Single crystals of two novel compounds related to shchurovskyite were synthesized and structurally characterized. Both compounds have Cu-based layers connected differently, with compound 1 having the simplest structure and compound 2 being the most complex in the family.
Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O](2)(PO4)(4) (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O](2)(PO4)(4) (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.
