abstract = {The crystal structure of alkali/water-poor beryl (1120 +
Na2O + Cs2O < 1.2 $wt\%)$ was reinvestigated by means of
laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy,
thermogravimetric analysis, neutron diffraction, and
polarized infrared spectroscopy to determine the real
topological configuration of the extra-framework content in
the six-membered ring channels. Analysis of the nuclear
density Fourier map suggests that the (water) oxygen is
located along the sixfold axis at the 2a site (0,0, 1/4),
whereas the (water) protons are at -0.028(7), -0.071(3),
0.332(1). The hydrogen atoms are distributed in 6 x 2
equivalent positions, above and below the oxygen site.
Geometrical configuration of the water molecule is well
defined: the O-H bond distance is 0.949(18) angstrom and the
H-O-H bond angle is 106.9(2.2)degrees. The (HH)-H-... vector
is oriented at similar to 4 degrees from [001]. This
configuration is completely different from that found in
alkali-rich beryl, where the (HH)-H-... vector is
perpendicular to [00 1]. Na is probably located, with the
H2O oxygen, at the 2a site. According to the chemical
analysis, which shows that the amounts of other alkali and
earth-alkali cations are negligible (Rb, K, Mg, Mn <= 110
ppm, Ca <= 225 ppm, Cs <= 430 ppm), no effect of other
cations on the extra-framework population was observed in
the structural refinement. The final agreement index (R-1)
of the structural refinement was 0.037 for 34 refined
parameters and 160 unique reflections with F-0 > 4
sigma(F-0). The topological configuration of the H2O
molecule into the channel is confirmed by the spectroscopic
investigation. Polarized single-crystal IR spectra show that
the H2O molecule is oriented with the molecular symmetry
axis perpendicular to the hexagonal axis and (HH)-H-...
vector parallel (or quasi-parallel) to [001].},
