Abstract

Single crystals of monoclinic Nd(2)W(2)O(9) were obtained by growth from tungsten borate flux in an atmosphere of air. The crystal structure consists of chains of distorted [WO(6)] octa-hedra that run along the c axis of the structure, and of [NdO(9)] polyhedra that are connected via common faces and common edges to form a three-dimensional framework.
