Abstract
Structures of cubic and orthorhombic phases of langbeinite-type K 2 Mn 2 (SO 4 ) 3 have been determined at 20°C and -90°C by X-ray diffraction. Thermal parameters of oxygen atoms in the cubic phase are remarkably anisotropic and show unusually high values, whereas those in the orthorhombic phase are rather normal. The change in bond lengths and angles at the transition clarifies a rigid body motion of SO 4 group. It is concluded that the principal structural change at the cubic-orthorhombic transition is characterized by ordering of sulfate groups.Keywords
