| Abstract: | Crystals of challacolloite, KPb2Cl5, and hephaistosite, TlPb2Cl5, from volcanic sublimates formed on the crater rim of the “La Fossa Crater” at Vulcano, Aeolian Archipelago, Italy, were investigated. Chemical compositions were ${\left( {{\text{K}}_{{0.93}} {\text{Tl}}_{{0.02}} } \right)}_{{\Sigma = 0.95}} {\text{Pb}}_{{2.04}} {\left( {{\text{Cl}}_{{4.90}} {\text{Br}}_{{0.11}} } \right)}_{{\Sigma = 5.01}} $ and ${\text{Tl}}_{{0.94}} {\text{Pb}}_{{2.01}} {\left( {{\text{Cl}}_{{4.91}} {\text{Br}}_{{0.14}} } \right)}_{{\Sigma = 5.05}} $ , respectively. Single crystal X-ray measurements showed monoclinic symmetry for both phases, space group P21/c, with the following unit-cell parameters: a = 8.8989(4), b = 7.9717(5), c = 12.5624(8) Å, β = 90.022(4)°, V = 891.2(1) Å3, Z = 4 (challacolloite) and a = 9.0026(6), b = 7.9723(6), c = 12.5693(9) Å, β = 90.046(4)°, V = 902.1(1) Å3, Z = 4 (hephaistosite). The structure refinements converge to R = 3.99% and R = 3.86%, respectively. The effects of Br?Cl and K?Tl substitutions on the structure of these natural compounds have been discussed. |
