Crystal structure of a layered phosphate molybdate K₂Gd(PO₄)(MoO₄).

ABSTRACT: The title compound dipotassium gadolinium(III) phosphate(V) molybdate(VI), K₂Gd(PO₄)(MoO₄), was synthesized from a high-temperature melt starting from GdF₃ as a source of gadolinium. Its structure is isotypic with other M ^I ₂ M ^III(M ^VIO₄)(PO₄) compounds, where M ^I = Na, K or Cs, and M ^III = rare-earth cation, M ^VI = Mo or W. The three-dimensional framework is built up from [Gd(PO₄)(MoO₄)] anionic sheets, which are organized by adhesion of [GdPO₄] layers and [MoO₄] tetra-hedra stacked above and below these layers. The inter-stitial space is occupied by K cations ha
