✦ Synopsis
A new structural family of rare earth oxyborates Na 2 Ln 2 (BO 3 ) 2 O (Ln ؍ Sm, Eu and Gd) is evidenced. The structure, determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, is monoclinic, space group P2 1 /c, Z ؍ 4, with a ؍ 10.695(6) A s , b ؍ 6.320(4) A s , c ؍ 10.328(6) A s , ؍ 117.80(4)°, V ؍ 617.5(9) A s 3 , R ؍ 0.039, wR 2 ؍ 0.101 for Na 2 Gd 2 (BO 3 ) 2 O. The three-dimensional network is built up from infinite sheets of LnO 8 polyhedra in the (b, c) plane, which are separated by sodium ions. The luminescence of trivalent europium in polycrystalline Na 2 Gd 2 (BO 3 ) 2 O: Eu 3؉ is analysed at 77K. The low symmetry of the rare earth sites, deduced from the X-ray diffraction study, is confirmed. The crystal field strength is high for both europium sites.
