Abstract
The crystal structure of CsBrO4 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and found to be different from the structures of the lighter alkali perbromates. Cesium perbromate crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a, with unit cell constants of a = 5.751(4)A and c = 14.821(12)A. Full-matrix least-squares analyses indicate that tetrahedral perbromate ions are situated in the lattice so that all corresponding tetrahedral faces are parallel. The observed BrO distance is 1.591(6) A. The Cs+ ions reside in twelve coordinate positions with CsO distances of 3.146(7), 3.383(9), and 3.389(9) A. This unique stucture causes CsBrO4 crystals to have noticeable plasticity.
