Zur Kenntnis einer modifizierten Form des β-CuNdW2O8-Typs: γ-CuTbW2O8

On a Modified Form of the β-CuNdW₂O₈ Type: γ-CuTbW₂O₈ Single crystals of γ-CuTbW₂O₈ were prepared by flux in closed copper tubes. X-ray investigations show triclinic symmetry, space group C-P1 , with a = 6.722, b = 9.831, c = 15.352 Å, α = 72.82, β = 88.53, γ = 71.76°, Z = 6. γ-CuTbW₂O₈ is closely related to β-CuNdW₂O₈. One significant difference can be seen in an alternate staggered location of Tb³⁺ ions along 110].
