Abstrakt

The title compound, dibarium digadolinium(III) tetrasilicate, crystallized from a molybdate-based flux. It represents a new structure type and contains finite zigzag-shaped C2-symmetric Si4O13 chains and Gd2O12 dimers built of edge-sharing GdO7 polyhedra. The [9+1]-coordinated Ba atoms are located in voids in the atomic arrangement. All atoms are in general positions except for one O atom, which lies on a twofold axis. The structure is compared with those of the few other known tetrasilicates.
