Abstract:
CCD single-crystal X-ray diffractometer was employed to analyze the crystal structure of pezzottaite with space group = R3c. The variation characteristics of c/a ratio of unit cell, which is caused by the regular replacement of Li+ to Be2+ in the structure, has been discussed. In contrast with the detected space group of the crystal, the newly discovered ditrigonal scalenohedral negative crystal inclusions showed the m symmetry of the crystal with space group symmetry R-3c. Our structural analysis of pezzottaite revealed that the previous assumption of the space group (R-3m) of the crystal was incorrect. Further experiments are required to determine the true space group (R-3c or R3c) of pezzottaite and reveal whether it has the symmetrical centre or not.
