THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF VASILYEVITE, (Hg2)102+ O6 I3 (Br,Cl)3 (CO3)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The crystal structure of vasilyevite, ideally (Hg 2 ) 2 + 10 O 6 I 3 Br 2 Cl (CO 3 ), triclinic, a 9.344(2), b 10.653(2), c 18.265(4) A, a 93.262(5), β 90.548(4), γ 115.422(4)°, V 1638.3(9) A 3 , space group P1, Z = 2, D(calc) = 9.57 g cm - 3 , has been solved by direct methods and refined to an R 1 index of 8.9% for 3400 unique reflections measured with MoKa X-radiation on a four-circle diffractometer equipped with a CCD detector. There are twenty unique Hg sites that are associated as pairs of sites with pair separations of 2.533 to 2.593 A; this association of Hg atoms is typical of Hg + cations pairing to form (Hg 2 ) 2 + dimers. Each (Hg 2 ) 2 + dimer is extended at each end by bonding to axial O atoms with Hg-O distances in the range 2.00 to 2.32 A, with one dimer showing a terminal I atom with a very short Hg-I distance of 2.75 A. These [Φ-Hg-Hg-Φ] tetramers form near-linear arrangements that are surrounded by several meridional anions, O atoms at distances from 2.44 to 2.85 A, mixed (Cl,Br) sites at distances from 2.89 to 3.78 A, and I atoms at distances from 3.11 to 4.02 A. Bonds to axial anions make angles of <23° with the Hg-Hg axis, involving the Hg atoms to which they are bonded; bonds to meridional anions make angles of <31 ° with the perpendicular to the Hg-Hg axis, involving the Hg atoms to which they are bonded. There is one site, labeled C,S, that is surrounded by a triangle of O atoms at a mean distance of 1.25 A; the presence of S in the chemical composition and the refined scattering at the C,S site indicates that this site is occupied by both (CO 3 ) and S 2 - in the ratio 0.85: 0.15. There are three distinct I sites occupied solely by I - anions that are [8]- or [9]-coordinated by Hg cations. There are three X sites that are occupied by 0.73 Br + 0.27 Cl, 0.69 Br + 0.31 Cl, and 0.22 Br + 0.78 Cl and are [7]- and [8]-coordinated by Hg cations. The fundamental building block of the vasilyevite structure is the strongly bonded [Φ-Hg-Hg-Φ] tetramer. These groups link together at their anion vertices to form a complex interpenetrating framework of two discrete three- and four-connected nets. The halogen atoms and the (CO 3 ) and S 2 - anions occur in the interstices of the two nets and serve to stabilize the nets via additional weak linkages to He atoms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
