA{}} and {ιt c} = 29.0432κern2pt(2)κern2ptσmash{AA{}} and Z = 12. There are four equivalent layers L$_{0}$, L$_{1}$, L$_{2}$ and L$_{4}$ in the true structure. The space group of the superposition structure implies consecutive layers L to be linked by the operation:
$$λeft (µatrix {x_{Ln+1}χr y_{Ln+1}χr z_{Ln+1}χr} ρight) = λeft (µatrix {0 & 1 & 0 χr −1 & 0 & 0 χr 0 & 0 & 1 χr} ρight) λeft (µatrix {x_{Ln} χr y_{Ln} χr z_{Ln} χr} ρight) + λeft (µatrix {σcriptstyle{3 οver 4} χr σcriptstyle{−1 οver 4} χr σcriptstyle{1 οver 4} χr} ρight) $$
The superposition structure, $ρho$$_{S}$(x,{ιt y},{ιt z}) is related to the true structure, $ρho$(x,{ιt y},{ιt z}) by the relation: $ρho$$_{S}$(x,{ιt y},{ιt z}) = 1/4[$ρho$(x,{ιt y},{ιt z}) + $ρho$(x + 1/2,{ιt y},{ιt z}) + $ρho$(x,{ιt y} + 1/2,{ιt z}) + $ρho$(x + 1/2,{ιt y} + 1/2,{ιt z})] (Mark, 1972)
There are two structurally non-equivalent Zr atoms in the structure; one with eightfold coordination forming a dodecahedron, ZrO$_{8}$, and one with sevenfold coordination forming a pentagonal bipyramid, ZrO$_{7}$. There also are two structurally non-equivalent chromate groups. The zirconium polyhedra are well described by the space group symmetry of the superposition structure. The disorder in the structure is, in accordance with the earlier structure determination (Mark, 1972), due to the chromate groups. One particular chromate tetrahedron (Cr1) may be situated either above or below the edge sharing ZrO$_{8}$ dodecadron, thus affecting the available positions for the (Cr2) chromate tetrahedron. The only atoms affected by the disorder are the Cr1, O6, Cr2, O5 and the O2 bonded H atoms. The OD-grupoids associated to the disordered atoms was formulated by Mark (1972) as follows:
Starting from layer L$_{0}$ or L$_{2}$: $$ κern-15ptP κern2ptm κern2ptm κern6pt(n)_{1,1/2} κern10pt1 κern22pt1$$ $$λeft \ {κern6pt1 κern6pt1 κern8ptπmatrix {οverline{4} χr 4_{4}} {2_{1/2} οver n_{1/4, 2}} {2 οver n_{1/4, 2}} ρight \} $$
Starting from layer L$_{1}$ or L$_{3}$: $$ κern-15ptP κern2ptm κern2ptm κern6pt(n)_{1/2,1} κern10pt1 κern22pt1$$ $$λeft \ {κern6pt1 κern6pt1 κern8ptπmatrix {οverline{4} χr 4_{4}} {2 οver n_{1/4, 2}} {2_{1/2} οver n_{1/4, 2}} ρight \} $$
The main structural feature in zirconium and related hydro\-xide salts (Lundgren, 1958; Mark, 1972, 1973; Hansson, 1973{ιt b}; El Brahimi {ιt et al.}. 1988), is the forming of infinite parallel chains with the formula [Zr(OH)$_{2}$]$_{{ιt n}}$${2{ιt n}+}$, all running in the same direction. The coordination numbers of the metal atoms seem to be of importance for the type of chains adopted by the compounds. In structures containing parallel linear chains (Hansson 1969; Hansson \& Lundgren 1968; Hansson \& Mark, 1973; Mark, 1973) the metal atoms are 7-coordinated to O atoms, while in the structures containing parallel zigzag chains (Lundgren, 1950; Hansson, 1973{ιt a},{ιt b}; El Brahimi, 1988), with the metal atoms situated at alternate sides of the rows of hydro\-xide ions, the metal atoms are 8-coordinated.
In every layer of the title compound, the Zr atoms form parallel linear and intersecting chains. There are two kinds of layers, containing chains of zirconium polyhedra either along the {ιt a} axis or along the {ιt b} axis. The layers alternate, creating nets with the composition [Zr$_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$CrO$_{4}$]$_{{ιt n}}$${4{ιt n}+}$, joined together in {ιt c} direction by chromate groups. The most important interatomic distances and angles in the structure are given in Table 1. One third of the Zr atoms (Zr1, Wyckoff position 4a) exhibit eight fold oxy\-gen coordination while the remaining two thirds (Zr2, Wyckoff position 8 e) are coordinated to seven O atoms. Each Zr1 atom is joined by double hydro\-xide bridges to four Zr2 atoms. Each ZrO$_{7}$ pentagonal bipyramid shares two edges with ZrO$_{8}$ dodecahedra. One third of the Cr atoms (Cr1, Wyckoff position 8 e, site occupancy 1/8) are included in the infinite nets while the others (Cr2, Wyckoff position 16 h, site occupancy 1/4) are net-connecting. The net-included chromate group shares one of its tetrahedral edges with an edge of a ZrO$_{8}$ dodecahedron, in this case the two bridging hydro\-xide ions have been displaced by two chromate O atoms (Fig. 2). The net-connecting chromate group shares three vertices with three different ZrO$_{7}$ polyhedra, two belonging to the same net and one belonging to a net above or below. The extent of distortion of the cromate groups from ideal tetrahedral symmetry is in accordance with the one expected from calculation by the bond valence sum method (Brown \& Kung, 1976; Brown \& Altermatt, 1985). The positions of the H atoms were not located.
