Transparent, colorless single crystals of compound (I) were grown at room temperature by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of Te(OH)6 (Aldrich, 99%), K2SeO4 (Aldrich, 99.99%) and K2SO4 (Aldrich, 99%) in the stoichiometric ratio 1:0.5:0.5.
Hydrogen atoms on Te(OH)6 groups were located in a difference map and were refined with restrained distances between 0.81 (1) and 0.86 (1) Å and a common Uiso parameter. For the refinement of the occupation factors for S and Se, their sum was constrained to be equal to 1. The highest peak and the deepest hole in the final Fourier map are located 0.04 and 0.57 Å, respectively, from the X site (X = S, Se).
Fig. 1 shows a projection of the title structure (I) on the ab plane. The structure consists of planes of Te(OH)6 octahedra alternating with planes of statistically occupied XO4 tetrahedra (X = S, Se). The Te(OH)6 layers extend parallel to the ac plane at y = 0, whereas the parallel XO4 layers are at y ≈ 0.5. The K+ cations are situated between the layers.
The two independent Te atoms in (I) occupy inversion centres (Fig. 2), with very similar Te—O distances between 1.900 (6) and 1.921 (6) Å and O—Te—O angles between 88.8 (3) and 91.20 (3)°. In the isostructural end-member K2SO4·Te(OH)6 (KSTe) (Zilber et al., 1980), the Te—O distances are nearly the same and vary from 1.914 (5) to 1.938 (5) Å, whilst in K2SeO4·Te(OH)6 (KSeTe) they are between 1.913 (2) and 1.919 (2) Å (Dammak et al., 2005).
The X—O distances of the slightly distorted XO4 tetrahedra vary from 1.460 (7) to 1.508 (6) Å, with O—X—O angles between 108.3 (4) and 111.0 (4)°. In the KSTe structure, the S—O distances range from 1.453 (5) to 1.503 (5) Å and in the KSeTe homologue, the Se—O distances vary from 1.627 (7) to 1.659 (7) Å.
The two K+ cations are both in eightfold coordination with distances ranging between 2.709 (6) and 3.267 (8) Å. K1+ is coordinated by three O atoms belonging to two XO4 tetrahedra, by one O atom of a Te1O6 octahedron, and by four O atoms of three Te2O6 octahedra. The environment of K2+ consists of three O atoms belonging to three XO4 tetrahedra, of one O atom from a Te2O6 octahedron, and of four O atoms from three Te1O6 octahedra.
Interplanar O—H···O hydrogen bonding between the Te(OH)6 octahedra and the XO4 tetrahedra helps to consolidate the structural set-up. In consequence, all H atoms of the hydroxyl groups participate in the formation of hydrogen bonding. In the XO4 group, two oxygen atoms are acceptors of one H atom, whereas the other O atoms are acceptors of two H atoms. The O···O distances vary from 2.654 (9) to 2.780 (9) Å and the O—H···O angles range from 164.3 (4) and 175.6 (5)° (Table 1, Fig. 3).

Fig. 1 shows a projection of the title structure (I) on the ab plane. The structure consists of planes of Te(OH)6 octahedra alternating with planes of statistically occupied XO4 tetrahedra (X = S, Se). The Te(OH)6 layers extend parallel to the ac plane at y = 0, whereas the parallel XO4 layers are at y ≈ 0.5. The K+ cations are situated between the layers.
The two independent Te atoms in (I) occupy inversion centres (Fig. 2), with very similar Te—O distances between 1.900 (6) and 1.921 (6) Å and O—Te—O angles between 88.8 (3) and 91.20 (3)°. In the isostructural end-member K2SO4·Te(OH)6 (KSTe) (Zilber et al., 1980), the Te—O distances are nearly the same and vary from 1.914 (5) to 1.938 (5) Å, whilst in K2SeO4·Te(OH)6 (KSeTe) they are between 1.913 (2) and 1.919 (2) Å (Dammak et al., 2005).
The X—O distances of the slightly distorted XO4 tetrahedra vary from 1.460 (7) to 1.508 (6) Å, with O—X—O angles between 108.3 (4) and 111.0 (4)°. In the KSTe structure, the S—O distances range from 1.453 (5) to 1.503 (5) Å and in the KSeTe homologue, the Se—O distances vary from 1.627 (7) to 1.659 (7) Å.
The two K+ cations are both in eightfold coordination with distances ranging between 2.709 (6) and 3.267 (8) Å. K1+ is coordinated by three O atoms belonging to two XO4 tetrahedra, by one O atom of a Te1O6 octahedron, and by four O atoms of three Te2O6 octahedra. The environment of K2+ consists of three O atoms belonging to three XO4 tetrahedra, of one O atom from a Te2O6 octahedron, and of four O atoms from three Te1O6 octahedra.
Interplanar O—H···O hydrogen bonding between the Te(OH)6 octahedra and the XO4 tetrahedra helps to consolidate the structural set-up. In consequence, all H atoms of the hydroxyl groups participate in the formation of hydrogen bonding. In the XO4 group, two oxygen atoms are acceptors of one H atom, whereas the other O atoms are acceptors of two H atoms. The O···O distances vary from 2.654 (9) to 2.780 (9) Å and the O—H···O angles range from 164.3 (4) and 175.6 (5)° (Table 1, Fig. 3).
