Single crystals of Rb2Lu[Si4O10]F (dirubidium lutetium tetra-silicate fluoride) were obtained in flux-synthesis experiments in the system SiO2-Lu2O3-RbF. The compound belongs to the group of tubular chain silicates, i.e. it is based on multiple chains of condensed [SiO4] tetra-hedra forming closed columns. The periodicity of the unbranched multiple chains is four and corresponds to the length of the b axis. Adjacent columns are connected by Lu(3+) cations, which are coordinated by four oxide and ...[more]
