Abstract: The crystal structure of K5PrLi2F10 is isotypic with those of other K5RELi2F10 compounds (RE = Eu, Nd). The lanthanoid ions are isolated in K5PrLi2F10, with a mean separation between the Pr ions of 7.356 Å. It classifies this crystal as a so-called self-activated material containing lanthanoid ions within the matrix. Except for two K+ and two F- ions, all atoms are located on sites with m symmetry. In the structure, distorted PrF8 dodecahedra and two different LiF4 tetrahedra share F atoms, forming sheets parallel to (100). The isolated PrF8 dodecahedra exhibit a mean Pr-F distance of 2.406 Å. The K+ cations are located within and between these sheets, leading to highly irregular KFx polyhedra with coordination numbers of eight and nine for the alkali metal cations.
