Crystallography of Saléeite

Crystal System:Monoclinic
Class (H-M):2/m - Prismatic
Space Group:P21/b (P1 1 21/b) [P21/c] {P1 21/c 1} {P21/a}
Cell Parameters:a = 6.951(3) Å, b = 19.947(8) Å, c = 9.896(4) Å
β = 135.17(2)°
Ratio:a:b:c = 0.348 : 1 : 0.496
Unit Cell Volume:V 967.34 ų (Calculated from Unit Cell)
Z:2
Morphology:Saleeite is pseudotetragonal, the last few water molecules distort it. Forms square plates, composite, flattened on {001}, and exhibiting {001}, {100}, {120}, and {012}. Subparallel lamellar aggregates common.
Comment:The structure consists of UO2PO4 sheets between which are located Mg2+ ions and water molecules. The Mg2+ ions are octahedrally coordinated to 6 of the 10 interlayer waters, but the last 4 water molecules are not bound to Mg.

Epitaxial Relationships of Saléeite

Epitaxial Minerals:
Torbernite
Epitaxi Comments:Oriented growths on Torbernite with parallel axes.
