Show affiliations Neutron diffraction experiments on the room- and low-temperature phases of K3H(SeO4)2 (Ttrs = 21 K) and K3D(SeO4)2 (Ttrs = 105 K) have been performed using the time-of-flight high-resolution powder diffractometer HRPD at the ISIS pulsed neutron source. Data were collected at 2 and 30 K for K3H(SeO4)2 and 2 and 130 K for K3D(SeO4)2 over the d-spacing range 0.7-2.4 Å. The room-temperature phases of the crystals have monoclinic structure belonging to the space group A2/a. Rietveld refinement combined with the published dielectric and calorimetric studies reveals that H/D atoms are disordered over two symmetry-equivalent positions. The hydrogen bonds are non-linear with an O-H/D![]()

O angle of 175(1)°. The hydrogen bond length is 2.495(1) Å in K3H(SeO4)2 and 2.533(2) Å in K3D(SeO4)2. The separation between the half occupancy hydrogen positions is 0.32(1) Å for K3H(SeO4)2 and 0.550(4) Å for K3D(SeO4)2. The relation between these structural parameters and the isotope effect in the transition temperature is discussed. Diffraction patterns of the low-temperature phases indicated that the structure change accompanying the transition is very small.
