Single crystals of lithium iron tungstate, LiFe(WO4)2, were obtained using a high-temperature solution growth method. The analysis was conducted using the monoclinic space groupC2/c, with β = 90.597 (2)°, givingR1 = 0.0177. The Li and Fe atoms lie on twofold axes. The structure can also be refined using the orthorhombic space groupCmcm, giving slightly higher residuals. The experimental value of β and the residuals mitigate in favour of the monoclinic description of the structure. Calculated bond-valence sums for the present results are closer to expected values than those obtained using the results of a previously reported analysis of this structure.

Three rare-earth orthoborates Ba2MgY2(BO3)4, Ba2CdY2(BO3)4, and Ba2CdSc(BO3)3 were synthesized via a high-temperature solution method and their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time.

The rare earth metal (RE)-nickel-cadmium intermetallics RE2Ni2Cd (RE = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Dy) were prepared from the elements in sealed niobium or tantalum tubes in a water-cooled sample chamber of a high-frequency furnace. They crystallize with a tetragonal Mo2FeB2 type low-temperature modification, space group P4/mbm, and an orthorhombic Mn2AlB2 type hightemperature modification, space group Cmmm. The cadmium compounds were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. Five structures of the low-temperature modifications were refined from X-ray single crystal diffractometer data: α = 763.76(9), c = 387.26(8) pm, wR2 = 0.046, 205 F2 for La2Ni1.67(1)Cd; α = 752.93(7), c = 380.95(6) pm, wR2 = 0.061, 260 F2 for Pr2Ni2Cd; α = 750.88(9), c = 378.33(7) pm, wR2 = 0.051, 195 F2 for Nd2Ni2Cd; α = 743.6(1), c = 374.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.036, 386 F2 for Sm2Ni1.93(1)Cd; α = 734.9(1), c = 366.1(2) pm, wR2 = 0.030, 252 F2 for Dy2Ni1.94(1)Cd, with 13(12) variables per refinement. The 4g nickel site is only fully occupied in the neodymium and the praseodymium compound. Both modifications can be considered as intergrowths of distorted AlB2 and CsCl related slabs. In both modification the nickel and cadmium atoms build up two-dimensional [Ni2Cd] networks. In the low-temperature modifications the nickel atoms form pairs, while nickel zig-zag chains occur in the high-temperature modifications. These nickel fragments are condensed via the cadmium atoms. The crystal chemistry and the chemical bonding in these intermetallics is discussed
