Abstract
We report on the synthesis, structure determination, and characterization of a new series of compounds LnCdB6O10(OH)3 (Ln = Sm–Er). Syntheses were carried out in a Walker-type multianvil device at 7 GPa and 650 °C. Structure determinations revealed the coexistence of an orthorhombic and a monoclinic polymorph, depending on the ionic radius of the lanthanoid cation. The orthorhombic structural variants crystallize non-centrosymmetrically in the space group Pna21 (no. 33), while the monoclinic modifications crystallize in space group P21/c (no. 14). Both modifications display a layered crystal structure built up by a repeating [B6O13]8− building block as their main structural feature.
