Crystal data and vibrational spectra of the rare earth decavanadates

Abstract

Crystallographic data for the full series of rare earth decavanadates of the type Ln₂V₁₀O₂₈·nH₂O have been obtained from monocrystals by precession and Weissenberg measurements. The substances belongs to four different structural groups and their characteristics are briefly discussed. The vibrational spectra of the compounds have also been recorded and interpreted.
