EXAFS study of the structure of amorphous and crystalline arsenic oxide

Abstract
Interatomic distances and their mean square variation are presented for both forms. These show that the As—O bond length and As—O—As bond angle are the same in the crystal and the glass. The results for the glass show that its structure is more akin to claudetite than arsenolite, and that As4O6 molecular units are unlikely to exist as well defined entities in the glass.
