Abstract: | A Contribution on the Crystal Structure of CuSmMo2O8 and CuGdMo2O8 Single crystals of (I) CuSmMo2O8 and (II) CuGdMo2O8 were prepared and investigated using an X-ray technique. Both compounds crystallize with orthorhombic symmetry, space group D-Pbca with Z = 8. ((I): a = 10.302, b = 9.796, c = 14.697 Å; (II): a = 10.200, b = 9.779, c = 14.646 Å). The crystal structure and the classification into the already known Copper(I) Lanthanoidemolybdates are discussed. |
