H. Mullerbuschbaum et S. Gallinat, ON THE CRYSTAL-CHEMISTRY OF CUDYMO2O8 AND CUYBMO2O8, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(2), 1996, pp. 240-244
Single crystals of (I) CuDyMo2O8 and (II) CuYbMo2O8 have been prepared
by crystallisation from melts. Both compounds crystallize with orthor
hombic symmetry, space group D-15/(2h)-P bca with (I): a = 10.195(1),
b = 9.721(2), c = 14.563(3); (II): a = 10.094(6), b = 9.628(9), c = 14
.467(8) Angstrom, Z = 8. The crystal structure is characterized by a t
riangular CuO3-polygon, a square antiprismatic coordination around the
Rare Earth ions and the typical MoO4 tetrahedra.
