Abstract
MgSeO4·7H2O is isostructural with the analogous sulfate, MgSO4·7H2O, consisting of isolated [Mg(H2O)6](2+) octa-hedra and [SeO4](2-) tetra-hedra, linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with a single inter-stitial lattice water mol-ecule. As in the sulfate, the [Mg(H2O)6](2+) coordination octa-hedron is elongated along one axis due to the tetra-hedral coordination of the two apical water mol-ecules; these have Mg-O distances of ∼2.10 Å, whereas the remaining four trigonally coordinated water mol-ecules have Mg-O distances of ∼2.05 Å. The mean Se-O bond length is 1.641 Å and is in excellent agreement with other selenates. The unit-cell volume of MgSeO4·7H2O at 10 K is 4.1% larger than that of the sulfate at 2 K, although this is not uniform; the greater part of the expansion is along the a axis of the crystal.Entities:

| Experimental. For peak integration a local UB matrix refined for each frame, using approximately 50 reflections from each of the 11 detectors. Hence _cell_measurement_reflns_used 550 For final cell dimensions a weighted average of all local cells was calculated Because of the nature of the experiment, it is not possible to give values of theta_min and theta_max for the cell determination. The same applies for the wavelength used for the experiment. The range of wavelengths used was 0.48–7.0 Angstroms, BUT the bulk of the diffraction information is obtained from wavelengths in the range 0.7–2.5 Angstroms. The data collection procedures on the SXD instrument used for the single-crystal neutron data collection are most recently summarized in the Appendix to the following paper Wilson, C. C. (1997). J. Mol. Struct. 405, 207–217 |
| Geometry. All e.s.d.s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.s is used for estimating e.s.d.s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. The variable wavelength nature of the data collection procedure means that
sensible values of _diffrn_reflns_theta_min & _diffrn_reflns_theta_max cannot
be given instead the following limits are given
_diffrn_reflns_sin(theta)/lambda_min 0.06 _diffrn_reflns_sin(theta)/lambda_max
1.38 _refine_diff_density_max/min is given in Fermi per angstrom cubed not
electons per angstrom cubed. Another way to consider the _refine_diff_density_
is as a percentage of the scattering density of a given atom:
_refine_diff_density_max = 4.5% of hydrogen _refine_diff_density_min = -3.8%
