Abstract 2 O)]Mn2 (Ti2 Fe)(PO4) 4 O2 (H2 O) 10  ⋅ 2 O, is a new paulkerrite-group mineral from the Hagendorf-Süd pegmatite, Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany. It was found in specimens of altered zwieselite, in association with fluorapatite, rockbridgeite, columbite and sub-micrometre rods of uranophane. Hochleitnerite occurs as isolated and intergrown pale-yellow, diamond-shaped tablets with thicknesses reaching 50 µ m and lengths of 120 µ m. The crystals are flattened on {010}, slightly elongated on [001], and bounded by the {111} and {010} forms. The calculated density is 2.40 g cm- 3 + α =  1.615 (2), β =  1.621 (2) and γ =  1.645 (2) (measured in white light). The calculated 2V ∘. The empirical formula is [K (H2 O)](Mn1.51 2 + Fe0.49 2 +)Σ 2.00 1.62 4 + Fe0.19 3 + Al0.15)Σ 2.96 4) 4.00 1.50 F0.23 (OH) 0.27 ]Σ 2.00 2 O) 10  ⋅ 2 O. Hochleitnerite has space group Pbca a =  10.5513 (3) Å, b =  20.6855 (17) Å, c =  12.4575 (4) Å, V =  2718.96 (15) Å3 and Z =  4. The crystal structure was refined using single-crystal data to wR obs =  0.082 for 2242 reflections with I > σ (I). The crystal structure contains corner-connected linear trimers of Ti-centred octahedra that share corners with PO4 tetrahedra to form 10-member rings parallel to (010). K+ cations and water molecules are located within the rings. Additional corner sharing of the PO4 tetrahedra with MnO2 (H2 O) 4 octahedra occurs along [010] to complete the 3D framework structure.
