The copper oxide arsenate Cu4O(AsO4)2 has been prepared and investigated by single crystal X-ray techniques. The compound crystallizes with triclinic symmetry, space group C1i-P1̄, a = 6.4148(7), b = 7.6549(5), c = 8.2241(7) Å, α = 98.52(1), β = 112.39(1), 7 = 98.38(1)°, Z = 2. Cu4O(AsO4)2 is isotypic to Cu4(PO4)2O . Copper ions on one of the four specified sites show nearly planar coordination by O2- and may be assigned to the anionic part of the crystal structure. One of the nine different types of oxygen atoms is coordinated by copper exclusively. The compound is therefore classified as an oxide arsenate.
