Abstract

We report the synthesis and initial characterization of Ba₉Sc₂ (SiO₄)₆, the first example of a new oxide structure-type accommodating a large alkaline earth ion, Ba²⁺, a large octahedral ion, Sc³⁺, and tetrahedral silicate units. Transparent crystals which crystallize in the rhombohedral space group, R3̄, with a_H = 9.8716(2)Å, c_H = 21.9376(7)Å were grown from a silica-rich eutectic melt. The structure contains layers made up of ScO₆ octahedra linked by SiO₄ tetrahedra. The Ba²⁺ ions occupy large high-coordination-number interlayer sites.
