Schematic picture of the phase transitions of the leonite-type compounds. The room temperature phases have a crystal structure with space group C2/m, the intermediate phases have a crystal structure with space group I2/a and the low-temperature phases have a crystal structure with space group P21/a. The crystal structures are plotted without K ions and H2O molecules. Full arrows show supergroup/subgroup relationships between the room temperature structure and both low-temperature derivatives, the small arrows show the succession of the structural changes in leonite and “Mn-leonite.” Groups of octahedra with two tetrahedra form layers parallel to (001). Layers with ordered tetrahedra are indicated as A, layers with disordered tetrahedra are indicated as B.
