A view of the Si and V polyhedra that make up the framework of Rb2(VO)2[Si8O19]. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. The [V2O8]8− dimer is linked to the Si1O4, Si2O4 and Si3O4 tetrahedra via corner sharing, while the Si4O4 tetrahedra interlink the separate silicate layers of a double layer by sharing atom O10. [Symmetry codes: (ii) −x, y, z; (iii) x, −y + 1, z + ; (iv) x, y + 1, z.] |
