Ba2Ho10(Si2O7)3(Si3O10)2 and isotypic Ba2Er10(Si2O7)3(Si3O10)2 represent a new mixed-framework structure type with an unprecedented ratio of di- and trisilicate groups among silicates. The atomic arrangement features asymmetric zigzag chains of edge-sharing Ln3+O6 (Ln = Ho, Er) octahedra corner-linked by isolated Si2O7 and horseshoe-shaped Si3O10 groups in the ratio of 3:2. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction investigations yielded the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2), with a = 5.5494(11)/5.5360(11) Å, b = 6.8795(14)/6.6870(13) Å, c = 23.703(5)/23.691(5) Å, a = 83.60(3)/83.64(3)°, ß = 88.80(3)/88.77(3)°, ? = 73.43(3)/73.38(3)°, V = 861.9(3)/835.2(3) Å3, R(F) = 0.0289/0.0559, respectively. The laser-induced photoluminescence emission of trivalent holmium und erbium in both framework silicates was studied using a dispersive single-stage spectrometer and compared to the emission spectra of other framework Ba-Er and Ba-Ho silicates. The 4S3/ 2?4I15/2 transition of Er in Ba2Er10(Si2O7)3(Si3O10)2 causes a photoluminescence emission in the visible green spectral range whereas its Ho representative with the 5F3?5I7 transition in the red spectral region.
