Abstract: | ![]() The crystal structure of Ba(VUO6)2 was determined by X-ray diffraction at 243 K: monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, unit cell parameters a=6.4992(6) Å, b=8.3803(8) Å, c=10.4235(9) Å, =104.749(2) °, Z=2. The structure contains close-packed [VUO6]2 - layers formed by the dimers of the flattened U2O12 pentagonal bipyramids and by the dimers of V2O8 square pyramids. The neighboring layers are bound by the statistically distributed barium atoms.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by E. V. Alekseev, E. V. Suleimanov, E. V. Chuprunov, and G. K.
