Y.-H. Roh and S.-T. Hong

Abstract: The title compound, pentabarium tris(vanadate) chloride, crystallizes in the well known apatite structure type, with space group P6₃/m and Z = 2. The crystal structure contains isolated (VO₄)^3- tetrahedra that are bridged by Ba²⁺ ions. The intermediate Cl^- anions, situated on positions with symmetry, are octahedrally surrounded by Ba²⁺ cations.
