Abstract/NotesAbstractThe crystal structure of the new mineral kamchatkite, a= 9.741(5), b= 12.858(6), c=7.001(3)Ã…, space group Pna21, Z = 4, has been determined through direct methods using 1430 intensities and refined to a final discrepancy index R = 0.055. It contains (SO4) tetrahedra and Cu octahedra interconnected by oxygen atoms to form an electrostatically neutral three-dimensional arrangement of formula Cu3O[SO4]2 which contains channels parallel to [001]. The channels are not empty but house KCl molecules.
