Abstract

Dicaesium bis-muth(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), Cs(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)), has been synthesized during complex investigation in a molten pseudo-quaternary Cs(2)O-Bi(2)O(3)-P(2)O(5)-WO(3) system. It is isotypic with K(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)). The three-dimensional framework is built up from [Bi(PO(4))(WO(4))] nets, which are organized by adhesion of [BiPO(4)] layers and [WO(4)] tetra-hedra above and below of those layers. The inter-stitial space is occupied by Cs atoms. Bi, W and P atoms lie on crystallographic twofold axes.
