        abstract = {MgSeO7HO is isostructural with the analogous sulfate, MgSO7HO, consisting of isolated [Mg(HO)]octahedra and [SeO]tetrahedra, linked by O - O hydrogen bonds, with a single interstitial lattice water molecule. As in the sulfate, the [Mg(HO)]coordination octahedron is elongated along one axis due to the tetrahedral coordination of the two apical water molecules; these have Mg - O distances of {$\sim$}2.10 {\AA}, whereas the remaining four trigonally coordinated water molecules have Mg - O distances of {$\sim$}2.05 {\AA}. The mean Se - O bond length is 1.641 {\AA} and is in excellent agreement with other selenates. The unit-cell volume of MgSeO7HO 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.}
