Oxoboratogermanate LaxTb1-xGe2B6O34 crystallizes in the trigonal system wit
h space group P3(1), a = b = 9.805(1) Angstrom, c = 25.868(5) Angstrom, V =
2153.7 Angstrom (3), F(000)= 2181, mu = 13.07 mm(-1), M = 4882.17, d(calcd
) = 3.76 g/cm(3), Z = 3. The site distribution of La and Tb atoms was deter
mined, and structural shifts caused by the redistribution of Ln-O bond leng
ths and a change in CN, as well as by the disordering of two Ln atoms over
two positions, were identified.
